Three treasures which gave the kingdom of Daventry its power were stolen. The
magic mirror had the power to read the future, the shield protected the kingdom
from attack even against powerful armies and the chest had always remained full
of coins. King Edward the Benevolent had ruled over the kingdom for many years,
but remained without a son or daughter to inherit his throne. In his last days,
the King summons his favourite knight Sir Graham to this throne room. He tells
Graham about the treasures that were stolen, and that only the recovery of the
three items will restore power back to Daventry. Graham is promised that he
will become King over all of Daventry if he succeeds in this task.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.1. The Magic Mirror
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The game starts outside of Daventry castle, where a nearby bridge leads over a
moat containing two vicious alligators. Our first aim is to cross the bridge.
Start by using the arrow keys to move Graham down toward the bridge. Pressing
the same arrow key a second time stops Graham walking in that direction. Make
sure to walk onto the bridge from the top side, and not from the right side
which will often make Graham fall into the water. If it makes things easier,
you can use the end key and page down to walk diagonally over the bridge.
After safely making it over to the other side of the bridge, continue west to
the next area. Walk up the carpet to the doors and open them to enter the main
hall of the castle. Go north to the corner and then west to the throne room.
Approach the bottom step in front of the old King and bow to him. Talk to the
king next, and he will explain that he wants Graham to prove himself worthy of
the throne by bringing three items back to the castle: A magic mirror, a magic
shield and a magic chest. Press any key to return to the game.
Walk east and then south twice to exit the castle. Walk west across the bridge,
remembering to stay at the top of the bridge to avoid falling into the water,
and then continue west to an area with a rock in it. Walk behind the rock and
push it to reveal a hole in the ground. Make sure not to push the rock from the
front as it will crush Graham. Take the dagger from the hole and then walk
north to the large tree in the next area. Climb up the tree to see a golden egg
in a nest. Before doing anything else, save the game by pressing F5.
With the game saved, walk carefully across the branch making sure to stay away
from the edges. Graham will not die if he falls from this branch, but saving
the game prevents you from having to climb up the tree again. The page up key
can be used to good effect here to walk diagonally up the branch. If you do
fall down from the tree at a certain point, F7 can be used to restore the game.
Get the egg from the nest in the middle of the tree. With the egg in the
inventory you can now walk off the branch to fall to the bottom of the tree.
Walk east, then north to a peaceful lake area where an elf should be walking
around. If he doesn't appear, leave and return the area until he does. Talk to
the elf and he will give Graham a ring that has the power to turn its owner
invisible. Before he leaves, the elf warns that the ring can only be used once.
Walk west twice to the well area. Walk behind the bucket in the well and cut
the rope using the dagger from the hole. The bucket will be added to Graham's
inventory. Walk to the top-right corner of the well and lower the rope.
The rope now dangling down into the darkness of the well, so climb on the rope
and then press the down arrow key to descend into the well. The rope ends
above a pool of water at the bottom of the well. Continue down to the bottom of
the rope to fall into the water. As with all calm water in the game, Graham
will splash about helplessly until you tell him to swim. With Graham now calmly
swimming in the water at the bottom of the well, dive into the water.
An old bottle and a can litter the ground at the bottom of the pool, but they
can't be picked up. The hole at the bottom-left corner of the water looks more
interesting, so swim into it. Graham exits the water to find himself in the
cave of a fire-breathing dragon. Walk east to the water area to refill the
bucket and then return to the cave. Type the command to throw the water but
don't enter it yet. Walk up close to the dragon and then press enter to throw
the water over the dragon. The dragon leaves in a sulk, moving a big boulder on
the way. With the dragon gone, get the mirror near the boulder.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.2. The Magic Chest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The bucket is currently empty as it was used to extinguish the flames of the
dragon, so walk back through the hole at the right side of the cave to fill it
up with water again. Swim west back into the cave. Walk west through the hole
at the side of the boulder and then continue west to exit the cave. Outside,
walk south twice to arrive in an area with a stump. Look in the stump to see an
old pouch inside. Get the pouch and open it to see diamonds inside.
Walk west once to see a calm lake. You shouldn't need to get too close to the
edge of the lake, but if you do fall in then just start swimming. Walk north
twice from the lake area and then west once to arrive in a field with a group
of clovers. Collect the four leaf clover from the middle of the group. Go south
to the next area. A fairy may appear in this area to cast a spell on Graham,
protecting him temporarily from the effects of monsters. If the fairy does not
appear, just keep exiting this area and returning to it until she does.
