6 ... Isle of the Mists

Problem:
Where is the Isle of the Mists?

Hint:
The Isle of the Mists will not appear on your magic map until you
have made it through the Catacombs on the Isle of the Sacred
Mountain.



Problem:
What things must I gather from the Isle of the Mists?

Hint:
On your first visit go to the Village. You will need the Scythe
from the tree and the lump of coal from the campfire.  On your
second visit to the island, go to the grove scene and use the
Skull that you took from the Catacombs on the base of the fire to
collect some glowing embers.

Problem:
How do I avoid being killed by the Druids?

Hint:
On your first visit to the Isle of the Mists walk west from the
beach to the village.  Take the objects you need and go back the
same way. Do NOT walk northeast from the beach, or east from the
village. To avoid being killed by the Druids on your second visit,
you must have the Hunter's Lamp with you, and it must be enchanted


with the Make Rain spell. The Hunter's Lamp can be found on the
Isle of the Beast. Please note: If you have Beauty's slave clothes
with you, they will be burned up.

7 ... Realm of the Dead.

Problem:
How do I get to the Realm of the Dead?

Hint:
Any time you die you will enter the Realm of the Dead. However,
you won't be able to do anything there except restore your game!
The only way to get into the Realm and survive is to ride the
black horse, Night Mare. Night Mare can be found at the top of the
Logic Cliffs, after you have journeyed to the Isle of the Mists
twice. Once you see Night Mare, cast the Creature of the Night
spell on her. She will take you to the Realm of the Dead.


Problem:
Who should I talk to in the Realm of the Dead?

Hint:
Talk to King Calipham, Queen Alaria, and the Mother Ghost. The
King and Queen are on the first surface scene. The Mother Ghost is
on the second surface scene.

Problem:
Help! I keep getting killed by zombies!

Hint:
The zombies aren't very fast and can be easily avoided. Don't let
them get too close to you or they will eat you.

Problem:
How do I get past the Key Master?



Hint:
Click the Hand cursor on the bone xylophone to the right of the
screen. When the skeleton dance is over, pick up the Key Master's
key.

Give him the ticket that Queen Alaria gave you.

Problem:
What do I do with the dead knight?

he'll take you across the River Styx.  You can find the Coins in
the Catacombs on the Isle of the Sacred Mountain.

Problem:
What is the answer to the Living Gate's riddle?

Hint:
The answer is L-O-V-E.

Problem:
The Lord of the Dead keeps killing me!

Hint:
The Lord of the Dead will not talk to you until you challenge him.

challenge.

8 ... Spells and Spellbook

Problem:
How do I use the spell book?

Hint:
Open the book by clicking the Hand cursor on it in your inventory.
Use the Arrow cursor on the far right or left sides of the pages
to turn them. Read the spells carefully. You should be looking for
all the ingredients. To cast a spell, you must have all of the
ingredients prepared in advance and have the creature or thing you
intend to enchant at hand. Once you are prepared, open the Spell
book, find the correct spell, and click the Cast icon over the
incantation.

Problem:
Where do I get the ingredients for the Make Rain spell?



Hint:
The container for the spell is the Hunter's Lamp from the boiling
pond scene on the Isle of the Beast. The "Salt Water not from the
Sea" is collected from the Baby's Tears on the Isle of Wonder. The
Oracle's Vial with Sacred Water is from the Isle of the Sacred
Mountain and is given to you as a reward for defeating the
Minotaur. The "Falling Water" is from the fountain on the Isle of
the Beast.

Problem:
How do I prepare and cast the Make Rain spell?

Hint:
You will need to prepare the Make Rain spell before visiting the
Isle of the Mists a second time. Combine the ingredients first.
The list of ingredients is in the spell book. The object you are
going to enchant is the Hunter's Lamp.  Add Baby's tears to the
Hunter's Lamp. Use the Oracle's Vial on the lamp to add sacred
water.  Use the lamp on the Beast's fountain to fill it with
falling water. Make sure you add the ingredients in the correct
order. Open the spell book.  Turn the page to the Make Rain spell.
Use the Cast icon on the incantation to cast the spell.

Problem:
Where do I get the ingredients for the Charming a Creature of the
Night spell?

Hint:
The hair is from Cassima's hair Ribbon. Sing-Sing the nightingale
will bring you the Ribbon on the Isle of the Crown. If you don't
get the ribbon, you can find a strand of hair in Beauty's Clothes.
The Skull is from the Catacombs on the Isle of the Sacred
Mountain. The Embers are from the Druid's fire on the Isle of the
Mists. The Spoiled Egg is from Chessboard Land on the Isle of
Wonder.

Spoiled Egg to the skull. Open the Spell book. Turn the page to
the Creature of the Night spell. Use the Cast icon on the
incantation to cast the spell.

Problem:
Where do I get the ingredients for the Magic Paint spell?

Hint:
The Teacup will appear in the garden on the Isle of Wonder after
you have the spell book. The Swamp Ooze is from the swamp on the
Isle of Wonder. The River Styx water is from the River Styx, in
the Realm of the Dead. The Black Feather is from the beach on the



Isle of the Sacred Mountain. The paintbrush is from the pawn shop
on the Isle of the Crown.

