INFIDEL by Infocom
|
||
==========================================================================
|
||
This is really one of infocom's easiest games to date... and with a
|
||
somewhat disappointing ending. But it is still an infocom product and
|
||
that means first rate adventuring! When you start off, you have been
|
||
left in your tent by your muntinous workers. a crate is airdropped as
|
||
you start out, but all that is in there is a navigation box that you
|
||
need to locate the proper area to dig for the pyramid... of course this
|
||
area is spelled out on the map that comes with the game package (shades
|
||
of starcross) but don't worry... you don't need the crate's contents if
|
||
you follow this step by step tutorial
|
||
|
||
TO BEGIN: Get up, S, S, get rock and pack and matches, W, W, get axe and
|
||
shovel, E, E, S, S, open sack, put pack and matches and axe in sack, get
|
||
canteen, get sack, N, N, N, N, break lock with rock, get lock, drop lock
|
||
and rock, open trunk, get beef and map, S, W, W, drink, open canteen,
|
||
fill canteen, close canteen, E, E, E, S, S, E, E, dig in sand, again,
|
||
again, again, again, unfold map, put cube in opening, drop map and
|
||
shovel, D
|
||
|
||
==> You are now in the pyramid and ready to explore. You first need to
|
||
eat, drink and light the torch, so: drop sack, eat beef, open canteen,
|
||
drink, close canteen, drop canteen, get rope, tie rope to altar, throw
|
||
rope north, get torch and jar and matches, open jar, pour liquid on
|
||
torch, close jar, light match, light torch, put matchbook and jar in
|
||
sack, get sack, D
|
||
|
||
==> OK, here is where you rack up alot of points... if you're interested
|
||
in how the later puzzles are solved, note what jewel is found in which
|
||
room (NW, SW, SE, NE) and also study the hieroglyphics in each room. If
|
||
you're just out to solve this bugger, then just keep following these
|
||
steps: push statue, get head, push statue NW, drop head, SE, SE, SE, get
|
||
opal, NW, NW, NW, get head, push statue SE, again, drop head, NW, NW,
|
||
NW, get diamond, SE, SE, SE, get head, push statue NW, push statue NE,
|
||
drop head, SW, SW, SW, get emerald, NE, NE, NE, get head, push statue
|
||
SW, again, drop head, NE, NE, NE, get ruby, SW, SW, U, drop all but
|
||
torch
|
||
|
||
==> Whew! Well that was a pain. On to more interesting stuff: S, D, NE,
|
||
NW, N, E, D, W, put torch in knothole, get shim, drop shim, push up
|
||
beam, get torch, E, U, W, get beam, S, W, N, E, N, D, D, N, N, E, S, get
|
||
silver chalice, N, W, W, S, get golden chalice, N, E, S, S, U, U, S, W,
|
||
S, E, SE, SW, U, U, put ruby and diamond and emerald and opal in sack,
|
||
get sack, W, S
|
||
|
||
==> Now you need to remove the right combination of bricks from this
|
||
panel which will open the secret doorway. this combination is revealed
|
||
in the papyrus scroll found on board the barge (study those
|
||
hieroglyphics carefully!) get first brick, drop first brick, get third
|
||
brick, drop third brick, get fifth brick, drop fifth brick
|
||
|
||
==> And now for the final sets of puzzles! E, N, D, drop sack, get axe,
|
||
break plaster with axe, get sack, W, W, W, put beam in niches, stand on
|
||
beam, break plaster with axe, open door, W, get beam, S, put beam in
|
||
doorway, open door, W, drop sack
|
||
|
||
==> OK, now you must put the proper jewel clusters in the proper holes
|
||
on the slab. the room direction in which you found the jewel determines
|
||
which corner you put it on the slab: put diamond in first hole, put ruby
|
||
in second hole, put emerald in third hole, put opal in fourth hole, open
|
||
slab, get book
|
||
|
||
==> Now's a good time to replenish your torch, so: get jar, open jar,
|
||
pour liquid on torch, drop jar, get sack, E, get beam, N, N, put beam
|
||
under lintel, break seal with axe, drop axe, open door, N, E, put silver
|
||
chalice on left, put golden chalice on right, drop sack, put pack in
|
||
silver chalice, get scarab, W, put book in large recess, put scarab in
|
||
small recess
|
||
|
||
==> Reading the book (using the spatula), and examining both the book
|
||
and the scarab gave the clues to the above actions with the book and
|
||
scarab. now, you must unlock the statues in a particular order. the clue
|
||
to that order was in the headings to the hieroglyphics in each of the
|
||
four rooms of the gods. the order is: turn neith, turn selkis, turn
|
||
isis, turn nephthys, open sarcophagus
|
||
|
||
==> You've done it! But you're also dead. OK, interesting ending, huh?
|
||
Not still, somehow very unsatisfying. Oh well, at least it's different!
