Zork Nemesis - Part 2

                 Solution by Alex van Kaam

@~Continued from Issue 44

Once this is over go to the right corner of the room, in the floor
is a grating, push it 2 times open so you can get the scroll,
again make notes, to the left of the scroll you see the text 'push
on the glyphs' to the right you see the symbols that correspond
with the text, make careful notes of this.

Leave this area and go through the door back into the hallway,
turn right and walk into this hallway, turn right then left and
you're in the monks' library, examine all the books you can,
notice the name plates.

You will read the story of Yoruk and find a book belonging to
Bishop Francois Malveaux, when you read it you see Bishop Francois
Malveaux, Alexandria and Lucien in this room, it must be the
marriage Alexandria wanted, but just before it is started General
Thaddeus Kaine comes in with 2 soldiers and takes Lucien with him.

In the back of the library is a door, enter it and you will enter
a second level in a room, it has 4 doors, the door you entered and
3 closed doors, in the middle of this area you see a stone table
with a dial and the symbols you saw on the scroll. When you
approach this table you will pass a locked gate, this gate can be
opened by use of the table and its dial, spell the word 'open'
using the dial and the notes you made when you read the scroll,
once spelled the gate is open and you can go down the stairs.

You now in a little museum, there are 2 things you can get, the
ruby that was part of Yoruk's shield and the torch of endless fire
(remember, right clicking will make you go through your
inventory), when you want to leave with these items they will be
taken away from you, so you must turn off the alarm system.

Go to the silver/iron bowl in the middle and open it, push the
front left button to turn off the alarm system, now turn around
and open the wooden hatch in the floor, go down and you are in the
catacombs of the monastery, listen to both the mummies and go down
and turn right, don't go left into the lava section yet, go down
the stairs and turn right again, light your torch with the torch
on the wall and go into the black area. Hang your torch on the
wall and look at the stone coffin, wipe the golden plate clean and
you will see that this is Yoruk's tomb, open it and get in, close
it and you will see his magical shield, put your ruby into the
shield and get the shield, open the tomb and leave this area, now
go into the lava area, when you're faced with the flames, use the
shield on them and continue, you will now come upon 5 skulls.

Turn the skulls like you noted from the book: south, west,
south/east, south/west, east, a door will open behind you, go
through it.

You are now in some kind of workshop/laboratory, first turn left
and get the key and the piece of lead, next go to the cylinder to
your right, open the little hatch, insert the key and turn it, now
open the cylinder using the lever, put the lead in and close the
cylinder, the lead will now become a ball, take the ball of lead
and put it in the basket/machine that is on the other side of the
room, lower the basket in the hot water and take the lead out, it
is now clean, next go to the other side of the room and to the
lion's head with the burners under it, first open the valve behind
you, then set the burners to the color of the flames you saw in
Bishop Francois Malveaux room, from top to bottom:

blue, yellow, red, orange, white.

Now put the lead ball in the lion's head and it will be melted,
use the blower to cool it off and if you have done it right it
will be shaped like the alchemy symbol for Saturnax, take it and
you will be transported back to the temple of the ancients and the
round stone altar. Push the symbol in the altar, see the center
fill with blood, look into the blood and see the death of Bishop
Francois Malveaux.  Now go to his crypt and listen to him, you
find out that he sent for General Thaddeus Kaine when Alexandria
and Lucien wanted to get married .........  Go back to the
Planetarium and turn the lever until you have heard the bell 2
times and the green planet of Venusnv is to the right side and in
the light.

                      The Conservatory
    (Madame Sophia Hamilton - Venusnv - Water - Copper)

You start in the practice room, first go to the wall on the right
and look at the order of how the instruments should be placed in
the orchestra:
The Wertmezer - The Gederaglini - The Frobophone - The Popperkeg
The Violin    - The Nambino     - The Miano      - The Fleezle

Now go up onto the podium and look at the floor, you will find 8
instruments, 4 to the left and 4 to the right, if you use your
manual a bit you will soon fine out what is what, but just in case
here are they as they lie on the floor:

Left side:
          The Violin     The Fleezle
          The Popperkeg  The Nambino

The right side:
          The Gederaglini  The Wertmezer
                                     The Frobophone
                                                The Miano

place the Wertmezer in the left side on the left back chair
place the Gederaglini in the left side on the right back chair
place the Frobophone in the right side on the left back chair
place the Popperkeg in the right side on the right back chair
place the Violin in the left side on the left front chair
place the Nambino in the left side on the right front chair
place the Miano in the right side on the left front chair
place the Fleezle in the right side in the right front chair

When you have done it right you will hear a tuning session of the
band, listen to Madame Sophia Hamilton telling Alexandria to get
the keys right, C D E B G.  Now leave the practice through the
door and you come into the entrance area of the Conservatory, keep
walking until you reach the wall, to your right is a ticket office
and to the left is the office of Madame Sophia Hamilton, enter it,
walk to the table on the right wall, open the little box and get
the tuning fork, get the 2 records in the record box right of the
box with the tuning fork, read the book on the left wall and go to
the desk, open the drawers and read all the letters from Bishop
Francois Malveaux, Dr. Erasmus Sartorius and General Thaddeus
Kaine to Madame Sophia Hamilton, also notice the bill for the
black oil lamp, now examine the lamp on the desk and you will see
that the key is still missing.

