CHAPTER 1: WHERE IN THE BLAZES AM I?

​

You begin your adventures as Queen Valanice, somewhere in the desert.  A weird jackalope creature is dashing around.  Then, you rip your dress on a sharp cactus.  Damn!   Get RIPPED PETTICOAT from the cactus, and use it on the eye to get a better look at it.  You can use the cursor to spin it around at view it from all angles.  When you are ready, exit the close-up.  

​

Walk left, to the pool.  Look into the pool, to see a hidden room under the water.  If only you could get down into that room.  Click on the pool again, to realise it contains salt water, not fresh water.  Click on branch next to the pool to get a STICK.  In your inventory, combine STICK with RIPPED PETTICOAT to get a FLAG.  Now click on the sparkles at front of the pool to get some SALT CRYSTALS.  There’s also a statue here - click on base of the statue twice, to see a clue you will need later on.  Exit the close-up.  You can’t do anything else with the statue or pool right now, so we’ll come back here later.  

​

Walk up one screen, to see a giant face in the ground, along with some footprints.  Click on the face and the footprints - you don’t get much information about them.  

 

Walk right, and you will see water dripping onto sand.  Walk up into the cave, and you’ll see 4 pots on a table.  Pick up the CLAY POTS.  They will all break, except the last one.  Pick up BASKET from the ground.  Click it on the eye the get a better view of it, then click on it to open it.  Rotate it, until you see something glinting.  Click on the glint to obtain a CORN KERNEL.  Exit the close-up.  Leave the cave.

 

Now use CORN KERNEL on the wet sand, and a plant stalk will grow.  Get EAR OF CORN from the plant stalk.  Now look at drawings on the rock on the right - that‘s another clue for you.  When you exit the close-up, the gourd on the left will have split open, so click on it to get GOURD SEED.   

​

Walk down and left, so you are back at the pool.  Use CLAY POT on the pool to get some SALT WATER.  Look again at symbols at base of the statue, then exit the close-up.  Put your SALT WATER into the bowl the statue is holding.  Use GOLDEN COMB on yourself twice, to make yourself cry into the statue’s bowl.  Put EAR OF CORN on the statue’s hand, and it will transform the salt water into fresh water.   Use your CLAY POT on the statue’s bowl, to get some FRESH WATER.  

​

Walk down, and head right.  Continue right until you see the ghost, and quickly talk to him - he will tell you he’s haunted by a great thirst, before walking away.  Head right again, until you see him again, and then quickly talk to him again.  This time, give him the FRESH WATER.  He thanks you, and takes you to his remains - take the ROPE from his skeleton.

  

Walk up twice, so you are back where you started.  Walk right to the temple entrance.  SAVE YOUR  GAME HERE.  

 

Enter the temple, and a giant scorpion will attack.  Use FLAG on the scorpion - it will attack, and it’s tail will get stuck in the wall.  Click on stone block at right side of the room to see a close-up of it.  Click on the big rainbow icon in the centre, and a beam of light will appear.  Now get RED CRYSTAL from the left, and use it in circle to the right of the small statue.  Get BLUE CRYSTAL, and put it in the statue’s left hand.  Get YELLOW CRYSTAL, and put it in the statue’s right hand.  A secret hidey-hole will open up - get the TURQUOISE PIECE that is now revealed.  Now exit the close-up and leave the temple.  

 

 

Walk up, to see 2 burrow holes.  Click on the burrow holes, and the jackalope you saw earlier will ‘greet’ you.  There is a small door on the right.  The sign above the door says ‘Rare Curiosities’.  Knock on the door twice, and a short-sighted mole will answer.   He tells you the jackalope stole his specs, and he can’t see without them.  Just at the moment - the jackalope appears behind you, wearing the mole’s specs, and he taunts you.  You’ve had enough of the jackalope’s rudeness!

 

Walk down one screen, and then go left until you see cactuses standing next to each other.  Use MAGIC ROPE on cactus on the left to create a trip-wire.  The jackalope will trip, and drop the GLASSES.  Serves him right!  Get JACKALOPE HAIR from the cactus and get GLASSES from the ground.  Go back up, and then right to the Rare Curiosities Shop.  Knock on the ‘Rare Curiosities’ door, and give GLASSES to the mole.  Also, give GOURD SEED to the mole, and he will give you a TURQUOISE BEAD in return.  

​

Walk left, until you see the giant head, and footprints in the ground.  Notice the bush with pink fruit here.  Use STICK on the pink fruit to knock it down, then pick up PRICKLY PEAR from the ground.  

