BOGMOLE 1: THE BLOOD OF BOGMOLE
Jon Lemmon (Compass Software)
Walk Through with Dorothy Millard and Terri Sheehan (Spectrum Version)
Notes:
1. It is impossible to give a complete step-by-step walk through because
of the random nature of the game and being continuously captured by orcs.
2. Always carry the lump of mud until an orc patrol spots you, then wear
it until the attack is over. When worn the rain will wash away the mud,
but if carried it will be okay. If the mud gets washed away you can return
to the muddy embankment and get more.
3. The mud staves off some, though not all orc attacks.
4. It is necessary to map the game, then when you are captured by orcs
note your position, go to the escape section, then return to the walk
through and continue.
5. When it rains you must FILL BUCKET from a puddle. You can also do this
after you take the coin before going into the cave at the beginning of the
game.
6. The earthquake destroys the chasm.
7. Each time you get captured and escape from jail, the orc army looses
two members.
8. Each time you need to return to get another company from Eldrin, the
dwarf army loses one member.
9. Once the thief takes the mud from you toward the end of the game, you
cannot get more.
10. We are not quite sure what the ring is for. Try wearing it or removing
it during the dungeon escapes, during the orc attacks, etc. This
walkthrough is completely with the ring worn.
11. The cloak protects you from being killed by Zogan when you enter his
chamber alone.
12. Red Herrings - Bone, Nail, Cork, Branch, Skull, Tooth, Spearhead,
Horseshoe, Leaf.

and minimizing the dwarf losses.