Go to the piano, put the tuning fork in the wooden holder and let
it ring its tone, now find that same tone on the piano, it's the
G, the 16 full white key from the right. When you press it the
first time you will notice that you hear a 'tumb', walk around the
piano and look into it, you will find the key of the lamp, take
it, and go back to the desk, put the key in the lamp and turn the
lamp on to see the following writing on the desk:

Prepare the boiling solution
Feed with crystal
Purify crystal
Ring notes together

Go back to the practice room and wind up the record player, put in
the 1st record, the one with Alexandria, listen near the end to
the 'Zorkian Fanfare', write down the instruments or the sound
they make, use the 2nd record to make sure you have the right
instruments:

The Popperkeg
The Nambino
The Popperkeg
The Wertmezer
The Violin

Go back to the entrance hall and notice the poster board with the
torn poster of Alexandria, now try the northern door, the woman
who opens it knows of no concert, if you keep trying she will just
lock the door.

The door to the boiler room is closed, so go up the stairs to the
2nd floor.  Once on the second floor, turn right and enter the 1st
door on the right, this is the sleeping room of the girls, go
right to Alexandria's bed and open the poster book on the bed, get
the same poster out of the book as you saw on the poster board in
the hall, next read the 2 books on the table and learn about the 5
notes.  Open the music box on the little table and see how
Alexandria wanted to give Lucian her locket, but how Madame Sophia
Hamilton dropped it through the stage floor in to the basement.

Look into the mirror and see how Madame Sophia Hamilton wanted to
keep Alexandria at the Conservatory.  Leave the girls' room and
turn right again and enter Madame Sophia Hamilton's private room,
explore it completely, read the book on the couch, read the notes
on the dressing table and look in the bath tub behind the screen
so find out that Madame Sophia Hamilton and General Thaddeus Kaine
had an affair.

Go down the stairs back to the entrance of the Conservatory, place
the poster on the poster board and suddenly you will hear people
coming in and getting ready for the concert, go to the ticket
booth and get the ticket, go to the door where the lady was who
said there was no concert and open the door using the ticket, she
will take your ticket and leave, enter into the concert hall.

Go up the stairs, turn right and you will see a rope, turn again
and take the next stairs up, now find room C, sit down and use the
monocular to view the concert, once it is over, go down into the
concert hall and walk straight on until you find the place of the
conductor, get the little stick and play the Zorkian Fanfare to
end the concert:

turn to the right side and point at the Popperkeg section in the
back to the right
turn to the left side and point at the Nambino section in the
front right
turn to the right side and point at the Popperkeg section in the
back to the right
turn to the left side and point at the Wertmezer section in the
back to the left
turn to the left side and point at the Violin section in the front
to the left

Once the Zorkian Fanfare is played the light will go on and you
can walk through the door to reach the back of the stage.

First turn to the left and find the note on the box from
Alexandria where she tells Lucien that she saw and heard Madame
Sophia Hamilton in a secret lab boiling gems.

Now take a look at the big background screen that is hanging
there, see the hole in it to the right, but you can get through
since there is another screen hanging behind it.  Go to the little
control book and first take a good look through the map book that
is there, remember where the hole was in the 1st background screen
and notice where there are doors in other background screens at
the same spot.

Turn on the machine using the red button, there are 6 screens you
can raise (you can raise the 1st screen) but the machine will only
have the power to keep 4 up, so you must raise those 4 screens
that don't have a door on the same spot as the hole is in the 1st
screen so from left to right, press the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th
buttons to raise these screens.

Go through the hole, and down the stairs, you now in some kind of
store room, get into the swan, raise it with the lever and jump
out of it into the drum, it will crack open and you will fall into
the boiler room.

Now remember the vision you saw in Alexandria's room, get the
locket, but as you touch it, it drops into the water, jump after
it into the water, be quick, look at the floor, get the locket and
swim back up again.  You're back in the boiler room, now it is time
to remember what you read on Madame Sophia Hamilton's desk:

"Prepare the boiling solution" was the first line we saw on the
desk of Madame Sophia Hamilton, to do this turn the second lever
on the wall, but as you see it won't stay down, use the locket
from Alexandria to keep it down.

Now jump back into the water and go to the door, you will appear
in the Crystal cave, this cave is very difficult.

"Feed with crystal" is the second line we read on the desk of
Madame Sophia Hamilton, find the little green cave in the wall and
get the green crystal, drop the crystal in the boiling solution in
the middle of this cave and a huge black crystal will grow out of
it.

"Purify crystal" was the third line on the desk of Madame Sophia
Hamilton, go to the green fish-like crystal and touch it, it will
open up and give you a tablet, take the tablet and put it into the
boiling solution to purify the crystal, the black crystal will be
purified.

"Ring notes together" was the final line we saw on Madame Sophia
Hamilton desk, we also know that the sacred notes are C D E B and
G, now take a look at the map in the cave and you will see this:

                                         E
                                        O
                               D C     O


                                   B O

(B,C,D & E are crystals that represent a note)
(O are crystals that you don't need)

where O is a Crystal with no tone, now we have C D E and B but G
is not on it, G is the crystal you just made, so now you must be
quick and do it right.

Touch the C crystal and it will ring, next touch the D crystal and
that one will start to ring, remember they will only ring for a
limited time, so run to the other side of the cave and touch the E
crystal, once that is ringing quickly run to the B crystal and
touch that one, now go to the purified crystal and touch it, if
you have done it right the crystal will break and you will find
the copper symbol representing Venusnv, touch the symbol and you
will be transported to the temple of the ancients with the round
stone altar. Push the copper symbol in the altar and again the
center will fill up with blood, look into that to see how Madame
Sophia Hamilton was killed by the Nemesis and then go to her
crypt, listen to her story, a bit the same as Bishop Francois
Malveaux's story, about how they are sorry and all that, once she
is done go back to the planetarium and turn the worlds clockwise
till you hear have heard 3 bells and the red planet of Murz is to
the right in the light of the sun, you will now be transported to:
