Can anybody help? I've got to Diviner level ( 7/9 ), but got stuck
with the battle code - incidentally, what is a "hungus"?
I presume the code is solved with the billiards playing machine, but
although I have the series of numbers ( ?#3 "fishing in the desert ")
I havn't worked out how to convert the six numbers into five, or what?
I've also found the Thadium, but have only succeeded in getting myself
killed !!
Please help, I'm getting desparate - and radioactive!

The tank panel requires 6 numbers (and it is the sequence from
"fishing in the desert").

When you get the Thaddium, put it in the container immediately.
I had the container all opened and ready before I picked up
the thaddium from the case. Then you have to go as fast as you
can to the tank, and put the thaddium in the green cannister
at the back of the tank and close it. I did a couple of trial
runs from the glass case to the tank beforer I did it with
the thaddium.

I've just started 'Ret. to Zork' and I'm stuck! I can't solve the block
puzzle (?) that I've picked up in the ruin. Something about 'bat, water,
drops, ...' Please tell me the solution.
Alos I saw a hunter fighting with a fairy.What do I have to do?
I aslo crossed the lake by giving the coin, which Mudock gave me, to the
ferryman. I reducked the wizard and took the piece of disk from a ship in
a bottle. Then I summoned the ferryman again, but he wouldn't take
anything to carry me back.
So PLEASE help me. I can't get any hint in my country since no one knows
about "Zork"!

Put the blocks into the frame and then spell out: "Water
unseen at falls mis with bat droppings yields potion for
invisibility".

Give the thermozzz to the archer and then be friendly to the
fairy and she will give you something.

You were supposed to show the coin to the ferryman on
the way to the island and then give it to him on the way
back. If you have a saved game, you can go back and
do it again. But I think you can also leave via the
vulture.

Spoiler Below

Do not GIVE the coin to the ferryman just SHOW it to him.


Water unseen at falls mix with bat dropping yields potion for
invisibility (Small Letters)

Search for three more pieces on the ground where this (was found)
(Large Letters)

You need to use the tiles on the frame, and move them around to make a
sentence. There is 2 sentences that you'll be able to read when the
puzzle is done. Start with the blank tile (water) at top left. You
have to spell out....."Water unseen at falls mix with bat droppings
yields potion for" or "(blank) search for three more pieces on the
ground where this"
afte the last tile appears, a few items will appear on the ground.

The bowman is blind and thinks he is shooting something else. Milk is
good for eyes (apparently..I never knew that!)....give him the milk.

I think you need more coins, which are available at the Money Tree in
the Forest of Spirits....just hit your sword against the tree and the
coins will fall.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to email if you want more help. :)

No - show the coin to the ferryman instead of giving it to him.

I think you can just use the magnet to latch on to the vultures (you have to
blow on the
whistle). The vulture will then take you anywhere on the map that you want.
