What do I do about the hooded figure?
- Have you noticed anything you do which increases your score?
- You must fight the figure.
- Have you ever looked at him or looked under its hood?
- When badly injured, the figure is defenseless.
- Does killing the figure leave you feeling satisfied?
- While the figure is badly injured, try taking its hood.
Why do I see myself?
- Very good question.
- This is actually a hint.
How do I freeze the quicksand?
- A blast of supercold air might do the trick.
- But The Great Undergound Empire is far from polar regions.
- The quicksand can't be crossed. It is one of the many borders which keep the Underground Empire small enough to fit on a diskette.
How do I get to the ship?
- Congratulations. Seeing the ship is rather rare.
- Have you tried walking on water?
- This is a Viking sailor.
- You've been waiting three games for this!
- Something happens here!
- Type: HELLO SAILOR
How do I open the chest?
- You can't open it.
- The man at the cliff has the only key.
- You'll have to wait for him to open it.
- Wait on the ledge for him to appear, then follow his directions.
Can the man at the cliff be trusted?
- He certainly seems like a practical joker.
- But he has the only key to the chest.
- You'll have to be patient and take a chance.
What is in the tree house?
- This could be the man's living quarters.
- The inflatable raft in the back room might be useful elsewhere.
- It is amazing that anyone has gotten this far when there is no tree house.
I have the treasure, but how do I mend the staff?
- It cannot be fixed.
- Have you tried protecting the staff (for example, throwing it off the cliff) before taking the treasure?
- You'll have to decide which you prefer, the treasure or the staff.
I have the staff; how do I get the treasure?
- You might try killing the man before he walks away with it.
- You'll have to decide which you prefer, the treasure or the staff.
What is the significance of Smokey the Bear?
- "Only people prevent forest fires."
- I bet you thought this was one of the nonsense questions. Try burning the trees.
What is in the vial?
- "It feels as though there is something inside, but you can't see anything even though the vial is transparent."
- Have you tried drinking it?
- Look in the mirror immediately after drinking it.
- The invisible liquid is an invisibility potion. It will last only two moves and will not be effective against the more powerful denizens of the Great Underground Empire.
