Truly amazing site! I've been looking for something like this for ages. No more accidentally reading the wrong passages, spoiling the plot.
I just finished "Lair Of The Troglodytes" - onward!

Lair Of The Troglodytes is really difficult.

SPOILER
Well, I won Lair of the Troglodyte by buying loads of puffballs and throwing them at the adventurer. There probably is an easier way, but I didn't find it.

Lair Of The Troglodytes is still really hard. whatever I do I always end up dying in the Big Room or being cut up by the adventurer.

I have finally finished Lair Of The Troglodytes. Heres how you do it:
SPOILER
1. Go to Shunga's Gambling Den. 2. Play Spot The Bettle (try to win at least 5 tusks). 3. Buy 1 Moss Dumpling and as many Puffballs as possible, from Zudda. 4. Go to the Gaurdroom. 5. Run for the tunnel. 6. Kill whatever attacks you here and eat your Moss Dumpling. 7. Go to the top of the Warren. 8. Ask Ilkya about Bosha's Gourd. 9. Don't buy anything. 10. Go to the Mooncave.
the whole adventure starts winding up now. Make sure that you dont attack the advnturer and thewn drink the growing poition. you will win soon.
END SPOILER
I would quite like to look at the documet for this.
Not exactly. This will get you through the game, but not to the very best ending. Regarding the original text, it can be found on the downloads page.
Matt Fri Jan 7 18:20:04 2005
OK. Here goes a try.
Matt Sat Jan 8 07:55:51 2005
I find this the best way...correct me if I am wrong.
SPOILER
spoiler 1. Wake up(in my opinion Skuznut's worst decision ever) 2. Go to Shunga's Gambling Den, try to win 1 tusk(though this isnt compulsory). 3. Buy 1 Moss Dumpling and 2 Puff Balls. 4. Go to the Guardroom and run for the tunnel, find Bosha's Gourd. 5. Fight a VENEMOUS SNAKE and gets its skin. 6. Go to Illkya and show her the Gourd by useing it. 7. Go to te Chief and swap your snakeskin for a Bronze Dagger. 8. Go to the Big Room, use your Growth Potion and attack the ADVENTURER. 9. The Potion will wear off...read the happy ending! (No, you do not die)
END SPOILER
That any good?
I think that's the same ending reached in a slightly different way.
Eliot Ball Sat Jan 8 13:18:10 2005
Thats prety much how I won (I didnt find the VENEMOUS SNAKE, but I still got that ending).

Hi, this is a really great site. I actually discovered this site a couple of months ago, although I was so engrossed in playing the online gamebooks that i neglected to post my compliments here till now. :P Anyway, great job, and I hope there would more updates of new gamebooks in the near future.
Reading the reviews posted here earlier, I also saw two spoilers/solutions posted for Lair of the Troglodytes. but neither of them lead to the most successful endings. Of course, they were posted more than a month ago, so the writers have probably already found the best solution. Just thought I'd add my own version here:
SPOILER
1) Go to Badduz the Brewer and drink 2 cups of Elven spleen (-2 Sk). 2) Go to the Fungus Garden and track Badduz down, you'll get a Shroomshrine Grog, 6 tusks & 2 nuggets. 3) Spend ALL your tusks (you won't need them further) on dumplings and puffballs. I personally reccommend 2 puffballs and 3 dumplings(you can trade the Grog for a dumpling). 4) Head to the Guardroom. 5) Run for the tunnel and fall (-2 Stamina) and get Bosha's Gourd. 6) Fight a random monster (i believe there are six diff kinds in total). Note: remember that your skill is still down by 2(due to elven spleen) at this point. If you meet a monster of skill 4 or higher you may find it hard to win. Use all your puffballs if necessary, since the monsters all have low Stamina like you. 7) Beat the monster a get 2 tusks. 8) Proceed to the top of the Warren. 9) Show Bosha's Gourd to the Hag. 10) Buy the Elixir to restore your Skill (use the two tusks u got from monster earlier). 11) Buy the Mushrooms with your copper nuggets(THAT's why you have to visit Badduz earlier, to get the nuggs) 12) Go down left passage. 13) Turn right. 14) Follow the ghosts throughh hole in ceiling(get the clue about wrath of Akhuz). 15) Go to the Moon Cave--you now have the the Spear of Akhuz! (+2 Sk). Now quickly restore your Stamina to the full with dumplings if it's not full before 'turning the page'. 16) Use the growth potion and fight the Adventurer for 3 rounds. 17) Your clan chases off the humans, and Chief Vurg asks you for the spear. Do NOT give it to him. Be prepared to fight the final boss... 18) Fight Chief Vurg. Use ALL you puffballs/dumplings if you need them. Since you have the spear, you should be able to beat him... Voila! You are now the new Chief!

Hope this would be of some help to other players who are stuck. Short as this gamebook is, I still took a long time before i succeeded.

Is it possible to complete Lair Of The Troglodytes?
Yes. And all the others too.
Andrew Wright Thu Apr 3 23:26:43 2008
Lair of the Troglodytes? Wow, I wrote that a long time ago!
There's only one really good ending, from memory. Where are you stuck?
TheSlayer02 Fri Apr 4 15:08:54 2008
I always seem to end up fighting the adventurer and losing
TheSlayer02 Sat Apr 5 10:56:14 2008
So do you have to defeat the adventurer to win?
Andrew Wright Sun Apr 6 00:31:07 2008
Yes, you need to beat the adventurer, but there are two items that will help you.
SPOILER
You need a Growth Potion and the Magic Spear.
END SPOILER
Have you found either of these yet?
cheers
Andy
TheSlayer02 Sun Apr 6 12:11:37 2008
no, where can i find them?
Andrew Wright Tue Apr 8 02:05:27 2008

Also, Andrew Wright, I'm stuck inLair of the Troglodytes. The advice you gave helps little because I need 2 copper nuggets to obey, and I only have 1. Also, I can't seem to use the gourd potion
Al Sander Thu May 8 22:47:00 2008
I don't know about the gourd potion but I do know how to get 2 copper nuggets
SPOILER
go to the brewery, drink yourself into unconsiousness, then seek your revenge against the thief!
END SPOILER
Best thing to do is just to keep playing the adventure, but try out different options each time until something works. Hope this helps!
Andrew Wright Thu May 8 23:28:01 2008
Gourd Potion
SPOILER
Read the instructions when you get it. It says use it when you find someone who may be able to identify it for you. There aren't too many Trogs around who can identify potions now are there...
