GENRE: Point & Click Adventure
WHERE TO GET IT: AGD Interactive
You begin your adventures outside the castle portcullis. If you watched
the intro, you’ll know that King Edward has quested you with finding the 3 lost
treasures of the kingdom - the magic mirror, the magic shield, and the magic
chest. If you succeed in finding those treasures, you inherit the throne.
Walk left twice. Walk behind the rock, and push it to reveal a
small hole. Look into the hole, and get DAGGER.
Head up one screen, and look at the oak tree. Climb the tree.
Wow, there’s a giant nest with a golden egg here. Carefully
make your way along the branch, and get the GOLDEN EGG.
Now carefully make your way back along the branch to climb back down the
tree. Don’t worry if you fall out tree - you will survive the fall.
Go right one screen. There’s a huge carrot patch here. Look
at the carrot patch, and then pick a CARROT. Now it may
look tasty, but don’t eat it! You’ll need it later!
Walk right twice. Walk into middle of the screen, and your Fairy
Godmother will appear, casting a Protective Spell on you. Isn’t that
nice of her? When she is finished, head up one screen.
You’ve reached the Clover Patch. Look at the clover patch to see
there is an unusual clover in the middle - pick the FOUR-LEAF CLOVER.
Well, you know what they say about 4-leaf leafed clovers being lucky!
Walk up one screen to the Troll Bridge (but don’t attempt to cross
it yet), then head left twice to see a bowl lying on the ground . Look
at bowl twice (note how it says ‘FILL‘ on the inside), and then
pick up the BOWL.
Walk down one screen. An elf should appear. If not, then
leave the
screen and immediately return again, until the elf appears. Walk over to
the elf, and talk to him. The little elf is touched by your kindness, and
gives you a JEWELLED RING in return. He tells you that
the ring is magical, and it will make you invisible, but it will only work one
time.
Walk left twice and down twice (watch out for the wolf), so you are at
the beach. Look at pebbles on the sand, and then get PEBBLES.
Go down 3 times, and then right once. There’s a Walnut Tree
here, with a squirrel scampering back & forth. Pick up a WALNUT from
the ground, and use it on yourself to discover it’s pure gold inside.
Walk left twice and look at the house. Now this tasty-looking
house actually belongs to an evil witch, so you have to be careful.
Eat the wall (use hand icon). If you hear the witch talking,
leave screen, then return and try again. When there is no-one home,
enter the house.
Inside the house, quickly make your way into the bedroom, and
hide behind the doorway. Wait for the witch to appear.
When she does, sneak up behind her and push her into the cauldron.
Yippee, the witch is dead! Now go back into the bedroom, and pick
up NOTE from the bedside table. Use it on yourself to
read it - ‘Sometimes it is wise to think backwards’. Hmmm, I
wonder what that could mean. Now leave the bedroom, and open cabinet next
to the cauldron. Take CHEESE from the cabinet, and then
leave the house.
Head up twice, so you are outside the Woodcutter’s Cottage.
Enter cottage, and listen to the Woodcutter’s sad tale. Him
and his wife are starving. Remember that BOWL you found
earlier? Use BOWL on yourself, and it fills up with
stew. Now give BOWL to the Woodcutter - he feeds his
wife the stew, and then thanks you. He gives you his fiddle to show his
appreciation, so take FIDDLE from the table. Now leave
the cottage.
Walk up one screen and left one screen. There’s a log and a
tree stump here. Approach the tree stump, and look inside the tree
stump to see a pouch. Get POUCH, and then use POUCH on
yourself to discover it‘s filled with diamonds.
Go up one screen to reach the goat paddock. Nice goat! Open
gate, and walk up to goat - you may have to follow it to the
next screen. Show CARROT to goat, to make him
follow you. Now leave the paddock.
Walk down, left, and down twice, so you are at the troll bridge.
Now this is a troll bridge… you have a goat with you. Goats
and trolls don’t mix well. Walk onto bridge, and the troll will
appear. Now get out of the way quickly, while the goat takes care of
your problem.
Heeheehee! The goat trots off now, to explore on his own. Now
that the troll is gone, simply cross the bridge, and walk left to next
screen. There’s an old gnome here, spinning straw on his spinning wheel.
Talk to the gnome, and he’ll challenge you to guess his name correctly.
