The Mazes
(Click or tap on any clue to reveal the clue.)
The Bogs
How can I walk through the Bogs?
- Everyone's Bogs maze is different. You'll have to map your own path.
- Sticks are good for testing the strength of bog mud.
- The Witch's stick is exactly what you need.
- Witch Itah won't give you her stick unless you give her something from her ex-boyfriend.
- Ben has a letter for Witch Itah. You'll have to convince him to give you the letter by appealing to his soft spot.
- Open the letter, pay the price.
- Show Ben a picture of almost any woman and he'll give you a letter for Witch Itah. Rent a boat from Ben and give the unopened letter to Witch Itah. Poke the stick into the ground ahead of you to determine if you can walk forward or not. If the stick sinks into the mud, don't walk forward. Once you've mapped this maze, it won't change.
The Whispering Woods
How can I see my way through?
- You really should get help navigating the Woods.
- If you stand in the Woods long enough, not only will you start hearing things, you'll end up like the Bowman.
- You must be going blind. Blind as a bat.
- What's good for the blind Bowman is good for the blind adventurer.
- Once you can see, it's best to rely on those who don't need to see.
- Ask around. Maybe someone can see why you can't.
- Fill the Thermozz with milk. Show Witch Itah a picture of the Woods or the Cow and she will give you the bats. Let the bats free in the woods and follow them. Take a drink of milk as you start to go blind. Three drinks of milk and you'll never suffer from blindness again.
The Forest of the Spirits
How can I cure the Bowman's condition?
- He's a refugee from the Whispering Woods.
- He obviously can't see his worthy opponent.
- He's blind as a bat and bull-headed to boot.
- His eyesight calls for great improvement.
- Naturally, a cure would get the Bowman in a perceptive mood.
- One animal can supply the healing solution that does a Bowman's body good.
- Fill the Thermozz with milk and give it to the Bowman.
How can I find the Fairy again?
- Like moths, this Fairy is attracted to light.
- You may have freed her, but she won't easily admit that she's grateful.
- You'll have do some sweet talking.
- Light a match in the dark forest clearing and keep talking to the Fairy until she thanks you by giving you some Fairy Dust.
How can I cash in on some more money?
- You can never get enough of those metal zorkmids.
- In this world, money does grow on trees.
- There's enough in that tree to shake a stick at.
- All trees need time to re-grow their fruit. Come back later.
- Use Witch Itah's stick or your sword to shake the metal leaves of the coin tree from time to time. Once in a while, a ferry token will fall out.
What about the Boar Memorial?
- Did you hear the one about the boar in the Forest of the Spirits? Guess you did ... bet it cracked you up.
- Didn't you read something about this in the Town Hall? Something about a pork chop?
- It's a pretty striking memorial, don't you think?
- The third time's the harm.
- It takes a truly great sword to get the job done.
- Guess you could say it has a slipped disc.
- Get the repaired Dwarven Sword, strike the memorial three times and take the disc piece out from the crack.
What do I do with the Pile of Leaves?
- Don't set them on fire or you 'll get burned!
- Don't walk over them or they'll turn your life upside down forever.
- Do throw something important onto the leaves.
- Now that you've sacrificed a prized possession, you would do well to get it back.
- Throw any object onto the Pile of Leaves, and then use any sharp tool to cut the object down from the sprung trap.
What is up with the Tree Spirit?
- Have you listened closely to what she has to say?
- Review her songs in Ms. Peepers's book.
- Aside from advice, you will gain nothing more from her.
How can I get past the Spider?
- She makes you very, very afraid.
- It doesn't matter that she can't make a web - she's guarding this one.
- She may not be beautiful, but she's very photogenic. Just ask anybody.
- For a spider, she's very superstitious.
- This web business is a real pain in the neck!
- Get the Fear Necklace and show it to her. Then use your knife or sword to cut the web down.
The Dwarven Mines
How can I get through the Dwarven Mines?
- It's not worth guessing ... you need to have a general idea of where you're headed.
- If the answer were left right in front of you, you'd still go straight past it.
- Show the Dwarven Leader the Blessed and True Dwarven Sword of Zork; right now, there's not much left in the world to impress him.
- When you show the Dwarven Leader the True Sword, he and the general discuss how much illumynite they have left. Each instance of the word left, right, and straight should be taken as directions through the mines.
- According to the leader and the general, the directions to successfully navigate the mines are: LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT, RIGHT, LEFT, LEFT, RIGHT, STRAIGHT.
