Zork Grand Inquisitor Walkthrough
Port Foozle

When the game starts you are standing at a crossroads. To the
left is Port Foozle, to the right is an old well, and behind you
is the path to the Monastery (now the Inquisition Headquarters).
Head toward Port Foozle. At the fish shop on the edge of town
look at the controls near the loudspeaker. Turn the volume on the
Inquisition loudspeaker to maximum. Look at the display case in
front of the store. While the speaker is spouting propaganda grab
the stuff in the display case (Light Mead and a plastic six-pack
holder).

Turn around and go to the dock. Use the winch a few times to hear
everything the magic fish has to say. Place the six-pack holder
on the hook and use the winch again. After the fish leaves get
the Lantern from the Box.

Go to Antharia Jack's shop and show him the lantern (Use the
lantern with the door). After he lets you in he'll offer you a
cigar and go looking for his wrench. Take a cigar from the box.
Jack will fiddle with the lantern (and hit it a few times) then
send you back outside, keeping the lantern for himself.

Go to the end of the street. Look at the Talking Grand Inquisitor
doll and light it with the cigar. Turn around and jump inside the
barrel. After Jack gets hauled away by the Inquisition Police
return to his shop and pick up the lantern. While in the shop you
can also find a computer that is running Planetfall (Although you
can't play).

After getting the lantern leave Port Foozle and head to the
Monastery. Read the signs on the fence and get the rope from the
Frobozz Electric Totemization Counter.

Now go to the well in the forest, use the rope to climb down the
well. After meeting Dalboz (who's trapped in the lamp) and
talking to Gael the Enchantress you will have your spellbook and
be standing outside one of the secret entrances to the Great
Underground Empire.

The Secret Entrance and the Crossroads

Look around and find the bucket. Inside is the Subway Token.
After picking it up, cast REZROV on the door and proceed down the
stairs.

Turn to the left. Next to the entrance is a small case that
contains a hammer, a Sword, and a map. Open the case and take the
hammer, then close it and use the hammer to break the glass. You
can now get the Sword and Map from the case.

Look on the ground to the right of the entrance. You will find
Griff's Totem there -- pick it up.

Proceed down the path to the crossroads. To the left is the
entrance to the Dungeon Masters Lair (currently blocked by
brush). To the right is the Crossroads teleport machine and
entrance to the subway. Straight ahead takes you to the entrance
to GUE Tech.

Dungeon Master's Lair

Head to the left to the entrance to the Dungeon Master's Lair.
Use the sword to cut away the brush, then enter the doorway. Open
the shed just to the left of the entrance and get the shovel and
the THROCK spell. Head back to the crossroads and then go to the
entrance to GUE tech.

GUE Tech

Open the door with the REZROV spell, then enter. To get into GUE
Tech you have to solve the matching puzzles on the three columns.
On the first two columns you have to match the pictures. The
first column the correct picture is a volcano with a river of
lava. The correct picture on the second is the tower with the "Z"
on top. For the third column you have to create a complete
window. Match the sections so that the entire window is visible,
ignoring the rest of the image. Click on the window that appears
to enter GUE Tech.

Move around the fountain to the left and read all the notices on
the bulletin board. Continue around the fountain to the hallway
entrance. Look up above the hallway entrance to see the sign
describing it as an "Infinite Hallway". Cast IGRAM on the word
"Infinite" to change the hallway to a finite corridor. Enter
quickly before it changes back and go down the hallway and listen
to all four parts of the message from Belboz.

Head back to the fountain and exit GUE Tech using the door. Turn
around and go back up the stairs. The teleport station for GUE
tech is to the left. To the right is a pile of dirt. Use the
shovel to dig up the KENDALL spell, then use the teleport station
to return to the Crossroads.

The Subway

Use the token to enter the GUE Subway system. Read the poster,
then look at the directions on the wall. Cast KENDALL on the
instructions to make them less confusing. Press the Hades button,
turn around and step onto the platform.

Hades

get the Old Scratch card from his hand. Save the game. Play the
scratch game (examine the card) until you win - restore you game
if you lose. After you win the cash head through the doorway and
use the teleport station to return to GUE Tech.

GUE Tech

Go back inside the GUE Tech building by going down the steps and
entering the Window on the pillar. Head for the snack machines
and use the change machine to get Zorkmid coins in exchange for
the 500 Zorkmid bill you won. Buy an ice cream sandwich - the
wrapper is the OBIDIL scroll, although it can't be used yet.

Use a Zorkmid to purchase Zork Rocks (#8) in the candy machine.
The candy gets stuck inside the machine. Plug the vacuum into the
candy machine and turn it on, then retrieve the candy from inside
the vacuum.

