Part 1
You begin your adventures inside Manannan’s house. For the first part of the game, Manannan will give you random menial tasks to complete, and if you don’t complete them in time, he will punish you. But he does leave his house every so often, giving you a chance to plan your escape. As always, SAVE OFTEN!
The tasks are:
CLEAN THE KITCHEN: The kitchen is on the Ground Floor, behind the Dining Room. Go there, and pick up broom from left of the fire place. You automatically start sweeping the floor.
EMPTY CHAMBER POT: The chamber pot is in Manannan’s bedroom. Go up to the First Floor, and enter room at top of the stairs. The pot is next to the bed. Pick it up, and empty it out the window. Leave the room when you’re done.
FEED THE CHICKENS: Go outside. There is a barrel of chicken feed next to the house. Grab a handful of chicken feed to feed the chickens.
DUST THE STUDY: The study is on the Ground Floor. Just as you enter the house, there’s a room right in front of you. Enter it. Pick up duster from on top of cabinet on the left, and you automatically start dusting the room. Leave the room when you’re done.
MANANNAN’S HOUSE
Okay, let’s begin. Manannan will appear in a few seconds, and give you a task to complete - do it.
When you are in the hall, look at painting in the stairway. Manannan may come to check up on you after a few minutes, but just ignore him.
After you’ve completed your task, go to the kitchen on the Ground Floor (if you’re not already there). Go to table on the right, and pick up MUTTON, BREAD, and FRUIT. Go to shelves on the left wall and pick up the CLAY BOWL. Go to left of the fireplace (there‘s a rack hanging on the wall), and take the KNIFE, and take the SPOON. Walk down to the
dining room. Go over to the table, and take CUP.
If you have time, climb up to First Floor, and look behind the tapestry for a note about King’s Quest IV.
Shortly after 3 minutes has passed (see the clock timer at top of screen), Manannan tells you he’s going on a journey. He’ll be gone for about 9 minutes (returning at 12.30 on the clock timer). When he is gone, this gives us a chance to explore the house, and begin planning our strategy to escape.
Keep an eye on that clock timer!
You must have noticed the cat wandering around. Well, now that Manannan is gone, look for the cat again - it could be anywhere in the house. When you find him, walk up to him, and grab the CAT. He’ll probably scratch you and wriggle away a few times, but keep trying, until you have a good grip on the cat. Then pluck some FUR from him. Hehe, stupid cat!
Go to First Floor (if you’re not already there). Go into Manannan’s bedroom. Open cupboard on the right - look for the BLACK CLOAK in the cupboard, and search it to find BRASS KEY. Search the black space between the two hats to find a MAGIC MAP. Exit close-up, and close the cupboard again. Go over to drawers on the right, and click on drawers to open them. Pick up ROSE ESSENCE, then exit the close-up and close the drawer. Go over to drawers on the left, and open the drawers. Take MIRROR from drawer, then exit the close-up and close the drawer. Now leave the bedroom.
Walk upstairs to the tower. Watch Manannan’s cat kill the fly. Pick up DEAD FLY. Use the telescope. Now leave the tower.
Make your way down to the Ground Floor, and enter the study. Now walk over to bookshelf on the right, and look at the books. Search through all the books (love those book titles!).
Now you don’t have time to dawdle, but you should have enough time to explore some of the village of Llewdor, so leave the study and leave the house.
Outside, grab a handful of CHICKEN FEED, and use it to feed the chickens. Quickly, enter the chicken coop, and grab a chicken. It will probably evade your grasp a few times, but keep trying. When you have good hold of a chicken, pluck a CHICKEN FEATHER. Now release the chicken, and leave the chicken coop.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Carefully walk down the long & winding path, being careful not to fall. When you see the eagle, give MUTTON CHOP to eagle. It will fly down, grab the MUTTON CHOP, then fly away. Take EAGLE FEATHER that is left behind. Continue down the path.
LlEWDOR TOWN
At bottom of path, walk right twice, then down once to the Library.
Look at library, then look at note next to the door of library. So the library is closed indefinitely? We’ll see about that! Look at boxes at side of library, and climb up boxes to the window. The window is not open wide enough for you to get through - simply use your SPOON to flip the latch, and open the window wider. Now open the window, and climb through,
Inside the library, look at BLUE BOOK on the floor. Pick up BLUE BOOK, and click it on yourself to start reading it. It’s a JOURNAL of Manannan’s last slave, and it makes for interesting, but sad reading. Pay particular attention to Page 12, where he talks about the bookshelf in the study, and the trapdoor. This could help a lot with your escape. Note down the 10 (2 rows of 5) symbols that are on the page. It changes with every game, so it’s important to note them down now. Climb ladder and leave the library.
Walk left twice, and up once to the Mountain Path. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Climb up the mountain, and return to Manannan’s house.
