~ HELPFUL HINTS~
1. Check behind portraits for levers and eye buttons
2. Health hearts and eye statues can be found behind portraits
3. Break boxes for invention items
4. When your siblings are with you they will hang around near
the next place you are supposed to go
1.tHe PuZzLe:BILLIARD ROOM WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PICTURES?
----------------------------------------------------
Violet says 'I wonder what all the pictures are for'
Behind each picture is a gage with three different letters,
you need to set a code to make something interesting happen.
Look at the letters you are given on the gages, can you
think of a blindingly obvious word that is likely to be the code?
Its O L A F -set the gages to the letters that spell out OLAF
and watch the bookcase open
2. tHe PuZzLe: IN LIBRARY HOW DO I GET TO THE BALCONY?
--------------------------------------
There are no ladders, staircases or elevators upwards, so you need to
focus on what you see in the room.
Yes, the CHEST OF DRAWERS
Do not bother about what you don't see (missing drawers)
Is there anything around you that hints at a code?
There are books with letters on some shelves
Open ONLY the drawers with these letters on
The letters are D F V - Steps in a nearby bookcase will guide you
upwards
3. tHe PuZzLe: RELEASING THE INPRISONED COOKBOOK
----------------------------------
OK, this may not be entirely correct as my game glitched at this bit
and just released the book without any shape stepping (HURRAH!)
This is what I think you do:
The shapes on the ground must be stepped on in a certain order
to open the bars
Look around for anything that could reveal the COLOUR combination you
need
There are some STAINED GLASS WINDOWS in colours that match the shapes
The WINDOWS have letters of the ALPHABET on them
How is a library organised?
Why in ALPHABETICAL ORDER of course!
Step on the coloured symbols in alphebetical order, according to the
letter on the windowof the same colour.
E.g- the RED window has an A , so RED is the first symbol you press
4. tHe PuZzLe: GETTING OUT OF THE LIBRARY
----------------------------------
After retrieving the cookbook make your way to the ground floor.
To the left of the elevator are some bookcases.
Walk up to the bookcases in this area and one should open up to
Violet and Sunny.
5. tHe PuZzLe: WHERE ARE VIOLET'S INGREDIANTS?
----------------------------------
N.B- I haven't specified which particular cupboard so you must
search in BOTH sections of the kitchen
INGREDIANTS FOUND IN KITCHEN
==============================
GARLIC - FRIDGE
-------
ONION - CUPBOARD
-------
JAR - TOP CUPBOARD
-------
*ANCHOVIES - PANTRY
---------
* Walk to the red door in kitchen with the big crack.
Violet will release Sunny into the room and you must guide her over
boxes, along beams etc. until she finds the tin of anchovies
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* 2x PASTA BARS - CELLAR
--------------
* There is a section of BRICK in the FIREPLACE that looks odd
BREAK it to reveal a LEVER
Pull the lever and now there are steps near the pantry door that
lead down into the cellar
In the cellar there are a lot of barrels behind bars, you need to
get in here
Click the PORTRAIT ON THE WALL to reveal a LEVER
Pull this lever and the bars will open
Break down the barrels and use SUNNY to bite the ropes
You will find 2 lots of PASTA in the cellar
INGREDIANTS NOT FOUND IN KITCHEN
================================
OLIVES
-----------
Leave the kitchen, go past the dining room where Olaf is and exit
through the green double doors. You are in the hall.
Firstly kill those pesky MOSQUITOS
At the bottom of the steps where the moquitos where, notice the
EYE BLOCKS on the floor
STEP ON THEM ALL and a FLOORBOARD will raise from the ground
On each side is a an EYE BUTTON
both open a room so try both of them
The EYE SYMBOL on the RIGHT of the board opens the room where the
OLIVES are
6. tHe PuZzLe: RETRIEVING THE TOMATOES
-----------------------
The tomatoes plants are all dried up, Klaus says he could use the
FOUNTAIN to water them
There are 2 rooms, the one to the LEFT of the fountain is
INACCESSIBLE - the button is broken
Go to the room on the RIGHT and BREAK THE BOXES
to reveal an EYE BUTTON, press it
In this room there is a BOOK that tells you how to set the
fountain gages to make it work
These are the settings:
Open the LARGE WARDROBE and jump down the hole
Kill the crabs and rat then set the fountain gages as shown ,
the fountain will work
Continue following the waterway -do not go back - until you get
to a ladder
You will find yourself in the INACCESSIBLE CELL
The WATERING CAN is in the CUPBOARD
The tomato plants are all around the FOUNTAIN AREA including the
room with the book
Fill the can at the fountain and water the plants, collect the
tomatoes
7. tHe PuZzLe: ESCAPING THE TRAIN
-------------------
You need to pull the various levers and switches in the correct order.
