Getting started: Ask Sajo about the Jade Stone, ask Sajo about the
manuscript, ask Sajo about Mallumo, ask Sajo about Putrons then go North
when Sajo leaves and ask him for the manuscript, examine manuscript and ask
Sajo about the Guardian, go Southeast when Sajo leaves and ask him about
Carmon (the answers are basically clues as to what you need to do, etc.).
Go down into the Dungeon, Question Putron, Charm or Kiss Guard, Interrogate
Putron, then return to the Hall and search the various rooms (look at the
object list at the end of this solution to help you find everything).
The Kitchen has cakes and a knife - search table for the latter and examine
oven to discover the cakes. To get the cakes: use towel to get cakes or
remove/get cakes with towel. The Dining Hall: examine the table to find the
book, then swap the book for the towel (you can swap them again if you've
done this before getting the cakes), examine the book and make a note of
what it says, then drop it - collect it later if you want, but it just
provides a clue for later, and at this stage you'll probably need to only
carry useful items. The Town Square is just a 'pass-through' location,
although the Pedlar may be here, in which case examine pedlar to discover
what he is selling then examine the various items, buying the thread when
you can. To buy the map, you'll need a gold nugget. Buy the other items
available at the two shops (North and Northeast of the Square), i.e., the
meat, the hooks and the rope - they're all needed.
To get money:- 2 ways (and you'll need to do both). Sell cakes to baker,
sell jewellery to pedlar. To enter the Temple: examine the priests then
remove shoes. To pass the robbers on the narrow road, pray in the Temple of
the Sun and take the talisman, then keep it until the robbers run off. (If
you've been robbed, don't worry - just examine shelter in the dell in the
wood to find your belongings again). To carry more objects you'll need a
bag. Examine woman and talk to woman in the cottage (North of the village)
then mend shawl (but make sure that you first have the needle and thread).
To help the Lumberjack, examine him then tear petticoat, bandage
hand/wound, get logs. To catch the dog, type CATCH DOG WITH ROPE (make sure
you're holding the latter first, though) then just go to the house
Southeast of the Town Square and you'll be rewarded with a tinderbox.
To get the brooch:- first examine the pools (South of the cove), then make
a crabbing line with string and hooks (if you ask the fisherman about
crabs, he'll give you a hint), put bait on hooks then either fish or lower
line and you'll catch the crab, then get brooch. To get the nugget to buy
the map, give the brooch to the hermit, ask hermit about ring (provided you
have it, of course - give a coin to the tramp then get the ring). To get
salt, examine slab at cove then scrape salt with knife.
Carmon:- Go East into his room, wait, say No to both of his questions, then
get cask, examine cask, examine powder, go West and ask Carmon about
Russinor/Glade if you want, but he's not allowed to be helpful. To find
Glade/Russinor free the little girl East of the clearing in the woods by
cutting the brambles, then West and play with the children, then scatter
the powder on the pool.
To move the rubble in the ruined cottage go to the Farmhouse then quietly
to the baby or rock baby gently then ask the Farmer to go to the ruined
cottage or tell him to go North, etc., at the necessary locations, then go
to the Cottage and ask him to move the rubble. To get the dove, pick corn
when in the cornfield, throw corn when under gnarled tree, then play flute
and he'll follow you to the Marsh - if he does fly off, just repeat the
process. To enter the Marsh, drop the logs (given by the Lumberjack) then
push logs or make path with logs then carefully cross logs. In the Marsh go
South to the Lake, play the flute and get into the boat, provided you have
the dove with you, Marissa will give you a chalice, climb into the boat to
return to the other side of the lake. To pass the Mist to the East of the
Plains, you must be carrying the glow-worm - found Northwest of the first
location in the Marsh. At the Henge, examine the chalice to discover some
runes, read the runes (they are just words written sideways so turn your
head to read them - the tramp will give you a clue if you rub the ring then
ask the Tramp about the runes - provided you have the chalice), put chalice
on slab, say the words on the chalice (POTENCO EL JADON) and the Guardian
will swap the chalice for the Jade Stone.
Now, to find Mallumo.........in the Tavern buy a drink for the traveller,
ask him about the Stone if you want, then give him the map for a clue as to
how to get through the Mountains. At the Canyon go Up (listed in the
exits). To find the Passage, examine/cut/burn brambles on the ledge -
unfortunately a snake appears. To dispose of the snake you'll need the
stick and tinderbox - light stick, you'll go Down and the snake will
disappear into the passage, only to be eaten by the Bear! The Army and your
Father will charge into battle, and a time factor now comes into play
(should be ample time to finish, though, if you leave the snake until you
have everything you need, including the sickle from the Barn, the armour,
the sword - bent or otherwise - you'll get a replacement if it is, provided
you keep it, the incense, tinderbox, Stone and the salt.
To enter the Castle, you must first dispose of the Putrons at the camp -
talking to them should provide a clue, also remember where you found the
incense and what was painted there, so in the Cave light the incense then
go to the Camp, examine the Putrons to find a horn (and possibly a sword if
your other one was bent), then go to the Castle walls and to open the gate,
blow horn.
In the Castle, you'll need to kill the sleeping Putron in the Dungeon in
order to get his keys. To get the keys, you'll first need to dispose of the
vulture at the top of the Tower, do this by throwing meat, then examine
turrets to find some wire, return to the Dungeons and get keys with wire
(can't), so bend wire and try again. In the Guard Room the graphic is meant
to help: examine the bed to find a blanket. In the Untidy Room, examine the
chairs, junk etc., until a piece of paper falls onto the floor then read
it. In the Hall look behind or pull tapestries to discover a panel, examine
the panel to discover a slot, open panel with key or insert key into slot.
In the Temple, examine the altar to discover the evil force. Pour salt on
the floor, say VENKI MALBONE (the piece of paper and the book were your
clues for this), examine the altar and pull switch then go South.
To win: There are various endings but the one that earns you full points is
the following:- Throw sickle at rope (to free Guy), you'll be surrounded by
flames so smother/extinguish flames with the blanket, then throw the Jade
Stone at the orb (however, if your Father has been killed in the battle
before you finish, your score will be less). Other ways to finish are to
throw the Stone at the orb WITHOUT freeing Guy first; running out of time;
kissing or marrying Carmon; getting killed by Mallumo; dying from the heat
of the flames.
