            Flight of the Amazon Queen - Part 2
                   A solution by Roy Sims
    Played on the IBM PC (but also valid for the Amiga)

(1) Theatre of Traps

Trapped in a cheap theatre in downtown Rio, your first task is
to escape and stop Anderson before he flies off with Faye Russel.
Have a good look around the room. The only items of interest at
the moment are the two sheets that lie on the floor near the
radiator. However, you might as well pull (use) the curtain cord
and take the wig that is revealed behind the curtain whilst you
are here. Now take both sheets and tie them together. Now use
them on the radiator. You now have a way of escaping down the
laundry chute, so use it to drop down into the next location.
(You can try knocking on the window to get the attention of
your friend Sparky outside, but he won't see or hear you so
there's no real point).

Move the ladder then climb up and take a crowbar from the box on
top, then swipe a pair of comedy breasts and climb back down the
ladder. The right hand red door (with the star) is locked. Try
leaving via the left hand door instead. You will end up in the
foyer of the Hotel. The two hoodlums, Rico and Eddy are standing
by the entrance so there's no escape that way. Have a look at the
key on the reception desk. It belongs to Lola. Talk to the
Bellboy and persuade him that you are Lola's friend and that she
asked you to get her key. Thankfully the bellboy is gullible and
he allows you to take it. Now go back down the stairs you came
up and unlock the red door with the key. Now enter the room.

Lola isn't very pleased to see you. Tell her you need her help
to escape from the Theatre. She will eventually agree to help you,
if you get her a towel so she can dry off after her shower. Nip
back up the laundry chute and use the crowbar on the chest by the
curtains. Inside it you will find a towel. Return to Lola's
dressing room and give her the towel. In return she gives you a
red dress and asks you to leave.

You now have all that you need to get past the hoodlums. Wear the
dress, the comedy breasts and the wig. Now walk back up the
stairs that lead to the foyer. A cut scene will now introduce you
to the crazed plans of Dr. Ironstein and his Dino Ray
experiments. Back in the Theatre, just walk past Rico and Eddy and
head for the truck which is outside. Once the truck has started
moving off, Rico will realise what's happened and they will give
chase.

Pick up the hay in the back of Sparky's truck to find a can of
oil. Now use this on Rico's car which is gradually catching up
with you. The oil spill will force them off the road and allow
you to reach Anderson and your 'plane before he takes off. An
argument will start between you and Anderson as Faye watches on.
Trade insults for a while and you will end up knocking Anderson
out with just one punch. Sparky will then urge you to hurry as
a storm is brewing.


(2) Amazonian Crash

Later on, the Amazon Queen is struck by lightning over the
Amazonian Jungle and plummets into a lake below. Faye Russel
isn't too pleased about this turn of events. Water is pouring
into the 'plane at an alarming rate. Open the duffle bag on the
floor and look inside it to find a knife and a lighter. Also look
at the seats and you will find a soggy coupon from one of
Sparky's treasured "Commander Rocket" comics.

Open the hatch then walk through it. You will see some piranha
fish leaping about in the water outside the boat. Go back inside
the 'plane and talk to Sparky. When you can ask him about
supplies and he will offer you some beef jerky. Accept some then
return back outside. Step onto the giant lilypad, then give the
jerky to the fish. They will eat the beef and leave you alone.
It's now safe to pick up the propeller that is floating in the
water nearby. Try using the propeller as an oar on the lilypad.
You will find it is attached to a stem under the water, so use
the knife to cut it first. Now use the propeller as an oar to row
you, Sparky and Faye to the river bank nearby.  You will tell both
of them to stay by the bank whilst you go for help. Sparky will
ask you to get him a replacement comic book.  Now walk down the
screen along the path until you reach the broken rope bridge which
spans the rapids. A banana tree is on the other side, but you
can't get to it right now. You can't do much here at the moment,
so turn round and head back, this time going up the screen when
you are back with Sparky and Faye.

