No, but it the most convenient way of getting off the ship. Or should be.

Click the hand on it. For some reason this doesn't work in all rooms, that is likely a bug.
Ive not played KQ3 before, so this remake is completely new to me, so......

how do you get down the mountain path ? I fall off whenever i try to walk around the rock.
Thanks.
You don't need to go around the rock.

Spoiler
Turn into an eagle and fly over him, or rub the magic stone until you appear on the beach.
Hmm, I think I reached some time limit and now the sorcerer constantly appears and zaps me to oblivion for carrying "hot" items. Does this mean I have to go backwards or is there some way to skip this?
regarding the cat fur
what rooms does it work in?? I am fairly confident that I have tried in every room.. in two rooms there is no effect .. clicking the hand does nothing, and in the rest I just get a 'he is too quick for you, why would you want to do it anyways' I figured there was a change in the game and maybe you had to get cat fur from somewhere else.
I am flummoxed.. any help here would be great

I caught the cat just by the front door (inside) He was sitting in front of the open door straight ahead of you.
The Mountain Path

you have to tread really carefully and keep his feet on the path.
The Sorcerer

You have to put the magic stuff under your bed. Also if you go into a certain room he tells you he is going on a journey, which gives you more time

Ok guys i need some help here - or is it a bug ?
Spoiler
I went 'home' after a while - so the soucerar doesnt appear and get me, and hid all my red items, and started cleaning (im assuming this is how you stop him appearing every now and then to kill you ?!) and he said id discovered the 'magic' and killed me, even though i had no 'bad' items on me, and the trap door had been re covered.......?

How do I escape the pirate ship? I have already escaped the hold and got my stuff and a shovel but now what?
Johny_s, how about a little bit of give and take in the hints and tips......ypu've obvioulsy got past the bit im stuck at...... ;)
Spoiler
bbc- you need to enter the screen with medusa and turn eastwards before she enters the scene. If you are facing east when she enters you are safe for the time being and have enough time to use the mirror
cutie- i had the same problem and honestly I simply used earlier saves( if you know what to do the whole scenario is very easy and you can even restart the game).

I have spiced the porridge up with the "turn someone into a cat"-cookie making it blue, as in magic item Manannan should not respond to. The trap door is closed. What else?

Make sure the wizard's wand is in the cupboard. In the original game, he'd specifically say that he'd kill you since his wand is missing; in the remake he just has a generic killing message.

Thanks for that Radient! They really should point that out somewhere in the game, as i dont know how we were supposed to work it out if a/ we havent played the original or b/ he doesnt tell us why he keeps killing us! ;D

I got one bowl from the kitchen and it wont let me use it, and i cant find a spoon anywhere.....

There is only one bowl, so if you have it from the kitchen then you have the right one! Look to the back of the kitchen, there is a knife and spoon on the wall! (the spoon is called a ladel, but a ladel is just another kind of spoon so it will work!
if it is still not working, then you must be missing something else!
Are there dead ends in this game ? Because
Spoiler
Ive made the cookie porridge and have been walking around the house, for seriously, about 20mins waiting for Manannan to appear so i can give it him, and he wont appear. I was asked earlier in the game to feed him, and i gave him meat. Was that the only chance i got to give him food ? Why wont he appear now ?
Please help......
I'm a tad confused............I've managed to make a spell, but when I leave the house the two guys keep trying to attack me - how do you get rid of them?
Jane;
Spoiler
Theres a magic map that you can find inside the house so that you dont have to keep walking down the path for the robbers to get you, and instead can teleport to where you want to go.
Thanks cutie, I'm now really stuck on trying to buy things from the shop - where do I get money from?

