Timequest Hints

How do I get that helmet from the sailor?

  • 1 of 10: You can try GIVE ALL TO SAILOR, but that wouldn't be any fun.
  • 2 of 10: It might help if you knew who that person was.
  • 3 of 10: Read the author's historical notes in the manual for a big clue.
  • 4 of 10: In my manual, it's the top paragraph of page 48 (about Dover, 1588).
  • 5 of 10: That person happens to be William Shakespeare.
  • 6 of 10: Shakespeare took his ideas for plays from other authors.
  • 7 of 10: He could always use a few ideas, if you can give some to him.
  • 8 of 10: You won't be able to tell him the story of Romeo and Juliet, but you could give him an old book.
  • 9 of 10: More precisely, you could give him an old manuscript.
  • 10 of 10: You have to free Rome, 452 AD, from Attila the Hun to get it.
