- Pick up the book and read it. Get the key and head east. Take the bucket from
- the well and look in the well. Return to the first room and unlock the door
- with the iron key. Go south, picking up the knife, and taking the way west into
- a room with a wooden floor. Find your way around the barrels and collect the
- stick and gum. Try eating the gum. Use the chewed gum on the bucket to plug the
- hole. Leave this room and go south. Collect the small rock and continue south
- and then east to find a scroll. Take the scroll and read it. Keep heading east
- to find a door key. Pick it up and return west and then south to unlock the
- door which it fits. Exploring this new room, take the fish and cheese and note
- the empty drinking fountain. (The apple is not needed but can be eaten if you
- wish.) Now, go directly north to the big rock and use the scroll (Spelle of
- Levitation) on it. Use the knife on the cracked tile beneath to reveal a tap.
- Operate the tap and return south to find the drinking fountain now full. Fill
- the bucket and head north past the tap and then east to find a pair of pliers
- in a fire beside an anvil. Use the bucket of water on the fire and take the
- pliers. Drop the bucket and collect the string. Use the string on the stick to
- make a fishing pole and pick up the horseshoe before leaving to the west. Keep
- going west to return to the wooden floored room. Make your way through the
- barrels to find the broken floorboard. Remove the floorboard using the pliers.
- Drop the pliers and take the bronze key. Leave the room and head south past the
- tap and then east to a locked chest. Use the bronze key to open the chest and
- take the magnet. Use it on the fishing pole and take the silver coin from the
- chest too. Go north, west, north and then east to find yourself back at the
- well. Use the magnetic fishing pole to catch an iron key. Leave the fishing
- pole and get the key. Return to the chest you have just unlocked by going west,
- south and then east and unlock the door which is to the east. Go through the
- doorway and head east, south and east again to come face to face with an orc.
- Look at him. Now, head directly west to find a catapult. Load the catapult by
- dropping the small rock on it and fire the catapult to remove the orc. Go east
- past where the orc was and continue until you find a way to the south. Go south
- here and collect the key. The way west is blocked by the orc who now has a
- bandaged head. Go back north and west to the room with the catapult. As soon as
- you enter the room go south to find a cracked floor tile. Use the knife to
- reveal a ring. Take it and leave the knife behind. Go west, north and east
- passing another catapult and finding a locked door. Unlock it and go through.
- Then head west and north into a wooden floored room. Take the saw and leave the
- room, heading east and then north to a new room. Collect the bronze key from
- the top of the barrel and go to the far east of the room where there is a rat.
- To get rid of the rat, stand between the barrels facing south and drop the
- cheese. The rat will take it and run away. (If you stand in view of the rat and
- drop the cheese, he will smell the cheese but not take it.) Now pick up the
- scroll which the rat was guarding and read it. Leave the room and go west and
- south to the catapult room. Take the west exit, heading back towards the start.
- Go as far west as you can and then head north to the locked chest. Unlock it
- and drop the book so that you can take the needle and ring. Now, retrace your
- steps by going south and then east to the catapult room. From here take the
- east exit and keep going until you find a room to the north with a skull on an
- altar. Look at the skull and the inscription on the altar. Drop the needle on
- the altar to answer the riddle. Head north to where you will find a note from
- Gnaxar. Take it and read it. Proceed west to find another riddle. Use the fish
- to answer it and take the way south. Pick up the bell, leaving the cross
- behind, and make your way back north, east and then south through the first
- riddle room. Go west a short way and then south to arrive in the room where the
- orc is blocking the west exit. Use the scroll (Spelle of Shrinking) to dispose
- of him. Go west to find another riddle and answer it with the saw. Head west
- once more and then south to find yet another riddle. This time answer it by
- dropping the horseshoe on the altar and head west and then south to find a
- bronze key. Now make your way back to the final chest by going north, east,
- north, east, north and then west into the catapult room. The chest is in the
- north-east corner of the room. Unlock it and take the ring and copper coin
- within. Now, leave by taking the east exit and keep going until you find the
- way south again. Go south and keep heading west to find a locked door and a
- final riddle. Answer it with the bell and go west into the portal room. Look at
- the skull and pay your fare by dropping both coins on the altar. Now, stand in
- the centre of the portal (the pentagram on the floor) facing the altar. Use
- each of the three rings in the order given in Gnaxar's note (red-green-blue) to
- be transported to the next level.

- Collect the crystal ball from the altar just to the north of where you start.
- Move a little to the west and then north into a room full of levers. Take the
- empty bag and exit again to the south. Head east until you come to a red
- carpet. Operate the bottom left corner of the carpet to lift it up and reveal a
- key. Pick up the key and head west until you come to the end of the hallway.
