Yellow Peril
HINTS SHEET
Written by Dorothy Millard

Notes
1. You have three opportunities to enter the fisherman's hut only.
2. When crossing the river on the repaired raft you can only carry five 
items in safety.
3. The items you "cannot quite see" are the jewels, which the Yellow Peril 
wants. To see them you will need the magic mirror.
4. Do not drop the berries for the cow to eat - it is necessary for her to 
follow you to meet the bull, and she will only do this while you are 
carrying the berries.
5. To read the book and find out the magic words, you must have drunk from 
the magic fountain and be carrying the magnifying glass.

Hints
1. Examine pebbles to find button then climb the cliff.
2. In the cabin in the Great Yellow Forest stroke the cat to find a gold key 
which unlocks the cemetery gate. Sit in the chair to find a bible, which 
should be given to the vicar to gain access to the church.
3. Climb the wall. Enter the grave but make sure you are carrying the 
ladder first.
4. Chop bushes with the machete at the dead end to see an overgrown trail. 
At the magic fountain drink the water to enable you to read the book. 
Examine the bushes to find a flute.
5. Play the flute to the snake. In the fisherman's hut the lamp is under 
the bed. Move the cupboard to find a tie. Get the spade from the back 
garden and pick a flower.

catch a boot!
7. Give the ornate key to the storekeeper and he will open the store.
8. Cut the fence with the wire-cutters then enter the hole to a farmyard.
9. Pick the berries and the cow will follow you to where the bull is, 
allowing you to get the magical suit from the scarecrow.
10. Enter the farmhouse through the window to find a wick for the lamp. The 
lamp must be filled with oil too. Lift the rug to find a large key to 
unlock the barn door. The magic spectacles can be found in the hay but be 
careful of them, as they are breakable.
11. Full the jug at the magic fountain with magic water to throw at the 
shadowy figure.
12. Dig at the small hillock to find a worm and this time catch a fish at 
the pond.
13. Enter the waterfall and examine the river to discover a raft that needs 
repair. It can be repaired using the plank, hammer and nails.

yellow rabbit, who will leave if you give it the egg, allowing you to get 
the magnifying glass.
15. Wear the magic suit to go through the flaming archway.
16. Say a magic word to enter the curtain of light.
17. The yellow dwarf wants a button.

the Yellow Peril, allowing you to talk to him. He will give you the magic 
mirror if you will help him find his ten jewels.
19. Wear the spectacles to enter the mysterious door. Make sure you have 
light though.

circular chamber.

opal.
23. On the rickety wharf, stamp to find a ruby.
24. At the well feed the fish to the rat to prevent it nibbling your rope. 
Climb down to the bottom and light the dynamite (drop it first!)
25. Say a magic word to go through the magic door into the tower. At the 
top you will find a garnet if you have the magic mirror. Jump to exit - you 
land in the river where you must swim to the bank. Make your way to the 
farmhouse to dry off.
26. Examine the altar in the church to find a cross then go down to the 
crypt. Open the coffin and hold the cross the deal with the vampire. You 
find a lapis lazuli.

trees appear to look at you examine trees to see something lodged high in 
the branches. Hit tree using the branch to find a diamond.
