Simon the Sorcerer 3D Walkthrough

Game Play: The game
is by keyboard manipulation and the mouse can be used only in the
Spell book. Read the manual for more complete explanations. The Start
Menu has the Start game, Install/Reinstall, Uninstall, Setup and Exit.
The setup menu shows the video, sound and keyboard options. The default
keyboard controls are: Movement – direction arrows, Action – Ctrl
or enter, Use item – Alt, Examine – X, Crouch – Z, Lookaround – Tab,
Walk/run – Shift, Sprint – Caps Lock, Cycle inventory – C and Open
spell book/inventory – Spacebar. When the spacebar is pressed the
display shows 3 boxes on the right (G – groat Simon is carrying,
Eye icon – what Simon is looking at and Hand icon – what Simon is
carrying at the moment). To get the main menu for the game during
the opening sequence press ESC and not the space bar. A selection
will appear and choose to load game from this selection or a possible
glitch might happen. The Spell book is on the left of the screen and
has the Disk options (load, save or quit), Inventory and Game
options (Graphic – color, resolution, dithering and gamma control;
Sound – adjusts various sound options and other options (subtitles).
To combine objects, place one item in the hand icon and then double
click the mouse on the combining item in inventory. Pressing Esc returns
to the main screen of the options selected. Pressing any keyboard
control presently used toggles it back to the default – walk/run or
if the spacebar is toggled back to the game. There are lifepads scattered
around whenever a dangerous action might cause Simon to die and restores
him to life. The map is shown when Simon rides a Rainbird and it will
land on a glowing area that Simon looks at. There are telephone booths
also scattered about for rapid transport to another place shown by
a zone map. Some of the booths are broken shown by red dots and when
seen in the game have a red x taped on it. Rainbirds do not fly at
nights and only in open space. Reinstalling DirectX 8.1 from the official
Microsoft site might help with glitches in the game.

A short outline of the previous
2 Simon adventures is explained. The present adventure starts with
Runt showing his latest accomplishment (a new body for Sordid) to
Sordid who is in Simon’s body. Sordid transfers to the new body. Runt
and Sordid hunt for the Ancient One. The next scene shows a scantily
clad woman dragging Simon’s body to the top of a temple pyramid. Calypso,
the Head priest and another priest are also present. Simon’s body
is placed in the hole. His soul (in a bottle carried by Calypso) is
joined to his body. It takes 7 days and nights for the joining to
happen. If successful, Simon will still have to prove himself if he
is worthy of the gift. Calypso and the woman go back to Poliganis.

Chapter 1 – To Complete
the Joining of Simon’s Body and Soul

Inside the Temple of Life

Chamber of Rebirth –
Simon wakes up in the Chamber of Rebirth. Go to the lever on the right
pillar by the door. The fairy Godmother hired by Calypso from the
Godmother agency appears. She will guide you through the game manipulations.
Look at lever until it is shown under the eye icon on the top right,
then press the action key (ctrl). The door opens.

Hallway – Turn
to hallway on top of screen and go to the right. A life pad with an
Ankh icon on it is seen and is explained by the fairy godmother (something
dangerous is about to happen). Go back down to the hallway until the
end, turn left and forward to the next corner. On the right is wall
panel with a face in the center and gems in 3 corners of its frame.
Get (Ctrl) the blue, green and yellow gems. The
fairy godmother appears to explain about inventory and spell book.
Double clicking the left mouse button also can be done as “use item”
button. Go forward until the next corner, left, forward pass a sarcophagus
and forward to the opening at the end of the hall. Enter.

Chamber of Wisdom –
As soon as you enter, a Golem drops from the ceiling. He prevents
you from getting the object on a stand at the center of the room.
A red ray shoots out from a head on one wall passing the red gem on
the golem’s head. There are 3 more heads similar to that one around
the room. Look at them and note that they have a space in their mouths
for something. Across the door you entered in is a locked door with
a keyhole in the left frame of the door

How to neutralize the
golem: Look at the color on the golem’s head
and their sequence. Hmm. Place the gems in the heads’ mouth around
the room in the same order as that of the golem’s head. Since the
red gem is already in place, place (Alt) the green
gem (in hand in inventory) to the right head. Go pass the locked
door, then yellow gem and then blue gem. Different
colored rays join at one point. Move towards the door and then forward
to entice the golem to catch you until the golem’s head hit the
center of the joining of the rays of light. The golem falls down
and disappears.

Get (Ctrl) the key on
the center stand. Use (Alt) the key on the keyhole and the door will
open. Enter and see another life pad.

Hallway – The fairy
godmother appears to explain about run and sprint controls. Sprint
down the hallway and a boulder will drop from the ceiling and will
flatten you if you are not fast enough.

How to escape the boulder:
Sprint (Caps lock and arrow keys) forward to the end of the
hallway, turn left, sprint forward and turn left
to an open dimly lit doorway just before the end of the hall. Toggle/press
Caps lock to go back to walk/run. Walk forward.

Chamber of no walkway/lava
pit – Fairy godmother appears to explain about lookaround controls
(Tab). Lookaround and down at the pit at the center of the chamber.
See a lighted path crisscrossing through to the other side. Position
Simon in front of the lighted path and walk forward. Simon
will stop whenever the path ends. Then turn left, forward,
right, forward, left, right and forward to the other side.
Enter the doorway, forward, right and forward to the next corner.

The fairy godmother appears
and explains about crouch/crawl (Z) control and leaves after warning
of “Don’t let the eye see you”. Another life pad is seen at the corner.
Go to the door and the door opens. Bats fly out. Enter.

The Eye Room – The chamber
has a giant Eye on a head mural at the far wall. The Eye roams around
and will zap you dead if it sees you.

How to evade the Eye:
Crawl (Z), turn a little to the right, forward to
hide behind the pillar. Turn a little to the right and see a lever
on the wall. Crawl right to the wall, turn left and
crawl forward keeping by the wall until hidden behind a fallen
pillar. Turn right and toggle crawl (press Z) to stand up. Pull
lever (Ctrl) and immediately crouch down. The door at the far
corner opens. Turn around to center of chamber and crawl
forward to pillar base in front of the Eye. With the pillar
base in front of you, turn a little to the left and see the
opening at the left corner of the chamber, crawl towards
the opening and hide behind debris at the left of the Eye. Turn
around and see the open doorway. Enter and toggle crouch.

Go forward until closed door,
look at door for Simon to say “it looks final” (in my game, if I didn’t
have him say this, the game goes to the main menu) and press action
(Ctrl).

Outside of Temple

Forward to outside of temple.
Notice that Simon’s body flickers from solid to transparent. Move
forward and turn right at path and forward to an open raised temple
stand with the sitting High Priest.

High Priest – Talk to
the High Priest. He explains about the process of rejoining of the
body and soul that was separated, not dead. To be complete or solid,
a sacred peach has to be eaten. The peach tree absorbs excess life
force to make a peach. The peach has to be ripe and dropped from the
tree – not picked before its time. If the peach is picked before its
time, untimely death of a person will occur. The sacrificed person’s
life force will fill the space left by the peach. The explanation
about the peach triggers the peach tree to show a peach hanging down
from the tree.

The High Priest gives the letter
from Calypso. Calypso wants you to meet him in Poliganis and explains
about the scantily clad woman that helped him. He sends 20 groats.
After you have eaten the peach, he wants you to meet the woman at
the North Gate of Poliganis. The High priest gives the 20 groats
and directions to Poliganis.

Peach Tree – Go down
the steps, forward and left to the sacred tree. See the hanging peach
that you cannot reach. Go back down, left and see steps to the
top of the pyramid.

Top of pyramid – Climb
the pyramid. Talk to the bell keeper. The ringing of the soul bell
guides the souls of the dead to the peach tree. Choker cola keeps
him awake. Go the left side of the telescope. Pick the telescope up
and get magnifying lens and the telescope tube. Go down
and left to “Souvenirs” sign.

Tomb Trader – Enter
the open entryway. Talk to the seller at the store and buy a Choker
Cola for 5 groats. Go to the grounds. See a vandalized telephone
booth at the far left corner of the temple grounds (it will be fixed
later).

Temple Housing – Enter
the open doorway at left of the telephone booth. Go forward to the
end of the compound and see a big hut/barn. Enter the big door. Turn
left, forward and find a contraption with a ramp. At the side is a
lever and inside the contraption is a sign that says “Cow here”. Pull
the lever and see the treadmill move. Exit the barn property.

Judas in Pool of Punishment
– Turn right, forward pass the cart and see Judas, a priest standing
at the center of the pool. Walk close to him and end up standing in
the pool also. Automatically talk to Judas. He is miserable and is
punished because of a very grievous sin that he confessed. He picked
a peach with his chakara before it was ripe. Take note where Judas
stood to pick the peach with the chakara . Exhaust all dialogue with
him. He explains how to use the chakara and tells where the chakara
is hidden – in Judas’ cabin, under Nun Magazine hidden under the bed.
Ask to take the chakara off his hands. Exit the pool, turn right and
forward to the hut close to the wall and small pond.

How to get the Chakara:
Open the door (will not open until Judas tells you where the chakara
is). Stand on the left side of the bed close to the wall, crouch,
lookaround down and get (Ctrl) the Nun’s magazine and will
automatically get the chakara/yoyo also. Fairy godmother
appears to explain how to use the chakara and tells you to steal
the peach. Exit to the Temple grounds and go to the Peach tree.

Peach Tree –

How to get the Peach:
Stand to the right side of the tree, turn to face it (like Judas).
Go as close to the hanging peach. Look up to it. Place the chakara
in the “in hand” box by selecting it in inventory. Press Alt to
equip the chakara, look/aim at the peach and press Action (Ctrl)
key to do the act. The peach falls on the ground. Toggle Alt. Press
Ctrl to pick up the peach. Eat the peach and see a cut scene that
shows a ninja die when a tree falls on him. The woodworms cut the
tree down. Now, Simon is solid again. Go down and see the high priest.

