===== How to Use This Guide =====
|
|
|
|
This guide walks you through the game giving you the solutions to the
|
|
puzzles. The first solutions given are the "best" solutions to the puzzles
|
|
and following them will gain you the maximum points available in the game.
|
|
However, there are alternative solutions to most of the puzzles.
|
|
Alternative solutions are marked with an asterisk (*). These alternative
|
|
solutions will allow you to complete the game but won't grant you the
|
|
maximum points available.
|
|
|
|
Some parts of the game are timed. The times that you have to deal with the
|
|
game are marked with a clock symbol (00:00).
|
|
|
|
The way that the game works is that it requires you to type in your
|
|
commands. The commands you must type are in quotations (") and in CAPS.
|
|
When you type the commands you should not include the quotations and
|
|
capitalization doesn't matter. In short, if I say "OPEN DOORS" you should
|
|
type: open doors with no punctuation.
|
|
|
|
When I say to move a certain number of screens I mean to go through that
|
|
number of screen changes. So if I say "move three screens left" count the
|
|
screen you're on as one screen, then the next as number two, and the next
|
|
one as number three. You'll change screens three times and be at your
|
|
destination.
|
|
|
|
There are many ways to die and get caught in dead ends. While I do not list
|
|
every way to die there are some locations you are very likely to die or get
|
|
caught in a dead end. The warnings are marked in brackets [].

===== Frequently Asked Questions =====
|
|
Q: You mention getting a spell from your Fairy Godmother but I followed your
|
|
walkthrough and never encountered this.
|
|
|
|
A: I decided to leave finding that up to you because you can only get the
|
|
spell once and it lasts for a short amount of time. The protection spell
|
|
can be obtained if you go one screen south of the Clover Patch, or one
|
|
screen left of the back of the Goat Pen, up from the lake to the right of
|
|
the castle, or to the right of the rightmost Carrot Patch. The spell lasts
|
|
for 4 minutes.
|
|
|
|
Q: Can you still die when you get the Magic Shield/Fairy Spell?
|
|
|
|
A: Yes. The Fairy spell won't save you from falls or water. It will also
|
|
always wear off before you reach the Rat and the Leprechauns. After you
|
|
obtain the Magic Shield fatal enemies won't appear in the field anymore but
|
|
you're just as vulnerable to the Witch if you enter her house and the
|
|
Dragon.
|
|
|
|
Q: Can you get the Treasures out of order?
|
|
|
|
A: Yes and no. In this version of the game you can get the Chest or Mirror
|
|
in any order you want but the Shield always comes last. The bird won't show
|
|
up if you don't have the other two Treasures in your inventory so you can't
|
|
get the Shield till last.
|
|
|
|
Q: Oh, no! That Dwarf stole one of my Magic Treasures! Can I get it back?
|
|
|
|
A: Unfortunately no. If the Dwarf has stolen your Magic Treasures you are
|
|
at a dead end. The game won't end but there's no way to win. If you have a
|
|
save file to restore before losing the Treasure, you're fine, if not… start
|
|
over.
|
|
|
|
Q: Uh, oh! I thought I was supposed to eat the Cheese! What can I do to
|
|
get rid of the Rat?
|
|
|
|
A: The Rat will take one of the three regular Treasures (Golden Egg/Golden
|
|
Walnut/Pouch of Diamonds) as payment but you lose points for it. As a basic
|
|
rule of thumb: don't eat in this game. This is not "Quest for Glory" and
|
|
your character doesn't need to eat regularly.
|
|
|
|
Q: So there's nothing that I can eat safely?
|
|
|
|
A: Well, you can eat the Stew and the Carrot at any time. You will lose
|
|
points for doing so but with these items you can eat them and get them back
|
|
for a restoration of the points. But don't eat the Cheese and whatever you
|
|
do don't eat the Magic Beans, you will get caught in a dead end. You will
|
|
also need to eat the Mushroom but in a very specific location.
|
|
|
|
Q: I, uh, ate the Magic Beans. What can I do?
|
|
|
|
A: Restore your game. If you eat the Magic Beans you can't go on.
|
|
|
|
Q: I ate the Mushroom and it shrank me but the effects wore off so quickly I
|
|
wasn't able to do anything! What am I supposed to do with it?
|
|
|
|
A: You do eat the Mushroom but in a specific location. It's the way you get
|
|
out of the Leprechaun's lair. If you eat it any other time you are in a
|
|
dead end and have to restore to a previous save file.
|
|
|
|
Q: Why are there some patches of forest that are all dark and brown?
|
|
|
|
A: These are the "Danger Zones" of the game. If you find yourself in a dark
|
|
patch of the forest it means that an enemy can show up.
|
|
|
|
Q: What purpose does the Ring serve?
|
|
|
|
A: It's a way to avoid certain dangers. It's useful when you are trying to
|
|
get away from the Dwarf, Ogre, Dragon, Witch (In the Field) and Giant. It
|
|
won't work to get past the Troll, the Witch if you're in her House, the
|
|
Sorcerer, the Wolf, the Rat, or the Leprechauns. You should also not get
|
|
too close to the Ogre when invisible or he will kill you anyway.
|
|
|
|
Q: I guessed IFNKOVHGROGHPRM for the Gnome's name and he didn't accept it!
|
|
What gives?
|
|
|
|
A: Roberta Williams received a lot of mail about the Gnome's name and
|
|
decided that it was too incomprehensible to think of using a backwards
|
|
alphabet to spell Rumplestiltskin, so in the remake she changed it to
|
|
spelling Rumplestiltskin backwards: NIKSTLITSELPMUR.
|
|
|
|
Q: Graham is supposed to be a Knight! Why can't he kill anyone?
|
|
|
|
A: He's supposed to be the kind, noble type and kind, noble people don't
|
|
kill unless absolutely necessary. Actually, you CAN kill but you usually
|
|
get less points for doing so. The one exception is the Witch. You can kill
|
|
her and even gain points for it.
|
|
|
|
Q: Your walkthrough didn't have me enter any screens with an enemy in them.
|
|
What can I do about them?
|
|
|
|
A: Except for the Witch, the only thing you can do is avoid them. If you
|
|
have the Fairy spell then there's no need to worry about any of them. The
|
|
sorcerer is a bit worse in this game than the original. Even with the
|
|
Shield or being invisible, the Sorcerer will freeze you for 30 seconds. The
|
|
Dwarf may show up and take advantage of this and take your Treasures or the
|
|
Ogre will come and kill you during this time. As for the Witch, you can
|
|
"DUCK" when she gets close to you but this is hard to do and if you just
|
|
duck when she first appears in the screen instead of when she's close to
|
|
you, she will catch you. The other enemies must be avoided. The best thing
|
|
to do is to walk near the edge of the screen and leave and come back if the
|
|
enemy shows up.
