Hit us up in the comments as well and help your fellow gamers. If you need any other The Cave Guides make sure to check out our The Cave Walkthrough that has links for every single puzzle. Let’s get started.

The Knight’s Puzzle Guide

knight invencible the cave
The Knight’s Quest in The Cave is all about distracting things with your invincibility. To get inside the Knight’s challenge area, head down the put that has a bunch of flame throwers. Use the Knight’s invincibility to get through the flames. Head over to the left to trigger a cut scene between you and the king.

Getting the Princesses’s Heart



princess-the-cave
Getting the Princess’s heart is a multiple step process. First you need to head to the right from the King. Eventually you will get to a rope. Head up the rope and up some ladders. You will make it to a balcony that has a princess.

The Princess will tell you that she needs the Dragon’s Treasure before she will give you her pendent. You can follow the signs to get to the Dragon, but you first need to find the Dragon Key. Take the Knight and head to the right. Eventually you will be able to go up to where there is a guard guarding the skeleton key. If you have the Time Traveler, you can just phase shift over to it and back. If you don’t, it is a little bit more difficult.

Take the Knight and one other character up a couple more floors in the castle. On the right side there will be a lever that lowers a cage to different levels of the castle. Put the Knight into the cage and turn on his invincibility. Switch back to the character that is by the lever. Lower the Knight while he using invincibility to the second floor. The guard will shoot at the Knight relentlessly. Now you can take your third character up the ladder to collect the dragon key.

Now take the Knight and the character with the Dragon Key into the basement. For the Knight, head to the dragon down a rope. For the character with the key, take them down a ladder on the right side of the tower. Use the key to unlock a back door to the Dragon. With the Knight, jump towards the dragon and use his invincibility. The dragon will become distracted by the Knight, leaving your other character completely free to grab the dragon treasure.

Take the Dragon Treasure up the tower with the Knight and unlock the Princess’s room. The Dragon will drop a bloody amulet. You can now take this bloody amulet back to the King and get him to drop a bridge to cross over to Excalibur.

Pulling Excalibur Out of the Rock



pulling-excalibur-out-of-the-rock
Now all you have to do is pull Excalibur out of the rock. However, the rocks are holding the sword in place really well. Grab one of your other characters. In the room just below the Princess’s there is boxes of dynamite . Grab a stick and take it to the basement of the tower. Follow the signs that point to the Dragon.

Along the way you will see a sign that has a picture of four skulls. Follow this sign and it will take you to the underside of Excalibur. Light the stick of dynamite and drop it right below the crumbling rocks. When the rocks explode the Knight will be able to pull the sword from the rock. For a bonus achievement/trophy, you can follow the King back to the Princess. If you don’t care about that stuff though, you can just exit out the left to move on to another area.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it! I will also post a few video guides here and there on posts that show some more details. For more The Cave Guides, check out our The Cave Walkthrough Guide Collection.

Let’s get started.

The Monk’s Puzzle Guide

the-monk-puzzle-the-cave
The Monk’s Quest in The Cave is all about becoming a master of a temple. To get in the Monk’s area, first you need to head up the rocky mountainside. Use your telekinesis to pull the support beams down to move on to the temple. Keep going to the left and you will meet the master. Use your telekinesis on the wind chimes above him. He will give you a feather. Head back to the right down the mountainside with the feather and stand on the rickety bridge. Grab your other two characters and stand them on the bridge. Jump with the character that has the feather and you will break the bridge leading to the monk’s challenges.

The Monk’s Quest – The Lotus Flower



lotus-blossoms-the-cave
The lotus blossoms are a pain in the butt, but not too complex once you understand what you need to do. Make your way to the left from where the bridge broke. Head up the ladder and move over to the right. You will see the lotus blossoms sitting on a table. Use the Monk’s telekinesis to grab the lotus blossoms from the table.

Now you need to walk slowly to the left. Keep an eye on the wind chimes above. They will start to sway when wind is coming. Turn and face to the right when the wind starts to blow hard. Keep going left when the wind stops until you reach an open window and blossom pedestal. Wait until a gust of wind stops and close the window with the Monk’s telekinesis. Drop the lotus blossoms on the blossom pedestal and you will be able to move on to the next Monk trial.

