dungeon - D. Newton

Speccy game. I am stuck. Has anyone played this? I can help at the trapdoor location, but not much more. Challenging re what to do, but at least it's logically consistent ( to this point).

P.S. Just a few more to go in my "unfinished" stack. Then we can all start together... or play your unfinished games"....

You atart at a grassy mound, where you need to find a spade to dig.
At the oasis you see a tree, need to climb tree, feel hole, and then need to go further to find the cavern with the flame. Then there is the maze. Very tricky. Try digging in every location. I have found two "entances" where you can also find a shortcut to get you back to the main area. There may be more.

The intro says you need to explore the caves and the forest. The latter I cannot get to.

I like this game. It's a touch devious, as well as difficult.
I have left out a few additional steps, but you can probably find them on your own.

Terri - Have found a solution I did in June '89...

You need the sponge and dagger in the random maze.
Polish the mirror with the sponge.

say the words at the scratches at the giant.

Have the mirror at the basilisk.
move some dust.
say sirloin ??

enter flames.

If you need a full solution I can send.

June 1989, you say? You're as good as Dorothy....


Yup, I realize I need a sponge, but I can't find it. So I have not yet got to the other places and people, except I did enter the flames.

I'm not sure if anyone else wants to play this. If yes, we can chat in the forum. If there are no takers, and it's just me, then let's not clutter up the site and we'll do it privately. Sound OK?

Fine by me lets wait to see if there are more players.

The sponge is found in the room of souls - west from the flame of riches.

Aahh, the flame of riches. And pray tell where can I find that? I only have so far found one flame room - the one where you give the necklace and find the slime.

Is the slime to the east of the flame of riches? The snails? If so you need to fill the bucket with water at the oasis. Throw water. There appears to be a bug here you may find you have 2 buckets just drop them, I have not used a bucket of slime in my solution.

FILL BUCKET at the oasis does not work. It also doesn't work when you are in the pool. Once you get the mirror, you can't go back down. So I went back to a previous game, and I still could not fill bucket.

Is there another verb I should be using?

I've replayed this game this afternoon - FILL BUCKET at the oasis doeas in fact work.

I think it must be something to do with maybe collecting the slime - DO NOT GET THE SLIME.

Even if you have tried to empty the bucket. Then trying to get the water confuses the game.

So just go to the oasis via the hall of pillars - pull the lever to return to the oasis.

You can only enter flame and go down if you 'feel a vibration'

OK. I'll try it. I was all set to ask you for the complete solution, but maybe I'll wait.

Apparently I need to find an iron key? Where is it? Will this unlock the cupboard?

At the Frost Giant, I cannot say the words. Any specific vocabulary I can use? Quotation marks don't help.

2 keys available - one in the hole in the tree - feel hole - and the other in the valley/plain area near the start you need to dig here.

You must carry the wand and say xl5 at the giant - no inverted commas.

Keep going with this game it is a good game.
