Well another week has gone by and I've made no progress in the game.
I'm at the point in the maze where I'm faced with a bouncing creature
guarding a gem. I know I need to get the gem But I can't figure out
how to kill the bouncing creature. Can someone please post the answer
to this question? Any other hints/spoilers would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm still looking for the answer to how I get rid of the
bouncing creature in the maze so that I can get the gem it's
guarding. Other hints or spoilers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gary! Why do you want to kill the nice bouncing ball? :) Try giving him something; something that you got in the previous room; something that flies. Paul

The right offering here will gain you access to a secret entrance to the center of the maze. Once you enter this secret entrance you will no doubt meet up with the bouncing creature. ***** MINOR SPOILER ******* The right offering is something that would be appropriate for a funeral, perhaps one of the objects from the dining room? > What's the greenhouse for? In the greenhouse you will find some plants. Watering one of the plants will grow a poisonous fruit. I haven't figured out how to use this yet but I suspect you're supposed to get the little guy running around with the key to eat it, (hint; he's always hungry). > > Cheers! > Greg

If not, start the game from the beginning and you'll understand. This way you can handle one zombie at a time. >[A spoiler deleted] >> What's the greenhouse for? > > >In the greenhouse you will find some plants.

Yes, he's hungry, but why poison him? You'll soon find something tasty for him! If you want it to be sooner, read on As you get the key from the bouncing create, you'll be able to enter the house left of the greenhouse (sorry can't remember anything) and encounter another guardian, which really eats everything. >> Cheers! >> Greg Hope you'll soon finish this Gary -- ---------- Hans Olsson Email: f88ho@efd.lth.se Snail: K[MN[RSV[GEN 8:118 222 45 Lund Sweden

You don't have to do it but you can show the spider to the ghost near the kitchen. It might help a little. >And lastly, > >- The chair by the veranda seems to have some special properties. Is this >the chair referred to in the book upstairs? Nope, try to go back to the first room you entered and sit down. Without this key, you can't do anything. -- ---------- Hans Olsson Email: f88ho@efd.lth.se Snail: K[MN[RSV[GEN 8:118 222 45 Lund Sweden

Thanks to all who followed up. I've put in about three more hours of play, and feel very close to something, but am once again up against a stumper. More help for helpless, if anyone is kind enough... Spoilers! I seem to be in a double-key bind. There are two keys that I know exist, but don't know how to locate. I can't tell which to go after first, and which depends on already having succesfully gotten the other. The first is kiddy key. I am told to feed him stuff from inside the safe, but I can't open it. Do I need to melt the ice first? According to the kitchen ghost, Dracan's star will melt the ice, but that is sealed in the master's air-tight box. The safe, too, is airtight. Hmmm... The second is a key made of Mercury, Silver, and Gold. For mercury, I am using the heavy fluid found in the master's cabinet. For silver, I'm using the silver spitoon from the hall closet. For gold, I am drawn for some reason to Dracan's bathroom. For one, all the fixtures are gold, and can be manipulated (unlike the fixtures in the Master's bathroom). Moreover, the goldfish tank seems to be filled with "specks of gold." Unfortunately, nothing seems to operate on the goldfish tank, except for objects of destruction, and nothing seems to operate on it once destroyed. Moreover, while I can put the mercury in its bottle into the silver bowl, I can't "pour" it into the bowl. Operate,Open Bottle,Bowl just gives me the "you spill it all over the bowl" message. One key for the room off the study... what lies there? More ghoulish horror I hope. Thanks for any help! -- --- jackiw@cs.swarthmore.edu | Smoggo: Can you prevent the detonation of jackiw@swarthmr.bitnet | the thermonuclear device? Applelink: D3717 | Jimbo: No ... I cannot.
