F. ...such as yourself or your spell book. How do I open the heavy wooden door in the Hallway? A. Try typing OPEN THE HEAVY WOODEN DOOR. How can I make the invisible tenets appear? A. The ZIKKLE spell might be useful. B. Except that there is no ZIKKLE spell. C. Nor are there invisible tenets. D. Remember the warning in the introduction: Do not let the presence or absence of questions, or the lengths of their answers, influence your play of the game. Can I talk to the parrot? A. Try it. B.

Where are the beds in everyone else's quarters? Many Enchanters prefer conjuring up their beds only during sleeping periods. This reduces clutter in one's chamber. How does the GASPAR spell work? A. You should cast it on yourself. B. Preferably after GNUSTOing it first. C. That way, you will be resurrected if you are "killed." D. You are (almost always) resurrected to the location where you cast the spell on yourself. Where are the boiled chives? A. According to the cook, boiled chives are Frobar's favorite dish. B. And he usually eats them late at night. C. If you could conjure up Frobar's bed, there might be some boiled chives sitting on it. D. What a silly question this is! Where is Frobar? Ask SORCERER. Where is Helistar? Ask SORCERER. Where is Belboz? Aye, now there's the rub. Where are the servants? Out doing their daily chores, no doubt. Where are the apprentices? They've accompanied Frobar into town. Can I leave the Guild Hall? A. According to Guild policy, the Guild Hall should never be left unattended. B. And you are the only one in the Hall at the moment.

There is a spell that will allow you to leave. H. Refer to the question about the AIMFIZ spell. Where can I find food and water? A. You've probably slept through breakfast, and dinner is a long way off. B. There aren't any provisions around the Guild Hall. C. Magic might come in handy here. D. Go to the Store Room. F. [sic] Read the ochre vial. G. Open it and drink the berzio potion. H. The effects of this potion will last for several days; this should be long enough for you to finish the game. Is the ochre vial useful? A. Read it. B. See the previous question. Why has the calendar been FROTZed? A. Why does anyone FROTZ something? B. Perhaps one of the other Enchanters was using it for a light source yesterday. Is the depleted matchbook useful? A. Yes. Read it. B. The vilstu potion sounds as if it might come in handy. C. So, send in the matchbook! D. PUT THE MATCHBOOK IN THE RECEPTACLE in the Lobby. E. But you have to do it before the mailman arrives, or the vilstu potion won't arrive until the next day. Is the encyclopedia useful? A. Indirectly. It contains many, many interesting entries. B. Some entries contain clues about events in the game. C. Try typing READ ABOUT something or LOOK UP something. How can I get into the Guild Hall attic? There is no Guild Hall attic. How can I open the window in the Attic? A. The REZROV spell will open the window. B. But then the giant roof owl will swoop in and eat you. C. And you can't cast the IGNATZ spell on the owl until you've counted the rutabagas on the ledge outside the window. D. There is no attic, window, owl, or pile of rutabagas. E. Remember the warning in the introduction: Do not let the presence or absence of questions, or the lengths of their answers, influence your play of the game. How can I get into the Guild Hall cellar?

Then press the colored buttons in sequence corresponding to the colors listed for that animal. G. For example, if the current code were DRYAD, you would press the black button, then the gray button, then the white button, then the red button, and finally the red button again. What is the AIMFIZ spell for? How does it work? A. If you CAST AIMFIZ ON FLOYD (for example), you should be transported to Floyd's location. B. Is anyone missing or perhaps in trouble? C. Try casting it on Belboz. D. Since Belboz is quite distant (as you can tell by examining the amulet while still in the Guild Hall), and possibly protected by magical spells, AIMFIZ does't transport you to his exact location. However, it does take you to his vicinity (look at the amulet after AIMFIZing). Is there any significance to the doorbell ringing? A. Yes. Something else happens at the same time. B. Where is the front door of the Guild Hall? C. Wait in the Lobby around the time that the doorbell rings. D. It's a member of the Messengers Guild making his daily delivery (and pick-up...?). E. You have to put the matchbook in the receptacle before he comes, or you'll never get the vilstu potion. The Forest-River-Castle Area **************************** Why does this area seem so familiar? A. You "visited" this area in your dream. B. It must have been a flash of clairvoyance. How can I avoid the hellhound? A. Go northeast. B.

A. There doesn't appear to be a way. B. Even flying over it doesn't work. C. Of course, appearances can be deceiving. D. But not in this case. How can I avoid the locusts?

