Got it, I think...

Spoiler

There was another item in the restaurant that I hadn't picked up yet.

Spoiler

I can't prepare the spells in the dungeon, in the house, outside, or at the bottom of the mountain, and if I cast them in the dungeon, they act on me and I die.

[close]

So how do you prepare the spells? Could someone please help me with this?

Actually, scrap that.

Spoiler

Every time I cast a spell in the dungeon, it works on me and I die. So that's not the way to do it.

When can I prepare the spells?

I've found out how to do this. To answer my own question, in case it helps anyone else:

Spoiler

Once you have all the ingredients for a spell, you need only make sure they are in your inventory (and not under the bed) and then click on the spell in the book with the "CAST" cursor. You don't actually need to carry out the actions described in the spell.

When can I prepare the spells?

Spoiler

I have everything I need except the stone. I have the wand. When I go down into the dungeon and try to cut the cactus, it says "No"; if I use the cactus on the knife, it says "You can't do that yet."

Do I have to collect all of the ingredients before I can prepare the spells, or do I have to wait for Manannan to be doing something in particular? At the moment, he is sleeping.

Thanks.

I've found the answer on another thread.

It's a while since I played it, but there is a club you go to and the doorman is standing outside. I think you have to ask the taxi driver to take you there. If you don't have the option of going there yet, you need to find a clue that suggests you should go there.

Spoiler

Either I get killed if I walk into the room where he is because I've discovered the "magics", or I get killed when I am nearly at the bottom of the mountain because I'm "not allowed out here".

Help, please, on my above question...

Spoiler

Is it because I looked under the tapestry in my bedroom? Do I need to go back to an earlier game? Or is there something else I need to do to stop him finding me?

[close]

Thanks.

Spoiler

Is that the panel of the machine that has two vials of blood in it?

[close]

If so...

Spoiler

You need to put another vial into the empty space.

Another hint if you haven't got the object you need:

Spoiler

This can be found in the cabinet in the house in the village where you found the robots.

[close]

So what do I do?

I don't know how you get games with .bat files to run. I suggest private-messaging the author or posting a message in another of the forums to ask about this (perhaps the Technical Forum).

It won't open, it goes right back to the desk top.
Hints?
XP, HP, I'm good to go tho.

If I remember rightly, I had the same problem. This game seems to have been released without a winsetup file. Winsetup files might not have been around when the first in the series was made, but that's no excuse for not providing one for a recent release.

How do you

Spoiler

stop Mannanan from killing you every five seconds? I've picked up a whole load of things from the house, washed the floor, emptied the chamberpot and left, but as soon as I start to walk down the mountain, the wizard appears and kills me.

To give an object to a person, right-click on the person, then select the object from your inventory. The same applies to using an inventory object on something in a room, but, obviously, only works where there are hotspots.

Hm, it looks like I'm stuck earlier than everyone else.

Spoiler

I have the clothes, cell phone, sax and napkin. I've spoken to Anne, the manager, Anne again and the manager again, but I need a better excuse to leave.

[close]

Ah, thanks for that guys. I must have missed that when reading the very useful Readme.txt file that was helpfully provided with the game

Okay how do I fix the tubes? And how do I leave the room to go out?

Use the windows to get out and to fix the tube you get something later

I think CosmoQueen might have meant "How do you get out of the bathroom?" I'm having the same problem.

There seems to be a bug in the installation. If you install in a folder that does not end in "\Valentine", it fails to delete files during the installation. This isn't a big deal for the user to fix, but if you do decide to change the installation directory to something not ending in "\Valentine" (as I did), it gives the impression that there's something wrong with the file.

Have you tried