The Balancing Monk Puzzle

Credit for this image goes to http://www.monkpuzzle.com. It is the website that the sign tells you to visit if you don’t want to try to figure the puzzle out for yourself.

Riding the Carpet



the-monk-carpet-ride-the-cave
The next part is really easy as long as you know what is going on. To master this puzzle, all you have to do is not move. Even the littlest bit of movement will result in all of your characters falling to their death. If you are looking to grab all of the cave paintings, there is a section with a rope to the right that you will have to have the feather to break a second bridge. Breaking the second bridge also gives you an achievement or a trophy depending on which system you are playing on. Return back to the carpets, don’t move an inch once they start and a rope will drop down leading you out of this area.

Becoming the Master of Zenness



meditation-the-cave-the-monk
Your almost done! Head up the rope from the floating carpets and then up the ladder. To the left you will see a meditation statue. Use the statue to make the picture of your environment bigger. Just outside you will see a support bolt. Use the Monk’s telekinesis to turn the support bolt four or 5 times until it falls off.

Now head to the right side of this room and use the Monk’s telekinesis to break a support beam. Go down the ladder from here and to the right. A block will be on the ground that can be pushed to the right. Head up the rope and then go back to the Zen Master. Use the Monk’s telekinesis on the wind chimes. This will give you master status. Head down the mountainside to the right and you will be able to open up the Master’s Gate. Good job! You have finished the Monks quest in The Cave.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it!

Let’s get started.

The Scientist’s Puzzle Guide

the-scientist-quest-in-the-cave
The Scientist’s Quest in The Cave is all about launching a nuclear missile and killing off other scientists. To get into this area, first you have to hack a console to unlock a door. Then, after getting through this first door, head to the right. You will see a grog machine. Hack the grog machine with the scientist and you will go into a brand new area.

Grabbing the First Launch Key



laser-the-scientist-the-cave
The first thing you need to do once you get into the launch area is get up an elevator. Swim across the pond that you come across to a fuse box. Grab up the fuse and then head back across the pond of water. Head up a ladder and plug the fuse into an empty fuse box. This will open up an elevator.

After taking the elevator up you are pushed into a room. Take the ladder up and hack the console with the Scientist. This will open the blast door so you can move forward. In the next room to the right there is a laser moving back and forth. Wait for the laser to start moving to the right, away from the console, and then hack the console with the Scientist. This will kill the scientist on the right and he will drop your first launch key. Run it over to the room to the left and put it in one of the keyholes.

Grabbing the Second Launch Key



the-second-key-the-cave
Take one character past where the scientist died into the room to the right. You’re going to want a character there. With the Scientist, hack the console next to the elevator to make the elevator work and then take it down. Take ladders down to the third level that will be marked with a 3 next to the ladder. If you head over to the left there will be a wet floor sign. This sign will make the floor slippery where ever you put it. Grab the sign and head up the ladder.

Head up to level one and then go right. Place the wet floor sign on the ground right by the warhead console. Hack the console and the scientist will come running. With the wet floor sign down he will slip, die and drop his key. Grab the key and take it back to the key room to put your second key in.

Grabbing the Third Launch Key



knockout-gas-codes-the-cave
The third key is a lot more difficult to grab then the other two. Keep one character on the top floor in the room all the way to the left with the administrative console. Put one character on the second floor on the right, the break room, right next to the bulletin board. And put the third character on the bottom floor to the left in the kitchen. These characters need to work together to get this last key.

Use the character on the third floor to find out what food is on special for the day. Use the character in the break room to cross reference what day it is. Then use the character on the top floor to figure out what the password is on that day. Move the character on the third floor to the right and enter the code that you learned from the administrative panel. This will unlock the knockout gas room. Grab the knockout gas and take it to the second floor and head to the right where there is a vent blowing out air.