High Priest – Talk to
him about having eaten a peach and is ready to leave. You can not
bring yourself to confess. Exit the temple after informing the Priest
Guard that you have eaten a peach.

Chapter 2 – To Get to
Poliganis

To get to Poliganis, the High
priest said to follow the sign posts until the North Bridge. Let us
the check the places around the route also. Go past the sign post,
towards Lake Wotthayhe.

It’s a Beach – At the
beach by Lake Wotthayhe, there is telephone booth. If you enter the
phone booth, you will access the map, click on any green area and
will be transported there. The black spots are important places close
by. At the beach area, there is a dock with boxes, diving ramp and
a changing room. There is also a Rainbird landing pad on the ground.
Go back towards the sign post to walk (as described below) or you
can go via the phone booth straight to Completely Safe Bridge Over
A Deadly Gorge and work your way down.

Warning Sign – Go forward
to the sign post. Take the road to Poliganis and forward until the
warning sign – “Beware of the woodworm – warning about incredible
dangers to woodworm attacks “. Pick up the warning sign eaten
by the woodworm.

Forward to next sign post,
turn right, forward, climb the mountain until the big tree at the
cross road. There are 4 possible paths here – 2 on each side. Let
us check some of the places. Take the lower left ramp.

Fat Bloke – Go forward
and enter the gate on the left. Go behind the fat bloke with hat and
pick his back pocket to get the butterfly book. Face and talk
to him. Ask the Entomologist what is in it for you. He will pay for
butterflies collected. He gives you his net and specimen
jar and says that the bigger and brighter the butterflies, the
more expensive it is. Exit the field. Turn left and go forward.

Sleeping Foliage – The
purple flowers on the right of the road snores. There is a rainbird
landing pad close by. The path goes through a tunnel under the mountain.
Let us check those places later. Turn around and pass the sleeping
foliage, turn left and pass to a gated opening.

Lonely Hut – Go forward
and see the hut, outhouse and telephone booth. The hut is locked and
there are cola cans scattered outside. There is a road to the upper
right that will lead back to the crossroad by the tree.

Butterfly Meadow – Go
in the gated opening across the road by the crossroad tree.

How to catch butterflies:
Place the net on hand, press Alt to equip yourself and Ctrl to swing
it when a butterfly is seen. Swing the net and see the path the
net takes. Then when a butterfly is seen, wait for the butterfly
to be close to where the swing path of the net is before pressing
Ctrl. Walk back and forth in the meadow close to the gate to look
for butterflies.

When you catch a butterfly,
go back to the Fat Bloke. Talk to him and he will pay you for the
butterflies. A yellow and red Peacock is 10 groats, bright
brown Viceroy is 2 groats, Painted Lady for 20 groats and blue Adonis
is 4 groats. He wants you to catch a Purple Emperor. Go back to the
meadow and try to catch a Purple Emperor. Look at the book and read
that the most expensive butterfly is the Purple Emperor worth at least
250 groats (might be a trigger for the appearance of Purple Emperor).
Finally, catch the Purple Emperor and go back to the entomologist.
He will try to cheat you on the price but since you read the price
book, you get 250 groats for the butterfly. Go back to the
crossroad.

Inbred Yokel (and COW!)
– Continue to the upper right path on the crossroad by the tree. Enter
a gated opening to the right and meet the yokel and Daisy. There is
also a phone booth here. Talk to the yokel twice. He is waiting for
a witch to come along to give him magic beans in exchange for Daisy,
a fine milking cow. He said if you see a witch to get him some beans
and Daisy will be yours. There is another exit that goes to the butterfly
meadow. Exit back to the main road.

Volcano Photopoint –
Go forward and then enter a gated opening on the left. There is a
phone booth here also. Close to the fence under the volcano, lookaround
up and see a rainbird flying. Lookaround down shows the water flowing
from the waterfall to the left. Exit and turn left.

Go forward; pass a clearing
to the Waterfalls on the left, the Random Pile of Rocks on the right
and a clearing to the right. A sound is heard when you enter the enclosed/walled
road. Go back to the clearing now on the left side. Forward and left
to an open gate.

Large Hole – Enter and
forward to the hole at the middle of the enclosed clearing. See a
treasure hunter stuck down the hole. Exhaust the dialogue. He is looking
for the Treasure of Fred the Pirate. He is carrying a metal detector.

To use the chakara to
help him: Place the chakara on hand. Press
Alt to equip it, look down and aim for the inner left hand (by thumb)
of the treasure hunter and then Ctrl to use it. You bring up the
metal detector. The fairy godmother appears to explain how
to use the metal detector. Go back out the area and turn right.

Random Pile of Rocks
– Go back out to the main road and turn left back towards the Random
Pile of Rocks.

To get the treasure:
Place the metal detector in hand and press Alt. The metal detector
starts to ding and the sound gets faster at the center of Random
Pile of Rocks. When Simon finds the area, lookaround/tab down and
you will see a hexagon. Place the warning sign on hand, check if
the hexagon is in the eye icon box and use/press Alt the makeshift
shovel/warning sign. The sign breaks, leaving a stick. The
chest recovered is full of tarnished washers. In inventory,
place the washer in hand and then double click the Choker cola to
get shiny washers and empty can of Choker Cola. Go
back to the path by the Large Hole.

Tilled Field – Pass
the opening to the Large Hole; go forward until a tilled brown field
with some stacked hay is found. Use the metal detector by placing
the metal detector in hand and press Alt. Use the metal detector around
the field and find some 22 groats dropped by somebody. The
metal detector pings the closer you get to metal and eventually Simon
will automatically put it away when the treasure is found. Go back
out of the tilled field, turn right and forward.

Reservoir Control Hut
– See a telephone booth and a hut with a dwarfish warning sign in
front of it. Climb up and see a locked door. Climb up the ladder and
see a stuck trap door. There is also a rope that is attached from
a wooden contraption down into the hut. Go back down and down the
hillside. See the ninja that died under a fallen tree when you picked
the pear back at the temple. Walk forward and see a cave that can
not be entered at the side of the mountain. Go straight to the road.

S.I.G.N. – A telephone
booth and a golem post is seen at the crossroad. The road to the left
goes to the road by the Random Pile of Rocks. The golem post is Signal
Integrated Golem Narrative – it directs travelers
to where they want to go. He takes water and mineral through his roots
but has a craving for sweet, sweet liquor – Whiskey. He asks for a
drink. Sorry! Turn left and up the road to the bridge.

Completely Safe Bridge Over
A Deadly Gorge – There is a rainbird landing pad and across the
way, a phone booth. Go to the start of the bridge. The bridge is gone.
Talk to the man on the other side. He, the Count wants to cross because
of the competition in Acre Gap. He wants the Gnome Firing Trophy and
will help you cross the gorge if you can get it for him. The competition
ends at sunset.

Time to use the phone booth.
Enter and select using the mouse, Lonely Hut from the map. Turn around
and exit through the gated opening (not the road) to get to the sleeping
foliage. Turn right, go forward, down the tunnel and outside to the
clearing by the river.

Dungnomin’ Tree – Walk
around and notice bull’s-eye on trees. Look up at the suspended walkways
and see gnomes crossing. There must be a gnome village close by.

Walk by the fence on the right
and see 3 colored geometric shaped box on the ground. One of them
states “Chase Me”. Down below is a pink clearing of the Strangely
Pink? destination on the map.

Candies – You have
7 seconds to sprint from candies to the next candies and run over
them until you reach the Strangely Pink? area. Gain another 7 seconds
every time you sprint over candies.

Strangely Pink?/Candy Cottage
– Enter the yummy door. A message on the witch’s answering machine
states not to take anything out of the house that you didn’t come
in with. Look at the oven and cauldron. Go to the corner table and
read the spell book. The recipe for making Magic Beans is mix a handful
of kidney beans, some water, sugar, vegetable extract and the sweat
of a frog. Go around to the other side of the room to a spinning wheel.
Touch the needle, prick your finger and falls under a sleeping beauty
spell.

You can hear somebody pass
through thorn bushes, come in and finds a damsel in distress and kisses
her awake. Oops! It’s you being kissed awake by the Hero – Prince
Valiant. He wants a needle because he tore his clothes going through
the thorn bushes. Simon gives him the needle he pricked himself with
and Prince Valiant leaves the cottage. Exit the house and see Prince
Valiant turned to a frog. The witch was serious about not taking anything
out of her house – the needle you gave changed him. Look at Prince
Valiant’s clothes on the walkway and pick up the needle still
coated with sleeping potion. The Strangely Pink? place in the map
changes to Candy Cottage. Turn right to Hint Rock.

Hint Rock – Go forward
until the big Hint rock that nearly blocks the path. Turn to the shallow
water on the river, turn right and wade to the green clearing surrounded
by the mountains.

Nearly secret area –
There is another telephone booth here. Go forward to a cave under
the mountain and hear somebody hammering. Talk to the pile of rocks.
The Prince of dwarves asks a favor – he wants someone to light his
dynamite for him since he lost his tinderbox. The fuse on the dynamite
is pushed in between the pile of rocks.

To light the fuse:
Place the magnifying glass on hand and then use it on the dynamite.
The sun rays pass the lens and lights the fuse of the dynamite.

The rock pile explodes and
the dwarf prince comes out. He is very hungry. He wants fish, boiled
preferably. He will give you Hammor, his hammer if you feed him. He
tells you to help yourself to his supply inside the cave. Enter the
cave and pick up a stick of dynamite. Talk to the Dwarf prince
about everything. He needs a hero to help rescue his people enslaved
by Sodinell, the dragon when the dwarves accidentally mined to his
lair. Use the phone booth. The hint rock disappears from the map and
the nearly secret area appears on it. Select It’s a Beach as destination.