​

Walk down, so you are back at the pool.  Now remember those visual clues you saw earlier on?  Click on the statue head, to make it become a sunny head.  Click on the statue necklace to get a close-up, and make the blue beads line up in the 3rd column.  Exit the close-up, and click on lower-hand (on the left, look for the sparkly bit), and the statue bowl will turn upside down, and the pool with drain.  

 

Climb down the steps into the now-drained pool.  There is another statue down here - click on the statue bowl to get a close-up of the bowl.  Click on it, to realise it’s an Offering Bowl.  Place your TURQUOISE BEAD in the Offering Bowl, and the statue will nod.  Look at Offering Bowl again to get another close-up of it, and take TURQUOISE PIECE on the right (the V-shaped piece).  In your inventory, combine both TURQUOISE PIECEs to make an arrow-shaped PUZZLE.  

​

Now climb back up the steps, and walk up one screen to the giant head.  Look closely at top of mouth area \ door area in the giant head, and click on the sparkly arrow indent to get a close-up.  Use the turquoise arrow-shaped PUZZLE piece on the arrow indent, and a door will open up.  Walk through the doorway to end the chapter. 

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 2:  A TROLL IS AS A TROLL DOES

​

You begin this chapter as Princess Rosella, in the troll-king’s castle.  BUT… you have transformed into a troll yourself!  The horror of it all!  Watch the cutscene as you are escorted to your chambers.  

​

Have a look around your bedroom if you like, but you can’t do anything here at the moment.  When you are ready, leave the bedroom.  

 

Watch the cutscene with Matilda, the King’s assistant (ex-nursemaid).  Matilda can turn you back into a human, if you bring her some ingredients - baked beetles, crystal dragon scale, a gold bowl, water of emerald, a silver spoon.  Matilda also tells you that the King has been acting strange lately.  Watch another cutscene with the troll-child throwing down her toy rat in disgust.  When both cutscenes are over, pick up the TOY RAT.  Sit on the throne, for a bit of fun.  Get SHIELD from the wall next to the throne.  Click SHIELD on the eye to get a close-up view of it, and click on the spike to get SHIELD SPIKE.  Now exit the close-up.  

​

On the left of the screen, is a red Jacuzzi area - enter it.  When you enter the Jacuzzi room, there are 2 trolls relaxing in the Jacuzzi.  Try to talk to them, but they are both asleep.  Leave the area, and watch a cutscene with the evil Malicia and the trolls.  Go back to the trolls and talk to them - they are terrified of Malicia.  Leave the area again.  

​

From the throne room, head through the upper-right exit, into the kitchen.  Watch a cutscene with the chef.  When the chef sees you, he will throw you out.  

 

Return to the kitchen through the upper-right exit.  Use TOY RAT on the chef, and watch as he chases the TOY RAT around the kitchen, then into the store room.  That’s got rid of the chef!  Have a look around the kitchen.  Get BOWL from the shelves, and then click BOWL on the eye for a close-up view.  Flip the BOWL over - if it says ‘Brass’ on the bottom of it, put it back on the shelves, and get the other bowl.  Now click this BOWL on the eye, and make sure it’s the GOLD BOWL.  Now get the BAKED BEETLES from the brown vending machine (between the shelves and the stew).  Leave the kitchen, and return to the throne room.  

​

Take lower-left exit to the blacksmith’s shop.  Have a look around if you like, and chat to the 2 trolls here.  That smithy-troll is really full of himself, isn’t he?  When you are ready, head up through the doorway.  

 

This cave smells like rotten eggs.  Use your GOLD BOWL in the green water, to get BOWL WITH GREEN WATER.  Get LANTERN from the back shelf.  Now walk towards left side of the room.  See that stuff on the wall?  Click on it, to realise it’s sulphur.  Walk down a little bit, to the part of the screen that juts out to the left.  Now jump onto that middle platform, then jump to the left ridge.  Click on the wall to get WET SULPHUR.  Now jump back across the platform, and back to solid ground.  Now leave the cave through doorway on the right.  

​

You are back with the 2 trolls now.  Notice the smithy-troll’s fire.  When he uses his bellows on the fire, use LANTERN in the fire, to get LANTERN WITH SPARK.  Continue right, back to the throne room.  

