The Beginning
Before you do anything, you'll want to talk to the knight. He'll explain the whole quest to you, and give you a few tips on what you're allowed to do. He'll tell you that before you can go up the mountain to challenge Trogdor, you need to STINK like a peasant, DRESS like a peasant, and be ON FIRE like a peasant.
General note: In the true style of the old Sierra games, if you find things too slow, you can bump up the speed by pushing + a few times, and slow it back down by pushing - or by pressing the f5 key over and over.
DRESS Like a Peasant
This quest corresponds with the gold dots on the map above.
- To start this quest, you'll need to get the loot back for the peasant woman. To do so, walk N, N, W to the mud puddle (which is now wet since it rained) and walk into the puddle to get covered with mud.
- Go W to get to the haystack, in which you'll need to hide to avoid getting killed by the Jhonka. Type "hide" to jump into the pile of hay.
- Waddle S in your new costume, walk up to the pile of loot, and type 'get riches'. Your costume will blow away and the Jhonka will be very unhappy and ask you if you took his riches. Simply type "no" and you're in the clear.
- Return to collect your prize by going S, E, E, E to the hut. "open door" gets you inside again, and then "give riches". Here you'll find out that the woman is a complete fraud and is wanted all throught Pesantry. The riches were probably the Jhonka's to begin with, but the lady runs out leaving you alone with her baby. You can leave her to the knights. Anyway, you can use the baby to get four items.
- Go N and "talk man" to find out about the fishing. He needs a different kind of bait, so go ahead and "throw chicken feed" into the lake. The man will reel in a big catch, and return to work at the inn nearby.
- Go E and "open door" to go into the inn. "give baby" to the innkeeper to get the pills.
- Leave the inn and go W, W to the west side of the lake. Stand at the center near the left (the game is finicky about this, but try standing at the spot where the pebbles used to be) and "throw baby" to get the soda.
- Then go N, N to the well and "put baby in bucket" and "turn crank" to get the meatball sub.
- N, W, W brings you to the mysterious hut without a doorknob, which belongs to Naked Ned by the wavy tree. Walk to the right of the hut and type "move rock". The hole's a little too small for you to fit through, but someone else shouldn't have any problems. Type "deploy baby" to get the door open. The baby then scurries under the fence and you get to read a charming story about his future life. This game gets carried away often, doesn't it? Walk into the now opened hut and go over to the dresser. "open drawer" reveals a peasant robe. Take it with "get robe", put it on with "wear robe", and then just because you're so neat and tidy, close the dresser with 'close drawer' to get an extra point. Congratulations, now you DRESS like a peasant!
Get ON FIRE Like a Peasant
This quest corresponds with the green dots on the map above.
- Go E, E, E, E, N to return to the inn and type 'open door' to get inside. 'talk man' to learn how to spend the night, which he'll only let you do if you're wearing Naked Ned's robe. Type "get a room". You'll wake up 20 minutes later, at which point you should walk over to the pantry and "look pantry" to learn that the innkeeper seems to like a little something called "Old Man Rub" *ick*. You'll need the pot on the top shelf. Type "get pot", "get grease", or "get horse grease" in order to reach up and grab it. It will fall on your head. With your nouveau headwear, you have to navigate your way out of the inn, which can be a little annoying. The controls don't work correctly because you can't see. To move up, use the right arrow key. To move down, use the left arrow key. Left, use the down key. Right, up key.
- Go S and walk near the lantern. Congratulations, you're now ON FIRE and a true, honest to goodness peasant!
Ways to Die
- Typing DIE.
- Attempting to harm/kill Poor Gary the horse by typing "kill horse".
- Walking too near to the Kerrek.
- Typing TRY outside the Mysterious Cottage.
- It makes more sense if you first type CRAWL IN HOLE then CUT OFF ARMS LEGS AND HEAD, but works without those.
- Typing "quit".
- You don't actually die, you just return to the games menu.
- Walking in front of Dongolev's bow.
- Trying to TAKE ARROW before Dongolev leaves.
- Admitting to the Jhonka that you took his riches when he asks you
- Dropping the baby in the well's bucket, then exiting the screen.
- Getting knocked off the cliff near Trogdor's lair.
- Failing the Trog-Trivia questions of any of the Three Keepers of Trogdor (a different message and animation for each).
- Technically, you don't die on all of them, but you lose anyways.
- 1st. Turn into Ron Cumberdale...impossible to kill Trogdor because the game won't let you for some reason.
- 2nd. Turn into an Old Guy Musician...also impossible.
- 3rd. Turn into a skeleton and perish.
- Technically, you don't die on all of them, but you lose anyways.
- Sneaking too close to sleeping Trogdor.
