Zork Nemesis Hints

How do I operate the elevator?

  • 1 of 9: There are two control panels -- one with buttons to open and close the doors, and the other which will let you select a floor.
  • 2 of 9: You need a key for each floor that you want to access.
  • 3 of 9: There are already keys for the basement and the first floor.  But you need to find a key for the 20th floor (the only other one you can access) before you can go there.
  • 4 of 9: It's in the safe in the freezer.
  • 5 of 9: Before you can get the key, you need to thaw out the block of ice (in the safe) that's holding it.
  • 6 of 9: There's a machine in the same room as the freezer that will help you do this.
  • 7 of 9: It's on the wall directly opposite the x-ray machine.
  • 8 of 9: Put the block of ice in that machine (there's only one place that will hold objects), and it will thaw.
  • 9 of 9: Look in the bowl, and you'll find the key for the 20th floor.