 

Go through the lower-right exit.  There is lava here, and some kind of bucket-lift.  Try to cross the bridge, but a troll will jump up and block your way.  Talk to the troll, but he demands payment before he will let you across.  Oh well!  Walk up to wooden cart at top-left of the screen.  It has a wheel missing.  Use SHIELD on the cart, and then use SHIELD SPIKE on cart, to hold the wheel in place.  Finally, ride the cart.  Heeheehee, you knocked that mean troll from the bridge, right into the lava!  Well done, you!  Now continue right across the bridge.  

​

Walk right through the crystal room, and right again to the dragon’s den.  Isn’t the dragon magnificent!  Talk to the dragon to learn that the poor thing has lost her spark, and thus has lost the will to live.  Give her LANTERN WITH SPARK.  She can breathe fire again!  Her love for life has returned, and she gives you a BIG GEM in return.  

 

Head left, and continue left, until you’re in the throne room again.  Take upper-left exit, into the Jacuzzi area.  Two female trolls should be here, discussing the merits of wet sulphur.  If not, leave, and then return.  After the cutscene, talk to the female trolls.  Now go right, back to the throne room.  

​

Take lower-left exit, so you are with the 2 worker trolls again.  Give BIG GEM to the jeweller troll on the left - he gives you his HAMMER AND CHISEL as a ‘thank you‘, and then leaves to buy a brand new hammer and chisel for himself.  Now only the smithy troll remains.  Throw your WET SULPHUR on his fire, and it sends him to sleep (this won’t work, until you have seen the 2 female trolls in the Jacuzzi discussing wet sulphur).  Get TONGS that are hanging on the rack above the fire, and use them to pick up HOT BOX on table behind the sleeping troll.  Now dip HOT BOX into the bucket of cold water, and open box to get SILVER SPOON.  Return TONGS to the rack.

 

Head right to leave the cave, and then continue right, back to where you saw the crystal dragon.  The dragon has returned after a glorious flight, and is now snoring away, fast asleep.  Use your HAMMER AND CHISEL on the dragon’s tail, to get a DRAGON SCALE.  

 

Walk left, and continue left, to the throne room.  Talk to Matilda, and tell her you have all the ingredients.  Give her the GOLD BOWL first, and then give her SILVER SPOON, BAKED BEETLES, and DRAGON SCALE.  Watch the cutscene, as Rosella drinks Matilda’s potion, and is returned to human form… before Malicia locks her in her quarters.  

​

In the bedroom, you have to find a way to escape.  Look at painting of the troll king on the wall, and notice smoke coming from his nostrils.  Exit the close-up.  Take BROWN STOOL (next to the bed), and put it on floor under the king’s painting.  Take GREEN STOOL (next to mirror), and put it on top of the BROWN STOOL.  Take BLUE STOOL (front-right of screen), and put it on top of the GREEN STOOL.  Now you can climb up through the vent, and escape.  Watch a very strange scene with evil Malicia and the troll king.  Is Malicia controlling the king somehow?  

 

You find yourself back in the throne room, but Matilda is not here anymore.  Pick up DRAGON TOAD from the throne.  Try to take the left exit back to your bedroom, and overhear Matilda talking to Malicia.

 

Something VERY strange is going on here!  Matilda returns, and sits down in her chair.  Talk to Matilda, and show her the DRAGON TOAD.  Watch another cutscene.  Hmm, so apparently, the REAL troll king is being held prisoner somewhere, and the troll king that Rosella met, is an impostor.  Matilda gives you an ENCHANTED ROPE.  When Malicia appears, use TOY RAT on her, and she leaves.  

 

Go through lower-right exit, back to the troll bridge.  Use ENCHANTED ROPE on the bucket-lift to secure it, then ride the bucket up to the next level.  

 

 

 

 

CHAPTER 3:  THE SKY IS FALLING

 

You’re playing as Valanice again.  You’re trapped in a tunnel, with a giant lizard blocking your path.  Give PRICKLY PEAR to the giant lizard, and he slithers away.  Now walk forward, and leave the tunnel.  You are in a beautiful garden.  Look at broken bridge, look at giant statues, and look at flowers on the left.  Walk left to the next screen.  

 

Watch the cutscene with Attis, the sad stag.  Talk to Attis twice, and he tells you about the curse that has befallen him and his wife.  Click on the tree, to talk to Lady Ceris.  Now walk left again.   There are several trees here, but nothing you can do at the moment.  Walk up to next screen.  

