AVERNUM 6 ORB OF THRALNI PASSWORD

But no, you still have to type TAKE MIRROR here. Generally, in other parts of the game, when the thief SEARCHES something, he automatically receives what he finds.

When you search the desk, the game notes that 'a quick but thorough search of the desk discloses two healing potions and a mirror.' I figured that my character picked up the items at this point. The previous Chester was so dumb, he just opened the desk, looked at the mirror, and left. I just needed to do the one thing that I didn't do: actually take the magic mirror from Elsa's desk after she disappears with Yorick. *This would be a good name for a British pub.įinding the fox, the note, the conversation, and the secret door are all necessary for a maximum point score, but I didn't need to do any of them to have a chance to defeat Baba Yaga. My slapstick 'smashing' option works, even if it's a bit silly.

If you give the password, he'll leave, but it took me a while to figure out that you have to say the password while you're still outside the door there isn't enough time once you enter the cave.Ī walkthrough says it's possible to climb the gate, and I guess I just didn't practice the skill enough. I found the secret door before I found Bruno and Brutus, so when I first entered I found myself face-to-face with a troll-and a much more difficult troll than the typical forest troll. The Antwerp is easy to circumnavigate and best left undisturbed if you try to fight him, he bounces into the air and comes back down to crush you.Īnyway, the lock can be picked or unlocked with the key, and after that you have to have a high enough strength to heave it open (but trying to open it exercises your strength, so you just have to try multiple times). You just have to 'LOOK AT ROCK,' which I didn't before. If you want to avoid the frontal assault on the base that Chester 1 pulled off, it turns out there's a secret door behind the bouncing Antwerp. Technically, getting the key from Brutus wasn't necessary since I could just pick the door lock, but hey, one less bandit in the world. He returned with throws of his own, but he died first.īrutus needs to make better use of that practice board. After that, you can attack Brutus which I did by throwing daggers at him. You have to wait for Bruno to clear the area, since if he sees you, he'll hurl a poison dagger into you and you die. (The screen is odd in that it's divided into three sections separated by hedges, and you have to leave the screen and return from different directions to visit different parts now I know why.) They have a conversation about the brigand leader (their references to her as female is another clue that it's Elsa), note that there's a secret door to the base by the 'bouncer' (the Antwerp), give the password to the door ('Hiden Goseke') and note that Brutus has the key. You encounter them if, after getting the note above, you visit the archery range south of town by approaching from one of the sides. His information was questionable (he told me to try the Dragon's Breath at the tavern, which kills you) and usually achievable somewhere else in the game, so I never had much use for him. I ran into Bruno a few times, lurking around the town gates and offering to sell information for money. The two 'Bs' are Bruno and Brutus, apparently brethren in the brigands. The note itself is inconsequential just some correspondence between two guys whose names are abbreviated 'B.' But it leads to the next encounter. To find this, you have to notice a couple of extra white pixels on the floor. Just like the fox, you have to visit the screen several times, and even then, you really have to be looking for it. It was only through reading Trickster's first entry that I found this clue: there's a note on the floor by one of the stools in the tavern. Freeing the fox gave me some information that I didn't need, but it did add 10 points to my score.
