How to play

Why did icons appear when I tapped on the screen?
You can tap on objects in the scene to interact with them.
The eye icon is used to look at objects.
The hand icon can be used to pick up or touch objects.

I don’t understand how to move the hero.
Just tap on the screen. The hero will walk there automatically.

I’m stuck in the first scene. How can I go somewhere else?
If you go to the left of the first scene, you will see a dark shadow. Just tap it to load the next scene.
There are hidden areas that are not marked with a shadow. Maybe you can also tap the moving grass?
Sometimes there are magic runes on the ground. These magic runes allow you to go to another scene.

I don’t understand the puzzles (the runes…) that seal the treasure chests.
In the treasure puzzles, you must find the correct code to open the chests:
The runes are the small sticks.
You can form squares with the runes.
An active rune is turquoise/green-blue.
An inactive rune is white or grey. The stick is grey if you deactivated an initial rune.
You can move a rune by tapping once on an active rune, then tapping once where you want to place it (on a white/grey stick).
You cannot have extra runes that are not part of the combination. If you must form 3 squares, all active runes must be used for these 3 squares. You can’t leave a rune alone and unused.

I found some food. Can I eat it?
Yes, you can!
Open your bag.
Drag and drop the food onto your hero’s life bar (on the heart).
Good food or good potions will increase your health (green bar).
Bad food will decrease it… be careful.

I found a ring / a pair of socks / a necklace. What should I do with it?
Why not try to wear it?
Tap your hero’s icon to open the detail screen.
Open your inventory.
Drag the item onto the corresponding equipment slot.

Everything is too small on my screen… what can I do?
Check if you have the zoom button. This button is available in the house and in the basement of the shack.
If you find another scene that would really need a zoom, let me know.

I noticed spelling mistakes…
Sorry, I did my best… but nobody is perfect :)
Feel free to send me the mistakes you saw (with the correct version) and I’ll fix them!

Improvements / known bugs

You can send me an email if you see elements that should be improved or corrected.

Prologue – A novice alchemist

I can’t find Theo’s house. Where is it?
You can look at the wooden signposts, they will tell you where the house is. From the harbour, go left, then follow the path and go left again.

I searched everywhere but can’t find the bag.
The bag is in the library, inside a box.

I don’t know how to reach the room behind the bookshelf.
A book will help you… You can read the book titles with the Look (eye) icon and interact with the books with the Action (hand) icon.

Who is Theo?
Theo is the master alchemist who takes care of you. You must find his house and become his apprentice.

Who is Babaorom?
Babaorom is Master Theo’s magic animal.

Where is Babaorom?
He is in his master’s bedroom. It’s the second room on the first floor.

Chapter 1 – Babaorom

I finished the prologue but don’t remember what I’m supposed to do.
Go talk to Theo, he will tell you what your mission is.

How can I make Babaorom happy?
It’s up to you to find the solution. Talk to Babaorom first, he will explain what his problem is.

Babaorom doesn’t want to tell me why he’s unhappy.
You must find the right words to make him talk. Choose the correct dialogue options, he will eventually tell you what his problem is.

I don’t see how to help Babaorom since he doesn’t want me to talk about it with Theo.
Search in the house for living books. One of them will be very useful to find the culinary solution to Babaorom’s problem…

I can’t find the missing page…
Have you talked to the other living books on the first floor? One of them will tell you where to find the page.

There’s a red walking book! I can’t talk to him.
It’s still a bit too early to talk to him. You’ll be able to speak with him later in the game.

The map I received looks like a child’s doodles!
Yes, it’s full of scribbles… However, you can tap on the map to get extra information.

I don’t understand the map. How do I reach the marked place?
You must go somewhere near the sea. You’ll find a wooden sign and some strange text carved on a rock. This text will help you reach your destination.

I’m stuck… I can’t figure out how to activate the rune on the island.
Look carefully at the map you have. You can tap it to get more details. Some hints:
Find a stump in the first island scene.
Find a moss-covered rock in the second island scene.

It’s night… I don’t like travelling at night… There are ghosts and…
Really? Well, that’s not totally wrong… but don’t exaggerate… You can go to your bedroom and sleep until morning if you want.

In the cave on Mushroom Island, how do I find the right item to pick up?
You must test them until you find the correct one:
Find a way to light a fire… Hint: look at the moss…
Find the item you can cook in the cauldron.
Eat… then try again…

I found the item that will help Babaorom, but I can’t give it to Theo!
You must be discreet, Babaorom doesn’t want Theo to know… Go talk to Babaorom, he will explain how to proceed.

Chapter 2 – A letter for me

I don’t know how to start this chapter…
You can talk to Theo or to Babaorom.

I left the house… and now a magic puzzle is blocking the entrance…
Each time you level up, Master Theo will give you a puzzle to solve.

I can’t solve the puzzle that blocks the door of Theo’s house.
If you can’t solve it, you can check the solutions at the top of this page.

I’m stuck in a dialogue with Babaorom!
Have you tried every dialogue option? I’m sure you’ll find the right one.

