Once Upon a Time

Anybody made it through the triple maze in chapter 9?

Spoiler

I did, with the help of the luck stone.
1. I found not a single item here. Did anybody else?
2. Now I am in front of a decorated door. The close-up view shows a dragon and five buttons. There must be a hint somewhere about the sequence to push them. I do not want to try all 120 combinations, and it is not satisfying to just to click around

Snoopy, work again on chapter 7, you missed an important item

Spoiler

In the city, go up the stairs to the right. Next screen right and down. Next screen right and up, next screen up. You will see an area with a ruin of a house to the right, where you can enter through a rounded door frame. Enter and move the cursor along the inner wall to the left of the two squares. It should change to a hand cursor. This is the cloak of invisibility. Wear it and the kids do not hassle you anymore

Dragon King

Spoiler

You have to get by first and enter the right and then the left door to get an item and some clue how to kill the monster. The monster has very good hearing, if you are invisible but step off the carpet and continue walking, he will kill you. On the spots where the carpet is torn go step by step, waiting at least one second between each step.

About the endgame

Spoiler

Remember the different chapters as you played through them. This gives the correct answer

I am in chapter 6 and have been wandering all over the caves, doors open and close so drawing a map sure doesn't help. How do you get out of these caves?

[sthomannch]

Isis

Spoiler

When you hear the clock, some passages open and other close. Go to the place where there is a scaffold. The cursor changes first to an eye cursor. Go to the right. You will find a door with "Danger" written on it. Wait or go forth and back, until the door vanishes. Enter the next room. You can't go back to the caves from here and don't need to.

Snoopy

Spoiler

The mirror is the talisman. The queen is the queen of the night, yes? Follow the carpet to the first torn section and make your way to the green tile with the moon symbol. In the inventory, change the cloak with the mirror as soon as you see the reflection of the monster in the mirror. If necessary, turn a little bit to the left or right. After a few shots, the dragon king will kill himself.

Thanks for the help sthomannch. I now realize I didn't get the book and the stone in chapter 5 ( I do have the mirror though ) do I need them to get out of the caves and go on?

[snoopy]

Isis

Spoiler

i am actually surprised you solved the riddle of the phoenix without the book because you only need the book which gives clues to how to solve the riddle. which you must of solved if you got the mirror.
and about the stone i don't know what it is for but you don't need it for the caves in chapter 6.

Spoiler

you don't need the book, but the stone

[close]

Spoiler

I solved the Sphinx riddle without the book, which I found later, simply by looking at the paintings in the tombs.

Stones: You'll need it in chapter 9, I think. I used it there.

[isis]

Thank you both for your help. Could you give me an idea where to look for the stones?

I'm in Chapter 2 but

Spoiler

I didn't pick up the lantern in chapter 1. (I did once, but kept having to go back to old savegames when the ghosts kept killing me.) Now I am walking around in the dark and keep getting killed.

[close]

Is this a walking dead, or is there another solution?

[gavin82098]

Spoiler

You need the lantern. Will have to do over.

not aries.

The right order of the tiles is also displayed in the room before the library, though the images are not very clear.

I did try all tiles but no luck. Are you start left to right or up down and can you tell the with one you have to start ( Aries ?).

in the desert, go to the statue. Not the sphinx, but the one that is standing on a small pile of stones in the sand, to the north-east of the sphinx. Examine the rocks in front of the statue. The cursor changes to a hand cursor about in the middle of the pile of rocks.

well, I have finally seen the web small, but no matter what I do...cpukiller, change settings in setup, as soon as I enter the room with the web, it gets big again. do you think it is the patch? has anyone cleared it without the patch? thanks. resa

My experience agrees with this (although I'm not sure I've really seen the web small). I patched version 1a, and it almost seems like it's worse than it was before. I get back to the web and about one second later the speed effect wears off. The sequence I follow is:

Spoiler

I previously opened the gate, gone to the barn and gotten the crank. Starting at the tree I eat the fruit, run to the barn (down through the gate then left all the way to the left end, then down to the barn) crank off the fountain (I understand that this is what makes the web small), then run to the web (exit the barn, left, up, right to the gate, through the gate, right then up to the web).

[close]

Is there a better way to do this?

[Leon]

My sequence was:

Spoiler

From the start go straight to the statue, take the key and unlock the door. Go to the tree and get the fruit. Go through the door and go south past the gazebo (on the left side). Then keep walking left to the shed. Take the handle and return the way you came. So exit the shed and walk to the right. Past the gazebo to the door (on the left again). I noticed that this one is faster than keep walking near the wall. I never used the cranck, only took it to use in the next chapter. I think it takes to much time to play with the water... ;-) )
The spiders are almost done but there's just enough space to crawl under.

[close]

I have the complete sequence written (including the maze parts) as part of the walkthrough. If interested, let me know, I'll PM chapter 3.

grydwrd how to do the garden correctly is on page 3 reply #52.

sthomannch TYVM for helping me with the stones.
