Welcome to our walkthrough for Simon the Sorcerer.

GENERAL TIPS

To Save, Load, or Quit a Game:

All these menu options can be accessed from the item Postcard in your Inventory. To access the Postcard, select "Use" and then click on the Postcard. To save, simply click a file number and type in a name or phrase and press "enter". To load, select the file of your choice, and to quit, simply select Quit to shut the game down.

Using the Map

The Map is an exceptionally useful item. Why is that? Because it keeps backtracking to an absolute minimum! You can use the Map to warp to any main landmark location of your choice that appears on it, and you’ll be instantly transferred to that area.

Commands

The Commands are pretty selfexplanatory, but I will list them here anyway. To make Simon perform a specific action or task, you must first click/select one of the following commands:

• Walk to: Click this and then a part of the screen to move Simon. "Walk to" is also the default mouseclick command.
• Consume: Click this and then an object to make Simon eat or drink something.
• Talk to: Click this and then a person (or object!) to start a conversation
• Look at: Click this, and then an object or location to have Simon further analyze something.
• Pick up: Click this and then an object to have Simon add it to his inventory, or in select instances, use an item (such as a Rope to Climb)
• Remove: It’s unlikely you’ll need this command much, but use it to remove an item.
• Open: A simple command used primarily for opening doors
• Close: You may not use this command at all in the game actually, but use it to close something.
• Wear: Also a seldomused command, select it and then an item to make Simon wear it.
• Move: A universal command that allows Simon to move objects
• Use: Select this command and then an item or object to make Simon use it
• Give: This command allows Simon to select an item from his inventory and give it to another person

The Order of Tasks & The Guide

• It is important to note that the tasks listed in this guide can be performed in almost any order, making it difficult to find where you’re at in correlation to the guide if you’ve been playing on your own up until a certain point. To make things easier, use the command "Ctrl+F" and type in a keyword (i.e. Woodworm, Dragon’s Cave) to find your way around the guide in a much more friendly fashion.
• Furthermore, Items in the guide will appear italicized so it’s easier to find them. Screenshots primarily correlate with finding Pick ups for your Inventory.

Important Notes

Simon the Sorcerer does not have subtitles. In order to enjoy the game fully and understand where you are, you will need to have the sound ON.

Lastly, should you find yourself stuck at any point, you can use the Map to warp to the Owl Tree. Talk to the Owl and he will give you hints and clues as to what you should do next.

WALKTHROUGH

Introduction

The game begins with the credits, and Simon performing miscellaneous magic for you, the viewer. After watching for a while, he will comically remark that he can’t believe you’ve watched for so long. It’s Simon’s 12th birthday, and a dog shows up with a book in his mouth, Chippy. While Simon is doing his homework, Chippy wanders up into the attic to try and find the book again, which is hidden in an old chest. Simon goes looking for him, and takes the book from Chippy when he finds him up in the attic. Throwing the book, "The Olde Spell Booke", a portal opens, and Simon and Chippy enter.

Simon finds himself in an entirely new realm, wearing a wizard’s hat and surrounded by trolls and goblins, who have used magic to summon a meal for themselves. The spell book Simon had bounces away. Preparing to cook Simon, Chippy arrives and scares them all off. Before you know it, the two have entered a cottage, which happens to belong to Calypso, the great and powerful grand wizard who has been kidnapped by the evil sorcerer Sordid. By reading a note left by the grand wizard, Simon learns that he can use the wizard’s spellbook, which he had found, to save him, but first he must become a wizard himself, and hence the journey begins.

In Search of Wizards

There are wizards in a tavern in the city of Fleur Deli which can help Simon. In addition, Simon will add Letter, Postcard, and Map to his inventory. The village of Fleur Deli will appear on the map.

Calypso’s Cottage

• Open the Chest of Drawers to Pick up the item Scissors.
• Walk to the Refrigerator, and you’ll find a Magnet is attached. Pick up and add it to your inventory.

• Exit the cottage, and when outside, click on the far right to exit the screen. In the next one, you will find the Blacksmith, hammering away.

Blacksmith Shoppe

• Pick up Rope, which is on the left side of the screen lying on the ground.
• Pick up Clapper, which is on the table, to the left of the locked door.

• Exit the area with Walk to the top left area of the screen.

Drunken Druid Tavern

• When you enter the Tavern screen, select Open and click on the Door. Once it’s open, click Walk to and click on the open doorway to enter the Tavern.
• Once inside, Pick up the Matches, which are on the Fruit Machine on the left side of the screen.