Has anyone managed to finish the game? Mine crashes when
Spoiler
I brew the storm, I get the text saying the dragon is dead and then the game quits with an AGS scripting error... is there any workaround for this?
Nevermind... sorted out.
Spoiler
I was using the storm on myself, fixed when I used it on the dragon
I need to make the storm spell - where do I find the brazier to light?
I have quite a problem, I only have about 55 points and I can no longer save my games. It seems I must have used up all the slots. How do I delete some of the exsisting saved games or save over the others??? Anyone else have this dilema?
TheWalrus
Goo, goo, ga, joob!!!
I think you can just delete the savegames in the game directory (or better copy them to another directory in case you want to use them again ...)
my problem:
Where the hell is that stupid wand??? I thought it was with manannan when he was sleeping (that's how it was in KQ5, wasn't it?) but it is not ... I have all ingredients for the understanding the animal language and some other spell and now I only need that wand, I guess ...
ThanksÃ, :)
edit: nevermind, I got it ..
and now I have almost every spell except for the teleportation and am wondering when Manannan will wake up and be hungry ...Ã, ::)
but if I do wake him up and wonder around a bit he sometimes appears and kills me, although I am not carrying anything red or even blue, seems like a dead end of some sort .. did anyone else experience this?
And how do I get him to be hungry again?
(When I go to town and stay too long he also kills me, but when I'm in the house he just won't wake up)
Please please someone help with the brew spell - where do I find the brazier to light?
As to the save games I had the same problem - the only way I could sort this was to save over exisiting saves - a bit of a confusion though as it didn't allow me to change name of saved game :-\
Mr. Mozzarella ............You have to be patient, I had to wait ages, maybe 5/10minutes for him to wake up or get hungry, are you still carrying the wand? As you have to put that back otherwise he will kill you.
I am on the pirate ship. I already have my stuff back and a shovel and right now I don't know what I am suppose to do. In a old walkthrough I found for KQ3 EGA I am suppose to stay in cabin and wait until the pirates has reached the land. Well I have waited and waited and waited...and waited. Still nothing happens. So what am I suppose to do then to escape from the pirate ship?

yes, you have to wait ... and when someone shouts, you should go up ... but how you ultimately reach land, I haven't figured out yet .. just notice that Alexander obviously can swim better in KQ3 than in KQ6 ;)
à  can't find the little feather to complete one of the spells.
Can anyone tell me where to find this little feather ???
I continued the game without the spell with the little feather and are now standing before the locked gate of a big castle witch i cannnot open. Is this because of the missing spell?
If yes i have to restart the game after killing Mannanan :-[
Thanks Ã, in advance.
**edit** Never mind. I finished the game. Without the little feather and the spell made of it. I suppose i have to get the little feather from the chickens. But i can't catch one :(

the feather is needed for the language spell, isn't it? I am not sure (didn't pplay the original) but it could be that you can survive without having it ... only you will then miss some nice conversations ... but you could have got it from an animal that has feathers (and there were some around your house ;) )
@AGS user (and everybody else):
I now managed to leave the sea but then I have to face this kind of problem
Screenshot may contain spoiler (http://bluewinter.kilu3.de/other/swim.jpg)

I also tried flying away, but after landing I have the swimming animation again
and shortly after:
(http://bluewinter.kilu3.de/other/error.jpg)
Can anybody of those who are already past the escaping from sea point tell me how to deal with this situation? For the moment of teleporting, I have the normal standing walkcycle, but then it changes to this stupid swimming thing ...
I managed to ignore the bugs in the game until now, but this is now really destroying the funÃ, >:(
Thanks Mr.Mozzarella for your reply. (I edited my post at the same time you post your reply i think).
Spoiler
To leave the ship just jump of the ship and start swimming to shore. You must find the right route to reach land. Just try a few times. It worked for me.
And yes. There are numerous bugs in the game. Sometimes when not beeing able to move using the map is helping.
yes, I finally made it out of the sea (somehow my problems always solve themselves the minute after I post them)
for everyone else encountering the swimming problem I described above:
Spoiler
The stone teleports you RANDOMLY, so try until you "randomly" are teleported to the beach in the same screen that has the ship and shark in it. at least it worked for me - I had the walk cycle then again
and against all my good intentions I just finished the game ... but I will play again, when the voice pack is out, of course. I also just got about 190 points, and I still don't know what to do with the shovel, the fly wings, the sleeping spell ... (and probably some other things as well ...) so I just have to try a bit, I guess
I was a bit disappointed the game was so short, but I guess that all these early games weren't much longer. Unfortunately I never played the originals, but AGDIs KQ1 was not very long either. The oldest original KQ I played was number 5 and this was already a bit longer ...
so, apart from the non-walkable-area bugs and some other things I enjoyed it :) (what about opening a thread just for funny screenshots from this game? ;) after all, we won't see them anymore should a new version be released)
It's always a bit sad to see how fast you can play through a game that took months and years to be made ...
Phew after battling through the bugs I finally finished it! ;D

How many times am I suppose to wait until I hear someone shouting?
20 minutes or 30 mintues?
The time is 1:38 when I last played the game.
Where's the stone? I assume it's just on the ground on some screen. What screen is it on? It's for the teleport spell.
Hey, I also have the porridge laced with "cat spell". Mananan went on a journey for the second time. Any idea how long his second journey is? I'm tired of waiting for him to ask for food.

well, I think I had to wait for about 10 or 15 minutes ... maybe you first have to complete other actions on the ship ... have you got your possessions back and did you look into every room? (I think there are two or three rooms that you really can't do anything in, but you can have a look...)
Edit: And I think you have to wait in the cargo.

