HINT SHEET FOR THE ROYAL PUZZLE
-------------------------------

WARNING: This hint sheet gives away the entire game, so use it only if it is absolutely necessary and try only to read one hint each time you consult this hint sheet.

.
.
HINT 1: To get started, go down, then push the east wall (or south wall if you prefer).
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 2: As you will notice, only sandstone walls can be pushed and only if they are not blocked by walls behind them.
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 3: A valuable object can be found within the royal puzzle. This is the treasure you are looking for. You need to escape the royal puzzle without loosing it.
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 4: There is a door within the puzzle. However, you can only exit through this door by giving up the valuable object. Thus you have lost the treasure if you do so. So ignore the door.
.

HINT 5: Have you noticed the ladders on some of the walls?
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 6: There are two ladders. The one attached to a west wall is useless. The one attached to an east wall is crucial.
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 7: By pushing several sandstone walls, you need to move the ladder to the start location of the puzzle, where there is a large opening in the ceiling. Then you can climb up the ladder with the valuable object.
.
.
.
.
.
HINT 8: It is recommended to draw a map of all initial wall positions within the puzzle and then make a plan on how to approach the problem.
.

HINT 9: If you can't figure out the puzzle yourself, a walkthrough for the royal puzzle is available online as part of a walkthrough for Dungeon (also known as ZORK). The walkthrough does not provide the fastest solution though. The walkthrough can be found here: http://ifarchive.jmac.org/if-archive/solutions/dungeon.sol
