Early access

Chabri plains

NW Manticora's bridge	N Fire chasm	NE Na'kworbok forest
W Kein river canyon	START	E Na'kworbok forest
SW Ferry	S Bridge troll	SE Zae seaside

List of location, clockwise from the south:

• The eight-way intersection: game start.
• The bridge troll (S): his greed is insatiable; he will steal an item if you force your way south. Better to put down something before you pass, then.
• The ferry (SW): Gorn states clearly that you need to find a rope. You also need a way to send the rope to the other side.
• Kein river canyon (W): three items can be found here. Two of them can reach a certain distance, the last one can be used to capture animals.
• The manticora (NW): the text notes the animal bones scattered around (press Ctrl+F and look for other instances of "animal" in this page).
• The fire chasm (N): this area can be accessed only later in the game.

Na-kworbok forest

• The green force (N): impassable. Talk to the seer for information.
• The seer hut (NE): he has the same function as the hermit in The Quest.
• The geyser (E-NE): this animated location deserves to be looked at!
• The white boulder (E-SE): the text points out that there are lots of animal tracks.

Zae seaside

• The shipwreck (E-SE): the text repeats that the ogress is very smelly; also notice that she hugs Gorn very tightly when he approaches. Who could react to the ogress smell?
• The island (SE): according to folklore, a werewolf can only be killed by silver.

Later access

Spoilers!

Spoiler warning! This section of the article contains spoilers, or hints about the game's storyline or progression.

You might want to skip down to the next heading if you do not want facts about the game's storyline or plot revealed to you.

Kein riverland

Beyond the troll

• The ogre living there will kill you on sight, without the time to do any action. You need something he would automatically react to.

Pournia mountains and Shaudra drylands

Bug alert

Both arcade games causes a bug: after you beat any one of them, all images will disappear. You can use the "Arcade on/off" command, or you can simply save the game after you beat the arcade part and reset your Apple II.

Beyond the manticora

• Mountains: there is pretty much just one item that still has to be used.
• Desert: if the sand-roc is in its nest, wait and come back later.

Zumpf-jia wasteland

Beyond the ferry

• You can talk to the deformed man.
