Simon the Sorcerer 3D Hints
What can I do to earn some Groats?
1 of 9: There is someone around here that needs some help.
2 of 9: All you need to do is talk to him to find out what you can do for him.
3 of 9: The man you need to speak with is the Fat Bloke. (Check the map for his location. You won't be able to transport directly to him, but you can use the phone booth to get close).
4 of 9: The Fat Bloke will give you a butterfly net and a specimen jar.
5 of 9: You'll need to catch some butterflies.
6 of 9: There is only one place to catch butterflies. Check the map -- there is a picture of a butterfly in the location of the Butterfly Meadow.
7 of 9: Use the butterfly net to catch the butterflies. (Cycle through your inventory by pressing C; equip the net with ALT; swing the net using CTRL. Put the net away again with ALT.)
8 of 9: It may take some practice with the net to learn how to catch the butterflies. It is important to learn what the path of the net is and try to swing when the butterfies are in that path.. Simon will need to stand fairly close to the butterflies. It is also helpful if the butterflies are a bit to Simon's left.
9 of 9: Simon will put the butterflies in the specimen jar. Take them back to the fat bloke -- he will pay you for each one you catch.
