Items in red may cause death of your character or some irreversible effect that can prevent you from finishing the game. It is recommended that you save your game before trying these things and restore afterwards.

General

• Right-click (Look at) the quill, quill stand, parchment, candle, and the candle flame in the title screen of the game.
• Spot the U.S.S. Enterprise as it bumps into the magic carpet in the introduction. This one is really hard to miss!
• Try picking your nose with the lock pick. Both when your lock picking skill is low (save first) and when it is high. This is actually a great way to quickly improve your lockpicking skill.
• Make the Thief Sign a couple of times when you don't have thieving skills.
• Eat an unknown pill. Eat two poison cure pills in a row.
• Try to buy things from the various merchants and the shops around Shapeir when you don't have enough cash, or you have the wrong kind of money (Spielburgian currency). Some shopkeepers will be generous nonetheless and give you things free of charge. Other times you may get a stern or funny refusal.
• Give a bouquet of flowers to various women you encounter in the game and watch their reactions. This includes Shema, the enchantress Aziza, Dinarzad the money changer, Uhura at the guild hall, and Zayishah. Ask them each for a date.
• Target rocks, daggers or spells upon yourself.
• From the Anthology README:
  In Trial by Fire, Ad Avis was actually named in honor of Bill Davis. Al Scurva was Bill Scurvin, and Khaveen was named after Rick Cavin (the head of Production at the time). The evil city of Raseir was an anigram of Sierra. Incidentally, if you wander the darkened empty Sierra Oakhurst hallways at night, you can see the resemblence.
• The Marx Brothers make cameo appearances in the game. Alichica, the annoying merchant outside the inn in the Gate Plaza is Chico Marx, the saurus salesman Ali Fakir is Groucho Marx. Harpo Marx appears randomly on the streets of Shapeir as a clown with strange musical instruments when you have Silly Clowns turned on. Look for him in the alleyways of Shapeir.

City of Shapeir

• Order meals in the morning and evening at the Katta's Tail Inn and eat them. Try eating more than once at one sitting. Try eating your own rations at the inn.
• Be generous. Give monetary donations to the katta musician, the beggar (he appears at the fountain plaza on day 3), the astrologer, and the flower seller. Doing this repeatedly is a good way to earn honor.
• Look at the snake and the katta charmer in the Gate Plaza outside the inn. Try getting the snake.
• Visit Alichica over and over to see what all he has to offer you for sale. Ask him about weather, sultan, desert, caravan and duck.
• Did you notice the cameo appearances by Lori and Corey as Sloree and Scoree at the food stand in the Fountain Plaza?
• Look at the eye and the door to Keapon Laffin's magic shop.
• Visit Keapon Laffin often and listen to his amusing conversation, especially when an elemental arrives in the city. Ask him about things.
• "Look under the cloud" on which Keapon is sitting.
• Check out Keapon's invisible wall (just keep walking straight once inside the magic shop and you'll soon bump into it). Also try the passages on the left and the right.
• Buy the X-ray glasses from Keapon Laffin at the Magic Shop. Wearing them will feel like you're seeing everything from behind a veil. Now use the glasses when you actually encounter Zayishah changing clothes behind the veil in Raseir.
• Try fighting Keapon or stealing things from the magic shop. Buy things that he doesn't sell at the shop. Buy a second pair of glasses or magic rope.
• Talk to Keapon about fish for some really awful aquatic puns.
• The entire conversation with the Saurus seller is hysterically funny, if you get his double meanings.
• Note your saurus' name - Roget the Saurus.
• After you have paid for a Saurus, type "Drop Saurus".
• Buy the X-ray glasses from Keapon Laffin before you go shopping for a saurus, and then see what the seller has to say about them.
• Bargain with Ali Fakir for the saurus. Be obstinate and refuse his questions by saying "no". Exit the saurus lot and return a few times until he is desparate and threatens that you will lose the game if you don't buy his saurus. Save you game and exit out of the lot now!
• If you're good at bargaining, you can hold out against the saurus seller until he is willing to sell it to you for merely 5 dinars.
• During the W.I.T. initiation, try selecting any of the mages pictured (Erana, Zara, Aziza, Ad Avis, Merlin, Houdini and of course, Erasmus) as your sponsor to W.I.T. Also notice the black picture which represents Katrina (who was expelled from W.I.T.)
• In Erasmus' pretest, look at all the bells.
• Look at the space backdrop a couple of times in the WIT Initiation room. Right click (look at) the wizard and the wizard+frame when one appears before each challenge.
• Try to climb the rock in the Earth test before casting any spells upon it. Knock on the closed door in the Fire test.
• Here are some fun ways of how not to win the Initiation trials - run out of mana when levitating over the staff in the Air test, melting the iceberg several times in the Water test, and standing too close to the open door in the Fire test.
• Try to force your way into Aziza's house by casting spells like Open or Force Bolt on the door or by picking its lock. Do it again after you've been warned once.
• Be extra polite with Aziza the enchantress. Greet her when you enter, share tea with her, thank her for her help, and bid her farewell when you want to leave.
• Be rude and impolite to Aziza by refusing to answer when she asks you for tea, casting spells in her home, or entering her private chambers. You can also try asking her for a date.
• Try catching the fish in Aziza's house. Or eating it.
• When you ask Aziza about Julanar, make sure that the Silly Clowns option is turned 'on'. Occasionally, your Hero will comment about the situation.. "Just the facts 'mam".
• Read the book titles in the bookshelves of Aziza, Keapon Laffin, and Harik Attar. Also look at the various curios they have collected.
• At the apothecary, ask Harik about drugs. Tell him about the earth elemental after you have defeated it using Harik's Powder of Burning.
• Show the Thief Sign to Harik.
• Look at the various things in the Astrologer's house, including the four-poster bed, ladder, the chart, dart board, model and the poster. Ask Abu about these things. Try climbing the ladder.
• Ask the astrologer about the various stars and constellations, his lens washer Hasan, and the weather.
• Decipher the poster at the astrologer's. It reads "Peek-a-boo, I see you".
• At night, in the plazas, get caught picking locks or practising magic after the guards have warned you once against doing so.
• Show Dinarzad the money changer the thieves' sign. Ask her about thieves' tool, oil, jackal, goats and djinn. Flirt with her by asking her out on a date. Try kissing her or asking about a kiss.
• At her counter, Look at breasts. Then ask her about sex.
• Look at Dinarzad's guard Franc.
• Break into the house off Rani Tarik at the appointed time. Identify yourself to Dinarzad as a thief and she will tell you about the job. If you lack thief skills, use magic to break-in and steal the valuables. Don't do this if your are striving to become a paladin.
• At the break-in house, get the silver tea service off the shelf, the emerald bowl from the cupboard, and the money in the chest under the carpet. If you "search the chest" thoroughly, you will also find a concealed silver dagger. Fence the goods at the money changer's.
• Do everything wrong at the break-in and check out the various ways to die. Enter before the given time, walk noisily, answer the old man's questions, hide anywhere outside the cupboard, talk to the drunk son when he returns, leave the carpet rolled up when you hide for the son's entrance, cast a force bolt at the cupboard, or enter the bedroom.
• Look at the various weapons, shields and armor in Issur's weapon shop. Also look at the fire.
• At the Weapon Shop, annoy Issur by talking to him while facing the door, or getting too close to him. For laughs, ask too many irrelevant questions or make the thief sign to him. He gets insulted and literally throws you out.
• Cast a flame dart or force bolt spell on the bellows outside Issur's shop to destroy them.
• Get caught by one of the patrolling guards while trying to take Issur's bellows at night. If you explain the situation to the guard ("Tell about Air Elemental"), you should be able to talk your way through.
• When breaking into the Weapon shop, stand on the trapdoor while opening it after moving the anvil. You may get caught here if you make too much noise or leave the door ajar.
• Try to oil and move the anvil during daytime when Issur is around.
• Don't return Rakeesh's sword after borrowing it to defeat the Earth Elemental. Visit Uhura after a couple of days.
• Try talking to baby Simba a couple of times. Go near him and kick him. Now try it again.

