Zeddas – Servant of Sheol

Zeddas - Servant of Sheol

Getting Started
Explore and get used to the castle layout, including the 
second floor. At the beginning of the game, the most important 
areas are the chapel 
and the library. Read the books, take notes and copy the pictures;
they  contain explicit hints for puzzles. Grab the pages from the 
back
of the  book, and take them each (one by one) to the witch in the
chapel for some general hints.
Notes:
o Don't worry about the courtyard well and the door behind it;
  the well's use will become apparent later.
o Inside the castle, you will pass between two doors you can't
  open. Leave them alone for now. 
o Find the fireplace on the ground floor and set fire to it
  with the Eternal Light (candle).
o In the upstairs dining hall, talk to Valkuria (the general in 
  the painting).

Getting the Ring and Freeing Valkuria
Hints:
In a book in the library is a picture of the ring Valkuria 
needs. The picture is surrounded by a knife and fork...
The cutlery indicates food...
Food is found in a kitchen...
Have you found anything out-of-the ordinary in the kitchen?
SOLUTION:
Returning from the second floor, if you turn to the kitchen 
table you will see a scroll materialize. Click on the scroll 
and you'll activate a trap. You have to click on the pots and 
pans that fly towards you. 
If you miss too many you die; if you hit enough you'll uncover 
the ring.

Once you have the ring, give it to Valkuria and follow her 
instructions.

Getting the Light of Strength (Copper skull)
Hints:
Read the book with  on its cover - have you seen something 
similar to these shields in your exploration?

>From the second floor stairwell, turn right and enter the 
room with 
three shields. To move a sword to a new position, click and 
drag it 
over another sword, then hold it there until it clicks into 
place.

SPOILERS:
The swords hanging on the shield consist of three pairs: two 
long-swords (straight blade), rapiers (thin blade) and sabers 
(curved blade)You  need to move each pair of swords to the 
appropriate shield. The book in the library comes in helpful 
here.

SOLUTION:
Move both longswords to the shield with this insignia:

Move both rapiers to the shield with this insignia:

Move both sabers to the shield with this insignia:

Getting the Mars key

Hints:
Look through the book with  on its cover. You'll see a 
chandelier - have you seen something similar in your 
exploration?
Take the page of this book to the witch to get it translated.

SPOILERS:
On the second floor, go through the dining hall to a smaller room. 
Turn left and take a step forward. Turn right and you'll see a 
threepronged candle holder float across the room.

SOLUTION:
Set fire to the candle holder with your candle.

Exploring the Bell Tower

From the castle entrance, unlock the left door with the Mars key.
There are four floors to the tower. A book in the library provides
some hints about solving the puzzles in this area.

Level One
Click on the fountain heads to reveal six buttons. They should 
look familiar from the book in the library.

Hints:
Which ones to push? Take a closer look at the book in the library.
Are some marked a particular way?

SOLUTION:
Click these three buttons:

|/    |   /|
/|   |     |


Level Two
Around the pot seem to be all the ingredients for some sort of 
brew. But explore this room thoroughly...

Hints:
The ingredients should look familiar from the library - have you 
tried dragging them into the pot?

There's a hard way of solving this puzzle and an easy way. You 
could try each recipe, one after the other. One of them's bound 
to work...
Have you noticed that each recipe in the book is marked a certain 
way? Take a closer look around the room. Maybe somebody's left a 
hint somewhere...

SPOILERS:
On a wall near the entrance is this sign:

   o
  o o

SOLUTION:
Go to the library. Search the books for a recipe marked with the 
above sign. Put the ingredients from that recipe into the pot.

Level Three
Go to the desk with the tarot cards, and play around with them for 
awhile... Looks like you had to copy down all those pictures from the 
book in the library.

Hints:
Once you've uncovered all the cards, and know their positions, then
you can solve this one.
The two pages in the library book are two separate hints.
You have to uncover the cards twice.

SOLUTION:
Once you know where the cards are, uncover in order: the top left, top 
right and bottom cards depicted on the left page of the book. This
will give you the key to unlock the door to the dungeon.

The cards will then be shuffled. After you've uncovered all the cards 
again to find where they are, click on the top left, top right and 
bottom cards from the right page in the book.

Level Four
A hint to solve this puzzle is found in the library book. Take the
page to the witch for another hint.
Hints:
Tried ringing the bell? Just once...?

SOLUTION
Ring the bell thirteen times. Then hold the candle to it. 
Voila: the silver skull.

The Dungeons
Throughout the dungeons are wandering goblins and demons, all of whom 
will kill you upon sight unless you have the ring (located in the 
kitchen). Drag the ring over the monsters to banish them.

Dungeon Level One

Nothing essential to completing your quest on this level. Lots of
nice animations to be found, including a crossbow-shooting arcade
game.

Dungeon Level Two
The scantily-clad temptresses on this level are almost all BAD 
NEWS. The one exception to this is Domina... look for her bedroom.
Locate Gando and the Witch's head for some useful hints. A step-
ladder takes you down to the mining cart, which will transport you 
to the opposite corner of the maze. In two places on this dungeon 
level you will find a chain hanging from the wall. Pull the chain 
to open a trapdoor; you will fall to the third dungeon level.

Getting the Light of Wisdom (gold skull)

It's locked in a cell in the jail - to get the combination you 
need to explore the level thoroughly for clues. The four signs 
you need are patched to walls throughout the dungeon level.

SOLUTION
The combination for the cell door lock is:

/  o  |>  |
/  |  |>  | |

Getting the Saturn key

Talk to Domina in her bedroom. If you answer her questions correctly, 
she will move from the fireplace, revealing the key.

Dungeon Level Three
Tavern: Talk to the gnome and the maudlin drunken knight for some
hints.

Hints:
You need to insert the three skulls into the recesses to open a secret 
door. The underground water channel will drain, allowing you to enter 
the lower level. You will need to have the  key in your possession.
--
Killing Zeddas
Once you have the ring and all the keys and skulls, visit the witch's 
head. Listen carefully to what she has to say about Zeddas.

Hints:
The demon guard can be banished with the ring. Once you've entered the 
cell where Zeddas lies, you will need to use the Eagran sword to kill 
him.

Wield the sword and drag it over the demon's face. You will here a
thud every time the sword makes contact...

SPOILERS:
There are two endings to the game. To kill Zeddas, instead of merely 
driving him away, you need to follow the witch head's advice.

SOLUTION:
Direct all your attacks at the blue eye of Zeddas. Slice at it from
all angles.
