This walkthrough provides step-by-step instructions for completing Aliard's Tome from beginning to end. As such, it will contain spoilers for every puzzle, so do not read this if you'd rather attempt to solve them yourself. This guide consists of three parts. The first part is a list of commands the text parser recognizes. The second part provides some more general hints. The third part provides the game's solution. Text Parser Commands All text commands consist of one word or a two word phrase in the form VERB NOUN. N (for north) S (for south) E (for east) W (for west) L (for look) I (for inventory) H (checks your health) SCORE GET OBJECT TAKE OBJECT (equivalent to GET OBJECT above for all purposes) DROP OBJECT GIVE OBJECT UNLOCK OBJECT DRINK OBJECT USE OBJECT TIE OBJECT EXAMINE OBJECT LIGHT OBJECT OPEN OBJECT POUR OBJECT READ OBJECT SIT OBJECT CLIMB OBJECT RUB OBJECT BLOW OBJECT KILL CHARACTER SAY WORD SWIM SAVE LOAD HELP (gives mainly useless information but is amusing) QUIT General Hints: You can save and load the game at any time but there's only one save slot. Saving the game overwrites previous saves. Not every of the above commands is necessary to complete the game. Similary not every object is necessary to complete the game and some are even harmful if not used properly. EXAMINE is a very useful command. Not only can you examine objects on the ground or in your inventory, but also some things in room descriptions. Numbers next to objects denote their weight. Some objects are weightless and have no number. Some objects have no number but are too heavy to carry, mainly chests and furniture. You lose health with every action you take. You lose even more health if you are carrying more than 40 pounds worth of objects unless you complete a specific task first. One room in the caves restores your health on entering it, and you can enter it any number of times. * around an object means that it adds to your score when it is in your inventory. In total objects contribute 99 points of score; completing the game awards the last point. As long as clothing items (gauntlets, boots, gas mask) are in your inventory, you will use them automatically when necessary. Walking around without boots or shoes will cause more health damage over time. Most rooms are dark. An early goal is to get a lamp. You can interact with objects in a dark room the same way you can in a lit room. Lighting a match will show the room's description and objects in the area for a brief moment. It is possible to get stuck and make the game unwinnable. However the game has no randomness to it (except for one minor part at the end), so the solutions are the same every time you play. Step-by-Step Walkthrough This is not a unique solution. It is possible to complete the game by performing some actions in a different order or skipping optional treasure. 1. W 2. GET AXE 3.
