I can join the thorn to the "snake" to make the staff of ages, but to do so I will need to use the invisibility scroll to get over the troll bridge the second time, and then can't get past the gargoyles. I can't figure out these things: 1) What use is the sword, other than for killing the cyclops 2) How do you "form a bridge over flaming death", which I assume means where the statue with the glowing coals is 3) how do I defeat the hell hound which guards the platinum horn 4) if I can get past the gargoyles, how do I open the door next to the well ( I can get down the well and past Charon, but can't get the skull to open. I assume I need the horn for that) Any help is greatly appreciated. If you can just give me a few hints, that is better than explaining the whole game and all the problems I have listed above.
