Gear puzzle:    Go to the bookcase close to Tyler.

Look close at the helmet. Open the drawer at the base.

Now that you have collected the 2 missing gears, it is time place the gears.

The aim of the puzzle is to place the gears from I to II ending at VI and get all of them to rotate.

Turn the handle in gear I to see if the attached gears rotate.

When done correctly, the helmet spits out dollhouse code 3.

Nursery:    Go to the nursery and look close at dollhouse.

Automatically, dollhouse code 2 and 3 are placed on the left. The dolls collected from the garden and the dart game are also placed on the rack at the bottom of the screen. There are still 2 missing dolls.

Go to the library. Hear Kit and Kyler quarreling.

Once the conversation becomes muffled go down to the main hall.

Kit:    Check under the bed of the far cot and see Matt’s lost luggage.

Exit the castle and then go back in again.

Talk to Kit about Matt’s luggage and the discussion in the library.

Kyler:    Go back upstairs. Talk to Kyler and also give her the flowers.

Screaming Banshee:    Click on the Bailor sign right of the castle gate. Enter the Inn.

Donal:    Talk to Donal about the stone pillars. He has a book about Ogam runes.

He doesn’t feel like answering some question because the band is missing a drummer and he is missing his music.

Nancy volunteers to play the drums. Ugh.

Drum puzzle:    Seamus explains how to play the drums. Watch the cue above that moves to the right.

When the cue or colored ball hits the drum or circle at the end, hit the corresponding color on the drum at the center.

Check the timing, the ball might react a bit slower or ahead of the hole-drum before it can be counted as a score.

When a wrong colored ball is hit over the circle at the end, the score is subtracted by one point. It is best to skip the ball if not sure that it will get over the drum.

A ball counted as correct hit disappears over the drum.

I recommend using the keyboard arrows for the outside colors and the space bar for the center gray one.

The puzzle is forgiving and will accept a low score, if you replay continuously.

When the drum puzzle is done, take the Ancient Celtic Sabbats – Ogham book.

Talk to Donal again. He is the one that placed Matt’s suitcase under cot.

He gives a key to the sheep pen. He wants Nancy to bring the sheep in for shearing tomorrow. There are 10 sheep.

Blow a whistle to collect all 10, go to the barn and lock the barn.

Castle grounds:    Go back to the castle.

Pasture:    Go to the right side of the grounds and start collecting the sheep.

Collect the sheep:   

See a sheep count at top left of the page beside the whistle won at the Difference game.

Look for sheep. Once seen within the circle of light, blow the whistle by clicking on the whistle icon at top left of the screen and they will go to the barn.

If you are slow, the sheep will come out of the barn and the count goes down.

Take note of where you hear them baaa bleat and go there immediately. They usually gather at north east of the pasture or south of the barn. Good luck.

When there are less sheep seen, I saved my game and look for the sheep, replay and then go to the place where I saw them and whistle.

Once the count is 10, immediately enter the barn, listen to them bleat and then exit. The door will automatically lock and Nancy will note that it’s all locked up. If the door is not automatically locked, the sheep count is not 10 and one or 2 left.

Standing stone:    Go to the standing stones at bottom part of the pasture.

The 4 standings stones are made up of 3 stones one on top of another.

Click on each of the 3 stones and see that they rotate to show 4 different etched Ogham script, tree or constellation.

In front of the first stone is an ornate disk on the ground.

Ogham runes:    The bottom stones have Ogham runes.

Read the Ancient Celtic Sabbats book given by Donal.  Learn about the 4 festivals: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltaine and Lugnasa.

Learn that Ogham scripts are made up of 20 letters. They are read in stone markers from bottom to top.

Note down or remember the first 2 Ogham of each of the festivals: BE for Beltaine, LU for Lugnasa, SA for Samhain and IM for Imbolc.

Trees:    Click on the middle stone to see the different depictions of trees: winter – no leaves, spring – new leaves, summer – full of leaves and fall – falling leaves.

Constellation:    Turn the stones on top and see 4 different constellations.

Using the Zodiac Constellation book taken from the library, identify what those constellations are.

They are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius.

