Steve's Hints and Tips

                    From Steve McLaren

Gateway 1

To get the magazine from the receptionist, be a bit romantic with
a rose. The receptionist will give you the correct Dataman. Check
it out.

To get your Blue Badge, go to Room T20 on Tanya Level and wait
around for Hector.

When you get to the Blue Hell Bar, wait around until Thom arrives.
He has some good info, and be polite, buy him a drink. Then Thom
will go and find a Gateway legend, wait around until Nubar
arrives. He expects a drink. Buy him one. He talks of Gateway,
then he will offer you his medallion only if you beat him at a
Trivia Game.

Dragonsphere

When you are visiting Slathan Ni Patan by the pool, you encounter
a strange creature. To pass this creature, throw shieldstone at
pool, this entraps the creature and you will see some tentacles.
Look at tentacles, then take tentacles.

Follow path until you see the Wise Shifter, listen very carefully
when he talks about the race of Soptus Ecliptus. The Wise Shifter
will give you a Polystone.

At Hightower, after you have walked through the shield which
entraps the Tower, you see a stranger behind a rock. Talk to
stranger. After a while you will receive an amulet from Llanie.

Eric the Unready

In the Enchanted Forest, to get past the tree with all those
roots, what is best to give? Yes, a nice root beer.

To get into the house, go to Fran's. Since you cannot buy anything
yet, just leave and he will give you a pickaxe. So now you can
remove the boards in the house.

How do you get money? Just wait until a family of dwarves pass by.
The father will give you a 20 Zorkmid piece so now you can go and
buy the starter rock.

To get past the ferocious turtles, just pour Tort-ese over turtles
and then enter the Keep to play the game for the Crescent Wrench
of Armageddon.