Now with your character on the top floor, go up the ladder to the right. In this room there is a switch called the HVAC control switch. Hit this switch and it will change the direction of the flow of air. With the character that is on the second floor, next to the vent and holding the knockout gas hit the drop button. Knockout gas will go into the vent and knock out a guard that was threatening to shoot anyone who came by. He will drop the third and final key.

Inserting The Monkey



insert-the-monkey-the-cave-puzzle
The last thing that needs to be done is inserting a navigator. Take a character to the bottom third floor. In the cafeteria that is on the left side there is a bowl of fruit. Hit the action button to shift through the fruit until you find Bananas. Grab the bananas and head to the first floor where the guard was.

Go all the way to the right and feed a banana to the chimp. He will now start to follow you. Go down one level to the second floor. Head all the way to the left and you will get to a little pod that the chimp will go into. Head up to the top floor and turn the keys with all three characters. The nuclear rocket will take off and will clear your way to move on. You have finished the scientist’s level in the cave.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it! I will also post a few video guides here and there on posts that show some more details. For more The Cave Guides, check out our The Cave Walkthrough Guide Collection.

Let’s get started.

The Adventurer’s Puzzle Guide

the-adventurer's-quest-the-cave
The Adventurer’s Quest in The Cave is full of switches that can be tricky. Look to the wall for clues on which switches should be hit and the order they should be triggered. First off to get into the pyramid with all of your characters you have to use the Adventurer’s grapple to get across some spikes. Once she is across there is a switch she can stand on that will get rid of the spikes. The other characters can then cross. You will have to do this in two different spots before really getting into the Pyramids in The Cave.

Getting the Ankh



ankh-recess-the-cave
The first thing you have to do when you get into the Pyramids is find the Ankh. To find the Ankh, go right and take the first ladder that is pointed downwards. Then go left and use another ladder to go downwards again. After getting down that ladder, head to the right and you will see the exit to the Pyramids area and the Ankh.

After getting the Ankh you have to insert it in the Ankh recess. Go left and go back up the ladder you came down. From here go immediately to the right and go up the ladder you came down before. Head to the right and there will be yet another ladder that you can go up. Follow this path and you will eventually get to the Ankh recess. Insert the Ankh and move on to the next are.

Flipping a Ton of Switches



switches-in-the-pyramid-the-cave
Most of the Adventurer’s quest from this moment on is a switch fest. Make sure to keep a close eye on markings on the wall. Hit the switch to the left with the Adventurer after going through the door that opens when you put the Ankh in the Ankh recess. This will open up a passage way you need to take both of your other characters in to. Head to the right, and keep going down ladders and to the right to get to this room. Once both of them are in this room it will close and the real adventure begins.

For the first door, look at the paintings on the wall. For me I had to hit the snake and the Lion. From here there will be a grapple point that you have to get to. Make sure you stand on just the painting that is shown. For me I had to have one character only on the dog. Next you have to get the spikes to slow down. Look for the picture of the animal on the wall behind the spikes. Having a character only on that picture will slow down the spikes but not stop them.

Run across the spikes and stop just before falling down. Look downwards and you should be able to see another painting on the wall. For me it was the snake. This will put a concrete slab over the spikes. Jump off of the slab to the left with the Adventurer and miss the spike switch. It’s not a big deal if you hit it, but it’s better not to. Continue to the left.

There will be another painting below you. For me it was the lion. Hitting the lion will put away the spikes so you can continue to the left. Now look behind the next set of spikes for the switch you need to hit. For me it was the crane and the dog. Again try to avoid the spike switch with the Adventurer. Move across the spikes to the right and use the grappling hook to swing yourself to safety. The next room to the right will be the Esophagus.

Lowering the Esophagus



esophagus-downward-the-cave
Lowering the Esophagus in the Pyramids is all about timing. First hit the switches with your other characters to open the door to the right. For me it was the crane and the snake. Push the Esophagus to the right and drop it down a level of floors. After that, move it to the left and put it on a platform that has a picture of the Esophagus and it will start moving downward.

