How can I get through the circular room with the granite statue? The doors slam and the statue seems both implacable and invulnerable. I'd appreciate a hint or two, I'm stumped. -Jon Millen

The first character will get hit at least once. The other characters try to open the door and the first characters tries to go south. However. I accidentally discovered another way of dealing with the status. The first character attacks the statue with a torch only. the other characters attacks normally. (this might break you weapons) Somehow the statuse never attacks, but this takes a looong time.

Has anyone played the game Quarterstaff from Infocom? I gave it up because I hated the copy protection so much (it consisted of a rune, coin, riddle, etc. that I never really figured out). However, having spent 41 bucks (or however much it was a year ago) to buy it, I thought I may as well try to finish the game. Does anyone know of a walkthrough/hintbook/spoilers that would help me? Thanks. Cole Bader crbader@phoenix.princeton.edu -----------------------------

I have a few questions about Infocom's Quarterstaff 1) Are there different version with different scenarios? I have version 2.0c, but i have heard that there are other versions 2) Has anyone solver this game? Is there any way to beat the Statue in the round room? 3) What are the best weapons to use for: Titus, Bruno, Eolene? They never hit with the ones I have. 4) What keys do I need? How do I know? 5) I figured out the parchment and coin, and that helps, but only with locks, wands, scrolls, and potions. What about keys, and weapons and such? 6) Any helpful hints are appreciated. * Origin: The Clone: Macintosh Things - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421.911)

I beat the statue in the round room. Just whooped on him for a while with weapons obtained in the area above the temple. . :

I have version >2.0c, but i have heard that there are other versions I wish there were. I've played some of the adventure games around, but this one was really fun. Not too complicated and the character-joining idea was quite different. I know the glossy stuff in the package promised more scenarios, but nobody here has talked about them. I don't think they exist. >2) Has anyone solver this game? Is there any way to beat the Statue in >the round room? I did destroy the statue once, for fun, but I don't have any helpful hints. Maybe I used a wand to do it? >3) What are the best weapons to use for: Titus, Bruno, Eolene? They >never hit with the ones I have. I think you should choose a weapon and stick with it. You get to "train" your character this way. This is a problem with the game - I always ended up with proficiencies in really useless things like acid and fire which basically don't exist. I did get Titus up to near 50% for swords (or whatever the category is). Maybe more, it's years since I played it. -- Mars is essentially in the same orbit ... we have seen pictures where there are canals, we believe, and water.

So what I do about this QStaff stuff. What weapons to use? What things to do? * Origin: The Clone: Macintosh Things - 301-946-8677 (1:109/421.911)
