- Examine the book carefully, click each of the texts written in red to learn their meanings.
- There is a study door in the back that leads to the castle study. Go through the study door.
- Talk to Adviser Pembleton to make him leave the study room. The goal here is to find the right dialogue options that make him leave.
- If you can't figure it out, here are the correct dialogue choices: "King Barrington himself!", "In the Throne Room!", "Because they'll cut off your head if you don't!"

- When Adviser Pembleton leaves, take the film strip from the counter to get a blank film. If he comes back before you do this, just go through the same dialogue options as before to try again.

Act II: The Great Outdoors

- Walk east past the frozen merchant's cart and you will come to the map view.

- Try to interact with the brave knight. He seems a little pre-occupied.
- Try to pull the rope to help him. It doesn't quite work.
- Go back west to the map view.

- Go to the Gap Tours booth. Watch the cutscene and conversations that follow.
- Walk south and you will come to the map view.
- Enter the forest.
- Walk west until you see a fisher(man?) (really a goblin). Talk to the fisher(man?).
- Go a bit south so that you can cross the stream. After doing that, keep walking west. Keep going past the squirrel and all, until you reach a cave opening with a trail of blood? leading to the entrance.
- Take the ladder to get a fold up ladder.
- Retrace the path you came on in reverse to reach the map view again.
- Go to the area with the wrinkleworm.
- Walk east until you are right over the terrified knight.
- Use fold up ladder with terrified knight.
- Try to click as fast as you can to save the knight!

- So you failed... which is OK, because it was a fake QTE sequence. No matter how fast you click (or don't click a single time), the end result is the same. You seem to die.
- Go back to the cave where you found the ladder.
- Retrace your path back again to see some weird creatures doing something weird.
- The world starts to change... and in a Star Wars-like moment, you find yourself inside the wrinkleworm.
- Use dart with festering sore.
- Watch a short sequence to enter a new area.

- Now you are in a maze with a small map, facing an agonising statue. First, go through all areas in the maze to get the automapping feature to mark areas either simply visited, or visited with an X. After doing all other areas, go to the top of the maze to find a huge spider. You can't get lost, because the area that you are in is always marked with a darker borderline.
- This is an easy maze to navigate, so the goal here isn't trying to get out of the maze, as is the case with most adventure game mazes. The goal here is to get rid of the spider and use the maze to do it. The areas marked with an X are the key to accomplishing this.
- If you can't figure it out, spiders in real life sense movement in their nets. So in order to get the spider to move, you need to start from the top of the maze and keep touching the net so that the spider is following you, and you are leading it to its death. When you see the text "You hear movement coming from the trees." the spider is following you. If the text no longer appears, you have taken a wrong turn or forgotten to touch the web. If that happens, start from the top of the maze again.
- If you still can't figure it out, here's the correct solution. This solution uses spreadsheet cell numbering, where rows go from 1 to 5 and columns go from A to E. So follow this path: A1, B2, A2, B3, D2, D3, D4, C4, C5, B5. If you do this right, you get rid of "two birds" at once – the wrinkleworm eats the spider, and both are gone now.

- Pick up venom glands to get corrosive venom.
- Go to the top of the maze where the spider first was and now obviously no longer is.
- Interact with the brave knight to free him.
- Go back to the area where you picked the venom from to exit the maze. Basically just south as far as possible, then east, and south again.

- Go west and back to the cave.
- Use fold up ladder with interior decorator.
- Take some hot stew.
- Retrace the path you first came on in reverse to reach the map view again.
- Go to the frozen merchant's cart.
- Use hot stew with supplies.
- Take the supplies to get red paint, gears, and a spanner.
- Walk east past the frozen merchant's cart and you will come to the map view.
- Enter the forest.
- Go west and back to the cave.
- Use red paint with interior decorator.
- Pick up the paint bucket to get an empty can.
- Retrace the path you first came on in reverse to reach the map view again.

- Go to the Gap Tours booth.
- Use spanner with catapult.
- Watch a scene that follows. After it, all of the inventory is gone, but you are on the other side of the gap.
- Interact with the dead adventurer to get a compass.
- Go north, as it's the only way forward.
- Check the mountains to see in which direction they are.
- Go to snow fields between you and the mountains.
- This is another maze. The goal here is to go towards the mountains. In each new area, check the compass, turn it so that the red needle points towards north, and see how the directions relate to your location. In other words, once you know in which direction the mountains are located, using the compass will tell you which area exit leads to that direction.
- If you can't figure it out, here is the correct route: up, left, right.

- You should now be in an area with a frozen knight. Walk a bit further right of the tree to find a packsack. Take the packsack to get cereal oats and a fancy dagger.
- Keep going right until you come to a cave entrance.
- Enter the cave.
- Walk over pressure pads to see how they affect the creepy door.
- Use cereal oats with goat. The goat should follow you now, and unexpectedly, you have a new inventory item: goat.
- Exit the cave.
- Keep going left until you come back to the frozen knight.
- Use goat with frozen knight.
- Interact with the frozen knight three times to get the knight into the cave.

- Unlike the non-interactable ambers might suggest, the goal here is not to thaw the frozen knight but to use what you have to open the creepy doors. When you click on the frozen knight, arrows appear that allow you to move him around. Move the frozen knight on the pressure pad on the right. It can be a different pressure pad as well, but the right one is the closest; two times "move left" and two times "move up".
- Use cereal oats with pressure pad. Again, any pressure pad is fine, but the one on the left probably looks best visually in relation to the protagonist.
- Finally, walk on the last remaining pressure pad. If you followed the instructions above, that should be the middle one.

- Go through the open door.
- Climb on the pedestal that Princess Theremin is lying on.
- Try to interact with Princess Theremin.
- Use fancy dagger with Princess Theremin!
- Watch the cutscenes.

Act III: Guardian Duty

- After the change of scenery (to put it mildly), you are exiting an elevator in a cyberpunk world. Walk right to touch the red laser beam to start a conversation with the system. Talk about everything you want, but in the end tell that you have come for processing. Give any ID when asked, it really doesn't matter.
- When the lockdown is in effect, and you are crouching in the corner, interact with the access panel next to you.
- Remove the four screws holding the cover in place.
- Flip the switches to activate all three connections.

- Talk to the shiny robot again, and say, "Look out behind you!", and then end the conversation.
- Use the communicator to talk to Rugratt again, and tell what you found about the droid.

- Use cereal oats with goat. (As Tondbert, obviously.)
- Use cereal oats with pressure pad. Any pad is fine, but the one on the left is closest.
