PART 2
============================================================
SWAMP
The swamp is still as eerie as it was when you started the game.
Go right, to the Squid Stone.
Remember the little BONSAI BUSH at the lower-right?
Cast FORCE BOLT at the BONSAI BUSH to
knock it loose from the rocks, and keep Casting FORCE BOLT until
you completely dislodge it. Now Cast FETCH on
the BONSAI BUSH. Also, use an EMPTY FLASK to collect
some of the GOO. Actually, you’ll need 5 FLASKS OF
GOO - one for Dr Cranium, and 4 for later in the game. So
collect all 5 now. Now head left once and up once, so you’re not in
the swamp anymore.
FOREST
Make your way up 3 times, then right 3 times. Now up once,
and right once. You should be at the Leshy bushes now.
FOREST - LESHY
Search the bushes until you find the Leshy. Now Leshy is
very cryptic. Think of him as a Riddle-Master. The first
riddle he gives you is to work out his name. If you’ve read all the
books back at the Adventurer’s Guild, you’ll know his name is ‘Leshy’,
so answer accordingly.
Leave the area, and immediately return. Again, search the bushes
to find Leshy. He’ll give you another riddle. He talks about ‘saving
a plant that’s in a fix’, and ‘save a plant from goo’.
This can only be the BONSAI BUSH you got from the swamp
area. Use Talk Icon on yourself, and Tell About Bush In Goo.
He tells you to plant it in a garden. But where is the garden?
Head right once, down twice, left once, and up once.
ERANA’S GARDEN
You’ve reached Erana’s Garden. Erana’s spirit watches over
the garden, making it a place of great peace and great safety.
Erana’s staff rests in the giant boulder in the centre of town.
Look at the hole in the bottom-right of the garden. Hmmm,
someone has removed a small bush? Could it be our BONSAI
BUSH? Okay, place BONSAI BUSH back in the hole.
Now it’s back where it belongs, it quickly thrives!
Now, like I said, this is a place of great safety. Sleep here for
a while, until you’re stamina is at maximum. Cast DETECT
MAGIC here. Now from a distance, Cast FETCH at
the at end of the garden, to get some MANA FRUIT (you can get
one a day). Eat the FRUIT to restore your MANA.
Now Cast TRIGGER on the pond, and a tulip and fountain will rise
up from it. Cast OPEN on the flower to reveal a SCROLL,
then Cast FETCH on the SCROLL to learn
the PROTECTION SPELL.
When you’re ready, walk down to leave the garden.
FOREST
Walk right once, up twice, and left once, so you are back at the
Leshy bushes.
FOREST - LESHY
Search the bushes until you find Leshy. His next riddle is to find
out who’s in the lake. You’ll know the answer from reading the
books back in the Adventure’s Guild, or by visiting the Lake. Use
Talk Icon on yourself, and Guess ‘Rusalka’.
His next riddle is about a hidden hut, and some bushes. You may
not have the answer yet, but don‘t worry, you can come back to it later.
FOREST
It may be starting to get dark now. Good - there’s some things
that can only be done at night.
SAVE YOUR GAME HERE. Head left 3 times, and up to the
Town Gates. Katrina is waiting for you here (you may have to leave
the screen, then return). She’s concerned about your well-being,
and teaches you the FROSTBITE SPELL. Now talk to
her and work through all the topics. She leaves before you can get
through all the topics, but don’t worry about it. If you don’t see
her tonight, you MUST meet up with her one night to get the FROSTBITE SPELL.
Go down 3 times, and right once.
FOREST - GHOST
When it’s dark, you’ll see a ghost here. Look at the ghost, talk
to her, and work through all the topics. Now use Talk Icon on
yourself and work through all the topics. She doesn’t realise she’s
a ghost - she think she’s just lost, and needs help finding her way back
home. After a while, she vanishes.
Leave the area, then immediately return. The ghost has returned.
Talk to her and work through all the topics. Before you’re done,
she vanishes again.
Leave the area again, then return. She’s back. Talk to her
and work through all the topics. Use Talk Icon on yourself and Tell
About Ghost. She gets upset, and vanishes.
Leave, and then return. There she is! She’s starting to
remember what happened to her - that she really is a ghost now, and she
can’t go home. *sniff* Talk to her and work through
all the topics. She tells you her name is Anna. She also
mentions her poor Nikolai. Nikolai? The old man in the town?
He’s been searching for his Anna for so long. *sniff sniff*
At least you found her for him.
Well, it’s late now, and you’re tired. Head down once, and right
twice.
FOREST - FOUNTAIN
Wait a minute… that fountain wasn’t here before! Look at
the fountain, then touch it, and Take A Drink. The water makes you
dizzy, and you pass out. A rather haughty fairy appears, referring
to you as ‘It’. When you wake up, the fountain is gone.
You can’t do anything about it now, but remember her for later on.
Now walk up, so you’re in Erana’s Garden.
ERANA’S GARDEN
The Garden looks even more beautiful at night, when the lanterns
are lit up. Search lantern on the left to find 30 CROWNS.
Now Sleep Until Morning.
Through the night, you had a terrifying dream, and wake up in a
cold sweat. You’re glad it’s over. Leave the garden.
FOREST
Well, you met Anna’s Ghost last night - you should tell poor
Nikolai about it. Make your way left twice, up twice, left once,
then up to the top, until you reach the town.
TOWN
When you’re in the town, head up left to the buildings, then
up through the left arch.
Talk to Igor and work through all the topics. Use Talk Icon on