It’s a Beach – Climb
the diving board ladder. As soon as you reach the top, turn around
and see the sun rays.

To catch a fish:
In inventory, place dynamite in hand. With the mouse, double click
on magnifying lens to make lit dynamite. Place lit
dynamite in hand and then double click specimen jar combining them
into specimen jar with lit dynamite. Go to the end of the
diving board and use specimen jar with lit dynamite. No alive fish
is seen anywhere. It explodes in the water and fish floats dead.
Go down to the water and pick up boiled fish cooked by dynamite.

Use the phone booth to go back
to the dwarf prince at Nearly Secret Area.

Nearly Secret Area –
Give the Prince the boiled fish. He is grateful enough to extend a
welcome to his underground home. He gives you the hammer, Hammor.
When the hammer is raised, thunder is heard (Thor?). Use the
phone booth to Pointless Bridge or walk back pass the Candy Cottage
to the very end.

Pointless Bridge – Exit
the phone booth and go forward close to the reservoir with the 2 trees
behind and right of you. Use the metal detector. Find 20 groats.
Check out the bridge behind the phone booth. Look at Mysterious Isle
just across the water between the bridge and the mainland. Go
back to the phone booth and select Acre Gap or walk back towards Candy
Cottage and turn right at the Gap between the hillocks.

Acre Gap – Go forward
and see a phone booth. Read the sign on the left post about the 5th
Annual Gnome Firing Contest. Go forward through the lane to the competition
area. Enter the white tent and talk to the nasty Lord Fnar in a Robin
Hood outfit. Enter the next brown tent and talk to the man with the
hat, Fragmaster. Go to the firing area and watch the competition.
Lord Fwahnah/Fnar (too long a name to write down) is leading with
a score of 9 and the Fragmaster has a score of 8.

Go to the big red tent. Look
at the Annual Gnome First Prize Trophy. Try picking it up and an alarm
is sounded. Talk to the man writing on the desk. Join the competition
and pay the 50 groats registration fee. He explains the rules. He
gives you a bowl for the free Chili in the tent. You have to
supply your own gnome and you can catch one from the village close
by. You are allowed to fire anyway you want (Simon says like a dynamite
powered telescope tube), just don’t pass the white line. To win, you
must hit the bull’s-eye or as close to it by the end of the day. Gnomes
are attracted to shiny objects. Go to the big pot of chili and help
yourself. Simon eats the chili but spits out the kidney beans.
Go to the phone booth outside and select Temple of Life.

Temple of Life – Go
to the Tomb Trader and return the empty can of Choker Cola and get
1 groat refund. Buy another can of Choker Cola. Climb
the pyramid to the bell keeper. Place the poisoned needle on hand.
Use (Alt) the poisoned needle on bell keeper. He drops to sleep and
falls in the hole. Pick up the bell. Go back to the phone booth
and select Candy Cottage.

Candy Cottage – Enter
the cottage. Place the frog in the oven to get a sweaty frog.
Go up the ramp and place the sweaty frog (Simon squeezes the sweat
out of the frog to the cauldron), choker cola and kidney beans in
the cauldron. Poof! The magic beans are in inventory. Exit
the house, use the phone booth to go to the Inbred Yokel.

Inbred Yokel (and COW!)
– Give the magic beans to the yokel. He throws it on the ground and
grows a bean plant. The Yokel tells Daisy to go to the temple. Go
to the phone booth and select Temple.

Temple of Life – Go
to the barn at the Temple Housing area. Go to the weird contraption
and find Daisy inside the machine. Press the lever in the contraption.
Daisy gets milked and the machine processed it to produce butter that
goes out the slot by the lever. Pick butter up. Go back to
the phone booth and select Dungnomin’ Tree.

Dungnomin’ Tree – Walk
to the biggest tree and look at the door. Crouch (Z) before you open
door. Crawl forward to the heart of the tree and see little goblin
houses. Go to the mushroom house on the right and talk to the goblin.
All the goblins hide.

To catch a goblin:
Place washer cleaned with cola on hand. Use (Alt) sparkling clean
washer on mushroom house to entice the shiny object loving goblin.
A goblin walks out of the house and starts picking up the scattered
washers. Place the bell on hand from the temple. Use (Alt) bell
on goblin. If you look in the bell now, the goblin will bite
you and escape. Place the hammer, Hammor on hand and use (Alt) it
on the bell with the goblin inside. The vibrating gnome is
now in inventory. Crouch (Z) and exit. Go to the phone booth and
select Acre Gap.

Acre Gap – Time to win
the trophy.

Assembling the Firing
equipment: Place the goblin in the telescope
but would not go in. We need to grease him up to fit inside. Use
(double click) butter on gnome in hand to get greasy gnome.
Place telescope in hand. Use (double click) dynamite on telescope
to get a telescope with a stick of dynamite in one end (small
hole). Use (double click) greased goblin on telescope with a stick
of dynamite in one end in hand to get a telescope tube
with a stick of dynamite in one end and a vibrating buttered gnome
in the other.

Go to the firing area and you
will be introduced as the next contestant. Light up the dynamite by
using (double click) the magnifying glass on telescope tube with a
stick of dynamite in one end and a vibrating buttered gnome in the
other. Watch Simon win by default and be given the trophy.
All the tents disappear. Go to the phone booth and select Completely
Safe Bridge Over A Deadly Gorge.

Completely Safe Bridge Over
A Deadly Gorge – Talk to the Count. He talks you to throwing the
trophy to him across the gorge. As for helping you cross, he shoots
a rope to one of the pillars framing the life pad. Look at the thin
piece of string spanning a large ravine. Guess, we have to tight rope
across. Here goes!

To tight rope:
Get (Alt) pole/stick and then use (Ctrl) the rope when Simon bends
to look at the rope. Keep Simon in balance using the right and left
keys. In the first part of the puzzle, Simon faces you, so that
his movements will be in reverse of the keys. If he tilts to the
right, we have to bring him to the left and the default keys will
be the same direction as to where he tilts. So in the first part
of the puzzle use the left keys when he tilts to the left and the
right keys when he tilts to the right. It might be helpful to some
gamers to turn the keyboard around during this part and use the
usual key set up. The movement on the rope is like walking, left,
right, left, right, etc. Wait for Simon’s head to tilt to one side
before bringing him back to center. Partway, the view changes to
have Simon facing as you are and the left and right keys will work
in the regular directions. Now, if Simon tilts to the right, use
the left key to bring him back to the center and the right key when
he tilts to the left.

Glad that is over with! Walk
down the tunnel to get to Poliganis.

Chapter 3 – To Find Swampy

POLIGANIS

Upon entering the North Gate
of Poliganis, meet Melissa Leg, the scantily clad friend of Calypso.
She brings you to the Inn where Calypso has a private room at the

Talk to the Salesman and he gives you a vacuum cleaner pamphlet.
Place the pamphlet on hand and press Alt to read the pamphlet – The

Walk to the back of the church and see another door that goes to the
Memorial Room. Across the crypt door is the gate to the street.
Exit and continue walking until you see a cheese wagon.

Mr. Cheese Wagon – Follow
the big open topped cheese wagon and step in front of it. Talk to
Mr. Cheese and eventually he will give you a wedge of cheese.
Follow him to see where he goes. He stops at the Cheesy Bros. in the
Warehouse area. Watch the cheese wagon man get money for not delivering
his cheese to the Cheesy Bros. because there is too much cheese already.
Follow Mr. Cheese drive around town from Warehouse area to the Justice
Square where he turns around and goes back to the Cheesy Bros. to
get more money.

Justice Square:
Allotment – Take the lane off the square at the right side and
see vegetable gardens and a green shed. In front of the green shed
is a pot of varnish.

Pond – Look at the duck swimming in the pond and get 2 groats
from the pond, another source of money. There is a female in stocks
and she looks familiar. Remember Goldilocks from Simon the Sorcerer
2. She has half of a treasure map won in a seedy tavern in her bra.
After showing your full map to her, she will split the treasure with
you for the full map. She wants to be freed and can get you into MucSwampy’s.
The keys are in the sheriff’s office.

Sheriff’s office
- Enter the office and see the sheriff snoring. The keys are in the
metal locker behind him. Walk carefully so as not to wake him. Traverse
carefully one step at a time pass the empty cans of Choker Cola and
the file cabinet on the left to the metal locker on wall. Open the
metal locker but it squeaks. Use butter on the locker hinges and open
the locker door. Pick up the keys. If you wake the Sheriff
up, he will just send you out of the office until he finally sends
you to lock yourself in the cell, which of course you leave open.
Go back out and free Goldilocks. She will meet you at MucSwampy’s.
Use the phone booth to go MucSwampy’s.

MucSwampy’s – Meet Goldilocks
coming out of MucSwampy’s. Enter the now accessible restaurant. Look
at the sachets of vinegar on the counter. Enter the red door behind
the counter. Go pass the kitchen and enter the door marked “private”.
Go to the desk and crouch. Press the red button marked “sekret”. A
secret door open. Take the lift down. Look at the papers on the table
in the swamp room and see “housing development in the swamp” pamphlets
and housing plans. Swampy is now an activist and has gone to the swamp
to stop the housing development. Exit back to the restaurant proper.

A very fat wizard in green
orders swampy burger with no sesame seeds in the bun, worm fries and
swamp shakes. Simon picks the sesame seeds out. Exit the restaurant.
Let us continue to check the town.

Warehouse Area –
Adventure Soft Warehouse – Enter the fenced warehouse on the
right before the circle. Look in the boxes of Feebles Files outside
the building. Get Feebles File CD aka ashtray.
Cheesy Bros. Warehouse – Enter and see boxes and boxes of cheese.
Follow the map to Back Alley.