Save the game again. Place the Zork Rocks in the soda machine and
buy Classic Blam. Now hurry down the hallway to the lockers
before the Zork Rocks explode. Slip them the second locker on the
middle row and wait for it to explode. The locker is now open,
and you can pick up the Dungeon Master's student ID inside.

Purchasing the matching candy in the machine to open all the
other lockers - you must purchase the candy, then come down to
the lockers. The only other locker you have to open is the third
one on the bottom row (the one with all the graffiti). Head back
to the candy machine and buy the candy that matches that locker
(number 11). Return to the lockers and get the ProZork sedative
from the locker and read all the books. Use the KENDALL spell to
make the spell creation textbook easier to understand. After
reading textbook turn around and use the ID Card to open the door
to the Spell Lab.

Enter the Spell Lab and use the teleport station to the right and
return to the crossroads.

Flood Control Dam #3

Take to subway to Flood Control Dam #3 (You no longer need a
token to enter the subway). Turn to the left and use a Zorkmid in
the machine to get a souvenir letter opener. Look at the
drainpipe and Use THROCK on the Moss of Mareilon to make it grow,
then pick it up.

Head to the dam control area and read the books. You will find
the GOLGATEM spell.

Use the REZROV spell and the dam controls to close all four
gates. The dam will be destroyed and power to Port Foozle will be
interrupted.

Take the subway back to the crossroads and head back to the spell
lab using the teleport system.

The Spell Lab

Use the sword to cut the ropes of the bridge, sending the
invisible six-armed guy to the bottom of the canyon. Cast
GOLGATEM to build a new bridge.

Head to the Spell Checker and run the OBIDIL spell through it to
make it useable. Get a blank scroll form the box near the bridge,
and then follow the instruction from the textbook you found in
the lockers to create the BEBURTT spell. Entered the blank scroll
into the machines in the spell lab in exactly this order:
Origination, Modification, Replication, Interpretation,
Transmogrification and finally the Spell Checker.

Use the teleport station to return to the Crossroads.

Walk toward the house until you get to the snapdragon. Give the
sedative to the snapdragon and use the sword to cut it loose.
Head to the house and place the cigar in the ashtray on the left
and pour the Light Mead into the basin on the right. Use the
ZIMDOR scroll you got from the umbrella plant to increase the
amount of Mead in the basin. Now that the alarm is disabled you
can enter the house.

Inside the house get the Flatheadia Fudge, the jar of hotbugs and
the Hungus Lard from the shelves to the left. Get the mug from
the rack near the food processor. Read all the books you can find
(three on the shelves to the left, one in the corner by the door,
and two more on the shelves to the right. Listen to all the
messages on the answering machine. Save the game again.

the Quelbees. Quickly remove the lard and then use the sword on
the hive. Pick up the honeycomb.

Walk around the side of the house to find the teleport station.
Turn toward the house and look under the window. You will find a
small mushroom-shaped plant. Cast THROCK on the plant and then
place the snapdragon on top. Hit the plant with the hammer - the
snapdragon will jump to the windowsill and fetch a torn piece of
the SNAVIG scroll. .

Walk back around the house and go inside. Open the blinds and

scroll inside the envelope and place the envelope in the mailbox.
Close the mailbox and put the flag up. Head to the time tunnel on
and return to the present.

Hades

Use the teleport station to go to Hades. Go through the doorway
and pick up the phone. You now need to decode the automated
message system to get Charon to show up. This puzzle can be
difficult, but carefully listening to everything that is said
will get you through it.

When Charon arrives pay him two Zorkmids and he will take you to
hell. Open the mailbox there and get the envelope with the GLORF
spell.

Pay Charon 2 Zorkmids to take you back across the river, then use
the teleport station to return to the Spell Lab.

Spell Lab

Run the SNAVIG scroll through the spell checker to repair it. You
should now have a full book of spells. Teleport back to the
Crossroads.

Go to the secret entrance and use GLORF on the rope and take it.
Head back to the subway and take it to the Monastery.

The Monastery

Tie the rope to the sword and throw it up to the grate in the
ceiling. Climb up the rope.

Inside the Monastery is the Totemization device. You should save
the game at this point. Look at the controls and turn the wheel
with the light on it to disable the "PermaSeal" step. Change the
destination to the Inquisition chamber, then move to the entrance
to the machine and pull the lever.

After you land in the inquisition chamber pick up Lucy's totem
from the box. Look at all the displays, then exit the monastery.
Read all the signs on this side of the fence, then open the
message sender near the door. Remove the middle hammer to change
the message being sent to the guards, and then go back inside.

