Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints
The path across the aqueduct is broken. Where can I go?
1 of 7: Unfortunately, your grue repellent is going to run out. There's no way back through the Dark Place.
2 of 7: And in case you were thinking that you could make the repellent last longer, as is suggested in the manual, don't even try. The word "sand" is synonomous with "ground" in this game, so there's no way that you can pick up any sand to make an additive to the repellent.
3 of 7: You may not know this, but the path wasn't always broken.
4 of 7: Something during the game caused it to break.
5 of 7: Something catastrophic.
6 of 7: Like the earthquake.
7 of 7: The only thing you can do is try to cross the path earlier in the game. That means restoring or restarting, unfortunately.
