Zork Nemesis Hints
Sophia's desk is dark, though!
1 of 9: Yes, but there is a lamp on the desk.
2 of 9: If you read one of the letters in the desk, you'll notice that you need a key to turn on the lamp.
3 of 9: There's a key hidden somewhere else in the study.
4 of 9: Keys can also be musical.
5 of 9: Try playing the piano.
6 of 9: There's a tuning fork in a box on a table in here that will tell you what note to play.
7 of 9: Put the tuning fork in wooden stand on the piano, and hit it. Play the matching note, and a key will appear in the back of the piano (you'll hear a loud thump when it does).
8 of 9: The note you need to play is the A just above middle C.
9 of 9: Find the first group of black keys to the right of the keyboard's center. The A you need to press is the second white key in between the black keys in this group.