yourself and Tell About Dr Cranium. Now enter Adventurer’s Guild on
the left.
TOWN - ADVENTURER’S GUILD
Use Exercise machine on the left. Take some WEIGHTS from
the pile, then use Exercise \ Bucket machine again. Rest for a while,
then use the Exercise machine again. Repeat this until the game
won’t let you do anymore for today. Now leave the Adventurer’s
Guild.
TOWN
Outside the Adventurer’s Guild, walk right to the next screen.
The old man is still here. Talk to him and work through the
topics. Use Talk Icon on yourself and Tell About Ghost Wife, and how
you saw her in the woods. He immediately leaves to be with her…
but does he really understand that she’s dead?
Enter Dr Cranium’s house on the right.
TOWN - DR CRANIUM’S HOUSE
Enter his lab at the back. He tells you about his
wonderful Rehydration Formula. Talk to him and work through all the
topics. Get a HEALING POTION, POISON CURE POTION,
and EMPTY FLASK from him. When you ask about the
Rehydration Formula, you will have to tell him what the formula is.
Tell Dr Cranium the five-symbol code. He also asks for
some GRUE GOO. When conversation is over, give him FLASK
OF GOO. As promised, he gives you some REHYDRATION SOLUTION. Now leave his lab and leave his house.
TOWN
Make your way back to the Burgomeister’s office. The
Burgomeister tells you that Nikolai has disappeared from his home, and he
fears the old man is dead. Talk to the Burgomeister and work through
all the topics. Now use Talk Icon on yourself and Tell About Old Man.
Check the time, and practice Casting your Spells in the woods,
until evening.
When evening time comes, return to the Inn. Knock on the Inn
door, and enter.
TOWN - INN
The gnome has arrived. Click on the table to sit down and watch
the comedy show. After the gnome has finished his comedy routine,
talk to him and work through all the topics. Now use Talk Icon on
yourself and Introduce Yourself To The Gnome. Talk to Innkeeper and
work through all the topics. Talk to the 3 men at the back table and
work through all the topics.
Enter your room at top of the stairs. Take a clove of GARLIC from
the strands hanging from the ceiling. Now leave your room again.
The gnome has gone. Sit down at the table, and your supper will
be brought out to you.
After supper, climb back up the stairs again. The gnome,
Punny Bones, is staying at room at the end of the hallway. Click on
door and Knock On Door. You get an electric shock before entering
the gnome’s room.
In the gnome’s room, talk to him, and work through all the
topics. You learn how Baba Yaga cursed him and took away his humour.
Use Talk Icon on yourself and Tell About Yourself. In a way,
it’s YOUR fault that Puny Bones is cursed. If Baba wasn’t ‘hopping’
mad, she wouldn’t have been insulted at Punny Bones‘s jokes. So the
least you can do is help him get his humour back. Notice that
yellow RUBBER CHICKEN perched on the corner of his bed -
take RUBBER CHICKEN. Now leave his room.
Return to your own room. Click on the bed and Rest For 60 Minutes.
Keep doing this until ‘You Are Getting Tired’. This means
it’s midnight. Leave your room.
The Domovai is here again, perched above the fireplace. Talk to
him and work through all the topics. He tells you about all the
problems in Mordavia that need a Hero’s help. When conversation is
over, return to your room.
Click on your bed and Sleep Until Morning.
Next morning, leave your room. Click on Punny Bones’s door,
Knock On Door and enter his room. Talk to him and work through all
the topics. When conversation is over, leave his room.
Now climb downstairs, and sit at the table so you can have
some breakfast. After breakfast, leave the Inn.
TOWN
A crowd has gathered outside the Burgomeister’s office. Talk to the crowd
and work through all the topics - apparently, Igor, the Gravedigger, has gone
missing, and it’s thought that he was eaten by werewolves. You also
learn that the Innkeeper’s daughter went missing quite some time ago, and
the townspeople think that werewolves are responsible for that, as well.
The gypsies have been blamed for everything, and one of them has
been brought in for ‘questioning’. The Burgomeister is trying
to make sure that the gypsy gets a fair hearing, but the crowd is
determined that the gypsy should pay for his crimes.
Enter the Burgomeister’s office. Talk to him and work through all
the topics. Use Talk Icon on yourself and Say Gypsy Is Innocent.
The gypsy is being held in the cell here. Try to talk to him
if you like, but he won’t say a word. It looks like finding Igor is
the only way to prove his innocence. Leave the Burgomiester’s
office.
Walk down twice, so you are outside the Town Gates, and SAVE YOUR
GAME HERE.
FOREST
Now… where could Igor be? Well, he’s a gravedigger. Maybe
he’s in the graveyard?
Walk down twice, right twice, then up.
GRAVEYARD
So this is Mordavia’s graveyard. Suitably spooky. Wait…
what’s that groaning noise?
Look at the fallen headstone and the open grave. Out of respect,
you should get that headstone standing up again. Okay, you’re
a powerful Magic User! Simply Cast OPEN on the
gravestone. Ooooh, there’s Igor! He was trapped underneath,
and he’s VERY glad to be free. So much for gypsy werewolves eating
Igor!
You should go back to town, and make sure that the gypsy has
been released from jail. He is innocent, after all. Leave the
graveyard.
FOREST
Go left twice, and up 3 times, so you are back in the town.
TOWN
Head up to the Burgomeister’s office, and enter his office. The
gypsy is no longer locked in the cell. Good! Now talk to

