Legend Of Kyrandia Companion

• With the multi-purpose cursor, it can be too easy to, say, cross a broken bridge. Make sure you keep an extra save file handy and save whenever something looks risky.
• Inventory management becomes tricky: some items are not necessary for completion of the game. I'll state in the Inventory page what is necessary and what isn't.
• In the early stage of the game, pick up any gem you may find lying around.
• In the maze: drop berries in each and every room to prevent you from accidents.
• Die occasionally, just for a laugh.

Go left, left, talk to Darm. He'll send you to get a quill. Walk south two times and talk to the man: he'll tell you to sow if you want to harvest. Go to songbird: there's a walnut there. Go to the oaks (and on the way, you may want to leave some gems at the altar). Get an acorn. Roam around the land to find other gems and a PINECONE. When you have the pinecone, put it, the walnut and the acorn, in the hole in the dying woods. The bush will give you healing powers.
Go to the songbird and click on the yellow stone in the amulet. The bird leaves you a quill. Take it to Darm. He'll give you a scroll and tell you something about stones and the altar.
In total you'll need 12 stones. You can get a ruby from the ruby tree (make sure to heal yourself after the snake bite with the amulet), a sunstone and a TULIP from the brook (click towards the bottom of the screen to find it), the garnet and peridot, but the remaining 8 must be found by scrounging the countryside: you may have to search all over the first land as well.
Once you have the sunstone, ruby, garnet, peridot, sapphire, diamond, opal, onyx, pearl, topaz, amethyst and aquamarin, take them all to the altar. Place the sunstone in the golden dish, observe what happens and save the game.
You'll need to find the 3 other stones that need to be placed in the correct order on the dish. This is random and can only be solved by trial and error.
Take the flute, play it a little. Then go to Darm and learn you'll need to traverse the Serpent's Grotto.
Enter the grotto: Malcolm will come out. As soon as you can, throw the knife back at him: anything else, even saving the game, is lethal.
Enter the grotto and save your game.

You COULD map the caves yourself, but you'll be on the brink of insanity if you do, so copy this one.
The caves are dark. If you are in a dark spot when you have no fireberries on you, you'll die. Fireberries will burn infinitely on the bush or on the floor, but you can only carry them for 3 screens. So, what's the strategy?
Leave all your belongings at the cave entrance. Pick 4 berries at the bush after the crossing, and drop 1 in each dark room you enter. Save your game if you have 1 berry left, and hope your next room has fireberries in it.
Another strategy I like to use: name or number all fireberry bushes on the map. Use a second save file at these bushes, and save it every time you have found something. In the save file, be sure to enter the location: since all bushes look alike, it's very easy to get lost, even with a map.
Marching around the caves, pick up 5 stones to open the front door. Four of them are marked on the map: the fifth is at the Cavern Of Twilight, sneakily hidden in the grey area at the right. Also pick up the gold coin.
Don't pick up the emeralds, they're dead weight. The llava river can be crossed using the scroll: behind it lies an iron key you'll need.
Go to the Pantheon and talk to the purple things.
Put the 5 stones in the dish at the treacherous crossing. Leave the cave, go to the well and drop the golden coin in it. You'll receive a moonstone. Put this in the Pantheon altar to get the power of flight. Use this to cross the chasm. Be sure to leave a berry in the room after that for easy return.

Let's check, do you have everything you need? If you want to continue the game, you'll need a red gem, a blue gem, a yellow gem, a yellow tulip from the brook, the iron key, the freeze scroll and 2 powers. If you are playing in the next land and discovered you forgot to drop a berry in the last grotto room, turn into a purple floater before entering the cave.Not sure if it works, haven't tried it yet.

Pick up the apple. Go three screens to the right. Wake up in the lab. Talk to Zynthia. She'll tell you to get water from the fountain. Take a bottle. Walk 4 screens to the left. Malcolm leaves. Walk to the fire bush, use the ice spell, get the orb. Now you can drop the scroll to save space. Pick a blueberry at the blueberry bush. Go to the fountain, click the chrystal on it. Fill the bottle. Click it on yourself. You now have DeMagnetizing Power. Fill it again. Give it to Zynthia. Give her the blueberry. She'll tell you to get a fresh one. Go do that, then return only to find her missing. Drop the berry, tulip, gems and flasks. You'll need 4 of them in total, the lab provides you with an infinite number. Just leave, then re-enter to find a new one on the Flask Spot.
Then, move the rug to proceed to the next land.

Pick up a red flower at the beach. Go back to the lab. Put a red gem and the flower in the cauldron. Fill 2 flasks with red liquid.
Put the tulip and the topaz in the cauldron. Fill 1 flask.
Put the blueberry and a blue gem in the cauldron. Fill 1 flask with blue stuff.
Go to the emerald potion mixer. Put a blue and a red potion in the openings to get a purple potion. Do the same thing with the red and yellow flask for an orange potion.
Go to the floating chalice, the grail-thing. Use your blue power to get it. Pipsqueak runs off with it. Go a screen to the right, make sure you have an apple, drink the PURPLE potion, enter, talk to Pipsqueak and give him your apple. Leave and take the grail out of the bush to the right. Now go to the beach and take an orchid.
At this point, you'll need the iron key, the chalice, the orchid, and 3 powers in your amulet. Don't continue unless you have all these things.
Stand on the beach and drink the orange potion.

When you've landed, go right to the grave. Look at it; it's your parents' grave. Place an orchid to talk to your mother and receive the power of invisibility. Go right, approach the gates with the dragons. Make yourself invisible and put the key on it. Enter the castle.
In the castle, there's much that's not needed: the bedrooms for instance can all be skipped. You'll miss landscape and jokes if you do. In Brynn's bedroom, you can pick up a fish you could eat, but you don't need it. The same goes for the ankh in Zanthia's room.
After Malcolm leaves, go upstairs, right, forward, left. Herman steps out with your saw. Click on the yellow force on your amulet. He'll fall asleep. Enter the room. Take the mallet next to the bells. Number the bells 1 to 4 from left to right, play 4 1 2 3 to move the painting up and take the golden key.
Go downstairs to the kitchen. Take the golden poker from the table: it's the royal scepter.
Go to the study. Let the book words spell "OPEN". Take the crown. Press the face on the fireplace to enter the secret passage.
Follow the map to go to the scene with the magnetic forcefield. Use your blue force to remove it. Then forward, left, click on the awkward tile and take the golden key.
The keys fit on the big doors in the hall. Click them on there and enter. Put the scepter on the left, crown in the middle and the chalice on the right pillow. The door opens and Malcolm appears. When he goes away, go in the room to your right. Make yourself invisible. Now move in front of the mirror on the right. Malcolm's spell bounces back at him and you've won the game!

MARCH TO DIE

• Try to cross the bridge before it's fixed, with or without Herman there.
• Getting bitten by the snake without curing yourself, you'll die in 3 screens.
• Getting turned to stone (or in the floppy version: knifed) by Malcolm at the serpent grotto
• Wandering in a dark part of the cave without berries or purple spell.
• Crossing the volcanic river without use of the scroll.
• Talking to the creature in Zanthia's pond.
• Drinking a green potion.
• Crossing the sea as a purple glob.
• Trying to pass Herman without the yellow spell
• Depending on your version, being in the Kyragem room without using the red spell.
