                       Some Hints to Thayer's Quest

                               Weigard Hints
          Take the staff from the Driads.  Use the Cold  Fire  on  the
     marsh  wastes  to  destroy  the snow creatures.  Use the Spell of
     Release on the Crystal.  Pocket another Cold Fire for future use.
     Use  the Spell of Seeing on the clearing to see the Fairies, then
     give them the Staff.  The Fairies will then show you the  Crystal
     Castle.   Use  the Crystal to kill the Familiars (Cat Creatures).
     When you enter the Crystal Castle, choose the Closed  door,  then
     choose the Wooden Door, to get the Black Mace.

     The objects you should have before leaving Weigard are:

          The Black Mace
          The Cold Fire
          The Crystal of Lothar
          The Spell of Understanding

                                Illes Hints

          When you enter Illes for the first time, the only  safe  way
     to go is to go to the Oasis (The Amazon's Camp).  Do not take the
     Long Bow from them, if you do, the Amazon's will stone you.  When
     you  reach  where the Fire, Rock, and Water creatures attack you,
     first use the Cold Fire.  You  will  be  come  injured  which  is
     nessarry.  After you have killed the creatures, choose the Hills,
     that will bring you to the temple  of  Cibar.   Priests  will  be
     walking  to  you.  They will be holding the Talisman Sceptre.  To
     take it, press the Sceptre key on the keyboard.  After  you  have
     taken  the  Sceptre, there will only be two ways out.  Choose the
     Catacombs.  Then to get out  of  the  Catacombs  and  onto  land,
     choose  the Tunnel.  That will bring you near the Building on the
     Cliff.  The correct procedure on how to get the Chalice  back  to
     the Clowd Keep will be discussed later.  Use the Talisman Sceptre
     on the Dunespeople to have them let you pass.  After the  end  of
     the  screen,  choose  Follow  Dunespeople.   The screen will then
     shift to a person holding the Onyx Seal, press the button on  the
     keyboard  with that item to take it.  Thayer will then say, "I am
     overwelmed with your gift."  The person will  then  say,  "Please
     stay for our feast, ruler of Illes."
          If you accidentally meet up with the Fire, Rock,  and  Water
     creatures   again,   use   the  crystal  of  Lothar.   That  will
     permanently kill them.

                                ISCAR HINTS

          When you first enter Iscar, you will see  something  sparkle
     in  a  box.  Those are the Pentacle Coins. Do not take them until
     you have the Orb of Quoid.  If you are trying to get  the  Golden
     Chalice, here's how to get it:

          When you enter Iscar, choose the Coast. You will end  up  at
     Eadwine's  Hut.  Choose  the Black Keep. You will end up near the
     enterence to the Black Keep, now choose Coast again. Now you will
     end  up  at  the  Sea Pavillion and some people will come toward,
     with the Chalice. To take the Chalice, press the  button  on  the
     keyboard  that shows the picture of the Chalice on it. Now choose
     Down The Coast..  You will now be transported to  a  screen  that
     shows  a fork in a road with a sign.  Theyer will then say, "What
     does this  sign  say...To  Illes."  Choose  Illes  and  you  will
     transported  to  the screen that shows the Building on the Cliff.
     Go to the Building on the Cliff and return  the  Chalice  to  the
     person  in  the  Clowd  keep.   He will then give you the hunting
     horn, and give you two places to go, Wiigard and Iscar

          Do not go into the enterence of the Black  Keep  unless  you
     have  the  Hunting Horn.  If you have the Hunting Horn, enter it.
     Two green lizard monstors will come toward you.  Press the button
     that  shows  the Hunting Horn on it and they will go away.  Enter
     the Keep interence and it will show some  information  about  the
     Crystal  of  Lothar.   Choose the Front Room and it will show the
     Blood Room.  To take it, press the button that  shows  the  Blood
     Sword  on  it.  Then exit the keep.  You will then be shown where
     the two lizard monstors are  again.   Press  the  button  of  the
     Hunting  Horn  and  they  will  go  away.   Now  enter  the Front
     Enterence and you will  be  inside.   When  the  screen  finishes
     choose  the  Magic Door.  You will the be transported to Torlac's
     Palace.  Do not enter the palace, unless you  have  the  Pentacle
     Coins.
          When you enter Iscar, the screen will show Coast  and  Other
     Ruins.   If you choose Other Ruins, after the screen finishes, it
     will show three directions,

             RUINS- Goes back to the Enterence of Iscar
             FOREST- Goes back to the Hedgemaze
             MOUNTAINS-  Goes to the Bridge to Far Reaches

          If you have the Long Bow, go to  the  Hedgemaze.   When  you
     enter  the Hedgemaze, use the Long Bow to make a Golden Path that
     you can follow to the Orb of Quoid.  When you see the Orb,  press
     the button that has the picture of the Orb.  Wse the Orb when you
     are at the enterence to Iscar, to take the  Pentacle  Coins.   To
     take the Pentacle Coins, use the Orb of Quoid.

          When you have the Pentacle Coins,  go  to  Torlac's  Palace,
     enter  the  Palace,  and  when the person at the Throne tells his
     guards to take you to  the  Dungeon,  press  the  Pentacle  Coins
     button.   The  personon  the  throne  will then show you a Secret
     Passage.  Take the Passage and you will be at  the  Elder  King's
     Last  Battlefield  with the Silver Wheat.  Use the Blood Sword to
     harvest the Wheat.
          Then go to the Bridge to Far Reaches, and  give  the  Silver
     Wheat to the person guarding it.  He will then let you pass.

          If you select the Far Reaches, you must have the Onyx  Seal.
     It will show you the Dunespeople again. After the screen is over,
     select the Rocky Path.  The screen will then shift to  the  EVIL-
     NASTY  PERSON  and  you  must use the Black Mace.  If you use the
     Black Mace, it will show you  deflecting  his  fireball  that  is
     comming toward you and hit the other guy.  He will then turn into
     a green ugly monstor and dissappear.  Then it will show a message
     congradulating  you  on  completing  the first three kingdoms and
     will start you back at the start of the game.