 

There is a spider web here, and a river.  Use the stones on the river as stepping stones to jump across.  Now you have reached that nasty spider web.  The spider is venomous, so don’t touch it with your hands.  Use BASKET on the spider to capture it, then free the bird from the spider web.  Walk up into the cave.  There’s a huge pink gate in front of you.  Watch the short cutscene.  Have a look around if you want, and when you’re ready, enter through through the small door, to enter the town.  

​

You’re in the town of Falderal now, and Arch Duke Fifi greets you.  Show the GOLDEN COMB to Fifi, and he takes pity on you and gives you permission to explore the town.  

 

Enter the China Shop (pink door), and talk to Fernando the bull (a bull in a china shop, heehee).  He tells you he’s lost his china bird, Treasure, and he is very depressed about it.  Have a look round the shop, making sure to look at Treasure’s cage on the left, and the pink mask on the right.  When you’re ready, leave the shop.  A chick is running around, full of panic that the sky is falling.  Talk to her, and she tells you about the curse from the evil fairy.  

Walk right, and talk to merchant in the sales caravan.  Remove cover from cage on the right, and then open cage to get TREASURE, the china bird.   Go left again. 

 

Enter China Shop (pink door), and give TREASURE to Fernando.  Fernando is overjoyed to have his little buddy back again, and gives you a MASK.  Leave the shop.  

 

Visitors start entering the Town Hall. Wear your MASK, then knock on Town House door to enter.  The MASK prevents you from being identified,  Head up through the door with the red stripe, and a very Escher- type room with lots and lots of stairs.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  

 

Walk down stairs on the right, and then follow the stairs until you arrive at door on the far-right.  Try to open the door, but a puff of smoke will stop you.  Try to open door again, and this time, you can enter the room.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE, then walk through into the Hall Of Mirrors.  Have a loot at all the mirrors, but walk through 4th mirror on the back wall, to enter the Study.  

 

Look at the painting of Arch Duke Fifi above the fireplace.  Open drawer at end of the desk, and then take MAGIC STATUETTE.   Enter through door on the right, to return to the Stair-room.  

 

Follow all the stairs again, until you reach the main staircase, then head down to the ‘crowded room’.  Walk right, to leave the Mayor’s office.  

 

Head right, and get told once again that ‘The Sky Is Falling’… then watch as the big cheese (the moon?) falls into the pool.  Notice the crow’s nest in tree on the left - search nest to find WOODEN NICKEL, which you automatically take.  Use SALT CRYSTALS on Valanice.  Eat the Salt Crystals, and then walk through the purple door, into the shop.  

 

Have look around the shop.  Everything in the shop seems to be fake.  Even the shop owner is a ‘Mock’ turtle!  Look at the display of books on the counter - the price for a book is 1 WOODEN NICKEL.  Give WOODEN NICKEL to the Mock Turtle, and get a BOOK in return.  Give MASK to the shop owner, and get RUBBER CHICKEN in return.  Click RUBBER CHICKEN on the eye to get a better look, then take FEATHER from the RUBBER CHICKEN.  Exit the close-up.  Leave the shop when you are ready.  

 

Head left, and go through gate to leave the town.  Now go right 3 times, until you reach the giant snoring boulder.  Use FEATHER on boulder to tickle him, and wake him up.  He sneezes, and blows your FEATHER away.  He tells you, you must make the river flow again.  Hmmm, easier said than done.  

 

Walk left twice, and down once, and you find yourself back at the river crossing.  Use stones as stepping stones to cross the river, then continue down.  

​

Head down once, and right twice, back to the Broken Bridge.  Talk to the humming bird in flowers at top left.  This is the bird you rescued from the spider earlier.  She offers you some of nectar, so show her your CLAY POT to get NECTAR IN POT.  Now use NECTAR IN POT on statue with the vase, and this will make the river flow again.  Watch the cutscene as lord Attis is saved from the curse.  However, he is still trying to rescue his Lady Cerris.  

​

Head right, and down, so you are in the tunnel where you started this chapter.  Walk down again, and then go right to the Rare Curiosities shop.  Knock on door, and give the mole your BOOK - he gives you a shepherd’s CROOK in return.  

​

Go left, then up through the head, into the tunnel.  Walk up, to enter the beautiful garden again.  This time, walk over the rainbow bridge, and continue up to the snoring boulder.  Now go Left twice, and Up again.  You have arrived back at the pink gate into town.  

​

Open the smaller gate, and enter town of Falderal.  Walk right, to the pond with cheese (moon?) in it, and use your shepherds CROOK to reach the cheese.  Watch a cutscene to end the chapter.