- Unlock the door which leads west and enter this room. Take the key from the
- altar and go back out to the east. In the hallway, go to the first locked door
- which leads south and unlock it. Go through the doorway and collect the shield
- and the broken arrow. Lift the top right corner of the southernmost carpet to
- find another key. Take it and go west to come to a pile of rocks. Fill the
- empty bag with rocks. Now, go east then north to the hallway and east a little
- way until you come to a locked door leading north. Unlock it and enter the room
- to find two altars with raised platforms. Drop the crystal ball on one platform
- and the bag of rocks on the other to open the door to the north. Go north and
- pick up the door key from the corner of the room. Head west along a passage to
- find your way blocked by the Guardian. Look at him. Now, find your way back to
- the hallway by going east and then south. Next, go west a short way and take
- the first doorway south to enter a room full of holes. Drop the shield on the
- first hole and walk across it and to the west. Turn around and pick up the
- shield again. Repeat this process, dropping the shield to cover each hole,
- until you work your way to the south-east corner of the room where you will
- find a scroll. Take the scroll and read it. Make your way back out of the room
- using the shield to bridge the holes as before. Now, head to the east end of
- the hallway until you come to a locked door. Look at the inscription on the
- altar next to the door. Use the scroll (Spelle of Enlightenment) on the altar
- and read the inscription again. Make a note of the directions of the arrows
- shown. Go south and pick up the bronze key from the chair. Move north and west
- to the hallway. Head to the west end and take the doorway leading west. Unlock
- the chest against the west wall with the bronze key. Take the jar of honey.
- (You can take the sweet and eat it if you want.) Unlock the door which leads
- south and enter a room which contains a drinking fountain. Eat the honey from
- the jar and fill it with water from the drinking fountain. Go east and collect
- the spade from the pile of rocks. Head back to the hallway by going west, north
- then east. Once back in the hallway go east a short way and take the first
- doorway leading north. Operate the levers in this room to match the directions
- of the arrows which you saw earlier on the altar. When you get all of the
- levers right you will hear a door open. Now, leave the room and go to the east
- end of the hallway. Keep going east through the doorways into the labyrinth.
- Take care not to wander too far into the labyrinth yet as it is very easy to
- get lost. Go north to the first passage leading east. Go east here to the first
- way south and take it. Keep going south until you come to a plant growing at
- the end of the passage. Use the jar of water on the plant and take the flowers
- which it produces. Now, retrace your steps by going north, west, south and west
- again until you arrive back in the hallway. Go through the first doorway
- leading north and continue north until you come to the passage leading west.
- Follow this to arrive at the Guardian. Use the flowers to gain access to the
- Hall of the Undead. Open all of the coffins using the spade. Look at all of the
- skeletons which you reveal and pick up the piece of parchment, the bronze key
- and the note which you will find. You can drop the jar, flowers and shield as
- they are no longer needed. The note can also be left behind once it has been
- read. When you've finished in this room leave it by the exit to the east and
- travel south to arrive back in the hallway. Go to the room at the west end of
- the hallway and open the remaining chest with the bronze key. Take the flute
- and try playing it. Examine the flute, drop it and use the broken arrow on it.
- Use the piece of parchment you are carrying with the one which comes out of the
- flute. Look at the completed parchment. Drop it and use the scroll (Spelle of
- Enlightenment) on it. Pick up the map and look at it. Now, go back to the
- hallway by heading east and continue going east until you re-enter the
- labyrinth. Once in the labyrinth head north as far as you can. Then, follow the
- passage to the west until it turns north again. Head north until you reach the
- second passage east. Take this and then the first passage north. Follow this
- passage as it turns east and continue east until you can go no further. Now, go
- north following the passage west before choosing to go north once more. Follow
- this passage to arrive at a dead end where you will find a bronze key which you
- must take. Now, refering to the map which you carry, make your way through the
- labyrinth to the southernmost room marked on it. Unlock the chest you will find
- in this room and take the bone. Again using your map, find your way back to the
- Hall of the Undead and use the bone on the skeleton with a missing leg bone.
- Take the key which he gives you and head back through the labyrinth to the
- north-west corner of the map. Unlock the door leading west and go through.

- Pick up the scroll from the altar in the north-west corner of the room and read
- it. Now, go south into a room with tables and chairs and take the jam sandwich
- from the southernmost table. Leave the room by taking the west exit into a
- north-south passageway. Follow the passage south and then west a little way.
- Take the first doorway leading south to arrive in a room with a long altar
- containing a stone wheel and two levers. Try operating the levers before going
- east into a smaller room. Collect the bronze key from the altar and go west and
- then north to return to the passageway. Head west until you come across another
- passage leading south. Go south here and then go through the first doorway
- leading west. Take the lamp and leave the room. Continue along the passageway
- heading south and then west until you are confronted by a large hole in the
- floor. Turn around and head east and then north until you arrive at the other
- passageway which leads east and west. Head west into a large room with a
- cauldron at the centre. Drop the bronze key and lamp. Go to the west end of the
- room where you will find a fly on a table. Try to pick up the fly. Move to the
- table which lies just to the north of the cauldron where you will see that the
- fly has landed. Try to get it again. Now, move to the eastern part of the room
- and try once more to get the elusive fly. Head west to find the fly back in its
- original position. Now, try to eat the jam sandwich and take the half eaten
- sandwich and drop it on the table to the north of the cauldron in exactly the
- place where the fly landed before. Return to the fly and try to get it again.
