VELLA TARTINE - PART 1
INTRO
Broken
Age is a game about 2 young teenagers - Vella and Shay - who come from vastly
different worlds. Their worlds might be different, but they share one
thing in common - a strong desire to escape their fates.
You
can switch between Vella and Shay at any time. Here is Vella’s
journey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SUGAR BUNTING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GARDEN
You
are Vella. You have been chosen as the sacrifice to a fearsome monster
known as Mog Chothra. The whole village sees it as an honour to be chosen
as the sacrifice. However, you are understandably quite apprehensive
about it.
You
are enjoying a relaxing nap in the garden. However, your younger sister
is calling for you. Click anywhere to get up. Walk down to your
sister. Apparently everyone is waiting for you at the Maiden’s Feast - a
traditional feast held before sacrificing the chosen Maiden to Mog
Chothra. Head down the field, and enter your house.
HOUSE
It’s
dark in the house. Walk right a few steps, and… SURPRISE! Everyone
is congratulating you. It seems that you‘re entire family is celebrating
a ceremony known as Maiden‘s Feast, and you are to be guest of honour.
You’re rather nervous about it, but you can’t back out now.
You can’t cut the cake, because your mum has lost the cake
knife. Pick up TOWEL that’s
covering the plate of cupcakes in the foreground. Take a CUPCAKE from the
plate. Talk to your sister and your dad. Talk to Levina, the old
woman, and work through all the dialogue. Talk to Grandpa and work
through all the dialogue. Give CUPCAKE to your Grandpa and use the
following dialogue option.
- Split it with you?
Grandpa uses a knife to cut the cupcake in half, then drops it
so it lands on the table in front of the window. Ah-ha! So THAT’S
where your mum’s cake knife went! Take KNIFE from the
table. If you didn’t split the cupcake with your Grandpa, take
another CUPCAKE from
the plate in the foreground.
Give KNIFE to
your mum. Watch the cut scene as you get dressed for the ceremony.
THE CEREMONY
You, along with 4 other maidens, are perched along the beach,
waiting for Mog Chothra’s arrival. Each of you is wearing a bizarre cake
dress. You are in the middle, with the ‘Up For Grabs’ dress. Talk to the
maiden in the yellow ‘Fun
Size’ dress and work through all the dialogue. Talk to
all the other maiden’s. Finally, Mog Chothra arrives. He’s… um…
very big! And very scary! He takes the maiden on the right, and
swallows her whole. Talk to maiden next to you, on the right, with the
purple ‘Drink Me’ dress,
and use the following dialogue options.
- We gotta get out of here!
- Hey, can I have a drink of that water?
She trades you her bottle of water for your CORSET. The bottle
of water splashes all over you. Then she changes her mind, and trades
back, so the CORSET is
in your Inventory. The maiden on the left with the green ’Delish’ dress is now
taken by Mog Chothra, and swallowed whole.
Talk to maiden on the right with the purple ‘Drink Me’ dress again,
and use the following dialogue options.
- Can I borrow that bottle one more time?
She throws you her WATER
BOTTLE… then Mog Chothra swallows her whole.
Talk
to the maiden in the yellow ‘Fun Size’ dress again, and use the following
dialogue options.
- Want to TRADE something for a bite of
that drumstick?
- How about something bubbly to wash it
down?
You throw the WATER
BOTTLE to her, and water splashes all over her. Talk
to her again, and use the following dialogue options.
- Want to TRADE something for a bite of
that drumstick?
- Need a towel?
You
throw her the towel, she throws you her drumstick, which becomes stuck in your
cake dress… then Mog Chothra swallows her whole.
You’re the only maiden left now. A bird shows a lot of
interest in the drumstick which is still stuck in your cake dress.
Use CORSET with
the bird to harness it. The bird tries to fly away. But since
you’re holding onto it via the corset, and you’re stuck inside the cake dress,
the bird isn’t able to pull you free. Use KNIFE on the bottom
of the cake dress. It worked! The bird pulls you free, and flies
high up into the clouds. You’ve escaped from Mog Chothra! Watch the
cut scene as the bird takes you to a village in the clouds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MERILOFT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CLOUD VILLAGE
Don’t
worry if you fall through the clouds - a bird will catch you, and bring you
back up to a platform you can stand on.
