CompuServe TEG-10177 HERO'S QUEST Part 1 INTRODUCTION This walkthru is for a thief character. Other character types can use it, but they will not get the full benefit. When you create your thief, make sure you increase its strength, intelligence, Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10178 vitality, parry, and magic at least once. It is highly recommended that you give the extra point to strength, but do with it as you please. You are ready to begin the game. FREEING THE BARONET When you enter the town, you automatically go to the sheriff. The sheriff rambles on about the town and the valley, and he will eventually ask you for your name. Press return after the test box has been displayed (with your name already in it). After the conversation, go up to him and ask him about the guild hall. ! CompuServe TEG-10178 Go left to the guild hall and enter it. Go to the book and sign it. Go to the board, look at it, and read the notices on it. Go to the guild master and ask him about the hall. You will have to repeat the question as he is asleep, and the first time you ask the question, it just wakes him up. Then ask him about Antwerps. Once he recounts the story, leave the guild hall. (Of course, you do realize the tourists were the two guys from Andromeda.) Being bored with this, go to the inn (one screen to the right) and ask the innkeeper about the inn. If you wish, you can also ask him about Shema (his wife), Abdulla Doo (his friend), and about the lost caravan. Once you are finished, leave the inn and go to the upper right (until you Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10180 change screens). Go to the centaur and ask her about the fruit and her father. Buy fruit (do this six times) and vegetables (do this 2 times). Next, go to the dry goods store and ask the merchant about the weapons he has, or about the store. Buy two flasks and one dagger, then leave the store. Exit the town by going down to the lower right part of the screen. Once outside the town, go down two times, and right once. Take some of the water from the falls. Try climbing the cliff (try about four times). If that does not work, take some rocks, and start throwing them. Keep on doing this until you hit the door three times, which will make the hermit come out. (This took me 18 tries.) Once he comes out and shows you the ladder, climb up the Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10181 cliff. Go to the door and knock. After knocking, go right twice (the first right brings you to the rock; the second presses you against it so that you can survive). Enter the cave and sit down at the table. Ask the hermit about the cave, his family, the ladder, the spell, and finally about the trigger spell. Ask for the scroll (respond yes to his question), then take the scroll. Say thank you and leave. Climb down and go left six times. Near the end of this trip, you should be following a white stag. When you enter this little niche of the woods, the dryad appears. When she asks "Are you one with the woods?" say yes. Leave by going to Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10182 the right, then go up. Take some mushrooms (type it in twice), then eat some mushrooms (do this only _once_). The colors are neat, huh? After your psychedelic experience, go up four times; ignore the goblin screen. Go to the skull at the gate and ask about the deal. (Respond yes to his question.) Now, go down, right, up, right, and up. Once here, you will see the seed and the plant the dryad wanted. As a thief, try climbing up the rocks and catching the seed. You can also throw a rock and knock the seed out of the air, or you can cast a fetch spell. Once you have the seed, go right, up, right, and up. This is Erana'a Peace. Go to the tree and take some flowers (do this twice), Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10184 then eat some of the fruit. After eating the fruit, sleep. (If you're a magic user, the rock here has the calm spell. You must go to the rock and cast the open spell. The rock will move and the scroll for the calm spell will be hidden underneath.) After sleeping, go down, then right. There is a extremely large, tough ogre here. You _do not_ want to fight this ogre. When he starts walking toward you, go down and around him, dodge him, and enter the cave. Go up to the bear and feed him. (If you're a magic user, you can cast the calm spell.) "Sneak" so you are now tip-toeing. Go right, then go to the kobold. Take the key from him, and go left. Use the key on the bear, and he will be transformed into the missing baronet! Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-12734 HERO'S QUEST is published and distributed by Sierra On-Line.

