Walkthrough

Select text with your mouse to read the answers.

What is the goal of the game?

To find the Awesmoe Treasure.
To do this, you have to pass the three trials.
Also, you will need to find your way around BHT.
You should start the game by quitting it.

How do I get Cuppit to shut up?

Talk to him. A lot.
Pay close attention to the dialog options.
You can probably get him to talk to someone else.
Tell him to shut up, then apologize, then tell him to talk to the spoon.

How do I pass the first trial?

That's easy, just talk to the man and give him the password.
Why would it not work if you click the talk cursor on the man...
Apparently the man is not clickable.
You can turn this on in the "characters" panel of the BHT editor.

Okay, so what is the answer?

Guessing might work, but would be pretty pointless.
The answer is a string of texts.
Where would BHT store its strings?
Look in the global messages panel. Scroll down a bit.

How do I cross the chams?

You cannot jump, so you need to cover it up.
Your character isn't carrying anything convenient for the task.
However, you can create objects in the editor.
Create an object with the image of the wooden board, and place it over the chasm.
Be careful when walking over it, it's kind of narrow.

Why doesn't that editor button work?

It is broken, you'll need to pay for an upgrade to BHT.
Failing that, you can stick it back on. But how would you keep it in place?
There's some glue in the editor.
You might be able to move the glue if you had it under your cursor...
Can you change the cursor's shape?
Go to the 'cursors' panel to change the cursor graphic. Click the glue on the button.

Okay, so how do I cross the second chasm?

The same trick might work again?
There is only one board, but of course you can move it.
That, of course, would leave you stuck before the first chasm. Unless...
Is there some way to move the board while the 'hero' stands between the chasms?
Perhaps by saving your game?
If that didn't work, try deselecting "no saving/restoring in this room" from room properties.

I've made it to the door! How do I open it?

It's locked.
You've probably seen a key around somewhere?
One of the inventory items is a key. But there doesn't seem to be a way to pick it up.
No, creating an object for it is not going to work.
Remember this cheat mode option that gets all inventory items for you?
From the game, press control-S to get all items, including the key.
This only works if you enable "debug mode" in the "general settings" panel.

How do I carry the fire without dying?

You don't, really. Fire is dangerous.
Oh, I get it. When you take everything, that includes the fire. Tricky, yes?
So how would you get rid of a fire?
Is there some water around?
Your hero can't carry fire, so you'll have to fix this from the BHT editor.
In the third room, create an object with the image of the fire, and put it on the water.

Why does the third room crash the game?

Because there's a script error, duh. You'll have to fix this before continuing.
Unfortunately, the BHT script editor doesn't work...
Can you get someone else to fix it for you?
How about Cuppit?
Of course, he initially won't, so you'll have to do something for him.

What's the deal with that Cuppit?

Apart from being a nuisance, he might help you if you give him something.
What would a cup like...
How about coffee!
There's coffee in the fourth room of the game. But not accessible from the editor.
How would you get there if you can't pass the third test yet?
Didn't BHT have a debug option to teleport?
It's control-X, and once again this only works if you enable "debug mode".
You can give the coffee to Cuppit by changing your cursor on the "cursors" panel.

The third chamber still doesn't work!

Have you taken a closer look at the room in the editor?
Some options default to the wrong setting.
In particular, disable "hide player character".
Also, it might help to turn off "no saving/restoring in this room".

What is the answer to the First Question?

Come on, that one should be trivial.
What's the first adventure game?
Okay, that would be advent, or colocave, or zork. Try a graphic adventure.
Yes, the Sierra classic. If that's not actually the first, that would be Cuppit's fault.
King's Quest I.
And it has a maximum score of 158 points, in each version.

What is the answer to the Second Question?

Consider who is asking it.
Consider the arrogance of the person who wrote Awesmoe Quest...
So the ideal adventure game would be Awesmoe Quest itself.
Check the size of META.EXE; that would be your answer.
In kilobytes, not regular bytes. Divide by 1024.
If that really didn't work, something has modified META.EXE. Get a good virus scanner.

What is the answer to the Third Question?

It is, rather obviously, a trick question.
That means that any number you enter will be wrong.
It is also a famous inside joke.
Try googling the phrase.
Failing that, google Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

How do I defeat the Dragon?

Have you checked the bottom of the pool yet?
Or have you looked behind the tree in the first room?
Or maybe you're falling for an age-old trick?
Such as the fact that there is no dragon in the game? You cheater.