Spoiler
it is not on the ground (but I also thought that at first and touched every stone on every screen ...) someone will give it to you ... ever wondered what is inside the cave with the web?
about the journey: I don't know whether there's a rule about how long Mannannan stays away, but in my case it took 20 or 30 minutes I think. It would make sense to have a rule here, because then you could look at your timer and try to be back before Manannan returns from a journey. The good thing is that you don't even have to wait in front of the computer, as you will hear when he returnsÃ, ;)
I also have no idea, how many times Manannan goes on a Journey. For me there were only two Journeys, and one sleep in between, but after a sleep he isn't hungry so I was waiting quite some time until he was hungry again ..
I also had something buggy with the second journey. He returned, asked for food, I went to the kitchen, he was sitting there. Then he disappeared from the table and reappeared at the left screen exit, again asking for food. He disappeared and didn't appear at the table. Only when I left the room and returned, he was sitting there again (luckily ...) So don't be surprised if that happens.
I am just wondering what all the easter eggs are? And how do I find the scene with Mordack in it?
Spoiler
Re waiting on the ship - not sure if this helps but nothing happened until I saw the cook, listened to rats, ran from sailor, interracted with lifeboat and tried to untie rope etc. After I had explored all ship and got my possesions back then I only had to stand around in the hold for a couple of minutes before they shouted. [\hide]
Great game despite the bugs, but I did find waiting such long times frustrating

The brazier is right there in the lab. However, you must make the storm spell last - it requires an empty jar that (because of a bug) is only generated by another spell.

He should journey as many times as you need him to, but eventually you will run out of food and he'll get angry and do one of his punishments, and if you get too many of those, you die.
Oh and the shovel is for treasure digging, which near as I can tell is a pixel hunt (after you've been told where the treasure is, of course).

This is sure a big minus for this great game. I don't have time to wait to do something. They really had to torture us with those times bullshit.
Give it up guys it is 2006 so when you are going to fix this remove that time please. It is just a waste of time having that crap in the game. >:(
QuoteOh and the shovel is for treasure digging, which near as I can tell is a pixel hunt (after you've been told where the treasure is, of course).
I believe the treasure is still 5 paces east of the palm tree. At least, I found it without much trouble.
The funny part is that you can dig multiple times in the same spot and get a treasure chest each time ;)

Also, I have not met any cook (although I was in the kitchen, but it was empty)
pirates come and go, they are very busy

sometimes you find a pirate or the captain or guybrush, sometimes you don't. To escape from the shark: Do not use the storm brew, you will need it later in the game! Jump over board and swim. Due to a bug, I was not able to fly. You could also try the teleportation spell, but I gave up after rubbing dozens of times. Treasure: listen to the mice (or rats)

QuoteBut how do you get past that pesky spider web
Dip the eagle feather on flying spell bottle
i put all the items under the bed (after coming back from the town etc.).
how do i now take out only certain items, like the fruit which i want to give to manannan?
You can't do that. :-\ When you search under your bed after you have stored all of your magic and unmagic stuff and you want to take one item back and store it in your inventory, you will then take all of the items you have gained and it will be back into your inventory. I know that is a bummer.
BTW I never gave Mannanan a real food like fruit or bread because I was so quick to gain every stuff to make the "poisoned supper" for him. But because of that I had to waste my real time to wait in 30 minutes in the pirate's ship so someone of the pirates could yell out: "Land ho!" ::)
i cant play the game for getting killed. every time i turn around always getting killed . i liked the other kings quest better
Spoiler
When you are close to the bed, you can switch the cursor to a blue arrow. With the help of the arrow you can store all magical items, all other items will still be in your inventory.
@Mordalles:
Yes, you have to store your things with the blue arrow, not with the hand (I think if you have nothing under your bed and click the hand on it you store everything, also non magical things there, atleast this happened for me once).
@pattica: Sorry, but what exactly is your problem?

at first I thought you meant the mountain path leading down from Mannanans house .. please be a bit more specific next time
don't go around it, try climbing up the waterfall ;)
Thanks. Manamanams path hasnt got a waterful falling down it though, so surely spacific enough ? ;)
Im almost done, bare with me! How do you walk along the path in the dragons cave ?
Everytime i get to that corner section where you go half behind the wall, i fall off, and i cant see clearly enough to see which way youre suppose to walk ?

with difficulty, or you could try using your map although you will lose it, but hey ho you at least get a chance to defeat the old dragon :D [\hide]
Seriously, im not kiding im about to give up after my 20th atempt!
When you get to the part in the cave where youve walked to the left of the screen and start to disapear behind a wall, but you can see the path start again going off to the right, where on earth do you click without falling off ?! I just cant see where to do it, and have tried several places! Its taking all the fun out of it.

