This troll is here AGAIN!
1 of 24: Now the tables are turned. It has the spear.
2 of 24: You need another remedy to get by.
3 of 24: No, you can't pay him off with gold coins. He doesn't like you.
4 of 24: You need a magical remedy.
5 of 24: There's one spell designed especially to sneak by the troll.
6 of 24: It's description is a giveaway.
7 of 24: "You will become as the shadow of the wind..."
8 of 24: And, as you can see, it will only work here, where there IS wind.
9 of 24: HUMANA. Didn't find it?
10 of 24: Well, let's see. There's got to be a secret passage you didn't find.
11 of 24: Remember the rope room?
12 of 24: There was a passage in there, and not through the barred gates.
13 of 24: Try looking at the wall.
14 of 24: Yes, that faint outline is a door.
15 of 24: Nothing in there, you say? See the hole?
16 of 24: Got something to put in it?
17 of 24: No? Not even a gem?
18 of 24: Don't tell me you didn't find them. You had to have found them. Otherwise you couldn't get the sphere.
19 of 24: Now just find the one that works.
20 of 24: It's the blue one.
21 of 24: The old man will give you the spell.
22 of 24: OPEN THE SECRET PASSAGE ON THE BACK WALL OF THE ROPE ROOM. IT LOOKS LIKE AN OUTLINE.
23 of 24: TAKE THE BLUE GEM FROM THE BAG BEHIND THE WATERFALL AND PUT IT IN THE HOLE.
24 of 24: USE THE HUMANA SPELL YOU GET AT THE TROLL BRIDGE.