Check the constellation dates: Taurus is May 15-June 20 (summer), Leo is from August 11-September 16 (fall), Scorpius is from November 24-November 30 (winter) and Aquarius is from February 17-March 11 (spring).

Arrange the standing stones:    Now that we have identified all the etchings on the stones, turn the stones to show the appropriate information.

If correctly done, the ornate stone below the first stone opens. Take printing plate #3 with binary 01011001.

Exit the castle grounds.

Screaming Banshee:    Click on the Bailor sign right of the castle gate. Enter the Inn.

Donal:    Talk to Donal about the shearing sheep. He allowed Nancy to shear if she fills 3 bags.

2. On the machine check the color of the asterisk before the name. Note the value on the chart on the left.

3. See the family name of the sheep. Note the value on the chart on the left.

4. Look at the sheep and gauge its emotion: angry (head shaking up and down and one hoof moving), bleating, calm (motionless), happy (hopping up and down) and panicked (shaking and continuous motion). Note the value on the chart on the left.

5. Add the values and enter it on the keypad.

6. Press the shear button. If correct, see the nice do of the sheep.

Check the machine at right of the pad after every 2 correct shearing to see if the bag is full.

Fill 3 bags for Dolan. Take wool from the last bag.

Note:    If you shear sheep several times and get new looks, you might get a star at the end of the game.

Exit the barn.

 

 

Bog Hut:    Go to the bog. Enter the hut and go to the doll worktable.

Doll:    Use the wool on the unfinished sheep doll.

Take the sheep doll.

Castle:   

Kit:    Talk to Kit about Matt’s luggage.

Nursery:    Go to the nursery.

Dollhouse 3:    Now that the sheep doll is taken, do the dollhouse puzzle taken from the gear puzzle.

Read the legend of the colored lines.

Based on the clues, place the dolls at correct positions on the dollhouse on the right.

Once they are in place, click on the red check button.

Take printing plate #4 from the drawer. It has binary 01001011.

 

Top floor: dog, none.Middle floor: none, Blonde, sheep, Kit, none, pig. Bottom floor: Kyler, none, none, cat, cow, none.

 

Library:    Go to the desk at the back of the library.

Study the paper left of the scale. It explains how to change the binary into a letter.

1. Use the example graph on the right to get the value of the binary.

The 1 is given a value depending on its position in the binary.

Add the values obtained to get the total value of the binary.

Plate from the press:     01000011 has values of 0+64+0+0+0+0+2+1 = 67

Plate from the gate’s dragon puzzle:    01001101 has values of 0+64+0+0+8+4+0+1 = 77

Plate taken from the standing stone puzzle:    01011001 has values of 0+64+0+16+8+0+0+1 = 89

Plate taken from dollhouse puzzle 3:    01001011 has values of 0+64+0+0+8+0+2+1 = 75

2. Using the graph on the top, change the total value of the binary to a letter.

Plate from press 01000011 with total value of 67 is letter C.

Plate from the gate’s dragon puzzle 01001101 with total value of 77 is letter M.

Plate taken from the standing stone puzzle 01011001 with total value of 89 is letter Y.

Plate taken from dollhouse puzzle 01001011 with total value of 75 is letter K.

Main Hall:    Go down and go to the printing press.

Print the 4 printing plates:    There are 4 printing plates collected from different places and puzzles.

Each printing plate has a binary on top right corner. We now know the letters that correspond to the binaries.

There are 4 colors at the printing press: Y, C, M and K. The printing plate binaries are the colors to use for that particular plate.

Click on the printing press and see the 4 printing plates on the screen.

1. Place the printing plate on the left of the machine. The printing plate that went in first is the 01011001 .

2. Place the color that corresponds to that printing plate.

Use these colors and printing plates in this order:

01011001 Y for Yellow

01000011 C for Cyan

01001101 M for Magenta

01001011 K for Black

3. Place a paper over the inked plate.

4. Turn the wheel to press the inked paper.

5. Take the inked paper and place it on the dryer at right. Do not turn the dryer on. This is just to have a place to hold that paper.

