Are you SERIOUS??? I was afraid Leo was gone forever... this is such good news!

Mordalles... you can't give him anything until he has something to trade with you. Have you had the gardener pick up anything inside his painting yet?

I replaced the corrupted/bugged sl.gui with the one from the downloaded file (as per blashyrkh's brilliant suggestion) and it never gave me trouble after that.
So... I don't think my sl.gui is corrupted anymore. I'm sorry I couldn't help you with it...
But, bugs and persistent Lshift tapping aside, I just LOVED this game. Loved it. I especially loved the idea of interacting with the... other sentient beings in the house (don't want to give too much away...)  But I truly enjoyed this game and I really look forward to your next (bug free!) endeavor! Nice work!

Fluse-

Spoiler

in the room with the picture of the witch (next to the kitchen), there is a shelf of books. Remember the food that the princess tells you and look it up in the cookbook... it will help you figure out the code.

And your English is SOOO much better than my German!
Omi- If you mean the door in the basement (next to the potatoes) ignore it... you can't open it.Ã,  And I sometimes got the "Not a good start" message (even when they took the itemÃ,  : ) He should take any item you give him, correct or not. So, maybe leave the room and come in and try it again? Or see if he's taken the item, despite the message. This game really is neat, but very buggy.

Frank- Have you opened the chest in the dungeon yet?

Spoiler

if you combine a liquid and a common household ingredient, you can corrode and possibly break the chains...

And the Walrus, it's the same with the other paintings... you can swap 1 item at a time with the paintings.

Frank- the witch won't talk to you until you've given her something from the dungeon,

Spoiler

but you have to lure it out and trap it first. And you don't need the mushroom at THIS moment.

Walrus-

Spoiler

the guy is alseep under the sunshade on the other side of the cliff. There's something you have in your inventory that has a hook at the end of it that will get rid of the gian umbrella...

Wait, no, I take it back. I'm done. Finally. Miraculously.

Blashyrkh, have you finished yet? I've caught up to where you were but I'm just wandering now...

The Walrus-

Spoiler

One of the paintings is asleep... the gardner can help you wake him up, if you give him the right items to use...

ALRIGHT! I finally beat my keyboard repeatedly and shrieked profanities at it and it FINALLY did what I told it to. So here goes my last dumb question before I hopefully catch up:

Spoiler

I think I have all the items, but I can't give them to the witch and I haven't yet been able to combine them (oh PLEASE not that again.) Is there a suitable container I'm missing? Or do I need to hold down Lshift and beat buttons repeatedly until the indredients all combine?

[close]

Right, so, RIGHT after I combined the two items, it then "forgot" they were combined and then the game crashed. Again. For the fourth time. I want to cry. And now it's confusing to combine them... I may never get as far in the game as you!

Wow. This is a really fun game, but it's taking me forever; the game crashes every time I save or load. I've had to replay most of the action several times... (it tells me it cannot display message with extended characters in SCI font.) I would love to see the end but this would make the fourth time I've made it about an hour into the game only to have it crash...

Are you KIDDING me? Yep, that was it. In fact, I had to keep exchanging items (put put the two into different numbers) until it worked. Thanks so much for your help.

So, I'm seriously getting angry at this game.

Spoiler

I have another hook (the one he makes a Peter Pan comment about) but there's no way to just combine it with the fishing hook, the guy just makes a Peter Pan comment about it when I try to use it on the egg, and

I'm getting really frustrated. Can you just tell me what you did to get that ingredient? I'm so sorry... I just can't get it to work...

Artphreak-

Spoiler

have you given the boy in the dungeon the broken lantern?

[close]

I'm not really making sense, I'm sorry... I

Spoiler

already got the worm from the hole in the ground and got the fishing pole from the fisherman. I already have control of the sunbathing guy... but he won't use the fishing pole to get the egg and I've tried every other item on the nest without success... I've been through the dungeon (everything but the chest), I've been in the library, and I have all the ingredients for the whistle but the egg...

[close]

I hate to keep aasking you for help but you've been so great...

Finally

Spoiler

got the witch to speak to me...thanks. Now I have a list of ingredients to give her, I can't retrieve the egg from the cliff, and I can't give her the ingredients one at a time.

Any thoughts?
By the way,

Spoiler

does the construction of the key have anything to do with the machine in the monk's picture?

[close]

And thanks for your help!

I'm stuck too... I have no idea

Spoiler

how to give the fisherman a water nymph(?) or what to give the witch to make her happy...

[close]

Any ideas?

Maggie- Have you left Strahov yet? If so,

Spoiler

you should find out who wrote the book (Ketmaier can't read the name). Try looking up the title on your computer.

I am stuck

Spoiler

underwater, with Jodo... I gave him back his hat, and he's telling me something about there being only special books here, or something. Is there something I'm missing?
