I would appreciate some hints/spoilers to the game Zork2. I have searched out all that the cave I seem to be able to yet I am woefully stuck. Here are a couple off questions I have: How does one get the key from the unicorn? How does one get past the menhir? How does one melt the ice? How does one raise the bucket? Any and all help is appreciated. You can E-mail me if you don't want to broadcast to the net. My sanity and I thank you. ========================================================================= Joe Szep szep@gallifrey.bu.edu "Fool! - You'll never get past first base at this rate" - Wizard of Frobozz "I'll say..." - Joe Szep =========================================================================

SPOILERS FOLLOW! >How does one melt the ice? Have you ever attacked the dragon, or done anything else to get its attention? What the dragon does next is the key to removing the ice. I'm afraid it has been so long since I played Zork 2 (how long, you ask? I was playing it on a TRS-80 Model III) that I don't fully remember the "bucket" problem. But you will be unable to solve the other two puzzles until after you melt the ice, so that ought to be a good start. E-mail me if you need any more help. Zork 2 is an excellent game, IMHO the best of the original Zork series.
