    WALKTHROUGH FOR THE COLOSSAL CAVE     

Note:
[This solution/Walkthrough would not gain maximum score as some locations are not visited]
There are more than one way to complete the game.

But I need to admit, it is still quite difficult to play from beginner point of view.
I would still get lost in the game from time to time.
Referring to solution below from time to time would be fine.
