This is the complete walkthrough for the very good game The Longest Journey. This is a game I really liked to play and it was really entertaining. The game has many little things you have to solve and it was these tiny things I used most of the time to solve. The rest of the puzzles were not of the hardest I’ve tried and most of them can be solved by just using logic. The same goes for the dialogue between the characters. Think logically before giving your answer and you will not answer the wrong way.
Also, only use this walkthrough if you’re really stuck. Try to solve the puzzles yourself first, and you will get so much more out of the game since I’ve only written the solve for things you HAVE to do, and not all the characters to talk to or things to explore that makes the game more fun to play. And remember that no matter what you get into, April can never die (pretty cool quality if you ask me) and because of that, the game will never end in a dangerous situation.
The walkthrough can be freely distributed as long as my name is not removed or the walkthrough changed without my approval.
Well, that’s enough talk, let’s get on with the game. Have fun.
Prologue
The prologue is simple, not much to do here.
Go to the right, break the branch off the tree and talk to its "voice" before you grab an eggshell from the nest.
Go further to the right and use the branch and eggshell with the little stream.
Talk to the "voice" again.
Chapter One – Prenumbra
Take the diary and the photograph from the nightstand.
Take a closer look at the diary and find a list.
Open the closet and take the monkey from the box.
Look closer at the monkey and pick its eye out.
Open the window and look out.
Loosen the string, so that it falls in the water.
Walk out the door.
In the dark corner to the right, pick a leaf from the plant.
Go down the stairs to the first floor and take the pink note from the bulletin board.
Read the note.
Give the note to Fiona.
Take the matches on the table.
Go out and find your way to the academy.
Take the glove from the trash can and go upstairs.
Take the palette and start painting.
Go to the coffee shop and talk to Charlie (behind the counter) and take some candy from the jar.
Go further in and talk to Stan. (This is a REALLY nice guy. He’s fat too.)
Nag about getting your salary and threaten to quit. (Now that’s better.)
Take a look at the poster next to the jukebox and take a ticket from it.
Look closer at the ticket and look at the address on the side.
Take some bread from the table.
Go back to the boardinghouse and look at the machine outside.
Use the ring with the two wires without a connection.
Now you have to get the switches to get on a straight line. The big round switch to the left holds one of the switches still, while the other turns the three others around.
When you get it right, turn the cap on the ventilator and turn the wheel. Then take the pincers from the hose.
Go to April’s room and look out the window.
Use the bread on the blue duck and see "Donald" fly away.
Pull the chain to get up the string.
Go back to the coffee shop and pick up the duck.
Look at the duck in closeup and remove the plaster.
Go to the subway, buy a pass for a week and then catch the train to Café Roma.
Talk to Cortéz and head back to the boardinghouse to talk to Mickey and Fiona.
If you answered yes about working, go to the coffee shop. If not, head back to your room.
Chapter Two – Through the mirror
Talk to Fiona and ask her where Cortéz could be before you go back upstairs and ask Zack the same thing.
At the subway, look at the sparks by the railway. April finds out that it’s a key.
Blow up the duck and place it on the pincers and then the string.
[In some versions of the game, there's a bug that screws this up if you do this in closeup. The smartest thing is to do this right in the inventory screen, or else the game will show the pincers without the string. A patch fixes this, and I don’t know if this is the case with the English version, but you'd probably better save before you do this anyway.]
Get the key with your "fishing pole."
Take the subway and find the cinema (to the right from the subway and to the right.)
Push the trash can to reveal some green goo. Put some candy in it.
Talk to the Bogart-style detective and give him the candy you "treated."
Take the hat in the middle of the street in the last screen (to the left).
Go back and use the key with the electricity box to open it.
Use the plaster on the rubber glove and use it with the broken wire in the box.
Follow the janitor to the back alley and go towards the door.
Put the monkey on the trash pile and the hat further up on the same pile.
Open the trashcan and use the matches on it afterwards.
Go inside and talk to Cortéz.
Talk to the priest.
Look around the city before you go back and talk to the priest until he tells you that Westhouse is called the "Rolling Man" here.
Talk to the man selling maps and become his errand-boy (sorry, errand-girl).
Deliver the map to Captain Nebevé at the boat by the docks and try to get him to sign.
Go back to the city gate and buy a flute from the stand.
Go back to Nebevé and give him your list again.
Talk to the old man at the small dock.
Go back to the map dealer and give him your delivery list and go to Westhouse.
Give Westhouse the map (and get him to sign), then talk to him.
When you try to leave, he just remembers to give you a old clock.
Use the drawing pin on the clock.
Chapter Three – Friends and foes
Talk to the minister in the cathedral.
Find Warren Hughes and ask him for help.
Take the subway to the police station and look at the road block (the control panel).
Look at the street sign.
Go back to the road block and enter the number on the sign, then climb in the dumpster.
Look at the toolbox and take the paper inside it.
Look at the paper and talk to the workers in the chairs to the left (yep, the one with the way too small T-shirt and the doofus next to him).
Give the form to the workers.
Ask the receptionist for Form 09042. Give the form to the workers.
Ask the receptionist for Form 09042-A and give it to the workers.
Look at the nearest telephone screen and call to it from the other one.
Go to the workers and tell them both that there is someone one the phone for them.
Take the screwdriver and fix the cables (How long would those two take to find out that?).
Try to get inside.

