Cave Closing, Repository, and Ending
At this point all 15 treasures have been seen and deposited, and the cave is closing. All we have left to do is the collect the Magazine and drop it in Witt’s End, then wait for several moves to elapse so we’re sent to Repository (standing in place won’t advance this, you need to change rooms or interact with things), then blow open the wall.
After we get the message for “the cave is closing soon, please exit through the main office”, all the remaining living dwarves go away. It is safest to just stand around in Y2 and click the eye cursor until that message so there is no chance of being instantly killed from just walking around.
- From Y2, head S and down the stairs → Head W and down the stairs to Complex Junction → Head E to Antechamber and watch the Dwarf cutscene → Collect Magazine → Head E to Witt’s End → Drop Magazine
Inventory: Lit lantern, Axe
Score: 276 (+1 for dropping Magazine in Witt’s End)
- At this point, you can either walk around or just wait and click the eye cursor until you’re taken to Repository. If you don’t want to wait, you can manipulate the variables a bit (details in the Cave Closing section of this document).
Inventory: None (wiped on entering Repository)
Score: 311 (+25 for cave closing, +10 for entering Repository)
- In Repository, head to the S end and collect the Black Rod → Click on it in inventory, choose “Examine” to reveal that it is Dynamite → Head back to N end of the room with the dwarves (if you are not on the N end of the room for the next step, you will die) → Click on Dynamite in inventory and choose “Throw” → Head through the hole in the wall and touch the door in the main office to finish the game!
Inventory: None
Score: 350 (+35 for blasting the wall, +4 points for not quitting the game)
