The Citadel of Chaos By Puffin Book 1984 Solution by Mr Creosote http://www.goodolddays.net This is valid for the C64 version. Unfortunately, the game is rather buggy, rendering the original book solution impossible. There is still a way through, but it depends on luck a little more and it is rather unsatisfying in a couple of places. In case I'm mistaken and the intended solution of this computer game is just a *different* one, please let me know! I've looked through all sorts of shady corners of it already, however. Choose the following spells: Weakness (WKN) Shield (SHD) E.S.P. (ESP) Levitation (LEV) Creature Copy (COP) x3 (!) Make the following choices in this order (I've ommitted the ones with just a "continue" option): Pose as a herbalist Kylltrog Tiptoe through the shadows Approach the group around the fire Sit down with them (you learn the password "Scimitar") Press for information about the vial Draw sword and fight (win the fight, receive a useless shiny key, a jar of ointment and a stamina potion) Turn towards the Citadel Ignore the woman Make your anger obvious Knock three times Say password Scimitar Go forwards to the door Ring for the butler Take the left fork (believe him) Tiptoe into the room (in the book, you would now have to fight him to receive a crucial item; since he doesn't have it here, we bluff our way through) Apologize for the disturbance Say you're a guest Take the right-hand door Enter Read about secrets of the Black Tower (you learn that the lock combination is 217) Leave room Take the right-hand stairs (in the book, we would take the left door to grab the golden fleece, but since we never got the hairbrush...) Try the door in the centre Walk across to the far door Take the left-hand door Walk round to the other door Look for an artefact to use A jar of ointment (We'd love to use the golden fleece now, but alas, we have to do it the hard way) Use a spell COP Cast another spell COP Cast a spell COP Test your luck (if you fail, the game is over) Enter the combination (Although it was clearly 217 in the library, this will be rejected and you will lose the game) 444 Cast a spell SHD (You face Balthus Dire) Cast a spell WKN Cast a spell ESP Cast a spell LEV Over to the window Pull drapes down and throw them over his head