6. Place the next plate on the left.

7. Place ink for that particular plate.

8. Take the inked paper that you previously did with the first plate and lay it over the new inked plate.

9. Turn the wheel to press that new color on to the paper.

10. Take the inked paper and place it on the dryer without turning it on.

11. Do the above for the next two plates with their corresponding colors.

12 After pressing the 4 plates with 4 different colors, place it on the dryer. Turn on the dryer.

Take the finished printed paper and read it.

It is the instruction for the jetpack taken from the bog hut’s wicker basket.

If the colors printed are wrong, the instructions will also be wrong.

Note:    If you print multicolored papers using the 4 plates, you might get a star at the end of the game.

Castle grounds:    Exit the castle, go to the grounds and try out the jet pack.

Let’s fly:    Look close at the jetpack taken from the bog hut in inventory. See the panel of the jetpack.

Follow the newly printed instruction on how to start the jetpack.

Save the game just in case. Refer to the instructions in inventory for each step.

The numbers on the graphic below are the steps in the instruction.

And away we go.

Note:    If you use the jetpack several times, you might get a star at the end of the game.

Tower:    Go to the tower where lights were seen. Enter through the window.

Look around at the well taken care of room.

Coffee table:    Go to the table at right beside the 2 chairs.

Open the drawer and take the paper with a list of 4 books.

Note that it has a dial on top and a drawing of an island off the castle at right and the fairy ring at left. Hmm…

Desk:    Go to the desk left of the bed.

Look close at the family tree. See the change in surname of John Mallory, Kyler’s father. The ones with asterisks are dead. Some of those that passed away are not marked with asterisk like John, Kyler’s father.

Look at the dial lock of the desk. It looks familiar. Like on the cover of the Le Bleu Lapin – Blue Rabbit book in the nursery.

Enter LAPIN and let’s see if it will open.

It didn’t open but dollhouse code 4 is obtained.

Find the island:    Let’s find the island in the drawing.

Exit through the window.

Fly to the left. Pass the garden and then up to go to the ocean.

See and land on the island. Go forward and look at the N5 etched on the rock.

Fly south to be back on the land. If you want to fly around – have fun.

To land, click on the main door of the castle.

Castle:    Go up to the library.

Library:   

Book shelf beside Kyler:    Take the Hydroponics and Aeroponics book from top shelf behind the horse.

Book shelf beside the desk:    Take the Ersatz Quidnuncs from left top shelf and the Nautical Cartography from top right shelf.

Desk:    Take the Zoopraxiscope book from the desk.

Tower desk code:    The paper from the coffee table has the picture of the desk lock.

The desk lock needs 5 letters. There are 4 books in the list and the drawing of the island with the N5 etched on it.

Each of the 4 books has inscription on the inside cover. These are the clues to the letter.

Based on the etching on the rock in the island, one of the letters is N and it is in the 5th position.

Let’s check the inscription in each book for the first 4 letters:

Nautical Cartography:    To our dear friend: One year soon you’ll finally join us here. The seas await your notice. Take note of ‘one’ and ‘seas’. The first letter is C.

Zoopraxiscope:    Animals abound, in a merry round. Seated in the middle, can answer the riddle. On legs of four, they spin ever more. The X is the middle letter of Zoopraxiscope and there is a mention of ‘four. The fourth letter is X.

Hydroponics and Aeroponics: Growing without Soil – Three years into the study. By removing all the duplicates, I find that the only remaining true consonant is key. The last consonant in the title is L and it mentions 3 years.

Ersatz Quidnuncs:    When the 13 instructions on the riddle is completed, there is a set of letters that should be read aloud to make sense. I gathered on the last 8 letters to be  read Q only or Q will do. This clue refers to the second letter of the code – Q.

The desk lock code is: C Q L X N.

Castle grounds:    Exit the castle.

Tower:    See the screaming banshee come out of the tower window and fly away.

 Move forward to the grounds and automatically use the jet pack. Fly to the tower. Enter through the window.

Desk:    Enter the code: C Q L X N. The desk opens.

See Fiona’s picture. Take the key with the nursery and the bog hut’s box design.

Read Cailyn’s diary and learn about the daily life of her family, Brendan and Fiona. Fiona has her own jetpack. The destroyed part of the castle beside the library is the false laboratory.

