Sanctuary

map and walkthrough

Sanctuary is a MS-DOS adventure game and © 1989 by Conrad Button and ButtonWare, Inc.

This solution is by David Welbourn, and is based on the former shareware release of the game.

Note: Specific location names are not used in the game; the names of locations on these maps are my own invention, based on the room descriptions.

Map 5: Wizard Island

I can't be bothered trying to figure out the exact setup of the maze, but if you follow the directions on the note from the safe, you should have no trouble finding the Sanctuary.

CAUTION: Don't ever drop anything anywhere except on the beach when on Wizard Island. Kids steal your dropped items and you'll never see them again.