You can always pass over the drawbridge safely if you're flying. How can I enter the moat? A. Just type DOWN from the Drawbridge. B. Or say ENTER THE MOAT. C. There is no way to enter the moat and live. D. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | | | | | >>This space intentionally left blank.<< | | | | | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ How can I survive in the Turret? A. Pretty easily. Just don't jump. B. Nice view from the Turret, eh? How do I enter the West Wing of the ruined castle? Play Planetfall(tm) instead of Sorcerer. What is the significance of the indigo vial? A. Read the vial. B. Drink the potion. C. That's about it. What is the significance of the skeleton in the Torture Chamber? What skeleton? How can I survive at the River Bank? A. You're safe for a couple of turns. B. After that, there's always a danger of collapse. C. Except if you're flying. D. Or if the river has been PULVERed.

CAST THE PULVER SPELL ON THE RIVER. How can I inflate the raft? A. With the hand-held air pump. B. It's located on the north shore of the reservoir. C. The north shore of the reservoir is in Zork(R) I, as are the inflatable raft and the hand-held air pump. Help! I keep getting smashed by a wall of water! A.

How can I cross the stagnant pool? A. You can't. B. Really! What is the amber potion for? A. Read the label on the amber vial. B. Try ingesting the potion. C. The blort potion allows you to see in dark places, even if you don't have a light source. D. Unfortunately, grues are afraid of light, not of being seen. E. So the blort potion is pretty useless in Sorcerer. Fort Griffspotter ***************** Where is the fort? Walk southeast from the River Bank. Where should I dig to find the cannonball? A. What cannonball? B. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | >>This space intentionally left blank.<< | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ How can I climb the flag pole?

Such as the bat guano in the Hidden Cave near the river. J. PUT THE BAT GUANO IN THE CANNON. How can I fire the cannon? A. You'll have to find the buried cannonball, first. B. But there is no buried cannonball. Can I catch the objects that sprout feet? A. Don't go on until you've found the ordinary scroll. B. You can only catch the scrolls that sprout feet if you have the QUELBO spell. C. In other words, no. The Crater-Toll Gate Area ************************* What caused the Crater? A. It's difficult to say for certain. B. Perhaps an ancient battle between two powerful wizards? C. Perhaps a cannonball? D. Perhaps not. Is there any significance to the moss and lichens in the Slimy Room? A. Lichens are usually an indication of moisture. B. Some species of moss are phosphorescent. C. However, these moss and lichens are completely insignificant. Can I cross the chasm to the west of the Crater? A. You can JUMP ACROSS THE CHASM. This will work 20% of the time. B. A safer way is to cross the chasm while flying. C. Cast the IZYUK spell on yourself, and then go WEST. How can I climb the zorkmid tree? You can't. Can I pick the zorkmid coins from the zorkmid tree?

Then CAST THE MALYON SPELL ON THE DRAGON. How can I make the invisible carvings appear? A. The ZIKKLE spell works well on the invisible tenets in the Guild Hall...

Probably one of the Construction Guilds. B. It seems to be a relic of the Great Underground Empire. C. It was probably built during the reign of King Duncanthrax or one of the Flatheads. How can I get past the Toll Gate? A. Have you tried typing OPEN THE GATE? B. Have you tried REZROVing the gate? C. Have you tried typing GNOME, OPEN THE GATE? D. Of course, you'll have to wake the gnome before you can talk to him. E. He won't open the gate until you give him a zorkmid. F. You can get one from beyond the chasm, near the Crater. G.

Have you seen any floors that need waxing? D. Don't go on until you've been to the Dance Hall. E. Since there's no Dance Hall, you're obviously ignoring directions. F.

The Glass Maze Area ******************* Is there any significance to the statue? A. Read the inscription. B. It's a statue of Duncanthrax. C. In addition to being a King of Quendor, he built the Glass Maze. Can I make a map of the maze? Yes. How big is the maze? A. It has 27 rooms. B. They are arranged in a 3 by 3 by 3 array.

Unfortunately, IZYUK doesn't last long enough to get you through the maze, even if you keep learning it and re-casting it. D. There is another flying spell. E. Try the FWEEP spell found in the Hidden Cave near the river. F. It also has the beneficial side-effect of sonar-like sensing. Is there anything beyond the maze? A. Yes. B. Make a map of the maze. C.

The only way back is through the glass maze. B. You'll need the FWEEP spell to get back through it. C. So you'd better memorize it more than once before you enter the maze from Outside the Glass Arch. D. In fact, once the maze has re-arranged itself, you'll need a total of three FWEEPs to make the round trip. E. There's a much easier and quicker way, although some players may find it inelegant. GASPAR yourself at Outside the Glass Arch. Then, get "killed" in the Hollow or the maze. How can I get the parchment scroll back from the Hollow? A. You can't carry it while FWEEPed. B.