Back alley – Enter
the opening on the wood fence and see several dumpsters. Pick up the
cat inside the overturned dumpster at the end of the alley.
The alley to the north is blocked by a dog in wheels.
To see the dumpster – position Simon to stand by the right
corner of the dumpster close to the dog. Open dumpster and see a trainer/shoe
in there. Use the trainer on dog and automatically trap the dog in
the dumpster. Get a shoelace in inventory. Go forward and turn
right.

Manhole – Remove the
manhole cover and go down. Walk to the door and knock. They want you
to knock the password to be allowed in. Fairy godmother appears to
tell you how to enter the password. Press action key and then press
action keys again to start the password sequence. What password? Go
back up and talk to the kids at the end of the alley. They will tell
you the password for the secret room if you give them a new game that
involves the use of a ball. Look up the wall and see an open window.
Find a phone booth and go to Magic Square.

Magic Square:
Wizard Guild – Notice that every time you try to enter Eight
Wander, it turns to the golden ornate door of the Wizard Guild. Enter
and talk to the Wizard. He says that you need someone to sponsor you
as apprentice. South Gate – There are 3
roads going out of the Wizard Square, one to go back to town, one
to a closed gate and one to the South Gate. Talk to the 2 orcs at
the South Gate and find out that you need to have proper papers to
leave. The Big Wiz, Sordid is looking for the magical boots. Go back
to Dog and Fruit Inn.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Enter the bar. The door at the other end of the room goes to a corridor,
then Games Room, Beer Garden and upstairs to the bedrooms.

Games Room
- The Jukebox takes a groat for each song. Standing at the far side
of fireplace, look at fireplace and see it is smoking a lot. Look
at the ornate glass window above the target. The orc does not want
you to open the window. Talk to the orc and he challenges you to a
Dart game – 3 darts and the higher score wins 5 groats, a source
of money if you win. Fairy godmother appears to explain how to play
the dart game. The bibbling circles is the target, look at throwing
hand to control the dart. The higher the tip of the dart is positioned,
the faster and stronger the dart will be shot. The lower the tip of
the dart is positioned, the slower and lower the result will
be. The target circles can be moved by the direction keys. Press the
action key (Ctrl) starts the hand movement and the release of the
key releases the dart.

Beer Garden – Pick
up the BBQ tongs and look at the lit grill.

Upstairs

the left hallway.

Left hallway – Pick up the nice thick blanket from the
drawer at the end of the hallway. To the right is Room 4 your bedroom
that is still locked.

Wooden Fire Door – Walk to the other end of the hallway
and then turn right. To keep the door open and to be able to go out
without being shutout – Position Simon by the right side of the wall
close to the hinges of the door, look at the door and then use the
wedge of cheese on door.

Step down outside at the back
of the Inn. Turn to right and go forward to the storage area under
the Inn. Open the crate-like entry to the cellar.

Cellar – Move the crates to get to the far corner to shut off
the pipe that brings beer to the bar. The beer barrels can be rolled
and the crates pushed. Move Simon in the direction you want the barrels
moved.

To move the barrels
and crates: Start by moving the barrel closest
to the stairs and by Simon’s right to the far end. Go forward to
the space cleared by the barrel with the stairs on your right. Move
the crate that is in between the barrels. Go back to the aisle where
you started at and move the crate towards the stairs. Move the barrel
in front of you so that it hits the first crate you moved. Now there
is space to move to the tap connected to a beer barrel at the far
corner of the cellar. Close the tap and go back up to the bar.

Bar
- Talk to the depressed salesman and he will order another beer. Thinking
that he is out of beer, the barman will check the beer source at the
cellar and leaves. Use (place chakara on hand, press Alt and then
action key) the chakara to get the whiskey bottle of full of sweet
liquor (remember S.I.G.N.). The barman comes back and thinks that
the ghost turned the tap off.

Calypso’s Private
room – Talk to Calypso about the border control patrol. Sordid
has got his orcs at the gate. Porkins, the fat wizard in green that
you met at MucSwampy’s is an expert forger. He frequents the Eight
Wander Club. An exclusive club that allows only bona fide member of
the guild through the magic portal. Calypso sends you to the Guild
and to tell them you are his apprentice and then take the test to
become a genuine wizard. (To get to be Calypso’s apprentice, the secret
room at MucSwampy’s must be seen, talked to the Orcs at the South
Gate and talked to the Wizard Guild wizard). Go to the Wizard Guild.

Wizard Guild at Magic Square
- Talk to Wizard. Based on Role playing games, you get a magic rating
of 1 and you have to get your own familiar, a sprite that can be found
at the forest out of town. The sprites come out only at night.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Calypso’s Private room – Talk to Calypso, he booked a room upstairs
where you can sleep and he recommends using a net to catch the sprite.
Find a key to your room in inventory. Go upstairs to Room 4.

Room 4 bedroom
- Lie down and find out that the pillow is filled with polyester that
you are allergic to. Simon discards the filling and gets an empty
pillowcase. You can not sleep without a nice floppy pillow.
Open the window. Go (Ctrl) to the flat roof outside. Look at the chimney
at the northeast corner of the roof that leads down to the games room.
Use (Alt) the blanket on the chimney. The games room becomes smoky
and the orc opens the window. Go back to the Games room.

Games Room
- Play a game with the orc. Shoot the dart out of the window and forfeit
the game. Go to the alley outside to get the dart.
Alley outside the inn – Once outside, turn left, forward and left
to the alley beside the inn. Pick up the dart at the corner
of the building across the games room window.

Bar
- Talk to the barman about having your room cleaned. Evette, the French
maid will clean your room with the new vacuum cleaner. You can not
go to your room because a barrier is placed to block the stairs.

Left
Hallway – Go out of the Inn through the front door and enter again
through the cheese wedged door in the back. Go to the hallway by your
bedroom and pick up the vacuum cleaner. Go to the phone booth.

Justice Square – Go
to the pond. Look at the pond to get more groats. Move to the
side of the pond closest to the stock. Place vacuum cleaner at hand.
Look at duck and immediately, use (Alt) the vacuum cleaner. You get
feathers in inventory. Combine (place one of the item in hand
and the double click the other item) feathers and pillow case to get
a floppy pillow. Go back to the Inn.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Bar – Ask the barman for your keys back. Go to your bedroom.
Bedroom – Use pillow on bed. Use bed. Try to sleep but snoring
keeps you awake. Go out and knock on room 5. Go back to your bedroom,
open window and walk to open window of room 5. Try to wake snorer
up. Use jack on snoring man to turn him on his side and stops snoring.
Go back to your bedroom and sleep. You wake up and it is now night
time. Exit the Inn and go to Pizza Lord via walk or phone booth to
MucSwampy’s and then walk.

Pizza Lord – Talk
to Pizza man that takes order. He sells his Pizza for 10,000 groats
but free if not delivered in one minute. He delivers anywhere using
the pizzerina – a special flute type thing that summons Pizza.

Time to catch a familiar. Go
to the gate to the forest. Exit gate and go to the forest.

Forest – Use the phone
booth by the bridge. Select S.I.G.N. site.

S.I.G.N.
- Give him whiskey and he becomes an aggressive drunk. Ask him for
directions now.

Butterfly meadow
- Use the phone booth to go to the Inbred Yokel area. Take the left
lane to the butterfly meadow. Use net to catch a sprite. The sprite
burns through the net and a man holding a sprite in a metal lantern
tells you to use a container that doesn’t burn through. Hmm – net
with hole (idea!!!). Go back to phone booth and select Lonely Hut.

Lonely Hut
- Talk to role players. They will not give you their sprite and can
not join the game. You can have the sprite when they stop playing.
They want a pizza. One of the players says with no anchovies. Go outside
and use the pizzerina to order pizza. Order the whole works and especially
ask for additional cheese to cover the anchovies. If you order pizza
with anchovies and one of the player sees it he will ask for a reorder
since anchovies will make him sick. Watch the pizza delivery boy rush
and get detained by asking directions from the drunken S.I.G.N. post.
The whole works pizza with extra cheese arrived later than one minute
and you get it free. The players eat it and the one player gets sick
and they call it a night. You get the sprite. Go back to the
Wizard Guild.

Wizard Guild – You are
given the TEST after showing the sprite. The Test fizzled out and
you passed by default. You are given a Wizard handbook and
your specialty is Fashion Magic. Look at the wizard handbook and the
fairy godmother will appear to teach you how to cast spells. The magic
spells are based on the 3 primary colors – red (Polmar), yellow (Tragicke)
and blue (Gazza). The colors can be combined. To cast a spell, place
the book in hand, press use object (Alt) and then use the different
arrow keys: left for red, up arrow for yellow and right key for blue.
Press the action key and the spell will be cast or press the down
arrow to cancel the spell. If you get stuck in a magic place, think
of the colors you see. Exit. Eight Wander is closed at night. Go back
to Inn to sleep and wake up at daylight.

Eight Wander – Enter
and talk to the face on the wall of the bar. Porkins left for the
yellow room. This is a runaround. Go the colored circles at the platform.
Instead of stepping on the yellow circle to light it to go to the
yellow room, just come back to the white room. Light up all the colors
to make white in the platform and enter the meshed elevator. You will
come back to the white room again and see Porkins. Talk to Porkins
about trying to get to the swamp. A street urchin stole his magic
quill and he can not do any forgery without it. The street urchins
are headed by Billy the Kid and they escaped him down a sewer grill.
To exit the club, turn off all the lights on the platform by walking
over them and then ride the elevator. Go to Back Alley.

Back Alley:
Street Urchins – Use the net with hole on the open
window at the far end of the alley where the kids are. Talk to kids
and show them how to play basketball. The door code is D-D-DDD-DDDD-DD
(Let’s Go!). Go down to the manhole.

