Zork Nemesis Hints

I'm in this room with four statues. What next?

  • 1 of 20: First, explore the room carefully, and look in every direction that you can.
  • 2 of 20: In particular, look up at the ceiling from each of the different locations.
  • 3 of 20: When you look up from near the elephant statue, a staff will appear.  Take it.
  • 4 of 20: Since there's not much else you can do, investigate the coffin in the center of the room.  You can only walk to it when you're standing next to the lizard statue (the one holding the crystal ball).
  • 5 of 20: Touch the statue, and a ring will appear.
  • 6 of 20: Use the gold ring on the silver one to take both.
  • 7 of 20: The rest of what you have to do here is use the tools in this room to combine the two rings.
  • 8 of 20: Each of the statues represents an element.
  • 9 of 20: Pay attention to the red and yellow triangles and to the animals, and you might get an idea of which elements go with which statues.
  • 10 of 20: Your options are pretty limited at this point, so trial and error will get you through pretty quickly here even if you don't know why you're doing what you're doing.
  • 11 of 20: You'll first want to melt the two rings together.
  • 12 of 20: Put the two rings in the bowl in front of the dragon statue and press the triangle next to the statue.
  • 13 of 20: Now you need to cool what you've made.
  • 14 of 20: Put them in front of the elephant statue and press the corresponding triangle.
  • 15 of 20: Next, you need to mold the metal into another shape.
  • 16 of 20: Put it in front of the snake statue, and then press the triangle again.
  • 17 of 20: It's time to use the fourth element to complete the process.
  • 18 of 20: Put the infinity symbol on the lizard statue.
  • 19 of 20: And look for something that will let the statue break the ball.
  • 20 of 20: Put the staff in its hand.
