- It's also virtualy impossible to play this game without the manual.

- As you start up the game see the intro at least once and pay attention to the
- clues given. Or just watch the graphics and enjoy the sound.
-
-
- Well off to the game !!
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- The beginning:
- ==============
-
- IN THE CASTLE:
- --------------
-
- You'll find yourself inside camelot standing on a floor plan of the castle.
- You can walk around by using the cursor keys or the mouse.
- When you reach a certain room, a message window will appear. You can enter the
- room by pressing ENTER or just click the mouse.
- First go to merlin's room. It's the little tower room on the right.
- The big tower room beneath it is your treasury.
- Enter merlin's room.
- "LOOK AT ROOM", "LOOK AT OBJECTS", "LOOK AT WIZARD", "ASK ABOUT GAWAINE".
- "ASK ABOUT GALAHAD", "ASK ABOUT LAUNCELOT", "ASK ABOUT QUEEN".
- "TALK TO MERLIN", leave the room and go to the queens bower.
- "LOOK AT BOWER", "LOOK FLOWERS". Walk over to the rose, "GET ROSE".
- "ASK ABOUT THE MESSAGE OF THE ROSE", "TALK TO QUEEN" 4 times.
- "KISS GWENHYVER" as much as you like. But after a few times it gets boring.
- She's not into any major loving at this time.
- Well back to some serious adventuring again.
- "ASK ABOUT LAUNCELOT". Leave the room and go to your own room.
- It's to rooms to the left from the bower.
- "LOOK ROOM", "LOOK CLOTHES", "CHANGE CLOTHES", "GET PURSE". Leave the room and
- go back to merlin's room. "ASK ABOUT THE GRAIL", "LOOK AT MAP". Walk to the map
- and "STUDY MAP". Use the arrow keys or the mouse to move around the map. Study
- all the places on the map. Press <F6> to leave the map. Walk over to merlin's
- desk and "LOOK DESK", "LOOK AT SCROLL", "READ SCROLL", "GET SCROLL". Walk over
- to the table, "GET BEAKER", "GET FLASK". Merlin is a bit pissed off because you
- can't keep your hands to yourself. Just "APOLOGIZE" or restore your game. You
- did save your game didn't you. You didn't save it ?. So what's the point of
- writing a good advice at the beginning of all our solutions if you don't pay any
- attention to it. Well life sucks, once a janitor always a janitor ???. Oops
- wrong solution. Now walk to the chest and "OPEN CHEST", "GET LODESTONE". Leave
- this room and go to the treasury. Walk over to the man, "TALK MAN", "GIVE
- PURSE", "GET GOLD", "GET SILVER", "GET COPPER", "GET PURSE", "ASK ABOUT
- BUNDLES", "ASK ABOUT GAWAINE". Go back to merlin's room "TALK TO MERLIN". Go to
- the chapel of the two Gods. It's the tower in the lower left hand corner. Go to
- the left symbol. It's the symbols of the warrior god mithras. "KNEEL", "PRAY",
- "GIVE MONEY", give 1 gold piece. Look and listen to the vision that appears. ,
- "STAND", go to the right symbol. "KNEEL", "GIVE MONEY", give 1 gold piece. Look
- at the vision of the grail. "STAND", "LOOK FLAMES". This religious stuff is very
- expensive, don't you think. Go back to the treasury and let the man refill your
- purse. It's not neccesary but doesn't it feel great to be rich !. Now go back to
- merlin's room and "TALK TO MERLIN". Leave the room and go the the outer
- courtyard. Walk to the guard standing opposite of your horse, "TALK MAN", "ASK
- ABOUT GALAHAD". Go to the left of your horse and "MOUNT HORSE". Use the arrow
- keys to steer the horse out the castle and through the gate. The mule will
- follow you.
-
- GLASTONBURY TOR:
- ----------------
-
- Now travel to GLASTONBURY TOR. In the clearing there is a shrine of some sort.

- It doesn't matter is your mule runs of. You'll find him soon enough.

- So you have to solve some riddles, big deal !. Go WEST.
- Now you've reached the magic barrier of the mad monk. Just try walking through
- the stones. Walk up to one of the stones. "TALK STONE".
- Type in the word that solves the riddle. If you typed the correct word, the
- stone will start to glow. Do this with all the five stones. Then you can cross
- the barrier.
