  36.                                         open the door. leave the rug alone
  37.                                         until you get out of the cellar. go
  38.                                         west into the kitchen. be sure to
  39.                                         take the dagger (see Lighthouse).
  40.  
  41.         Kitchen                         open the door. be sure you have

  47.                                         the lanter goes out, type the word in

  49.                                         throne room, "search debris". there's
  50.                                         a gold coin you can sell/trade to the
  51.                                         old woman.  squeeze any moss you find
  52.                                         (improves dexterity). then you can
  53.                                         climb the stacks. "LOOK AT AMULET
  54.                                         THROUGH BOTTLE".  if you have the
  55.                                         transport scroll and used it BEFORE
  56.                                         you entered the cellar, you can
  57.                                         escape that way. or wear the amulet
  58.                                         and say the word on the amulet. bash

  66.                                         dagger from Pub/Kitchen. If you haven't
  67.                                         done this, go NW and take the salt
  68.                                         from the brine.  Roll the onion in
  69.                                         the direction you want to go. put salt

  74.                                         the dorn beast attacks, then take
  75.                                         chest and run like h***. (Maybe this is
  76.                                         where I missed level 9. try using the
  77.                                         annihalation stick to destroy it).
  78.  
  79.         Arcadia                         wait for the monkey grinder.  wait
  80.                                         until the grinder deals with the
  81.                                         nymph who won't let you go north.
  82.                                         try to kill him (unlikely), or give
  83.                                         the chest to him (after you opened it
  84.                                         first). monkey grinders can't read!
  85.                                         a weapons shop is here as well.
  86.  
  87.         Mist                            if the vapor takes anything from you,
  88.                                         it will be in another location in the
  89.                                         mist area.  be sure to "wield the

  91.                                         if you don't already have it, get the

  93.                                         with the pterodactyl, either set dial
  94.                                         on the gurdy to ear and turn crank
  95.                                         right, or point annesthesia rod at
  96.                                         pterodactyl. take whistle,arrow. put
  97.                                         weed (see beginning) in wound. put
  98.                                         saddle on pterodactyl. only blow the
  99.                                         whistle when needed (you only get 3
  100.                                         opportunities). when you get on, fly.
  101.  
  102.         Private Way                     take horseshoe. kiss the unicorn's
  103.                                         horn (good luck). give the chest to
  104.                                         the unicorn. if you have the levi-
  105.                                         tation staff, you can float the saddle
  106.                                         out of the stall.  Or speak the word
  107.                                         on the amulet (it's clobbering time!).
  108.                                         an armour shop is here as well. you'll
  109.                                         need the horseshoe, by the way, for
  110.                                         later (see Underground).
  111.  
  112.         Gondola (cable car)             once inside, wait and listen to the
  113.                                         speaker. when you get to a support
  114.                                         towers, exit. then down.
  115.  
  116.         Town NW of Private Way          eat the cake you find on the street.
  117.                                         there is a magic shop here. this is
  118.                                         where most of your questions about
  119.                                         certain objects can be answered ("ask
  120.                                         woman about ...."). buy the rabbit's
  121.                                         foot (see Underground).
  122.  
  123.         Forest                          the puppet and hellhound are very hard
  124.                                         to kill. use something that is very
  125.                                         good for this (stick of annihalation
  126.                                         or the equivalent). at the boulder,
  127.                                         answer "youth". if you have the minx
  128.                                         (see Village), wait by an oak for the
  129.                                         minx to find the truffle, then put the
  130.                                         truffle in the pool. keep the truffle
  131.                                         in you pack until needed (see Ruins)
  132.                                         or the minx will get it.
  133.

  137.                                         gating spell to get across to the
  138.                                         ruins.

  143.                                         magic shop (after you give the jewel
  144.                                         from the Jungle to the woman).  go to
  145.                                         the arch, then enter. turn hourglass
  146.                                         over. go south twice and wait.  when
  147.                                         the prince is killed, put the truffle
  148.                                         in the trench. then turn the hourglass
  149.                                         and go north until you reach
  150.                                         desolation.  wait. let the minx do the
  151.                                         work for you. take/wear the

  154.  
  155.         Castle                          here is where the pterodactyl comes
  156.                                         in. fly to the castle (you may have

  158.                                         adjust the winds (see Plains). be sure
  159.                                         you are not on your third turn with

  173.                                         lantern, light it. squeeze the moss
  174.                                         (it can't hurt). either use the gating
  175.                                         or transportation spells, or point
  176.                                         the Eversion stick at idol to get out.
