Well, it's not actually "in" the secretaire, as I just saw when I replayed to that point.
Look on top.
It's a small greyish white line.
Welcome to the world of pixel hunting!

on the beach .As any one defeated the dragon

Still working on him dragonuk44. He's a tought nut to crack.
Richard

Ive emptied my flask into the bowel but I need a way to kill him befor he eats me

WOW! This game is really "taking off", fellow Boomers. I'm playing the DEMO, but I'm afraid that I'm going to need a walkthrough. If a wt becomes available, I will definitely purchase the FULL version. Meanwhile I'm still "trudging along" at the beginning. HAPPY GAMING!
Sandy

I think we all need a WT Sandy. It's a hard game I think. I like it though.
Richard

just like old times lol

I noticed that the DEMO does NOT allow loading of games once you have "quit" it. I'll just have to start over again, "Life is full of obstacles." LOL
Sandy

WELL, I 'bit the bullet" and purchased the game from GOG. When I played the DEMO, I was able somehow to get TO the "code" puzzle (at the start of the game), but I don't remember how I did it, so I'm "stuck" here. How do you get to that CODE INTERFACE in order to do the puzzle? I saved the part just after solving that puzzle in the DEMO, but those saves are NOT compatible with the FULL version (You get an error message when trying to LOAD those saves that I made in the DEMO.) Sure could use a WT right about now.
Sandy

the book on the book shelf then match the numbers in the code

Look at the book.
Notice the ISBN code is odd and may be some other kind of code.
Look at the newspaper if you haven't already.
Ord makes a comment.
Go to your bookshelf and choose the book on Chemistry.

Gil.

as any one defeated the dragon

Not me.
There is a few seconds pause after the dragon speaks to Freja.
It may mean something but I haven't figured out what if it does.

Gil.

I'm still in the running trying to defeated the dragon. Haven't figured out how.
There isn't nothing I haven't tried. If you figured it out Gil just let me know. I've looked all over for a WT but no luck.

It worked.


I see why it killed Semita but I'm still not sure about...well, maybe I'll figure out how Freja survives later.
Edit: Dumb me.


Gil.

Gil I'm in the dragons cave. Picked up some inventory items. Semita is dead I think.

I made it out of the dragon cave. I could tell you how I did it but it was really easy and don't want to spoil it for you. I'm at the island of Fardo now.
Richard

yes it worked doing a little sewing lol

Thanks, Dragon and Gil. The CHEMISTRY BOOK is the thing that I forgot about. My memory AIN'T what it used to be. LOL
Sandy

Thanks for the clues, fellow Boomers. I'm now in DAY 2(at the "estate" and standing next to the pedestal with "4 holes".

Just wondering if anybody has gone to the cabin. Really stuck.
Richard

Hey, Richard,

Long day at work, just getting back to it.
Okay, I'm sure the chess puzzle has to do with something Ord mentioned before about placing 8 Queens so none of them threaten one another.
Oh, boy, and me an ignoramus when it comes to chess - but can't a Queen move in any direction?
Maybe it's one place at a time.
I'll have to look it up.
Maybe they can be jammed up against one another so they can't move; i.e., 8 queens straight across.
Haven't tried it yet.
Maybe the King can be moved if you get the queens placed correctly.
Could the chest key be under him?

What you see through the telescope must relate to the poem.
The ancient hero is probably Hercules.
You see images of the constellations derived from the labors of Hercules, I think, in the Diary.
"All but one have gone asunder."
Well, I suppose that means only one is complete and will offer the clue to the numbers on the chest's lock.
That image on the lock looks like a harpy to me.

"Wandering from sea to sea" may have to do with what you see when you click on Chapter One

I hope you crack it because I doubt I'll have an answer soon!

Half a sec later: Ord saw that problem about the queens when he was taking a random book down from the shelf in the library.


Gil.

the 2 numbers on the chest I think have some thing to do with the teliscope when you get the correct sign .Be later tonight when I get back to it .

The correct sign is harpy 4 and 8 on the telescope. That's as far as I got. Don't know anything about chess.
Richard

I don't either, Richard, but if we need it here is a site that explains the rules.

Gil.
Hi, ho, hi, ho....

I think you have to put the ches pieces like one of the constalations

Makes sense, dragon.
I'm probably over-thinking this.
Have you tried it?

Gil.

Gil I got the chess figured out and you get the chest key.
