Borgov Castle/Tanya/Vampire Spying
You can enter Borgov Castle at any time, but if you want to visit Tanya, or
spy on the Vampire, you will have to be there at night. There are two ways
in. First, is the gate at the top left of the forest. The hero must defeat
the hounds, then go through the front entrance. The other way is through the
Borgov Crypt in the cemetary. A strong hero can simply open the door with
force, a magic-user can cast open, a thief can pick the lock, and all hero
types can use the key that Igor gives you after saving him. Once inside, click
on the crest on the ground. You will see the crest, and bars of color next
to it. Spell "BORGOV" using the colors. "B" is "Blue", "V" is "Violet", "O"
is "Orange", and so forth. You will receive a key that unlocks the armor on
the right side of the screen. Of course you could also pick the lock or cast
open. Once inside, go north a couple of screens. You will reach a door that
opens into the main room of the castle. Be quiet, use oil on the doors and
sneak if possible. If the vampires are there that night and they catch you
spying on them, they'll kill you. Spying is not essential to the game, but
you will understand more of the story. The castle is too large for me to explain
in detail. Like the forest, it is helpful to just wander around until you
know all of the areas. There is a dungeon where you can listen to the guards,
and two chests to loot. One is smaller, with a 6th wraith, the second a very
large one. Check behind paintings, in cabinets, and under rugs for money.
An empty flask is in a pile of junk. Of course, there's also Tanya to find.
Talk to her, and bring return her dolly (after the Monastery ordeal, the Domovoi
should have told you about her doll.) You can save her later in the game.
If you're stuck in a room in the castle, you can either move the crest, push
"Exit" on the books, or pull the melted candle. When back in the crypt, shake
hands with the Reaper by the door.
