BRANDON’S FOREST
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 


INTRO

Watch the intro, as the evil jester Malcolm wreaks havoc across the land of Kyrandia.  

BRANDON’S HOME

You arrive home, unaware that Malcolm has broken free from his prison.  You’re shocked to see your Grandfather turned to stone.  Talk to your Grandfather, but he’s unable to respond.  Pick up GARNET from the table.  Pick up SAW from below the table.  Pick up NOTE from the table.  Use NOTE on yourself, but it appears to be blank.  Maybe Brynn will be able to use her magic to read it.  Take APPLE from the cauldron.  Try to walk down, to leave your home.  The tree house comes to life, and tells you all about Malcolm.  Now walk down to leave your home.  

 

 

 


OUTSIDE BRANDON’S HOME

Step on the tree branch, and ride it down to the ground.  

 

 

 


BELOW BRANDON’S HOME

Walk right 2 screens to Pool Of Sorrow.  

 

 

 


POOL OF SORROW

The trees are crying, because of the destruction that Malcolm is causing.  Click on the pool, so you catch a TEARDROP.  Walk left, and continue left, until you reach A Rotting Tree.  

 


A ROTTING TREE

What happened here?  The willow tree looks half-dead.  Notice there is a teardrop-shaped dent in the trunk of the tree.  Use your TEARDROP in the dent.  The tree heals itself.  Your friend Merith appears, and wants to play.  He tells you that he found a MARBLE, and he’ll give it to you if you can catch him.  Start chasing Merith right.  Continue right, until you see the leaf fall to the ground.  

 


DARK FOREST

The leaf changes into a PERIDOT when it touches the ground.  Pick up the PERIDOT.  Walk up to the next screen.  

 


DARK FOREST

Merith is here.  He thinks you will approach from a different direction, so he’s not expecting you to catch him.  Sneak up behind him, and give him a fright.  He storms off in a huff, leaving his precious MARBLE for you.  Pick up the MARBLE.  Walk right to A Forest Altar.  

 


A FOREST ALTAR

Click on the altar twice.  Is it broken?  It used to glow.  Take a ROSE from the bush at the side of the altar.  Now look at the top of the altar, and notice the 2 purple marbles.  But it looks like it should have 3 marbles.  Hmmm, I wonder if YOUR purple marble (that you got from Merith) would fit here.  Place MARBLE on top of the altar.  Ahhh, now it’s glowing!  You fixed it!  Walk left to the next screen.  

 


DARK FOREST

Walk down one screen.

Walk up to The Temple Of Kyrandia.  

 


THE TEMPLE OF KYRANDIA

Enter the Temple.  

 


INSIDE THE TEMPLE

Your sister Brynn is here.  Talk to her, and give her the NOTE from your Grandfather.  She tells you that the NOTE is enchanted, then she removes the enchantment, so that you can read the NOTE.  She asks you to find her a LAVENDER ROSE.  Now burn NOTE in the fire, since you won‘t need it again.  Give ROSE to Brynn.  Brynn casts a spell that changes the LAVENDAR ROSE into a SILVER ROSE, which you automatically take.  Then she tells you to place the SILVER ROSE on the altar, to activate your amulet.  Now leave the Temple.  

 


THE TEMPLE OF KYRANDIA

Now, you’ll see several precious gemstones scattered throughout Kyrandia.  Pick up any gemstones you see.  Walk down to A Southern Cliff.

A STRANGE HUT

Enter the hut.  

 


INSIDE DARM’S ABODE

That’s a HUGE dragon!  Talk to the Wizard Darm, and ask for help to defeat Malcolm.  Darm tells you that he needs a QUILL.  Leave the hut.  

 


A STRANGE HUT

Walk down to A Large Statue.  

 

 

 


A LARGE STATUE

AN ANCIENT WELL

Click on the well if you like.  Walk right to A Bubbling Spring.  

 


A BUBBLING SPRING

Take a yellow TULIP from the bush.  Walk down 2 screens to Dark Forest.  

 


DARK FOREST

Walk left to Deadwood Glade.  

 


DEADWOOD GLADE

Notice the hole in the ground here.  Remember what the Nolby said?  Okay, plant the PINECONE in the hole.  The ground rumbles slightly.  Plant the WALNUT in the hole.  The ground rumbles again.  Plant the ACORN in the hole.  A giant yellow flower grows out from the hole, and starts talking to you.  To show appreciation for restoring life to Deadwood Glade, the giant flower actives the first stone in your amulet - the yellow Healing Stone.  That could come in handy!  Head up, and continue up, until you reach Songbird‘s Nest.  