• Try to enter EOF with a lighted lamp. Type use lamp when at the entrance.
• Take the EOF initiation test when you are very low on health and stamina.
• Take too long destroying the elementals that plague the city.

Shapeirian Desert

• Look at the various monsters you encounter in the desert, both when they are chasing you and after you've killed them.
• At night, look at the stars in the desert and see which constellations you can make out.
• Wear glasses in the desert (both when you have them and when you don't).
• Spot a mirage in the desert (Actually in the sky while roaming the desert).
• Read the signposts that occur randomly in the desert. Encounter the Persian Golfer or the dead king Arthur from Conquests of Camelot.
• Stay out in the desert without food or water for too long.
• Visit the sleeping griffin ("Merv") on the mountain ledge in the desert cliffs west of town. Talk to it and try asking it about things.

• Throw a dagger or cast an offensive spell at Julanar, the plant woman. Careful! Watch out for that broken monitor screen glass!
• Try hugging the plant woman or telling her your stories a second time. Also try talking to her when your communication skills are really low.
• You can actually walk to Raseir from Shapeir without the caravan. From the city overlook outside Shapeir, keep on going south. When blocked by the mountains, keep on going west. Eventually, you will be able to walk south again. Go south until blocked, and continue west. Eventually, you will reach Raseir.
• Solve the puzzle of the caged beast. Talk to the dervish at the Oasis around day 12 and he will tell you where to look and what to do. This will also help further the plot of the game.
• Try harming the caged beast by attacking it with spells or daggers. Leave it hungry and thirsty in the cage and return after a few days.
• Look into the beast's eyes and open the cage.

City of Raseir

• Right-click (Look at) on all the scenery, vultures, brigands, saurii and yourself during the caravan trip to Raseir. Enjoy the popcorn and soda during the intermission.
• Buy and drink water, coffee and Djinn Sling at the Blue Parrot Inn. Drink one too many Djinn Slings.
• Ask Wilmer the bartender at the Blue Parrot Inn about 'Ferrari' making a point not to call him Signor Ferrari.
• Annoy or ignore Signor Ferrari at the Blue Parrot Inn. When asked to steal the Black Falcon, refuse, come back empty handed or refuse to give it to him.
• After stealing the blackbird from Khaveen, return to Ferrari and type 'Give Ferrari the Bird'. It's really funny!
• Look at the window facing the fountain in Raseir.
• Drop your extra change of clothes and the visa somewhere in Raseir. Then try to give visa or clothes to Zayishah when she asks for your help.

• After climbing up the parapet and taking care of the Eunuch, walk towards the right side of the parapet (away from the Harem).