Take the Nancy doll that has her car key on the neck. Exit the tower.

Castle:    Go up to the Nursery.

Nursery:    Go to the nursery.

Dollhouse 4 (optional):    The Nancy doll completes the dollhouse.

Based on the dollhouse code from the desk at the tower, place the dolls at correct positions on the dollhouse on the right.

Take the blue Easter Egg.

Castle grounds:    Exit the castle.

Fly to the bog and click on the water to be outside the hut.

Bog hut:    Enter and the hut.

Look close at the doll work desk. Use the key from the tower desk on the box with the same design as the nursery door and the key. Open the box. Look at the card in the box. Pull back from the table.

Meet the screaming banshee who we now know the identity of. How sad.

Secret Laboratory:    Nancy is pushed down into a pit. Nancy walks the tunnel.

Entrance:    Look at the lever right of the entryway. Pull down the lever. Ooops!

Matt:    Meet Matt. Learn what happened to him and information about the secret lab.

Laboratory:    Look around.

Desk:    Go right and check the desk.

Read the work log (rocket notes) and learn about Brendan’s experiment.

Take note of the color codes on the second page: yellow-gray, red-purple, light brown-dark brown, blue-black, pink-green.

Learn there is propellant already installed in the rocket.

Remember the launch controller preparation steps:    Insert safety key, flip first switch to check continuity. Green light indicates correct wire connection. Arm the rocket with second switch. Flip third switch to launch.

Button:    Take the clipboard hanging on the wall left of the poster. See a button ‘in case of lockdown, press to open’. Press the button.

Chemical’s clean room:    See a chemical storage clean room.

There is a key at the back of the room. We have to remove all the chemicals in the way. There storage bins for 1, 2 and 3.

Periodic table:    Study the poster above the desk. See what chemicals can be stored together.

Category 1:    NH3, P, Na, K, Al and H.

Category 2:    Ag, H2O, Cl, LOX, C and I.

Category 3:    F, Ab, Hg, Br, Rn and Cs.

Store the chemicals:    Look close at the clean room and see the chemicals, large and small container. There are 3 storage bins for category 1, 2 and 3 chemicals.

Use the claw hand to pick up the chemical and move it inside the appropriate storage bin and drop it in there.

To move the claw, use the directional arrows at right.

To pick up the chemicals, open the claw wider than the size of the chemical. The claw has an inner hook that circles the chemical and the outer clamp.

Move the inner hook of the claw as close to the chemical and then close the clamp.

Use the graph line to center the clamp, gauge the size to open the clamp and the inner hook.

Move the chemical and place it inside the appropriate storage bin.

Open the claw to release the chemical inside the storage bin.

Do the right side chemicals first to clear space for access to category 2 and then category 3.

There are second chances and they start at the end of the last chemical. Good luck.

Take the rocket key.

Chalkboard:    Study the chalkboard on the wall beside the control panel.

Note the side view. The angle of the rocket is 90.1. There are 3 types of fins.

Rocket:    Go to the room in the middle and check the rocket.

It is dark but the room lights up when you get close.

Look around for it. Go to the sink area and see the nose cone on a top shelf.

The ladder has no rungs.

Ladder:    Click on the ladder with no rungs and get a close up of the puzzle.

Place the geometric shaped plates on the left to make steps for the ladder.

Right click to rotate the pieces. Click them in place.

Climb up and get the nosecone.

Place the nosecone on top of the rocket.

Fins:    Look at the base of the rocket and see that there are no fins attached.

Go back to the sink area. Check the buckets under the table. There are 3 kinds of fins.

Take the fins in the middle bucket. It is red with a white circle.

Place the fins at the base of the rocket.

Wiring:    Open the box at the base of the rocket launcher.

See the wires are tangled.

Wires:    Using the picture in the work log of Brendan, connect the wires:

 yellow-gray, red-purple, orange-brown, blue-black, green-pink.

Follow the numbered end to the colored circle at right to know what color it is.

Then insert it to the appropriate circle on the left.

Insert the wires by clicking on the numbered end and then clicking on the colored circle on the left:
