Enter at right to the forest. See an overhead view of the area.

Using the directions on the tracing, click on the compass central button to move the spade.

Once a direction is reached, count the fingers of the skeleton to know how many times to move to that direction. Just follow the first number that the skeleton hand show, it might be erroneous after that (tricksy!).

For example: Click the compass to west, see the hand raise 4 fingers. Move by pressing the move button to west 4 times, change the compass by clicking on the cardinal direction to the next direction, see the hand raise 2 fingers; move to that direction twice and so on…

W-4, N-2, E-1, S-3, W-2, N-2, W-3, S-3, E-1, N-2, E-1, N-3, E-4, S-5, W-2.

Use the shovel on the ground. Use the shovel to open the canister. Take eyeball 19 (cabinet slot 25) and the shovel handle-skeleton arm.

Buzzards at Bruno’s crypt:    Go to Bruno’s crypt beside the garden fountain.

Look down at the circle on the ground – the headstone.

Look up and see the master of buzzards on the roof of the mausoleum. It has feathers on its head.

Read the ‘The Key to the Statues, the Statues are Key’ story in the ‘Short Stories for Tired Eyes’ book in inventory.

Take note of the drawing in the book of the master of buzzards. The arrangement of the feathers is seen.

The object of the puzzle is to get the master buzzards feathers similar to that of the picture.

Turn around and see 4 buzzards. Clicking on each one produces a change in the master buzzard’s feathers.

Check the changes made by the 4 buzzards to find out which ones to click to get the drawing.

Go to the fountain to reset the puzzle.

Click from left to right (1-4):  3 3 1 1 4 2 1 4 or 3 3 2 1 1 4.

Take the feather key dropped by the master buzzard.

Turn around and use the feather key on the feather lock at base of each gargoyle to get eyeballs 20-23 (cabinet slots 20 -23).

Loquat tree and the wasps:    Take the path at left before going to the back door of the house.

Go forward and see a loquat tree and a bug sprayer. Take the bug sprayer and click on the tree.

The object of the puzzle is to kill all the wasps and get a loquat.

Kill the red wasps immediately. They sting and after a number of stings by the red wasps, game ends and second chance happens.

The second chance game play is easier or I just got used to doing it. 🙂

Take the loquat fruit.

See a number pad on the lock. The x key resets the puzzle.

Use the compact in inventory to dust the key pads. See 5 numbers light up.

All 25 eyeballs are placed in the cabinet. Click to see that they can be moved up-down-right-left.

Read the ‘Plentiful Pirates and Nautical Nonsense’ story in the ‘Short Stories for Tired Eyes’ book in inventory.

Position the eyeballs by following the story and looking for words that forms a direction. The numbers at the bottom of the page shows how many directional words are in that page.

For example: Page 1-5. Stealthily stalking them, famished and anxious, out hunting west waters, he was cantankerous.

Out here were the sea-stricken pirates aplenty. A week’s worth of looting left their Large stomachs empty.
