Overview
...............................................................................
This document will of course contain spoilers for the game. However, I have
tried to organise it so you can find the information you need to get past a
particular sticking point without seeing too much else, but the way puzzles
are interrelated will sometimes make this difficult to avoid.
In common with many Walkthroughs I have seen, the Table of Contents below
lists short codes or "tags" against entries (e.g. "TEST") -- these can be used
to search the document and get directly to the relevant section. Following a
trick I saw in one person's FAQ (unfortunately I cannot remember who),
references TO a section will be enclosed in braces: "{TEST} " while the tag
that MARKS the section will be enclosed in square brackets: "[B4SF]". This
way, if you search for "[B4SF]" you will only find the section itself and not
find the references to it (of which there may be more than one).

Press "Ctrl-F" in most browsers or text viewers to search
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
o Introductory sections include a "Solving Adventure Games" -- a few notes
that may help a first-time player. These briefly mention the first puzzle
of the main but don't really give too much away. The Introduction also
includes a FAQs section contains Frequently Asked Questions -- the ones
that seem to catch the most people out.
o The main part of the document is a Walkthrough for the main part of the
game. Throughout the game, you have to collect various items to solve
puzzles; these puzzles pretty much define the order you have to do things,
although some variation is possible.
o The next part is an "after game" walkthrough: During the main game you
collect certain items (Butterflies, Book Pages); not all of these will be
available the first time through. After you've finished the main game,
you can carry on looking for things you've missed or couldn't get.
o Reference sections follow listing puzzle dependencies (what you need to do
or get to solve puzzles); locations of all Book Pages; and a listing of
all Quest Points (the measure of how much of the main game you've
completed).
o The final section, "Odds and Sods", contains acknowledgments, revision
history and any other interesting things I've found about the game.

Revision History
Sections in this document are marked by a TAG enclosed in square brackets;
references TO those sections use the same tag enclosed in braces. Thus there
may be several references "{TEST} " to a section that begins with the tag
"[TEST]". If you search by swapping the "{} " for "[]", you will only find
the destination section, and not any references to it.

About this Walkthrough
...............................................................................
"Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'" is my second
Walkthrough/FAQ (after "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", both for the
GameBoy Advance). I'd probably do more, but nearly every game I play already
has at least one excellent Walthrough already written, so there doesn't seem
much point!
You can contact me via my website (www.AldursLair.com/faqs) or by email (use
"faqs" and "AldursLair.com", joined by the "@" sign; please put "Lemony
Snicket", "Unfortunate Events" or similar in the subject line so that it
doesn't get lost amongst the junk). I normally read and reply to all
messages, but please bear the following points in mind:
o Corrections to facts are welcome, as are specific suggestions for
improvements.
o Critical comments are fine, but just saying "it sucks" isn't very helpful;
please keep criticism polite and positive.
o Incomprehensible messages (i.e. those with appalling grammar or in "leet
speak") are likely to be sent to the trash folder.
I keep all GameFAQs Boards for which I've written Guides on my "Favourites"
list, so I should spot (and usually reply to) any messages within a day or so.
For "Lemony Snicket", the board is:

