SOLUTION TO WOODRUFF AND THE SCHNIBBLE OF AZIMUTH

By Lynda Connett and  Ben Thornton for Cheet Sheets Magazine.


Because the game is so long, only the basic actions necessary to
finish the game are in this solution.  Before and during the game,
read and refer to the manual and glossary which is full of useful
information to help you understand the strange world of Woodruff.
There's also a hint sheet of sorts included in the box but the clues
can be pretty obscure and aren't sufficient.  It's useful to save a
game before you talk to anyone at length, as not all things any
character says are repeated.  You can wander round and mess about
and talk to other characters to your heart's delight and the game
does allow you to finish it without doing everything you could, so
this solution perhaps is only one of several.  Anyway, here we go.


Pick up button.  Talk to Onlooker.  Go to Bridge of Slums, lift box
and get metal nut.  Talk to beggar, who makes you walk into acid
river and get fizzy feet.  Throw nut at beggar, who throws a boot at
you.  Get boot.  Go back to Azimuth house, throw your boot at the
boot on the roof, et voila! your barefoot days are over. One of the
boots contains half a photo of Azimuth.  Go back to Bridge of Slums
and cross river, pick up nut.  Go to Street of Sad Boozook, show
photo to young woman, she gives you newspaper article about Azimuth.

Go to Bridge of Slums and walk up behind mutant who jumps in river
and dissolves (not strictly necessary, just fun).  Go to Street of

Room digicode.  Play flipper game 3 times until you wreck the
