INTRODUCTION
This walkthrough gives explicit instructions on playing SIMON THE SORCERER to
a successful conclusion. It does, however, assume you have read the Game
Manual and are familiar with the various methods of controlling your actions.
In directing you from place to another, I either supply instructions relative
to the screen, right, left, up or down, or assume you will use the on-line map
to zap you to the nearest location to your next destination. After you have
visited a place once, I assume you will know how to find that place again.
However, if the directions are not clear, I have provided maps as described in
the following General Hints.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONVERSATIONS
Be pleasant, cooperative and always offer to help. When conversing with
potential or definite enemies never back off unless you have completely run
out of options. If the conversation doesn't turn out the way I say, just try
another response until it does.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TAKING RISKS
Don't be afraid to take risks. Do so. You can't die and you may need to
experience the downside before you can solve the puzzle.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINTS
Visit the Wise Owl in the Woods for random hints. He will always tell you
something useful, but it may be for past or future use. Hopefully he will
occasionally tell you something of immediate use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
SAVING
Quite honestly, you don't need to save at all, except before quitting. You
can't die and the game never crashed on me. (The inventory did become
invisible from time to time though!) Anyway, you may want to replay some
sequences again in a different order. Save as often as feels comfortable. For
instance, I saved frequently during a thunderstorm!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPENING SCENES
Watch the credits! Simon is lounging around in his bedroom bored with his
homework. Meanwhile Simon's dog is exploring the attic. Hearing barking from
upstairs Simon climbs up to the attic and opens the chest. The dog jumps out
and Simon discovers a spellbook. Handling the spellbook invokes a spell which
causes a small local rift in the fabric of space and time. The dog walks
through the rift and Simon follows . . .
Simon finds himself in the middle of a Goblin food invocation ceremony. The
dog hides, but Simon loses his spellbook and is put into the Goblin's cooking
pot! Doggie to the rescue! They both escape and arrive at Calypso's cottage.
Calypso, a Grand High Wizard, has left a letter for Simon explaining that he
has been captured by the evil wizard Sordid and has brought Simon here to find
and rescue him.
But first Simon must become a wizard himself so that he can use Calypso's
spellbook . . . where ever it is now!

known to be in the possession of, the now deceased, Nafflin the Necromancer.

win the first game, but keep returning to the cottage and playing the game

"Abracadabra" and becoming a mouse. Run away through the mouse-hole near the

unless the frog gets out of your way. When the frog leaves look at the

Go downstairs to the bedroom. Talk to the mirror and ask to see the lab. You

destination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pick up the sapling and the pebble. Talk to the attendant. He will give you
some brochures. Look at the brochures and then use the elastic band on the
sapling. Use the catapult on the fire alarm. Pick up the souvenir matches from
the counter.
Go right, across the bridge and pick up the floor wax. Go right to Sordid. Use
the wand on Sordid to turn him to stone. Now light the pits with the matches.
Throw the wand into the lava. Uh-oh! Sordid tries to kill you. Return to the

footing . . . and falls into the lava!

Go to the witch's cottage. Open the door and go in. Try to take her broom. You
will get chucked out but enter the cottage again. The witch will offer to play
a game with you. Accept.
Use the magic word "Sausages" repeatedly until you win the game. You may not
win the first game, but keep returning to the cottage and playing the game
until you do. The witch will then cheat and become a dragon. Escape by saying
"Abracadabra" and becoming a mouse. Run away through the mouse-hole near the
rocking chair. You now have the broom.

chasm. Consume the "Drink Me" potion. You will walk through a crack in the
door. Your dog will grab you and put you in the garden.
Pick up the leaf. Pick up the stone. Look in the bucket and take the
matchstick. Go left to the puddle. Pick up the lily-pad. Put the matchstick on
the lily-pad and the leaf on the match to make a sailing boat. Sail over to
the seeds. Take a seed. Return to shore. Crush the seed with the stone. Attach
the dog hair to the tap. Use the seed oil on the tap and turn on the water by
pulling the dog hair.
Use your makeshift sailing boat to get to the other side of the puddle. On
leaving the boat you are nearly swallowed by a frog! Look at the water and
pick up the tadpole. Threaten the frog and that you will harm the tadpole
unless the frog gets out of your way. When the frog leaves look at the
mushrooms. Pick the mushroom labeled "Eat Me" and eat it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open the door and go inside. Terrified, you run outside. Pick up the branch.
Go inside again and put the branch in the snapping chest's mouth. Pick up the
shield and the spear.
Go downstairs to the torture chamber. Pick up the chest. Move the lever to
open the press. Put the chest on the block and move the lever so the chest is
crushed. Move the lever again to raise the press. Pick up the candles. Use the
spear to fetch down the skull hanging from the ceiling on the left. Pick up
the skull.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEDROOM AND LABORATORY
Go upstairs, then upstairs again, to the bedroom. Pick up the sock, the pouch
and the magic wand. Pick up and read the book. Now you know what to do with
Sordid's wand. Talk to the mirror. Put the sock in the pouch. Put the pouch in
the mouse-hole at the foot of the stairs. You will catch the mouse.
Go upstairs and talk to the demons. Keep talking until they tell you they want
to return to the pit. Pick up the book and read it. You now know how to return
these demons to their home. Talk to the demons some more and find out more
information if you can. Pick up the chemical, the magical metal polish, and
use it to polish the shield. Place the shield on the hook.
Go downstairs to the bedroom. Talk to the mirror and ask to see the lab. You
will hear the demon's true names.
Go upstairs and keep talking to the demons until they give you the chalk so
you can start the ritual to send them back. When you have completed the
ritual, get into the teleporter, select the Fiery Pits of Rondor as your
destination.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE FIERY PITS OF RONDOR
Pick up the sapling and the pebble. Talk to the attendant. He will give you
some brochures. Look at the brochures and then use the elastic band on the
sapling. Use the catapult on the fire alarm. Pick up the souvenir matches from
the counter.
Go right, across the bridge and pick up the floor wax. Go right to Sordid. Use
the wand on Sordid to turn him to stone. Now light the pits with the matches.
Throw the wand into the lava. Uh-oh! Sordid tries to kill you. Return to the
lava pits and deal with Sordid. How? Use the floor wax so that he loses his
footing . . . and falls into the lava!
Congratulations! Enjoy the closing sequences!