Manhole
- Go to the door. Knock (Ctrl) on door. Simon will say “Guess
I better knock”. Wait 1-2 seconds. Then use the action keys (Ctrl)
to knock the code. Talk to the kids. The two kids will not let you
play until you have your own conker. Exit.

Manhole
- Play the game for the magic quill rather than money. Just keep on
hitting his conker and eventually win and get the quill. Go
back to Porkins.

Magic Square:
Eight Wander – Give the quill to Porkins and get documents
for the border guards. South Gate – Show
the documents to guards. They accept it but are not allowed to open
the gate. They will give you a rainbird horn to call rainbirds,
in return for some inventory that you do not need anymore. The fairy
godmother appears to explain how to call a rainbird. Blow horn and
they will come. They can fly only in places without cover or outside
but not at night. They will not land in evil places. Use the arrow
keys to control the direction they fly. If you see a good landing
spot use the Ctrl keys to land. The landing spots light up when close
to it.

Go to rainbird pad close to
the guards and blow horn. The next scene is riding on the rainbird
and seeing the landscape below. Fly to the swamp and see rainbow color
lights emanating from the ground when you pass through it. Press Ctrl
to land in the Swamp.

SWAMP

You might want to raise the
brightness and gamma control under options to see better. Read poster
about the luxury development poster. Enter the open gate and see a
crocodile swimming around the swamp. On the left side is quicksand.
In the passage between the quicksand and crocodile is an incidental
man trying to chop a tree down.

Man with the Axe –
Above him is a beehive. Somehow we have to get the axe. Look at the
conveniently placed vine on the cliff right behind the man. Climb
the vine. Walk to the right of the ledge and see the beehive. Use
the chakara on the beehive. The beehive falls and bees attack the
man. Go down and pick up the axe. Go to the beehive and use
vacuum cleaner to collect bees to get Hoover full of bees.
Climb the vine again and use the axe to chop the vine. The vine falls
off to the ground. The axe breaks off and get handle and axe
head.

Quicksand – Go to the
right of the ledge until the sign. Turn around and see a girl in pink
behind the cliff across the way. Look at the warning sign. Enter the
small passage with the life pad. Meet the creature that wants you
to follow him. Walk where the creature hopped to by following the
angle and the distance he did and stopping at the location where he
landed. You can save the game at each stop. Go to the tree area and
pick up the ropey vine.

Crocodile – Go as close
to the crocodile by the croc landing pad and see him with his mouth
open. Use the handle of the axe on crocodile’s open mouth. Use the
vine on the crocodile. Ride the crocodile to go directly across from
where you are to the big island.

Big Island: Park the
crocodile by the croc landing pad. To the left is the Druid’s
area, across is the Tar pit, a bridge to get to the lawyer talking
to the Swampy and the talking tree and another bridge to go to the
man-eating plant.

Druid’s Compound
- Look at the tower protected by electric shocks (lightning magic),
a greenhouse with dubious maple-like leaved plants, a dock and the
house. Talk to the Druid. He gives a plant book to identify
plants with. He will give some of his homemade gin if you collect
3 plants necessary for the preparation of the gin – Purple Stinkwort,
Bogella and Smelly Woodruff. Talk to him again and he said that his
mouth is beginning to get numb. Enter the house and pick up the mortar
and pestle from top of the stove and the stick leaning
on the side of the stove. Go to plant garden and look at the plants,
identify Lady’s Delight, Maiden’s finger, Fairy’s whisper, Virgin’s
surprise, Blertweed and blue Deadly Fish herb – from fruit when
mashed up and administered orally will provide relief from bee sting
and produces fruit only in direct sunlight.

Tar pit
- From the Druid’s compound walk by the shore on the left side and
see the tar pit. Use the bell on sticky tar to get bell with swamp
tar. Then, place stick from druid house and use it on tar pit
to get stick with tar. In inventory, combine stick with tar
and axe head to make glued axe. Cross the bridge to the lawyer.

Lawyer
- Listen a while to Swampy talk to lawyer. The lawyer is trying to
get Swampy to sign the contract. Talk to A. Snidebottom representing
CosyGlow Homes. He frequently uses an insect repellant, made from
a juice of a flower because he is allergic to bees. Swampy threatens
the development with a big biological bomb that will fill the swamp
with stew. The lawyer wants you to talk Swampy to leave before the
construction crew arrives. He will eventually stop rambling.

Talking Tree
- Wake the tree up with the glued axe. Talk to the tree. Try chopping
the tree but can not do it because of guilt listening to the tree
beg.

Inlet to the right of the
Big Island – Ride the crocodile to the right side of the entrance
you came in. Enter the inlet. Waterfall –
Behind the waterfall is a red flower identified by the book as Bogella.
Pick it up. Ride inside the cavern. Landing
with Big Rock – Park the crocodile. Look at the bird table. Place
tar from bell and then sesame seed on the bird table. Pick up the
bird that gets trapped. Look at the dodecahedron of pure stone.
Ride the croc again to the other end of the swamp close to the tree
with broken beehive where a crying lady is.

Princess and Hamster
- There is a small tunnel that goes under the rock in the island.
Talk to the princess, the lady in pink seen from the vine ledge. She
talks about Sir Squeaksalot, the hamster inside a plastic ball that
is stuck up the tree. Use the chakara on the hamster (does not appear
on the eye box) but it falls in the water. Ooops!

Ride croc to the shore line
of the big island between the Druid compound and the croc landing
pad sign. The hamster will be thrown to the shore. Park the croc.
Pick up the hamster inside a plastic ball. Oh dear, it’s dead!
Go to the Druid Compound and use the hamster on the lightning magic/ladder
icon of the tower – Whew! That resuscitated the hamster. Go back to
the island where the princess is.

Go to the back of the rock.
Climb the lowest ledge up to the rock top by holding down the Shift
key and then the forward arrow. Look down at the hole and use the
book to identify the plant as the Purple Stinkwort, a beauty aid.
Go back to the other side of the rock. Use the hamster on the small
tunnel under the rock. He picks up the Purple Stinkwort. The
hamster will not get the plant unless you have identified it with
the book. Talk to the princess and automatically give her the hamster.
As a reward she gives you her sealskin earmuffs, which she
uses to not listen to her tutors. Go back to the big island and take
the bridge to the Man-eating plant.

Big Island:
Man-eating Plant – Cross the bridge and identify the giant plant
from the book as Audreyus Maximus, a plant that prefers birds. Simon
says we need to distract it. Walk to the reeds on the left side as
close as possible to the reeds before the plant eats you. Use the
bird on man-eater. Walk around the man-eater to get to the cave behind
it. With the reeds and the fence on your left, walk around the man-eater
towards the reed infested wall. There is a clearing before the cave.
All the steps taken by Simon is critical to get there, time is not
the factor but the direct path to the cave. Be sure that you do not
waste a step. Enter the passage and use the book to see what plant
is in the cavern. Pick up the Smelly Woodruff. Exit through
the other opening.

Talking Tree
- Use the ear muff and automatically chop the tree. Walk on tree to
get to Swampy.

Swampy
- Swampy is holding the detonator for the Swamp bomb behind him. Swampy
does not believe you are his friend. He wants you to be an honorary
Swampling and to do so first, you must drink a whole bowl of swamp
stew. Second, sing the Swampy song everyday. Try as you might you
can not drink the swamp stew. Remember what the Druid said about his
mouth getting numb. Go to the Druid. Druid
- Give the druid the 3 plants and he will let you take a swig off
from his liquor jug. Now you are drunk. Sprint (Caps lock) to Swampy.
If you revive before drinking the stew, go back to the druid to have
another swig of the potent gin. Swampy: – While
drunk, drink the stew and falls unconscious. Upon awakening, Swampy
tells you the Swampling song. Swampy wants you to get the lawyer
to sign a contract that states that the ‘undersigning personidge’
must ‘be leavings the Swamps alonses’.

Landing with Big Rock
- Ride the croc to the Landing with the Big rock and the bird table.
Talk to the dodecahedron of pure stone and end up singing the Swampling
song – Swampling stew, swampling stew, to your bog your swamp be true.
Swampy be true. Swampling stew. The big rock moves and you can enter
Swampy’s hideout. Get the oven gloves and turkey baster
from the table with the plans for the Swamp bomb.

Druids Compound:
Tower – Use the oven gloves on the ladder of the tower and
climb up to the top and see a reflector that reflects light to the
ground. Move the reflector using the directional arrows and the druid
will get upset. Focus the light on the blue patch of plant at the
plant garden area. Go down. Garden – Pick
up the Deadly Fish herb fruit that provide relief from bee
sting. Use the mortar and pestle on the deadly fish fruit to get pestle
and mortar containing mulched plant leaves.

How to get the lawyer
to sign the contract – Talk to the lawyer about the contract
and get nowhere. Go to the broken beehive across the swamp and use
turkey baster to get honey. Go back to the lawyer and use
honey in the turkey baster on him. He is now splattered with
honey. Use the Hoover (vacuum cleaner) with bees on lawyer.
He gets bitten by bees and falls dying. He will do anything for
you to help him and will sign the contract. Use turkey baster on
pestle and mortar containing mulched plant leaves to get turkey
baster filled with plant juice. Use it on lawyer. Watch as he
tries to renege on his promise and Simon’s threats. He signs the
contract.

Swampy – Show Swampy
the signed contract. He is very happy and will go with you. Melissa
Leg arrives and knocks Swampy cold. She then kisses you and changes
to Runt. He lifts you up magically and disappears with Swampy. Simon
drops on the detonator and the bomb explodes.