Walk west and get a carrot from the garden. Walk north twice to an area with
rocks near a river. Be careful not to drop into the river, as it is flowing too
fast for Graham to be able to swim in it. Walk west to the next area and get
the bowl on the grass. Read the bowl to see that a word has been written on the
bottom of the bowl. Walk west again and get the walnut below the tree. Open the
walnut to see that to discover that it contains a nut made of pure gold.
From the walnut tree, walk north one screen and then east one screen. Walk onto
the beach near the powerful river and get a handful of pebbles. Walk north to
see a mushroom on the other side of the river. Walk west three times to see a
woodcutter's house. Enter the house and give the bowl to the woodcutter. He is
puzzled why Graham has placed an empty bowl on his table, so say the word fill
to fill the bowl with stew. Very grateful, woodcutter and his wife offer their
fiddle to Graham. Get the fiddle from the corner and then exit the house.
Walk south twice to see a gingerbread house in a clearing. Walk to the front
of the house and eat it. Open the door to enter the house. Quickly walk over to
the bedroom at the right side of the house and wait in the bedroom. A witch
should enter the house. If the witch doesn't appear, exit the house and then go
back in to the bedroom again until she does. The witch will move over to the
stove after she enters the house. Walk up to the witch and push her. With the
witch gone, the house is now safe to explore.
Open the cupboard and get the cheese on the shelf. Walk into the bedroom and
take the note on the table. Exit the house and walk west once, then south twice
to an area with a goat pen. Open the gate and enter the pen. Show the carrot to
the goat and it will start to follow Graham. Exit the pen and walk south three
times, then west once to see a bridge. Cross the bridge and the goat will butt
the troll off the bridge. The bridge is now safe to cross, so continue west to
the next area to see an old gnome walking around. Talk to the gnome and he will
challenge Graham to guess his name in three tries.
An old fairy tale had a character named Rumplestiltskin that also asked that
his name be guessed in three tries. Entering this name, the gnome mentions that
the guess is close but not quite right. Read the note found in the gingerbread
house, which mentions that it may be wise to think backwards. Rumplestiltskin
when spelt backwards gives Nikstlitselpmur which doesn't work. The key is to
reverse the letters of the alphabet, so that A would become Z for example. When
this method is used on the word Rumplestiltskin, the gnome's name is shown.
Tell the gnome that his name is Ifnkovhgroghprm and he will be astounded that
his name was guessed. He exits the area, leaving some beans on the ground. If
his name was not guessed, he leaves a key on the ground. Get the beans or the
key and then walk east twice to an area where flowers are growing in the soil.
If you have the beans, plant the bean to see a beanstalk grow. Climb onto the
beanstalk and prepare for one of the most difficult sections of the game. In
the first screen Graham will not die if he falls, but there are another three
screens above this where Graham can die if he falls. Save frequently, and at
the top of the beanstalk Graham will step onto the Land of the Clouds.
If you didn't guess the gnome's name, then a different route has to be taken to
reach the Land of the Clouds. From the beanstalk soil, walk south twice to the
area where the bird appears. Walk east three times to see a door built into the
bottom of a mountain. Use the key on the door to enter a cave with steps which
lead up to the Land of the Clouds. It is very easy to fall off the edge, so be
sure to save frequently on the way up. Use the page up key when walking up the
first set of steps, and the end key on the second set of steps. Go through the
cave exit at the top of the steps to enter the Land of the Clouds.
The beanstalk route leads to a cloud at the west side of the land, while the
mountain steps route leads to a cave exit at the east side of the land. From
the top of the beanstalk, walk east twice, south and then east twice to see a
hole in a tree. From the cave exit, just go south one screen to arrive in the
area with the hole in the tree. Look in the hole and get the sling. Walk north,
then west to see the fierce giant that guards the magic chest.
