Citadel Tips

The object of Citadel is to get all three crowns. For this, something
needs to be done...


1) the monks:
To kill them you must shoot them in the eye. I would advise that you spend 
a lot of time practicing this procedure.

2) trampolining:
To jump a lot higher on the trampoline keep the up key and the jump key 
pressed down. You can move in mid air whilst doing this by pressing the 
left or right movement keys.

3) the key above the water - screen (3,4):
Get the ice crystal from the cellar, the mater will. Freeze allowing you to 
get the key.

4) the blue bars:
These are iron bars. Take them to stonehenge (L10,1). They will be taken 
from you and turned into gold. You will be rewarded with valuable extra 
energy.

5) the witch:
Drop the skull and 2 bones into the cauldron. The witch will frazzle up.

6) the witch's house:
Use a trampoline or barrel to get onto the roof, then go in via the 
chimney.

7) the cannons:
Only one cannon works, this is in the lab (3,d3). Collect the powder and 
the cannonball, walk past the connon and the ball will be fired. It will 
knock a hole in a wall so you can enter screen (6,d3).

8) the pyramid:
There is a secret entrance near the top of the right-hand side. To stop the 
mummies below the pyramid, you must drop the egyptian heads.

9) the crows:
A. The bottom of the well (2,d4). Use the ice crystal to freeze the water.
Then go right to (3,d4).
B. The cellar (L2,d1). Use a trampoline or barrel and jump to the left into
The roof.
C. The witch's hut (L7,0). Jump into the top left-hand corner of the 
screen.

10) The crystals:
A. Above the start screen
B. The witch's hut
C. The pyramid - take the egyptian figurine across the tomb at (L14, d2)
D. The lab (6,d3) 
E. Inside the central tower - go through the door marked 'c'.



THE CITADEL SOLUTION


(Please note: this is not the only way to complete Citadel, but I think it 
is the best way. And don't expect to complete Citadel straight away. I have 
given as much help as I can, but several of the arcade elements of the game 
may require a lot of practice so as not to lose too much energy. Good 
luck.)

Go left to the west wing (L2,0), and take the orange & yellow key and go 
right to the beach (4,0). Pick up the red & pink key and go to the top of 
the east tower (3,5) via the orange & yellow door. Go down the rope and get 
the energy. Go back up the rope and go left until you are on the edge of 
the tower.
Jump off the tower leftwards, and keep the left key pressed whilst falling. 
When you see the top of the castle (2,3) press the escape key before you 
hit the ground. Keep the left key pressed until you fall on to the blue 
wall. Go left and knock the switch.

Now go to the red & pink door in the cellar (Ll,d1), then go right and pick 
up the ice crystal. Now go back to the top of the east tower (3,5). Go down 
the rope and get the green & light green key. Go back down the ladders 
until you get to the east wing (3,1). Hop on to the lift and jump off it to 
the left when it is at its highest point, into the small gap. Go left and 
open the green & light green door. Knock the switch and go down to the 
bottom of the well (2,d4).
The water will be frozen (as you should still have the crystal). Drop the 
crystal. Jump into the gap on the right and go in to the next room. Swim in 
the water and get the first of 3 crowns. Pick up the crystal, go back up 
the well and swap the crystal for the pink & white key in room (0,1). Go 
back to the bottom of the well and pick up the energy and the egyptian 
head. Go up the well until you get to (2,0).

Now make your way to the wastelands (L5,1), pick up energy on way. (pull 
lever in room (L3,0) to start lift). Open the pink & white door and go left 
to the mountains (L17, 1). Pick up the cannonball. Go back right to the 
pyramid (L14, 1). Enter the pyramid via a secret entrance near the top of 
the right-hand side. Make your way carefully to the bottom of the pyramid 
and go underground to (L14,0). Quickly drop the egyptian head, this stops 
the mummies. Go down and pick up the grey bone. Go back up and out of the 
pyramid. (Leave the head).
Now go to the witch's house (L7,1) and swap the grey bone for the green & 
and yellow key. Make your way to (L3,1) and then go op the west tower to 
(L3,3). Open the green & yellow door. Go up the ladder to (L3,4) and get 
the energy. Climb the rope to the top of the tower (L3,5). Carefully avoid 
the stars, go right to the top and get the green skull (this can be very 
tricky and may take a lot of practice). Jump off to the right and fall off 
the east side of the tower. You should land at (L2,3).

You must now temporarily drop the skull and cannonball. Go to the kitchen 
and drop the green skull. Then go to the arena and drop the cannonball. 
Retrace your steps to the screen left of the central castle (L1,3) and jump 
onto the lift (it is possible but you may find it very tricky). Jump off it 
rightwards when it is at its highest point. You should land on the central 
tower (0,3). Go through the door with a 'c' on it. Go down carefully and 
get the crystal. Go back through the door and jump off the castle 
rightwards. If you time it correctly you should pick up the energy.

