6. Don't offend the tiny man so you don't have re-look and re-talk to him.
Choose the line that you're ready to select Companion. Select the
3rd Companion from the left (Naga Princess) right away because the other
Companions will doom you in the first entering. You will enter a room
with 4 doors. Your stuff inside Xanth are only glasses, tome, plastic,
and paper. Wear your glasses to restore color. Your Naga will find and
open the safe door for you, so just 'wait' several times or try to open
doors. Then go north.
7. Watch the animation or dialog with your competitor (Kim). This time
around you take shape a monitor/screen, because you (Dug) currently
don't believe in magic or Xanth (9 points). Go northeast.

(5 points). You get a key from the headman. Unlock the gate with that
key. Open the gate. Go north (to the pier).
Your objective: You need to get the Prize to win this game. To know where
the Prize is, you need to find and talk to Humphrey the Good Magician.
Humphrey is beyond 5 realms so you must cross each realm to get him.
To enter first realm, you must ask the headman. The headman will help you
if you get rid the censor ship. To get rid the censor ship, you must ask
the help of Fairy Nuff. But to get to the Fairy Nuff, you need to surpass
his pail. Yet you can't even approach the pail or throw something at it to
stop it. Then what can you do?
10.(The pier). Take sailcloth. Take the rope. You will fail. That's OK.
Talk to Nada to make her get the rope. She will give you the rope and an
anchor (8 points). Tie the rope to the anchor (turned into grappling
hook). Go back to the town (south), you not yet need to board the ship.
Go northwest, then go west (back to the meadow with a stream).
11.(Meadow) Pry the log with the hook (10 points), you get a log. Back to
the town and talk to the headman. Ask him to make a board from it. He
will gone a moment, just 'wait', and he'll back handing the board
(9 points). Go east (to the Pass).
12.(The Pass) Put the board on the boulder (15? points). Put the rock on
the board. Ask Nada Naga to activate this 'catapult' with her tail
(8 points). You can't take the board again, so just leave it.

16.(Door). Take the tee (3 points). Go north.
17.(Fairway). Take the egg (2 points). Go northeast.
18.(Fair Booth). Take to Fairy Nuff. Go straight to the point. Answer 'Two'.
Then you get the recipe to get rid the censor smoke (8 points). Put the
trapped firefly, the (cracked) egg, and the sailcloth to the pail.
Go back to the yard.
19.Take eye scream and put it on the pail. Do it again. Go back to the
spring (between meadow and town).
20.(The Spring). Ask Nada Naga to get the cough drops. 'Wait'. Put cough
drops to the pail. Repeat the whole thing. Go to meadow.
21.(Meadow). Take another buttercups. Empty the buttercups. Put butter on
the pail. Put the pail on the brook thrice. The solution is now complete
(25 points). Go back to Fair Nuff.
22.(Fair Booth). Talk to Fair Nuff. He will pour half solution to each lamp
cover, dan take back the pail and the recipe. Go back to censor ship.
23.(Censor ship). Pour half solution inside a lamp cover to the smoke

