Tips and Misc

  • Ludendorf University has long stood as the centre of learning and culture in the land of Lamordia, but the great institution has suffered badly under the weight of the eternal winter covering the domain's capital. One Institute, however, seems to be busier than ever - you've come to the Institute for Revivification Studies with a cartload of corpses for delivery. You can't help but satisfy your curiosity, however - why has the Institute sealed its doors to outsiders, and why exactly does it need quite so many dead bodies?
  • Once inside the Institute (after seeing off the violent disapproval of several bands of scientists), you quickly come across a band of Flesh Golems standing around a batch of coffins. If you wish, you can climb inside either of these coffins to have the Golems deliver you to a nearby operating theatre or Crawling Claw-infested storage room. The operating theatre contains the key to access the inner laboratory.
  • Head West next to pay a visit to the Institute Director's office, through a storage room containing several Brains in Jars. The Director isn't in, but a note in his office makes the terrible truth clear: the Director is colluding with Doctor Mordenheim to supplement the Baron's fishing fleet with an army of Flesh Golems stitched together from the population of Ludendorf! It falls to you to see this sinister plot fails by sabotaging the Institute's equipment.
  • Pulling the lever in the Director's office opens the doors to two experiment rooms in the East wing, containing a standard tile puzzle and a reskinned version of the statue puzzles from Myth Drannor (interact with the lit-up Electrical Device, then follow the direction each device is pointing in to find the next one to interact with.) These puzzles disable the locks on the door to the Construct Creation Lab. You can also drop in on the Institute's "resident" Undead "consultant", the Vampire Max Entsetzen, who isn't massively keen on being disturbed. (The Institute, after serious consideration, has decided raising hordes of the undead is an unsuitable solution to the workforce issues - although not for moral reasons, but simply because Golems are easier to control.)
  • Doctor Jannik Fleischmidt takes umbrage to you interrupting his latest experiment, and decides to field-test it by setting it upon you. Once it - and the mad Doctor - are out of the equation, you can finish the job by smashing all the equipment in his lab.
  • Your discovery of the Institute's misdeeds has confirmed two things: that Doctor Mordenheim is indeed the figure behind the mass thefts of Ludendorf's dead, and that many of the city's most powerful academics have thrown their lot in with her. You can only hope the city's authorities will be prepared to side with you against her.
  • There are a total of seven notes (although only five are needed for the optional):
    • One to the left of the Loading Dock Foreman
    • One by the first locked door
    • One in the room South of the rest shrine in the West wing
    • One by a brain in the West wing storage room
    • One in the Director's office
    • One outside Max Entsetzen's room
    • One outside the Construct Creation Lab
