Roger Zelazny's Chronomaster Walkthrough by Darksheer
Notes: Well, though this game looks good its damn hard! And I mean HARD! You lucky guys now have this walkthrough but when you solve this game by yourself - its top emotion! Also know that there is a plenty of methods to solve many of the riddles and I'll try to mention the places where I know the different way can be taken but I failed to figure it out.
Every time you return to Jester if there is a message on the screen - click on it to play a videomessage.
Also note that some of my sentences are nonsense but they are put there to make it easier to find hotspots on screen. And forgive me if my language isnt as good as you expect.
OK. Lets begin. After a couple of videomessages on your display turn right and select universe, planet in this universe and location and sublocation there. ( I will skip this instructions later in the walkthrough because its useless to describe and eats bytes on your HD.)
Select Urbs.
URBS
At main Urbs planet select location Sculpture Garden. Talk with the robot. (This time you cant presuade to move his ass off the magnetic north but we'll do it later). Walk left or right and explore other screens at this location. Pick up a rock and crush it using a hammer from your Tools. While you explore read all the plaques on the sculp-tures to get some tips. Return to Jester (your ship). Select location as Ground Zero City. Pick up rag and crowbar at the landing site. Go to the north walkway. Use bott
led time on citizen and then another bottled time on bomb; quickly exit this screen and reenter it - whoa, the door is now unreachable. (note than you can just pass the bomb by and not deal with it - we'll get in there in more complex way). Return back to landing site and take eastern walkway. You enter a museum. In-side, pry open the container with your crowbar. Pick up a shield from the container. Pick up a polisher from the floor, use it on rag and use rag+polisher on the shield. You will see display cas
es in this room but you need only general bars from one of them - use polished shield to grab them. Return to the entrance to the museum and find a spot on the door where an arrow to the right appears - go there, use elevator to descend a level down, talk with guard but dont make him angry and walk away. Return to Jester. Fly to the Fort. Pick up a uniform from the dead body. You may wear it. Use bottled time on a rocket launcher. Push but-ton near it to move rocket up. Exit screen to the south and you will
be on the battlefield. Take both flags. Return to Jester and fly to the garden. Wear uniform. Go to the statue with a flagpole and use enemy flag on flagpole (one of 2 flags will do - if you pick up the wrong one - you wont be able to trick robot). Go to the robot and command him to go join the battle - if you did all correct he will go away. Use reso-nance tracer. Now fly back to the fort and there go to the battlefield. Here you should see a bridge with a scanner nearby. Wear uniform. Use general bars o
n Korda. Now you will be authorized to cross the bridge. Inside the fort you will see a firing squad - use a shield on every squad member to vaporize them. Pick up a file in the corner and read it. Then talk to the prisoner. Here you can decide what approach to take but I chose one to believe his story and to let him go (and well, I wasnt killed though he escaped - you may try another approach - its fun to see 'what if'). Exit to the south of the screen. Here you will see a distant entrace into some priva
te area, protected by a code-lock. Here you can either use PDA on keylock or use powdered rock on it to get fingerprints. Either way (though I havent tested the one with PDA) you come in. Here after some cut-scenes you are given a choice whether to save or destroy this universe. Though I am very peaceful dude Korda died when I chose to save it (it may be triggered by something but I dont care much about it) - but I suggest to destroy it. Just after this one you are given a logical puzzle to gain the World
Key if you succeed - you are here on your own though even a braindead person will solve it in 30 minutes. Just after this you withstand a Council Of Wise to choose your punishment - I think the only non-lethal approach is to choose 'Bluff' and then 'Respect' from response variants. You will be freed and now you can walk to Jester and takeoff Urbs. Aurans awaits!
AURANS
Fly to the location of the Magnetic North. Exit screen. Take a bottle - it opens and djinni emerge - talk with them and agree to feed them. When you will get to the new location pick up all the fruit and an animal carcass. Return to djinni via the carpet. Give them fruit with following symbols: pillar, cross, burning man, bread, star and lotus. Take a djinni bottle and a carpet. Return to Jester, fly to the Canyon. Here walk carefully to avoid quicksands on your way - rocks will fall into them and you may
pass. Exit screen to the bottom. Look at the beast. Return to Jester and fly to the Plateau. Exit screen to the northwest. Get all the rocks, coins from the sand and talk to Arabou The Trader. Exchange information with him and when you warn him about beast he gives you a flute. You also need to get sandals from him - you may give him a bottled time, a carpet or a djinni bottle. The most preferrable is bottled time because you have a lot of them and if you give him a djinni bottle then you should get it ba
ck from him in exchange to the Emerald Camel from Treasury. Now fly back to the Canyon and go into the cave - to do this you need to stand near the last quicksand and use sandals on Korda. Then just come into the cave. You can try to take a blinking object within a skull if you want but as I think you can't get it without being bitten and losing your time. Also note that you get the needle only when you try taking it twice. But anyway: this item is not essential. Cross the bridge. Go to another screen. Ther
e go to the southern exit. Here take a cooling feather (take it twice because first time he'll drop it). Return to the Canyon and go to the lake. Use feather on lake and cross it after that Go to the dead nomad. Take a turban and mosaic tiles. Return to Plateau and take a way to the left (not to Arabou) and you'll come to the lake with backwarding water. Use feather on lake and then pick up an ice particle from lake. OK, now fly to Caverns location and enter cave there. Inside, there are many ways to cross
the web walkway: 1) use magic wand on web near you, then take this enchanted web and use it on Korda - you'll get to the exit doing this; 2) (this one is slow) use wand on webs but just walk across them - here you can take a short route but on your way you'll be bitten by spider and will loose time ... or take a long way, which doesnt include crossing a place where the hole in the wall is. After this navigate a maze until you come to the underground lake. Try talking with a nomad but he'll vanish. Take a cl
oth which he had lost, soak it in the lake. Go into the other cave (not one you have come from) - and there use your ice lens on big crystal - you make your lens bright. Use soaked cloth on the emblem on the wall and a door appears in the cave to the left. Go in there. Use your lens on the guy with the sword and pick up his sword. Talk to the cook and after you finish talking use your feather on the fire - he gives you a canteen. Exit to the left. Use your sword to kill the spider, talk to gypsy dancer and
accept her challenge. Go to the northwest and use sword to kill the man there. Return to gypsy and you get her veil. Enchant it with your magic wand. Go to northwest and further to the north - you'll come to the man with a telescope. Talk with him and lend a telescope from him for some coins. You can use screwdriver on the telescope, use lens on the telescope and then use screwdriver on it again and use your 'fixed' telescope to look at the palace. Now you'd wish to get there - there are two ways (maybe mo
re - for example I suppose sandals can help you with this too): 1) use enchanted veil on Korda and then go to the palace or 2) return back to
