![]() ![]() Interestingly, the other options are just entries from a thesaurus in alphabetical order starting with “aardvark” if I remember correctly. Having read the small rock in front of the mine I was able to choose “beer” from a short list of options and this satisfied the guard. Now the guard accepted me as a proper dwarf but asked me for a password. The rib bone is connected to the.arm bone. When I cut off the beard I had no clue what I might need it for but after the conversation with the guard it all became clear. This is one more puzzle that reminds me a lot of another one from Monkey Island 2 (sawing off the wooden leg when one of the three pirates is asleep). Now I don’t mean to harp on it but.well, maybe I do. ![]() Why? Because I examined the “Drunken Druid” more closely, too, and figured out that there was a dwarf who was so drunk that he’d fallen asleep so I could cut off his beard with the scissors. It’s a good thing that I was already carrying a beard at this point. When you do read the dialogue more carefully the guard gives you another hint: dwarves have beards. Amateur hour at the adventurers guild, right? Reading my previous post (and some of my older notes) I actually wrote down that I should find a way to dress like a dwarf to enter the mine but somehow I still must have confused dwarves and goblins somehow. To be fair it would totally make sense geographically but I must have read the dialogue inside the dwarf mine in passing only because the guard clearly tells me that I’m not a dwarf. This didn’t help me at first but then I noticed – as mentioned above – that the dwarf mine is not the goblin jail. This time I accidentally hovered above its hotspot with the cursor and thus was able to pick it up and discover the secret message underneath: “beer”. It’s not that small but it’s the same colour as its surroundings which is why I have missed it. First of all there’s a small rock on the screen called the “centre of the forest”. The 2 hours I spent retracing my previous steps were also well spent because I discovered a couple more items and things to do. ![]() Also I had always been confused by the close proximity of the dwarf mine and the goblin jail so only then did I discover that they were completely separate environments at all, sharing but one common feature: they’re both situated underground. The world seemed so much more coherent now. ![]() I enjoy mapping a lot so it hasn’t been a big hassle and when I started mapping I wondered why I hadn’t done it before. Go and Wishlist it on Steam right now.Obviously it has been some time since I last played Simon the Sorcerer so I decided to start over and make a proper map. Simon the Sorcerer – Origins is coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch in early 2023. Our goal will be to create a new world brought to life with beautiful modern visuals and all new gameplay mechanics to tell the untold story of Simon’s origins”. “It has been a long time wish of ours to revive one of the gaming industry’s best loved and iconic characters. “We are beyond excited to finally be able to announce Simon the Sorcerer – Origins and embark on the exciting development journey with Smallthing Studios” commented Leonardo Caltagirone, founder of Leonardo Interactive. By applying some modern visuals and cutting edge gameplay mechanics to the development of Simon the Sorcerer – Origins, this latest title should be highly appealing to fans of the original – as well as those from a new generation of gamers excited for the current revival of these classic franchises. Having paved the way for many of the beloved point and click graphic adventures that have been entertaining fans for three decades, it could be said that Simon the Sorcerer stole the hearts of gamers when it was released on MS DOS and Amiga – yep, we were Team Amiga back then.
