RIFTS OF TIME (Dave Walls) You start in a hut, with Dave your trusty sprite, and your quest is to find three relics. GET RATIONS, S, E, (you get a rod), E, NE, GET AMETHYST (you get a hint about a helmet), EAT RATIONS, SW, W, W, S, GET SWORD, (the sword protects you from the dragon), N, E, S, GET SHIELD, N, N (the shield protects you from the Needleman), S, S, S, U, DROP AMETHYST, GET LANTERN, DROP SHIELD, DROP ROD, E, S, E, W, N, N, E, S, GET HORN, E, E, GET HELMET, WEAR HELMET, N, S, E, W, S, N, W, S (you fall), SW, BLOW HORN (you kill the Hydra and Dave returns), NE, E, N, W, W, W, W, GET ROD, DROP HORN, GET SHIELD, S, S (you need the rod to get past the pit), OPEN CUPBOARD, DROP LANTERN, N, N, GET HORN, S, S, GO PORTAL (you find yourself in another square room), E, E, S, S, S, GIVE SHIELD (you are given a key), N, DROP HORN, UNLOCK DOOR, W, DROP KEY, N, N, W, W, N, GO WATERFALL (your sword protects you), N, GET TOPAZ, S, S, S, E, E, S, S, W, D, D, (you slide down and cannot return this way), E, E, E, E, GO LIGHT (you find yourself back in the 4-way junction), S, UP, GET AMETHYST, S, S, GO PORTAL, E, E, S, S, W, D, D, E, E, E, S, OPEN DOOR, GO DOOR, S, W (you find yourself in front of three huts). GO BLUE, DROP AMETHYST, GET ROBE, WEAR ROBE, GET AMETHYST, E, E, E, THROW TOPAZ (you banish the demons and find a weeping girl), W, U, N, N, E, NW, GET HORN. You should now have the horn, sword and helmet, the three relics. GO DOOR. This finishes the game with 85%. Obviously there are more points to be obtained. Exploring all rooms gets you more points, but returning to get items like the lantern and the pouch do not appear to help. The amethyst also may not have earned extra points. One run-through earned me 95%, but I have not found a way to get 100%. There is a bugbear in the torture chamber, but giving him the pouch you find in the room with the time portal doesn’t help. I don’t know what to do with the weeping girl. In the room with the three huts, if you GO RED, you die of leprosy. If you GO GREEN you die also.
