Part of the challenge of this game is to not only solve the puzzles, find the treasures, and get out alive, but to also discover how to do this. While it can be frustrating at times, finding the right combination of words or tasks will be necessary to successfully navigate the maze and live to enjoy your plundered treasures.
The basic commands I have already noted on the main page, but I will repeat them here for your benefit.
There are some short cuts through the cave as well. From certain rooms you can simply use the name of the room you want to go to.