leave his office.

to him and work through all the topics. Now enter Adventurer’s Guild
on the left.
TOWN - ADVENTURER’S GUILD
Take some WEIGHTS from the pile, and use Exercise
machine. When you get tired, rest for a while, then use Exercise
machine again. Repeat this until the game won’t let you do any more for
today, then leave the Guild.
TOWN
Insert DARK ONE SIGN into the Monastery door (ignore
Igor‘s protests), and enter the Monastery.
TOWN - MONASTERY
The dehydrated Domovai is still in the cabinet on the left.
Use REHRDRATION SOLUTION on the Domovai - he’s grateful
to you for rehydrating him.
There’s nothing more you can do here, so leave the Monastery.

Walk right to the next screen. Don’t you kinda miss the old man?
I wonder if he’s with his beloved Anna now? Anyway, enter
Dr Cranium’s house.

Enter Dr Cranium’s lab. He’s feeling very proud of his

Now since it’s late, the Town Gates will be locked. Cast LEVITATE to get
over the gate.
TOWN - INN
Inside the town, head up to the Inn. This is also locked, and
everyone is asleep inside. Go to the Inn and Knock On Door.
Inside the Inn, sit down at the table for supper. After
supper, climb up stairs to your room. Sleep on your bed for 60
minutes at a time (Don’t Sleep Till Morning yet), till ‘You Are Getting
Tired’. That means it’s midnight. Now leave your room.
The Domovai is perched in his usual spot above the fireplace.
Talk to him and work through all the topics. You learn about the
Innkeepers daughter, Tanya, and her DOLL.
When conversation is over, open cabinet on the back wall, and