CompuServe TEG-10185 HERO'S QUEST Part 2 SURVIVING BABA YAGA AND THE DISPEL POTION Unfortunately, you are still in the cave. Go down and you will immediately be confronted by the ogre. You can fight him if you want, but make sure you have saved your game before doing so. The sane thing to do is escape the battle, and go to the left. Go to the left again, then down four times. Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10185 Go to the centaur and ask him about his farm, the brigands, the brigands' leader, and the warlock. You can also ask him about the healer, harvest time, and crops. Go to the right, then go to the tree, and climb it. This will take many, many attempts (it took me about 21 tries). Once you're up in the tree, look at the nest, then at the ring. Take the ring. Go to the house and knock on the door. Give the ring to the healer. You automatically leave the house, so you have to knock on the door again. Once inside the second time, look at the house and the bird. Give some of the flowers from Erana's Peace to her (do this only once so you'll still have some), then give her all your mushrooms. Buy the undead ! CompuServe TEG-10186 unguent and leave. Go right three times and you will meet the big bad dude from the north. _Do not_ try to fight this guy because he will turn you into mincemeat (just in time for Christmas) in a second. Casting a spell at him won't work, either; even before you complete the spell, you will have endangered yourself. Instead, bargain with him, and give him your fruit. Leave (go to the left once), and rest here for a while (rest as may times as you can). Go down and to the left twice. If you meet a fox, free him from the trap. You are back at the town gates. Go up twice so that you're in front of the castle. The guard will open the gate for you. Now, go up twice to the front entrance to Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10188 the castle doors where you are formally congratulated by the old windbag of a king. Ask him about the curse, Baba Yaga, his daughter, and finally, the baronet (you can tell he was thankful for what you did). Leave the room by going left. Go down then to the right. Go to the window and answer yes to the proposal made by the stable manager. Once you are finished cleaning up the stable (ugh!), go to the left, and down. Yell up to the guard and ask him about the rewards. Go down twice and left once so that you enter the town. Go left and up into the magic shop. Here you can buy either the open spell, the dart spell, or the fetch spell. You should buy at least one of them (the open and/or the dart spell). You can also buy a potion if you want. _Do not_ spend Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10189 all your money as there as more important things left to get. While Zara is here ask, her about the valley, the town, the Aura, magic, Baba Yaga, Erasmus, wizards, the Curse, and the Baron. Leave the shop, go right, then to the upper right. Go to the dry goods store and buy two daggers. Leave the town and go the dryad (from the town gates go down twice and left five times). Respond yes to her question, and take the acorn from the ground. Go right, up twice, then left twice. Talk to the Meeps. Ask the green Meep about magic, and ask it for some green fur. Take the scroll and the fur. Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10190 Go right twice then up three times. Go to the skull and respond yes. Give it the gem and go past the gate. Say the rhyme ("Hut of brown, now sit down"), enter the hut, and go to the pot. When asked, say your name, and respond yes to the next two questions. Go down twice and save your game. Go to the bush in which the goblin is hidden (the upper right), go to the left, and as the bush moves, type in "kill bush." Once you have killed the goblin, search the body. Once you have the money from the goblin, go right. Beware: Now that you have killed the first goblin, whenever you enter, the goblins will want to fight you. You will have to start the fight, but whenever you kill them, they will come back in stronger numbers (e.g., after killing the first goblin, the next time you will have to kill two Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10191 goblins). Go right four times to the healer's hut. Knock on the door and give her the acorn, the water, and the green fur. Ask her about the potion components she needs. Leave and rest outside. Go down three times, left, then up. Throw your daggers at the board. Take your daggers back. Keep doing this until it is night (be careful because your screen will not change; you have to check the time with the Control-T function). Once it is night, climb the town wall, go to the upper right, and to the left to the bar. Go up into the alley and then to the flashing coin. Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10192 When the thieves appear, show them the thief's sign. They will tell you the password. Once you know the password, leave the alley. Go into the bar and go to the Goon. Tell him the password. Listen to the guild master's outrage, then go to Bruno (the guy behind the door) and buy a license, some thief's tools, and an extra pick. Go to the guild master and ask him about the guild, the brigands, and a traitor. Play the dagger game with him. (Note: His accuracy with the dagger increases with the amount you bet.) Once finished, leave by climbing the ladder, and exiting the bar. This is were it gets extremely tricky. You must watch your clock; when it becomes midnight, you must leave the town, and go to the farm on the northern Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10194 side of the town. Use the undead unguent, then go to the left and down. Take the mandrake root which is on the tombstone to your left (it's the red plant coming out of the ground near the tombstone). While you're out here, go back to the screen with the mushrooms (down twice and left three times). Dance for the fairies, then ask for some fairy dust. As soon as you have both the fairy dust and mandrake root, return to the town and make your way back to the bar. From the bar, go left one screen, and go up to the pink house. Pick the door (this will take a few tries). Once inside, "sneak." Get the music box, the candelabra, and the vase. Go back to the desk and search it. Go to the painting, move it, pick the safe, and take the coins. Once you have the coins, close the safe and replace the painting. Leave the house and "walk." Go down and left. Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10195 Pick the door of the blue house. Get the candlesticks. Go to the basket and take it (it has pearls inside). Go to the desk, search it, then go to the couch, and search it. Pet the cat, leave the house, and climb the town wall. Note: Make sure you clean out all of these houses before dawn. Go down once, left twice, up four times, left, and up. Say the rhyme again. Enter the house and answer yes to the witch's question. Congratulations! You have survived Baba Yaga! Press for more !