Babaorom gave me a strange mailbox. Should I keep it in my bag?
No, you must put it in your bedroom, on the shelf.

Can I receive and send letters?
Yes, you can ask your mailbox to send a letter.
If you received a letter, your mailbox will ring and turn red.

My mailbox doesn’t want to give me my letter!
Bibi will read the letter for you… that’s how it is…

Babaorom doesn’t want to talk. All he wants is food!!
Give him food, he’ll probably end up satisfied.

I fed Babaorom… we talked a bit and now he already wants to eat again!
He’s still hungry… feed him again…

What kind of food does Babaorom like?
Cooked dishes, cheese, meat, cookies, your sister’s cookies cooked in the magic cauldron, bread.
It’s not food, but he also likes jewellery…

Where can I find a magic egg?
Babaorom will tell you where and how to find a magic egg.

How can I get my own magic animal?
First, you must find a magic egg and make it hatch.
Talk to Babaorom. He will explain how to do that.

I have to wait 3 days but I can’t sleep to skip time…
In the meantime, you must talk to Theo. He will give you a new quest.
If you didn’t talk to Theo before asking your mum for the egg, you must talk to him twice.
Once that quest is finished, you will be able to sleep.

Where is Celestwald?
From Theo’s house, go right, then up, then left and you will find it.

Chapter 3 – Celestwald

Celestwald keeps sleeping all the time. Why?
He is old and tired.

How can I wake Celestwald up?
Master Theo gave you 10 red potions. Just take one and pour it on the Celestwald tree.
You must pour as many potions as needed to wake him up.

Where can I find a big green mushroom?
Go back to the places where you saw a lot of mushrooms… maybe a new one has grown there?

I found the big mushroom, and now what?! How do I turn it into a basket?
You must use several tools to carve, engrave and cut it.
You already have 2 tools in your inventory.
You must craft the third tool. Find 3 items you can combine to make a knife.

I didn’t find all the items to carve the basket…
You already have 2 tools in your inventory.
Find a branch, a piece of glass, some tape and craft a knife.

Where can I find a ribbon?! I’ve looked everywhere…
A letter to your sister might help… but you need something to persuade her to send you a ribbon…
In the meantime, you can sleep or wander around until your mum sends your egg.

I received my magic egg. What can I do with it?
Show it to Babaorom. He will tell you what to do.

Can I talk to my egg?
Of course, just open your inventory and tap on it. It will tell you what it needs.

I can’t find a cushion.
I’m sure you’ll find an old dusty cushion somewhere… but maybe later…

My egg is hungry… but I can’t give it food or a potion!
First, you must find a cushion for your egg. Once your egg is comfortably placed on it, you will be able to feed it.

How can I reach the old shack?
First, you must complete the Celestwald quest.
Then you must find a way to remove the wooden boards.

I’m waiting for the ribbon. What can I do in the meantime?
You can talk to Babaorom. He will have several hints about your egg.
You can wander around at night, that’s cool too.
You can sleep.
You can talk to Master Theo.
You can read / talk to books.

I can’t give the basket to Theo. Why?
Master Theo is not the one who asked for the basket, right? Give the basket to Celestwald.

I don’t want to talk to the spiders!
No choice, be brave!

I have the basket and a small fruit inside. What’s next?
Go talk to Theo.

Chapter 4 – My magic animal

Some of the questions below can also be useful in chapter 3. Some events may happen in chapter 3 or 4, depending on the order of your actions.

I’m now an apprentice. Does that change anything?
Maybe there are characters you can talk to now? Or maybe… objects?

What is the scroll Master Theo gave me?
It’s a scroll with the recipe of a potion that makes your egg hatch faster.
The recipe is on page 2.
Look carefully at the notes Theo added about the special ingredients.
Your animal’s appearance depends on the special ingredients.

How do I brew the hatching potion?
Follow the recipe written on the scroll.
Put the ingredients in the magic cauldron.

I’ve only found 2 red fruits. Where can I get more?
There is still one on the bush where you found the others… but it is hidden behind the rock.

I put all the ingredients except the empty bottle. I didn’t find any empty flask!
First you must have placed your egg on the cushion. Only then you can do the following:
Pour any potion on your egg to make it grow a bit. You will get an empty flask.
Pour a bad or unused potion into the kitchen sink. You will get an empty flask.

Oops… I brewed the potion but forgot to add the special ingredient!
No problem, you can still add the special ingredient after you cooked the base potion.
If you took the base potion, put it back into the cauldron.
If you already used the potion on your egg… well… it’s too late to change it!

I didn’t find any cushion!
Have you visited the old shack? Find a way to remove the wooden boards and go inside.

The cushion is dirty… how do I clean it?
The best way is to use a washing machine. Kindly ask your mum if she can clean it for you.

In my bag, I tried to put my egg on the cushion but it doesn’t work.
You must place the cushion somewhere in your bedroom.
Then put your egg on it.

The squirrel doesn’t want to give me honey…
Give him an acorn and he’ll help you.
You can find an acorn while wandering around.
There is also a rabbit playing with an acorn.
If you wear the lucky socks, you may sometimes find acorns.