Now go through the thorn maze (0,2) to (1,2) and pick up the gunpowder. Go 
to the arena (1,1) and pick up the cannonball you previously dropped. Drop 
the crystal there and go to the well to (2,d2). Go into the little cranny 
at the bottom right and walk off the edge rightwards. Keep right pressed 
and you will find yourself in an alcove. Now aim for the other alcove on 
the left. Now jump to the ledge on the right. Continue right and you will 
find the lab (3,d3). Walk over the cannon twice and it will fire your 
cannonball through a wall on the next screen. Carefully go to the right 
(5,d3) and get the crystal. Go back to the start screen (the main hall 
(0,0) ) and drop the crystal.

Go left to the west wing (L3, 1) and get the blue & white key. Go up to the 
next screen (L3,2) and get the trampoline. Go to the central castle (0,1) 
and open the blue & white door. Return to the cellar (Ll,d1) and go left to 
(L2,d1) . Swim under water to the left-hand side of the screen (pick up the 
energy on the way). Get the blue & white key and drop the trampoline. Keep 
bouncing until your head hits the roof, then aim to bounce for the corner 
between the roof and the pillar support. When your head hits this press up 
and jump. You should find yourself inside the stone. Walk left and you'll 
find crown no. 2.

Pick up the trampoline (and keep the key), then go back to the cellar. Now 
go right to the prison (3,0) and open the blue & light blue door. Go in and 
drop the trampoline. Go back to the central castle (0, 1) where you opened 
the blue & white door. Carry on left until you get to the freezer (L2, 1) 
and go down to the bottom. Go right taking the bottom passage. Keep going 
right and you will end up in a little room in the central castle (0,1). 
Pick up the crystal and go back to freezer (L1,1). Get the chicken and go 
to the kitchen (L1,2), drop the chicken under the fireplace where it will 
be cooked by the fire.

Pick up the chicken (and keep the crystal) and go to the temple, (12,1) on 
the island (which is past the ocean). Go right to (13,1), go onto the table 
and drop the crystal. (Leave the trampoline). The crystal will now appear 
in the sanctuary (12,2). Now go right to the other side of the island 
(18,1) and quickly get the green statue; run away from the white fireball. 
Go left to (9,1) and climb the rope to the top. Go left and get the energy. 
Now take the long journey back to prison (3,0).

Jump on the trampoline to get on to the chain (you may have to jump 
slightly on to the head up on the left and then press the jump and right 
key). Go up and get the egyptian head. Go down via the right and get the 
energy. Now make your way to the pyramid again (L14,1). Go down until you 
get to a screen like (L14,0) and drop the egyptian head. Go down again to 
(L14,d3), walk across the tomb and you will get a crystal.
Return to the arena (1,1) . Get the crystal and go to the temple (13,1). 
Drop the crystals and then go to the east wing (3,2) and pick up the pink 
bone. Then go to screen (L1,0) and pick op the barrel. Go left to the 
witch's house (L7,1), drop the barrel and bounce on to her roof and go down 
her chimney. (now it gets tricky). Go right to (L6,0). Quickly drop the 
bones into her cauldron (you do this by jumping over the first flame and 
walking over her cauldron). Quickly go back to the screen on the left.

Now go back to the kitchen (L1,2) and pick up the green skull. Go back to 
the witch's house (L6,0) and drop the green skull in to the cauldron. The 
witch will frazzle up. Go right to (L5,0) and get the energy. Go down to 
(L6,d1) and get the crystal. Go to (L7,0). Again this next bit is tricky. 
Shoot the monk on the ladder and jump in to the top left-hand corner of the 
room. Again you should find yourself inside the stone. Go left and pick up 
crown no. 3.
Go back to the main hall (0,0) and pick the crystal. Go to the temple 
(13,1) and drop the last 2 crystals. Now go straight up to the star port 
(13,2) and go on top op the table. You are now being transported to the 
alien planet. (note that on the new planet there are a new set of 
coordinates).

As you would expect this last part to the game can be very tricky. Go right 
to (1,0), then go up to (1,1), then left to (0,1). Pick up the red & white 
key and go back to (1,1), down to (1,0), then left to (0,0). Go left under 
the table to (L1,0). Find a way to the red & white door and open it. Go 
left to (L2,0) and pick up the jewelled figurine.

Return to the starport (0,0), go on top of the table. You've done it at 
last. Pat yourself on the back and marvel at this well-earned fireworks 
display. (now see if you can do it again.)
