First of all, it must be one of the best adventure game of the year if there isn't so much bugs in it. The story is great but some actors are poorand the graphic is horrible ( especially the human ). You can play in anyorder you want but I'll explain the best order which includes everything. Now get on with the game :DAY #1Main goals : Get a roomFirst go into the city. Talk to Leroy ( the old drunk ). Talk to him untilhe drops a jug. Get it. Walk straight to the city. A dog will block you. There's a Chinese man who'll help you up. Listen for his help ( actually hisname is HELP ). He'll give you a ring if you ask him for help. Go back to outside of the city. Get bone on your right side. Give it to the dog. Talk to Jackalope Jack, the man with "Oooh Oooh" sound ( that's annoying ).He'll give you a card if you don't insult him ( for example : by not flirtingwith Marleen, his girlfriend ). Read paper in front of news office.Now head up to Harddrive. Talk to Gus, the bartender. Ask for "Fruthy Prairie Oyster Daiquiri" ( that's a strange name for drink ). He'll introduce you to Nate. Now you must gain moneys by playing either blackjack, poker or slot machine. I think blackjack will get you easy money. Just save your game when you're winning and restore when you're losing. Gain for $1000 or so. When you play poker you can use the card from Jackalope for cheating. You can get some info after playing poker.Talk to Oona, the Harddrive owner. Give her the ring. Now go upstairs. Talk to Ruby in room 4. Follow this order : - ... but I kiss better - No, just my bare appetite. - How would I know if they're ripe ? - Just like some people I know. - I thought so at the time ... - Would a bath change your mind ? - Goodbye, miss.Voila, and she'll give you a key to backdoor. You can get it also from Sophiein room 2 by talking to her first, but you need to talk to Ruby later. So get it from her. Talk with Sophie. Praise her and she'll happy to meet you again.Get out from Harddrive and find Mrs. Macintosh. Talk to her but refuse to stayat her house. Find Bloodstone, the guy in blue suit. Talk to him. Take his cigar. Follow him to hotel. There's must be a room now. Pay the money and wait.You can follow McGill upstairs to hear things from room 3 by knocking at the door, talk to Mr. Riviera in room #1, get some money at the couch downstairs, talk toLaurel the ranger, and gain info from Bloodstone by praise him. Either way wait until the cashier shows up.He'll give you a message from Jackalope. Go outside, follow him. You'll meetthe Blecher. Fight with him. Hints : hit him in the face rapidly. That's allfor day #1. Back to hotel and take a nap.Note : you can also sleep in Mayor house by accepting Mrs. Macintosh's offer,       but you can't see the Blecher if you do that. I think that's not the        best way.DAY #2MorningMain goals : Get boots and gunTalk to Jackalope in front of your room. Talk to Mr. Riviera in room #1. Go downstairs.

All the information are in there. I willexplain it for you. There are four rooms inside, from the black book you candecide that the order are : flute, dagger, mask and silver.Now heading up in the dark until you reach a room with a dial in the center.Arrange the 3 dial in this order, from pointer to center. Look symbol and thehints in the black book.I think the room order are free, you can do any order you like first : Winter, Mask, Spring, or Summer.Winter : Read the flute part in the black book  * Winter symbol, 3/4 moon, morning    Hints : "... a cold dark WINTER"            "It was MORNING when ..."  * Enter the passage with winter symbol on the arch to a new room  * The flute puzzle :      - Click on the device on the right      - Put flute in the hole      - Play the rhythm you hear while Nate is playing the flute        From top to bottom : 3,5,2,4,1Summer : Read the dagger part  * Summer symbol, no moon, noon    Hints : "... from winter to cruel SUMMER"            "Attack serpent at NOON"  * Enter the passage with summer symbol on the arch to a new room  * The dagger puzzle :      - This one is very tricky and tough too, I'll tell you the trick      - Turn around and push the knob      - The main idea is to arrange the pictureTrick for dagger puzzle :  1) Turn the face so it is "straight", then (mentally, or on paper) number  the tiles, starting at the TOP (#1) going around clockwise (#4 will be on  the BOTTOM). 2) Look at the first tile down from the top on the RIGHT side  (#2), if it is OK leave it alone, if not - turn the BOTTOM one (#4)  clockwise, a click at a time, until it (#2) is lined up in the pattern. BUT  - every time you turn the bottom tile one click, the face moves - so you  have to turn him back (counter-clockwise) to "straight" - this keeps the  tiles in their places after you have moved them. 3) Check the TOP tile  (#1), if it needs adjusting, move the one to the RIGHT of the bottom (#3)  as in Step # 2, being sure to keep the face "straight" so you don't lose  the tiles you have corrected. 4) Check the tile to the LEFT of the top one  (#6), use the tile (#2) to the RIGHT of the TOP to make corrections. 5)  Keep this up, moving the tiles in order, i.e.: #4 fixes #2, #3 fixes #1, #2  fixes #6, #1 fixes #5, and #6 fixes #4 (the BOTTOM tile), until all the  pattern is correct. Then hit the knob.Mask : Read the mask part  * Fall symbol, 1/4 moon, midnight    Hints : "... season from summer to autumn ( fall ) ..."            "At midnight then Yunni ..."  * Enter the passage with fall symbol on the arch  * Mask puzzle :      - This on is the easiest puzzle, just use your mask to point the way      - The mask eye turn green when it's point the way to skeleton      - Put the mask on the skeleton at the center ( not the moving skeleton )    Hints : "The mask allowed voice's spirit to see through the evil spirit             and SHOW HIM THE REAL PATH to his resting place."Spring : Read the silver ornament part  * Spring symbol, full moon, morning    Hints : "The spring following ..."            "Until one morning ..."  * Enter the passage with spring symbol on the arch  * Silver puzzle :      - Click the panel and put the silver in the recess      - Arrange this symbol from left to right : Mesa Bird Open Evil Sky    Hints : Read the story about 'MESA BIRD' make the sky rain again or you            can say that OPEN EVIL SKYThen you'll meet the good spirit in front of the dial. Talk with him and he'lltell you the arrangement of the dial to send you back to your time. These arethe order :  - Spring symbol, Full moon, MidnightBloodstone will shows up and threaten you. After the sequence, click at thepanel and use the silver in the recess. Use this order on symbol :  - Mesa Bird Kill Evil ManAnd then Bye Bye BloodstoneDAY #5Go straight to the entrance of the city and make a choice on your own.  - Follow Marrie   - Business with Nate  - Business with Mayor  - Give treasure to Sonoma ( This one is the best choice, I think )  - Go awayThat's it folks, the legend of DUST.
