The Roc will carry you to it's nest from any of the locations indicated on Map 7. If it doesn't strike at the point shown in the solution, then move towards the nest location until it does, then proceed as shown.

The boulders falling down the stairs always occurs when you have at least TWO MOVES to a place of safety (See Maps). If and when you're told that there is a sound of boulders from ABOVE, seek the NEAREST gulley and "WAIT" until it passes safely. You're then safe to proceed UPWARDS as the boulder rolls away BELOW you!

Finally, you have a limited number of moves in daylight, at the start. You must find a temporary light source BEFORE SUNSET to carry on and enable you to locate a more permanent light source. Following this solution EXACTLY will allow enough time to achieve this.

Before beginning this adventure it's important to understand the "teleport" system as this saves a lot of trudging about. There are a number of colored collars hidden throughout the game, and an equal number of pedestals with the corresponding colored light shining upon them, placed at strategic locations. The colors are on the scale of the color spectrum (i. e. Red, Orange, Yellow, etc, through to Gold and Mithril).

Take and wear a colored collar, then go to a pedestal location and go "UP". Say any color, up to and including the color of the collar that you're currently wearing, and you'll teleport to the corresponding colored pedestal.

To teleport to "higher" colored pedestals, you must be wearing the "higher" colored collar. Be careful when teleporting to the BLUE pedestal as this is located in the Wight's House and you must be carrying the cross and crucifix to force them away when you descend from the pedestal!

Head in, then in again. TAKE the CHANDELIER and the room will now invert. Go east and PRESS the BUTTON and a "copy" of your body scan has now been processed! Go out and up, then north four times, and TAKE ALL. The helmet will later provide your permanent source of light but it needs the Will o' the Wisp to function properly. Go south five times, then west twice, and TAKE the SEED. Note that the seeds from this pod are explosive! Go east three times, then north, and WAVE the SEED to cause some loud explosions, and also making you temporarily deaf. Go north and the Siren flees! You can now TAKE the MIRROR. The tree to the north is a killer willow tree, and has six deadly "arms". Therefore you must throw SIX objects over first to occupy the arms and render it safe! THROW the SEED, CRUCIFIX, and HELMET, which are all grabbed upwards by the tree.

Go south twice, then east twice, and a sleep spell will now hit you, but the mirror will reflect it! Go south and you'll frighten off a masked man. TAKE ALL and note that the dice are "loaded". This'll later prove useful. Now go north, west, north again, and up. The berry that you find here is really to drop on the Giants below, but as your inventory is currently full, you can drop the dice. The net effect is the same! DROP the DICE and the Giants run off. Go down, north, and TAKE the BELT, then wear it (WEAR BELT) so you can now carry more. TAKE the DICE. Go south twice, west, north twice, and THROW the DICE, COINS, and MIRROR. All the killer willow tree's arms are now occupied. Go north and TAKE the AXE. CHOP the TREE and the Dryad will beg you to spare the tree. Say "YES" and she'll give you a carving and makes the tree drop everything. TAKE ALL and WEAR the HELMET.

Go south twice and the Sun will now begin to hang low in the sky. Go south, west three times, South, west, and WAIT. The Leader of the Rakshasa wants to gamble. Say "YES" and as the dice are loaded, you win! Go east three times, then WAVE the SEED and the explosions scare off the bloated yellow bird. Go up and TAKE the EGG. Climb back down and go north, west, north, down, and DROP the SEED. TAKE the CASE and DRIFTWOOD. Go up and you'll note that the Sun is now setting, but you're soon to obtain a temporary light source. Go north three times and LIGHT the DRIFTWOOD. Note that the "Treasure Vault" to the East is a trap! DROP the CASE. Go in and then again in and TAKE the CHANDELIER. Go east and DROP the CARVING. DROP the COINS, EGG, MIRROR, and AXE. PRESS the BUTTON and go out. TAKE the CASE and go north twice, then west. SEARCH the CORPSE. WEAR ORANGE. TAKE ALL.

PRESS the BUTTON, and go out. TAKE the CASE, then go west twice, southwest, up twice, and WAVE the STAFF. The Skeletons leave and the Dwarf offers to locate a rich vein of ore for you as a reward. WAVE the WAND to see off the Flint. Throw her to the southeast and the Dwarf now follows you. WEAR GREEN and TAKE the CHAIR. Go northwest, then up, and KILL the DRAGON WITH the SWORD. TAKE ALL. DROP CASE. Go in twice and TAKE the CHANDELIER. Go east and DROP the BED, TEETH, CHAIR, STAFF, WAND, and FIGURINE. PRESS the BUTTON and go out. TAKE the CASE and go down and north, where you'll see the Vampire cowering from your crucifix. Go west and TAKE CROSS. Go east and THROW the CROSS and the Vampire will be killed. TAKE the CROSS and go east, out, west twice, and up twice. From now on if you hear a boulder approaching from ABOVE, proceed to the nearest gulley and "WAIT" until the boulder passes safely. You're now safe from the sound of boulders from below!

Go up three times and the Dwarf will now find a hidden opening in the rock. Go in and TAKE the ORE. DROP the CASE. Go in twice and TAKE the CHANDELIER. Go east and DROP the ORE. DROP the CROSS and the CRUCIFIX. PRESS the BUTTON, then go out. TAKE the CASE and go south. Remember to make for the nearest gulley when you hear the sound of boulders from above!

Go south three times, west, and TAKE the SPICES and MEDALLION. Go east, north, and down, and you're now visible again.

Go south twice and now you must shrink again and perform a little task, empty handedly! EAT the MUSHROOMS. Go up, north four times, west, and OPEN the DOOR. Forget about the chest for now.