If you have the magic ring from the elf, you can wear it and rub it to turn
invisible. One disadvantage to this method is that when the ring disappears,
three points are taken off the score. The giant will be unable to find Graham
and will walk around until he falls asleep. If you don't have the ring, hide
behind the tree at the top-left corner of the area. It will be easier to enter
this area from the left side, as the giant starts further away. Another way of
getting the magic chest is to use the slingshot and pebbles. This defeats the
giant quickly but does not give as many points. Either way, the giant will fall
onto the grass holding the chest. Get the chest.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.3. The Magic Shield
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walk east to the next area. Enter the cave and save at the top of steps. Use
the page down key to walk down the first set of steps, and the end key to walk
down the second set of steps. Exit the cave and then walk east to an area near
a lake. If you didn't talk to the elf in this area earlier, then talk to him
now to receive the magic ring. His main purpose in the game is to make things
easier when waiting for the giant to fall asleep, but at this point in the game
you may have already done that by hiding behind the tree. Collecting the ring
is also required when going for a maximum points.
Walk west four times, swimming through a lake on the second screen, to return
to the exit of the cave where the mirror was found. Exit and return to this
area until a bird appears and flies around the area. Walk behind the rock at
the right side of the area and jump when the bird flies down above Graham. The
bird carries Graham and drops him off in an area on the other side of a river.
Walk west and get the mushroom. Walk back to the east and fall down the hole.
Graham lands in a cave after falling through the hole. Walk south and then west
to see a rat running about in front of a door. The rat is dangerous, so save
the game at this point. Walk up close to the rat and give it the cheese. It
scrambles into a hole in the wall and disappears. The message which appears
about counting your fingers after the rat has been given the cheese is a valid
command, and Graham says that he is relieved to see he still has all of them.
Open the door to enter a room with two leprechauns that are under the power of
the fourleaf clover that is being carried. Play the fiddle and the leprechauns
will dance out of the cave. Walk south to the throne room. Before the fiddle
was played, eleven normal leprechauns and the King leprechaun were here, and
the King's magic prevented Graham from getting close to him. After the fiddle
has been played, only the King remains. Seeing that all of his followers have
left the cave, he leaves as well, but forgets to take his sceptre with him.
Get the sceptre and the shield near the throne. Walk west up the steps to see a
small hole that Graham can not climb through due to his size. Eat the mushroom
and Graham will shrink to the size of a mouse. Before the effects can wear off,
walk through the hole to exit the cave. Almost immediately, Graham returns to
his original size. Walk east, north twice and then east to return to the castle
entrance. Carefully cross the bridge and then open the door. Walk north, then
west to the throne room. Approach the steps and bow to the King.
In the ending, The King smiles and then rises from his throne. Graham walks up
to the throne and the King commends him on recovering the three treasures. As
the King walks forward, he stumbles and falls to the floor. In his dying words
he praises Graham for being a good and faithful servant, telling him that his
reward is well deserved and that the kingdom of Daventry is now his. Edward the
Benevolent then dies, and Graham begins his reign as the King of Daventry.

BIRD
Found one screen north-west of the well. If Graham jumps under the bird, it
will carry him over to the other side of the Raging River.
DRAGON
Found in the cave at the bottom of the well. Guardian of the magic mirror,
the dragon can have its flames extinguished with a bucket of water. It can be
killed with the dagger, but less points are given this way.
DWARF
Found one screen north of the walnut tree, and on the steps leading up to the
Land of the Clouds. The dwarf will steal a treasure that Graham is carrying.
If no treasures are being carried, the dwarf will leave Graham alone.
ELF
Found one screen north-east of the tree with the gold egg. When Graham talks
to the elf, he will give Graham a ring which can make the owner invisible.
FAIRY
Found one screen south of the clover tree. The fairy casts a spell that will
temporarily protect Graham from enemies.
GIANT
Found in the Land of the Clouds, the giant guards the magic chest. He can be
killed with the slingshot, although more points are given if he falls asleep.
This is done by hiding behind the tree at the top-left corner of the area.
GNOME
Found on the other side of the bridge two screens north of the clover tree.
The gnome will ask Graham to guess his name in three tries. If the answer is
correct, magic beans are given. If the answer is incorrect, a key is given.
GOAT
Found in the goat pen one screen west of the well. When shown a carrot, the
goat will follow Graham to an area where it will butt a troll off a bridge.
On the way, the goat can scare off many enemies.
GRAHAM
The main character of the game. As the King's favourite knight, Graham has
been asked to retrieve three stolen treasures from the land of Daventry.
