Be forewarned. Only those of superior intellectual faculties will be able to suceed at this game.

Quest for the crown

I'm still trying to figure out how do this. Can anyone help?

Yes, ask the elf in level 4 for a key. He will give you a choice between two riddles. Don't fall for it. Answering the riddle is not mandatory. Just give the elf twenty pieces of gold and you can bypass the riddles altogether. Of course, if you are familiar with David Sedaris essays, you may give the riddles a try.

Sedaris is a Mormon isn't he? Maybe I'll try that.

Here's another question. Before that, on level three, there's a one-eyed hag who asks you to tell her the meaning of life. What the heck? Everything I try she just shrinks my weapon by 25 sizes.

Gahhhh!!!!!

Bok - are we playing the same game? [Confused]

The game has 26 levels and four sub levels under each level. How did you finish it so fast? Better check your link again. [Smile]

C'mon Jon Boy, everyone knows that in this game, it isn't the size of your sword, but the skill of the swordsman.

[Embarrassed]

Anyway, the old hag always seems restrict my sword usage. Is there a way around this?

You have to put her to sleep with the magic potion from the dwarves. Have you gotten that yet?

My problem Jon Boy is that in order to get to the dwarves, you have to meet them in the chapel.

And the chapel dwarves seem to say to me, 'Shhh. Be Still. '

Anybody have any hints on how to trundle the cloud barrels with the loopswitch you find under level 18? I think if I can figure that out, I've solved the bear riddles.

AFR -- you don't trundle them, you ask them nicely, and when they get close, you force them in.

You can do that? But I was only halfway up the chimney at that point, and the rats hadn't learned how to throw yet.

Thanks for the hints, guys. I think I may have solved a sub-riddle.

BTW, which translation of Iliad does that knight want?

You know, the man eating plants?

The trick to this game is opening up the source in an assymbley editor and figuring out the password. At least that's what I did.

Oui, Chryses a approché les bateaux rapides de l'Achaeans pour gagner sa fille en arrière, apportant un ransom priceless et soutenant la haute à disposition, blessure sur un personnel d'or, les guirlandes du dieu, l'Archer mortel éloigné.

I tried the French version and it worked just as well.

I hate you guys. Drag me into a game like this and now I'll not get any sleep tonight.

I'm so embarrassed, but I still can't get past the three headed dog on level 2 sublevel 3. I thought it might be a Harry Potter reference and tried to play him some music, but he keeps attacking me.

I know all of you are way past that point, but if you remember how to do it, could you email me or post here? Thanks.

I played this game all night at work.

My productivity is zero. I think I ignored someone trashing our biggest, most fragile security partner's firewall.

I'm in the same boat, Belle. SOMEONE HEEEELLLLLP!

Um, I clicked on the link, but I didn't find a game with 26 levels and 4 sublevels under each level. It's just one frame where I move the guy to the crown and then it says "win!" and rolls credits. Some of the credits were funny though. They credited "a bear we saw" with something.
