Zork Nemesis Hints
I can't make sense of what these six talking heads are saying!
1 of 11: There are a few plaques under the heads with some symbols on them.
2 of 11: Do you recognize those symbols from anywhere else?
3 of 11: There was another location that had those symbols.
4 of 11: Did you donate a zorkmid to the fortune telling machine?
5 of 11: There was a zorkmid on the ground outside of the monastery, if you need one.
6 of 11: Put a zorkmid in the box, and you'll get six fortunes with those symbols on them.
7 of 11: If you match the symbols to the fortune text, you should notice that each of the symbols corresponds to an emotion.
8 of 11: And if you look at the faces and listen to them talk, you'll see the same emotions again.
9 of 11: Try matching the symbols on the plaques to the heads according to emotion, by putting the plaques in the slots under the head.
10 of 11: On the left-hand wall (as you're coming from the front door), the symbols from left to right are 1) fear, 2) anger, and 3) boredom. On the right-hand wall, the symbols are 4) happiness, 5) body, 6) suspicion. This is the same order as the fortunes come in (e.g., the first fortune has the fear symbol, and the last has the suspicion symbol).
11 of 11: Once you put all the plaques in the right places, the heads will read their message in its proper order.
