Zork: Grand Inquisitor Hints
I can't get all four gates to close!
1 of 6: No, you can't.
2 of 6: Given the limitations of what the buttons do, it isn't mathematically possible to have all four sluice gates closed at the same time. (Considering what happens when all four are closed, this is a good thing.)
3 of 6: In order to get all four gates closed, you need to have one more gate open.
4 of 6: Do you have anything in your possession that might allow you to do that?
5 of 6: REZROV one of the remaining gates.
6 of 6: Then, play with the controls until all four gates close and the dam floods.