It involves entering the maze. C. It involves flying. D. Enter a maze room without a floor, while flying. The dorn beast will pursue you, and plummet. E. Flying from the Hollow, go W.W.S.E. Is the brick structure of any significance? Yes. The Amusement Park ****************** How can I enter the park? A. You must first summon the park gnome by attempting to go west from the Park Entrance. B. He won't let you enter until you pay the admission price of one zorkmid. C. You can get a zorkmid coin from the area beyond the chasm near the Crater. D. If you already gave that coin to the toll gnome, you'll have to do a little thinking. E. What did the toll gnome do with the coin you gave him? F. SEARCH THE GNOME after he falls asleep again. What is the significance of the Haunted House? It's just an interesting place to visit. What is the significance of the Flume? A. Have you tried riding the Flume? B. To do so, just type GET IN THE LOG BOAT. C. Wasn't that a fun ride? D. There's nothing important about the Flume. What is the significance of the Roller Coaster? A. Have you tried riding the Roller Coaster? B. To do so, just type GET IN THE CAR. C. Wasn't that a fun ride? D.

How does the odd machine work? A. Pull the lever. B. It is a slot machine. C. If three identical symbols appear in the windows, you will get a payoff. This happens (on the average) one out of every sixteen tries. D. If the three matching symbols are pots of gold, you hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, this is fatal. This happens (on the average) one out of every sixty-four tries. E. Otherwise, the payoff is one zorkmid coin. This happens (on the average) three out of every sixty-four tries. If you paid off the park gnome before paying the toll gnome, this is the only way to get a coin for the toll. F. For a better way to pay both gnomes, read the first question in this section. The Coal Mine ************* How can I keep the ceiling from caving in? You can't. It will always cave in when you enter the mine. How can I breathe in the coal mine? A.

Who is the person who looks just like my twin? A. The person looks just like you, only more dishevelled. B. It is your own older self. C. There must be some time travel going on here. Should I give my spell book to my "twin"? It makes sense to trust your older self, since your interests are almost certainly mutual. After all, where would your older self be if you went and got yourself "killed"? Can I make a map of the coal mine? A. Yes, but you don't have much time until vilstu wears off. B. Dropping an object in each room of the coal mine will individualize it, and thus making a map of the area will be easier. C. There are only three rooms called Coal Mine, but sometimes a passage returns to the same room that it left from. Can I go down the coal chute at Top of Chute? Sure. DOWN or ENTER THE CHUTE will do it. What was that flash of orange light? A. VEZZA might be helpful here. B. There is a room off the middle of the coal chute. C. You can get to it if you've found the timber in the coal mine. D. Tie the rope to the timber, drop the timber at Top of Chute, and then throw the rope down the chute. E. If you are tired, or holding anything, you will lose your grip on the rope. What is the purpose of the GOLMAC spell? A. READ it. B. Temporal travel means traveling in time. C. This is obviously how your older self was able to meet you earlier, in the Coal Bin Room. D. CAST GOLMAC ON ME, then go DOWN to the Coal Bin Room. What is the purpose of the kerosene lamp? A. It lights the Slanted Room. B. Something unusual happens when you GOLMAC in the Slanted Room. C. After casting GOLMAC on yourself, OPEN THE LAMP. D. The smelly scroll wasn't there when you arrived, because you yourself removed it the "last time through" the cycle. What happened to the objects I dropped into the coal chute at Top of Chute? When you drop objects into the upper coal chute, they land in the Coal Bin Room, where they get buried in the coal (except for a few large objects, such as the timber or the floor waxer). What should I do when I meet my younger self? A. What happened the last time this meeting occurred? B. If you gave your older self the spell book before, then your younger self should now give you the spell book. C. You'd better give your younger self the combination to the door in the Dial Room. D. Otherwise your younger self will never be able to get to the Slanted Room and find GOLMAC and become your older self... E. ...or more simply, you will cease to exist! How can I get my younger self to give me my spell book? A. Remember, _you_ were the younger self 20 or 30 turns ago. B. Your younger self will do whatever _you_ did when _you_ were the younger self. C. If you gave your spell book to your older self, then your younger self will give it to you. Aargh! This coal mine puzzle has me totally befuddled! Help! A. Don't go on until you're completely stumped by the coal mine. B. The entire goal of the coal mine puzzle is to obtain the smelly (VARDIK) scroll. C. Time is of the essence, since vilstu will eventually run out. D. One sequence that will work (starting from the Sooty Room): FROTZ ME. OPEN THE ORANGE VIAL. E. DRINK THE ORANGE POTION. Z.