Chapter 4 – To Get the
Seedy

Calypso updates his journal.
He talks about the prophecy of Nostramadus that should be happening
now and misinterpretations of the prophecy. Simon drops from above,
landing on the table. Calypso knows about Runt aka Melissa. He explains
about the prophecy and that Sordid is trying to open the doorway to
the nexus. The nexus is the control center for the Universe. What
Sordid needs the Swampling for, Calypso does not know. Sordid needs
the magical boots to control the nexus. Calypso shows Simon what the
magical boots look like and Simon recognizes it as a CD. Calypso wants
Simon to get the “Seedy” from the Dragon’s horde. The dragon is Sordinell,
the same one that the dwarf prince talked about. Calypso wants Simon
to enlist the help of the dwarves and to go to the forest.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Bar – Talk to barman about the ninja ghost he heard just a
few minutes ago upstairs in the corridor. At the end of the bar, pick
up the empty pint glass.

Games Room – Look at the pool table. Something jammed in the coin
slot. Use the tong on the pool table and get a gold coin. Use
the pool table again and use 1 groat but find it blocked. Look again
and find a rat in there that bit you. Use cat found in the overturned
dumpster – garbage on pool table. The cat would not come out after
the fight.

Beer
Garden – Talk to Wig Trader and she wants a wig or wig equivalent
to trade for what she is wearing. Find about God, Harry Wigsner and
the wigologists. Notice the picnic table and that the glass roof to
Calypso’s Private room is gone after you dropped through it.

Bar
– Ask the barman about the pool table and he says that the white ball
and cue are stolen. There are only 2 balls in there anyhow and won’t
be fixed until the repairman comes.

Around the Town:
All other places are closed except the Inn and the Church.
Bell Tower – Pull (Ctrl) bell rope and use (Ctrl-hold again) the
rope to keep climbing up. Look out the window and see Goldilocks.
Go through window and talk to Goldilocks. She is stealing lead off
the roof. She wants you to take it out of here and to stash the loot
before anybody notices – 2 tons of lead. Then meet in the pub later.
Time to go to the forest.

Forest

You can ride the rainbird to
move from town to forest and back. Landing sites in Poliganis are
The Inn, Rotable Junction, South Gate and Justice Square. Landing
sites in the forest are Rope bridge, Lonely Hut, Temple and Dungnomin’
Tree.

Nearly secret area –
The cave in Nearly secret area is blocked and the dwarf is not there.
Dungnomin’ Tree – There are a lot of missing person poster
around. Best to keep away from the gnome village.

Sleeping foliage – Now
that you have the plant book, identify the sleeping foliage to be
Dopius Calandra, plant that induces deep sleep for several hours.
Pick some Dopius Calandra.

Reservoir Control Hut and
Fallen Tree – The hut is still locked. Go down the hill to the
tree where ninja died. There is a valuable item wedged tight under
the tree. The woodworms that are in the tree want weapons for their
insurrection before they help you get the valuable item under the
tree.

Large Hole – The treasure
hunter wants to catch a mole that he trains to find gold. They also
bring sustenance to him. The mole can be trained to find anything
by rubbing the thing he wants to find on them. Look around the area
and see a lot of mole holes. Catch a mole
by waiting for a mole to pop up and be in the eye window and use the
gold coin on hand. Train the mole to hunt for
the CD by using mole on Feeble File CD labeled ashtray in inventory
and get mole trained to sniff CD’s.

Clan BattleBeard Camp
– This is formerly the Volcano Photopoint. Watch as a dwarf climb
on catapult after drinking spirit and yelling. See him get catapulted
and eaten by Sodinell, the dragon. Talk to dwarf by the brewing area.
Clan BattleBeard is called by the Prince of Dwarves to kill the Dragon
Sodinell. The spirit that the dwarves drink before being catapulted
is BeserkerBrau, a dwarf spirit that eats through metal. When asked
about the keys to the building, the dwarf said Axegrinder just went
up and he usually has them. Ask for some spirit but the dwarf said
no. Use Dopius Calandra plant on the dwarf spirit to add extra flavoring.
A dwarf comes out of the tent, drink brew, get catapulted and eaten
by the dragon. The dragon drops to the ground after eating the dwarf
that drank the sleeping foliage plant. Ask for the brew again by using
the pint glass on brew pot – to get pint glass full of highly acidic
Dwarf Spirits.

Waterfalls – Go outside
the camp into the waterfalls area. Look at the sleeping dragon. Use
the metal detector on dragon and hears metal in stomach.

Dragon Lair – Fly a
rainbird and land inside volcano. Notice the coins dropping from a
spout on the side of the volcano. Use the trained mole on the treasure.
The mole pulls out a locked chest. The chest has a padlock with no
keyhole on it. Use the dwarf spirit on the padlock to get Thick
glass case with CD inside. Look at gong and use hammer on gong.
It broke! Use bell on gong stand. Use hammer on bell and the sound
breaks the glass case. Pick up CD. Ride the rainbird to go
to Calypso at the Inn.

Poliganis

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Private Room – Talk to Calypso. Simon, King of Fools must defeat
Sordid with the help of the Lady of Steel, the real Melissa Leg; Hero
of Light, Coneman the Barabrain; Jar Nin, the King of East and Prince
Brave, Prince Valiant. To get their help Calypso said to give them
Invitation to help save the world at Sordid’s Fortress, RSVP
and they will come.

Ask about the King of East.
The ninja, Jar Nin must have his body and soul rejoined at the Temple.
To collect his soul in the bottle, the bottle must have something
of value to him. If successful, the bottle will glow green. Simon
explains about his stealing the bell, so Calypso has to bring Jar
Nin to the temple himself. Jar Nin’s nose was burned in a smoking
competition. As for Prince Brave, his transformation is a standard
witch curse situation and can be reversed by being kissed by a princess.
Princess Austin is now of age and a tournament for her betrothal and
to find a suitor is arranged. Grandulf, the wizard is doing the opening
fireworks display. He would want something in return for his aid to
gain access to the princess.

Chapter 5 – Invite the
4 Heroes to Help Save the World

Coneman the Barabrain
- Go to the busted cart and give the invitation to Coneman under the
cart. After taking him out from under the cart, Coneman, the Nordic
warrior complains about his very bad back. He wants you to fix it
before he can help with saving the world.

Tournament Entrance
- Talk to Grandulf. He needs help with the fireworks display before
the tournament begins. Meet him at the door tonight and he will show
you the ropes. Go back to the bedroom at the Inn and go to sleep.
Wake up and return to the tournament entrance and meet Grandulf.

Fireworks – Grandulf
explains that there are 4 buttons for firing and that the right
fireworks should be fired at the right moment. There is a special
monitor to do so. The Fairy godmother appears to explain further
about the change in keyboard control. Press the correct key when
the corresponding ball passes the lit green square on the right
of the console.

After a successful fireworks
display, Grandulf says you can comeback anytime at night as
long as you stay away from the guards. The tournament is now open.

Go back inside and walk forward
the tents. The opening is close to the wall. Go to the tent at the
center. Crouch to get in and see the Princess you saw at the swamp.
Try to wake the princess up and she thinks you are Johnny, her dreamboat.
Look around and see a poster of a Johnny Lightnin X, with black hair,
purple robe and wearing shades. Go back to the bedroom in the Inn
to wake up in daylight.

Carnival: Go to the road off
Magic Square that had the closed gate before. The carnival will open
only after the tournament is declared open and is accessible only
during the day. Enter the Carnival and meet the 2 demons you have
met in the 2 previous episode of Simon the Sorcerer. They are now
into stealing money through crooked games in the carnival.

Acupuncturists
- Enter the center enclosure. Look at the sign in front of the caravan
about backaches. Enter the caravan and meet the 2 demons. Talk to
them about acupuncture and backaches. They do not do house – street
calls. They charged 10 groats.

Seaside Shooting
- Play the game for 5 groats. Use the chakara, hitting 10-14 ducks
will entitle to a free game, hitting 15-19 targets will win 3x the
game fee, another source of money and to hit all 20 ducks will win
a teddy bear. Hit 20 ducks. The free game is not true and will still
be deducted from your money. To help in the shooting, place an X on
the monitor where the chakara will hit and use that as target for
the ducks. Wait for the next set of targets to come out because sometimes
the same targets pop up. Move the right and left arrows only after
you have centered it on the target. The ducks appear in 2 (I think!)
sets of sequences and if you can remember the sequence, you can anticipate
where to shoot. Good luck! Receive the moth eaten teddy bear,
formerly owned by a dog.

Invadertron
- There are 2 of these machines. Just like the classic space invaders,
hit all the flying targets to gain the high score. The prize is a
pair of shades and more groats, another source of money.

Wonder Wheel
- Spin the wheel to land on either win or lose area. The game is rigged.

Test your Strength
- Talk to the dwarf prince. Since he lost his clan to the dragon,
he needs a purpose in life. He needs a symbol to unite dwarves around
the world. Give him Hammor, the hammer he gave you. But before he
sets out to do so he needs to prove to himself that he can beat the
“Test your strength” game. Talk to the demon to convince him
to allow the dwarf prince to play. The demon will eventually let the
prince play. Go behind the demon, talk to him and he will turn
his back to the dwarf prince. The dwarf will change the mallet
he was told to use to Hammor and wins the game. The prize is a black
T-shirt which you will get from the prince.

Bonzo’s Ball
Bonanza! – The object of the game is to shoot the ball through
the clown’s teeth. Something’s definitely crooked here! The ball looks
like it is too big to enter the mouth. The prize is to be a Coneman
action figure.

Aqua Derby
- The object of the game is to have your horse win the race by shooting
water through open circles. Hold down the Ctrl key while shooting
water into an open circle, wait until your horse move and do the other
two holes or until the horse reaches the end. The opening of the circles
occur in counterclockwise sequence. Billy the Kid is the opponent
in this race. Win a bucket of green plastic toy soldiers with real
plastic weapons.

