Overview
In Part 06, the player proceeds deeper into the cave, advancing the mid-game puzzles and retrieving further treasures. The exploration now involves unlocking new areas, solving more involved sequences, and preparing for later-game challenges.
Key Actions & Moments
The player obtains a trident (a key item required later to open the giant clam) and uses it to access the clam room, which holds the pearl treasure. This aligns with known walkthroughs of Colossal Cave Adventure.

+1
The walkthrough navigates to the clam room via previously unlocked cavern areas, ensures the required items (bottle, oil, trident) are in inventory, and solves the clam puzzle (opening the clam to release the pearl).
The player then returns to deposit the newly-collected treasure at the surface (the “Well House” area) to secure points and reset for further exploration.
Inventory management is emphasized: dropping items not needed, ensuring the lamp remains lit, and carrying necessary items such as the bottle and trident.
Additional side-locations are explored to pick up clues or items that will facilitate the upcoming dragon room, pyramid room, and oriental room puzzles.
Strategic & Gameplay Notes
This part shifts further into “puzzle chaining”—that is, acquiring items in one area (trident) to unlock a treasure in another (clam → pearl). This is typical of Adventure-style games.
Depositing treasures frequently is reinforced: if a player carries too many treasures while exploring deeper, the risk of being robbed by the pirate or trapped increases.
GameFAQs
Mapping remains critical: the cave layout has become more complex, so keeping track of doorways, corridors, and special rooms supports efficient navigation and avoids wasting lamp-time.
Lamp conservation: since darkness is lethal in this game, the player must ensure the lamp remains functional (oil, battery replacement) and avoid entering dark rooms unprepared. Tips indicate this is a common cause of failure.

What This Segment Does Not Yet Cover
The final exit sequence (closing of the cave and repository) is not yet reached.
Some major treasures such as the Ming Vase (with pillow), Pyramid, Emerald may still be uncollected.
The dragon’s den puzzle and the full “twisty little passages” maze likely remain ahead.
The major encounter with the pirate and full recovery of all treasures may not yet be concluded in this part.
