Zork: Grand Inquisitor Hints
How can I climb up the drain?
1 of 7: It's pretty high up, and you don't have any way of getting there from here.
2 of 7: If you had something like a grappling hook and rope, you could climb up there easily.
3 of 7: You won't find a grappling hook, but you just need to find something long and thin that you could easily get up there.
4 of 7: You'll need to use something that has been with you since almost the beginning of the game.
5 of 7: Use your sword. Now, all you need is some rope. Too bad you don't have any available...
6 of 7: ...or do you?
7 of 7: Tie the rope (from the well) to the sword, then throw it up through the drain. You can then climb up the rope into the monastery above.
