The Packed Earth Room

1. The mother roc is very protective of her egg. You won't be able to get near the cube while she's in the nest.
2. There is a way to get to the roc's nest without being taken there by the mother roc.
3. If you haven't been to the Air Room, leave the nest and work on another puzzle for now. Don't forget to take the stained scroll while you are here; it's useful.
4. Have you managed to get the magic carpet in the bazaar? If not, get it.
5. You can fly to the roc's nest on the magic carpet.
6. Is the mother roc still there? There's a time when you can get to the roc's nest without the mother roc being home.
7. Have you been to the Guard Tower above the Dungeon? If not, don't continue.
8. The speck on the horizon is the mother roc.
9. If you fly on the magic carpet to the roc's nest (four turns to the west from the tower) the mother roc will be away from the nest, searching for food. Now's your chance to get the cube.