Give Minelli his medicine and talk to him about his wife. (Hmm…what’s this all about?)
Push the light switch and replace the glass eye with the eye from the monkey when it falls out.
Go out and use the glass eye with the scanner on the door to the right of the vending machine.
Go inside the archives and search for Warren Hughes in the computer.
Look at his sister’s colonization number before you delete the info about Warren and print it out.
Search for the colonization number and print out the info.
Search for Altec’s church and look at the name "Jacob McAllen." Search for him.
Go to the next page and look at (and write down for yourself) the code in the lower corner.

Use the piece of mirror with the laser beam and get the AG-unit (the blinking thing) loose with the screwdriver.
Get back to Burns and give him the AG-unit.
Go to the cathedral and talk to Cortéz.
Chapter Four – Monsters
Go inside the house and talk to the woman. Go inside the kitchen and after a little while a pretty weird-looking fellow enters. Talk to him. Then go back to the kitchen and when April says that she's tired, go sit in the chair.
Talk to the map dealer and give him the delivery list.
Go to the other stand and play the cup game.
Use the screwdriver on the cups until one of them moves. There’s the coin.
The bozo gets pissed and says you used magic to trick him. Offer him your screwdriver in exchange for one of his prizes.
April says she needs some time to think about what to pick. At this part it’s important to get April to understand exactly what to pick. (Pretty clear to me, but what the heck.) So go talk to Tobias about books and where you can read them.
Then talk to the weird creature in the tree house and Westhouse who tells you about a people called "the flying people."
Go to the library and ask Yerin for a book you don’t know the name of, but which is about flying people.

Go to the old man at the small dock and ask if he knows some stories about Alais and the flying people.
Talk to the captain and ask him if he knows the island Alais.
Go back to the old man and talk to him again.
April agrees with the old man that if she gets his bird back, she will be taken to Alais.
Go to the cup game stand and exchange the screwdriver for the bird (pretty cool one too).
Talk to Captain Nebevé and ask what he needs to get sailing.
You get to know that some guy named Roper Klakks has captured the wind (okay…). So we get into the woods to get the wind back (how hard could that be?)
Go inside the forest and you'll be accompanied by a raven.
Go further into the woods and you’ll meet a banda looking for his missing brother.
Call for Raven.

Open the door next to the mirror.

When you try to go up the stairs you meet Roper Klakks. Give him the calculator.
Take the white, yellow, green and blue bottles (you will have to move the skull to get one of them off the table).
Read the formula book.
Mix the white, green and blue bottles to get a invisibility mixture (it’s really important that you get the mix in that exact order).
Go back to the mirror in the labyrinth and use the mixture on April so she can get the rest of the page for the formula book in front of it.
Use the page with the book.

Go back to the city and take the crystal.
Remove the seagrass to the left in the screen outside the airbobble and take the crystal.
Remove more seagrass and go inside the cave and take the two last crystals.
Look at the altar of stone in the middle of the cave.

Head back to the city and show the sea creature the tooth and the talisman.
Go back to the cave and use the talisman on the symbol on the wall.