TAKE SCROLL. D. YOUNGER SELF, THE COMBINATION IS (combination). D. The Lagoon Area *************** Why did some of my possessions vanish as I entered the lower chute? A. You changed time in such a way that it became impossible for you to have those possessions. B. For example, you never told your younger self the combination, thus you yourself could never have been told it by your older self, thus you couldn't have objects from beyond the dial door. Where are the objects I dropped into the lower chute in the Coal Bin Room? Objects that you drop into the lower chute end up at the bottom of the lagoon. Can I get back up the lower coal chute? No. Can I enter the lagoon? A. Try going east from the Lagoon Shore. B. "If you want to enter the lagoon, say so." C. Try ENTER THE LAGOON. Is there anything significant about the lagoon? A. Yes. B. Have you gone DOWN to the floor of the lagoon? C. Lovely clump of spenseweeds, eh? (It would be a shame if anything happened to them.) D. MEEF THE SPENSEWEEDS. How can I breathe underwater? A. You can survive only a few turns underwater. B. Naturally, the vilstu potion will allow you to stay underwater as long as it lasts. C. But if you've solved the coal mine problem, you've already used up the vilstu potion. D. Fortunately, you need to be underwater for only a few turns. E. And, you can always go up for air and dive back down. How can I take the wooden crate? A. It's pretty heavy. B. You'll probably have to drop everything else before you try to move it. C.

In other words, there's no way. How can I enter the cave with the vines? A. The vines are deadly. B. Fortunately, they are susceptible to magic. C. Try the MEEF spell. Omigosh! A pack of grues! What should I do? A. Light usually takes care of grues, but these are mutated. B. Have you found the Frobozz Magic Grue Protection Kit? C. It's on the Lagoon Floor. See the lagoon question. D. What you need is inside the crate. E. The lamp is useless, of course, because of the mutation. F. Either the grue suit or the repellent will suffice. G. SPRAY ME WITH REPELLENT or WEAR THE GRUE SUIT. (Warning: the repellent wears off after several turns!) How can I destroy the machinery in the Mammoth Cavern? A. Have you tried DESTROY THE MACHINERY? B. You can't destroy the machinery. C. Instead, you should destroy the machinery operator: Jeearr. Which door should I open? A. You could try all three... B. But a true Sorcerer in this situation probably wouldn't be able to SAVE and RESTORE. C. The VEZZA spell would be helpful here. D. Open the white wooden door. How can I get out of the Hall of Eternal Pain? A. You can't. B. Really. How can I get out of the Chamber of Living Death? A. You can't. B. Really. How can I rouse Belboz? A.

B. Don't continue until you've obtained the SWANZO spell. C. CAST SWANZO ON BELBOZ. D. Oops. Perhaps you'd better protect yourself first. E. Don't continue until you've obtained the VARDIK spell. F. CAST VARDIK ON ME then CAST SWANZO ON BELBOZ. Voila. How can I kill Belboz? A. Kill your friend and mentor??? B. The diamond-studded knife looks promising. C. Try KILL BELBOZ WITH THE KNIFE. D. Well, perhaps if you protected your own mind first... E. Don't continue until you've obtained the VARDIK spell. F. CAST VARDIK ON ME then KILL BELBOZ WITH THE KNIFE. G. Still not the optimum ending, right? H. You want to exorcise Belboz. General Questions ***************** Are potions liquids or powders? Yes. What is a nymph?

Where is it safe to sleep? A. The Guild Hall isn't safe until you've rescued Belboz. B. It's safe to sleep almost everywhere else. C. Some obvious exceptions: the river bed locations, inside the coal mine, Twisted Forest, Tree Branch, Snake Pit, Mine Field, Meadow, Drawbridge, River Bank, Hollow, Surface of Lagoon, Lagoon Floor, and Belboz's Hideout. D. You might want to try sleeping in those locations, just to see what happens...but do a SAVE first. Are the dreams meaningful? A. No, none of the dreams contains any useful information. B.

Why do I sometimes suddenly cease to exist? A. Don't continue unless you've used the GOLMAC spell. B. A time travel paradox is involved. C. One way to "poof" out of existence is to enter the lower chute after casting GOLMAC without informing your younger self of the combination. This sets up a paradox. D. Another way to "poof" is to cast GOLMAC on yourself a second time (the scroll re-appears on the ground of the Slanted Room when you GOLMAC). A second dose of this spell sends you too far back in time to meet your younger self, thus creating another paradox. E. Two other ways to "poof" are to leave the Slanted Room before casting GOLMAC, or to carry the shimmering scroll out of the Slanted Room. How were the spells and potions named? A. GNUSTO, FROTZ, REZROV, and IZYUK are taken from Enchanter. B. FWEEP is the sound that the deranged bat in Zork I makes. Perhaps it is repeating the last word it ever heard as a human. C. AIMFIZ is ZIFMIA backwards. ZIFMIA, in Enchanter, causes someone to be transported to YOUR location. D. GOLMAC is short for gold machine, the time travel device in Zork III. The gold machine was probably imbued with this spell. E. YOMIN is an anagram of the name of an actor who played a famous mind-prober on a sci-fi TV show. F. MALYON is a corruption of Pygmalion, a sculptor who (according to ancient Greek legend) brought his creation to life. G. FOOBLE is a potential reset code in Suspended(tm). H. YONK is a reference to the author's birthplace. I. Some others are the names of Infocom employees.
