There are multiple ways to complete a lot of the major puzzles, such that you should be able to get at least one of the "neutral" endings. However, if you are having trouble finding all of the thirteen treasures, you may want to consult this list. The bracketed text is what you need to do to get the item, in ROT13 (rot13.com to convert to plain text).

If you are stuck playing chess and you are in release 7 or earlier, you will probably need to read this simplified version of the chess handbook rules: [1. Vs lbhe bccbarag cynlf n pvepyr, cynl n syvag. 2. Vs lbhe bccbarag zbirf n ovfubc be ebbx, zbir n pngfcnj. 3. Vs lbhe bccbarag zbirf vagb O, zbir vagb N.

(N erny purff obneq bayl unf 8 fdhnerf. Zbir vagb fdhner 9.)] You will NEVER have to "search" anything, so don't waste your time trying. If that's not enough for you, and you're finding the built in hint system unhelpful, you can also consult this playthrough.
