Cornshaq plays 8 Eyes - Part 4 of 4


It's time to head to the House of Ruth and place the jewels!

All maps by Loquo.

The House of Ruth



If you couldn't tell by looking at the map, it's a boss rush, er, Duke rush.

There is a lot of hope riding on these battles, however. You have maxed out maximum health, all weapons, and full item energy at the beginning of the level.

When you beat a Duke, always grab the cross he leaves behind. This refills your health and item energies. There is also an S Drink hidden in every room in case your health gets low, so your really have no excuse to lose here.

Remember the Duke from Italy? All you have to do is stay away from the panther and trap the Duke in the corner so you can slash him to death! The panther won't even leave the upper level!

To beat Ruth, just throw the white orb at her and strike her repeatedly. Her attacks are much slower because she'll constantly be flashing. She'll fall before you do, and you'll get the last jewel from defeating her.

You'll then have to play the jewels in the proper order. The correct order is yellow, white, green, orange, blue, purple, red, black. Here are the clues again:

"Between Green and Purple are two jewels."

"White, Orange and Purple are all separated."

"White is next to Yellow."

"Black is next to Red."

"Purple is next to Red."

"Between Black and White, there is no Yellow."

"Black is on the far right."

Black is on the far right side. Red will obviously be next to that, and next to red will be purple. Green will be two jewels away - to the left - from purple. The two jewels green and purple will not be both white and orange specifically, meaning that those two colors of jewel will be in places away from each other. Through process of elimination, white will be kept away from between green and purple, and yellow will be right next to it on the far left. Orange will be between green and purple after all, but it will not be next to white. This leaves only place where blue will be: between green and purple. 

When you get the order right, you'll beat the game and get the password to the second quest: TAXANTAXAN. You have to beat the game three times to get the true ending (much like the four times in Mystery Quest, which Taxan also published, even though the two games are from different developers). Again, it's barely even worth it. Just enjoy the fact that you've beaten it once and be done with it.