- Head back to the sandwich and look at the fly. Take the fly and leave the room
- by the eastern exit. Go east and take the first passageway leading south.
- Follow the passage all the way south and then west to arrive at the large hole.
- Stand facing the hole and ensure that you are carrying only the scroll and the
- fly. Use the scroll (Spelle of Transmigration.) Now, head west and go through
- the first doorway north. Take the dustpan. Leave the room and head west along
- the passage once more. When you arrive in a room with purple tiles on the
- floor, take the key from the chair in the north-west corner. Head south from
- this room into a passageway which runs east-west and follow it east to come to
- a locked door. Unlock it and enter a room which has an altar at its north end.
- Read the inscription on the altar to the left of the raised platform. Use the
- dustpan on the pile of ashes which are on the floor. Take the east exit into a
- room which has bookshelves along its north and south walls. Go to the north
- bookshelf and take the painting from it. Look at the painting. Collect the
- scroll from the table and read it before going to the south bookshelf and
- picking up the iron key. Leave the room by going west and continue through the
- next room to the passageway. Take the first doorway north into the room with
- the purple floor tiles and keep going northwards into the next room. Continue
- until you encounter a locked door leading north. Unlock it and go north to find
- yourself back in the cauldron room. Collect the bronze key which you dropped
- earlier but leave the hat and lamp behind. Exit the room heading south again
- and continue into the purple tiled room. From here head west and follow the
- passageway to a small room with a locked chest. Unlock it and take the gear.
- Collect the oil can too and leave the room, following the passage back to the
- room with the purple tiles. This time head south and then west along the
- passageway to enter a bedroom. Take the mirror from the table which is just to
- the north of the doorway and leave the room heading east and then north all the
- way to the cauldron room. Collect the lamp left here earlier and exit by the
- east doorway. Keep going east until you come to the second opening leading
- south. Go through this doorway into the room with the stone wheel and levers.
- Use the oil can on the left hand lever. Move to the broken part of the altar
- and look inside. Use the gear on it and look at it again. Now, drop the
- painting on the floor and use the mirror on it. Reading from the bottom
- upwards, note the sequence of numerals indicated in the painting. Operate the
- left hand lever until the number shown on the wheel is the same as the first in
- the sequence in the painting. When it is, move to the right hand lever and
- operate it once. Move back to the left hand lever and continue moving the wheel
- to each number of the sequence, entering each one with the right hand lever.
- When you have entered the combination correctly you will hear a noise. Head
- east into the next room and you will find that one of the statues has moved
- aside to reveal a ladder. Try to use the ladder. Drop the lamp and use the
- scroll (Spelle of Kindling) on it. Take the lamp and use the ladder. At the
- bottom of the ladder head east and take the second opening north. Collect the
- bottle of glue from the open chest and exit to the south. Follow the passageway
- back to the west until you are able to take another passage northwards. Go
- north here and then west through the first doorway into another room. Pick up
- the piece of pottery from the altar to the south. Exit the room and head south
- and then west to arrive back at the ladder. Use the ladder to climb back up.
- Now, go west and then north to the passageway and then west again until you
- enter the cauldron room. Take the hat and examine it. Drop the hat and take the
- pin which fell out of it. You can also drop the oil can and mirror which you
- have finished with. Exit the cauldron room by the exit which leads south and
- keep heading the same way through the purple tiled room until you reach the
- east-west passage. Go east into the room with the altar which has the
- inscriptions. Use the glue on the piece of pottery which is in the room and
- then use the other piece of pottery with it to re-construct an urn. Take the
- urn and place it on the raised platform in the middle of the altar. Use the
- dustpan full of ashes on the urn. Look at the inscription to the right of the
- urn. Leave the room by going west and continue until you re-enter the bedroom.
- Make your way to the bookshelf along the north wall. Find the brown book which
- is lying on its side with an hourglass symbol on its cover. Look at it and then
- try to take it. Take the bronze key which is revealed. Move to the south-west
- corner of the room and unlock the chest. Take the gold pendant and look at it.
- Take the staff from the table against the south wall and move north to the bed.
- Operate the pillow, to lift it, and take the piece of paper which was hidden
- there. Now, leave by heading east and keep going to arrive back in the room
- where the urn is on the altar. Drop the gold pendant on the altar with the
- inscription to the right of the urn. Take the gold pendant and look at it
- again. Drop it once more and use the pin on it. Take the gold key. Leave the
- room heading west and take the passage northwards. Keep going north until you
- arrive back in the cauldron room. Go through the room and exit by the doorway
- leading east. Keep going east and go through the second opening leading south.
- Head east from here to find yourself back at the ladder. Climb down, and at the
- bottom, go east and then first north. Then, enter the first room to the west.
- Go to the north end of the room to find a gold box. Unlock it with the gold key
- and pick up the elixir. Exit the room and follow the passageway northwards
- until it turns east into a room with small holes in the floor. Look at the
- piece of paper which you are carrying. Use the staff on the holes in the floor,
- following the sequence shown on the paper. When you complete the sequence
- correctly the wall to the north of the holes will open and allow you to escape
- from the Dark Citadel.