All contributions used in future versions will be suitably acknowledged

Solving Adventure Games [SAGA]
...............................................................................
Once you get the Introduction out of the way (during which Lemony Snicket
pretty much tells you exactly what to do), the first puzzle of the "game
proper" is opening a locked door. Again, you're guided pretty closely as what
you have to do, and the puzzle is nicely "self-contained" -- there are no real
"distractions" to solving it.
However, once you get through the door, the puzzles become more intertwined --
something you need to solve one puzzle will only be available when you solve a
second; to solve the second, you might need something else and so on.
Although none of this gets TOO complicated, here are a few tips to make all
this easier:
o When you find an object, often, one of the children, or Lemony, will often
say a few words about it.
o For an object, try to interact with it (using the "R" button) as much as
possible: examine it, open it, push/pull it, tinker with it or try using
something else you are carrying on it.
o When you meet a person, don't just talk to them: remember to use DISCUSS
and TEASE. Also offer anything you might be carrying.
In all the responses you get from trying the actions above, watch out for
words in RED (I show these in UPPER CASE) -- these will often give you a clue
as to what you need to solve the puzzle, or what you might get to be able to
solve further puzzles.
To illustrate this advice, I will give a completely made-up example.
Example Game
------------
Early in a game, you come across a Small Boy sat on a stool inside the front
door of a house. The first thing to do is to talk to the boy:
PERSON Small Boy
------ ---------
Talk I've been told to sit on this STOOL until the POST arrives.
Then I have to take the POST to the master of the house.
To get more information, you might use the DISCUSS and TEASE interactions; in
the example, these give:
Discuss I hope the POST arrives soon; I've not had my breakfast yet!
Talk You can't take the STOOL; I'd have nowhere to sit until the POST
arrives.
The words STOOL and POST are highlighted in RED throughout, so that's a clue
that they are significant objects in the game. However, at the moment, you
don't have too much to go on. For now, you might want to just make a note as
follows:
PUZZLE Small Boy (Ground Floor)
------ ------------------------
??? STOOL and POST
Suppose a little later in this example game you are exploring the Basement of
the house and you find a High Shelf. You try to interact with this (as you
should all objects you find), but get the message:
OBJECT High Shelf
------ ----------
Examine The shelf is too high. Perhaps you could reach it if you had a
STOOL?
The clue might not be as explicit as this; a harder clue might be "The shelf
is too high. You'd need something to STAND ON to reach it.".
In either case, reaching the shelf is obviously a new puzzle. Whenever you
find a new puzzle, you should get into the habit of reviewing the notes you've
made to see if anything you already know about will help. In this case, it
looks like you could use the STOOL the Small Boy is sitting on to reach the
HIGH SHELF. You can now update your notes as follows:
PUZZLE High Shelf (Basement)
------ ---------------------
Need Stool
Gives ???
PUZZLE Small Boy (Ground Floor)
------ ------------------------
Need Post?
Gives Stool
This tells you that you need the Stool to get to the High Shelf (but you don't
know what you will find there) and that you'll probably get the Stool from the
Small Boy, once something to do with the Post happens.
Later, when exploring outside the house, you find a postman's sack left by the
side of the road. Examining the sack, you find it contains some POST for the
house. It doesn't look like it'll get delivered by the postman, so you pick
up the Post and push it through the front door of the house. Back inside the
house, you find that the Small Boy has disappeared (with the Post) leaving the
Stool behind. Since the Small Boy has left, you can take the Stool and use it
to reach whatever is lying on the High Shelf!
The important points to remember are (a) interact with everything; (b) take
anything that's not nailed down; and (c) whenever you find something new,
think back to any unsolved problems to see if it might help (and keep notes
about problems if it helps).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frequently Asked Questions [FAQS]
...............................................................................
Here I will list any questions (and their answers!) that I think crop up often
enough to warrant special mention. If you think of any additional questions
that should be included, please let me know.
Obviously, if you read through these BEFORE you're stuck, you're likely to
find things out before you've had a chance to work them out for yourself --
things like this are called SPOILERS because they can spoil the game if you're
playing normally. A couple of tips to avoid seeing more than you want:
o The best way is to ask someone else (who's not playing the game) to look
through these answers to see if there's something that will help. It
doesn't matter if THEY see too much -- provided they're not a blabber-
mouth!
o If you have to look through yourself, try focusing only on the questions
and not the answers.
o One method I've found useful is to shrink the browser or editor window
that you're viewing this document in so that only a couple of lines are
visible. Then search for a KEYWORD to do with your problem (e.g. HANDBAG,
HOOK). Because you can only see a couple of lines of text, you are less
likely to see other answers.
What do I have to do with the Skipping Stones?
----------------------------------------------
Nothing really... I don't think it matters what score you get.
How do I deal with a White-Faced Woman throwing Powder Bombs?
-------------------------------------------------------------
Getting rid of her is quite simple -- a few Apple Cores or a couple of solid
blasts of Water will do (I prefer water). The main thing is to deal with her
as quickly as possible, as you can't (safely) hang around think what to do
next while she's active.
How do I deal with a White-Faced Woman throwing her Handbag (Purse/Pocketbook)?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This one is trickier, as she can only be hurt at certain times. The clue to
beating her is in her challenge the first time you meet:
Why you! I'll swat you like a fly, and DON'T YOU DARE
AVOID ME!
Doing the opposite of what an enemy tells you sounds like a good idea, so
AVOID her (or, at least, her handbag)!
She'll alternate between throwing it high or low -- either duck or jump as
appropriate. After about three misses she'll get in a bit of a tizzy and
stomp her feet for a bit. This is the only time she's vulnerable to your
attacks so either throw Apple Cores (Violet), squirt Water (Klaus) or roll
over her (Sunny).
I personally favour Sunny, since she's small enough to avoid the high throws
without having to duck -- you only have to jump and roll.
You will probably need about three attacks to get rid of her.
How do I deal with the Hook Handed Man (as an enemy)?
-----------------------------------------------------
Much nastier... not only can he only be harmed at certain times; he can also
damage you (i.e. your Misery Meter will rise) if you attack at other times!
Again the clue to beating him is in his challenge when you first meet:
So you kids think you're pretty smart, huh? Well, I
bet you won't get the JUMP on me!
In this case, you have to JUMP over him and attack from behind. However,
there's a slight complication in that you MUST NOT TAKE DAMAGE as you jump
over him (i.e. your character mustn't flash white). If you do this
successfully, his head will droop -- this indicates that it is safe to attack.
Some tips:
o Every now and then, he bends down and sparks a hook on the floor before
throwing it at you -- this is obviously the best time to try jumping over
him (although it CAN be done when he's standing).
o I generally found Klaus the best to use when dealing with a Hook Handed
Man (he doesn't seem to be AS affected if you attack at the wrong time).
o The first time you meet him, I found practising as Violet helps -- if you
attack with Apple Cores when you didn't get the jump right (i.e. when he
won't take damage) you can see them bounce back towards you much more
easily. If they don't bounce back, you did the jump right and he's taking
damage. Once you have the "rhythm" for jumping OK, I would switch to
Klaus from then on.
What do I do with the Signals by the Train Tracks?
--------------------------------------------------
There are ten signals arranged around the two train tracks. Every now and
them one or two arms rise on one of the signals and you must break it (or
them) by moving the sights over the "paddle" and pressing "B" before it/they
descend. If two arms are raised, you MUST break both of them. If you miss a
signal, you lose a "life" (shown in the top-left corner of the screen) -- lose
them all and you have to start again!
The secret here is that the order in which they're raised doesn't vary, so
it's possible to learn the order and anticipate where the next one will be.
The order is CERTAINLY constant for any given game, and I THINK it's the same
for every game, in which case the following will help:
(6)|__|(4)\__\(5) (8)
(2) |__| \__\
(1) |__| (9) \__\(7) (3)
If this DOESN'T work for your game, just note down the order they DO appear in
for your game.

