Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints
How do I open the chest on the cliff?
1 of 5: No matter how hard you try, you're not going to be able to open it on your own.
2 of 5: If you read the description of the cliff carefully, then you probably noticed that someone else was lurking around the area.
3 of 5: Try waiting around while you're standing on the Cliff Ledge, and someone will show up to help.
4 of 5: Take the man's offer and do exactly what he says -- tie the chest to the rope, and wait around for him to come back.
5 of 5: Whatever you do, don't go around to meet him at the top of the cliff. If you do, you can't win the game. Just wait until the man offers his help in getting back up the cliff.
