if memory serves, I believe you need to explore that large pond and waterfall.

In the pond, try jumping over the stones to the center.

The mountain is in the upper left corner.

I can't get onto the rocks I keep getting a message that they are too slippery.  I keep clicking the walk function and sometimes I get a message that I  have finally climbed to the top of the rock but when i click again i am in the water.  How do I hop them?

Also what do I press to use the rope on the mountain?  I've tried clicking all over the rocks and nothing works.

Alright I got in the castle and rescued the pig.  Now I am trying to get back down the mountain ledges.  I try to come back the way I came but every time I click to grab the ledge Taran walks off the side of the ledge.  Any suggestions? :(

Afraid I can't help you much since I always manged to run away with the pig at the beginning of the game, but here is a good website for sierra games. The Cursor version should be pretty much the same as the typing one. Good luck.

(then go to gamelist, then to black cauldron or any other sierra game on there)

I have the same problem - no matter where on the cliff I click, Taran falls off the cliff.  Very frustrating.
