Crypt of Medea

Crypt of Medea

This is a step by step solution to CRYPT OF MEDEA by SIR-TECH, an
old Apple adventure but well done. I hope that it will take you
through the game to a successful conclusion. Words with capital
letters can be abbreviated by the capital letters. The parser
looks for four letter words which can save some typing. Save the
game often because a wrong step will kill you. For example, you
will die when you swing on the rope if you are carrying too. Going
East from the lab with the table without the rod will also kill
you. Also there are things you can do which I don't mention in the
solution which will get you killed. They are fun to try but not
without a save game.

When you go down through the trap door, you must have the flask,
candle, matches, shovel, and gloves.

At this point, save the game and turn the sound off with control
s. Timing is crucial. You must be prepared to enter the next three
commands quickly. The timing is crucial and regular Apple II speed
necessary - normal speed on a GS and will work.
Light bomb, drop bomb, South, North, North, use axe, North, Up.
You are done - the game records 70 experience points here. I don't
think that there are any more.