Now it’s all about timing. Hit the switch to the left with the Adventurer and the Esophagus will start moving down. Head to the right quickly and get ahead of the casket. Move one of your other characters to open the door by looking at the picture. For me it was the dog. Jump on the switch to let the Esophagus keep moving downward.

As soon as the Esophagus clears the platform you are standing on run over to the right and head down the shaft. Look at the picture of the next door that you need to open and switch your character to the new picture, for me it was the lion. Run under the Esophagus and let it lower to the final level. Push the casket over the adventurer so that you can move across the spikes. Pushing the Esophagus to the right will cause a bridge to crumble and you to fall.

The last part is full of, you guessed it, more switches. For this section, head to the right and take note of all of the pictures. You have to match all three symbols that are in front of each gold bowl to light a green fire. Light all three bowls with green fire and a stone block will fall down, allowing your two other characters to go free. From this point, use one of your two free characters to push the block down into the pit where the Adventurer is trapped. Use the Adventurer to push the block on a switch to make a ladder available. Head to the right and exit the Pyramid area and complete the Adventurer’s quest in The Cave.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it! I will also post a few video guides here and there on posts that show some more details. For more The Cave Guides, check out our The Cave Walkthrough Guide Collection.

Let’s get started.

Exiting The Cave

exiting-the-cave
Exiting The Cave is a little bit wonky. At first it looks like it is just going to dump you into the beginning to do it all over again. However, this is just a ruse. Go through the first Cave Monster Puzzle. The nice thing is everything is still cleared so you don’t have to do any of the puzzle again. This time, instead of the trinkets are different. There will be trinkets from each Character’s Quest from the journey in the same spots where you took trinkets from before. Take all of the trinkets back to the Gift Shop Man and he will open the door. You will then be able to go up the ladder and finish The Cave. Here is a full, uncut video for anyone that wants to see the end of The Cave.

There is a “good ending” for The Cave. To get the good ending in The Cave all you have to do is give back the trinkets that the shop keeper gives you towards the end. Doing this will unlock a different cut scene for each character at the end, showing them doing a good deed. Credit for this goes to a commenter, Ingmar. Thanks for the tip!

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it!

Let’s get started.

The Island Puzzle Guide

The Island
The Island puzzle in The Cave is all about the Island Hermit. This old hermit thinks that you are going to be his salvation of the island. What he doesn’t know is that you are just trying to get from one side to the other. Most of the puzzles in this section are strait forward, but can be tricky if you don’t use adventure game logic. Let’s go through all of the steps.

Laying the Pipe



cross-pipe-the-island-puzzle-the-cave
The first thing you should do when you get to the island puzzle in The Cave is lay the different pieces of pipe in the correct slots. The strait pipe is the first pipe you will come across. This pipe is right by the beginning starting area of the island. Grab this piece of pipe and head to the underside island to put it in the strait pipe socket. You will need to push the box from above the water mill to make a step so that you can go to the right side of the island. Once on this side, push the box from the right side coast to make a path to get to the underside of the island.

The cross pipe is pretty easy to miss if you are not paying really close attention. There is a waterfall that is spinning a water mill that you already pushed a box off of to get to the right side of the island. On a little platform above the Hermit and the dog there will be the cross pipe. Take the cross pipe to the underside of the island with that character and place it in the cross pipe shaped socket.

The L shaped pipe is already in the underside of the island. Directly to the right of the cross shaped slot for the cross shaped pipe there is a ladder with a special story piece as well as the L shaped pipe. Grab that piece and head left. There will be a couple of gaps, but if you just keep going left you will eventually run into the L shaped pipe socket. After you pop the final pipe in the puzzles actually start getting hard.

Moving the Boat



three-powerder-kegs-the-island-puzzle-the-cave
Moving the boat on the underside of the island can be done easily once the pipes are set in place. Directly to the right of the L shaped pipe socket there is a ladder that goes down. Head down that ladder and hit the action button on the water valve. This will fill up this little moat area with water. Make sure to hold the action button down a couple times to fill it up all the way.

