BABA YAGA

​

No doubt, you’ve heard about the *ahem* charming Baba Yaga by now.  Let’s go and meet her.  

 

Make your way to the Goblin Camp, but don’t bother fighting any of the goblins this time.  Now head up twice, so you are at the wooden fence and the chicken hut.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  

 

Bonehead will start talking to you, and complaining that he doesn’t have a glowing gem like the other skulls, so he can’t see.  He asks you to get a GLOWING GEM for him - tell him YES, it’s a deal.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Talk to Bonehead and ask about everything - make sure he tells you the rhyme.  Now give him your GLOWING GEM, and he‘ll lower the gate for you.  Notice the chicken hut perched on the rocks.  Talk to the hut, and it will jump down to the ground.  Talk to the hut again, and tell it HUT OF BROWN.  The hut will obediently squat down.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  

 

Enter the hut.  Baba Yaga doesn’t like uninvited visitors, so she turns you into a frog, ready to eat you.  She asks if you have a name, so tell her YES.  She asks if you are brave, so again, tell her YES.  She asks if you will fetch her some mandrake root, so tell her YES.  Since you agreed to help her, she transports you back outside her hut, and thankfully, she restores you to human form.  

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Now you only have one day to find a Mandrake Root for dear old Baba Yaga, otherwise she‘ll turn you back into a frog, and eat you.  Okay, so from her hut, sneak down 3 times and right twice, so you are in the graveyard.  

 

Unfortunately, the Mandrake Root can only be taken at midnight.  Check the time, and do whatever you like for now, but stay close to the graveyard.  When it’s the middle of the night - the witching hour, SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Use UNDEAD UNGUENT on yourself, and enter the graveyard.  There’s a lot of ghosts floating around, but they can’t hurt you, since you’re protected by the Undead Unguent.  Now the MANDRAKE ROOT is that red plant you see over on the right.  Sneak over to it, and take the ROOT.  If you hear it scream, you know you’ve done it right.  

 

Return to Baba Yaga’s hut (left twice, and up 3 times), and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Talk to the Chicken Hut, and tell it HUT OF BROWN to enter again.  Baba Yaga will ask if you have the mandrake root, so tell her YES.  She will take the root from you, then let you go.  

​

Make your way up to Erana’s Peace, and sleep for the rest of the night.  Remember to eat FRUIT from the tree, when morning comes.

FREE THE MAN FROM IN THE BEAST QUEST

​

Time for another quest.  You need to prepare yourself first, though.  

 

Head back to the town (remember to SNEAK), and buy some APPLES from Hilde in the Farmer’s Mart.  Now leave town, head up to the Healer’s Hut, and knock on the door to enter.  Click your COIN PURSE on the Healer, and buy STAMINA POTION - 3 should be enough.  Also buy HEALING POTION - as many as you can afford.  

 

Return to Erana’s Peace, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  

 

Sneak down once and right once.  There is a fierce ogre here, guarding a cave.  Fight the ogre.  Phew, all that fighting practice really paid off!  After you defeat him, search his body.  Now use your LOCK PICK to pick the lock of the chest that is lying beside him.  You are rewarded with 1 gold and 43 silvers.  

 

Enter the cave, and see a bear chained to the floor.  Poor bear!  What ever you do, DON’T fight him!  Instead, feed bear with the APPLES you bought from Hilde, and he will let you past.  

 

In the next cave, a Kobold is sleeping here.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Notice the key around his neck.  Sneak up to the Kobold, and take the KEY.  Check your stats, and drink a HEALING POTION if necessary, then sneak towards the bottom of the cave.  You will bump into an invisible chest.  Use your LOCK PICK to pick the lock on the chest, and take COINS to get the 10 golds and 60 silvers left behind.  

 

Return left to the cave with the bear, and unlock the manacle on the bear, using the KOBALD‘S KEY.  Wait… the bear… turns into Baronet Barnard Spielburg - the baron’s missing son!  He was cursed!  He’s not very grateful to you for rescuing him though, and magically teleports himself back to the safety of his castle, using his amulet.  There’s nothing else you can do here, so leave the cave.  

​

​

​

​

THE CASTLE

​

Despite the Baronet’s arrogance, you should make sure he got home safely.  Make your way back to the castle.  Karl, the Gate Keeper, eagerly invites you in.  

 

Sneak up the castle grounds, into the castle.  The Baron is waiting for you, and he is very grateful about the safe return of his son.  When you get the chance, talk to the Baron and ask about everything.  Try to leave the castle, but the Baron insists you stay for the night, so he can show his gratitude.  The next morning, he gives you the 50 gold reward for finding his son.  

​

​

SPIELBERG TOWN

​

Sneak back to town.  Enter the Dry Goods shop, click your COIN PURSE on Kasper, and buy CHAINMAIL ARMOUR.  

​

​

​

​

HEALER’S HUT

​

Leave the town.  Go up to the Healer’s Hut, and knock on the to enter.  Buy VIGOR POTION and buy HEALING POTION - buy as many as you can.  You’re going to need them.  

​

​

​

​

BRING THE CHILD FROM OUT THE BAND QUEST

​

Let’s tackle another quest.  You need to do some preparation first, though.  Your Stealth should be at least 70 by now.  Return to Spielburg Town, and make sure you have the CHAINMAIL ARMOUR from the Dry Goods shop.  

