"DEMENTIA" --- BARE-BONES Walkthru (Previously entitled "Granny" and afterwards "Armed & Delirious") Len Green. ---- 19 September 1997. <c0975277@techst02.technion.ac.il>
With grateful appreciation to Eyal
Kaduri who made the excellent original
version upon which this was (almost completely) based ; to Tom Feiner for advice & help; and to other members of
"Makh-shevet" for their assistance.
INTRODUCTION.
"Dementia" is a unique Quest/Adventure Game from several points of view and well worth the effort of playing through to its conclusion. It is almost completely ‘open-ended’ and there are six Main-Worlds to explore (almost all containing many Sub-Worlds). "Dementia", as its name infers, is pretty wacky, and hence somewhat difficult for all us sane (??) gamers to follow ! Anybody who manages to do so absolutely 100% without ANY walkthru, cheat-sheet, hints, or help from anybody REALLY deserves a prize --- maybe the Distributors will send you one......ha ha !?!?!?!? But some lesser mortals may want just a little (or maybe quite a lot of) assistance. To that end there are TWO walkthru’s :-
For experienced Quest players who only need a small amount of help here and there, there is the "Bare-Bones Walkthru". This walkthru tells you the BEST order in which to proceed without having to revisit Worlds and Sub-Worlds any more than essential (and saves quite a bit of time since they are spread over the five CD-Rom’s, which have to be changed frequently).
It also tells you all the inventory items you must collect at each site (and there are several dozen altogether). However, it does NOT tell you how or exactly where to get them or (in any way) how or where to use them, so it doesn’t completely rob you of the satisfaction of ‘doing your own thing’ ! If, at a particular site, you are still stuck (and there are several pretty tricky places like this), and you haven’t got the time or patience to solve the problem yourself, you can always go to the identical numbered section of the "Full Walkthru" which tells you in clear detail exactly what to do.
If, however, you do not wish to play the game completely without any assistance, nor even ‘waste time’ with the "Bare-Bones Walkthru", there is the "Full Walkthru" which is a VERY greatly amplified version and which tells you EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DO (and more !! --- and in extremely great detail).
IMPORTANT NOTE :- You can of course visit all the Worlds and Sub-Worlds in ANY order you choose. You can always move ahead, but generally only up to a certain limited point, since you are probably missing an essential item you need from somewhere else. So you often have to do quite a lot of superfluous ‘going backwards and forwards’ (you have to do quite a lot of this anyhow, even using either walkthru !).
However, if you stick exclusively to either walkthru, you will definitely be able to finish the game, and via the ‘most efficient path’ : But, you will miss quite a large number of comic antics and a lot of amusing dialogue --- these frequently are of a partially random nature and hence do not necessarily repeat themselves identically each time, but often vary according to your previous actions (and those of Granny !). So feel free to ‘go your own way’ !
It’s worth mentioning that even these two walkthru’s are not the VERY minimum you need to do in order to finish the game. At many of the sites it is hinted that whilst you (Granny !) are there, you may as well want to do something which turns out to be not actually essential to continue the game and finish it, [ e.g. :- at (097) "Observe Granny’s ‘reading habits’ and note......" !! ]. Even though such actions are ‘redundant’ to the final outcome of the game, you’ll miss some fun if you don’t perform them whilst you’ve been forced to go to the trouble of actually getting to these places (and you’ll only shorten your wanderings by a very few percent !!). Incidentally, you can usually guess when such ‘superfluous suggestions’ occur since they are generally incorporated into a section where there is something you HAVE TO DO in order to continue (and every single action you MUST do does have its own individual numbered section).
PREFACE.
As written in the booklets and walkthru’s of most Quests ; pick up every item you can that is not actually ‘nailed-down’ --- you’ll need it all (almost) later on. In BOTH walkthru’s, all the inventory items you obtain are highlighted in bold-blue and underlined. In the "Full Walkthru" only, the ones you use are in regular blue and dotted-underlined. (You are NEVER told which items to use or where in the "Bare-Bones Walkthru".) In this game, Granny stores all her inventory items in her bra !@#%$*&&?. So from here onwards, your inventory is referred to as your BRAVENTORY !!