Head outside and grab the boat. Push it over the waterway and into the underbelly of the island. Eventually you will reach a door that can not be moved that is holding the water back. To finish this part of the puzzle you have to drain the water from this little dam area.

To get rid of the water in this area you have to use the pirate flags. Take two characters to the top side of the island and put one character on the furthest bottom part of the underside. The first flag is near the starting area, just after meeting the parrot. The second pirate flag is to the right of the water mill, just after jumping over the box. The third pirate flag is on the underside next to some skeletons. Hit all three of these flags at the same time and a door will open up.

steam-balloon-the-cave-the-island-puzzleThese powder kegs will blow up the rocks underneath the dam area. Roll them out and space them evenly out like the picture just above. The first one you can put by the ladder until you have to use it. The second keg goes just to the left of the four rocks in the background (one is on top of three). Then the third one goes just to the right of the wooden grate that is on the ground.

Grab the first barrel and pull it over to the right. When you get close to the lava the fuse will light. Push it to the left and down the incline. This will blow the rocks under the water and drain the dam. Now you can take the character that was on the first pirate flag around and hit the lever to lower the dam wall. Push your boat to the right until you get to an area over the lava. Hit the water pipe and steam will raise the boat on to the top side of the island. Move your character from the second pirate flag and have him/her push the boat to the right side of the island. Now all we have to do is figure out how to get everyone in the boat.

Getting the Hermit Out of the Boat



hermit-in-the-boat-the-island-puzzle-the-cave
To get the Hermit out of the boat what you need to do is grab a femur bone from the same area that had the powder kegs. Take this bone to the top side of the island and drop it to the left of the water mill before the pond. Then with that same character, run back to where the boat now is. You will notice a box of crackers. Pick that up and head back to the bone.

To the left of this spot a parrot will be perched on a rock. Hit the action button when you get close to the parrot and you will give him a cracker. This makes the parrot sit on your shoulder and become your best friend. With the parrot on your shoulder head back up to the mill.

Pick up the bone and go up the ladder. Press the action button when you get close to the dog and you will tease him. The dog will bark and the parrot will then begin to imitate the sound. Carefully drop off of the platform. If you die, the parrot will stop barking and you will have to redo this section. Continue to the right and make your way to the boat.

When you finally get to the boat the parrot should still be barking. When the Hermit hears the barking he will remember that he has forgotten his beloved dog. The Hermit will run away to get him and you can get all of your characters in the boat. This will resault in the end of this section and the end of The Island Puzzles in The Cave.

The Cave Zoo Puzzle Guide

The Zoo
The Zoo puzzle in The Cave is all about the Crystal Cave Monster Hunter. This puzzle is a common puzzle, as in you will have to do the puzzle no matter what characters you have selected to go through The Cave. Make your way through this section and you will be greeted by the Crystal Monster grabbing one of your characters. After the Crystal Monster grabs one of your characters you will see the Crystal Monster Hunter running after behind it. Following her is the key to starting this puzzle, now we can really start our The Cave The Zoo Guide.

The Crystal Monster Hunter & Her Taper Recorder



the-cave-batteryless-tape-recorder
After one of your characters gets grabbed, jump over the gap and then go down. After going down, go all the way to the right and hop over another gap. You will come to the Crystal Cave Monster Hunter doing a podcast. Her tape recorder will die and she will throw it aside. Grab the batteryless tape recorder, because you’re going to need it.

No go down the gap and head to the left. Eventually you will run into the Crystal Cave Monster. The monster will swallow you up and move you over to the other side by your original character that was eaten. Take your third character down the same path so that they get eaten by the Crystal Cave Monster.

Finding the Battery for the Batteryless Tape Recorder



battery-for-the-batteryless-tape-recorder-the-cave
The battery in the zoo puzzle is pretty easy to find. Once you have all three characters behind the Crystal Cave Monster, take one of the characters up the ladder. Eventually you will see a box. Push it down onto the ground floor.

