Introduction

This walkthru is a very shortened way to complete the game. It takes many
shortcuts and is not actually intended to be used as-is. Primarily it is
intended to document the key actions necessary to complete the game. There are
many other paths through the game and in a normal game much searching around
and talking to characters would be necessary to learn enough to choose the
actions taken. If you follow this walkthru you will finish the game but will
miss most of the cleverness, charm, and wit of the game designers.

The walkthru also contains many sequences that do not need to be followed in
order. Most chapters have several tasks which must be completed but do not have
to be completed in the order presented.

I played the 1.1 version of the game for this walkthru. At press-time I have
heard rumors of a 1.5 version which fixes the bugs and crashes that occur in
this version.

Chapter 1 - "Where in blazes am I"

This chapter has at least three very different paths based on the wether or not
the Desert Spirit is helped and wether the 'Hunting Horn' is retrieved before
helping him. In this version, the absolute minimum step path is shown ( where
he is not helped ). This version skips some of the tricker sequences ( like
turning salt water to fresh ).

Other paths:

The Wanderer will give an item (either a rope or bug reducing powder), if he
receives fresh water. Fresh water is made by picking an 'Ear of Corn' from the
corn stalk. Then go to the salt water pool and fill the 'Clay Pot' with salt
water from the pool. Prime the statue (head and collar) as usual. Using the
'Golden Comb' on Valanice, cry into the statue's bowl, pour the salt water into
the bowl, and put the 'Ear of Corn' into the statue's left hand. The water
should be transformed to fresh. Then use the 'Clay Pot' to give the fresh water
to the wanderer.

Instead of getting the 'Hunting Horn', the 'Glasses' can be had by getting a
'Rope' from the Wanderer. Then the rope is used to trip the Jackalope by tying
it to two cactuses and tripping him.

Instead of using the 'Flag' to trick the scorpion, the scorpion can be rendered
harmless by using bug reducing powder from the wanderer.

Chapter 3 - "The sky is falling."

This chapter is somewhat tricky as Valanice must walk back to the desert to
complete it. Also, without foreknowledge, it is easy to have finished chapter 1
without enough objects to solve a couple of puzzles in chapter 3. However,
Valanice can always go back to the desert and get them. Most of the rest of the
action is fairly straight-forward.

This is the first chapter with events that happen without user command. The
Bogey-Man can appear at any time and "get" Rosella. When the Bogey-Man appears,
just move off screen and return ( until Rosella is wearing the 'Black Cloak' ).
