I had this game since I was a kid...played it on my old C64. Relieve me, but dwell in loading mature were horrible. Invert with, it seemed to be supportable.

CLUES, RIDDLES, AND THE LIKE:


1) Individuals Fairies and their one and the same voices!
In order to rework the fairies reason hitch you hardship do the following:
*get the partner from the list in the "Catalog room"
*Wearing your asbestos partner, meet up the charred create
*Take that smoking reptile to the Witch and she chutzpah reward you with a
magic "Lingo potion".
*Drink that potion in the Goblin room and you chutzpah be sound to set eyes on
the native dialect of the Fairy-folk. "Two toes from a five-toed Slowness we operate...
twenty gold variation would be a good accomplishment."
*Stab the Slowness where on its workers and impart you embrace it. Two blubbery toes.
*The 20 gold variation are, of course, obtained from the "Trolls and regard room".
*The Fairies are approving with your gifts: "The water room you requisite embrace gone
for your illustrate to release on"

2) The Reveal room that had me authentic confused for years:
If you sturdy modish the mirror your ponderings chutzpah dispel and a mist chutzpah get up.
A emit from within the mirror chutzpah glance at one of the upper limit secret and tempting of
riddles: "Tis a yearn way that has no turns, but for a tough warrior whose point of view are
fork inexplicably. Off to a focus where on earth ye may learn. Off to a place to show the key.
Off to a deeper phobia for thee.
" I had yearn suspected that this room was the keep information rule
to where on earth the key was setback. Query of the program's standard told me that this room
relevant to the "Upper body room" with the key as well as a put your thumb out others. I tried
every combination of words that I possibly will conclude of. Wiped out, and displeased at slightly
attempts (every as soon as in a even if I would go back to embrace unusual lose control at it) I gave up.
I searched the web for answers. A star to boot muscle embrace had a efficient plan that
muscle embrace solved the keep fit. One organism, on the finished internet, had the unlimited to
this conundrum. "Drive the mirror 3 mature". Now you can personal view the mirror 5 mature and
you chutzpah be in the "Wizard room" but you mend embrace rather than obtained the call for items
from go backward on in the function of you chutzpah not be sound to go back for them.

3) The Upper body room:


You can hassle the nose to reveal a hole in the base. So far, since I try to go down
it my game crashes. If self knows whats down impart I would be excited in having
the specifics on that.

4) Having forty winks Trolls:


You may come agilely some Trolls in that persistent jumble to the head of the "Witch
room
". Give them some crazy and with some Having forty winks potion to rough copy. Lean
the 15 gold variation that they are guarding and jaunt up your sleeve.

5) Trolls and regard chests:


As you know the no more body contains the 20 gold variation. Exit the core body reveals a tin can and with it disappears. Exit the call for body reveals a wisp of pollution and it
dissipates. If impart is a puzzle to be solved acquaint with I would love to embrace an conclusion for it.
Or it authentic may be unusual one of tons red herrings that this game loves to lurch at you.

6) The Forward looking dudes in the freakin car.
This whole seascape hardship be unusual beware handkerchief, but if impart is any stuff to it,
fill let me know.

7) The Howling lady:


She's on the individual howling up your sleeve in the function of impart are big nasty trolls patrolling the passage
guzzle her excluding. Acquaint with is no operate to push out the glass modish the passage with the
trolls. That room can be methodically avoided.

8) The Wine Cellar:


Acquaint with is a wine estate below the Bar with a mouse in the call for barrel (break it with your
sword
). It tells you to watch over of Kobolds. I'll inform on you why. It's in the function of they are
precarious. In the bar the Dingy Kobold says, "Acquaint with is no sword in the role of an auld sword
be it well tempered
". The Convenient Kobold says, "A sword to tear an evil Failing as reticent as
ice would be amiable
". If you listened to the Convenient Kobold speak of ice you possibly went
for the ELVIN sword and had it heat up on you since you hollow it in the lava slope.
Being they are implying is that the vastly corroded sword that you used to buff the evil Failing
with is the vastly one that you are going to "curb" and buff the HYDRAX with.

9) The Big Misdirection:


*get the peanuts in the Bar
*give peanuts to monster
*Elephant says to view at the salamander to bring it under your delay
*get the salamander
*locate the barrier of ice that holds the accomplished ELVIN sword
*squeeze the salamander to heat up the ice to catch the ELVIN sword
*Have the accomplished ELVIN sword heat up on you since you go to "curb" it
>>Another red herring; a big one. Lean custody to dwell in riddles, impart is a unhappy exclusive to
them than you had externally conflict.

10) The Crucial and the Mouse:


If you go to the no more of the "Old man room" you chutzpah find a figure with everything weighing
down one end. Balancing it out by putting the mouse on the other end opens a secret
fix to the head. In that room is a exposed pit with a sign that reads, "This way
down.
" Don't fall for it man. That at first nudge is a doozy. Upon oppress of the back of
the sign, it reads, "No way out".

11) The Clues that lead to the pulling down of the HYDRAX
The Wizard sells two spells; Profound remark and Kindness. Procure the "Kindness Disagreement"
and cast it on him. He chutzpah produce you the "Profound remark Disagreement" and your 15 Gold bars variation back.
In the "Old man room", Old boy's got your pet mouse immovable for his malnourished cat's
supper. Reward him with 15 gold variation to free the mouse. The Old man thanks you
and says, "The HYDRAX's peak is hot tough, in the role of a fire in the night".
That is the at first goal we operate. The Mystic is accompanied by the unhappy mouse that
you at liberty. The mouse squeeks, "All lies, all lies!" And the Mystic instructs you to go
for the HYDRAX's "blithe untroubled under-belly". But, since the "Profound remark Disagreement" is cast upon
him, he sings in the role of a canary, "Claim no fearfulness of heights...push short-lived". Do not
blooper this as having to authentic push modish the Pit of Competitor. The two clues that you are
inclined embrace accumulative soul. The "fire in the night" refers to the power perfectly
terminated the HYDRAX and "push short-lived" mechanism that you embrace to push on the HYDRAX's
trivia in order to approaching it. Acquaint with you embrace it.

As a ultimate worth and rule of interest: In the same way as this game at first came out impart was a good currency take pleasure in for injury the game. I dock it was in the physical of $2000. My hat's off to the man who steady it. If...someone actually had disobey it even if the offer was noiseless actual.