Push the box all the way over to the left and then with another character jump to the ledge that can now be reached. There is a lever here that will open a door, but before that continue over to the left. You will see some dead bodies on the ground. Head over to the dead robot and click the action button. A dead battery will pop out of the robot. Take this battery back to the area with the other two characters. Drop the battery and the character with the batteryless tape recorder will be able to use it to make an unpowered tape recorder.

Powering the Tape Recorder



getting-the-wheel-in-the-time-travelers-quest
Powering the tape recorder in the zoo puzzle is pretty easy. Take one character that and have them pull the lever to make the floor open up. Then take another one of the characters and make them pull the lever so that the door opens in the tunnels. Make sure that the last character you have has the unpowered tape recorder and take them through the door.

Make your way back to the top of the zoo. If you go all the way to the left there will be a tank full of electric eels. Swim around in this tank with the unpowered tape recorder and it will turn into a plain old tape recorder that will now record noises.

Exiting The Zoo



exiting-the-zoo-puzzle-the-cave
Now that we have powered the tape recorder in The Zoo we can use it to record the Crystal Cave Monster. Head down to where the monster is. Drop the tape recorder on the ground right before you get too close to it. The Tape Recorder will say (recording) when you are standing by it. Run into the Crystal Cave Monster and you will get a recording of the monster’s yelling.

Move back through the open doorways that should still be open. If not just make your other characters pull the levers again. Go back to the tape recorder and pick it up. With the recording, take the tape recorderCrystal Cave Monster Hunter and drop it on the ground just before getting shot for going to close to the vending machine. She will hear the recording and head off running. Once she is gone you can grab a hot dog out of the vending machine.

Take the hot dog back down by the Crystal Cave Monster. The monster will start to smell the piece of meat and start walking towards you. Lead it over to the right to where there is some unstable ground. The monster will break the ground and fall to its death. Jump through the new hole in the ground and you will have completed The Zoo Puzzles in The Cave

The Time Travelers Revenge

Greatest Employee of All Time
The Time Traveler’s Quest in The Cave is all about shifting between the past, the present and the future to basically kill a line of people. The Time Traveler wants to be the best employee of all time instead of the guy that is standing on the desk in the future. To get this whole thing going all you have to do is go up the first ladder once you get into the area. Head to the left and there will be a fuse box. Move the rock so you can get to the fuse. Remember this area because you will have to come back here.

Once you have the fuse head down back to the start. Then the next ladder over should go down. Head down to this part, and drop the fuse into the open slot. Now the time machine will be working and the fun can begin.

Killing The Dinosaur



killing-the-dinosour-in-the-cave
Killing the dinosaur in the Time Traveler’s Quest is a multiple stepped process. The first step is to make sure that all three of your characters can time travel. To do this, take the time traveler back to the past through the time machine. Head up to the area where you first got the fuse from. It is up an upwards ladder very close to the time machine. When you get into that room, there will be a block that you can push or pull, just like you did to jump up to the fuse box in the present. Pull that rock to the right until it stops the water dripping from the ceiling. This will make it so the rocks don’t form that blocked your characters in the present and now they can get to the time machine.

Take one of your other characters into the future. From there go right, past the two ladders we have been using and go down the next ladder. Continue down and to the left. Eventually you will get to a gap and a ladder downwards that is just to the left of the gap. Go down that ladder and head to the right. There will be an exhibit that makes you smell like a dinosaur. Hit the button to smell like the dinosaur and then head back to the time machine. Join the Time Traveler in the past.

Take the Time Traveler, and your character that smells like a dinosaur, back to that exact same room that had the exhibit that made the character smell like a dinosaur while you are now in the past (the room that has a gap and a ladder going downwards from above). Now that you are back in that area, take the Time Traveler to the left and you will see a cave man trying to make a wheel. Leave her there.

Take the character that smells like a dinosaur down the ladder. When you go to the right there will be a sleeping dinosaur. The dinosaur will wake up when it smells you. Head to the left and make it chase you until it is standing underneath the gap. Switch to the Time Traveler, and have her push the misshapen wheel to the right. It will drop down on the dinosaurs head and it will die.