• Use Scissors on the sleeping Dwarf to get Beard
• Talk to the Barman about Calypso and Sordid to learn that Sordid lives at Craggy Peaks
• Talk to Nubile Valkyrie and select the answer "Hello". Tell them you’re taking a survey, and ask about Sordid to learn that he lives in a tower. After that, select "Thank you ladies, no more questions".
• Walk to the far right side of the screen to enter the next room.
• Stand still and listen to the 4 wizards at the table. They’ll sit and discuss their game, and eventually talk about Sordid, and how he’s been searching for ingredients of some sort and searching for a staff for 3 months. When the group start to repeat themselves, select Talk to and click on them.
• In the dialogue, tell them "I want to be a wizard", "Are you sure you’re not wizards?", "No, of course not", "When I move my mouse pointer over you, it says wizards", and finally "I’ll do anything to be a wizard" once again. The other dialogue is optional, but when you want to finish, select "No problem". You will have been enlisted to find a certain magical staff for them, and then they’ll agree to make you a wizard for real.

The Search for the Staff

The four wizards have enlisted you to find a certain magical staff. In return, they will make you a wizard, and then you can use the Spellbook!

• After taking that path, take the path to the rightmost of the screen to reach the Owl Tree

In the end, Simon will agree to keep an eye out for the fossils Dr. Von Jones is looking for. Exit to the right and you’ll come to the Center of the Forest.
• There are 4 roads to take in the Center of the Forest. The one you came from, the steps to the left to the Goblin Fortress, the Cave in the middle to the Dwarf Mines, the steps to the right go to the swamp and mountains, and the rightmost path goes to the Woodcutter. Take the steps to the left and go to the Goblin Fortress.

• At the Goblin Fortress, Pick up Paper that is located under a rock near the door. It’s a shopping list for the Shoppe in Fleur Deli. Select Use and Map in your inventory and select the Village to warp back. You’ll end up right in front of the Shoppe.

Continue further to the right to come to another crossroads, this time with a stump near the top.
• Walk to the Stump and close by until you enter a conversation with the Woodworms. Select the following: "Sorry, but it’s just that I’ve never seen a talking stump before", "No I haven’t got any, what’d you want it for anyway?", "Sorry, I didn’t realize you were woodworm", "I didn’t expect talking to woodworm if that’s what you mean", "Look, I didn’t mean to offend anyone", "Is there anything I can do to help?", "What do I get out of it?", and then take the path at the bottom of the screen.
• Pass the wolf that comes and leaves and continue to the left, and you will arrive at the Witch’s House.

• Talk to the Troll, and say the following: "Top of the morning, Mr.Troll. May I cross your bridge, please?", "What do you want?", "Why are you unhappy?", "Why can’t you eat these two now?", "Can’t you eat something other than goat?", "Fine, I’ll go get some goat for you, OK?", "Why don’t you have a go and find out?". The troll will blow the whistle, and the Barbarian will come take care of him for you.
• Cross the Troll Bridge, and in the next screen, take the upper fork path to the right. Continue to the right until you encounter the Oaf.

• Talk to the Oaf and say the following: "What beans?", and "Maybe you should water them?". Simon will automatically leave the scene after watering them, and come to the Crossroads. Go back and Pick up Beans from the puddle.

• Use the Map to warp to the Village.

Village

• Take the upper tunnel doorways until you reach the Blacksmith’s Shoppe. There, exit to the left to reach Calypso’s House. Walk Behind the Cottage and Use the Beans with Compost. Pick up Watermelon

• Use Map to warp to Owl Tree.

Forest

• Once at the Owl Tree, take the right path and continue to the right until you reach an intersection. At the intersection, take the right path and you’ll come to a man with a Sousaphone.
• Talk with the man, saying: "Can I have your, er… thingy?", "I could make it worth you while", and then "This conversation bores me, I bid you farewell". Simon will automatically leave since the noise is so unbearable.

• Use Map and warp to Center of the Forest.
• Once at the Center, take the steps on the right side of the screen.

Swamp

• Proceed along the right side of the screen until you come to a screen with a small house at the top. Walk to it and Open the door.
• Talk to the Swampling, saying: "Well actually, I think I’ve got the wrong house", "Today is your BIRTHDAY?", "What’s in this stuff?", "If it makes you any happier, I’ll eat your stew", and "No more for me thanks I’m stuffed". After the last one, Use Specimen Jar on Stew. You’ll be handed another bowl of Stew afterwards. Say "No more for me thanks I’m stuffed" again and sneak out of the house (Open Door and Walk out) when the Swampling’s back is turned. You could also sit and actually eat all the stew, but why you’d want to do that would be beyond both me and Simon.
• Once outside the Swampling’s House, exit to the right of the screen.

Mountains

• Continue to Walk to the right side of the screen and into the next until you see a small statue of a wizard.

• Use the Metal Detector, it’s your lucky day! Leave the Metal Detector on the ground and exit to the right of the screen.