 

Now head for the tavern, enter it.  There is another NOTE on the floor here - click on the NOTE to read it.  The note is about meeting someone at the archery range at noon, so keep your eye on the time.  Now put the NOTE back on the ground, so the meeting can go ahead.  Leave the tavern, and leave the town.  

 

From the town gates, go down one screen and check the time.  When the time is ‘midday’, SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Go left to the archery range, and see Bruno and Brutus talking.  So THAT’S who ‘B’ and ‘B’ are!  Eavesdrop on their conversation to learn about a secret entrance to the Fortress, as well as the secret password - Hiden Goseke.  Bruno will leave now, but Brutus stays behind.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  

 

Throw a DAGGER at Brutus to kill him.  Now wait for 30 seconds or so, to allow Bruno to get out of the forest (If he sees you, he’ll kill you with poisoned daggers).  

 

Head down once, left twice, and then down to ‘The Bouncer’.  Well, he certainly is a bouncer!  This little creature is known as an Antwerp. Run around the Antwerp so he won’t jump on you, and then look at the rock on the left.  Repeat this until you find the keyhole.  Use your LOCK PICK on the rock-keyhole, and repeat this until you hear it click.  Open the door, then SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Talk to the opened door, and say the password - HIDEN GOSEKE - before you enter the cave.  You hear the troll guard to retreat to back of the cave without confrontation.  Now enter the cave.  

 

Inside the cave, follow the path round, and exit by the lower right, to the next screen.  

 

The cave leads you to the Fortress Gate.  Toro the Minotaur is guarding this gate.  Check your stats, and drink a HEALING POTION and STAMINA POTION if necessary,  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Wait until Toro is walking away from you.  Sneak up towards the fence, and then sneak across to the other side.  Now climb up the rock to enter the fortress.  Keep trying until you manage to climb over the fence.  

 

You’re in the Fortress courtyard now.  Notice the 2 blockades with a rug in between them.  Whatever you do, don’t step on the rug, because it is a trap.  SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  You may want to slow down your speed here.  Sneak to the right slightly, and look at the rope to see the trip-rope.  Those brigands don’t make things easy, do they?  Step over the rope to reach the edge of the pit.  There are 2 bridges here.  Cross over the bridge on the right (the one with the note).  There is another trip-rope here, between the sacks and the barrels, so make sure you look at the rope, then step over the rope.  Now click on door at the top-right to enter the next room.  

 

As soon as you enter here, SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  This is another tricky bit, and it’s easy to die here.  You’ve reached the main hall now.  Close door at bottom of screen (the door you entered through) to prevent anyone else from entering through this door.  Now sneak up to door on the right, with the chair near it.  Notice the brigands at the main door at the bottom.  They notice the door is closed.  As soon as they start to leave (not before), move the chair to block door on the right, and stop them from coming in that way.  The only entrance left, is the one on the left.  Three brigands will enter from the left, and they sneak behind the table to get to you.  As soon as the first one is behind the table, push candelabra to the right of the large table (next to where you are now) to stop them from reaching you.  Now quickly sneak in front of the table, and after the last brigand has passed the chair on the left, climb up onto the table, and pull rope on the wall.  Another candelabra will fall from the ceiling, onto the 3 brigands, trapping them.  Now open door at the back wall, and enter up into the next screen.  

 

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  This is a very strange room.  And the man you see here is equally strange.  He’s the brigand warlock that you read about on the Quest Board.  But he’s really Yorick, the jester.  Talk to Yorick and ask about everything.  He realises you are a friend, and you may be Elsa’s only hope.  

 

Make your way to door on the right - you’ll fall through a trapdoor and start rolling endlessly down the same path.  Simply click on the path to come to a halt.  Again, enter door on the right.  You’ll end up on the left, above the blue box.  Very confusing!  Pull the chain in front of you to open door at the top right.  Quickly head back the way you came, and sneak up through the newly-opened door.  You find yourself in front of the blue door at top left now.  Open the door, and quickly step away before the door flattens you.  There’s another door behind the blue door, so again, open the door.  Sneak through this door.  

 

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  This room belongs to the brigand leader.  In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the brigand leader is really Elsa, who has been enchanted.  So DON’T fight her!  Use DISPEL POTION on Elsa to break the enchantment.  Elsa will finally remember who she really is.  Elsa and Yorick are extremely grateful to you.  They return to the castle using Elsa’s amulet, but you have to get out of here yourself.  You don’t have much time now, before the brigands break in.  Sneak over to the desk, and get the HEALING POTION and the MAGIC MIRROR.  Now quickly leave the room through the passage on the right.  You find yourself back outside the Antwerp’s cave again.  

 

Now you still have one more thing to do, before returning to the castle.

DRIVE THE CURSOR FROM THE LAND

​

Spielburg has been plagued by the evil Baba Yaga for so long.  And you have a personal score to settle with her, for turning you into a frog.  It’s time to get even with her!  

 

Return to Baba Yaga’s hut, and SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  The skull will ask if you want to enter, so tell him YES.  Talk to the Chicken Hut, and say HUT OF BROWN, then enter the hut.  

 

Click the Magic Mirror on Baba-Baby, and when she tries to turn you back into a frog, the spell is reflected back onto her, and she’s hopping mad!  

 

With Baba gone, the brigands disbanded, and both the baron’s children returned, Spielburg is now free from the curse.  And you are a true hero!  Congratulations are definitely in order.  

 

Now sit back, as you, Abdulla, Shameen and Shema fly off on the magic carpet, to adventures unknown.
