HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO ALL WHO STRUGGLE IN THEIR RETURN TO ZORK. ABADOO. Page 17: GENERAL TIPS AND HINTS: Mirrors reflect spells. Maximum illumination from Illumynite can be obtained by placing near radio speakers. The prototype Tele-orb can receive but it cannot send. With the puzzle all but 1 piece is visible until the correct arrangement of words is achieved. The dwarven sword needs to be blessed by the Holy Women of Bel Naire Temple. The object of the survivor game is to occupy the last remaining square on the board. Talons make good boomerangs. The cow only eats carrots. Milk is good for eyesight. The Tele-orb can be some kind of a lens. Blacksmith with broken sword---use "suspicious" The Troll leader---use "threaten" SHOW the coin for the ferry ride. Rooper turned Canuk into a duck. Magnets attract illumynite. Use flying disc of Frobozz to crack wall of illusion. All the disc pieces are hidden. The rats are in the boat the next time you go to use it. You need to be invisible to get passed to orc. You cannot hurt him but the Alexis tape will scare him off. Troll cavern: 1. Sword left 2. Sword up 3. Sword down Threaten the leader for the necklace. Combo to safe in the ship is in the top sail. You need to DIG UP the bonding plant with the knife. Key for the gift shop is behind the Old Mill. Use the crank on the bell at the school.