As in all Quest/Adventure games save VERY FREQUENTLY ! You never get ‘killed’ in this game (thank goodness !!), but you can VERY easily ‘get lost’. Unlike many games, "Dementia" is fully adapted to Windows ‘95, and so there is absolutely NO limit to the number of Saves you can make. If, as some do, you favour longish descriptions of your Saves :- no problem --- they can be almost unlimited in length (there are some restrictions imposed by Windows ‘95, e.g., no front or back slashes, and no colons or asterisks, etc. --- but they are very few and very easily spotted and avoided !). There are a few places where the timing is fairly critical and you may have to repeat a few times before getting it right --- before these special situations arise, you're recommended (in green) to S A V E ! There are also a (very) few places where the actions are somewhat complex or ‘unclear’, and going back involves the bother of changing back to previous CD-Rom’s ; and hence it may be advisable to save -- these places are marked (in green) s a v e !
In "Dementia" there is a gimmick practically unknown in any other Quest/Adventure. You very frequently have to drag an object in a special direction or to a certain place. The "Bare-Bones Walkthru" does not tell you what to drag, how, or where ; but since you might overlook this action, every site in which you do have to drag something is marked in BOTH walkthru’s with a red asterisk, {e.g. drag*}, and also the instruction section number is highlighted in bold red { e.g. (007) }.
The tape recorder gives you some ‘demented’ hints at many of the sites you visit. You can rewind, fast-forward, play and stop, as desired. In some screens you are informed that the tape recorder is not functioning ("intentionally" --- those programmers !!!) for one reason or another :- obviously you get no ‘info’ from the tape recorder in those screens !
Whenever you right-click on a braventory item, you obtain a large mobile illustration of the item and a (usually zany) written description of it &/or its use. These descriptions often contain (obscure) hints as to where/how you will have to use the item in the future !
Usually it is very clear, both visually and audibly, whenever you obtain a new braventory item. Occasionally, however, you can pick up something without being aware of it ; so to avoid repeating actions and wasting time, check Granny’s braventory from time to time. The opposite can also happen (albeit rarely) and you imagine that you have obtained an item whereas in reality you haven’t. This can be very annoying, since, at a later stage when you actually need the braventory item you may have to return to another World and Sub-World and often have to change CD’s twice in the process. Bottom line :- WHENEVER you have got (or hope to have got) a new braventory item, it is well worth the extra few seconds to check to make certain --- and also to view it in close-up !
When you get the map, you can travel to the different Worlds and Sub-Worlds. In order to save time later, here are some general notes and the appellations used (it is well worth while drawing your own simple rough circular diagram for easy reference --- you will need it during the whole of the game, and the couple of minutes it takes to draw will save you very much more time later in the game !).
On the map, the Worlds are situated on a circular track and Granny always travels in an anti-clockwise direction. In the following description, the numbers inside the ‘curly parentheses’ {} refer to the serial numbers of the CD-Rom’s concerned (not really necessary !). Granny’s villa is pretty obviously situated in the middle of the left hand circumference of this circle. Travelling anti-clockwise from the villa, the other 5 Worlds are marked in violet thus :- A, B, C, D, & E. The villa itself {1}, A {2}, & B {1}, don’t contain any Sub-Worlds. The last 3 only, contain Sub-Worlds as follows :-
C consists
of :-
C1 {4} which is the right-hand square
trapdoor (closed and with a hinged-lid).
C2 {3} which is the large double
swing-doored (orange coloured) vent opening.
C3 {5} At the extreme right end of the
platform (right-hand bottom corner of the screen).
D consists
of :-
D1 {2} which is the
‘black-hole’ (just below the centre of your monitor screen).
D2 {2}
which is the ‘satellite’ (at the top, near the left side of your monitor
screen).
E consists
of :-
E1 {5} which is the rock (to which is
attached a balloon), on the upper left of the platform.
E2 {4} which is the tree, in the
‘middle’ of the upper surface of the platform.
E3 {3) which is the wheel to the right
of the upper surface of the platform.
E4 {3}
which is the sphere to the right of the lower surface of the platform.
There is always at least one exit icon from every frame (screen) to get back to a previous frame, a ‘Sub-World’, a ‘Main-World’, or to return to the Map itself !

GRANNY’S VILLA.
(001) The game proper starts ! Find the kitchen.
(002) Click on the chair on the right,

(005) Go to the attic.
(006) Get the bottle of brandy
.
(007) Get*
a bucket.

icon (whenever this happens in the game, it means that this particular item is used on
something/someone in that SAME screen). Use the bucket icon on the running worm
until you catch the worm -- you get color worms in a bucket
.
(009) Find the bathroom.
(010) Observe the antics of the
‘mad cow’ (no...NOT Granny), and find a way of dealing with her* !

won’t hurt to answer it a few times !
(023) But there are more interesting things in there than that !!
(024) Get George’s tape recorder
---- THIS ITEM IS IMPORTANT, since George’s recordings will give you
clues (albeit obscure clues !) later on about many, although not all, of the screens
you’re in. Now return to the bedroom, the dining room and finally the hallway.
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder from
time to time in the (many) different places you visit and listen to George’s

(030) Get Granny to drive her incredible ‘washing-flying
machine’ out of the washroom and "into the great beyond" ! ( Before she can
do this she has to find a way to lever up the rails so that they don’t impede her
progress. This is easy, but keeping them up is more
problematic ! If the rails don’t remain up, check that you have all
of the following items :- a snorkel ; color worms in a bucket ;
a bottle of brandy ; sun tan lotion ; a flying casket ; a coat hanger ;
and a scarf ).
(031) Gaaassssssssssssssss..................

(197) Exit to E. Jump off onto the map. Go to C
and then to C3. Take a single step
forward.
s a v e !
(198) Enter the second (red doored) room on

communication via the system of tubes on the rear wall. A mad ‘boat race’(??)
crashes in and out of the room !

all in this same frame.
(205) |~ They are all various ‘clickings’ on objects
(some more than once !!).
(206) |~ NO braventory items or draggings are involved here
!

(208) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the
(209) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told exactly
what to do and in very
full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).
You enter a room where a
supervisor is scrutinizing a TV set and frequently answering a phone. A mouse emerges
periodically from a wide tube into a box below ! Granny would like to get near to the TV
set, but .......... no go !
===================
(210) Do something about it ?!?
(211) Drag* something then sit back and wait to see what happens to the
supervisor ----- poor fella !!

room. S A V E !
(221) Do something and pretty quickly
proceed to the next action.
(222) Granny finds herself in a ‘fork &
shopping-cart’ contest !
(223) This short game can best be
‘won’ by using the 4 arrow keys on the keyboard rather than the mouse. For more
details (if you need them) see the "Full Walkthru" (223). You may do it
first time, or it may take you many attempts --- but don’t give up if you find it
somewhat tedious --- you’ll succeed sooner or later!!
(224) For all your efforts, you get the
bottom part of a hang glider - of all things !
(225) Return to the platform with those shutters, etc.
(226) Find a way to get transported to an ‘electrified
room’. Try entering the laser room --- serves Granny right !!
(227) How can you enter that room just the same ?
(228) Try again and Granny succeeds in stepping into
the room but becomes invisible !!
(229) You have to ‘open up’ a new exit !
(230) Again you have to be fairly quick !!

‘invisible-electric’ room. You get
a smelly cigar.

===================
(235) |~ There are 6 ‘actions’ you have to do here ---
all in this same frame.
(236) |~ NO braventory items are involved here, but

(237) |~ HINTS :- Granny
has a mud bath, & some very youthful aerobics !
(238) |~ OBJECTIVES
:- (A) Get a squeegee.
(B) Get onto the exercise bike.
(239) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the
(240) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told
exactly what to do and in very
full detail ; together with descriptions of what happens and why !).
===================
(241) Get into a weird red
‘vacuum’ room.
===================

(243) |~ They are all in this same frame (a sort of red
‘vacuum room’).
(244) |~ NO braventory
items or draggings are involved here !
(245) |~
BOTTOM LINE ! You get a
Master key !!
(246) |~ If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from the
(247) |~ "Full Walkthru" (where you are told
exactly what to do and in very
full detail ; together with descriptions of what
happens and why !). S A V E !
(248) |~ The last ‘action’ ONLY is a bit tricky
and has to be done quickly,
(249) |~ so save frequently and particularly
before the last but one ‘action’.
If you get the timing right, the
whole room contracts and expands ; Granny is swivelled to the left ; and you get the key.
You may be lucky and succeed first time or you may have to repeat a few times --- but
you’ll get there ! (N.B. You may not notice that you actually GOT the
key, but if the abovementioned phenomena took place, then you DID. It’s very
well worth while just checking in Granny’s braventory to make absolutely
sure --- you don’t want to have to make the very long
journey specially all the way back to here again, and then have to repeat all of
this again, some time later in the game !).
===================
(250) Exit, exit, etc. ! Travel from D to A. Go into the room
with the two ‘slumbering guards’.
A.
(251) What can be done about that filthy
mirror ? Granny knows !