If you get his name right, he’ll give you a reward. Now you may
have guessed his name is Rumplestiltskin. But simply typing out his name
won’t work. Remember the note back in the witch’s house - ‘Sometimes
it’s wise to think backwards’. But typing out his name backwards
won’t work either. We have to think outside the box. Let’s take a
look at the alphabet:
A B C D E F G H I
J K L M N O P Q R S
T U V W X Y Z
Z Y X W V U T S R Q P O N
M L K J I H G F E D
C B A
So taking the letters that spell ‘Rumplestiltskin’, and compare
it to the corresponding backwards alphabet, we can work out his name
- IFNKOVHGROGHPRM (try pronouncing that, lol). Well done
Graham, you guessed his name correctly! He gives you some MAGIC
BEANS as a reward. Now walk right, cross the troll bridge, and
go right again.
Look at the beautiful flower patch. Walk onto the flower patch,
and use MAGIC BEANS on the flower patch to plant them.
Wow, that was a fast-growing beanstalk. Climb the beanstalk, Saving
occasionally until you reach the top.
When you’re standing on the cloud, SAVE HERE. Now walk
right 3 screens, until you see the giant. SAVE HERE again.
The giant will try and chase you, but being a giant, he tires
easily. Play a game of ‘Chase’, making sure to keep that tree
in between you and the giant - he’ll soon tire out and lie down to sleep.
Get CHEST from next to the sleeping giant.
This is one of the 3 magic treasures you were looking for.
Walk down one screen and right one screen. Notice the tree with
a hole in the bottom. Look in hole, and get the SLINGSHOT from
hole.
Walk up one screen to the cave, and enter the cave. SAVE HERE.
Make your way down the long, long, long walkway (make sure you Save every so
often). When you finally reach the bottom, open door and leave the cave.
Back outside, you find yourself on solid ground again. Walk left
twice, and then down to the well.
Use your DAGGER to cut rope on the well, and get
the BUCKET. Turn crank on the right of the well to lower
the rope, and then use rope to climb down into the well.
Inside the well, jump into the water, and fill your BUCKET with
water. Now dive under the water, and swim down and left through the
small hole. Don’t waste time exploring this screen - you can’t hold your
breath long enough. Swim up through the small pond, and surface again.
Go left to next screen, and come face to face with a scary dragon.
YIKES! But if you filled your bucket in the well, you should be
okay. The dragon is sleeping right now - throw your BUCKET OF
WATER on the dragon to douse it flames. The dragon can no
longer defend itself, and crawls away to sulk. Get the MIRROR,
which is leaning against a rock. This is another of the magic
treasures. Use MIRROR on yourself to see a glimpse of
the future. Head left into the cave-maze, and follow path to the exit.
Outside the cave entrance, there is a condor flying past every so
often. Now this bit is VERY tricky! You have to grab hold of the
condor’s feet, and it’s VERY tricky to get it right. Notice the small
rocks near right side of the screen - you have to stand exactly at the point.
Hover your Hand cursor over mouth of the cave. When you hear the
condor, try and click on him when he flies in front of the cave. Like I
said, it’s very tricky to get the timing right. You get 4 tries before
the condor leaves. When that happens, leave the screen, then return and
try again. When you succeed, the condor will carry you to an area you
couldn’t previously access.
When the condor drops you, you are standing next to a hole. Don’t
go into the hole yet. Walk left to next screen, and get the MUSHROOM.
Return right to the hole, and fall down into the hole.
Follow path down and left, until you are greeted by a hungry rat.
Talk to rat. Give CHEESE to rat. His hunger
satisfied, he scuttles away.
Open the door, and walk through to the leprechauns room.
Quickly play your FIDDLE, and watch as they dance a
merry jig and zap themselves right out of the room. Continue left, and
watch as more leprechauns dance to the fiddle music, and leave the room
one-by-one. When the king leaves, take the SCEPTRE, and take
the MAGIC SHIELD. You now have all 3 treasures.
Walk left to next screen. SAVE HERE. There’s a tiny
hole here. Remember what Alice did in this situation? Eat the MUSHROOM,
and then go through the hole. Back out in the open air, you return
to normal size.
Walk up twice and right three times, so you are back outside the castle
portcullis. Click on portcullis to open it.
Watch final cutscene. The king is dead… long live the king!
Congratulations King Graham, you have completed the game.
