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 
oudspeaker. 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 l
eaves 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.

wall. Cast KENDALL on the instructions to make them less confusing. Press the Hades button, turn 
around and step onto the platform.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 one 
you took from the message system. Activate the display again and the planks over the time tunnel 
are destroyed.

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.

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.

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.
