What is Discworld? AAA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Discworld is a game based on the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett. These novels all take place in a fantasy setting, which probably doesn't sound all that interesting to many people, as there are craploads of fantasy novels on the market. What Discworld completely sets above all those other books is that it doesn't tell stories of great heroes rescuing some damsel in distress, but that Pratchett's novels are crammed with irony and humor in general, even with clever allusions to the real world. Ok, so now you generally know about the books, but what about the game? There isn't all that much to say about the game, except for it being a point and click adventure like Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer and such. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2. Controls BBB ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Press the left mouse button once to go to where the cursor points. Press the left mouse button twice to manipulate an object, e.g. picking it up or to quickly reach some point on the map. Press the right mouse button to investigate an object. Press F1 to open the menu. Press Escape to close a window in the menu. Press Escape to completely skip cutscenes and dialogues. Press the left mouse button to skip a sentence in a dialogue. Press the left mouse button on the luggage or on Rincewind to open the inventories. You can (and should) enlarge the luggage's inventory by moving the cursor to the right-low corner of the inventory, clicking and holding the left mouse button and moving it to the right and/or down, just like you would when enlarging a window on a Windows PC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3. Walkthrough CCC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=3.1 Act I=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=CC1 ----------------------------- Inside the unseen university: ----------------------------- Open the wardrobe and pick up the pouch before opening the door and leaving the room. Head down the stairs to the arch chancellor's room. Leave after the conversation. Further go down the stairs to the closet where you pick up the broom. Use it in your room to wake up the luggage. Give the banana inside the luggage to the librarian. Return to the arch chancellor to show him the book and to be informed about what you need to find to build a dragon lair detector. Enter the dining room to the right of the arch chancellor's room and use the broom on Windle Poons's magic stick in order to obtain it. Hand over the stick to the arch chancellor. One down, four more to go. --------------------------- In the university's garden: --------------------------- Leave the university and ask the apprentice a question to make a frog appear. Pick it up. Take the path to the backside of the building where you nab a bag of fertilizer. -------------------------- In the Patrician's palace: -------------------------- The palace is close by on the right. Talk to either guard, asking him a question. If you have to enter the palace again, later on, ask the other guard a question.

Then use pickpocket on his pocket to obtain the hair roller. -------------- At the square: -------------- Head for the square just south of the palace. Pick up a tomato at the tomato booth. Talk to the boy to steal the pants of one of the old men. Throw the tomato at the tax collector and try to pick up a new tomato. This triggers a worm to crawl on the ground in front of the booth.

Manipulate the mirror to attract the dragon, giving you the dragon's breath. Return to the roofs and pick up the ladder on the left. Get back down by clicking on the window near the long ladder. Use the corn on the heater in the alchemist's house. Combine the worm with the string (pick up one of them and double-click when the cursor is on the other one).

Bring all required objects to the archancellor. ------------------- Searching the lair: ------------------- The lair is at the south eastern end of the city in a barn.

Release the butterfly at the lantern at the corner near the troll's store.

After you are thrown out, use the ladder on the drum sign to get a drum stick. -------------------- Back in the present: -------------------- Use the gong in the university's dining room to make the apprentice who used to sit in the garden enter the hall. Use the matches on the left object in the closet. It shows to be a lamp, allowing you to pick up the bag of starch on the shelf. Grab a banana in the kitchen. Pick up the prunes in the garden. ------------------- At the broken drum: ------------------- Now it's the broken drum...thx to you. ^^ Talk to the scared guy. Look at the green bottle behind the bartender and talk to him to get a glass of that, which explains why you are drunk in L space. Pick up the empty glass and some matches.

Combine the ladder and the bra. This allows you to place the ladder on the far right of the shades to build a silent bridge over to a small room. Enter it. Trying to nab the golden key will make the thief turn over. Afterwards use the feather on him to make him roll back again. Now steal the key. ------------- In the alley: ------------- Put the hogfather doll into Rincewind's inventory. Get up onto the roofs and put the doll into the chimney on the right.

Congratulations: That's been Discworld. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4. FAQ DDD ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Q: Argh, if I have to walk down the whole street again to reach the toy store / the barber shop, I'm gonna have enough. A: Ok, not really a question and actually nobody sent this in (How could anybody? This FAQ hasn't even been posted so far.), but still I thought this was nice to know: On the map of Ankh-Morpork, the street consists of two separate parts. If you click on the left part you are heading to the toy store and if you click on the right part you end up at the barber shop. Saves quite a bit of time. Q: Does every object you can pick up serve a purpose? A: No, some are totally useless, like the pink cow toy and the green dino puppet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5. Closing Comments EEE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh well, I really love the Discworld novels, for they are funny and cleverly written. There's always a lot more to them than meets the eye at first. Unfortunately the game is badly designed, illogical and never near as funny as a Terry Pratchett novel. Usually you would expect a point and click adventure to give you something of a hint as what to do next, but here you only know where you have to end after the next few dozen actions, meaning you have check out everything and combine just about every object with every other object. Many puzzles also are downright stupid, so you cannot possibly think of the solution. In addition sometimes new objects just pop out of nowhere at places you have already visited. If it wasn't for the sometimes great humour and for the Discworld setting, I probably couldn't have stood this game for more than an hour. I'd appreciate any comments, questions, high scores, critics or whatsoever, so please mail me at [email protected] if you have anything to tell me (even misspellings and stuff). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 6. Experimental FFF ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In some other guides I've seen the author implement the following and I thought "Why not give it a try for your own guides?": If you really like this guide and you think it helped you or entertained you a bit or whatsoever and you feel like rewarding me not only by writing a nice e-mail, feel free to send some money to my paypal account at: [email protected] Of course I don't want to make somebody send me money who doesn't really want to (even if I could, I wouldn't ;) ), but (also of course) I'd appreciate any contribution. Thank you very much for reading this guide and hopefully some more of my stuff on gamefaqs.
