Zodiac Castle Apple II
Posted: Sun Feb 04, 2024 2:47 pm
Still playing Zodiac Castle. Because solving the game not really concerns the other topic I decided to make a new topic. Unfortunetaly the game seems to be bugged (in the torture room) and therefore unplayable without cheating. I still would like to know how far I can get.
I managed to locate 27 of the 28 treasures but collecting the treasures is not the end of the game. There is a final puzzle to solve. The treasure I haven't found yet is a bag of silver coins.
The first problem I have is lowering the drawbridge. I see the following description:
“This room contains the drawbridge mechanism. The gears are well oiled but the teeth are jammed”
I should do something to get the following message, but I’ve no idea what the command should be:
“The gears grind and groan and finally break loose.”
"The gears are well oiled and free and the drawbridge is raised.”
Someone any idea how to do it? I don’t have many objects to use. I’ve a hammer but that one is needed in another puzzle but maybe it should be used here as well. I also have some dried bones which I haven't used yet.
