Sorcerer
The Forest-River-Castle Area
(Click or tap on any clue to reveal the clue.)
Why does this area seem so familiar?
- You "visited" this area in your dream.
- It must have been a flash of clairvoyance.
How can I avoid the hellhound?
- Go northeast.
- Once the hellhound slinks away, it is safe to enter the woods.
- However, there's nothing of interest in the woods.
How can I avoid the boa?
- Don't climb the tree.
How can I get past the Mine Field?
- There doesn't appear to be a way.
- Even flying over it doesn't work.
- Of course, appearances can be deceiving.
- But not in this case.
How can I avoid the locusts?
- Don't dawdle in the Meadow too long.
How can I survive in the Snake Pit?
- Don't hang around the pit for more than one or two turns.
- There's nothing useful there anyway.
How can I cross the moat?
- The Drawbridge is safe to walk on, at first.
- After the first few times, there's a danger that it may collapse.
- It collapses because of your weight.
- You can always pass over the drawbridge safely if you're flying.
How can I enter the moat?
- Just type DOWN from the Drawbridge.
- Or say ENTER THE MOAT.
- There is no way to enter the moat and live.
This space intentionally left blank.
How can I survive in the Turret?
- Pretty easily. Just don't jump.
- Nice view from the Turret, eh?
How do I enter the West Wing of the ruined castle?
- Play Planetfallโข instead of Sorcerer.
What is the significance of the indigo vial?
- Read the vial.
- Drink the potion.
- That's about it.
What is the significance of the skeleton in the Torture Chamber?
- What skeleton?
How can I survive at the River Bank?
- You're safe for a couple of turns.
- After that, there's always a danger of collapse.
- Except if you're flying.
- Or if the river has been PULVERed.
How can I cross the river?
- Trying to fly across it is deadly.
- There's no way to cross the river.
- However, there is something interesting you can do there.
- CAST THE PULVER SPELL ON THE RIVER.
How can I inflate the raft?
- With the hand-held air pump.
- It's located on the north shore of the reservoir.
- The north shore of the reservoir is in Zorkยฎ I, as are the inflatable raft and the hand-held air pump.
Help! I keep getting smashed by a wall of water!
- Don't go on unless you've been to the River Bed.
- PULVERing the river has only a temporary effect.
- It isn't safe to stick around any of the dried-up river bed locations for very long.
How can I cross the stagnant pool?
- You can't.
- Really!
What is the amber potion for?
- Read the label on the amber vial.
- Try ingesting the potion.
- The blort potion allows you to see in dark places, even if you don't have a light source.
- Unfortunately, grues are afraid of light, not of being seen.
- So the blort potion is pretty useless in Sorcerer.
