I'm just starting out and already I appear to be stuck. - Don't be afraid to get wet if you have to. How do I get past the guards to enter the city? - A disguise should come in handy. Have you thoroughly searched for the ship you initially observed landing? I've found an number of objects and creatures, all of which are distincly alien. How do I get a better idea of what these are, exactly? - Where would normally be the best place to research this? I appear to be too heavy. - Loosen up and drop a few kilos. Is there anyway to translate the alien language into English? - Yes, there are two ways in fact. - Firstly, you can decypher the language by hand. - Secondly, you may eventually find something that will do it for you. Posession of a particular object will allow you to discover something in a sandy area. When this is presented to the one who needs it the most, you will have what you seek. Lastly, don't forget to check your pockets. What exactly is the purpose of the "gooba"? - The gooba will provide a source of transportation when it reaches adulthood. In the meantime, a healthy diet of bird eggs will assist the maturation process. I've come across what appears to be several objects in the desert. Futher inspection, however, proves otherwise. - You will need something to shed some "truth" on the matter. If you're able to read the alien's language, you should have no problem knowing how to employ this object. If needed, matching a missing page to a certain volume will provide additional clairty. I've arrived at the second city but an not allowed to pass through the gates. - Certain objects are considered contraband here. My objects are being stolen and there is nothing I can do to prevent it. - Have you checked the storage room? How do I deal with the agressive dog near the catwalk/greenhouse area? - Did you retreeve everything possible from the desert area? If so, cold, hard logic will defeat this animal. Make sure you dispose of it properly before venturing forth, however. Where do I find the crystal rod to activate the computer? - Did you come across an area where wearing sunglasses might be useful? What am I supposed to do inside the "Eternal Triangle"? - Forget about it.
