Lori, Did you click on the (?+) ? You will get to find more hints.

Did you use the knife on the tightly wound package?

Finally finished this game what trying game so many new puzzles one within another. But I made it even with the glitches I will play it again when my brain gets back to relax state again. I like it in way that it was not easy and you really had work harder to figure some things in the game.

ShyTy: You can have all the hints you want with this game. Oh yeah, you read that correctly ... unlimited hints! Just click on the little circle with ?+ next to the hint button. This will bring up a scene with 10 question marks hidden in it. Just find all 10 and you get 2 hints. Need more hints? Go back and do another scene. If you can't find all 10, return to your game and click the ?+ button again for a different scene.

Most of the time, the reason you can't find the missing piece to several artifacts is because it's locked in a hidden location which requires some action to release it. Don't get frustrated, just hit all the hot spots and work all the puzzles and use everything in your inventory. It's a logical progression of activities that require you to move back and forth among the scenes in each level.

If you're still stuck, I would be happy to send you directions to complete the Oasis/Graveyard level, but I know most players prefer hints so they can do it themselves.

x2kul: Sorry but screenshots won't help you with the number/circle puzzle. The numbers are random.

While figuring out the easiest way to solve this one, I kept losing my chain of numbers while turning the rings. I wanted to start with the single number at the center and work outward, but since the outer ring doesn't move I kept losing track of my chain of numbers while turning the inner rings. I found it helpful to jot down the chains and then move the rings.

For example, if the inner circle number you choose is 35 your notes might look like this:

1st ring: 35
2nd ring: 7+5+8+15
3rd ring: 4+8+7+10+2+4
4th ring: 2+2+7+9+3+6+4+2

It sure helps in spinning the rings if you don't have to keep adding the numbers again. Sometimes the other sections don't add up, so you have to look for one ring that doesn't match and find a different chain of numbers for that ring.

ScarletD -I am stuck in the graveyard and oasis and only have the horned piece left. I tried to put it in the tree but that doesn't work, I then went to the oasis and tried there but still can't figure it out. I use the hint and it shows me the grave with the ghost in it and says he needs the shield which I have one piece to find and also some of the sword. Please help me as I have been on this on and off for 2 days waiting for a wt or the answer in the forum but nothing.

Well C65candy, the Scarlet Dragon will try to help, even though the purpose of the game is to put all the dragons back to sleep for another 1000 years. I'm trying not to take the theme of this game personally. lol

I'm sending you a PM with the information for this level. If you're still stuck, let me know and I'll try to be more specific.

Glad I could help. If you think the Oasis/Graveyard was difficult, wait for the next level: Scythian burial ground/Samarkind. Better get out your track shoes and be prepared for lots of running around.

C65candy: RE: Oasis/Dungeon/Graveyard.

There are two swords in this level. One is a knight's sword and the other is called a court sword. A knight sword piece is in the basket. Putting the cross on the headstone will give you the court sword piece. The court sword is placed on the hot spot on the limb at the top of the screen so lightning will hit the branch and reveal the final shield piece.

You're almost there. Complete the court sword, put it in the tree to get the shield. Give the ghostly spirit the knight's sword and shield to finish the level.

The amulets allow you into the last scene, you must have them all to finish.

I am so happy to report that I can join the ranks of Scarlet Dragon and say I have won the game!
broccoli

luck to everyone else, I know you can do it also!

Looking forward to the next sequel of the game. I really had lots of fun with it. Even though people had gitch problems when it was first released, I didn't encounter any gitches. What I thought was a glitch with a magnetic cursor turned out to be my fault not the games.

Thanks to everyone who helped and encouraged me. wave

Big hugs from Ireland

Well done Sherryah. bravo

I think we need to vote on the most difficult part of the game. I'm betting the number circle puzzle will win by a landslide.

Yes my vote is the number puzzle in wild west, along with the graveyard stone puzzle. If it hadn't of been for help I never would have solved that one either.

Games like Magic Encyclopedia are my favorite hogs they sure are not boring when you can interact with objects along with the mini puzzles. Hope I never see another number puzzle again though. crazy

The one thing I would like to see changed is being penalized so much time off your timer for skipping puzzles, that is just a mean thing to do in my opinion. mad

Thought the number puzzle was easy, once figure out what they meant. The only one didn't complete was the stone one in the graveyard.


Never resist a generous impulse.

This game came as a pleasant surprise. Had not heard about it before. Really enjoying the puzzles. If it is the "First Story", I too hope there are more to come.Very good game.

I didn't have any trouble with the graveyard scene after I figured out that you had to put the sword in the tree. What I am stuck on is the quilt. Can some one please help?

I give up! I simply cannot do the numbers puzzle. I read the instructions, but very thick headed I guess.Nice game though.

Patsy, pull up your game and send me a screenshot. Send it to me, but do not get out of the screen. If you do, I believe it resets to another puzzle, not sure. I'll tell you how to move the pieces.

quilt, sorry I was too late but glad you found it.
