How do I sign on as a crew member so I can get in the engine room. You have to create an opening. This is actually the puzzle the hint I gave before applies to. I'm still confused about where I'm stuck. I have a canister of water, and it and the newspaper don't do anything useful. I don't see any cleaning supplies anywhere. SWC

I should point out I'm playing on Normal so that might be the difference, but here goes, re: engine room I had a canister of cleaning fluid and a bottle of water. I put the canister in the hole in the ice where the critter was fishing in an earlier chapter (where the Mary was wrecked), and the label came off. I then stuck that label onto the bottle of water. Since it was a yellow label (I guess?) Laylah didn't notice when I swapped the bottle of water for the bottle of brandy in the hideout.
That left me with an unlabeled canister of cleaning fluid.
And I can't for the life of me remember where I originally picked that up, either. Sorry I can't be more help.

I figured it out. It turns out this is one of the places where Normal differs from Hard: To clean the porthole on Hard, you have to re-swap the brandy bottle to get back the original bottle. Then when you examine the bottle, you notice it has fermented apple juice inside, and it's powerful enough to cut through the grime on the porthole (perhaps with the help of the newspaper, but I'd already used newspaper on the porthole several times).

Hi, new guy here.
I need some tips on the table puzzle in Chapter 4. I'm not even sure what my goal is... Any help would be appreciated! I'm new here either and need same help. Don't know/understand the table puzzle. And also having trouble with another puzzle: there is a time you have to paint a canvas for the arch-mage. Do I really need to paint it, exactly? Or there is another way? Because I’m a terrible painter, and every time I show the canvas that I paint with the grapes and bottle of wine to him, he tells me that it’s no good. Help, please!. Ya same here and it seems color needed to be blended carefully! That really hard which I'm stuck here also!Alright painting is solved and it doesn't have to perfect or color blending (see below) Addition to wine botle, grapes,leaves and cork, we need painting table and as well the background. I'm sure you know which color to use for table, check chair color and that the background

I've cleaned the window in the engine room and only have the canister of cold sea water and have no idea what to do with it or what to do next. I've obviously missed something but can't think what. I'm pretty sure \i've been everywhere with both Nate and Critter carrying it and just cannot figure it out. Help I think you have to talk to Critter to make him go into the water Hope that was it - I will try and play it again - so many things are happening in this game 
Dont tell your horse who is boss - tell him who he can trust. Should apply to dogs, kids and men too. But forget cats - they just dont care ;O)

OK I solved the table puzzle with the help of my girlfriend who has seen similar puzzles before. Let's see if I can solve the puzzle of how to post hints. :) What I wasn't getting is that the symbols around the table in some cases match the points of the star. Those are the ones you have to 'turn on' and from there it's mostly trial and error. Let me know if you need more help. I can't help with your second part because I'm still looking for materials :) I figured that out, about the "star" points, but no matter what, I can't seam to "light" my way in this puzzle. Is there an especific orther to do it? Do all the "points" need to be pressed first or do they need to be pressed in a certain order? All I know is that I have rotated the 3 circles at least 3000 times each!!! I'm stuck in this puzzle for 3 days now!!!

Uruboo - you have to press the outer ring until it lights up and then the next and so on. Hope that helps

I need a nudge! I am trying to get out of jail and keep trying to use the hose with the corkscrew but it won't let me, due to the fact it would make to much noise with the chain going over the pipe. I can't separate the corkscrew (at least I don't know how to do it) all I have left is the compact and a couple of noise makers.  Thanks in advance! Great game

Has anyone gotten past the Chapter 4 painting puzzle yet? Is there a trick to it, or is the game just incredibly picky? Do you paint the table? Do you paint the background (and if so, which color)?
I've painted the picture ten times now, and my enthusiasm for painting it again is pretty close to zero.
SWC Read my post made to Dragonchasers, it's leads to the answer!

I'm stuck on the table puzzle to. Richard If you talking table from top floor then read below: The puzzle has two parts, star and next one symbols. Look carefully at shapes and press buttons accordingly, for next one you'll see series of shapes, look carefully and at some point you should see all shapes that needed to be press (buttons at once). Of course, you need rotating table until!

Great game As far as I remember, you have to keep nagging the ork until she puts something in he ears. Cant remember if you do it just by talking or use the horn, though

I'm stuck in this puzzle for 3 days now!!! It sounds like UruBoo is playing on Hard. For that case: You just need to light the right star buttons. There isn't any order to it. For the rings, you need to create a route from the lighted starting points to the center. The easiest way to do this is to notice on the outer ring that there are two starting points that connect to each other but not to the middle ring. These two points can only go at the top of the puzzle. Once you've placed the outer ring, it's easy to go through all of the possibilities of the inner two rings until you get the solution. SWC

Sorry, can't delete the post so I'm editing it. I'm moving forward again and my previous post was such a ramble and non-specific that I'm wiping it out.