• The path continues straight, so exit to the right once again. In the next screen, you’ll encounter a cave.
• Look at the Sign, and then Walk into the Cave. Inside is a Dragon, who warns you that he has a terrible cold and therefore can’t control his breathing very well. As could be guessed, Simon is turned to toast.
• Click on Simon, and then Walk into the Cave once again.
• Give Cold Remedy to the Dragon. Simon will walk out of the Cave and throw the item inside.
• Walk into the Cave one more time and Pick up the Fire Extinguisher
• Exit the Cave and proceed up the path that leads up and behind the Dragon Cave
• In the next screen, Simon will proclaim what an interesting rock that is. Pick up the Rock with fossil that is lying in the snow.

• Walk to the right of the screen to enter the next one.
• In the next screen, you’ll see several Climbing Pins used to climb the Mountain, but one is missing. Click on the right of the screen to continue and cross to the other side. Continue to the right for one more screen until you come to a Tree.
• Look at and Talk to the Tree. Say the following: "There’s no need to be rude", "I know what you mean", "That’s terrible", and "OK, Sounds fair to me". Simon agrees to get some White Spirit from the Village so that the Woodcutter won’t chop the tree down.

• Pick up the Book from the pink Cushion
• Pick up the green Sock on the Floor
• Pick up the rank Pouch from off the Bed

• You’ll notice a Mouse Hole at the foot of the Stairs. Use Sock on the Pouch. Use Pouch on the Hole to catch Mouse, and walk up to the next area.
• The Demons in the next room have decided to ignore you. Talk to the Demons, saying: "Well, you look like demons! Haha.. ha?", "Why are you irritated?", "I don’t know what you mean".
• Talk to the Demons again, saying "Why do you stay here if you’re dissatisfied?", "What’s with this Sordid guy anyway?", "How does he intend to do that?", "Is there anyway to restore them?", "OK, I’m scared. Show me the door.", "Why won’t you tell me?", "I could make it worth your while", "But, I’M a powerful wizard", "And what makes you think I’m not a wizard, eh?", "Nah. It’s out of fashion to be old and fat these days.", and finally "Right then, I’ll go and get prepared."
• Pick up the red Spell Book from the Bookcase.

• Open the Spell Book, and you’ll find the Spell you’ll need to send the Demons back to whence they came from, along with some requirements, such as their true names
• Talk to the Demons again. No matter how hard you try to convince them or what dialogue you pick, they’re not going to tell you their true names. But, they’ll lend you their Chalk so you can draw the squares on the Floor you need. Tell them you’ll be back in a bit to sort a few details.
• On the center Table, pick up Chemical.

• Use Chemical on Shield. Use polished Shield on Hook on the center Table. Now, go back down to the Bedroom.
• Talk to the Mirror. Tell him "Show me the lab on the top floor. There’s a good chap." and "I want to spy on Gerald and Max." The Mirror will then let you spy on the two and learn their true names.
• Go upstairs and Talk to the Demons. "Ok, we’re all set. Let’s ROCK!" Simon will send the Demons home.
• Look at the Book which states that a Magic Wand can only be destroyed by being thrown into the Fiery Pits of Rondor. Walk to the Teleporter, and Simon will automatically press the Red Button. Select the Fiery Pits of Rondor as your destination, and away you go!

Fiery Pits of Rondor

• Pick up the Pebble (on your left) and the Sapling (on your right) as soon as you arrive at the Pits.

• Talk to the Attendant ("I had no idea this place was a tourist attraction!") to receive a Brochure and learn that in the past 2 years, there were only two visitors: Sordid and a small green guy. Are you going to pay up or not? "No."
• Look at the Brochure to find Elastic Band and add it to your inventory. The Attendant isn’t going to let you in until you pay, but you’ve got no money left. Instead, Use Sapling with the Elastic Band to create the Catapult.
• Use Catapult on the Bell, and the Attendant will run off and hide.
• Pick up Souvenir Matches which can be found on the right side of the Counter

• Walk into the Pit, and Pick up Floor Wax in front of the right entry

The Final Part!

• When you walk into the next area, you’ll see Sordid, who’s really angry about the sprinklers dousing the Fiery Pit. Use Sordid’s Magic Wand on him. Sordid will turn into stone.
• Use the Souvenir Matches on the previously doused Fiery Pit, and it will turn back into Lava.
• Use the Magic Wand on the Lava to restore and save all the stone people. But that restores Sordid, too, and he’s really mad now! Sordid will be just a moment from attacking you when the phone rings for you! It’s Calypso urging you to stall him until he can come to the rescue.
• Exit the area, but you’ll find the Bridge is gone. You have no choice but to go back and face Sordid.
• Use Floor Wax on Sordid. He will slip and fall. Simon gives him a push that sends him into the Fiery Pits. Kaboom!

That’s the end! Enjoy the final cutscenes!