Cast the Magic Paint spell on the outside wall of the Castle of
the Crown, on the Isle of the Crown. Combine the ingredients

Feather on the Teacup to stir the ingredients. Use the paintbrush
on the side of the castle wall. Open the spell book. Turn the page
to the Magic Paint spell. Use the Cast icon on the incantation to
cast the spell.




9 ... The Castle

Problem:
How do I avoid the Guard Dogs?

Hint:
Stay away from the Guard Dogs. If they catch you, they will throw
you into the dungeon. You might be able to dodge the dogs by using
the Wind-Up Nightingale from the Pawn Shop to distract them. The
pillars can be an effective hiding place. To hide behind a pillar
click the hand icon on it.

Problem:
I'm in the dungeon! What do I do?

Hint:
If you have wandered into the dungeons and have met the Little Boy
Ghost, give him the Ghost Handkerchief from the Mother Ghost in
the Realm of the Dead. Be sure to listen to what the boy ghost has
to say. If you've been thrown into the dungeon by the Guard Dogs
and have made friends with Jollo, he will help you escape the
first time. If you have been captured a second time and have the
Skeleton Key from the Realm of the Dead you can use it to escape.
If you are caught a third time, haven't made friends with Jollo,
and don't have the Skeleton Key, you will have to restore your
game to an earlier point.

Problem:
What do I do if I encounter Jollo?

Hint:
Jollo won't talk to you unless you made friends with him on the
Isle of the Crown. If you are friends, talk to him. He has some
good advice. Give him the replica of the Genie's lamp you bought
from the Lamp Seller.

Problem:
How do I get into the Vizier's Bedroom?


Hint:
Find the door in the upstairs hallway. It is the first one on the
West wall.  There is a secret passage to the room too!

Problem:
Where is the secret passage? How do I use it?

Hint:
Find the suit of armor in the North basement hallway. Use the Hand
cursor on the suit's right arm. Once in the passageway, examine
any chinks in the wall you come across.  You will recognize the
chinks in the wall by the light streaming through them.  Listen to
everything you hear -- part of a puzzle is revealed this way.
Find and enter the Vizier's bedroom.  Find and talk to Cassima.
The chink in the wall of Cassima's room is located at the top of
the stairs. The chink in the wall of the Vizier's study is located
down the hall.  In order to use the Secret Passage, you must have
given the Ghost Handkerchief to the Little Boy Ghost in the
dungeon.

Problem:
What do I do in the Vizier's Bedroom?

Hint:
Open the ebony box on the dresser and read the note. Open the
trunk.

Problem:
How do I open the Vizier's trunk?

Hint:
You can open the trunk with either the Skeleton Key from the Realm
of the Dead, or you can use a nail. To obtain a nail, find the
picture on the wall behind a pillar upstairs. Remove the picture
from the wall. Take the nail from the wall and use it to open the
trunk. Be sure to put the nail and picture back when you're done!
Once you've opened the trunk, take the incriminating letter from
inside it.


Problem:
Where is Cassima?

Hint:
Cassima's door is in the north hall upstairs.

Problem:
What do I do when I find Cassima?

Hint:
Click the Talk cursor on her door to speak to her. If you have
found her by means of the secret passageway, click the Talk cursor
on the chink in the wall.  Give her the dagger Lady Celeste gave
you. Click the dagger on Cassima's door or the chink in the wall
depending on how you reached her.  Do it fast, or you will be
caught by the guards!




Problem:
How do I enter the locked storeroom?

Hint:
The storeroom door is magically protected. You have to Talk to the
door to get it to open. When the keypad comes up, enter in the
strange word you overheard in the secret passageway. Then enter
the word that you found in the Vizier's ebony box. Together, the
magic words are A-L-I-Z-E-B-U. Once you enter, uncover the table
and look at each of the items on it.

Problem:
I keep getting run through by Captain Saladin! How do I get past
him?

Hint:
You must give him the incriminating letter you found in the
Vizier's room quickly!


10 ... The Wedding

Problem:
How do I stop the wedding?

Hint:
Once inside the wedding area, step forward and/or speak to the
Vizier or Cassima. If you have been to the Realm of the Dead and
rescued the King and Queen of the Green Isles, they will enter and
help you. Use the magic mirror on Cassima. The mirror will reveal
that Cassima is really the Genie in disguise.  The Genie will
attack. Avoid the Genie's spells by following the Vizier through
the door to the top of the tower.

Problem:
How do I defeat the Genie?

Hint:
When the Genie appears in the top of the tower and you happened to
have given Jollo a lamp earlier in the game, you can use the lamp
to trap the Genie.  Otherwise, you must use the Peppermint Leaves
from the cave at the top of the Logic Cliffs to confuse him. You
will not be able to defeat the Genie in the wedding area, only at
the top of the tower.

Problem:
How do I defeat the Vizier?

Hint:
Take the heavy sword from the wall and attack him. Cassima must
have a dagger.  If you run into trouble, Cassima will attack him.
Finish the Vizier off with the sword. Congratulations, you have
just completed the adventure!
