Zork III: The Dungeon Master Hints

I've crossed the aqueduct, but I still need light.

  • 1 of 12: The place where you come out of the aqueduct is the Damp Passage.
  • 2 of 12: Do you remember what it looked like in the light?
  • 3 of 12: You might want to try restoring your game temporarily just to read its description if you don't remember.
  • 4 of 12: That description may also sound familiar from another place in the game.
  • 5 of 12: The Scenic Vista again should prove itself to be rather useful.
  • 6 of 12: Take a look at the "III" location.
  • 7 of 12: It's pretty much identical to the Damp Passage.
  • 8 of 12: In fact, if you go to that location, you'll find that it *is* the Damp Passage.
  • 9 of 12: So perhaps you can have a light for you when you exit the aqueduct.
  • 10 of 12: There was a torch on the wall of the Scenic Vista.
  • 11 of 12: Pick it up and use the table to get to the Damp Passage.
  • 12 of 12: Then just drop it here at the passage, and it will be waiting for you when you come out of the aqueduct.