Talk
to Walt’r and Ch’t in the centre platform and work through all the
dialogue. You learn a lot of information from them. Walk along the
path heading left.
You
see a hut with 3 Bowls Of Offering outside. Talk to F’ther and work
through all the dialogue. There’s nothing you can do here at the moment,
so when conversation is over, walk right, back to the centre area.
Walk
right a few steps, and climb down the ladder at the bottom of the screen.
Talk to the teenager sitting in the swing, and work through all
the dialogue. She’s an offering for the Maiden’s Feast, but she’s
depressed because Mog Chothra didn’t pick her. She gives you her CLOUD SHOES. As
soon as you’re able, use CLOUD
SHOES on yourself - this allows you to walk over the
clouds without sinking. When you’re ready, climb back up the ladder on
the left.
You’re
back in the centre section. Walk up to the Cloud Shoes hut at the upper
right.
You
startle Car‘l, and she accidentally drops her knife. Talk to Car’l and
work through all the dialogue. It seems that Car’l is not happy up here,
but only stays because her husband and son are here. When prompted, use
the following dialogue option.
- Area?
Continue
working through the dialogue with Car’l. When conversation is over, leave
the Cloud Shoes hut.
Walk
along the path heading right.
Talk to M’ggie and work through all the dialogue. She
gives you her LADDER.
When conversation is over, look at the upper-right nest, and look at the KNIFE. That’s
the KNIFE that
you lost when you first arrived in this village - your mum‘s special ceremonial
knife. Use LADDER with
the nest to climb up, then take the KNIFE.
Now climb back down the LADDER.
Walk up to the big cloud in the distance.
Look at the GOLD
EGG in the nest above you. Try to use LADDER with the
nest, but the bird in the nest simply unhooks it, so you can’t climb up.
Walk back down to the screen with M’ggie.
Walk
left to the screen with the Cloud Shoes hut.
Walk up to the Cloud Shoes hut. Give KNIFE to
Car’l. She thanks you by giving you a pair of BIG CLOUD SHOES.
Walk down a few steps, so you are back in the centre section.
Walk
up to Jessie’s nest. Jessie is the big blue bird with the gold egg.
Use LADDER on
Jessie’s nest, and climb up into the nest.
Walk
left along the path behind Jessie’s nest.
Walk left towards the fruit tree - watch out for that large hole
in the cloud! There’s a voice from below, asking if anyone is up
there. Look at the tree branches, and pull on the branch on the left to
try and get a PEACH.
However, the PEACH falls
through a hole in the cloud. Damn! Stand at the front left area of
the fruit tree, and drop down to the clouds below.
You’re at the base of the fruit tree. Walk left to the
nest, and take PEACH from
the nest. Resist the temptation to eat it yourself! Walk right,
until you see a man stuck in one of the tree branches. This is Gus.
Talk to Gus and work through all the dialogue. Now look at the blue egg
on the right. This is Jessie’s missing egg. Try to get to the blue
egg. Gus will grab onto you, making you fall. A bird catches you,
and takes to you the clouds above Gus.
Walk
right a few steps, and notice the hole in the cloud at the back-right.
Step onto that hole, and drop down to the clouds below.
You
land on top of Gus. Both of you are knocked out of the tree, and a bird
catches you, and takes you back to the top of the fruit tree. Again,
stand at the front left area of the fruit tree, and drop down to the clouds
below.
Walk right, along the branch. Now that Gus has gone, you
can simply take the BLUE
EGG from the right edge of the branch. Now walk
left, and enter the hole in the trunk to get back to the top of the fruit
tree.
Walk
right (watch out for that hole in the cloud), back to Jessie’s nest.
