Title: Barahir's Adventure: Askar's Castle
Post by: Shadow1000 on Mon 28/12/2020 18:24:53
Spoiler
QuoteIIRC the manuscript was in one of the bookshelves, I just kept clicking around them. And workshop is the small locked door, not far away from the prison.

I am trying to
Spoiler
release the guy from the prison. I realize that not all hotspots have names or look different so I clicked like crazy on the books in the library to no avail. Does anyone have any more info?

As far as the small locked door, would that be the one in the library? Do I need to find the manuscript to open it or is there another way?

Ah, I remembered where I found manuscript.
Spoiler

Right near the prison there's a room with a skull, crossed bones and a shield, and the manuscript is in that skull's teeth.

Aha, got it.

Spoiler
when I give the cloak and manuscript to the prisoner he says he needs something more magical. I have no idea what that would be. I haven't been to the locked room next to the library. If whatever it is that I need is in there, can I have a hint to opening that door?

Does the branch and 3 pebbles serve any purpose?

I used the pebbles.
Spoiler
I threw them at the gate. Then a guard came out, and I rushed in to attack him, presumably with the branch.

@andy:

The Branch is your initial weapon when fighting a guard. Without the branch the damage from a guard is higher, hence you die easier/quicker. You can also find a knife (recieve less damage) and a sword (recieve lowest damage). The best weapon is used during a fight, and a weapon is automatically used during a fight.

The pebbles are, as heltenjon said, for throwing at the door/gate. That us the second way to get in the castle. The other way is knocking on the door. When using the pebbles, a guard comes out, when knocking you run i to the guard in the hallway of the castle.