I hate bees… How can I get honey without being stung?
Find something that will attract them and place that object a bit away from the honey.

I found a potion that seems to make objects grow… maybe… I’m not sure. Why can’t I use it on my egg?
This potion is not meant to make an egg grow. It will be very useful later…

Where can I find the dissolving powder?
There is a hidden room in the old shack. First, you must do the following:
Talk about the dissolving powder to a special book in Theo’s house.
Visit the old shack and the cemetery at night…
Talk to those who are there…

Where is Radis?
If you’ve wandered around at night, you may have seen him already?
Radis appears in several places: in the forest, on the island, near the sea or in the garden.

Every time I touch Radis, he disappears…
You must find a way to tame him… His master told you what Radis likes to eat, right?

I gave the right food to Radis, but it doesn’t work…
Try to make that food bigger… with the special potion you should have found in the old shack.

What can I do with the picture hanging on the wall in the old shack?
You will be able to talk to it later… and only at night.
First, talk to the ghost in the cemetery and to the book (in Theo’s house) about the dissolving powder.

Robi’s grave is nowhere. I can’t find it!
First you must complete Jojo’s quest, he will help you find the grave.

I finished Jojo’s quest and the one with Robi’s grave, but I’m stuck… the picture keeps asking me the same thing.
You must look at the text carved on the gravestone with the Look (eye) icon.

It’s dark! I can’t find anything to light the room!
There is a button on the far left side of the room.

I have only one key for the treasure chest. Where is the second one?
Jojo gave you one key. The second key is in the safe (well… strange safe) with the dissolving powder.

I didn’t find the solution to the scroll puzzle… help!
This one is more difficult… Get 4 squares by moving 3 runes.
Deactivate 2 runes in the top-right corner.
On the left, deactivate the first vertical rune.
Activate 3 white runes in the top-left to create a new square.

I solved the scroll puzzle and got a colour code… what do I do with it!?
On the far right, there are 4 stones on the wall. Tap on the stones to change their colour and set the correct code.
The stone that corresponds to the first colour is marked with the “--” symbol.
If you use the zoom button, it will be easier to choose the right colour.

Chapter 5 – The Celestwald fruit

How do I summon Minimiel?
You have a new button at the top. Just tap it.
You can’t summon Minimiel if he is already there.
You can’t summon Minimiel at night.

Where is the sacred watering can?
It’s the object inside the house, in the “indoor garden”.
Only Minimiel is small enough to go there.
Minimiel must first open the door to the indoor garden.

Minimiel took the sacred watering can in the indoor garden, but I can’t give it to Master Theo.
You must keep the sacred watering can. Just tap on Theo and talk to him. He will tell you what to do next.

How can I open Minimiel’s inventory?
Minimiel doesn’t have an inventory. Every item he picks up goes into your inventory.

Where can I find the bottles of magic water?
You need empty bottles. You can take the potions on the shelves in the house. You can:
Drag and drop the potions onto your life bar.
Or pour the potions into the sink.
Note that orange or red potions do not give you an empty bottle.
When you have 5 empty flasks, you must find the place with magic water. At the bottom right of the mushroom cave, there is another scene with a magic waterfall.

What? I need seaweed? There’s nowhere I can get that!
I know you don’t like swimming… but you have a magic animal now. I’m sure he’ll be happy to take a bath!
You’ll see a shadow where Minimiel can go into the water.

I didn’t find the keys that open the underwater door…
You must search the underwater scenes.
One key is hidden under a starfish.
The other key is hidden in the sand near big rocks.

Where is the magic table where I must put the sacred watering can?
You’ll find the table in the garden. You must place the sacred watering can on it.

How do I brew the potion in the watering can?
You must put the ingredients in the correct order into the sacred watering can.
Place the sacred watering can on the magic table in the garden.
Add the ingredients in the right order.
If you don’t remember what you added last, you can get information by looking at the watering can with the Look icon.
If you failed the potion, you must start over from the beginning.

The fruit is stuck in the indoor garden. How can I get it back?
Go outside the house and look around…
Something has changed, try to find what and use it.
Wander in the forest, you’ll find something new…

Chapter 6 – The magic seed extractor

Theo asked me to give him the big fruit, but I can’t talk to him.
Don’t try to talk to him, just give him the fruit!

I must free the magic flow, but how?
Master Theo should have explained it to you, right?
You must enter the correct code into the computer to free the magic flow.
He said that the King of Books will give you the code.

I didn’t find the code for the computer.
The King of Books will give it to you… maybe…

Where is the King of Books?
He is the red walking book in the house…

The King of Books doesn’t want to talk to me…
He has a very high opinion of himself…
Talk to him and ask him for the code.
Ask Babaorom for advice.
Talk to him again.

How do I enter the code into the computer!?
Next to the computer there are two levers and a red button.
One lever changes the active column.
The other lever changes the active row.
When a cell is active, the symbol in that cell is highlighted.
The red button changes the symbol of the active cell and checks if all symbols are correct.
