Title: Loftus and the Sky Cap
Post by: Storygamer on Thu 20/11/2008 21:01:01
Interesting game so far.  Obviously I'm stuck, since I'm posting this thread ;)

Spoiler
I've got the mug, key, blueprints, broom and basket of chickens.  Talking to Alfonso reveals that he's looking for something he's lost, but apparently I am unable to ask him what it is.  From the in-game hints it's clear I need to find this item to get him to help me with reading, but I have no idea what it is or where to look for it.  I've searched Loftus' place, the crossroads, forest, main street of town, castle drawbridge area and alley to no avail.

Thanks!  But now I'm stuck trying to figure out
Spoiler
How to get the monster to go into the magic shop.  Inessa always tells Bridget to wait outside when I try.

To get the monsters attention:
Spoiler
Talk to her about magic and show her the fairy dust
[close]

To get that:
Spoiler
Make sure Herman isn't paying attention.

Problem with that:
Spoiler
My inventory doesn't show the fairy dust even though I collected it and can use it to buy clues in my objectives. All I can do is ask Bridget about magic but can't show her the fairy dust

Are you sure you're talking about the Fairy dust and not the Star dust?

Spoiler
The fairy dust can be found in the cabinet next to Herman

I'm lost here too. With all I've read so, I done the followings:
Spoiler
Use the rock on bump pipe which I got blue item, not sure what this is. Look at moat, but there some here for alfonso.
[close]

Anything else I'm missing?

well I can't get the monster in the magic store to talk about the fairy dust. Im really stuck how can I get her into the store.
Title: Re: Loftus and the Sky Cap

First:
Spoiler
Talk to Bridget outside the shop about the magic and ask her to wait.
[close]

Then:
Spoiler
Wait for Herman to be busy with the yo-yo thus not paying attention so you can take the fairydust from the shelf (not the star-dust)
[close]

Finally:
Spoiler
Use the fairy dust on Bridget outside to get an idea how to use it all
[close]

That should result in the item you're looking for.

I've got the mug, blueprints, broom, and basket. How do I get her friend to teach her how to read?
Title: Re: Loftus and the Sky Cap
Post by: Leon on Sat 06/06/2009 08:53:41
To learn how to read...
Spoiler
... return to the alley where you found the broom. There's something strange with the pipe.
[close]
To solve that...
Spoiler
...use the broom on the pipe to get an AWR device
[close]
You still can't read...
Spoiler
...so bring the device to Alfonso. He can teach you.
[close]

That wouldn't work. What I had to do was:

Spoiler
Use a rock I found in the woods and throw it at the bump in the pipe
[close]

Uh oh, did I mess up by not taking the underpants before I got the chickens?
Title: Re: Loftus and the Sky Cap
Post by: Leon on Sun 07/06/2009 12:40:34
Nope, you can take it afterwards. What's in your inventory at the moment?
Title: Re: Loftus and the Sky Cap
Post by: CosmoQueen on Sun 07/06/2009 20:23:18
I have a mug, key, blueprints, broom, rock, AWR, string, basket, feathers, empty satchel, and cauldron.
Title: Re: Loftus and the Sky Cap
Post by: Leon on Sun 07/06/2009 23:02:46
So, then you should be able to ...
Spoiler
...enter the forest again. Walk into the cave and take Bridget’s underpants.
