Rhiannon-the curse -4 branches

This is a very unforgiving puzzle. If you don't get the right symbols first time then it does go a bit haywire. The 'add to message pane' only appears on the screen when you have correctly entered a series of 3 symbols so you won't see it at first.

It should work providing you put the symbols in correctly - and you do need to read Jon's email about how to group them into 3's using the last symbol of the previous group as the first symbol of the next group. If you make a single mistake, the whole lot will disappear and you have to start again. So it's worth saving your game frequently until you've done this puzzle.

The first ladder you need is the long ladder, which is in the 'terminus' building that you unlock with the key that comes in the post. To pick it up, you must first have seen a need for it. Go round to the right hand side of the house and look for an 'up' arrow as you walk towards the back of the house. It's around the halfway point when you are under the scaffolding. You may have to move your cursor around the screen to find it but when you do, click on it to look up. At that point you should see a cog cursor where a ladder would be useful. Now go back and pick up the ladder.

If you are finished in this room, the door disappears. If some of the items are still not taken, you can come back in by clicking on the active spot on the wall.

Do you have the fully charged MP3 player in your inventory? The tunovox will only work once you have the MP3 player as it's the MP3 player that records the tones generated by the tunovox.

Don't forget to switch on the TV in the living room so that your MP3 player gets wirelessly connected to the stereo system.

The only reason to connect the MP3 to the tv is so you can listen to the sounds you've recorded when you need to transform the objects you've collected in the final part of the Mabinogion paper. The object you also need to record the sounds is the 'Tunovox' tone machine which is in the master bedroom. The tone machine detects the note made by various noisy things throughout the game area and the MP3 records them for future use. To connect it to the tv, all you do is have the MP3 in inventory and then switch on the tv in the living room. The screens that come up on the tv will tell you that the MP3 has been detected.

As long as you have made the connection to the TV, it doesn't matter that it switches off again. You only have to do it once - even if you leave the room, you will automatically be reconnected when you return.

To combine the tones with the objects, you must put the MP3 player and the corresponding object on the table in front of you. You'll know if you get it right and if not the MP3 and object will return to your inventory so you can try another combination.
