ZORK NEMESIS

          By W.J. with help from Nic of West Wales

Completing the Monastery section and the full solution of the
Conservatory section from the SynTax help sheet.

@~The following amendment was sent by Bill Jenkins. He said part
@~of one scenario was missing from the SynTax solution and another
@~wasn't even mentioned.

Move away from the font and examine the glowing grid in the
corner, click on the centre of the grid twice, then click on the
portion of note found there. Make a note of the symbols, the
glyphs on the right correspond with the words on the left. You
need the glyph code for the word 'open'. Find the chapel - read
all the books. Go through the door at the far end of the chapel,
move to the dial at the centre of the walkway, click on each glyph
for the code word - you should hear a gate unlock. Turn round to

face the way you came, move forward once and turn left, and open
the gate.

In the museum, open the alarm control in the centre of the room,
press the left button to deactivate the alarm, now examine
everything in the museum, picking up the ruby and wall torch from
the displays. Move back to the control panel, turn round, move the
cursor until it changes to a down arrow to show a trapdoor in the
floor.  Click on the trapdoor to be automatically conveyed to the
dungeon.

Do not enter the fiery doorway yet, go down the steps and light
your torch from the one on the wall, the light will show another
door. Examine the plate on the coffin then open it, climb inside
and close the lid, place the ruby into the centre spot of the
shield, then pick up the shield then exit the coffin.

Go through the fiery doorway, move forward then as soon as
possible use the shield on the fire. Move forward and turn right,
to see 5 skulls. These must be turned to the correct positions.
The left skull is already in position, move the next skull to face
west, next southeast, next southwest, and the final skull east. A
secret panel will open behind you.

Enter the forge. Find and pick up the key and metal then read the
book. Open the wall panel and put your key into the clock, click
on the key to wind the device.  Use the lever to open the press,
insert the metal, pull the lever again to operate it and again to
open it, remove the ball of metal, take it to the far corner,
place it in the bucket, click on the sandbagged lever to lower the
bucket. This removes any impurities. You should now have a white
ball.

Now go to the machine with the lion's head above it, turn round
and turn the wheel to start the lava flow. Turn round and switch
the gas taps to the correct sequence, from top to bottom, blue,
yellow, red, orange and white. Place the metal ball into the
lion's mouth, it will melt down into the holder below. Click on
the bellows to cool it. Then click on the element to end this
phase.

The CONSERVATORY.

To access this part, highlight the green planet in the astronomy
room.

Part One

Enter the conservatory, turn right and move forward to the door.
Note the diagram on the wall to the right of the doorway - this is
the order in which the musical instruments are to be placed on the
chairs on the bandstand. Go through the door and turn left - note
the torn poster on the floor. Move to the far end of the hallway
and turn right. You are now facing the ticket booth - required
later.

Turn about and enter the room opposite the ticket booth, turn
right and go to the table to the right, pick up the tuning fork
from the trinket box. Point to the right of the same table,
examine the pile of records and pick up the last two. Move into
the front of the piano, point to the red box on the top left and
place the tuning fork into it, now touch the fork for the tone
then hit the 16th white key from the right of the keyboard, you
will hear the sound of something opening, look under the piano lid
to pick up a key.

Read the book on the stand, this highlights the four instruments
that play a fanfare later in the game.  Move to the front of the
writing desk, read the letters in the drawers, click on the
reading lamp and drop the key onto it, touch the lamp switch and
note the formula on the blotting pad. Leave the music room and go
upstairs to the bathroom, click on the curtains and the bath to
see another video. Read the letter on the dressing table and read
the book on the sofa. Enter the bedroom, turn right and move to
the end. Read the books on the bedside table. Examine the book on
the bed and take the last page. Look down to remove the floorboard
and find another letter to read. Now click on the music box handle
to wind it up then click on the box to watch a video which is a
vital clue for later.  Return to the practice room.

Part Two

Go to the record player, click on the handle to wind it up, place
one of the records on top of the turntable and click on the switch
to play it, do the same with the second record. Go to the
bandstand and place the instruments onto the chairs in the
following order, beginning with the front chairs, place the violin
onto the leftmost chair, the drum on the next chair, the harp like
instrument on the next chair, then the instrument shaped like a
saxophone onto the remaining front chair. Place the golden
instrument with two white ends on the leftmost rear chair, next
place the instrument with the purple centre onto the chair behind
the drum, the tuba like instrument on the next chair and finally
the popperkeg onto the last chair.

The orchestra will now tune up and a voice will be heard giving
instructions to a student, make note of what is said, C, D, E, B
and G. This is another vital clue for later in the game.


Part Three

Return to the hallway, place the page from the inventory onto the
torn poster, you will now hear the auditorium filled with people.
Pick up the ticket from the ticket booth then click on the
auditorium door, a lady will take your ticket, and will say it is
for box C, follow her then turn right, climb three flights of
stairs, find box C and examine the binoculars for a short video.
Go back downstairs to the front of the stage, pick up the baton
from the stand, you now have to conduct the four instruments to
play the fanfare. I am unable to guide you with this part as it is
completely dark, but the popperkeg is somewhere to the right of
the rostrum, the drum is just above the rostrum, the other two are
to the left of the rostrum. If you are unsure of the order of
play, simply play the record again in the practice room. When
successful the theatre lights will go on and access will be gained
to the stage area.

Go left and read the note on the packing case, Find the control
panel, click on the red button then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 6th
buttons, you have access to the rear stage, through the hole in
the curtain. Move forward and you go to the basement, go to the
right of the swan, click on the rope. Go back and go into the
swan, turn right and click on the handle, turn round and point
down to look onto the drum, click on the drum and you will be
transported to the boiler house. Look down to click onto the
locket, it falls into the water, follow it, look down, again, pick
it up, look up twice to the hole in the ceiling to return to the
boiler house, place the locket on the 2nd lever from the left.
Enter the water again, be quick, you can only exit through the
door with the clock above it.

Part Four

You are now on the final lap in this scenario. Click on the green
fish statue and pick up the tablet, find the blue/green mass on
the wall to find a crystal, place the crystal into the boiling
liquid nearby, then place the tablet onto the crystal to clear the
impurities. Examine and memorise the diagram on the wall then
click on the corresponding crystals, in the order C, D, E, B, (G
is the purified crystal, this will shatter), click on the element
to return to the cathedral.