(261) Use the skateboard. Back to the woodland again.
(262) Drag*
something --- Granny is now in the Rabbit’s
(Alice in Wonderland type) stock exchange.
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder from
time to time in the (many) different places you visit and listen to George’s
"diary". If you haven’t done so already, view all items in
your braventory (mouse:- right click) & read the written captions below
them - they may contain wacky hints ?
(263) Make a cheeky action !?
(264) And another ?!

mirage !!).

(267) You get exploding boxes.
(268) Go to D and from there to
D1. Go back to that eerie forest again.

(272) What ‘anaesthetic’ might be suitable ?

S A V E !
(274) "The laundress and the
tunnel". This is a whole ‘scene’ involving several actions but no
braventory items (either given or received) and no ‘dragging’. Some of the
actions have to be performed fairly quickly. If you ‘slip-up’, you start over
again --- but it’s fairly easy and you get as many tries as you want. If you succeed,
you automatically get transported to the next stage of the game. If you get stuck for too
long, maybe get help from (274) of the "Full Walkthru" (where you are
told exactly what to do and in very full detail ; together
with descriptions of what happens and why !).
(275) Granny would like to get to the guy in the chair but the
billy-goat isn’t having any !
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints !?).
===================

guy in the chair !)

guy, it goes
better if you move her anywhere away from him !

get help from (285) of the "Full Walkthru".
(286) Success in the game creates a new exit.
(287) Take it ! You are now in a place where a workman is using a
pneumatic drill on a giant snail.
(288) Granny keeps shaking and falling down. What does she need to
overcome this ??
(289) Do something.
(290) And something rather similar.
(291) And something else of a somewhat similar nature.
(292) You get a
mushroom.
(293) Take the ‘new exit’. You are in Melanie’s

As always, poke around and keep your eyes and ears open. N.B.

===================
(337) Exit to the fourth floor corridor. Get
to A VERY STRANGE ROOM INDEED !! Some
crazy architect has somehow split it horizontally along the middle --- goodness only knows
how or why ?!? This time, have a very good look around (if you want to make
ANY ‘sense’ of what is to happen ??). Granny can also take a shower here if she
so wishes !?
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints
!?). S A V E
!
(338) Drag*
something.
(339) The set up here is absolutely zany ! Granny has
got to get ‘upstairs’ (talk about "split level" !).
(340) Quite a bit of ‘fun and games’ to achieve this !
(341) She would like to get to the right hand side of this floor
but the artist won’t let her ............ it spoils his ‘concentraaaaation’
!
(342) She will have to distract him with one of her possessions.
From his talking and singing, it’s not difficult to guess what would appeal to him !
(343) Notice that that there is a ‘counterpart’ chest of
drawers on the upper
level !
(344) And also an ‘ancient Russian fireplace’ on both
‘floors’ !
(345) There IS a somewhat shorter method to get rid of the artist
than the one described in the "Full Walkthru" (see 345) !! Maybe
you’ve found it ?!?
But you miss a fair bit of the ‘fun’ !!
(346) Get rid of that weirdo on the right of the camera !@#$%&?
.
(347) You get a camera (with a
backwards flash).
(348) Granny has apparently "missed her waxing

NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints !?).
(350) Make part of the cube rotate in one plane !
(351) And now another part in a different plane.........Country and
Western music, & dancing red boots! At least the cube looks a bit more
‘normal’ now!
(352) The architect is obstreperous. What has he lost ? Oh yes ---
give him something ‘useful’ (not that it seems to actually help him much !).
(353) Muffle the music (how ?) and make the red boots stop dancing
and become more accessible.
(354) You get red dancing boots.
s a v e !
(355) Exit, exit, etc. (some exits are a bit ‘trickier than
usual’) ! Go to E and then to E3.
E & E3.
(356) Exit and arrive at George’s
office. Click on him many times to get him to pay any serious attention ----
you’ll hear just what he thinks of his mother
(and vice versa) !!!
(357) Since (according to Granny --- his mother) George is only
interested in "money and young women", get Granny to act the part. NOW George
really pays attention and opens up his inner sanctum !
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder from
time to time in the (many) different places you visit and listen to George’s
"diary". If you haven’t done so already, view all items in
your braventory (mouse:- right click) & read the written captions below
them - they may contain wacky hints ?
(358) Use something.
(359) Can you photograph George ? ................ Sure !!

room { see (021) }. Drag* something.

