Escape From Monster Manor Cheats - 3DO

Exploring new sections
Use the strafe buttons ([LS] and [RS]) when approaching an unexplored section. Strafe into it, then back. This will allow the room to be viewed, and if there is something there, it will not have enough time to react.

Level with multiple doors
On the level with all the doors, the door on the right side of the top section takes you to the Exit. The door to the Talisman is in a door in the center of the map. This door is at the bottom of the right side.

Grave cave
There are two keys on the Grave Cave level that must be obtained to complete the section. One is at the bottom left section of the map; the other is in the top right portion. Once they are collected, use them to open the bottom door (which leads to the Talisman) and the top door (which leads to the exit).

Final level
The last level of the game is not very difficult to complete. The exit is in the bottom left hand portion of the map screen, and the Talisman section is in the area of the top right section of the map.

Defeating the monsters

Grim Reapers
They are the slowest monsters, but if your character is cornered, they will inflict massive damage. Fight them at a distance if possible.

Ghosts
They are slightly faster than Grim Reapers, and are very powerful when they attack. Ghosts can combine into one another. The brighter the ghost, the more there are. Ghosts often look around corners and are easy to hit.

Head Monsters
These monsters are fairly fast, and have a tendency to spit at your character. If one of these monsters spits at point-blank range, your character will die. Fight these monsters at a distance. Another advantage Head Monsters have, is that their spit also acts as a shield, protecting them and any monster behind them. When first seen, a Head Monster will have a flesh toned appearance. It cannot attack in this state, so shoot it. Avoid contact when the monster has a purple appearance.

Spiders
These little creatures are the most aggravating monster in the game. They like to travel in groups. The spider is fairly fast, and shoots green goo at your character. The spider is not very powerful, but may be the cause of wasted ammunition. Shooting at a spiders is difficult because they can only be hit while jumping. Fight them at close range; they will jump sideways at a distance, but will jump straight up when approached. Low on ammo when fighting a spider? Run! Just keep pushing forward at the spider, and when it jumps, run past it.

Spider pattern
Press [C] to display the status screen. Press [A] from the status area and the game will display the map screen. In the upper left corner of the map screen is a compass. When fighting the spiders, when you face north or south, the spiders jump around; duck behind walls; and shoot more fiercely. When you face east or west, the spiders meander in alignment with the your player; attack your in a straight line; jump straight up and down; and do not shoot as often. If you find yourself with a group of spiders that will not stay still and keep dodging the fire, get the spiders to follow you until you are facing east or west and a corner is between you and the them. They will not jump from behind a corner. You could be behind one corner and they will be behind the opposite corner. Pick them off as they jump up and down and are trying move through the wall (which they cannot do). As soon as you face north or south again, they will start going crazy again.
