Title: HAUNTED HOLLOW- flower-beaker
Post by: sunshinegold on Thu 04/03/2004 06:08:46
Where do I get the flower?  
I have the coin but where is the gum?
How do you open thel desk in classroom and is it necessary?
What about the filing cabinet?
I try using the invisible ink on the beaker but I need something else before? what ?

I seem to be going around in circles and I don't know where I have to go first (house, museum, school, church, manor)? I have tools but don't really know when or where to use them.

Tools: sponge, steak=dog, coin, invisible ink, toothpicks, axe,

Have you visited the park?

Sunshinegold,

flower is in park (you can get to it because you have the axe-us the axe on something else in park)

gum is on church door

you can only open the "student" desk on the right

forget the file cabinet

search the books in the school library for the recipe of ingredients to put in beaker-it falls out of a book.  (when looking at the books, keep looking again and again because there are 2 places in which the book changes each time you look)

Hope that helps!!

Aicram and Tina, I think you're both stuck on the same puzzle. You need to do something in the museum.

Hint:
Spoiler
You need to get the vase out of the building
[close]

Solution:
Spoiler
Open the window and throw the vase out. There is an exit to the right outside the museum where you can pick it up.

How do I get past the museum man to find the vase and coin. I need either money or a voucher and Ive looked everywhere and can't find either. also why won't the dog eat the steak and how do I pull the switch on the control panel. I,ve been going round in circles.

Where,s AJ's Mum? I haven't come across her yet.
I went out the back door and ended up on the map of the town.

You will find the voucher near his mother.

As for the dog and the panel, I am still working on that.

Same thing here. My game keeps freezing. But I wonder if it's because I went back too late to the park to get the flower, it is dark and the guard tells me I cannot go in until morning.

I think I will restart the game and get the flower earlier in the game.  Hopefully this will work and my game will not freeze.

You aren't too late.  He's a guard, he's supposed to say that.  And (as in every game I've ever played) you're supposed to bribe him.  ;)
He says he'll take some hot chocolate so:
Spoiler
Interact with the hose in your back yard and use the mug you picked up *somewhere* inside (I don't really remember exactly where) on the mud, then go in the kitchen and warm it in the microwave.
[close]
You should now be able to get into the park.  Then you can:
Spoiler
Use the axe on the log that's on the ground.
[close]
You don't need to chop any trees.  :)

Thanks it did work. :)

Now I have another problem.  I have the flower, the ink but I'm missing the water.  I have used my mug + mud for coffee so what do I use now to boil water.  Unless..... I can get the mug back from Bernie in the park. I'll go back and try it.

Thanks again for helping me.   :)

:'(Well that DID NOT work.  So much for my bright idea :-[
So now I need a container and water.  I went back to my house but could not find anything to use.

Do I have to use the beaker right now or can I go on with the game ???

Yes thank you, it did help but in school I'm supposed to get something from big desk other than toothpick right?

In the lab, how can I make the potion without water and bowl/container?

How do I get in church.  The dog will not take the steak (which I am sure that I have to give him) so what am I missing ?

And what about the panel?

I am totally stuck. :'(

The water had me confused too at first..

Spoiler
Go back home, check the bathroom.  Something absorbent.. that'll hold water... from the sink there...

Did you check the books in the library already?  You'll need something from one of them, a recipe.  Make sure you check the three desks there for the children that were in that first school room, if you haven't already.

That help you get a bit further?

Hope so too.  Thanks.  Stupid me I thought of the bathroom but did not go back.  Plus I've had the sponge since the beginning.  I will try it. and Yes I did get recipe that's how I knew I needed boiling water.  I hope I don't need a container for water on the beaker.  

Do you know how to get into church? :-\

When you say 'the screen doesn't scroll any further', where is the bridge on the screen? It should be around the middle, with the flower in the grass to the left - if not, it sounds like a bug   :-\

the crowbar is in one of the sheds (go right from the school to find sheds) You will have to find key first, not sure if you have this yet or not as I don't know what you have in your inventory.