not completely. There is a small waterfall in Llewdor (near the swamp) and when you look at it, it says something like "This is the mountain you are living on" ... that confused me at first, (because this was also the path where you fall down quite at the beginning) because you could not see the waterfall in the screen with the path ..
but anyway, it's not your fault that I had this association ;) had I not looked at that waterfall and had not read the message, I would not have been confused
well, I didn't walk up that path (which is probably one reason why I got so few points) but I clicked on my map .. for some reason, it was highlighted .. and I ended up at the platform that you also know from KQ1 ... and I saw the cave and thought of the path there, but I didn't know you could walk it up ...
If this is a thing used in the original versions of KQ1 and 3, Roberta was a bit repetitive ??? ...
so, just try the map .. good luck :)

It took me ages to find it. I just wandered around the screens below and to either side of the medusa after I turned her to stone. Eventually I found it, but I couldn't give you exact directions.
i found a life snake now how do i get it's skin?
Quotei found a life snake now how do i get it's skin?
It'd probably be better if you found some dead skin. There should be some lying around there somewhere, you just have to look for it.
i cannot seem to find the dead skin I have look beow medusa to the left amd right where is it? I am going crazy trying to find it.

open book, switch through cursors until you get the "cast" cursor and then use it on the correct symbol. The eye icon explains the spell. Nothing to mix, nothing to recite, just one click.

Is there another way to kill Mahannan
Have you read the spell regarding transformation into a cat?
You have to do that first before you can actually pick up the cat.
And no, there's no other way to eliminate Manannan.

I am on the pirate ship. I already have my stuff back and a shovel and right now I don't know what I am suppose to do. In a old walkthrough I found for KQ3 EGA I am suppose to stay in cabin and wait until the pirates has reached the land. Well I have waited and waited and waited...and waited. Still nothing happens. So what am I suppose to do then to escape from the pirate ship?
Spoiler
yes, you have to wait ... and when someone shouts, you should go up ... but how you ultimately reach land, I haven't figured out yet .. just notice that Alexander obviously can swim better in KQ3 than in KQ6 ;)
I wait and wait but no one shouts......boring ...waiting....noting happens
i mad ethe poridge and have waited for ever for the wizard to show up to give it to him when does he come back? I have cleane every way a least once.
Is there a limit of time for playing the game? Because I am waiting and waiting and nothing happens. I am in the pirate ship and have my things back and the shovel and now I am waiting and waiting and nothing happens.

This is a question about the KQ3+ game that came out a couple of years ago, not IA's KQ3VGA.
After playing IA's KQ3VGA, I went back and played KQ3+. Ã, I especially liked the expanded cutscene in KQ3VGA where Alexander enters the oracle cave, so I went to the same spot in KQ3+ and tried to enter the oracle cave. Ã, When I dipped the eagle's feather in the rose essence, Alexander turns into an eagle, but he does not attack the spider. Ã, After turning back into a human, I get the message, "Unfortunately, even an eagle is no match for a spider this size." Ã, This only works with the beta-6 version.
Is it possible to defeat the spider in the beta-6 version? Ã, Is there another way to defeat the spider? Ã, Is the cutscene for the oracle cave working in any of the beta versions? Ã, If I know the room number for the inside of the oracle cave, can I teleport to the inside of the cave and see the cutscene without defeating the spider? Ã, (This actually works with one of the early versions of KQ3.) Ã, Does anyone know the room number for the inside of the oracle cave in KQ3+?
EDIT: By trial and error, I determined that the inside of the oracle cave is room number 39. However, when I teleport to the oracle cave in KQ3+ and try to talk to the oracle, I get the message "The Oracle appears to be in a deep state of meditation. You are not heard." However, there is an object in the oracle cave that I can take (not the amber stone).
In the early part of the game, you talk to the oracle in Mannanan's bedroom, so perhaps there is no need to talk to the oracle in the cave.

I can't make any spell. I have all ingredients but can't put anything into any container or mix anything. E.g I pick small fither and drag it to bowl but it dowsn't work.

Open the book, then right mouse click until you get a 'Cast' icon. Press it over the spell, and if you have the correct ingredients you will make the spell, otherwise, you die.

Hey guys!
How can I show the mirrior to Medusa? I stand face away while she approaches but I always get frozen by her looks ;(
I have read the postings here and no one seems to have had the same problem I have been dealing with. I have been in the lab, read the spell book, gotten rid of M. (for the time being), collected everything possible (I now have 38 points) but I can't go back up the stairs because of the cat. Any clues
would be appreciated.