CompuServe TEG-10197 HERO'S QUEST Part 3 FREEING ELSA AND FULFILLING THE PROPHECY Once Baba Yaga's speech is over, go down, right, down, right twice, and climb the town wall. (If it is daylight, enter the town through the gate.) Go to the thieves guild. Once in the thieves guild, go to Bruno and sell the music box, candelabra, vase, candlesticks, and pearls. Leave the guild and the bar. Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10197 Wait for daybreak. Once dawn has arrived, go back into the alley and give the beggar some money. Ask about the brigands, thieves, the bar, and dragon breath, then leave the alley. Go to the healer's house and give her the fairy dust. Go out, then reenter and get the dispel potion. Go back to the town gate and wait for midday. Once it is midday, from the town gate go down once (if you're at the healer's house when midday arrives, go down twice), then go to your left. Bruno and Brutus should be here, but it is a slightly random thing. Listen to what they say. If you can, kill Brutus with long-range weapons like thrown daggers and the dart spell. If you cannot kill Brutus this way, go down then up quickly...very _quickly_. If Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10199 you don't, you will be killed by Bruno. Kill Brutus. Once he is dead, search his body and take the key. Next, go down, left, up twice, right twice, then down. Bruno should be here. Go up to him and buy some information about the thieves guild, the Baron, and Baba Yaga. When you leave, he should say something about the dragon breath, and you should gain two points. Go down twice, left three times, and down one more time. Go to the left of the screen and search the rocks. Use the key on the door, then open it. Go forward slightly (but not much!) and say Hiden Goseke. The troll should move back. Enter the cave, go left, down, then right. Exit the screen on the lower right cave. Do ! CompuServe TEG-10200 not go left! Here you should cast the calm spell then go to the gate. Either pick the door, or cast an open spell. Once it's unlocked, open the gate, and go in. This is the trap room. Go to the far left and go forward. Cross the chasm using the right-hand plank (the one with a square on it). Once you have crossed the chasm, go to the two stacks. Be careful! Once you are close to the stacks, go in between them by moving DIAGONALLY. Go to the door and open it. This is a time-pressure event, so go quickly. First, close and lock the door. Then, go to the chair by the door (upper right side), and "use" the chair to Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10201 block the door. Go to the candelabra and wait for some of the brigands to enter. Once they are near the table, "use" the candelabra to block their path. Go to the lower part of the table and wait. Once they start to move (wait until the second or third one has started to move), "use" the rope, and do your Tarzan impression. When this is finished, open the door and meet ME. This is the warlock. Ask him about the brigands, the mirror, Elsa, Toro, the enchantment, and a dispel potion. Also you can ask him about himself, the search for Elsa, and the Baron. When you start moving, he disappears using his private exit. This maze is actually very easy. First, go right and up. Then, go left and Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10202 through the door. When you come out, go down and right through the next door. Pull the chain after you appear by the doorway. Go back, left, then up through the door. Go up to the door there, and "open" it. _Quickly_ go back or to your left. Once the board has fallen, go to the door and open it. Here you meet Elsa. Once you see her and she has challenged you, use the dispel potion on her. She and Elsa escape into the wild, blue yonder. Get the healing potions and the mirror. Go to your right and enter the caves again. Leave the caves and go to Baba Yaga's hut (up five times, left, then up again). Enter the hut, but this time use the mirror. You have done it: You have completed the prophecy! Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10203 HERO'S QUEST is published and distributed by Sierra On-Line, Inc.

CompuServe TEG-10205 HERO'S QUEST Part 4 ADDITIONAL ENCOUNTERS AND ITEMS 1. The walkthru didn't cover the encounter with Erasmus. This was omitted because it is not really useful for thieves. But this is the only way to get Razzle Dazzle. When you meet Erasmus, you can ask him about magic, the Aura, and wizards. Once you win against him, he gives you the spell. When you have it, you Press for more ! CompuServe TEG-10205 can leave. 2. The walkthru doesn't return a troll's beard or a cheetaur's claw to the healer. Doing so is worth a couple of points. 3. A fighter should kill one (at least) of every type of creature. 4. Sleep with the hermit. This is fun. 5. Kill the Ogre. This is hard, but fun to try. Hint: Try attacking him first with long-range weapons, and fight him for a while, then escape and drink some potions. Use some more dart spells on him, then kill him during the fight.
