Well I've finished it with a score of 500 so it seems that the pendant and the satyr are red herrings, just remember to put all the treasures in the tent before tackling the mask.

Amby, I have already done a map and submitted it.

For "speak thy reply" remember what is written on the duck statue ...

Regarding the satyr, I've had no luck either.

Amby, to get past the roof collapse RUN West.
Terri, I don't think you can take the ankh as it is part of the room description, you can however tie the rope to it.

You can always turn the torch off (EXTINGUISH TORCH) and move about in the dark - I suppose you have to buy extra batteries from the Arabs at the camp fire. My tip is to save the game before entering each pyramid then search the pyramid, and once you have worked out what to do go back to the saved ...

..."the Great God Acro-Bat"... No amount of praying has helped and I still can't seem to devine how to use the pole.

You have to pray in the right place, and the pole is used in the second pyramid so do not take it into the first.

I am not sure how far you are in the first pyramid, so to get out ...

Yup, I'm getting the same crash/freeze with the fox/grebe now that I am properly equiped. Has it been decided whether or not this makes the game unwinnable?

Since you have to get past the dragons and the game hangs when you get past the dragon in the cave, I think the game is unwinnable. Of the ...

I think the version I downloaded is bugged. Using BeebEm 3.0, with three of the hardware profiles the game hangs after giving the boots (two pairs) to the dragon in the cave, and with the fourth profile the game fails to load.

For what is it is worth, after giving the corn and sheepskin to the ...

Hello Ladies,

I have finished the game, therefore it, the WoS version at any rate, is not bugged.

To get the hammer you first need an identity paper, go to the Bendover Hotel and WAIT. Now go to the office building and GIVE GUARD PAPER. Inside the office building is the hammer and also a tape ...

Looks like I was a few days late in starting this...
Nevermind, I'll submit a map.

I obtained 100%, I think it has to do with the number of locations you visit, never found a beneficial use for the necklace though.

Following on from Doreen's suggestion I tried from the west of the guard -
DROP JUG - THROW STONE AT GUARD - LOOK - E - E - N (for points) - S - E (again for a ...

I noticed the hut description changed after giving the medallion to the shaman, but I did not have the hammer at the time.

Still no further progress on my front, chopping huts does not work either.

Thanks for the tomb tip Terri, though I found there is no need to kneel.
After crossing the bridge use the axe to CHOP BRIDGE before the natives have a chance to cross.

I have managed to get Penelope back to the boat but as yet have not found the means to repair the hole.

I just wonder if using ...

For the frog and lilies try CATCH FROG instead of L.

To get the cloth across the bridge I think that you should be carrying the cloth and nothing else. I haven't had any of the problems that have been mentioned regarding the bridge, could this be an emulator problem? (I am using ZXSpin version 0 ...

I found that to follow the frog you need to drop everything including the raft before going south on to the lilies.

For the desert maze the map helps a bit, but you still need to employ the maze mapping technique. To save you the bother go SE - S - S - S where a whole new region awaits, I am still ...

I have found a light (two actually).

Making sure you are wearing the cloak and carrying nothing else, wait until dark then enter the vampire room and continue along the tunnel. From where you land when you fall through a hole, S - U (a secret place, surprised I missed this during earlier mapping ...