And about the ship: Unfortunately, you have to wait for hours, but when you are close to the shore, you only have seconds to react. Save every 30 minutes and do something else during the waiting time. And when you missed the moment of landing (I waited for about two hours), go back to the last save and stare on the monitor and wait until somebody shouts "land hoo". Also in the original game, the travel on the ship took a long time, only that you could accelerate the timers (game speed). And I also missed the function of the map on the ocean which indicated in Sierras game when you were close to the shore.

Spoiler
if you still didn't find the way out: if you are at the top left cave entrance, enter it and you will find yourself on the top right entrance. Use the walk icon to climb the rocky wall and go left and then down to the entrance in the middle. You should end up a bit right of the entrance. And save very often, Gwydion is not a good mountain climber. The entrance in the middle leads to the lower left entrance. From there, use the walk icon to climb the wall and go to the entrance in the lower middle. This entrance leads to the one at the lower right and to the path.
Spoiler
Hey all. What am I supposed to do with the fly wings? There is one walkthrough I read where I'm supposed to use them to listen to the bandits inside their hideout but the closest I can get is flying up the tree trunk but not into the hideout itself.
Thank you!
When can I prepare the spells?
Spoiler
I have everything I need except the stone. I have the wand. When I go down into the dungeon and try to cut the cactus, it says "No"; if I use the cactus on the knife, it says "You can't do that yet."
Do I have to collect all of the ingredients before I can prepare the spells, or do I have to wait for Manannan to be doing something in particular? At the moment, he is sleeping.
Thanks.

When can I prepare the spells?
I've found out how to do this. To answer my own question, in case it helps anyone else:
Spoiler
Once you have all the ingredients for a spell, you need only make sure they are in your inventory (and not under the bed) and then click on the spell in the book with the "CAST" cursor. You don't actually need to carry out the actions described in the spell.
Actually, scrap that.
Spoiler
Every time I cast a spell in the dungeon, it works on me and I die. So that's not the way to do it.
Spoiler
I can't prepare the spells in the dungeon, in the house, outside, or at the bottom of the mountain, and if I cast them in the dungeon, they act on me and I die.
So how do you prepare the spells? Could someone please help me with this?
Hm, I see that this has been answered at the top of the page. However,
Spoiler
even though I have all the ingredients, when I cast the spell, it happens to me and I die.
Have you also got the right utensils to cast the spell properly? (eg, spoon, jar, bowl, etc, depending on what you are casting)
Yes, I've got everything except for one item for one spell, and I'm not trying to cast that one. Perhaps I need to be carrying just the items I need for the particular spell I am casting - is that the case? I'm going to try that.
QuotePerhaps I need to be carrying just the items I need for the particular spell I am casting - is that the case? I'm going to try that.
No, you shouldn't need to do that. Have you gotten the second release of the game (that is, the bugfixed version that was released with the voicepack?) Also, which spell are you trying to cast, and what inventory items do you have just before you cast that spell?
Thanks for looking into this, Fizzii.
So, I have:
Spoiler
From kitchen: bowl, knife, fruit, meat (I ate the bread for some reason);
Items for spell: cat fur, dog fur, snake skin, fish powder, thimble of dew, feather, fly's wings, salt, rose-petal essence, mistletoe, nightshade juice, acorns, pouch, mandrake root powder, fishy-smelling stuff in jar, porridge, cup of ocean water, spoon of swamp mud, toadstool powder, saffron, toad spittle, lard, piece of cactus.
Also: key, wand, mirror, four gold coins, magic map.
In short, everything needed for the spells except for the stone.
At the moment, Manannan is sleeping.
Spoiler
I go down to the dungeon and interact at the book. I have all the above items with me. For example, if I click "cast" on the "understanding the language of animals" spell, for which I need the feather, bowl, dog fur, snake skin, fish bone. Gwydion says "Oh no!" and grows huge ears and his head turns to blood. "You're all ears now, Gwydion!" says the game, and that's the end.
The game executable is timestampted 20 August 2006. I downloaded it this week or last week, and there is a music.vox file in the directory. There doesn't seem to be a voice pack though as I don't hear text spoken.
Thanks.
Another necessary tool, not an ingredient is
Spoiler
the wand. did you get it from the cabinet in the office? Also, when you are finished with your spells or some of them, put the wand back into the cabinet. And close the trap door.
Yes, I have that.
Spoiler
I would put everything back when I have finished if I weren't dying, but I don't get a chance...
Perhaps the wand shouldn't go under the bed?
paolo
Spoiler
I think I put the wand back into the cabinet. Also, I waited until Manannan went to town, which gives about 25 minutes time to fetch necessery items and prepare the spells.