Getting the Oil



getting-the-oil-in-the-time-travelers-quest
Grabbing the oil in the Time Traveler’s Quest is a little bit tricky. For the first part, keep the time traveler in the past and head all the way to the right of this area. You will see a rock on a slope that is blocking water like in the picture above. Push the rock to the right, holding on to the action button and switch to a different character. Now take any one of your characters to this same spot in the present and in the future.

For the character that is in the present there will now be a well. Hold the action button and the character will pull up the well and a bucket will be on the end of the sting. While holding the action button on that character, switch to the character you have that is in the future.

Now that there has been a well, and the well string has been pulled up, this same spot in the future will have a bucket as an exhibit. Grab this bucket and head down to the exhibit that makes you stink like a dinosaur. You will notice that where you killed the dinosaur, there is now a puddle of oil. Grab up that puddle of oil with the bucket and head back to the employee desk.

Getting the Wheel



getting-the-wheel-in-the-time-travelers-quest
Getting the wheel in the Time Traveler’s Quest is now pretty easy if you have followed the above steps. If you have the oil in the bucket and are good to go, keep reading. If you haven’t gotten the oil or killed the dinosaur, please look to the two sections above. Alright, take the oil to the employee desk. Directly to the right of that will be a combustion engine and an elevator. Put the oil in the combustion engine and then take the elevator up. There will be a wheel up there.

Now it just becomes a pushing game. Push the wheel onto the elevator and ride it down. Then push the wheel to the time machine (to the right). Hit the time machine and bring the wheel into the past. From here, push the wheel to the right until it falls off of a ridge. The cave man will fall in love with the wheel and go stand by it. Take your character to the left where the cave man was sculpting misshapen wheels. Push the rock to the right and boom; it will hit the cave man on the head.

Now that the caveman is dead you can take the Time Traveler back to the future. She will now be the best employee of all time instead of the other guy. This means you can now grab anything you want in the future museum. You have probably passed the big key that they called the wrong name that is to the right and downward from the employee desk. Now that you are the best employee, you can grab the key. Take the key into the present through the time machine and then you will be able to exit the area through the door.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it! I will also post a few video guides here and there on posts that show some more details. Thank you for reading and keep it locked on Gamers Heroes for all of your gaming needs.

Grabbing 3 Minecarts for the Miner

minecart-puzzle-the-cave

Really any of these minecart puzzles in this section of The Cave can be done in any order. First to open up the three different sections you have to grab a bucket. The miner will have thrown the bucket at you when you stumble upon him. Take the bucket up a rope, ladder and another rope and you will see a bucket of water. Fill that bucket up with water and then head back to the Miner. When he throws dynamite at you, catch them with the bucket of water. This will give you the dynamite to blow up the openings to the three different mine cart areas.

The First, $niff Machine Minecart Puzzle



first-minecart-puzzle-the-cave
The first minecart in The Cave puzzle can be completed with two characters. The objective here is to get gold in the mine cart so that the $niff machine will be able to sense the gold. Use one character to hold the cart in position underneath the claw. Then with the other character hit the switch to have the claw grab the gold and put it in the cart. Afterwards let the cart roll by itself towards the $niff machine and you will have found the miners first minecart.

The Second, Balancing Minecart Puzzle



second-minecart-puzzle-the-cave
The second minecart puzzle in The Cave is a balancing act between the characters and the minecart. First have a character on the right side to drop the tracks right next to the minecart. With another character move the cart on the balancing platform. Then move two characters to the left platform which will put the minecart on the top. Move your third character to the cart and this will put it on the middle level. Move the cart into the center of this area.

Now that we have it in the middle we can do some shifting around. Take one of your characters off the left balancing set of tracks and go up the ladder to put them on the right side. From here take the character that is on the left set of tracks and pull the minecart onto that set. This will drop the cart down a level, but that’s ok because we still have a free character. Climb the ladders to put your character that isn’t on any of the balancing levels to the right side and then you will be able to push the cart out of this area to the left. Phew, that’s two minecarts down, and one to go.