You are now on a new jungle path. A parrot will start talking to
you, repeating a message about someone being held captive. The
bird also mentions Trader Bob. He will eventually fly off into
the Jungle. There's also a swinging vine here, so use your knife
to cut it down. Now return to the rope bridge and use the vine
on the support rope to repair it. Now you can take that banana.
It could prove to be useful later on. Now continue your
exploration of the jungle, following the path where you saw the
parrot.


You will now encounter a Gorilla. If you try and head for the
Pinnacle in the distance, the Gorilla will stop you. Don't waste
the banana on the Gorilla. Instead, try talking to him.
Eventually, you should start asking him about how a gorilla can
be in the Amazon Jungle when they originate in Africa. This will
confuse the Gorilla and he will disappear in a puff of logic. Now
proceed up to the Pinnacle. A cut scene will show Faye getting
very annoyed and storming off into the jungle on her own, (but
only after she throws a bottle of perfume into the water in a
tantrum).

(You will return to the Pinnacle quite a few times throughout
your adventure. From here you can see a number of locations. You
can make the quick trip simply by pointing at the location and
choosing it as your next destination).

From up on the Pinnacle you can see a place named Trader Bob's.
Since the parrot mentioned this, it seems logical to go there
first. When you arrive you can ignore the tall pygmy and head
straight for Trader Bob's shop which is on the other side of the
village. The Hair Hunter and Witch Doctor don't speak english,
and you can't speak in their tongue at the moment, so it's best
if you leave them alone for now.

Inside Trader Bob's you will see the parrot again, and meet
Trader Bob and his assistant, Naomi. After a brief conversation
about the parrot's message, Bob will ask you to help him find
Princess Azura. You should agree to help. Bob will then tell you
all about Floda, the Lederhosen Company and his suspicions that
they are behind the kidnapping. Take this opportunity to talk to
Naomi, and she will tell you about the missionaries in the
jungle.

Before you leave, give the remainder of your beef jerky to Trader
Bob (you did notice the empty Beef Jerky jar on the counter
didn't you?). He will give some money for it. Now talk again to
Naomi. If you didn't ask before, talk about the hair dresser out
front. Eventually she will mention she is nervous about a date
out with Bob tonight. You now have a small quest to find Naomi
a bottle of perfume. In return she will give you a pair of
scissors. Asking her about the vacuum cleaner will also give you
some handy hints for a later use for the device.

As you've probably guessed by now, you need to talk back and
forth between these two characters quite a lot to glean useful
information and a few small quests. If you talk to Bob about
Naomi, he will mention the fact that he needs flowers for his
date tonight. If you ask him generally about the things he sells,
he will mention something about 'special' customers. Learn more
about this as you need to be in Bob's good books later on.

The visit to Trader Bob has given you lots of things to do. You
need to find some perfume, some flowers, and you need to visit
Floda at some point to look for the Princess. Try going back to
the crash site (via the Pinnacle). En route you should witness
another cut scene, showing the evil Professor asking for a
progress report on the search for the Crystal Skull, which will
allow him into the Valley of Mists. Anyway, when you get back to
the crash site, try getting the perfume bottle out of the water.
You don't fancy putting your arm in the water in case the piranhas
are hungry again. You need something to get them out with. Didn't
Trader Bob have some nets? Unfortunately, they are only given to
his 'special' customers, so we need to find his flowers first.

Ask Sparky where Faye has gone. Now let's go exploring. Go to the
Pinnacle and walk to the jungle area. Now walk right, ignoring
the "Salvashun" sign for now. You will come to a waterfall. A
fish is going crazy trying to catch a colourful flying beetle
which is flying above the water, just out of its reach.
Unfortunately, you can't grab it either at the moment, so just
walk on to the right. You will now encounter the Gorilla for a
second time, except this time he's dressed up in an obviously
fake pink and blue spotted dinosaur outfit! Again it's very easy
to get rid of him. Just mentioning he doesn't exist should do the
trick. Before you walk through the hollow log he was guarding,
go down instead to meet the Missionaries.
