[net.games.hack] The beloved amulet ...

lewis@axiom.UUCP (Lewis Pringle) (06/10/85)

I was playing hack(1.0.1) the other day, and for the first time,
I reached the maze, and found the amulet.  But, it was in the lower left
hand corner.  I used the wand of digging to kill the walls on every side,
but, of course, the outside.  I found no way to budge the rock.

Question:  If you are fourtunate enough to find the amulet in the corner of
the maze, is there any way to get it??????

PS:	I don't believe that this bug exists in 1.0.2.

				Merry Christmas,
						Lewis.

Would polymorphing the rock have helped?

If you mean the thing was under a rock like :
		   -
                  `-
                 ---

Then try a wand of striking or a wand of teleport to get rid of the
rock (and amulet?). Also, a wand of polymorph to get change the rock
to a gem could be used (if you want to try it in light of the fact
that the amulet may be changed also).

If you mean you could get to it at all, I wouldn't know.

This may or not help, but one time when I was trying to get a Nymph to
steal some cursed armour off of me, this happened:
I dropped everything except the cursed armour, started walking toward
the nymph, but teleported before I got there(via leppie).  On my way
back towards the nymph and my stuff, I encountered a cockatrice.
Not wanting to fight it with my bare hands, I ran.  Unfortunately,
the passage was blocked by a boulder.  I thought I was dead, but in
my haste, I hit to many 'l' keys and got this message:
"You try to move the boulder, but in vain --more--"
"You manage to squeeze though an opening."  (something like that)

Anyway, if this was not just some fluke, then it could be used to 
get the amulet.  I haven't experimented with this at all, so I
don't know if you can pick anything up while between the rock and
the wall.
