Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints
How can I keep from being killed by grues?
1 of 5: Grues like the dark.
2 of 5: That means you should carry around a light.
3 of 5: You should have one within easy reach at the start of the game.
4 of 5: Pick up the brass lantern that's at your feet and turn it on.
5 of 5: In case the lantern starts to run down, you'll need to look for another light source (which you should find in the course of solving other puzzles), or replay the game and be more efficient about your moves the next time around.