LEPRECHAUNS
Found in the leprechaun cave, they are harmless when Graham is holding the
four-leaf clover. If he does not hold the clover they are deadly, as they
will kill him if they catch him. The leprechauns enjoy music.
LEPRECHAUN KING
Sitting on his throne in the leprechaun cave, the leprechaun King will only
leave the cave when all of his guards have danced off due to Graham's fiddle
playing. He leaves behind a magic shield and a sceptre.
KING EDWARD THE BENEVOLENT
Found in the throne room of the castle. This elderly King has requested that
Sir Graham should recover three magic treasures from the kingdom of Daventry.
OGRE
Found one screen south of the area where the dagger was found. Graham can
stand in front of the bush or the tree stumps to avoid being caught. The ogre
will crush Graham if he catches him, but will stay away if he has the shield.
SORCERER
Found one screen east of the witch's house. The sorcerer casts a spell that
freezes Graham to the spot, although he will be able to move again after a
while. Graham will be safe from the sorcerer if he has the shield.
RAT
Found outside the entrance to the leprechaun cave. This hungry rat will run
off after he has been given a piece of cheese. A treasure can also be given
if Graham doesn't have the cheese, although this gives less points.
TROLL
Found on all of the bridges surrounding the area with the gnome. He blocks
the way, but will not harm Graham. The goat can butt the troll off the edge
of the bridge. For less points, the troll moves when he is given a treasure.
WITCH
Found one screen north of the well and in the gingerbread house, the witch
was responsible for stealing the magic chest. After hiding when the witch
enters her house, Graham can push her into the stove to defeat her.
WOLF
Found one screen east of the well. A fast enemy, it is best to either avoid
the area that the wolf inhabits or to walk walk at the bottom of the area so
that an escape can be made if he appears. The shield will protect Graham.
WOODCUTTER
Found in the house two screens south of the well. The man and his wife give
Graham the fiddle in exchange for a bowl that can be filled by saying a word.
WOODCUTTER'S WIFE
Found in the house two screens south of the well. Sitting at the table with
the woodcutter, they let Graham have the fiddle in exchange for the bowl.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.1. Item Information
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEANS
Found by correctly guessing the gnome's name within three tries. They are
planted in the soil two screens east of the gnome to make a beanstalk grow.
CARROT
Found in the garden one screen north of the castle entrance. It is shown to
the goat one screen west of the well to make it follow Graham.
CERAMIC BOWL
The bowl is found two screens north and one screen west from the garden. It
is given to the people in the old house for the fiddle.
CHEESE
Found in the cupboard in the witch's house. It is given to the rat in the
room with the door outside the cave with the leprechauns.
CHEST
Found in the Land of the Clouds when the giant falls asleep. It is one of
the three treasures of Daventry that King Edward has asked to be recovered.
DAGGER
Found in a hole under the rock one screen west of the castle entrance. It is
used to cut the rope attached to the bucket in the well.
FIDDLE
Found by filling the bowl on the table in the woodcutter's house. It is
played in the leprechaun cave to make the leprechauns dance out of the cave.
FOURLEAF CLOVER
The clover is found one screen north-east from the left side of the goat pen.
It is used to protect Graham from the leprechauns in the leprechaun cave.
GOLD EGG
Found in a nest at the top of a large oak tree one screen north of the area
where the dagger was found. It is not used.
GOLD WALNUT
Found by opening the walnut. Although probably valuable, the only purpose
in finding the gold in the walnut is for extra points as it is not used.
KEY
Found by failing to correctly guess the gnome's name within three tries. It
is used to unlock the door one screen north of the tree with the gold egg.
LEATHER SLINGSHOT
Found in a hole in a tree one screen south-east of the giant in the Land of
the Clouds. It can be used to fire pebbles at the giant.
MAGIC RING
Found by talking to the elf one screen north-east of the tree with the gold
egg. It can be worn and then rubbed by Graham to hide from the giant.
MAGIC MIRROR
Found in the dragon cave at the bottom of the well. It is one of the three
treasures of Daventry that King Edward has asked to be recovered.
MUSHROOM
Found in the area one screen west from the location where the bird drops
Graham. It is eaten to walk through the exit in the leprechaun cave.
NOTE
Found on the table in the witch's house. The note is read, and mentions a
clue that is helpful in guessing the name of the gnome.
PEBBLES
Found on the beach one screen north-east from the walnut tree. They can be
fired at the giant in the Land of the Clouds using the slingshot.