Is that the eagle feather? The game says a small feather so you'd need
Spoiler
a chicken feather
OK, that makes sense.
Spoiler
However I can't even put the saffron in the essence: it says "You can't do that now." I tried it in the dungeon and outside the house. Presumably I need to be somewhere in particular to do that.
Also
Spoiler
how do I get the chicken feather? The chickens run away if I try to catch them, even when they are eating.
Spoiler
For the storm spell, I need to put the cup of water in the bowl, but again, it says that I can't do that (in the dungeon). If I cast the spell, it starts to rain in the dungeon and I'm killed by lightning.
So I still don't get when and where I can cast the spells. This is very frustrating.
Hello
Spoiler
How do I get a magic wand?
paolo - You cast the spell by looking at the spellbook in the lab, then clicking cast on the spell you want, and whether you have the right components or not, you will either get the spell or die. You can't actually manually combine ingredients like in kq6, which I think was a pity, but other people like it like this.
About the feather -
Spoiler
try walking nearer to them while they eat. Keep trying and it should work.
With storm brew -
Spoiler
You need an empty jar. You can only get an empty jar after casting the becoming invisible spell. And I hope you've got swamp mud on the spoon

If the wizard has gone, you have around 30 minutes to explore the countryside and obtain ingredients for the other spells. But you have to be back at the house before then, and everything useful for magic must be hidden away and the wand must be returned to its original place. One of the spells is particularly useful for getting rid of Manannan.
You say countryside, but,

What rock are you talking about? The one guarded by the big spider? (I can't think of any other rock) If it is the one with the spider, you need to use one of your spells.

It looks like even if you have all the right ingredients, the spell sometimes goes wrong. You just have to keep restoring the game and trying again.
Spoiler
OK, so I have a "transform another into a cat" spell, but always seem to die when I try to cast another spell.
So what can I do with that?
Spoiler
Can you only cast one spell at a time?
Thanks.
paolo
Spoiler
I had "understand the language of animals" first
Transform into a cat -> hide in porridge. It is rather obvious where to use it. Get rid of Manannan!
Fly like an eagle (or fly) works in a few places only
Teleport, works everywhere
Sleeping powder, only later in the game, after you have left Llewdor
Storm brew and invisibility, works only at the end of the game, last puzzle
BTW: This remake is very similar to Sierras original gameplay, except for a few details and timers
Thanks, sthomannch, that is coming in handy.
Spoiler
Now, I have prepared the porridge, but Manannan has decided to go on another of his journeys, and there was a cutscene. Does him getting hungry again depend on me having the porridge ready, or does he just say that randomly? I hope I don't have to potter about the house for ages waiting for him to come back and get hungry.
Thanks.
paolo
Spoiler
You cannot influence him, so you have to wait until he comes back from the journey. Could as well be that he wants to sleep afterwards. When I played, I had to give him the mutton chop for dinner, because the porridge was not ready and then I had to do other things until the wizard was hungry again. No problem, but you cannot accelerate anything.
I've got to be honest, I'm findingÃ, this game incredibly frustrating.
Spoiler
I've been killed like seven times and I just started the game. I can't do anything without the Wizard zapping me. He says I've discovered the secrets of the old magics, but that was never even explained. The generic kill message says I shouldn't let him know what I'm up to, but I fail to see how walking around in the yard should get me killed. As far as I can tell, there's nothing telling me what I should do next. Is the whole game like this? Is it even playable if you don't know the original?
Ivy -
Spoiler
Have you got any inventory items that could be used for magic, or taken anything that belongs to the wizard? eg, fly wings, cat fur, or anything else denoted by a red hotspot in the inventory? If you do and he catches you with them, you will die.
Basic aim so far is to try and create as many spells as you can in order to be free from Manannan. The game is playable, but probably trickier if you haven't played the original as there aren't too many hints and a lot of the game is exploring and picking up stuff.
Spoiler
All I've got is a chicken feather. I can't even get into the house. If the rest of the game is going to be random clicking with no hints as to what comes next, I might just save myself some trouble and stop now. :P
Ivy,
You need to read the manual (Manual.pdf in the game installation). This explains that you get killed if you have magic items on you, how to identify magic items in your inventory, and how to hide them from the wizard.
I know, I kept getting killed for exactly the same reason and couldn't work out why. It was very annoying, but things become a lot clearer once I'd read the manual.
I think this game really should suggest that you read the manual if you answer "no" to the question "Have you played this game before?" that comes up at the start, or say somewhere else in big letters "IMPORTANT: READ THE MANUAL BEFORE STARTING TO PLAY THIS GAME" (like above the download link or something).
Ivy,
To get into the house, use the hand icon on the front door. No doubt you know that already - if you mean you get killed before you can even reach the front door, then you'll just have to use an earlier saved game or start again, and then do what I suggest in my post above. Sorry.
Spoiler
Thanks paolo, I'll check out the manual maybe. I'm still shaking my head that pulling a feather off of a chicken and trying to walk into a house gets me killed in this game, but I suppose it's a Sierra thing. :)

