Okay, looks like it shouldn't be too hard to get you going again...

I want to use it to fly over the labyrinth so I can avoid the minotaur, but the last chance I get to drop off puts me in the north end of the village, which is not terribly helpful.


The trick to this one is that

where you end up depends on your point of departure.

Plus, if the cottage and jeweler's characters are right I need to get into the jeweler's shop before returning to the cottage, but I haven't made any progress on how to do that.


Hmm, I remember there being in-game hints for this one. Either way, here's one:
Spoiler: show
the jewelry shop is locked in the same way the sorceress's cottage was the first time through. How did that door open? Yes, you knocked, but that didn't open the door - that prompted the sorceress to open the door. How?

Oh gosh I feel dumb, thanks! I'd kind of figured both those out, but was shooting myself in the foot.

Spoiler: show
I was really dumb; I realized I could take off from a different place but I was trying to run there after transforming the marlin. If you walk there first and then transform the marlin that does work a lot better.

Any chance of another hint?

Spoiler: show
I think I'm at the point where I have to temper the shield now, but I cannot figure out how to get the troll's blood.

I've been back to the sorceress and talked to the warden, and made the philosopher's stone, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to pick up the troll's blood. I saw the previous hint "you have something in your inventory you can carry things with", but I can't seem to figure out how to get the stain into the belt, the cloak, the wand, or the shield, or how to get blood from the troll without just killing it. Am I using the wrong thing or doing it the wrong way? Or do I have to do more in interworld before getting to that?

Nearly have it... dirt-filled stains aren't much use though, try catching one before it hits the dirt.

Thanks a lot! Finally got it. And finished the game! Does anyone know where the last two endings are besides those mentioned here?

Really great game :) The best experience I've had with one for a long time.

I give up, can some one help me please.

Spoiler: show
I've reached the sorceress using the roc and big fish, I picked up the stone (have not turned it into a philosophers stone yet because, best I can tell, I need to upgrade my shield), I (think I) get that I need to get the troll remains into the machine.... I don't get how I get it there. I can't seem to get him to follow me in that direction (maybe I'm doing it wrong, I'm a little fuzzy on how I do manage to get him to follow me when it happens?), and if I kill him by the bridge I can't get the remains anywhere before it evaporates. Pick up shield (some gone), e (all gone)... I still have a clear ampule.... Maybe that's part of my problem?

Here's my current inventory.... I sometimes (This time) forget to feed the cat.
Inventory:
a shield (being held, not worn)
a sword (held in hand)
a belt (being worn) with an empty scabbard
two gold
a brown cloak (being worn)
a spellbook
a rock
a wand
a mackerel
an ampule of rainbow fluid
an ampule of bubbly fluid
a large ampule of clear fluid
a leaflet
a heavy purple dart
two ordinary red darts

Where'd you get the leaflet? I never found it. Anyway you can't pick liquid up off the ground, so you need to find a way to catch it when it spills. You definitely have the item. Think about the interlife tips.

Thanks for the nudge... Somehow I SWEAR I tried this like 10 times and it didn't work

Spoiler: show
I knew the shield thing, just somehow I swear it always evaporated.... I just tried it again so I could post a log.... and it worked this time.... hoary, It was making me crazy....

The leaflet is the paper early in the game that gives you something crazy like 50 points from the sorceress mailbox.

>read leaflet
"WELCOME TO NAMELESS QUEST v2.0.12!

NAMELESS QUEST is a game of adventure, danger, and low cunning. In it you will explore some of the most amazing territory ever seen by mortals. No BBS should be without one! And Endless BBS isn't! Hehehe."

[Your score has just gone up by fifty points.]

>take leaflet
Taken.

Got all 201 of 201 points. Noticed someone mentioned missing one, they probably already figured it out, but here's the list the game gave me:
Spoiler: show
You have scored 201 out of a possible 201, in 239 turns.

The score is made up as follows:

1 : becoming good at darts
1 : becoming great at darts
1 : becoming awesome at darts
1 : purloining one or more tavern darts
1 : getting into the home of the sorceress
1 : procuring a magic wand
1 : procuring a spellbook
1 : procuring an ampule of cloudy fluid
1 : procuring an ampule of rainbow fluid
1 : procuring an ampule of bubbly fluid
1 : procuring a large ampule of clear fluid
1 : defeating an enchantment
1 : procuring a mysterious rock
1 : freeing a wooden fish from bondage
1 : getting into the home of the sorceress again
1 : refueling an important machine
1 : preventing yourself from being roasted
1 : leveling up
2 : casting your first magic spell
3 : tempering your shield
5 : winning a sword and shield
5 : escaping an enchanted labyrinth
5 : acquiring the Philosopher's Stone
5 : forging a golden sword
7 : ridding the world of a troll
50 : reading a hilarious leaflet
99 : slaying the dragon
1 : living to tell the tale
1 : feeding a talking cat along the way

201 total (out of 201)

I'm thinking it was the cat you guys missed.... Though I don't remember defeating an enchantment.

Thanks!

p.s.
Found 1 more ending;
killing the dragon without ever entering the interlife.


I don't see how that's different from "- Become overwhelmed by trolls." Though the typical path is different....

Also It appears I can't nest spoilers.... though I wasn't sure If I needed to in the first place, I guess I have no choice in that matter.