Give BLUE
EGG to Jessie the bird. Jessie is delighted to have
her egg back! Pick up the GOLD
EGG that Jessie has now discarded. Climb down the
ladder.
Walk
down a few steps to the centre platform. Walk right, to the screen with
M’ggie.
Walk
up to the screen with the gold egg in the nest.
Look at the gold egg in the nest. Try to use LADDER with the
nest if you like, but the bird in the nest unhooks it every time! In your
Inventory, combine LADDER with
the BIG CLOUD SHOES,
then use LADDER &
BIG CLOUD SHOES with the nest. Now climb up into the
nest, and take the GOLD
EGG. You now have 2 GOLD EGGS. Climb down the
ladder.
Walk
down to the screen with M’ggie.
Head left, and continue left, until you reach F’ther and his 3
Bowls Of Offering. Place a GOLD
EGG in one of the Bowls Of Enlightenment. F’ther now
allows you access to Harm’ny Lightbeard. Climb up the ladder.
Phew, that ladder was REALLY long! Harm’ny Lightbeard is
fast asleep on a cloud, at the top of the ladder. Talk to Harm’ny
Lightbeard to wake him up, then work through all the dialogue with him.
Hmm, Harm’ny Lightbeard was hiding a GOLD EGG. When you ask about it, he
denies having it, and knocks it out of his cloud, and down onto F’ther
below. When conversation is over, you automatically climb down the
ladder.
Oh dear! Poor F’ther got knocked out by the GOLD EGG. Take
the GOLD EGG that’s
balanced on the path. You should have 2 GOLD EGGS in your
Inventory - place them both in a Bowl Of Enlightenment, so each bowl contains
a GOLD EGG.
Now grab onto the ladder. The solid gold eggs are too much for the
platform to handle, and it collapses. You fall from the ladder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SHELLMOUND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CURTIS’S HOUSE
After falling from the ladder, you land in Curtis’s house.
Look at the window - you accidentally knock a GLASS PANE out of
the window. Oops! Climb down the stairs to the Ground Floor.
Look at the empty picture frames on the stairway. Now talk to Curtis, the
Woodcutter, and work through all the dialogue with him. He’s convinced
that the trees are talking to him! He wants to make you a wooden stool,
but he doesn’t have any wood. Look at the fireplace, and look at the
painting above the fireplace. Take AXE from the wall on the right.
Leave his house through the door on the right.
Open
the mailbox - it’s empty. Walk up to the path in the foreground.
For a bit of fun, walk left towards the woods. A snake will wrap itself
around you, trying to squeeze the life out of you. When you’re able, look
at the sign, then blow the nearby horn. The snake will release it’s
deadly grip on you, and slither back to the trees. Okay, when you’re
ready, walk right to the talking tree.
Talk to the tree. He’s trying to say something, but he
doesn’t have a mouth. Don’t worry, you can fix that. Use your AXE on the tree, to
cut a mouth into him. He starts accusing you of being a murderer, and
killing trees. You can’t win! Work through all the dialogue with
him. When you’re ready, walk right to the beach.
BEACH
Walk
right a few steps, and talk to the Maiden’s Feast Marshal Dune at the top of
the steps. He’s having some trouble organising the Maiden’s Feast.
Work through all the dialogue with him. Make sure you include the
following dialogue options.
- Hey, about your bucket hat..
- It looks great on you! Very
fancy!
He gives you his BUCKET.
Continue working through the dialogue with him. When conversation is
over, leave him, and walk down the stairs again.
Walk
right a few steps, talk to the 2 Maidens, and work through all the dialogue
with them. You want to join the Maiden’s Feast, but you don’t have the
right scent to attract Mog Chothra.
Take DRIFTWOOD from
the edge of the water. Look at the seagulls, and look at the trough at
the edge of the water. Look at the fishing poles - they’re useless,
because all the fishing hooks have been stolen. Walk right, and climb up
the stairs to the cave.