-------- Hatch closed -----
------- Take off !

it if you like !!), don’t worry --- you can very easily get it to retract again !
(367) Exit, exit, etc., and return to A.
A.
(368) Open the double fawn coloured doors at
the top of the (static) staircase.
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints !?).
(369) Granny is given
‘instructions’ "for the sake of security".
(370) She does what she is told --- for what it’s worth !!!
--- and is informed that she can begin the game.
S A V E !
(371) This may be a bit tricky, but not really hard. As always, you
can repeat as often as you need. (HINT :- If you have trouble, sun tan lotion may assist
!!). If you get stuck for too long, maybe get help from (371) of the "Full
Walkthru". When you ‘win’, Granny reaches the trophy and obtains a goblet.
E1.
(372) Exit and go to E, and then E1, and then to
the giant.
(373) Find the balloon maker --- He’s not far away --- A
galloping stone will take Granny to him --- She shows off her dancing prowess with the
wacky character (is that her idea of " jiving " @#$%&???).
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints !?).
(374) Talk to the guy. Granny wants an
engine or electricity or whatever. He says she can take it --- but how ?? Give him
something he wants.
(375) ................. He lied ................... He wants more
than that !! You get
an engine and a car battery.
Exit, exit, etc., and return to D and then D1.
D1.
(376) Go to the eerie forest. Try the car
(which flew out of the axe-man’s head) ...... no go ! Use something pretty obvious on
it and it lights up --- literally !
Exit bottom left corner.
S A V E !
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder
again (hints !?).
(377) Granny is in front of a bench, next to
a kind of ‘fruit-machine’ ; with that darned kangaroo still hopping round and
round in circles. Get the machine to ‘light up’.
(378) Make the barrier bar descend (timing a little tricky here !)
--- and see what happens to the kangaroo !
(379) QUICKLY get Granny to do something.
(380) Quickly (since he soon recovers and resumes his
hopping !) cause the kangaroo to take Granny on a guided tour of the area --- ride him
Cow-Granny ! On their travels, Granny picks up a magnet. On return, Granny is thrown down off the
animal’s back. IMPORTANT :- check Granny’s braventory
to see you’ve actually acquired the magnet. Exit right bottom corner ;
back to D, and the map. Go to C
and C2.
C2.
(381) At C2 go to
[ii] --- see (056). Granny has arrived at a Disco. Slouch around and talk to the
D.J. and listen to what he has to say.

clapping hat.

something. A new exit opens up --- Enter this large round hole.

an object --- ‘curtains’ to the brat (although you can still hear him !!).
NOTE. Operate the tape recorder from
time to time in the (many) different places you visit and listen to George’s
"diary". If you haven’t done so already, view all items in
your braventory (mouse:- right click) & read the written captions below
them - they may contain wacky hints ?
(388) Now shut him up --- thank goodness !!
(389) ‘Interact’ with both of the two old geezers.
(390) Granny’s ‘repertoire’ --- " Honky-tonk
" ??
(391) Get out of there. A guard bashes Granny, shakes her, and
grabs her braventory.
(392) She finds herself in another most curious room, and gets a
REAL shock !! She can click on the exit-icon on the large central screen .... sit in the
chair .... pull the lever on her right ..................... and get a really good close
up view of her hair and other things --- but not much else !! ‘Retreat’ !
(393) She’s back with the guard and gets her own back by
kicking him where it hurts most --- She also gets her braventory returned.
(394) The guard has plenty of pin-on metal medals --- ‘attract’
him !!!
(395) You get an
emergency steering wheel.

curious room.

a ‘universal’ object and enter the opening.
(411) One tiny Napoleon playing with a cannon.......another running
around in circles attempting to avoid being crushed by a steamroller driven by Quinn

as you can from the ‘cannon-kid’ and surroundings.

Granny’s subsequent movements !!
(419) What’s this --- a magic stick ! You get
TWO crooked sticks.
(420) How can you ‘manufacture’ a large new (exit) hole ?
(421) Use this new exit-icon and enter the hole. Granny enters a
solitary confinement room with her granddaughter Donna. ( Let the sequence run to the end
........ No, there’s n o t h i n g wrong with your computer
