Hints about Chapter 1
If you need help with the Kangaroo Rat
When the kangaroo rat opens the door, click on him to talk
to him. You will need to trade with him. In order to do this,
you must give him his eyeglasses, which the Jackalope has taken.
The item you must trade to the kangaroo rat is a seed. In
return, he will give you a turquoise bead.
If you need help with the Jackalope
You will need to capture the Jackalope in order to get the Kangaroo
Rat's glasses away from him. You can do this in two ways. One
way is to use the hunting horn first on Valanice, to clear it, and
then on the Jackalope's hole, to scare him out.. The other way to
catch the Jackalope is to use the rope on one of the two cacti in
the screen where you first emerged into the desert.
If you need help with the Desert Spirit
The Desert Spirit wanders the edges of the Endless Desert. To find
him, venture one or two screens out into the Endless Desert. Do not
go too far out into the Endless Desert, or you will get lost and die.
When you see him, click on him to talk. If you give him fresh water,
he will give you a hint on how to leave the desert, and he will offer
you one of two items; a rope, or some powder in a vial. Take
whichever one you please. Either one will be of help to you. After
you have chosen one of the items, walk North to leave the Endless
Desert. Note: You do not have to deal with the Desert Spirit to
complete the game.
If you need help creating fresh water
To create fresh water, walk to the screen with the pool of salt water
and the water god statue. Click on the base of the statue to see the
formula to create fresh water. Click Rosella's comb on Valanice to
make her cry. Now walk Valanice next to the water god's bowl, and use
the comb on her again to make her cry into the water god's bowl. Use
the bowl in Valanice's inventory on the pool of salt water to take
some, then use the bowl of salt water on the bowl in the water god's
hand to pour the salt water in. Finally, place the ear of corn in
the water god's cupped hand. Once the formula is complete, use
Valanice's bowl on the water god's bowl to take the fresh water.
If you don't know how to drain the pool
To find the formula for draining the water god's pool, click on the
petroglyphs found outside the cave. To drain the pool, click on
the water god's wrist to invert his bowl. Click on the water god's
face to turn his face around to the sun god. Click on the water
god's collar. Line the turquoise stones up in the center of the
collar, under his chin. The pool will drain. You can now walk to
the bottom of the pool. In order to take one of the turquoise pieces
in the statue's bowl, you will first have to use the turquoise bead
on the bowl, to trade. If you just take a piece, you will die.
If you can't get past the giant scorpion
You can get rid of the giant scorpion in one of two ways. You can
use the vial of powder that the desert spirit could have potentially
given you to shrink him. You can also combine the piece of
petticoat with the stick in inventory to create a flag, then use the
flag on him to induce him to stick his tail in the wall. If you use
this method, however, you must hurry while inside the temple,
because the scorpion will eventually pull his tail loose and kill
you.
For help with the altar in the scorpion's temple
First, click on the upside-down raindrop on the front of the altar
to release the stones. Click on the red stone to take it. Click
the red stone on the image of the sun on top of the altar to place
it in the hollow there. Click on the yellow stone. Click the
yellow stone on one of the altar statue's hands. Click on the blue
stone. Click the blue stone on the other of the altar statue's
hands. When the turquoise piece emerges from the altar, click on it
to take it.
If you can't get out of the desert
You must exit the desert through the mouth of the giant stone head.
To open the mouth, you must combine the two halves of the turquoise
keys in inventory, then click the complete turquoise key on the
arrow-shaped lip plug on the stone head. If you have two halves of
the key in inventory and they do not fit together, one of them is
not the real key. You must go back down into the bottom of the
water god's well and trade the false key for the real key.
If you find yourself lost in the desert, go north. You will
eventually run into the cliffs. Now all you have to figure out is
whether you are east or west of the main playing area. Try one
direction. If you don't find the main play area fairly soon, try
the reverse. If you die, you will be restored back to the screen
where you left off.
For a list of chapter 1 inventory items and where they are found
In the desert you can find a piece of petticoat, a stick, the
kangaroo rat's glasses, a hunting horn, rope, bug reducing powder,
a basket, a pot, a kernel of corn, a grain of salt, jackalope fur,
a gourd seed, a turquoise bead, an ear of corn, a false half of the
turquoise key, and the two true halves of the turquoise key. The
kangaroo rat's glasses are taken from the Jackalope. The hunting
horn is found by the desert spirit's body, two screens south of
the scorpion temple. The rope is given to you by the desert spirit.
The rope and the hunting horn are mutually exclusive. The bug
reducing powder is given to you by the desert spirit. The basket
and the pot are found in the cave. The kernel of corn is found in
the basket. The gourd seed is found in the dried gourd by the cave
entrance. The turquoise bead is given to you by the kangaroo rat
in exchange for his glasses. The ear of corn is created when you
use the corn kernel on the damp sand found outside the cave
entrance. The grain of salt is on the edge of the pool of salt
water. The jackalope fur is next to the spot where you trapped
him. The false turquoise key is found in the bowl of the statue
at the bottom of the pool. One half of the real turquoise key
is found in the bowl of the statue at the bottom of the pool.
The other half of the key is found in the altar inside the
scorpion temple.
