Is there any other way around xxx other than fighting?
Hint 1 of 4:
Some of the monsters in Beyond Zork are defeated by puzzle-solving. Usually
the only way past those encounters is to solve the puzzle.
Hint 2 of 4:
The rest are straight fighting. However, if you can't get past a creature by
fighting (and you can't afford better armor) you can use magic items to get
rid of it.
Hint 3 of 4:
For example, the Wand (Staff/Cane/etc....) of Annilihation can be used to
remove almost any enemy from your path.