Its easier than it sounds
as the next switch flashes after each is pulled.
A simple diagram of the train levers:
1. - Pull LEVER until traffic light goes RED
2. - Pull CIRCLE SWITCH to RIGHT
3. - Pull LEVER until traffic light goes GREEN
4. - Pull GREEN SWITCH
-------------------------------------------------------------------
8. tHe PuZzLe: FIRST ESCAPE FROM WOMEN IN FACTORY
----------------------------------
This is your first and not at all last encounter of these irritating
women in the factory
The first woman is throwing turnips at you and whenever you get her
health down to a few bars, you must go up close to her and SMASHER
I IGNORED the woman and just went upto the ELEVATOR PLATFORM to
the RIGHT
Find the LEVER near it and jump on the PLATFORM
Follow the suspended pathway until you meet the SECOND WOMAN
PELT HER until she is stunned if you wish but FOCUS ON GETTING TO
THE DOOR
The door is on the same level as the second woman
9. tHe PuZzLe: ROOM WITH TROLLEYS
--------------------
Not a major puzzle, just a little tricky.
In a room where rubbish is stopping you from getting round there is
a block of trolleys.
KLAUS will stay near this block, hinting that this is a significant
area
There are no levers visible
Look for LEVERS on the CEILING above the trolleys , pull the first
to enter the block
Continuing pulling them until you reach the other end and can
continue your journey
--------------------------------------------------------------------
10. tHe PuZzLe: CROSSING THE BLOCKS
--------------------
Just pull the THIRD and the FIRST lever
and you will be able to cross.
*Thanks to Petra Voss for improving this solution*
---------------------------------------------------------------------
11. tHe PuZzLe: SAVING KLAUS AND SUNNY FROM CAGE
--------------------------------
Oh dear, its those dastardly women again!
To defeat them you need to use these things:
* turnips
* onion spray
* bubble gum
* smasher
When they have just a small amount of life left go up close to them
and click, this will activate the SMASHER.
You have to SMASHER each woman TWICE before she will die
12. tHe PuZzLe: INVENTING REPTILE RETRIEVER
--------------------------------
Klaus will need to find a RING, a STICK and a BASKET
The RING is found in a small secret room.
To enter it you must pull a LEVER so the SNAKE PICTURE moves upwards.
Press the EYE BUTTON TWICE to open the secret room. Find the RING
within.
To get the BASKET you have to defeat the BALD MAN, use FEATHERS and
TURNIPS
Along the route just after the bald man you will find the STICK
Where is the Bald Man?
----------------------
Go to the room in Uncle Monty's house with the desk and fireplace
where you will see two small white urn-like objects. You are able
to smash one of these white urns revealing a secret passage! Go in
and search around until you come to a part where you climb a table
up to a wall.
After a little more searching you will eventually find the bald man.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
thanks to Jim Kraft for help with this puzzle
-------------------------------------------------------------------
13. tHe PuZzLe: SNAKE CHARMING
----------------
Eventually you will come to a room full of baskets with snakes iside.
There is a ladder ascending from the ceiling that you just can't
reach.
You have to charm the snakes so they peak out of their baskets,
providing you with stepping stones.
As you can see there is a rail of SIX BELLS in the room.
When you clang each bell the snakes appear.
IGNORE the RADIO, it is here solely for the purpose of confusion
Clang each bell from LEFT to RIGHT and the snakes will all appear.
Climb the box and jumb on the first basket lid, hopping to each until
you are at the ladder.
14. tHe PuZzLe: DEFEATING THE HOOK-HANDED MAN
-------------------------------
Use ONIONS first, then BUBBLEGUM then FEATHERS.
Remember to hit the guy with the SMASHER when his health is low.
You have to SMASHER him a few times before he dies.
16. tHe PuZzLe: REPTILES IN THE GARDEN
-------------------------
