Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Quarterstaff: The Tomb of Setmoth was a Western RPG made for the Apple Macintosh, created by Amy Briggs (of Plundered Hearts fame), Scott Schmitz, and Ken Updike, and released in 1988 by the Activision-subsidiary incarnation of Infocom. The plot was simple. You, the blacksmith Titus, are charged with finding out what happened to the Tree Druids living underground.Something very bad. And that's not even getting into the Sealed Evil in a Can.The gameplay was remarkably complex. If you got more characters to join you, you could have them go their separate ways; and the game has the Developers' Foresight; many actions had results that were unheard of at the time. However, Guide Dang It! issues quickly required a Strategy Guide to be built into the game, and even that didn't cover everything.One such thing was the utterly complicated Feelies/Copy Protection. A wooden "coin" covered with letters, and when added to a compass, and when one solves 4 different riddles; gives you the magic words you use the Identify Wand. Curiously, one could technically beat the game simply through Save Scumming the effects of items; (although most wands also had activation words.)Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Oh, and by the way. "Gurz" identifies Keys; "Nesoe" identifies Potion; "Odeeps" identifies Wands, and "Falp" identifies Scrolls. It's ancient abandonware.

Blasting It Out of Their Hands: You can actually do this. Commanding someone to shoot an arrow at a weapon held in someone's hand or their inventory and being successful (this can be tricky) actually results in the item being dropped. Everyone can drop their weapon.

Guide Dang It!: Oh, very. For example there are invisible items. These invisible items can only be seen if you break one of four single use items in the same room; or if you type in the exact items name when interacting with them.

Hopeless Boss Fight: The Granite Statue in the Circular Hall has 1000 HP (most have around 100-200, and a successful hit takes off 10-20 damage) and can kill you in 2-3 hits. You are expected to run through the room, beat the puzzle to open the door to which way you want to go, and lick your wounds on the other side.
