No, I have not found a bowl. I think the game only recognizes the first three letters of a word. When you get the message "you already have it" it is probably referring to the bow (and arrow). Your inventory does not list a bow, but I think you have both the bow and arrow.

The only place that may ...

I found the turtle two locations east of the starting point. Though the gods and monsters move around randomly.

Frankly, I am stuck and don't know what else to do. Unless Alastair, and others join us, or we are supremely lucky, we still won't know what to do at these intriguing locations.

Doing ...

I'm sure American Idol was better than going around in circles in a game.

Just to let you know, I have written to a Mark Novembrino (found two people with that name) for some help.

I've walked around some more and tried to do some things at the tarpits. I believe we need to find a time door at ...

Oy, starting again? I sympathise. I don't really like doing that.

Yes, I tried killing the ram elsewhere, and got the same question. However, I did not think to pick it up again. Vanishing meant, to me, to be gone, and I didn't even look to see if it was there, or elsewhere.

OK I'll try your ...

Here are some additional hints (in addition to the ones Alastair found) - based on what you and I have figured out:

13. The hydra is bothering you? Burn it away.

14. Chimera on your tail? Give it a poisonous metallic element.

15. Can't get past the bull? Something found underwater will help.

16 ...

I tried getting the object where the Cyclops is, but I can't. He just laughs at me.

How did you get it?

I for inventory? Imagine. I tried the entire word, even shortened it to INVENT, but didn't think to use I.

Yes, I too have gone into text mode to see what is where (if they're all in one place ...

How did you dispatch the cyclops? I tried to call Zeus but that didn't work (even before I dispatched him).

The myths say that Odysseus killed him by getting him drunk and then putting out his eye. While we have lots of objects we can stab him with, none seem to work (haven't tried the knife).

I ...

I think I am caught up to where I was before.

Any hints about how to move the boulder?

What did you do at the tope of the mountain, past the dove?

What to do at the shades?

I'm wondering what to do with the magic hat and wand. These weren't part of the Greek Myths, were they? Thought I might try ...

Haven't yet replayed in the "new" version. Glad that we were able to assist one another. That's what this forum is all about. I think that our third player is just lurking in the woods, and s/he will have the upshot in the end!

No matter.

I am getting ready to do it all again. Though I keep ...

Thanks

The giant requires a sharp weapon, not in the greatest of shape. Use a verb that one would use with such an object.

What does the warrior do to you if you just wait around? Turn about is fair play.

How did you dispatch Zeus?

I can't go east of the vineyard. I get a message that the proper ...

Yes, about the turtle, but how do you get the fish?

And how do you get the rat? Just get it? Hadn't tried that.

Good luck with the trident. It didn't work for me.

Bull - need an excalibur-kind of thing.

Hydra- use a lit object. If that doesn't work, drop it at the tar pits first.

Still haven't managed to figure out where to use the trident. You can't use it to catch the fish or kill the turtle.

I did some checking and found that Poseidon used the trident to create water sources. So I tried hitting the earth at various locations hoping that would create water and wash the ...

To get the girdle, be wearing the skin. That's all, would you believe?

Re the turtle: I did see a fish somewhere. Gotta remember where, though.

"Up, up and away" - that's at the reflection scene with the typo? Thanks.

So the trident doesn't work? Too bad. Maybe the sword? Though I think I tried ...

Still cannot find the mirror, but I have made progress. I have gotten the girdle which allowed me access to the bow and arrow (though I don't know yet when to use them).

I have made it into the underworld, but since you, Amby only had two locations missing, you probably have been there already ...

I know I saw or found a mirror somewhere when I was mapping. Does anyone know where it is?
