Scroll



Scrolls are useful items found in Catacomb 3D and the Catacomb Adventure Series. They resemble rolls of inscribed parchment with golden handles.

There are eight in total throughout each game, and they provide things like puzzle solutions, clues to treasure locations, or other bits of in-game lore.

Or a terrible jokes, in the case of Scroll #8 in Catacomb 3D.
