The Black Cauldron Hints
I've made it across the moat. Now what?
1 of 15: So, you're at the other side of the moat?
2 of 15: Well, go closer to the wall.
3 of 15: Ah, a new screen.
4 of 15: What now? Well what do you normally do in this game when faced with a wall?
5 of 15: That's right! Climb it!
6 of 15: Watch out for the light grey rocks.
7 of 15: You can't hold on to them, and you will fall.
8 of 15: When you near the top, the guards will usually stop throwing rocks.
9 of 15: Aaarrrggghhhh!! Another screen! That's right, same as before, but steer for the window.
10 of 15: Can't seem to get in?
11 of 15: Perhaps you could cut the vines.
12 of 15: Did you get the dagger holding up the "No Trespassing" sign?
13 of 15: If not, well, you're out of luck. I hope you saved your game.
14 of 15: Go in the easy way if you don't want to climb the mountain all over again.
15 of 15: After you use the dagger on the vines you'll go inside.
