                Solution by Diana Griffiths

@~Concluded from last issue

GOLUM Return to the Cross Roads and take the path up, on the
right, to the waterfall. Climb down the vines at the lower left of
the screen. Talk to the Golum. He will tell you he needs food for
a party. Give the Swamp stew to the Golum fisherman. You will sit
down to fish and eventually find the ring of invisibility.

BEEHIVE COTTAGE Return to the village. Go to the path outside the
Apothecary and go left to the Beehive Cottage. Have Repulser, the
pig, eat the Chocolate truffle door. Go into the cottage. Take the
smokebox and beekeeper's hat. Go outside.  Use the smokebox on the
beehive. Pick up the wax.

TAVERN Go to the tavern and ask the barman to fix you a drink.
While he is preoccupied put the wax on the nozzle of the barrel
behind the bar. The barman will think this barrel is empty and
leave it for you outside. He will also give you a free beer
voucher.  Pick up the barrel of beer when you leave.

DWARVES MINE Return to the Center of the Forest. Look at the rock
at the mine entrance. Pick it up and look at the rock again. It
says "beer". This is the password to get into the mine. Put on the
beard. Go into the mine. Try to go to the left. Bribe the guard
with the barrel of beer. Return up the steps and go to the left.
Talk to the dwarves. Find out how to get into the treasury
(through the golden door on the upper left). Take the hook. Return
to the steps to the right and go down to the beer room. Use the
feather on the sleeping guard to make him turn over. Take the key.
Return to the treasury door and open it with the key. Talk to the
dwarf. Bribe him with the beer voucher. He will give you a gem.

DODGY GEEZER Return to the village and visit the Dodgy Geezer.
Drive a hard bargain and sell the gem to him for 20 gold coins.


SHOPPE Return to the Shoppe. Buy the hammer and white spirit.
Leave. Outside the shop, open the box and get in.

GOBLIN'S FORTRESS Open the box you are hiding in. Look at the
boxes. Pick up the spellbook. Look at the spellbook and you will
find a loose piece of paper. Pick up the rat bone. Put the piece
of paper under the door. Use the rat bone on the lock. Pick up the
piece of paper. Use the key to unlock the door. Open the door and
leave. Pick up the bucket and go down the stairs. Talk to the
Druid. Remove the ring. Talk to the Druid again until he tells you
he needs to see a full moon. Put the bucket over the Druid's head.
Pick up the mints. Pick up the flaming brand and hold it over the
Druid's head. The Druid escapes as a frog. When you hear Goblin
guards approaching, open the iron maiden and hide in it. The frog
will return with a hacksaw. Open the iron maiden. Take the hacksaw
and use it on the bars. Leave.

DRAGON'S CAVE Return to the Dragon's Cave and use the hook to
climb up to the boulder above the cave entrance. Use the rope and
magnet on the hole (this is the skylight in the Dragon's Cave) and
you will collect some gold coins. Repeat this three times until
the magnet comes up empty.

TALKING TREE Climb down and return to the Talking Tree.  Clean up
the pink splotch with the white spirit. Talk to the tree.  The
tree will tell you four magic words.

TAVERN Return to the village. Visit the wizards in the tavern.
Talk to them. Hand over the staff and pay the fee to become a
wizard.  Ask the wizards about Sordid.

APOTHECARY Visit the Apothecary. The Druid is at home and he wants
you to find him some Frogsbane.

SKULL ISLAND Go to the Center of the Forest. Return to the
Swampling's hut. (Thank goodness the Swampling's not back yet!)
Move the box and open the trap door. Go through the trap door and
walk along the planks. Fix the loose plank with the hammer and
nail. Continue right to Skull Island. Pick the Frogsbane.

APOTHECARY Return to the village and visit the Apothecary.  Hand
over the Frogsbane and you will receive a mysterious potion
labeled "Drink Me".

WITCH'S COTTAGE Go to the witch's cottage. Open the door and go
in. Try to take her broom. You will get chucked out but enter the
cottage again. The witch will offer to play a game with you.
Accept. Use the magic word "Sausages" repeatedly until you win the
game. You may not win the first game, but keep returning to the
cottage and playing the game until you do. The witch will then
cheat and become a dragon. Escape by saying "Abracadabra" and
becoming a mouse. Run away through the mouse-hole near the rocking
chair. You now have the broom.

CLIMBING PINS Return to the Dragon's Cave and go to the climbing
pins. There is one missing but you have one in your inventory. Put
the spare climbing pin in the hole. Walk across the climbing pins.

SNOWMAN Eat the mints and the snowman will melt.

SORDID'S TOWER OUTSIDE Continue right to Sordid's Tower.  Use the
witch's broom to get across the chasm. Consume the "Drink Me"
potion. You will walk through a crack in the door. Your dog will
grab you and put you in the garden. Pick up the leaf. Pick up the
stone. Look in the bucket and take the matchstick. Go left to the
puddle. Pick up the lily-pad. Put the matchstick on the lily- pad
and the leaf on the match to make a sailing boat. Sail over to the
seeds. Take a seed. Return to shore. Crush the seed with the
stone. Attach the dog hair to the tap. Use the seed oil on the tap
and turn on the water by pulling the dog hair. Use your makeshift
sailing boat to get to the other side of the puddle. On leaving
the boat you are nearly swallowed by a frog! Look at the water and
pick up the tadpole. Threaten the frog and that you will harm the
tadpole unless the frog gets out of your way. When the frog leaves
look at the mushrooms. Pick the mushroom labeled "Eat Me" and eat
it.

GROUND-FLOOR AND BASEMENT Open the door and go inside. Terrified,
you run outside. Pick up the branch. Go inside again and put the
branch in the snapping chest's mouth. Pick up the shield and the
spear. Go downstairs to the torture chamber.  Pick up the chest.
Move the lever to open the press. Put the chest on the block and
move the lever so the chest is crushed. Move the lever again to
raise the press. Pick up the candles. Use the spear to fetch down
the skull hanging from the ceiling on the left.  Pick up the
skull.

BEDROOM AND LABORATORY Go upstairs, then upstairs again, to the
bedroom. Pick up the sock, the pouch and the magic wand. Pick up
and read the book. Now you know what to do with Sordid's wand.
Talk to the mirror. Put the sock in the pouch. Put the pouch in
the mouse-hole at the foot of the stairs. You will catch the
mouse. Go upstairs and talk to the demons. Keep talking until they
tell you they want to return to the pit. Pick up the book and read
it. You now know how to return these demons to their home. Talk to
the demons some more and find out more information if you can.
Pick up the chemical, the magical metal polish, and use it to
polish the shield. Place the shield on the hook. Go downstairs to
the bedroom. Talk to the mirror and ask to see the lab. You will
hear the demons' true names. Go upstairs and keep talking to the
demons until they give you the chalk so you can start the ritual
to send them back. When you have completed the ritual, get into
the teleporter, select the Fiery Pits of Rondor as your
destination.

THE FIERY PITS OF RONDOR Pick up the sapling and the pebble. Talk
to the attendant. He will give you some brochures.  Look at the
brochures and then use the elastic band on the sapling. Use the
catapult on the fire alarm. Pick up the souvenir matches from the
counter. Go right, across the bridge and pick up the floor wax. Go
right to Sordid. Use the wand on Sordid to turn him to stone. Now
light the pits with the matches. Throw the wand into the lava.
Uh-oh! Sordid tries to kill you. Return to the lava pits and deal
with Sordid. How? Use the floor wax so that he loses his footing .
... and falls into the lava! Congratulations! Enjoy the closing
sequences!
