He has taken her to his castle, where she is imprisoned. You must destroy the wizard and rescue the princess from him." ACCEPTABLE VERBS: Get Take Drop Put Pay Pawn Give Pour Climb Go Enter Open Draw Reach Eat Rub Hit Break Smash Say Yell Build Fly Throw Light Tie HINTS: I. Starting Out What do I do with the lamp? - Remember the story of Aladdin? I can't afford anything in the marketplace. - Try pawning something valuable. What is the purpose of the turquoise rug? - If you put on the ground and sit on it ("GO RUG"), you might be able to command it ("SAY") to do something magical. II. The Island and Caves What am I supposed to do here? - You will eventually need to construct something which will allow you to escape the island. First, however, you will need to explore the caves. How do I get rid of the skeletons? - As with nearly all other enemies in game, you will need to DRAW your sword and KILL them, one at a time. How do I get the key in the "Sea of Deceipt"? - Did you find the bamboo pole and magnet yet? If so, this puzzle shouldn't TIE up much more of your time. How do I open the chest? - Wasn't there a key around here somewhere? I've got the booty, now what? - Didn't you find a place where you could spend all of it? How do I build the raft? - Have the axe? Then do your best imitation of a lumberjack. With that and the twine in hand, you should be able to BUILD it. Of course, you won't be able to launch the raft from the forest. Just make sure you have something to paddle with. I'm lost at sea... - Drop an object or two to plot your way through... (Sea monsters can be dispatched with a sharp blade, by the way) III. The Wizard's Domain and Endgame Help! I'm being chased by a Cyclops - Try to CLIMB your way to higher ground. Nowhere else to go? You will need to make your "second wish" here. A Banana? Is this a joke? - If you eat it and drop it on the ground, the Cyclops may find that it's a slippery slope all the way down... How do I deal with the tarantula? - The tarantula is, in fact, much like a groundhog on Groundhog's Day. Or, perhaps more like a "deer in the headlights". What is this invisible force protecting the princess? - Did you find anything yet that could shed some "dust" on the situation? I have the Princess. What do I do about the Roc? - Don't let it stampede your game, cowboy. How do I make the potion to return the princess to full stature? - As the book says, you will need to mix the milk with the powder. Is there any object in the game which might contain milk? With a large rock, it can be SMASHED. Remember, however, that you will need something to contain the milk. Make sure you do it in a dark place, however. Do you recall an area underground where the only source of light was a very small window? ***************************************************** Displayed on the Classic Adventures Solution Archive: http://solutionarchive.com
