Zork Nemesis Hints

How do I get into the boiler room?

  • 1 of 8: For now, you should just wait ... you'll get to it eventually, as you finish solving other puzzles.
  • 2 of 8: There are two other puzzles that you will have to solve first -- you need to get in the auditorium, and you need to turn on the lights there.
  • 3 of 8: There was a diagram on Sophia's desk that should give you a good idea of how to get there from the stage.
  • 4 of 8: There's a secret exit from the stage here.
  • 5 of 8: Notice the hole in the scenery backdrops on stage?
  • 6 of 8: If you could just move the rest of those backdrops, you'd find the exit.
  • 7 of 8: Now that you're in the prop room, you're nearly there.  Just explore for a while and you'll find the boiler room eventually.
  • 8 of 8: Go to the swan, click on the crank to raise the swan, and then jump onto the drum.  You'll find yourself in the boiler room -- from now on, you can just take the door to go in and out.