other half (15 points).
24.The story continues: Those 2 demons from the opening will converse
again. Go west. Nada Naga will congratulate you. Just answer as you
like. You're now no longer a screen. Go back to town. The headman will
congratulate you and give you a sword, and he takes back the key,
the lamp covers, and the rock. Just leave them. Go back to Fair Nuff.
25.(Fair Booth). Talk to Fair Nuff. Select 2nd line from above (about
path/short cut). Go northwest.
(The Void) You reach the desert. You can't go anywhere else. But then
you'll see a appearing and vanishing door from nowhere in front of you.
Talk to Nada about it. She doesn't believe it. Tell her to wait the second
appearance of the door. 'Wait'. Then she believes you.
26.Then, each time you see the door, assert to Nada that there's really
a door (first line). You will have to do it 3 times until the door stop
vanishing dan still there. Open the door (3 points), enter the door
(2 points).
27.(The Region of Earth). Go southeast.
28.(Riverside) Metria will be there and persuade you to drink the love
spring. Answer whatever you want, but don't drink it or the game will
over. Metria will ask several times, yet you must refuse, until she
lose patience, unlock the barrow door for you, and let you go
(10 points). Go northwest.
29.(The Region of Earth). Approach the barrow. Enter the barrow.
(Barrow) After several moves inside, the light will off, and then on
again. Nada will suddenly drag you back to the love spring dan persuade
you to drink it. Don't drink it whatsoever. Then it turns out that
she's not Nada, but Metria in disguise. Metria will give you 'Nada
seeker' device (10 points). Metria dan Nada is gone now. Go back to the
Barrow.
30.(Map of the Barrow). Not available from me this time being
(just being lazy).
31.(Barrow). Turn on the Nada device if you like (it doesn't really
helpful). Go the furhtest northeast section to find pestle. Take pestle
(2 points). Go to northwest to find button on the wall. Click the
button, another button will appear. Click that new button, and yet
another button will appear. Repeat this until 16 buttons, 8 in each
side, appear, then double-click again on each of them, which will remove
their switch. They will all disappear and be replaced with large square
button on the right. Click the large square button, and a big door will
open. That's where Nada is held captive. Don't enter it this time
(to save time).
32.(Barrow) Farthest above the Nada prison there's a mirror. Go there. Once
you look at it, it will show your rival's progress (5 points).
33.(Barrow) In the lower left of mirror there is stone pad. Get on it to
transport to other section of the barrow. Explore it to find a door
ajar. You can't open it, hook it, whatever. Just take that door. And it
will turn into a jar in your inventory (logical, isn't it? :-)
(8 points). Yet you're blocked by ironwood tree.
34.(Barrow) Now back to the Nada prison. Enter the door (once you enter,
you can't get out until you rescue Nada). You will find Nada there, in
Naga shape. Don't look at her as she request that way. To rescue her
from the magical manacles, simply talk to the manacles. They will gone,
and Nada will be released and join you again (12 points). Open your jar.
Fill your jar with blue mosh on the wall (7? points).
35.(Barrow #2). Go back the door ajar. Pour mosh inside the jar on the
tree trunk (8 points). The tree trunk will vanish. Reach the other way
of Barrow #2 to the east. You will find mortar. Take it (3 points).
Go back to door ajar, and enter (5 points).
36.(Region of Fire). Go east. Go southeast. Hot dog and fireman will
appear from the lava. You can't talk to the fireman before you get rid
of the dog. Talk to Nada. Ask her to bun her hair. She will give you hot
dog bun. Yet the hot dog isn't afraid. Then open mustard. Squirt mustard
on the hot dog bun, then the hot dog is scared (15 points). Talk to the
fireman. Ask about 'interesting events'. He will tell you about Mack
(10 points). Go northeast. Take charred wood (5 points). Go back to the
Barrow.
37.(Barrow) Right above Nada prison, there is a slab stone. Flatten your
brown paper, and put it on the slab stone (10 points). Put your charred
wood/coal to the paper (6 points). Take the paper. Look at the paper.
It's the recipe to make Mack's fire cracker.
38.(Region of Fire). Go back to fireman. Put buttercups on the mortar.
Randomly, the fireman will give you firewater. Pour firewater to mortar.
Use pestel to mortar (It turns into dought). Put mortar on 'opening' in
the left (bake the dough) until it colors brown and grow big. Take it
immediately, the dough crumbles and you get a firecracker (10 points).
Fireman becomes afraid, and gone. A pointing hand will rise instead and
becomes afraid and gone too (3 points). Go northeast. Light firecracker
(3 points) and it automatically thrown at the firewall (2 points).
The firewall then will be gone (10 points). Go through (go north).
39.(Region of Fire) Throw hook to the opening (3? points). Climb up.
40.(Region of Water) Go north. You'll meet a scientist troll who will

to sink. Turn on faucet (20 points). Swim on well (get the key,
10 points).
41.(Troll House) Give the key to the troll. But the troll won't release
you yet. You must solve one of 3 games he gives you. I recommend you to
pick the matchsticks, the fastest to be finished. You only need to
solve 3 puzzles in 1 game you choose, end that game, and the troll will
set you free (5 points). You keep the matchstick, and can play the other
puzzles there, and you also get the crowbar.
(Matchsticks)

form another square.

inside big square to the left.

the farthest right.
42.(Region of Water) Go up. Go north. Go northeast (the shortcut). Go east
(enter the cave).
43.You meet Com Pewter, the evil machine. You must solve its puzzle. Don't
refuse. You need to open the cylinder in the right, select a tile and
insert it to the cylinder, and close the cylinder as the answer.
You can read Tome of Xanth to get answer, but there's a shorter way.
Just start from the most upper letter tile, then circling anti-clockwise
to pick the tile for the answer, and you will always answer them right.
3 points for each correct answer. 2 rounds of questions, each round have
5 questions. Just do the same for the second round, except for the tenth
question. You need 'T' to answer that, which isn't available. So instead
of tile, put the 'tee' from your inventory to the cylinder (10 points).
You actually win, but your computer is infected by a virus and instead
declaring you lose and throws you back to Grundy Golem. You talk to him,
advise him to take medicine/drink and then back to the game.