Voodoo Circle
- Enter the lane between Wonder Wheel and Test your Strength. Enter
the enclosure on the right and see a circle of skulls. Use action
key on cobra lever at left of the circle to go to a lower level. Talk
to the voodoo demon selling magic amulet about making voodoo dolls.
What are needed are a doll and some children’s teeth. Hit cobra lever
again to go back up to the circle of skulls.

Go to the opening on the hedge
across the entry to the voodoo enclosure, just to the right of the
cobra lever. Crouch straight forward and right to the end. Come
out to the enclosure for the Wonder Wheel. Look up at the magnet attached
to the back of the wheel. Take the magnet. Exit to the outside
lane and enter the enclosure at the opposite side of the Voodoo place.

Cotton Candy
stand – Go down the steps. Buy cotton candy floss for 3
groats.

Flea Circus
- See fleas perform. Use the teddy bear on fleas and get teddy
bear infested with fleas.

Go back to Wonder
Wheel and play the game and win a peashooter (leguminous
vegetable projector).

Talk to kid that is following
you. He wants a red gobstopper and you promise to get one for him.
Exit the carnival. All the prizes at the different arcade stalls should
be won.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Game Room – Use the flea infested teddy bear formerly owned
by a dog on pool table and the cat will jump out of the table. Get
the red and yellow pool balls.

Beer Garden
- Give the cotton candy floss to the wig trader. She will give her
wig in trade. Go back to the carnival.

Carnival:
Bonzo’s Ball Bonanza! – Play the game but this time use the
yellow pool ball. You are given 3 large yellow balls to use. Remember
to place the yellow pool ball in the hand box and to press Alt when
ready to shoot the yellow pool ball. If you miss the first few tries,
the yellow pool ball returns to the inventory and you can play again.
Get a Coneman action figure as prize.

Kid – Give
the red pool ball to the kid that wants a red gobstopper and he will
give you his pre-chewed gum. He chews the red ball and loses
teeth in the process.

Voodoo Circle
- Use the cobra lever and enter the voodoo demon tent. Automatically,
give the teeth to the voodoo demons and they eat it as snack. They
then do an incantation on the Coneman doll you gave to them. You get
a Coneman action figure voodoo-ified and full of needles.

Acupuncturist
- Give the needle filled Coneman doll to the acupuncturists. Watch
as Coneman’s back is fixed and he decides to forego his revenge on
that puny boy later and save the world first.

Launderette – Place
the blonde wig from the wig trader and the black t-shirt won by the
dwarf prince in the washing machine. Start the machine and later get
a dyed black wig.

Bedroom – Go back up
to the bedroom and sleep. At nighttime, go back to the princess via
Tournament entrance.

Tournament entrance
- Enter the entrance, forward and enter the tent area through an opening
by the wall. Crouch to enter her tent. Go to the poster of Johnny
X and look at it. Use magic spell book. Use the left arrow key (Polmar
– red) and right arrow key (Gazza – blue) keys and press Ctrl to change
your robe to purple. Wear the black wig and the shades. Wake the princess
up and she will say that she will give you, Johnny a kiss. Use frog
on princess. She wakes up screaming and will shoot you with her bow
and arrow. Watch the escape and Grandulf is hit instead of you. Outside
the tournament entrance, the frog changes to Prince Brave aka Valiant.
He accepts Calypso’s invitation. 2 down 2 to go.

Change your robe back to red.
Go back to the inn and sleep to wake up at daylight.

Forest:
Woodworms by Reservoir Hut – Give the woodworms the bucket
of green plastic toy soldiers with real plastic weapons won from Aqua
Derby. The woodworm liberation army eats the tree up. Watch Simon
handle terrorists. He picks up Jar Nin’s necklace.

Church’s Memorial Room
- Go to the memorial room at the church. Upon entering, turn to Simon’s
left, forward midway the aisle, turn to the memorial wall and see
Nin Jar’s memorial. Simon will say ” So Nin Jar’s ashes are there”.
This drawing/plaque where the ashes are can be seen early in the game.

Place in Jar Nin’s plaque
- Call the rainbird and see the place on the plaque appear in the
map. Fly straight from the rope bridge of the forest and left of Poliganis
to the formerly empty land. Land. Go forward to the ashes at the center
of the slab. Use vacuum cleaner on it to get vacuum cleaner full
of ashes. Go back to Inn.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Left Hallway by bedroom – Combine Jar Nin’s necklace and the
empty soul jar to get jar with necklace. Go close to the mirror
and use the jar with necklace. When successful, the jar turns green
to get jar with Nin Jar’s soul in it.

Private room – Give the ashes and soul of Jar Nin to Calypso.
The ninja will come to the Inn when the joining is completed.

Tell the Barman about the ghost
and listen to another person’s plan destroyed by you. Go back to Calypso’s
Private Room and talk to all the heroes there.

Church Tower:
Time to help Goldilocks. On the way to the church take note of the
rickety bridge and the 2 ton weight limit assigned to it. Take note
also of the water flow of the river.

How to steal the cheese
truck – Go the gate in the back of the church and see a hedgehog
kid floating in the air holding 3 balloons. Aim the peashooter on
the balloon. Shoot at 2 balloons and leave the last yellow balloon
intact until the cheese wagon passes by. You can move about and
the boy will still be there. When the cheese wagon is underneath
shoot the last balloon to drop the hedgehog kid in the open topped
cheese truck. It looks like that the kid falls outside the truck
but he is in the truck if you do not see him on the road when the
truck moves away. Follow the cheese truck to the warehouse. Watch
as the cheese inspector finds the hedgehog kid inside the truck
and no cheese. The hedgehog kid enters the Cheese Bros. warehouse
and eats all the cheese. Mr. Cheese and the cheese inspector are
out of a job and the scam is stopped. Ride the wagon and fairy godmother
explains how to drive the truck.

Drive the truck directly underneath
the stolen lead on the church rooftop. Enter the bell tower, climb
the bell rope to the roof and push the lead on to the truck. Drive
through the rickety bridge and the bridge collapses. Look at the water
flow of the river now and compare the flow of the river before the
truck dammed the river.

Forest:
Call the rainbird and fly over the forest and town. Note the inflow
to the river around the reservoir comes from 2 sources, one is the
river that comes in by the church in town that is now dammed up by
the cheese truck. This river flows out to the swamp and to another
branch that joins by the waterfall by the volcano in the forest to
another source out of the world. The river flows out around the forest
and the reservoir. There is a gate that holds back the river to the
outside world just across Acre Gap and dams the water to fill the
reservoir. The reservoir surrounds the Mysterious Isle. These river
and reservoir system can be studied on the map also. Alight at the
beach.

It’s a Beach – Take
a look around. The water level is very low. Go to the left side of
the beach close to the reservoir and see that the Mysterious Isle
has a pier with a boat tied to it – somebody is there. Look down and
see a phone booth in the water. Walk around the shore and Pointless
bridge and still not find a way to get to the Mysterious isle. We
need to lower the water table more to get there.

Dragon by the waterfall
–

How to get the key from
the dragon’s stomach – Combine the stick with chewing gum to
make chewing gum on the end of the pole. Combine magnet to
it to make magnet stuck to pole with chewing gum. Use it
on dragon. After Simon’s procedure on the dragon he says, “needs
lubrication”. Combine butter to magnet on a pole to make lubricated
pole magnet. Now use it on dragon to get dwarven keys from
the inside of a dragon. “Eat your heart out Mr. Herriot!”

Reservoir Control Hut
- Go to Reservoir Control Hut. We have to release more water from
the reservoir by opening the dam gate. Go up the ladder to the roof
and look at the stuck trap door. Go down. Use the dwarven keys on
locked door. It might help to raise the gamma control here, to be
able to see better. Pick up the petrol on the right side by
the wall and look at the pulley system. Go to the other side of the
wood wheel to see if we can raise the gate. Push the spoke and realized
that you cannot raise the gate. (Go to the corner by the wheel. Glitch
on this part shows a ladder that leads to the roof of the hut at the
corner but is really the ladder outside to go to the roof). Look up
to the trap door on the right side of the pulley system. Use chakara
to unstuck the trap door by aiming at the latch at the bottom side
of the trap door. Simon will say “Got it!”. Go back up to the roof
and trap door and open the trap door. Yikes! Shortcut to enter hut.
Pour gasoline on rope of the pulley mechanism. Now that you have sunlight
from the trapdoor, use mirror to light it. The rope holding the gate
is cut and now the water is released. You can go directly to Mysterious
Isle by phone booth or by the beach.

It’s a Beach or Mysterious
Isle – Look at the water table now and see that it is much lower.
The phone booth by Mysterious isle is accessible. Walk towards the
boat that is now hanging. Climb the rope that attached the boat to
the pier. Go to the ruins of a church. See Melissa look down at the
lowered water table. Enter and surprise Melissa. Give her the invitation
automatically. Time to go meet everybody.

Dog and Fruit Inn:
Calypso’s Private Room – Go back to Calypso at the Private
Room. They are planning the assault on Sordid’s fortress by sneak
attack. They think that Simon will not be of help. A knock is heard
and Runt enters with 2 guards. He placed a magic barrier around the
room. He disabled Coneman and blast Calypso also. Runt is filled with
evil glee about catching Simon, who he wants for himself and Calypso,
as well as the world’s 4 greatest heroes. When Runt leaves, Melissa
thinks that they should just wait it out but Simon thinks otherwise.
Talk to all the heroes and exhaust ALL dialogue. Coneman will eventually
get mad because of Simon’s “witty repartees” and beats him up dead.
Simon comes out alive by the front door of the Inn using the lifepad.
Go back in the Inn and find out you cannot get through the barrier.