MANANNAN’S HOUSE
Enter house, and enter the study. Walk over to cabinet in the bottom-left corner. You have the KEY from Manannan’s bedroom, so use KEY to unlock cabinet. Wow, there’s a magic WAND in here - take the WAND. Now walk over to bookshelf on the right. Search through the books again, and this time, you notice something unusual. In the close-up, click on the book spines to reveal some levers. According to the journal, you need to pull Levers in the correct order. Look at symbols above the levers - they‘re the same as the symbols in the journeal. Pull levers in the correct order (according to Page 12 on the journal), and a trapdoor is revealed. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, and walk down the steps into the secret laboratory. If the cat is here, it will trip you up and make you fall down the stairs, so go back up the steps, then come back down.
Continue down steps to the bottom, making sure you don’t fall. Walk over to the shelves next to the stairs. The shelves are filled with jars of stuff. Search through the shelves, and pick up EMPTY FLASK, TOAD SPITTLE, TOADSTOOL POWDER, SAFFRON, NIGHTSHADE JUICE, and GROUND FISH SCALES. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.
Now click on the Spell Book on table at the bottom to get a close-up. You’re ready to prepare your first spell - ‘Flying Like An Eagle Or A Fly‘.
Flying Like An Eagle Or A Fly
Turn to relevant page in the Spell Book - the second page
In your inventory, add SAFFRON to ROSE ESSENCE
Exit your inventory
Recite the spell from Spell Book
In your inventory, wave WAND over ROSE ESSENCE
You now have MAGIC ROSE ESSENCE. Congratulations.
Now time is running short. Remember, green timer means you’re safe, yellow timer means Manannan is on his way back so you have less than 2 minutes left, red timer means he’s in the house and looking for you. So SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, and leave this lab, and head back up to the study. Again, watch out for the cat.
Back in the study, you have to cover your tracks, so Manannan won’t know what you’re up to. Close the trap door. Return WAND to cabinet on the left, and close the cabinet door. Leave the study, and go to the Entrance Hall.
Climb up stairs to the First Floor, and walk right, into your bedroom. Pretty shabby, isn’t it? Specially compared to Manannan’s luxury room. Anyway, you must hide everything that’s magic-related, or Manannan will kill you. Click on your bed, and HIDE all the blue-outlined stuff under your bed. Leave your bedroom.
When Manannan returns in a puff of smoke, he will demand a meal, before disappearing again. Make your way to the dining hall - he’s there, waiting to get fed. You better do something about it soon. Give BREAD to Manannan, and he’ll scoff it down quickly. Talk to him, and ask about residents of Llewdor. He doesn’t speak very highly of them. Leave the dining room, and walk around for a while.
Hang around the house until Manannan tells you he’s going to bed. You can use this time to work on your escape plan again. Go to your bedroom, click on your bed, and Retrieve All your items. Now leave the house, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Carefully walk down the mountain path, all the way to the bottom.
LLEWDOR TOWN
At bottom of mountain path, keep an eye out for the Bandits, and avoid them if you can. If they catch you, simply reload your game. Now walk down twice, to The 3 Bears House. The bears should be leaving their house.
Enter house, and look at 3 bowls of porridge on the table. Take the smallest (middle) bowl of PORRIDGE. Head upstairs to the bedroom, and look at dresser in top-right corner. Open drawer, and get the THIMBLE. Now leave the 3 Bears House.
Look at the flowerbed, and use THIMBLE on flowerbed to get DEW. Also, use hand icon on garden to grab some FERTILE SOIL.
Walk right one screen. There’s a nice tree here, on the cliff top. Notice the white speckles in the tree? That’s mistletoe - this is a mistletoe tree. So go over to it, and get the MISTLETOE.
Walk up once, to the town. There is a seagull here, sitting on the net at lower-right corner. Walk over to it, to scare it away, then take the FISH that is left behind. Enter tavern, and talk to the barmaid twice. Now leave the tavern.
Walk right onto the pier. Remember that Fly spell you prepared earlier? Now, we can have some fun with it, but you have to be quick, so SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. In your inventory, use hand icon on the FLY, so you are left with FLY WINGS. Now combine FLY WINGS with the jar of pink MAGIC ESSENCE. Wow, you really have turned into a fly!
Now fly left to the Tavern, and fly in the open window on right of the Tavern. There should be 2 bandits here, sitting at the table (if they’re not here, fly back out to the pier, then return). Fly over to them, and overhear their conversation about the hideout. Fly out of the tavern.
Back outside, SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Fly left 2 screens, so you are at the Oak Tree. You’re hard to spot since you’re a fly, so be careful. Fly in through hole in the base of the tree, so you can see the rope. You automatically leave the tree, before the spell wears off.
When you become human again, search hole at base of tree, and pull the trigger to release the rope ladder. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Climb up the ladder, but don’t enter the hut yet. When you’re standing on the porch, look into the hut. If someone is moving around, simply Restore your game, and try again. If someone is asleep in the chair, it’s safe to enter the treehouse.
Inside the treehouse, creep around the right edge of the treehouse, and then take the COIN PURSE from table on the left. If you’ve been whacked by the bandits, all your stuff will be here in the treehouse. Go to bin at top-right and search the bin, then retrieve all your items. Now leave the treehouse and go back down the ladder.
Now you have money, thanks to those nasty bandits. Walk right twice, and enter the General Store.
