Body parts in refrigerator
While in the Avatar's house, go to the kitchen. Look around for a refrigerator. Open and close the fridge door ten times. If done correctly, the last time you open the fridge, you will find many skinned body parts inside.

Kill Lord British
When you start, go to the refrigerator find the rat poison, then use the breadmaker. When you get to Britain, go to his secret dining room. Replace the bread with the poison bread. Lord British will eat it and die. Note: Save before doing this, as the guards will kill you.

Fish stuck in elevator
In Hythloth, the elevator in the middle of the pool of poison water may get a fish stuck in it. If this happens, you cannot get on it to get to the yellow stand for the statue. Also, when you try to make the elevator come down it goes up after about three seconds, so you cannot reach it in time.