Chapter Eight – Reunion
Take the rope on the beach.
Call for Raven and get him to get an overview of the island by using him on the jungle.
Go talk to the branchmen (go to the big statues and look at the tree, and it will be available).
Go to the ruins (left of the beach) and use the rope on the little tree and climb down.
Go further down the cave and take the key in the pile of rocks.
Take the rope with you when you leave.
Go inside the cave (the mouth) in the big statue to see the symbol that belongs to each phone.
Now you’re going to set up the phones so that they will wake up the giant Q’aman and can be done like this:  the trick here is to set up the phones in a special way so that the mouth on the phone by the tree hits the ear of the phone on the cliff (right for the beach, and through the village--take a look at the suffering crab while you’re there), and from the mouth on the phone on the cliff to the ear of the one at the ruins. From there turn the mouth so that it hits the mouth of the statue so that your voice goes all over the island and wakes up Q’aman.
Use the key to turn the ears and mouths. If you turn it one way, you will move the mouth and the other way turns the ears. Now talk into the phone at the tree. This may take a while, but just try in different angels and you will get it right in the end.
Wake up Q’aman and get him to tell you where he is.
Get Q’aman to help the crab in the village.
Talk to Q’aman and give him the empty candy wrapper.
Go back to the tree and ask the branchmen why they haven’t started working yet.
Follow them up the tree and talk to them again.

Give the fishing string to the branchmen.
Use the fish bones with the fishing string and ask the branchmen to test the lunacannon.
Use the string with the lunacannon and climb over to the mountain path.
Use the wind mixture with the upwind by the cliffside.
Use the light-as-a-feather mixture with April and jump over the gap.
Go inside the city and talk to the guard by the castle (or something like that).  He wants you to answer some questions about some fables, so we’re gonna have to collect some. The first one you hear from Seana (the kid), the other from Neema (by the pots), the third from the old alterer right outside the city and the last one from the guard by the gap you jumped over (Isam).
Go back to the guard outside the castle and answer the incredibly easy questions (if you get these wrong, I just have to congratulate you).
Dig in the sand right in front of you and touch the big rock.
Talk to the organ that opens and swim inside the new organ that appears.
Touch the outgrowth and take the jewel with you.
Chapter Nine – Shadows
Talk to the minister and go back to the boardinghouse.
You’ll get surprised by some people from the banner and they shoot down Emma.

Drink the invisible mixture to get past the guard in front of the door.
Run to the coffee shop. You’ll get surrounded (of course).

Use the computer to get your hands on the stone and jewels.
Go back to talk to Burns for the last time.
Go back to Metro Circle and take the elevator.

Go through the pockets on the jacket hanging on the chair.
Look at the computer in the corner next to the control board.
Look at the control board and send the guards at the cell department off duty (in some cases you’ll have to send other guards off duty before you can send off the ones you want or else they'll tell you that someone already has a break).
Go to the cell department and use the key at the lock by cell 5 and open the cell.
Talk to Adrian the guardian and go to exit 2 (the control room).
Order the guard at the shuttle bay off guard and take Adrian there.
Look at the capsule and its control panel that shows that the oxygen filters missing.
Go back to the control room (exit 2) and have the guard at the storeroom to take a brake.
Go to the storage room and search for the oxygen filters in the computer terminal.
The filters can be located right behind the first pile of boxes.
Go back to the control room and send the guard at the shuttle bay off duty (what cool duty times these guys have).
Go to the shuttle bay and use the oxygen filters on the capsule.
Press the yellow button that suddenly lights up and get "lost in space..." but why are there three capsules?

Look at Adrian’s capsule and go further towards the tower.
Use the talisman and the magic binding mixture with the chaosphere.
Go to the other side.
Suddenly we're home as a little girl with that jerk of a father right in front of us. Give Dad the ring.
When you’re by the tower, call for Raven and use him on the gap between you and the tower. Then use him on the construction in the middle.

You’ll get a little surprise up in the tower and Gordon Halloway suddenly appears.
Use the talisman on Gordon.
Congratulations. You have completed The Longest Journey and a very disappointing epilogue follows. (At least I think so). They could have made that much better. What happened to Emma and Charlie, and did April and Charlie become "closer" to each other? Well, at least we see why the old lady knew so much about us in chapter nine. Just think about it, you’ll figure it out.
This walkthrough was written from the Norwegian version of the game. This should not affect the game other than some names and some other tiny stuff. If you should find any errors anyway or you have some questions about it, feel free to contact me at   HYPERLINK "mailto:cyberia@x-stream.no"  cyberia@x-stream.no
I hope you had as much fun with the game as I did.
