Specific Hints


Q. How do I get rid of all of my items (aside from the gold)?

A. Put everything aside from the gold, the fake grails, and the key into the barrel (after all the boards are in place, of course).



Q. How do I get rid of the gold?

A. Get rid of every single gold coin by choosing the right combination and number of shrubs on Intershrub. For instance, if you didn't take any gold from the page in the Book, and hadn't gotten a shrub yet (761 gold coins), you could get rid of the gold by buying a Hibiscus, 3 Azaleas, and 5 Elderberries.

Here's a handy list of the shrubs in order of costliness:
Elderberry: 12 gold coins
Azalea: 67 gold coins
Dombeya: 375 gold coins
Hibiscus: 500 gold coins
Juniper: 757 gold coins
Wattle: 937 gold coins
Laurel: 1122 gold coins
Lilac: 2398 gold coins
Oleander: 5001 gold coins


Q. I spent some gold on shrubbery, but now I have less left than the cheapest shrub!

A. If you got your math wrong, don't worry: the page before Intershrub has a nice supply of coins you can take, and please do a better job of planning your purchases ahead this time! The piles of gold have 1, 16, or 256 coins, so plan carefully how much more to take after looking carefully at the shrubbery prices (listed above).


Q. What can I take across the bridge safely?

A. You can only take the four fake grails and the key.