POUCH
Found in the stump one screen south-west from the well. The pouch is opened
to see that it contains a collection of diamonds.
POUCH OF DIAMONDS
Found by opening the pouch. Although the diamonds are probably valuable, the
only purpose in viewing them is for extra points as they are not used.
SCEPTRE
Found in the throne room of the leprechaun cave, the sceptre can only be
collected when the leprechauns have danced out of the cave. It is not used.
SHIELD
Found in the throne room of the leprechaun cave. It is one of the three
treasures of Daventry that King Edward has asked to be recovered.
WALNUT
Found on the grass one screen south-west of the beach where the pebbles are
found. The walnut is opened to make the gold walnut.
WATER BUCKET
Found by using the dagger to cut the rope attached to the well. It is filled
with water from the bottom of the well and is then thrown on the dragon.
ABOVE MAXIMUM POINTS
It is possible to finish the game with 159 out of 158 points, one point above
the maximum amount. When the bowl is found one screen east of the walnut, do
not read the word inside it. If the word inside the bowl has been read before
it is put in the table in the woodcutter's house, then you will receive one
point for reading the word and no points for putting it on the table. If the
word has not been read, then you will receive two points for putting the bowl
on the table. So, do not read the bowl to get higher points.
COUNTING FINGERS
Giving the cheese to the rat outside the leprechaun cave gives a message that
says you might want to count your fingers. When this command is entered, a
message replies that Graham is relieved to see that he still has all of them.
The same message appears even if Graham hasn't give the cheese to the rat.
KNIGHT RIDER GNOME
When the gnome asks Graham to guess his name, typing Mikel gives the message
"What do you think I am, a car? This also won't get you a raise. Nice try.".
This refers to the character Michael Knight in the TV series Knight Rider,
which was made in the early 1980s. There is no more information on the raise
comment, as it seems to have been a joke between people working on the game.
Hold Alt + D to access debug mode. Type "Get object" followed by a number to
collect any item in the game, or "TP" followed by a number to teleport to a
new location. "Pos" can be used to move Graham around in a room.

Action: Fall into the moat with the alligators.
Location: Outside the castle.
Message: Misfortune strikes and you have fallen into the moat. Your
struggles and cries have attracted hungry alligators. They do not
want to let you go.
Animation: Graham falls into the water and both alligators swim toward him.
Information: This can be a frequently seen death scene as the bridges on either
side of the moat can be difficult to walk across. Even if it looks
like Graham will fall into the water, walk straight onto the top
of the bridge to avoid falling into the moat.
Action: Push the rock from the south side.
Location: One screen west from the castle entrance.
Message: This moving rock rolls downhill and you, unfortunately, are in the
way.
Animation: The rock moves back and leaves Graham flattened below it.
Information: Avoid seeing this scene by pushing the rock from the north side.
Action: Don't swim while in calm water.
Location: In any area with calm water.
Message: You splash around in the water for a while but seem to have
forgotten how to swim. Unfortunately, you drown.
Animation: Graham splashes for a few seconds before disappearing.
Information: Just swim to avoid this death. You may want to set the speed of
the game to slow whenever Graham falls into the water, as at
fast speeds you will have to swim much more quickly.
Action: Get caught by the wolf.
Location: One screen west from the tree with the egg.
Message: It seems the wolf caught up with you and is discussing dinner
arrangements.
Animation: A dust cloud is shown as Graham and the wolf fight.
Information: The wolf is very fast, and can easily catch Graham if he moves
toward the middle of the area. Stay at the edges of the screen so
that Graham can make a quick exit if the wolf gets too near.
Action: Jump into the well.
Location: Two screens west from the tree with the egg.
Message: What a mistake you made! This well is too deep to jump into. You
should be more careful before trying that next time!
Animation: Graham somersaults down to the water at the bottom of the well.
Information: Actually quite a rarely seen death scene, as most people usually
attempt more sensible methods before jumping straight into the
well. Get into the bucket to avoid this death.
Action: Swim on the surface of the well water for too long.
Location: One screen east from the dragon cave.
Message: Your arms are like lead... from swimming. You find it
impossible... to swim any longer. You sink to the bottom... of

you will to escape, your labor will be in vain.

broomstick. She then drops Graham into the cage.
