Shivers - Game Boomers Cheats, Walkthrough by Sharon Fernandez Shivers WalkthroughWritten by Sharon Fernandez(sfernandez@spu.edu) Last modified on 9/2/96This cannot be an exact walkthrough because the pots and lids arenot always in the same place for each new game. The 10 pairs of pots and lids that youmust match seem to be the same for each game. So, I will guide you to some places, andhelp you avoid other places until you're ready to capture the Ixupi!Table of Contents:. General Strategies. Doing the Walkthrough in the book (USA version only - shame onSierra).
Exploring the rest of the museum. Puzzle hints and solutions. Ixupi hiding places. Pot and lid pairs and their locations.
Flashback items and their location. Trivia questionsGENERAL STRATEGIESYou can only have one item in your inventory at any time. Whenyou match a pot and talisman, then they become a single item. Take careful note of whereevery pot and talisman is found or placed. If you exchange a newly found item for one youwere carrying or if you move things from a far away location to some place closer, yournotes will save you a lot of wandering around.You can usually tell if the Ixupi are nearby for they make aunique noise.
If you turn away quickly, you should be safe.Point system in general:. Solved puzzle 6750 pts.
Clues 350 pts. Reading plaques 250 pts. Inventory item 2500 pts.
Loss of life essence -1500 pts. Recorded message for each room 300 ptsIf you see any objects laying around, examine them. Some are notessential to the game but are worth points.
I have played the game twice and come up witha high score of 485,500 points. Your score can be quite a bit more if you travel via theelevators (which I avoided as much as possible).Use the tip of your mouse pointer, not the lower fat part - ittook me awhile to realize this, so I'm just passing it along.DOING THE WALKTHROUGH IN THE BOOK (USA versiononly)The USA version of the game apparently includes a thicker bookthan the international version, and it contains a 'Walkthrough' chapter. I'll pass along the few answers it contains.Watch the opening movie of your friends locking you inside themuseum grounds. This is your first flashback item. Now would be an excellent time to setthe 'text on' option.OUTSIDE THE MUSEUMTurn left and see the dragon gargolye. The chain's handle will open it and inside you finda letter.
St Walpurgis
As the letter falls to the ground, observe the number inside thedragon's mouth.Turn around and walk up the museum stairs until you will reach alocked door. The squawk box on the right side will play a recording that the museum is notopen. Make note of the markings at the top of the door and its color.
As you head backdown, find another set of markings and a different color to the right of the purple vase.You must then find another way in, so follow the path toward thegazebo. Find a third set of markings behind the tall object. Go just beyond the arch thenlook back to see the fourth set of markings on the triangular stone. Turn back toward thearch. Find the markings on the bench. By the time you reach the gazebo you should have 5markings and colors. Walk to the very end of the path to see the submerged steps.Enter the gazebo and open the metal box and solve its puzzle.Exit the gazebo and cross on the raised steps.
As you approach the Stonehenge replica,find the last marking on the perimeter wall. Now use the markings and colorsyou've seen to solve this puzzle. Descend the spiral staircase. Open the door and find thelight switch along the left side. Continue traveling downward (either passageway gets youto the underground lake).
Open the stone door.UNDERGROUND LAKEFind the corpse on your left. Take the book and read it. This now appears as flashbackitem 9.Get on the boat. Go to the rear (turn left), look down, move theanchor pin down. Move to front of boat, look down, and move its anchor pin up. Now you canturn the crank several times to reach the other side.During the crossing, the water spirit will appear and take somelife essence. You cannot avoid this.
When you've reached the other shore, notice a potstraight ahead. Get off the boat and head right to find that pot. When you examine itProfessor Windlenot's ghost will appear and warn you. This becomes flashback item 4.Examine the markings on the pot for later identification.Walk down the tunnel and find the elevator. Match the design onthe doors with the nearby box (diagonal pattern). Enter the elevator and travel up to themuseum office.MUSEUM OFFICEExplore the office thoroughly, but avoid the fireplace.
Items you should find: the map onthe wall, a newspaper in the coat pocket, a letter on the floor, the elevator behind thetapestry, a door into a workshop, a message on the tape recorder on the desk, and a letterin the desk.

The last oneis one shelf lower and is purple in color.Further exploration should quickly reveal another passage, butleave that for later. Find the ladder in front of another bookcase and check it out later.Leave the library through its front door, stay to the right of the display case in thecenter of the room, and enter the double doors between the two pillars.