 

 

 


SONGBIRD’S NEST

Stand under the bird’s nest, and use your yellow Healing Stone to heal the bird.  The bird sheds a FEATHER, then flies away.  Pick up the FEATHER.  Walk left to A Large Statue.  

 


A LARGE STATUE

Walk up to A Strange Hut.  

 


A STRANGE HUT

Enter the hut.

A GROVE OF OAKS

Walk right to A Marble Altar.  

 

 

 


A MARBLE ALTAR

Drop all your items here, then SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  This is where you must complete your Birthstone Quest.  But you need to prepare for it, first.  Walk right 2 screens to Songbird’s Nest.  

 


SONGBIRD’S NEST

Walk down to An Ancient Well.  

 


AN ANCIENT WELL

Walk right a A Bubbling Spring.  

 


A BUBBLING SPRING

Search the water (the stream part, not the pool part) for a SUNSTONE.  Now search both sections of the forest (on either side of the bridge), until you’ve found 12 different gemstones.  The gemstones you must find are:  

    -    Garnet
    -    Peridot
    -    Amethyst
    -    Ruby
    -    Sapphire
    -    Topaz
    -    Diamond
    -    Pearl
    -    Onyx
    -    Opal
    -    Sunstone
    -    Aquamarine

When you find all the stones, make your way back to A Marble Altar.  

 


A MARBLE ALTAR

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  You have to place your 4 Birthstones, in the correct order, in the Altar Plate.  If you place a stone correctly, a light will indicate on the altar.  If you place a stone in the wrong order, it will burn up.  The order is random, and changes for every play through.  But it always starts with the SUNSTONE.  So place the SUNSTONE into the altar plate.  Now use SAVE\RESTORE to figure out which other stones you need.  

When all 4 stones are placed correctly, the altar plate transforms into a FLUTE.  Pick up the FLUTE.  Also pick up the FROST SCROLL that you dropped here earlier.  Drop any unused gemstones here.  Now walk right to A Large Statue.  

 

 

 


A LARGE STATUE

Walk up to A Strange Hut.  

 


A STRANGE HUT

Enter the hut.  

 


INSIDE DARM’S ABODE

Talk to Darm, and tell him you’ve completed the Birthstone Quest.  Brandywine tells you that you must cross a deadly labyrinth, in order to find Zanthia, and continue your quest of stopping Malcolm’s rampage of terror.  Leave the hut, and make your way back to A Marble Altar.  

 

 

 


A MARBLE ALTAR

Pick up APPLEROSE, and TULIP that you left here earlier.  Now, to save you some time later, I’ll tell you that you need to search the forest, and find SAPHIRERUBY, and TOPAZ.  The RUBY is on the Ruby Tree (beware of the snake).  The TOPAZ and SAPHIRE could be anywhere in the forest.  When you have those 3 gemstones, return here.  Walk right 2 screens to Songbird’s Nest.  

 


SONGBIRD’S NEST

Head down 3 screens to Deadwood Glade.  

 


DEADWOOD GLADE

Walk right 2 screens to Serpent’s Grotto.  

 

SERPENT’S GROTTO

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  Walk right, and try to enter the Grotto.  Malcolm emerges from his hiding place in the grotto, and taunts you.  After a quick trade of insults, he throws a knife at you, and it lands in the tree behind you.  Click on the knife in the tree, and only that knife, so you can throw it back at him.  Don’t click anywhere else, or Malcolm will turn you into a block of ice.  Malcolm retreats back into the grotto, but he creates a wall of ice, to prevent you from entering.  Ha!  As if that would stop you!  Simply play your FLUTE, and the wall of ice will shatter.  Now walk right into the grotto.  

 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
THE LABYRINTH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 


A NATURAL MINERAL POOL

Walk right into the cave.  

 


CAVE

SAVE YOUR GAME HERE.  You have to find your way through a nasty labyrinth.  There’s a fireberry bush here.  These FIREBERRIES light up a dark cave, so that the monsters don’t get you.  But they only last for 3 screens, so you have to plan things carefully.  Make sure you have FLUTEFROST SCROLLAPPLEROSETULIPSAPPHIRERUBY, and TOPAZ.  Take 2 FIREBERRIES from the bush, then walk right to the next screen.  

A NATURAL MINERAL POOL

Walk right to A Treacherous Crossing.  

 


A TREACHEROUS CROSSING

Walk right a few steps.  The iron gate behind you slams shut, as soon as you step into the circle.  Oh dear!  If you had some rocks, you could throw them into the hanging dish, and trigger the counterweight.  But… you don’t have any rocks!  The only option now, is to get through the labyrinth ahead of you.  The best way to get through the labyrinth, is shown below.  Remember to SAVE often!
