[net.games] zork hints please

pdac@qtlon.UUCP (Peter Da'Costa) (11/15/84)

 Can anyone give me a few hints on how to get into the vault or get the
crystal sphere out without poisoning myself ? These are the only two tasks
I have yet to solve (apart from the endgame) and I would appreciate hints
rather than spoilers.

I have got some problems with zork as well. Somehow you can get
from the Temple into the Robbers Hideout. Can anyone tell
me how to do this?? (Or give me a hint)
You can get into a machine room as well. Since I have not figured that
out as well, can someone give me a hint about this.

I don't know how to get into the vault, but I do know how to get into
the endgame.
HINT: Try an incant(ation).

Getting into the vault is perhaps the most "Spelunker Today"-ish
aspect of Zork; it requires that you know your way around the bank
quite well.  Have you been to the small room with *no* exits?
Perhaps that curtain of light looks a lot different from its other side.

As to the sphere, the robot is strong.

I would suggest you to try to use the robot to get the sphere.
There are rumours this thing could be useful.
We here are working on a hint, how to get in the vault.

Perhaps you knew already, how to get in the endgame, without having solved
all zork's problems. ( incant! ).

Could Peter Da Costa please give some hints to me,
for example how to pass that nasty bottom of well ( enter bucket? ).
I would be very grateful, for I'm not the onlyone getting insane about this
thing.
