Nightshade Cheats For NES

Reset Game

If you use a third-party controller that allows pressing all D-Pad buttons, you can press all directions on the D-Pad + A + B + Start + Select, and the game will reboot.

First Few Rooms

For those who are new to the game or don't remember how to get past the first few areas, this game can overwhelm them. Follow the steps below to get yourself familiar with the gameplay mechanics and puzzles.

  • Chair - Move to the other side of the wall to the left to avoid the bomb explosion damage, then move your chair to the candle to burn the rope and free yourself.
  • Armor - Collect the key from the first set of armor.
  • Crowbar - Go to the room on the right and pick up the crowbar from the floor by pressing Select and going to Pick Up (the Icon is an arrow pointing up).
  • Desk - Go down the stairs in the room with the set of armor and collect the flashlight from the left-side drawer and the screwdriver from the right-side drawer.
  • Anubis Statue - Use the crowbar on the statue, then use the key to obtain the coin.
  • Painting - Take the stairs north of the armor statue you first came across and defeat the enemy. Now press Select and go to "Operate" and use it on the painting to go through it.
  • Levers - Once through the vent behind the painting, stay up top near the window to avoid the hole on the floor, and press the lever on the right side of the room. Go back through the vent and go to the main room with the armor statue and press Operate on the lever on the left side of the room (this will turn off the water where you originally started, tied to the chair).
  • Grate - Use the crowbar on the grate to go down to the sewers, pick up he bone from the skeleton, and come back up to the streets on the other side.
