Bianco Mansion, The By Clive Gifford For Dragon 32 Solution by Garry Francis ---------------------------------------- This is a minimal solution, except that it doesn't use any of the illogical one-way exits. There is no EXAMINE, but you can LOOK or SEARCH each room for important clues. If you encounter a guard, KILL GUARD with ROPE or WIRECUTTERS (preferably) or SHOOT GUARD with gun. The latter alerts everyone unless you PUT SILENCER ON GUN. The silencer is found in the Contessa's room, but there's no reason to venture into that part of the mansion. Incidentally, forget about the money in the vault. Your mission is to find and steal the map. GO N GET TORCH (needed to LOOK/SEARCH and READ) LOOK (you need letter knife to open invisible door to west) GO E GO S GET KEY GO N GO W UNLOCK DOOR (with key) DROP KEY GO N READ LETTER (what you need is in the study) GO N GO E GO N GO W GO N GET KNIFE GO S GO E GO S GO E GO S GO S GO E DROP GUN (as you can only carry two items when you get stool) GET STOOL GO W GET WIRECUTTERS (you can get more items AFTER you've got the stool) GO N GO N GO W GO W GO S GO S PUT KNIFE IN LOCK (invisible door opens) GO W LOOK (map is on top shelf) CLIMB STOOL (you can reach map now) GET MAP (alarms sound) DROP STOOL GO E GO N GO N GO E GO N GO W GO N GO W GET GLOVES (don't wear them) GO E GO N GO N GO E CUT FENCE GO N ***THE END***
