In proclamation <1u59pa$2ch@samba.oit.unc.edu>,
Rick.Igou@launchpad.unc.edu (Rick Igou) doth speak:

->1. I've killed the kraken with the flash from the Pharos, but am killed
->and resurrected, myself, only to find Andromeda still chained. Nor am I
->able to cross the sacred ground to reach the Temple of Zeus, or attain the
->ekmek in the taverna. My guess is that these three are related somehow,
->but how? Is there some alternative way to save Andromeda?? Should I save her
->at all??? Do I need more than just the flash to do the job????

  Rescuing Andromeda is for bonus points only, it is not needed to solve the
  game.  Yes, that's what the flash is for.

  You have to get a coin from the temple of zeus to buy the ekmek. To do that
  you need to use the rod of luck.  To use the rod of luck you have to change
  the nature of the universe.

->
->
->2. I've uncovered the garden crypt and mural, but nothing further. The
->mosaic is likewise inert. What's up? Do I need something else to get
->further with (either of) these two--something from ancient Greece, perhaps?
->

  You need the rod of bronzing to enter the crypt, it does more than give you a
  tan you know! 8+)

->
->3. The demon, in answer to a question about the Tarot, implies that Madame
->Sosostris may respond differently to a stacked deck, but, so far, I've not
->been able to get her to say more than "you're not the one" or words to
->that effect. Should I keep trying different combinations of cards?
->

 Yes.

->
->I have the rods of Luck, Returning, Stalking, Fire, Husbandry and
->Infinity, and I calculate that I need at least two more (since Infinity is
->originally the "Eight of Wands" and will not fit any hole in the lemniscus
->arc). I have not, however, picked up the mascot yet in this particular game.

  You are missing the rod of sacrifice and the rod of bronzing.
