LANDFALL ON ROLLUS
Clwyd Adventures Software
Spectrum 48
This is a very challenging, and sometimes frustrating, game to play for
several reasons. One is not sure for what purpose the people you meet
are to serve. There are many random elements. You can only carry a
limited number of objects, which necessitates much retracing of steps.
Throughout the game you are not sure what your purpose is.
Hints:
Below is a list of objects and how they are to be used, as well as where
to say the names that the helmet tells you. Some actions cannot be
performed unless it is night or it is the next day.

WAIT 5 TIMES FOR THE PORTCULLIS TO RAISE
The lantern appears to be the only object you need more than once.
As you need Boras at the slab, so don't let him die before his purpose
is served. If he blows the horn and dies, go back to an earlier saved
game and RESTORE. Even though Zacillaria takes him, he always pops back
up and that is necessary until he fulfils his purpose, but annoying
after that. The Princess keeps moving because of him (you will find her
at the bridge). So, once he has done what he needs to do, let him blow
the horn.
Zacillaria also takes the sharp sword. You won't need it till the end.
You can find it past the cage with the lizard.
At the woodcutter's: throw the bucket at the bank of the river. This
will start a sequence of events. You see the man with the axe. In his
cottage, RUB STONES, then find the axe. Return to the bank of the river
and build an object that will help you cross the river. Don't use it
immediately. Wait or find the jester first.
The portcullis opens after five "actions". You can either WAIT five
times, or do something else five times, or OPEN PORTCULLIS five times.
Wait at the marsh with the shoes until a new day dawns.
HELP is available in several locations though not always for that
location. Some of these hints are quite obscure. It also appears to
depend on either what you have done before or the time of day/night.
The helmet whispers words to you (SEBOTARNIS, ESKOS, and KRALDAR) which
change depending in which general area you are.
Map carefully. Often the reverse of the way into a location is not the
way out of it.
There are several places to fill the jug (at the shingle cavern, at the
clearing with the spring, at the base of the well, at the well (before
the water is stopped up),on wet rocks, at the ford.
The locations where you may need to wait (dependent on when you arrive)
are:
at the marsh
at the feast/king's bed
at the sickly smelling flower
You can wear the ring but you will lose it when day changes into night.
So EXAMINE and OPEN it when you get it.
Remember to take the horn with you after Boras uses it.
Type HELP at the stall. Trade something sweet at the stall.
Drop the Eldekar and the prisoner soon after you find them.
At the mirror, say the magic word, and GO THROUGH MIRROR. When
returning, just go through it.
