Knightmare Challenge!

For the dragonmints problem, take the dragonmints and the dagger. Give Velda the dagger before hand, and she'll give you a CAGE spell. Give Owen the dragonmints, then in the next room (where you got captured) you'll use CAGE to escape being captured.
I'll give you a clue. Right is right. That's your clue to find the Talisman.

i got the same ending

Getting the different endings is a good thing, especially when you work out what one of the clues means.
Then it's a matter of finding a certain set of rooms. That's what took me longest. I had clues, but for a while had no idea what her clue meant, because I hadn't found those chambers.
I think it's great that this game has managed to frustrate so many people. I'm not being evil, but commenting on how well it's been put together to make it have such long-term playability. As I mentioned on another thread, these games are usually pretty darn simple, but this one is a brilliant challenge, without being completely unfair. And it's original- true to the original, but with enough new storyline to make it interesting.
I sincerely hope you think about making another one sometime in the future.

It is amazing.

...which is exactly what didn't happen for me.
Maybe I'm just not as patient as everybody else, but having found the alphabet chambers without any clues (I haven't found the 'her' ending people have been mentioning) and being given no clues whatsoever (don't you dare say anything about taking the right-hand path), I don't think I should be punished just because I haven't trogged through the game just to get another fake ending.That's what killed its playability for me - there may be many paths to take, but you are -forced- to take them all in order to "win". As I said elsewhere, though, I enjoyed it as I played it, and I'll certainly play the next one as well.
Arcengel - I remember somewhere you said that people could mail you for the solution/help, but I can't find that thread or an email address for you...

Well, I've played this game many times and I've managed to find the alphabet dungeons, but when I get through that there isn't many options you can do (it's all automated) and I end up on the normal path again afterwards. When I get to the end and defeat the baddie I encounter I get one of those fake endings again!
So, I don't know whether there's a hidden button (on the right screen) you have to locate with your cursor and click on it or something, but I followed the clues carefully and to the letter and I'm still not receiving the 'true' ending! Any more advice?
-
Hm, I don't get this game. I've had three "fake" endings (Lord Fear, Morghanna and Sir Precival, whomever he is) and I can't quite work out the clue that Morghanna gave me.
I tried doing the Sir Precival ending again, but for some reason I died right after I met Brangwen, also I didn't find what Morghanna told me to look for. I'm missing something major and I can't figure out what it is.

Heading in Sir P's general direction is (as i remember, anyway) a good way to go to find what the lovely lady was talking about.
I wonder who does her hair.

Nope, three more attempts taking different routes, one of them through the alphabet rooms, and I still don't have the 'her' ending, just sir smegging precifal again. And that's my boredom limit exhausted again.
Anyone care to furnish me with a solution via the private message feature on these boards?
-
Nope,
No, that advice wouldn't help you much, since I was actually responding to Jericho 6's post. I think if you want the "her" ending, where you have a certain choice of 3 paths, you need to go straight ahead. I should point out that it may not be a 100% correct memory, however, before anyone quotes it and tells me it's wrong.

Hehe, that'll not be helping

You're right. Unfortunately, even armed with the two 'passwords' and 'her' information, and being able to get to the alphabet chambers and find at least one portal within, I still don't find the talisman, just the silly precifal ending again. So assume I'm not getting to the alphabet chambers via the route indicated with the passwords.
With early text adventure games, before parsers became more advanced, you'd often find yourself in a situation with a problem that you knew the solution for, but you couldn't get past it because you weren't using quite the right combination of words, as far as the author was concerned. It tended to get called "guess-the-verb" syndrome; you'd solved the puzzle to all intents and purposes, but until you guessed the correct verb, you were 'stuck' on that puzzle. I guess that's how I feel about this game.
Incidentally, am I right in guessing that Sir Precifal (and the ghost that you cast AVAUNT on, too, I think) are in fact images of the coder behind this fiendish thing?