DEAD EYE PYRAMID CAVE
You’ve
reached the entrance to the Dead Eye Pyramid Cave, where the Dead Eye God
lives. Talk to the Dead Eye Druids who are guarding the cave entrance,
and work through all the dialogue. They won’t allow you to enter the
cave, unless you solve the Riddle Of Yorn. Make sure you include the
following dialogue options.
- Hey, can I get you guys something?
- Some more holy tear gas?
They give you a TEAR
GAS SHOOTER. Leave the pyramid for now, and return to the
beach.
BEACH
Walk left a few steps, and use TEAR GAS SHOOTER with
the trough, so you have TEAR
GAS SHOOTER WITH FISH GUTS. Head left, and make your way
back to Curtis’s House.
CURTIS’S HOUSE
Look at the ART above
Curtis’s fireplace. Talk to Curtis again and work through all the
dialogue. When conversation is over, take the ART from the wall
above his fireplace on the left. Give him your DRIFTWOOD, and he turns
it into a STOOL,
which he lets you keep. Leave his house through the door on the
right.
Walk
up to the path in the foreground, then head right to the talking tree.
Remember, the tree has very strong opinions about anyone cutting
down and murdering his fellow trees. Maybe you could use that to your
advantage. Hang your BUCKET on
the branch, then show your STOOL to
the poor tree. The result is, you end up with a BUCKET OF SAP.
Walk right to the beach.
BEACH
Walk
right a few steps, then climb up the stairs to where Marshal Dune is standing.
Talk to Marshal Dune and work through all the dialogue.
Give BUCKET OF
SAP to Marshal Dune. The sap helps the sand stick
together better. Walk down the stairs, back to the beach.
Walk
right a few steps, and climb up the stairs to the Dead Eye Pyramid Cave.
DEAD EYE PYRAMID CAVE
They still won’t let you enter the cave, unless you solve their
riddle. The answer is peach, so give them your PEACH. Now enter
the Cave.
Explore the pyramid. Look at the pedestal on the right -
it has a small recess in it. Place ART you got from Curtis into the
recess. It fits perfectly, and awakens the Dead Eye God. He’s not
what you expected. Work through all the dialogue with the Dead Eye God.
It turns out, he’s not a God at all. He’s just an explorer who put
himself into Cryogenic Suspension after his spaceship crashed. Look at
the laser coil machine in the back wall. You accidentally knock the
amplifying quartz out of the bottom socket, and it smashes. Look at the
top socket, and remove the LASER
COIL. Does the shape of the sockets look familiar to
you? Place the GLASS
PANE from Curtis’s house into the top socket, and place
the LASER COIL into
the bottom socket. Congratulations, you’ve created a Death Ray! You
keep the DEATH RAY
REMOTE CONTROL. Watch the cut scene, as you test the
Death Ray. Afterwards, you automatically leave the cave.
BEACH
Use TEAR
GAS SHOOTER WITH FISH GUTS with the (badly) singing
Maidens. You spray them with fish guts, which attracts the gulls.
While they are fighting off the gulls, take PERFUME that is
sitting next to Maiden on the left. Spray the PERFUME on
yourself. Now walk up to where Marshal Dune is standing.
Talk
to Marshal Dune, and use the following dialogue option.
- I need to enter the Maiden’s Feast!
He
allows you to enter the Maiden’s Feast. Watch the cut scene, as you and
the other 2 Maidens perch yourselves along the beach, and Mog Chothra arrives.
Mog Chothra claims the other 2 Maidens, but leaves you
alone. Hmm, you’re never gonna defeat him if he won’t come near
you! Use the DEATH
RAY REMOTE CONTROL on Mog Chothra to activate the Death
Ray laser. Now use the laser to shoot 3 of Mog Chothra’s tentacles.
When there’s only 1 tentacle left, Mog Chothra drags you up to his mouth.
Use LADDER with
his mouth to force it open. Shoot the Death Ray Laser into Mog Chothra’s
mouth.
You’ve
completed all your initial tasks, Vella. Watch the cut scene.
If you haven’t completed all of Shay’s initial tasks yet,click here to follow his journey…
Otherwise, the journey continues here…
