INTRODUCTION

Welcome to Dr Hint’s ReversiClues and walkthrough.

The walkthrough starts at section L. It is full of spoilers and should be your last resort.

This document is split into sections by location and puzzle. Some of the key words have been reversed, like [siht], to prevent you from reading them by accident.

The clues are numbered, and the more your read, the more spoilers you get.

Finally, the story has a built-in hint system too. Type HINT to use it.

Good luck, and happy adventuring!

SECTION L - WALKTHROUGH

In the canoe

You start in the canoe on the Maro river. You can examine your inventory and the scenery, and greet your guide.

> say hi

The boat ride can last for a while. You can WAIT to pass the time immediately until you reach the shore.

> wait

And head of to the next part of the story.

> go north
> go west

The clearing and the monkey

Climb up the tree to see the path forward

> climb fig tree
> look north
> climb down

Oh no, your compass dropped during your descent. If you stashed it in your satchel before climbing down this would have been avoided. Let us get it back.

> go hut
> search rubble
> go southwest
> examine veggies
> get tuber
> whip banana tree

At this point you can simply wait until the monkey appears, it will see the banana lying on the ground. If you have already picked up the banana, you should go to the clearing and drop the banana.

Now keep waiting until the monkey appears and takes the banana.

> wait

Once the creature drops your compass you can take it back.

> get compass

Onward to the next area.

> go hut (if in the Garden!)
> go north (if in the Bungalow!)
> go north
> climb stairs
> cross bridge

The rope bridge and deadly drop

Crossing the bridge has a chance of falling. If this happens:

> whip bridge

You emerge at the other side

The waterfall and temple

> enter temple
> examine symbols
> notes on air terjun
> exit north
> look behind waterfall
> enter alcove

We need a light to enter. Time to make a torch.

> enter temple
> examine floor
> open slab
> get bone
> tie cloth to bone
> open urn
> dip torch in oil
> exit north
> examine blue glint
> get stone
> strike flint
> enter alcove

The underground tomb

> examine hole
> examine stone column
> look inside hole
> notes on sowilu

We need the key, you have a drawing of it from your journal. Time to visit the tribe.

> climb stairs
> enter temple
> go south
> go clearing
> go valley
> go path

The tribe and the carver

> show drawing to carver

He wants payment in the form of a hen. There is a hen wandering aroung the tribe, but it is too quick to catch. You need a trap. Your guide, Rom, has one.

> go path
> go clearing
> go path
> go shore
> ask rom for trap
> give yam to rom

Now return to the tribe.

> go path
> go clearing
> go valley
> go path

Set the trap to catch the chicken.

> drop trap
> put seed in trap
> set the trap
> wait (until the hen enters the trap)
> pull the string

Give the carver his payment.

> take hen from trap
> give hen to carver
> give drawing to him
> wait
> get sun key

Now return to the temple. We need to refuel our torch, and get the heavy stone egg.

> go path
> go clearing
> go path
> go temple
> put torch in oil
> strike flint
> take stone egg
> exit north
> enter alcove

The underground tomb

Use the sun key replica to lower the stone column.

> put key in hole
> turn key
> again (until it wont turn any more)

Place the heavy stone egg on the altar, to bypass the pressure plate booby trap.

> put stone egg on altar
> take golden egg

Now return to the shore and get back in the canoe.

> climb stairs
> enter temple
> exit south
> go shore
> get in the boat