Go to the display on sealing up the time tunnels. Move the lever
to set the speed of the display to the fastest setting and turn
it on. After the hammer in the display breaks replace it with the

YASTARD spell.

Port Foozle (Lucy)

then use the "four" card with the fly buzzing around near the
door to make it a "five" card. Using the modified card solve the
math problem in the machine. You will be ushered into the back
room to play strip Grue, Fire, and Water with Jack.

Click on Jack before each round to read his mind, then select to
correct button to defeat him. Eventually he will give you the
Cube of Foundation and the walking castle will show up. Place the
cube on one of the cushions then exit the castle through the time
tunnel.

Hades

Head for Hades, either by going back down to the subway, or
setting the destination of the Totemizer and going through it
again. Once you're across the river again cast SNAVIG on Charon,
then go to the guard near the gates of Hell. He'll let you take
Charon's timecard, punch him out, then go through the gates of
Hell.

Pick up Brog's totem from the floor and move on to the Time
Tunnel. Cast NARWILE on the tunnel, then send Griff through with
the YASTARD spell.

The Dragon (Griff)

Turn to the left until you find an "island" Griff can fly to.
Push the claw, which will cause the sleeping dragon to shift,
revealing more places you can go. Find the box in the ship
wreckage and get the inflatable raft and man. On the dragon's
hand to the left of the wreckage is a skeleton holding an air
pump. Fly to the dragon's shout and place the raft and inflatable
man in his nostrils. Use the pump to inflate both. You can now
enter the dragon's mouth. Save the game before you go inside.

Once inside take the gold tooth and the Coconut of Quendor. Talk
to the guy inside the dragon until he throws you a rope. Ignore
his requests for help and place the Coconut inside the raft. Go
out side and tie the rope to the raft and inflatable man. Head
back inside the dragon's mouth again and use the gold tooth to
pop the inflatable man. After popping him you need to exit the
dragon's mouth very quickly. Find the raft and collect the
Coconut.

When the castle appears go inside and place the Coconut on the
cushion, then go through the time tunnel.

Hades

Charon won't take you back across the river because you've gone
through the gates of Hell. Cast SNAVIG on the two-headed guard
then go to Charon. He'll take you across the river. Use the
teleport to go to the Dungeon Master Lair. Go inside the house
and head back to the time tunnel in the wardrobe. Use YASTARD to
send Brog through the tunnel.

The White House (Brog)

Go to the cave entrance and take both torches. Go back to the
White House and rip the boards off the door. Once inside head
downstairs and collect the Grue eggs. Go back upstairs and use
the Flickering Torch with the pot in the corner, then place each
egg in the pot to boil it.

Once you have boiled all the eggs go back downstairs. Throw the
eggs at the stalactites until the break away and reveal a
platform you can jump to. Jump across the chasm to the Chess
puzzle and the Skull of Yorick.

There's no way for Brog to win the game, just use the board you
pulled from the door to smash the game and pick up the Skull.
Place the skull on the cushion in the castle and exit through the
time tunnel.

Jail

Once Brog returns you will be arrested and thrown in jail. Talk
to Jack through the air vent until he gives you a scroll. Use the
letter opener to unscrew the vent and take the scroll. Take the
poster off the wall. Use the scroll on the cell door to create a
lock. Place the poster under the door and push the key out of the
lock using the letter opener. Take the key and poster and unlock
the door. Save the game.

Go to the control panel to the left of the cell and examine the
blueprints. Watch the monitor until you see jack waving through
his cell window. Using the blueprints and the camera number that
displayed when you saw Jack figure out what cell he's in. Set the
controls to that cell number and press the button. Jack will go
get your stuff and come meet you at the control panel. The
walking castle will appear again and take you to Flathead Mesa.


Flathead Mesa

Once Gael has given you the scroll use it on your spellbook to
reverse all your spells. Go back into the castle and take all
three artifacts. Exit the castle.

Head toward the broadcast tower. Use the VORZER spell to close
the guard tent, then use MARGI to reveal the invisible fence.
Unplug the fence, and then cut it with the sword. You now need to
place the artifacts in the correct positions on the tower. The
Skull goes in a box at the bottom of the tower, the Cube goes in
the hole halfway up the tower, and the Coconut goes in one of the
cups at the top of the tower. After you place the Coconut Dalboz
will have you balance the cups using the lantern.

After placing all the items look up and cut the wire using the
sword. Once the Grand Inquisitor starts climbing the tower cast
the spell to bind the parts of magic.

The Inquisitor will be destroyed, the creatures trapped in totems
will all be freed, Lucy will be elected Queen, and you will
become the fourth Dungeon Master.

Congratulations. You've successfully completed Zork: Grand
Inquisitor.
