Title: Barn Dilemma Help
Post by: on Thu 31/07/2008 10:25:38
I have managed to get to the high level. Filed a hole in the door. Found the wire. Tried everything to get the key. How do I get the key?

It's the classical "Escape The Room" trick!

Spoiler
You've made the space under the door already bigger. So the key can now slide underneath: use the paper on the door, use the wire on the keyhole to push the key out. Move the paper to get the paper and key out.

I have clicked the scroll and the book (open and closed) on the door. No luck. Where is the paper?

Close the box at ground level. It's on the outside of the lid.

Okay, now I have a problem.  I can't get a single spell to work right.  I don't see how I supposed to mix Air in with the light potion and every other spell just ends up with a "That's useless, I'll start over" message.  I made it to the top floor but I can't see anything.  Help.

You don't mix the air with the light potion. You apply the potion 'to air'.

Spoiler
Take the ingredients needed (or take them all) and use them in order on the pot standing on the stove in the middle. When done you should have one bottle with ALCOHOL and one with a POTION.

Leave the kitchen on the right and use the rope to climb into the attic. Use the bottle with weird stuff to put it on the ground. Open the bottle to add air and then use the bottle with alocohol on the potion on the floor to create light.

Annoying game.  REALLY annoying game.  I'm stuck again.

The potion worked okay but the others don't work at all and I can't get past the upstairs door.  Reading the other problem, I find that I need a wire but I have no idea how to find it.  Help.  I've clicked every option on every item and hotspot on the game, I've used every item on everything and NOTHING WORKS.  I'm at my wits end!

So when there's light...
Spoiler
Move the clamp standing on the box to discover the WIRE under it.

Thanks for the help but please just give me a walkthrough.  I can't seem to get anything to work and I'm often left wondering if it's a bug.  Like in this case, whenever I try to use something on the chest it just says, "Maybe I should use something on it."

The parts I gave you were from the walkthrough (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/barn-dilemma-walkthrough-abada2008/).  ;D

I only know of one major flaw in this game (as mentioned in the walkthrough).

Thanks, I finished it.  Unfortuantely, the ending wasn't worth the aggrivation.
