Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints
What should I do with the old man?
1 of 7: In case you haven't found the man yet, he appears randomly in the Engravings Room. Leaving the room and returning later may cause the old man to show up.
2 of 7: He looks rather frail.
3 of 7: Perhaps you should give him something.
4 of 7: But first, you'll need to wake him up (just type WAKE UP OLD MAN).
5 of 7: Now, look for something that this old and wizened man could use.
6 of 7: He's probably rather hungry.
7 of 7: Give him the piece of waybread that you'll find at the cliff.
