Might and Magic VI Hints

Albert Newton

  • 1 of 16: You can find Albert Newton in his castle near Mist.
  • 2 of 16: He will send you to look for the Hourglass of Time in the Silver Helm Outpost, which is in the Mist map area.
  • 3 of 16: You will find the key near the entrance.
  • 4 of 16: Start looking at the southern door on the eastern wall of the main chamber (the one just next to the entrance).  The key will be just past that door.
  • 5 of 16: Show the key to Lord Newton, and he will realize his mistake.
  • 6 of 16: The key opens Gharik's Laboratory, which you can find inside Gharik's Forge on the New Sorpigal map.
  • 7 of 16: Gharik's Forge is located on an island to the north of town.  You will need a "Fly" or "Water Walk" spell to get there.
  • 8 of 16: Once you're in the Forge, head down the main ramp and look for a secret door to the east.
  • 9 of 16: A lever in the corner will extend a bridge to help you get over a lava pit.
  • 10 of 16: From there, keep heading forward until you reach a series of switches and partial bridges in a room with two levels.
  • 11 of 16: The switches will control the doors and bridges in the nearby area.  Only trial and error will tell you what they do.  Or read ahead for the full answer.
  • 12 of 16: Flip the switches in the following order: NW (upper level) , NE (lower), SE (lower), NW (lower).  If you flip the switches in this order, you will also move the bridges and open the doors necessary to get to the upper NE section of this room.
  • 13 of 16: Go over to the upper NE section of the room and through the door that you just opened.
  • 14 of 16: You will find an elevator behind a door a little bit past the two-level room.
  • 15 of 16: Take the elevator down and then go up a spiral ramp in the next room.
  • 16 of 16: You will find the Hourglass of Time near the top of the ramp, in a chest.