The Third, Empty Minecart Puzzle



empty-minecart-the-cave
The empty minecart in The Cave is tricky, but not difficult. You need to grab a shovel that the Miner original threw at your first character when you stumbled across him. Take that character and put him in the cart. You will notice that the action button with that character does a little swing. Push the cart with another character down hill. As soon as the cart starts rolling by itself, switch to the character that is inside the cart with the shovel. You will notice that the cart goes into a back room of some sort. Hit the action button to swing your shovel at a yellow rail road crossing sign that is a track switch. The cart will then take a different path and lead you right back to the miner.

Getting Through the Circus Puzzle

PAX_04

The Circus puzzle is a part of The Cave that is dedicated to the Hillbilly character. You must collect tickets to get a pink stuffed bear to impress the amazing two legged lady. Finding all of these tickets can be puzzling. Don’t worry though, Gamers Heroes is here to show you the easy way to get all the tickets in this section.

The Free Ticket



Carnival Ticket 1The first ticket is the easiest. All you have to do is grab the ticket from the two kids to the left of the ticket booth. The rest of the tickets won’t be so easy, so be happy that this one is.

The Dunk Tank Ticket



Dunking Booth Carnival Ticket
You can tackle the rest of the tickets in pretty much any order you like. The second easiest one to get is the dunking tank. Basically all you have to do to get the ticket is have a character on the platform while another one presses the dunk button. A ticket will pop out and can be turned in.

Test Your Strength Machine Ticket



Easy Sledge Hammer
Another ticket that can be grabbed is the test your strength game. Now for this you need a bigger hammer. If you go up the rope and continue upward there is a second area. For this you will need two characters. There are some carnies blocking the big hammer on the left side of this second area. If you have the time traveler, she can scoot past them, otherwise it is kind of a process.

Now you will need another character to be in this area of the big Ferris Wheel. Ride it around until you get to the spot with a fuse box. This fuse box is to electric to take out the fuse, but if you switch to your character by the generator, they can turn off the power for a little bit.

Switch off the power with one character and use the other character to grab the fuse out of the fuse box. You can then take this fuse over to the attraction to the left that has dancing girls. Climb the electric pole up to the Exotic Clothed Dancers fuse box. This will get the carnies to move away from the large hammer. Take the large hammer down to the Dunk Tank machine and you can grab your ticket, the hard way.

The Wheel of Misfortune Ticket



wheel of misfortune
The Wheel of Misfortune is a lot easier than it looks at first. You need to grab the fuse out of any of the fuse boxes that you used for the above parts. With that fuse go to the right of the Ferris Wheel. There will be a fortune teller in this area that needs to be powered by the fuse. It doesn’t seem like the fortune teller is saying anything, but if you look closely his magic ball will turn a color. Have the fortune teller read your future, note the color of the ball, and then head back to the wheel and guess that color. You will win a ticket and be done with those two attractions.

Guess Your Weight Machine Ticket



Guess Your Weight Machine Ticket
This guy is really good at guessing weight, but you can trick him. There is a magician that can make things disappear. When he makes his cupcake disappear at first, grab it off of the table. Head upstairs and directly to the right of the Ferris Wheel there is a dumb bell that the relatively strong person is using. Drop the cupcake and take the weight back to the magician who is bellow and to the right of the Ferris Wheel if you need a reference and just to the left of the Fortune Teller.

Put the weight on the table and the magician will make it disappear. Then you can pick up the weight and take it back to the Guess Your Weight Machine. The carnie will guess wrong because you have an invisible weight. Grab the ticket and return it to get the pink teddy bear.

After doing all that the amazing two legged women still won’t be yours. Return to the prize booth, collect the free ticket again from the kids to the left and set the place on fire. From there you have to take the Hillbilly down the dunk tank with the wrench from the generator to spray the hay bales. After spraying the hay bails you can leave the area.

I hope this guide helped you guys. If you do need any more help with this puzzle let us know and we will get on it! I will also post a few video guides here and there on posts that show some more details. Thank you for reading and keep it locked on Gamers Heroes for all of your gaming needs.
