The actions in this game aren't always obvious. Further on you have to examine things which aren't mentioned in the description but I only assumed they were there.

Actually it is not as revolting as it seems. Several cultures eat beetles. Being anthropologist\archaeologist I also had the privilege to be invited to eat them. But it isn't necessary to go to other cultures if you like red coloured juices or yoghurt it's very probable your eating them yourself. In many of these products carmine is used as a pigment. Carmine is obtained by boiling dried beetles in water to abstract their carmine acid. Which normaly is listed on the product as naturual color added.
But I'm getting off topic I guess. Untill now I haven't got a clue how to get the sword out of the rock or how to get the boat out of the boathouse and therefore can't complete the second part. I'll hope you'll be more succesfull.

Thanks for the anthrolopology lesson. The beetles I suspose I should have known one could eat. People eat crickets also. I remember when I saw Mundo Cane as an adolescent. Quite revealing what they do/did in other parts of the world. Are there cultures that eat vomit also?
I've been exploring. Can't eat the rat, but can you give it to the wolf?
I haven't tried to eat the cheese. So it looks like the same thing -eating and drinking.
I haven't been able to get the sword and the boat either.
I suppose one needs to find a light for the candle.
I wonder what the stone is for? Throwing?
Need something to stand on to get the scroll?
Is the crystal a treasure?
The raft seems to be in two locations???
Time for me to hit the sack.

Don't know what's the use of the rat. It appears to be just a trap to get killed when you eat it like the green apple in part 1.
Frustrated by not being able to draw the sword from the rock properly, I cheated. You need the sword to kill the wolf but I can't find a proper way to get it.

Yes, the same thing.
terri wrote:I suppose one needs to find a light for the candle.
You'll find something usefull close to the location of the sword
terri wrote: I wonder what the stone is for? Throwing?
It will become clear later on.
terri wrote:Need something to stand on to get the scroll?
Yes, you'll find it when you've lit the candle.
terri wrote: Is the crystal a treasure?
yes
terri wrote: The raft seems to be in two locations???
I didn't notice this. Where did you see this?

I found the raft:
1. South of "the majestic island to the south" location
and
2. West of the "walled island" location.
On further reflection, I think I just saved/restored too many times. Forget what I wrote.
Back to eating beetles and crickets. Why would you want to squash a beetle first, then eat it? Messy. Not to mention how does one pick it up then? Catching it and cooking it somehow, I can understand.
I'll see how much progress I make on the game tonight.

Not much progress. Three things to drink and two to eat.
I thought that somehow shortcircuting the voltage in the library (with the nails) would get me the scroll but it doesn't. It probably contains a hint about how to get somewhere like in Part 1?
I haven't found a maze yet though.
I presume that the soul-Keeper is where you drop the treasures? Or do you just get past him when you have the boat? To cross the lava?
You can't tell in this part how many treasures you have. Or I haven't found a way how. How do you know that the crystal is a treasure? Is the locked bible as well?
Don't know how to get the boat. Nor the sword. Nor open the tiny cupboard. Nor where else to use the ladder.
Can I use the stone somewhere?
Stuck.

You need an object which is located beyond the wolf to be able to get the scroll without being electrocuted. Killing the wolf is one of the first things you have to do to be able to get on in this part.
terri wrote:It probably contains a hint about how to get somewhere like in Part 1?
No, it gives you a hint on how to get rid of the soul-gatherer.
terri wrote:I haven't found a maze yet though.
Apart from the few locations on the water there aren't any mazes in this part of the game.
terri wrote:I presume that the soul-Keeper is where you drop the treasures?
No, The scroll and another object will indicate how to get rid of him. You have to give the treasures to Zoler the Black but he is in some other location.
terri wrote:You can't tell in this part how many treasures you have. Or I haven't found a way how. How do you know that the crystal is a treasure? Is the locked bible as well?
You just have to type SCORE after you got the crystal and you learn that you've collected 20% of the treasure. Near the ladder you should have found another treasure. The locked bible should be opened to learn an important word but you can only do this after you got the scroll and therefore after you've killed the wolf.
terri wrote:Nor open the tiny cupboard.
You''ll find an object to do this when you get the scroll.
terri wrote:where else to use the ladder.
I tried to use it at the fountain near the rat but it seems to be useless. I thought maybe somewhere else a sword is hidden and the one in the rock is just scenery but didn't succeed.
terri wrote:Can I use the stone somewhere?
Yes allmost at the end, but you need two more objects. One you get after you've taken the scrolll the other is hidden in the same location as the the stone but is difficult to find. It'is one of these things which isn't described in the text but I just assumed it was there and I did found this object. Just read the room description carefully. In the alcove south of the hell gatherer you'll find a clue where to use the stone.
terri wrote:Don't know how to get the boat. Nor the sword
That's my problem. If I know how to do these two things I've solved this part of the game. You need to get the boat somehow in the location of the hell-gatherer to be able to sail the lava river. But I don't know how. To kill the wolf you need a sharp strong sword and I suppose this is the one embedded in the rock or should it be hidden somewhere else?.
I hope you or someone else eventually will find a way how to get the sword and how to move the boat out off the boathouse. Probably need some verb I didn't think of yet. I'm trying it several days now but without succes. Wil keep trying though but meanwhile I started to have a look on the third part. The entrance code to the third part is CODE (how original

). It's a bit different because you don't have to search treasures.

I agree but in this game you've to squash it to prevent it runs away. Further on you'll find another insect you might eat.

Thanks for all this information.
Yes, I found the other treasure around where the ladder is.
What are the nails for?
Can you help me out a little more specifically what to do in the bedroom?

The nails are used to build something. You will need two objects more to be able to build it. But you don't need them untill you've got all five treasures.

In the bedroom is a dressing table. Inside you'll find something usefull.

And how exactly do I do that? My regular commands do not work.

You have to type OPEN DRAWER. The difficulty is that when you examine the dressing table the drawer isn't mentioned.

I found another place to use the ladder allthough it isn't needed because there appears to be a bug here. On the western island you encounter a wall in the location north of the place where you left your raft. In the description it says the only exit is south, but without any problem you can walk north and return again to this location going south. However when you climb the ladder in this location you tumble across the wall and you get the message you land on the other side of the wall without being able to return to the other side. When you go south however without any problem you return to the other side of the wall. Seems it wasn't meant to be possible to return because after you've passed the wall there is no need to return to the other locations (that is if you collected all the necessary objects of course

) .

Thanks Alex.
The object in the drawer seems to me to be an implement for finding water? Any idea where to use it? And what verb to use?
And what to do at the chameleon monster?
I think I am stuck too.

I am playing along in Part 2.
Question:
The maze is long. There is a hint at the end of it, if you give the woman something. Where do you find the answer to the hint?

These questions actually are connected. To kill the chameleon monster you need the stone, the object from the drawer and a length of cable which you obtain when you get the scroll. When you build something from the twig and the cable you can fire the stone at the Chameleon monster.
terri wrote:I think I am stuck too.
I''ll wil keep trying, but I also started playing part 3 because I ran out off ideas how to get this sword.