Spoiler
Yes, it's because the chicken feather counts as a magic item. It will make more sense when you read the manual.
Once you know how to avoid getting killed (and there are many other ways you can die or get into trouble in this game with no way of going back other than restoring a saved game, alas) the game becomes more fun. Save early and often!
This may sound stupid, but I'm on the island, I've got the treasure, and I'm trying to climb the mountain. How the hell do I do it? I've got to a boulder which separates two parts of the trail, how do I get past it? I remember the original made you climb it. I've tried everything I can think of and wherever I click, "Gwydion" seems to walk back the other way.
Help!
Spoiler
Where do I find the stone for the teleportation spell? Do I have to wait until I've got rid of Manannan before I can find it?
The Stone:
[hint]Is there a cave that you have seen somewhere in Llewdor?[/hint]
Still stuck?
[hint]Perhaps you need to get rid of the spider somehow...[/hint]
STILL stuck?
[hint]A spell might do the trick[/hint]
Thanks. I haven't got that far yet.
By the way, it's [*hide] [*/hide] (without the *s) rather than [hint] [/hint].
I'll just get on with the dusting and chamberpot-emptying for now.
Fantastic, I've just managed to cast a whole load of spells!
Spoiler
I hadn't been to look at the spider's cave. Presumably there are things you need to find out about before you can cast the spells that help you with those things.
Let's hope I can hide them all now before Manannan comes back! :)
Yay, I've got rid of Manannan and I'm away!
Well, I was doing quite nicely until
Spoiler
I tried to cast the teleportation spell. I got killed because I didn't have a spoon. The spoon had swamp mud in it for the storm spell, and after I'd cast that I didn't have a spoon any more.
Does that mean you have to cast the teleportation spell before you collect the swamp mud? I hope not, because I'll have to go back a long way to get back to before I picked up the mud.
Does that also mean that you should only cast spells as and when you need them, rather than just casting them all in one go?
Or perhaps I don't have the right stone. I have the amber stone that the oracle gave me. Is that not the right one?
Thanks.
paolo
Spoiler
strange, because for teleportation you do not need the mud. Only the amber stone from the oracle, wand etc and cast the spell. I used this spell many times. The mud is only for the preparation of the storm spell and you need it only when you are close to the end of the game. Do not waste it...

That's right, but
Spoiler
I had a spoon with mud in it and used it to cast the storm spell. I then went to cast the teleportation spell, which I wasn't able to cast earlier because I didn't have the stone, but the spoon was no longer in my inventory.
Presumably I need to cast the teleportation spell first, which uses the spoon for salt and then, I would imagine, leaves it free for collecting swamp mud for the storm spell.
As it stands, it looks like I'm going to have to go back to a very old save game before I collected the swamp mud, losing 100+ points and a several hours of gameplay, or even start all over again as I have reused many of the save slots. :( If I have to do that, at least I'll know what I need to do this time round and hopefully it won't take me too long to get back to where I am now.
I hope this is a bug rather than deliberate. If it is deliberate, it makes this game extremely unfair, in that an action you take early on can lead you to an unavoidable dead end much further down the line. I don't know if the Sierra games worked that way, and I appreciate that this is a remake of a Sierra game, but isn't there an unwritten principle that games made with AGS should be fair to the player?
It might be a bug... it is a bit strange that you lose the spoon after casting the storm spell even though it was just the mud that was used. Maybe try asking at IA to confirm (http://www.infamous-adventures.com/forum)
Though you can play the game without casting that spell (on the other hand, you miss out on a cool ending if you don't get full points)
Athirwen - don't follow the path to the left side of the rock. When you're at the bottom of the rock (on the lower part of the path), just try walking upwards onto the rock, and Gwydion should climb up.
Thanks, Fizzii. I've posted a message to Infamous Adventures... let's see what they say.
Spoiler
I'll go back to before I cast the storm spell and see if I can cast the teleportation spell even though the spoon has swamp mud in it. If not, I'm going to have to go back to near the beginning of the game or start again.
Spoiler
I went back to before I had cast the storm spell, and continued from there. Despite there being mud in the spoon, I managed to cast the teleportation spell successfully, and I still had the spoon of swamp mud. I could then cast the storm spell without any problems.
Looks like I did find a bug, then.
I got a reply from the IA boards:
"I might be wrong but i dont remember that the teleport spell required the spoon. Though is [
sic] says one spoonful of salt, all you need is the salt, the mistletoe, the amber rock and the wand.
"Try it out."
Well, it didn't work for me. Maybe I was doing something else wrong.
Anyway I'm now
Spoiler
puzzling out how to get on to the pirate ship.
QuoteWell, it didn't work for me. Maybe I was doing something else wrong.
Maybe. I just played through the spells, and even though you do lose the spoon when casting the storm spell (which is a bit unrealistic, granted), I could still cast the teleportation spell without any problem despite not having a spoon.

