Zork Nemesis Hints

How do I make the tin symbol?

  • 1 of 12: The necessary equipment is on the 22nd floor (at the top of the asylum).  If you haven't gotten there yet, then read hints for previous puzzles first.
  • 2 of 12: The key is the glass jar up there.
  • 3 of 12: Notice that there are three gas containers (helium, oxygen, and hydrogen) and a spark generator to the right of the jar.
  • 4 of 12: The gas containers are on when the levers are pointing to the right.
  • 5 of 12: A book on the 21st floor described how some of the gases work.  There are also some instructions in the tan journal that may help you.
  • 6 of 12: Sending a spark through pure oxygen does nothing.  And sending one through hydrogen and oxygen creates a cool flame.
  • 7 of 12: But you need to melt the tin so that it fits into the mold first.  And that requires a hotter flame.
  • 8 of 12: A spark of pure hydrogen will do the trick.
  • 9 of 12: Now, you might want to cool the tin.
  • 10 of 12: Turn on both the hydrogen and oxygen and create a spark, and the tin will then cool.
  • 11 of 12: Finally, you need to lift the jar.
  • 12 of 12: Turn on the helium to do so.  Once you click on the tin, you'll return to the temple.
