Zork Nemesis Hints

How do I make the copper symbol?

  • 1 of 16: You first have to find the place to make it.  Start by getting to the boiler room.
  • 2 of 16: There's another room underneath the boiler room.
  • 3 of 16: Notice the watch on the ground?
  • 4 of 16: If you click on it, it will fall into the water.  Try following it.
  • 5 of 16: The room full of crystals that you can reach underwater is where you'll make the copper.
  • 6 of 16: You should find instructions on what to do on Sophia's desk.
  • 7 of 16: You first need to prepare the boiling solution.  There's a giant pool of water here.
  • 8 of 16: Since you're next to the boiler room, you could probably heat the water from there.
  • 9 of 16: There's a row full of switches in the boiler room -- if you pull one of them, you'll heat the water.
  • 10 of 16: But the switch won't stay down!
  • 11 of 16: The next step is to seed the solution with the crystal.
  • 12 of 16: There's a bunch of little crystals in a hole on the wall.  Throw one of those in the solution.
  • 13 of 16: And now purify the solution.
  • 14 of 16: There's a tablet in a green fish-crystal in the crystal room.  Add one of those to the solution.
  • 15 of 16: If you've done everything up to this point correctly (down to the order of the steps), a large grey crystal should appear in front of you.
  • 16 of 16: Now you need to take care of the last step ... ringing the right notes.