I'm trying to get off the pirate ship. I have my things back and they've dropped anchor. I've tried the various things mentioned above but they don't seem to work:
* Teleport - just gets you into trouble because you can end up with the cook, and there's no escape from him.
* Jumping overboard - I take it this means from the stern of the ship, as there doesn't seem to be anywhere else. Well, the shark is still there, and if I click on the water, it says that it's unsafe. I tried feeding the shark, but that didn't do anything.
* Looking at the map - I can see the beach, but don't seem to be able to get to it using the map.
If you hang around for too long, the ship sets sail again and you're doomed to being a cabin boy for ever.
So how *do* I get off the ship?

as soon as you hear "land hoo", use the sleeping powder. Remember, it must be a dank place, so wait in the storage room. You also have to overhear the conversation of the mice about the treasure. The sea travel is a bit lengthy and you can miss important things just by bad luck. I had to wait for hours and repeat until it worked out for me (I played KQ3 from Sierra before, so I knew about the important bits)
Thanks, sthomannch, but that didn't quite work.
Spoiler
I'd heard "land ho!" (and "weigh the anchor", for that matter) and heard what the mice said about the treasure. I then used the sleeping powder and everyone went to sleep.
Using the stone just teleported me around the ship, even when I was on the stern. After a few teleports, the ship set sail again, even though everyone was supposed to be asleep! I thought the sleep was supposed to be eternal?

Spoiler
the sleep should be terminal. Only the pirate in the crows nest stays awake, but all other pirates should be asleep. I actually swam to the shore in the remake. Something seems to be really wrong there.
OK, I've got it.
Spoiler
You have to jump overboard from the top deck of the ship by going to where you see the hole in the deck and then jumping off the far edge of the ship. You can't jump off the stern.

I'm stuck on the wooden walkway now. I'm near the end of it (towards the top of the screen) but it looks like there might be a gap in it, which I keep falling down. Of course, it's too dark to see clearly. I can't teleport my way out either.
Hm, no, there was no gap after all, but where I am now I can't even see where I am walking (behind the blue stalagmites at the top left). I'm now saving after every successful step I take.
Is there an easier way to get to the end of the walkway?
Spoiler
I tried flying and I wasn't allowed to do that either.
Aha, I've found
Spoiler
somewhere else I can go before I go into the cave. Maybe I'll find a torch or something.
Spoiler
the cave behind the mountains, after you fell down the ledge? I can't remember that I used a torch, but I also saved a lot when searching for the way up. The old EGA game is more forgiving and allows to use the right key on the keyboard to safely walk up the stairs. For the remake: Good luck...
Spoiler
It's the wooden walkway inside the cave in the mountains. When get near the back, there is a section that goes behind some stalagmites so you can't see where you are walking.
But for now I'm
Spoiler
trying to get into the castle. I would have thought I could transform into a fly and get in that way, but that doesn't work. Teleporting doesn't either.
Phew, I made it through in the end.
Spoiler
Once you are behind the stalagmites at the top left, you need to move westwards pretty much, until you go off the end of the screen, where you will end up on a fairly straight section along the top of the screen. There are two more screens after that, but the first screen is the hardest.
Turning the brightness on my monitor up to maximum also helped a little ;)
Hurray! I've finished it. 188 out of 210 - not bad.
Two questions regarding the same topic- the fly spell. I made it once successfully because I earned points and did not die, but I was unable to use it at the tavern. Why not?
Second- I am trying to make it again with the eagle feather but I keep dying because I don't have all the ingrediants (so it tells me.) The saffron was deleted from my inventory automatically after making this spell the first time, and when I try to pick it up again, it says I already have some. But I don't!

First question: I don't know. But you don't need it here.
Second question: Once you made the spell, you can use the eagle feather as well as the fly wings. You can't create this spell a second time.
