Here is a fast way to get the key, get into the volcano and out again, but it stops long before the game is finished. This walk-into will give you clues and also mislead you. Explore, bring light and music to the silent places, and then "IN" at the gate wearing the talisman will take you back to the garden. Your score will depend on the treasures you take with you and some other factors. (Sometimes the wolves will get you before you get the axe. I may have miscounted moves, so be on your guard! e&oe) BEGIN SE get coins N N N N in get axe out N N N N N N get coins S S W W NW chop N NW W get coins E SE S SE SE E E E S S S E get string E E get stone TIE STRING STONE W W W N N N NE N W S S in buy bag get bag buy lamp get lamp buy rope get rope buy screwd get screwd out S in buy box get box out N N N in buy food get food out W buy boat W in buy sword get sword buy mail get mail wear mail out E N LAUNCH E SE S SW S E SW LAND W W SE drop stone GET KEY drop stone drop string N SW D get helmet wear helmet get belt wear belt U NE E E LAUNCH N W SE SW S SE SW SW W N LAND remove mail drop mail drop screwd remove helmet drop helmet remove belt drop belt drop sword drop axe drop food NE W W W W W W D light lamp W S get tube N W W get hammer get anvil E N get gloves STAND ON ANVIL U exting lamp pull lever drop tube light lamp get gem W N NW exting lamp NE NE N get plank S S W W W W W SW get wire S SE N get rod SW N NE N E E unlock door open door drop key in light lamp break jar drop hammer N get flask get carpet S E plank across pit E 219 E 220 swim S OIL WHEEL TURN WHEEL N E get emerald W swim N 221 N 223 N 224 E 225 S 226 NW (or BEHIND) 232 N 233 E 234 short plates drop wire E get mirror PRESS BUTTONS 35142 E N N get sphere S S E E ARCANA TENEBRAE IN RAISE STONE (You can now GET HARP and start the explosion, or ...)
