Simon the Sorcerer Hints
Where can I find the fossil for the paleontologist?
1 of 7: When you find it, it will be pretty obvious.
2 of 7: It's somewhere in the area of the dragon's cave.
3 of 7: To be more specific, it's just behind the cave (one screen away from the entrance). When you walk onto the screen, Simon should make a big point about an interesting rock on the ground. Take it.
4 of 7: Now all you need to do is extract the fossil that's embedded in the rock.
5 of 7: Look around for someone who might be able to grind away the rock.
6 of 7: Someone who does a lot of pounding.
7 of 7: Take the rock to the blacksmith in town and put it on his anvil. The rock will all be cleared away, and you'll have just the fossil on the inside.