Beer Garden
- Notice the open roof to the private room of Calypso. Talk to the
boy on the tire swing. Fairy godmother appears to explain how to use
the swing. Press the action key to start. Press the forward keys when
the swing starts to go forward (when the swing is at the very back
close to you) and the back keys when the swing starts to go backwards
(when the Simon’s feet are up and the swing is far from you). Timing
is necessary. Press the corresponding key when the swing is at the
end of the motion forward or backwards. Pick up the length of rope
with the tire attached. Tie the rope to the picnic table. Watch the
talk with Calypso. I thought
this is the funniest part of the game and cracked me up – Sorry about
the editorial! We have to save the
4 heroes taken by Runt to the fortress. The fortress is at the east
and the entrance is through a rocky tunnel in the mountain. Call the
rainbird and Sordid’s fortress appears in the map. Fly east of Poliganis.

Sordid’s fortress –
See the camps of the invasion army surrounding the fortress entrance.
There is an orc guarding the gate. He needs an identification card
before he can let you in. Only gobbos, orcs, metal things and trolls
n’ stuff are allowed in. The covered bridge is closed by a gate.

To get in the fortress
the first time – Change the color of your robe to black by using
the spell book and selecting all colors. Enter the tunnel and carefully
walk only on the dark areas. After passing 2 orc guards, you will
hear a gobbos sing and march towards you. Crouch (Z) and quickly
enter the lighted recess (practice to find a place to hear them
come, go back to the recess, crouch and enter). When the goblins
march towards the opening of the cave (when they are not on the
screen anymore), quickly go out, stand up, turn left and navigate
the dark areas to the end of the hallway.

Look in the mailbox by the
bridge. Pick up the mail which is an order for a crate of ‘usual’
from Sordid to the Green Grocer in Poliganis. Go back out of the
fortress and do not worry about being caught this time. Call the rainbird
and fly to Poliganis.

Green Grocer – It is
still close. Use the order on the door of the greengrocer. Simon will
insert it in the mail slot. Listen to the frightened grocers. A crate
is dropped from above. Look on crate and see it marked with Sordid’s
address. It’s full of cauliflowers. Now to find the hedgehog kid.
Go to warehouse. Cheese Bros. Warehouse –
Talk to the hedgehog kid and you will pick him up. Go back
to the Green Grocers. Green Grocer – Use
the hedgehog kid on crate of cauliflower. He also hates cauliflower
but will eat it if cheese covered. He is very full and feels like
throwing up. Use the chakara on him to get him to cover the cauliflower
with cheese. Then he eats it leaving an empty crate. Enter the empty
crate now.

Chapter 6 – Save the Universe

After being hauled as groceries,
Simon climbs out of the box and finds himself inside Sordid Fortress.

Colored Fireballs –
The object of this puzzle is to get up the ramp and evade or neutralize
the fireballs. In some instances evading the fireball can be done
by dodging out of the path or by crouching. Remember what the fairy
godmother said – If you get stuck in a magic place, think of the colors
you see. The best way is to change the color of the robe into the
color of the released fireball. After changing to the color of the
released fireball, sprint up the ramp as fast as you can until the
next fireball is released. The colored fireballs will be neutralized
when it hits the same color of your robe. Change color of robe again
and sprint until the top.

Climb the ladder and enter
Runt’s laboratory.

Runt’s Laboratory –
You are stuck to the floor. Runt explains their diabolical plans.
They found the location of the nexus, the control center of the universe.
Sordid is there making preparation for the invasion. Runt will follow
soon after he does some adjustment needed to the matrix. They do not
need the Magical Boots. Melissa and Coneman are imprisoned in a force
field. The prisons are controlled by 2 buttons that are in front of
you, one that releases the force field and the other changes them
into something small.

How to release Melissa
and Coneman – Combine peashooter and magnifying lens. Simon
said that using the Shift button will zoom in. Zoom and look straight
on console with 2 buttons in front of you. Target and shoot at the
right release button.

Use the voodoo doll with pins
to wake Coneman up. Coneman goes for Runt but Runt changes him to
a duck. Calypso arrives but accidentally pokes himself with his light
saber and dies. Now, Runt is out to get you with his light saber.
When he first attacks you, Runt said that his magic is absorbed by
your robe.

How to fight Runt’s colored
light saber – Again, remember Fairy godmother’s advice – If
you get stuck in a magic place, think of the colors you see. Change
to the different colors of the saber blast shot at you by Runt.
Then run to similar colored button on the wall. When the colored
blast hits you, press the button to transfer Runt’s magic to the
buttons. Do all the buttons. Once all the colored buttons are glowing,
Runt’s magic is gone and there will be power build up.

Runt falls into the bottomless
pit. Coneman’s magic transformation was delayed and he, as duck flies
over the pit. His transformation back to human happened in an unlucky
time and also falls in the pit. Melissa wakes up and together enters
the Nexus gate, opened by the power build up.

Nexus – There is a giant
Swampy head above an entryway. Calypso’s ghost appears using power
from beyond. He states that the head is a representation of the builders
of the nexus.

Go to Swampy’s head. Look at
the head and Simon recommends that you sing the Swampling Song. Select
the words to the Swampling song: Swampling stew. Swampling stew. To
your bog your swamp be true. Swampy be true. Swampling stew. Swampy’s
eyes light up and an entryway opens up.

Magic red bridge – Cross
the bridge and be stopped by a Swampy guard. He explains that the
bridge can only be crossed from the other side. No running or jogging
allowed on the bridge. The bridge is just for people leaving the control
center not going to it.

How to cross magic bridge
with Swampy guard – The guard said no running or jogging, so
press and hold Shift key to walk forward. Since the bridge is only
for going out and not entering, when the guard comes out of the
guard tower, immediately turn back towards the entry door and walk
like you are going out of the control center. Be sure to walk straight
in the middle of the path and not veer off to the edge. Walk and
not hesitate when the guard is outside the tower. Once on the magic
red path, count 16 – 17 steps and then turned back to the start
point, guard comes out and looks around. Wait until he looks towards
the entry door and as soon as he turns to look away, turn back and
continue the walk. Continue doing this until the other end. The
guard comes out 4-5 times until you reach the end of the bridge.

Once across and see
a black starry universe, a major glitch happens. It will crash to
the desktop. As soon as I saw that starry universe again after replaying,
I immediately pressed the spacebar and saved the game. After opening
or loading the game, a red blank screen is seen but still have the
3 boxes on the top right. I opened the inventory and chose to call
the rainbird and a graphic scene replaced the red screen and went
on from there.

Nexus Computer Room –
Go to the right and see Sordid lying on a bed, looking like he is
in a coma. Go to the left side and see Swampy lying on another bed,
breathing but out of it. Look at the computer and Calypso’s ghost
will appear (Whoo, hooo, oooo!) Calypso explains that Swampy’s and
Sordid’s soul and body are separated. Sordid’s soul entered the Nexus
computer and took Swampy’s with him. The Ancients are the creator
of life, universe and everything. Swampy is slang for the Ancients.
The Nexus computer is the one that controls the universe and if the
power supply is pulled out, it will be the end of everything. Calypso
knows so much because he is in “Spirit Guide” persona. Simon has to
stop Sordid’s vile plan by entering the nexus computer. His soul needs
to be separated from his body. Calypso performed Simon’s separation
of soul and body. If something happened to either the soul or body,
the joining back will have a slim chance of happening. Enter the computer.

Inside the Nexus Computer
– Find yourself inside the computer.

It is best that as soon as
you reach the passage going into the transporter that will get you
to Sordid and Swampy, retrace your steps going back to the transporter
room with 3 pads as a practice and to know the path to be taken.

Swampy is glad to see you and
ask that you help him. Sordid talks about his plan to use Swampy to
change the automatic control of the Nexus to manual, so that he can
rule the universe. Swampy’s ancestors 100,000 generations back were
the creators of the Nexus. Swampy being the last of his line can run
the machine. Swampy presses a button and removes the automatic control.
He pulls a lever to change it to manual. Oh Gee! He did the memory
erase and deleted the Nexus!! Sordid escapes.

You have 2 minutes to get Swampy
out and escape or escape by yourself. Swampy urges you to go and leave
him because his leg is tied to a ball and chain. You can use the vacuum
cleaner on Swampy but there would not be enough time to get back out.
Decision time! Go to the portal by yourself or with Swampy and go
through the maze again. The lights flicker on and off. Sordid flies
to get outside the computer ahead of you. He knows the path so you
can follow him if lost. You have to beat Sordid to the computer room
and leave him trapped in the Nexus.

Return Path to Nexus Control
Room* – The object of the return path is to reach the transporter
room with 3 pads. The only variant from the path above is when you
reach the blue ramp and go down, you will get to a room with a single
transporter pad and with FBI OMNI written on the wall.

Be sure that before you continue
the game, you have the CD ROM with Auto Notification checked or on
in the Device Manager of the computer you are playing on.

Last puzzle – Your body and Swampy’s
are still in their beds but Sordid’s is gone. The computer is going
haywire. There is no keyboard. You have a CD in inventory and no place
to insert it. Since there is no eject button for the CD ROM drive
of the Nexus computer, eject your CD drive, the one you are playing
on. You will get an eject auto notification. In some replays,
I did not get one. Click OK. If the game frame disappears, just click
it back up from the toolbar at the bottom of the desktop. The CD Rom
drive of the Nexus computer in the game opens and Simon inserts the
CD aka Seedy aka Magical Boots. The Nexus computer is now working.

The computer asks “Where would you like
to go today?” Simon types “Home”. He realizes he needs Calypso for
the joining of his body with his soul. While shouting for Calypso,
a body comes out of the Nexus computer. It is another Simon the Sorcerer
trapped in the Nexus for a long time. The new Simon says that any
good that exists, an equal and opposite incarnation that is evil is.
Those never meet but then, they did.

“Got control of the universe
have we. Right then, let’s have some fun” says the Other Simon the
Sorcerer.

The End

Watch the ending credits
and see the outtakes from the making of the game. 🙂