Give COIN PURSE to the shop owner, and buy SALT, buy POUCH, buy LARD, and buy FISH OIL. Click on ‘Done’ to exit the BUY option. Pet the dog, to get some DOG HAIR. Now leave the shop.
Walk up 3 times, until you see the spider web. Imagine the spider that spun a web this big (shudder!). In your inventory, combine EAGLE FEATHER with MAGIC ESSENCE. Wow, you’ve turned into an eagle!
Fly into the web, and watch as Eagle-Gwydion deals with the spider. After the cutscene, you turn back into human form. Now that the spider’s gone, simply walk up into the cave.
Take MANDRAKE ROOT from the ground - it’s easy to miss, but it’s there. The Oracle appears, so talk to her. Time does not pass when you’re with the Oracle, so don’t worry about that. Watch a cutscene, as the Oracle slowly reveals the truth about your past. In the flashback, look around the room. Make sure you look at the blue cot twice, to see Manannan abducting you as a baby. Continue talking to the Oracle, and ask about everything you can. When cutscene is over, leave the cave.
Walk right, to the ocean. Use your glass FLASK on the ocean to get FLASK WITH OCEAN WATER. Walk left 4 times, to the desert. Use hand icon on the ground, to get a handful of SAND. Walk up to the door, and look at it. You can’t do anything with it yet, but it ‘marks’ this area on your map, so you can transport here later on. Now walk down 3 times, and pick up SNAKE SKIN.
Your timer is probably yellow now, so you should get back to Manannan’s house quickly. Remember the MAGIC MAP you found earlier? Click that on yourself, and you’ll see a partly-drawn map. Only the areas you have already visited will be accessible to you. Click on the mountain top, and you’ll transport to half-way up the mountain path. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, and climb the rest of the way up to Manannan’s house.
MANANNAN’S HOUSE
Enter house, and climb upstairs to the First Floor. You can see Manannan sleeping in his bed. Go right, into your bedroom. Click on your bed, and Hide everything that’s outlined in blue (items connected with magic). Now leave your bedroom.
Manannan will wake up soon, and tell you he’s hungry. He demands food, then disappears again.
Walk down to the dining room - he’s there, waiting for you. Give him the FRUIT, and he scoffs it down quickly. Talk to him to ask how long you’ve been here. The answer doesn’t give you much confidence!
Now leave Manannan, and walk around the house until he tells you he’s going on another journey. Now you can finalise your Escape Plans.
Go to your bedroom, click on your bed, and Retrieve All your items. Leave the bedroom, and go to Study on the Ground Floor. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Use KEY on cabinet on the left, and take MAGIC WAND.
Now walk over to bookshelf on the right. Look at that set of blue books on the bottom shelf, and click the hand icon on them to open the secret trapdoor. SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.
Walk down stairs, all the way to the bottom. You are back in the secret lab.
Walk over to table at the bottom - the one with the spell book on. Now click on the Spell Book on table at the bottom to get a close-up. You’re ready to prepare another spell. Okay, let’s begin.

LLEWDOR TOWN
Select the Town\Pier as your destination. Enter the Tavern, and try to take LUTE from wall on the right. Talk to the barmaid to learn of the LUTE’s origins (could she be talking about a previous slave to Manannan?). Keep talking to the barmaid until she says you can take the LUTE if you give a performance. Drink the MUSICAL TALENT POTION, then take LUTE from the wall, and give an amazing musical performance to the barmaid. She let’s you take the LUTE. Leave the tavern.
Use MAGIC MAP on yourself, and select Oak Tree as your destination. Search through ACORNS at base of the tree, until you find DRIED ACORNS.
Walk up on screen, to the Bard. Talk to him a few times, until he says his poems would be better sung, but he has no instrument. Give him your LUTE, and he’ll start singing… terribly! Then he leaves. Take the water PITCHER that he left behind. In your inventory, look at PITCHER, and see the world ‘Vandtolvmere’. It’s a magic word.
Walk up one screen, and look at big rock on the left - the one under the tree. It has a big hole in it. Use PITCHER on hole in the rock, to say the magic word. The PITCHER breaks, but a glass bottle appears in the hole - quickly take the glass bottle, and it changes into a PARCHMENT. In your inventory, look at the PARCHMENT to realise it’s a page from Manannan’s Spell Book. And a comment from his last slave on the back of it. Click MAGIC MAP on yourself, and select Manannan’s House. Now continue walking up the path to the house.

Climb up to the First Floor, then go right to your bedroom. Click on your bed, and Hide all the items with a blue outline. Now leave the bedroom, and wait for Manannan to return.
When he appears, he’ll demand more food, then disappear again. Go down to the dining room - he’s waiting there for you. Give him the (tainted) PORRIDGE, and watch as he turns into a cat! Yippee! You’re free! You can explore all you want now, without fear of punishment or death!

In your bedroom, click on your bed, and Retrieve All your items.
Leave your bedroom, and go down to the Study on the Ground floor. Now that Manannan can’t hurt you, you can prepare spells whenever you want. Look at his desk. Search the desk several times, until you find the mysterious LETTER. Use the LETTER on yourself to read it.
