Did you get the bowl that was sitting on the stool in Melrin's house? Read the recipe for the animal transformation spell first.  Also, check out one of the barrells before you get to the ship area.   You almost have all the ingredients for the first spell.

Now I am stuck!  Any hints about the Invisible Spell?  I have been able to create the Metal to Ice spell twice.  I have used it on the mountain cage but have been unable to break the gate.

luutje,

Return to some areas such as where you first arrived on the island 2 or 3 times.  Also, look at some things like the pile of stones more than once.   One screen that is easy to miss is the one with the tar pit. It  is north of one of the paths.   You should soon have the ingredients needed for making the Metal to Ice spell.  Use it on the cage door.   The item needed to break the ice is found very close to where the egg was found.

luutje,
Spoiler
Put the egg and the stone into the bowl.  Then right click on the bowl.  A window opens and you can then click "create a spell".     Select Metal to Ice as the spell that you want to create. This should work.   Then you can use this on the cage gate.  Then go back to where you found the egg.   There will be something to break the ice with.

Now I am still stuck at getting past the troll.  Have not been able to create the Invisible spell.

i think we have to make the fruit spell first. because with a lemon you can read invisable ink. but where can i get a twine and a hemp

I had one rope(or twine) that I got on the harbor near the ship before coming to this island.        I found another rope when I returned to the area where the ship landed.   I have already made the Wood to Fruit spell which created a lemon.  The Jewelry Retriever Spell calls for a lemon peel which may be my problem of getting that spell to work.

luutjie,   about the invisible inkl:
Spoiler
after you get the "Wood to Fruit spell" worked out,   use the lemon on the spell book.  It will then make the recipe readable

seen easter egg. how did you figure that out??? but still no rope number 2
Title: Re: merlin 2
Post by: on Thu 29/07/2004 20:37:54
There are a few items in the inventory that do not get used....I never used that second rope that I found right by the water where the ship landed.      If you work on that "Wood to Fruit" spell,  then the "invisible spell" and then use it to pass the troll,  the game will soon be complete.

please give it to me  i have tried all items together but it can't make a spell

luutje,
Spoiler
For the Wood to Fruit spell:  put rope and wine into the bowl.  Right click on bowl and follow proceedure for creating the spell.       For the Invisible spell:  First, use lemon on the book.  Then click on the book and you will now be able to read the list of ingredients.   Stick feather into cabbage head.  Put the new head and the lemon peel into the bowl.  Follow proceedure for creating a spell.

i think i am stupid or something...where do i use the fruitspell on

Spoiler
If you put the rope and the wine into the bowl, then right click on bowl and follow proceedure for creating a spell,  a lemon will be added to your inventory.  Then you can use the lemon on the book.      I made some ommisiions in the the above hints that I gave.   You need to make the "Retrieving Jewels" spell before you can do the invisible spell.   It will make a crown that you stick on the cabbage head instead of the feather on the cabbage head.    Just check the list of ingredients in case I have forgotten anything else!

Sorry, but I forgot that the "fruitspell" will be used on the dry twig that is in your inventory..... this is what generates the lemon

Check out the stump again where the egg was
Title: Re: merlin 2
Post by: on Wed 04/08/2004 17:07:59
I tried that, everytime i look and click on the stump again he just gets another egg, and when he looks at it he still descibes it as a birds nest even though i already made that spell from the egg. Any ideas?
Title: Re: merlin 2
Post by: on Wed 04/08/2004 17:51:01
Artphreak,
   I tried one of my saved games and I was able to get the item that was in the stump.   I right clicked on it and it said "it's an old hollow stump".   Then i was able to click and got the item.

Hmmm, i don't know. I think it might be a bug, i reported it in the thread in completed game ann. I restarted several times and got the same result, maybe i will download it again.

I've noticed that I haven't been to active on this forum, since I've just noticed this thread about my game. I was before a bit surprised that everyone seemed to finish the game without asking me one single question about it. I thought that I maybe had made it to easy.

Congratulations cittymom for finding the easter egg. Just to save you the time I might just tell you that there is no easter egg in Melrin 1: The disciple ordeal so you can stop looking for one.

About the second rope.... You're not suppose to find that since it shouldn't exist. There is a rope where you step off the boat if (and it should be only if) you haven't picked it up at the docks before leaving. I had to put it there since you wouldn't be able to finish the game if you missed the first rope. The fact that you might have been able to find a second rope is a bug, but since it isn't serious (you just pick up another item that is never used) I've ignored it.

I've also been told about the bug that some of you have experianced about not finding the item that is used to break the ice. But I have not been able to reproduce this behaviour so I don't know how to fix it. The workaround however is to pick up a second egg. Leave and then return at once. The birds nest should now be gone and you may interact with the tree stump.

If you liked this game make sure to look out for Melrin 3: The dragon menace which I will release in a few weeks.

Cheers,

Joacim

Have you tried all the portals?
Spoiler
one should lead you to a room with a locked door - try it, then head back to the landing. The fairy should appear, with something that will help with the door!