()===========================================================================()
After a short introduction, designed as a tutorial on the most common
controls, the game is divided into three BOOKS -- one for each of the
guardians with which the children are placed. This Walkthrough is similarly
subdivided.
Within each Book, the Walkthrough is divided into a number of ROOMS (when
indoors) or AREAS (when outdoors); e.g. LIBRARY, LACHRYMOSE LANE etc. Each
room or area has a separate section in the walkthrough -- often several
sections as you have to visit many of them more than once.
Except for trivial cases where you're just passing through a room on the way
to another, all these sections begin with a heading that lists the number of
BUTTERFLIES, QUEST POINTS and BOOK PAGES you can get during this visit to the
room or area. At the end of a section, I give a CHECKPOINT that shows what it
is possible to have got by now.
Don't worry if you don't know what Butterflies, Quest Points and Book Pages
are yet; they will be introduced properly as you meet them in the
game/walkthrough. The one thing you DO need to know is that -- with a few
exceptions -- collecting Butterflies and Book Pages -- while helpful -- is not
ABSOLUTELY necessary to complete the game.
It is therefore possible that the number of each that you have does not match
what I got at each checkpoint. The goal of this Walkthrough is to show how
you can collect the maximum possible number of each as soon as they are
available. In any case, after the "main" part of the game, you can roam
freely to collect any Butterflies or Book Pages that you have missed (and
there are a number of each that you CANNOT get until after you have completed
the main game).
With a couple of exceptions, Quest Points are not optional. You can vary the
order you achieve some of them, but sooner or later you're going to have to
get them all to progress in the game. The two known exceptions are discussed
in the section "Quest Points" {QPTS} towards the end of this document.

|| Introduction ||
|| ||
()===========================================================================()
The game starts with a pretty-much scripted introduction section -- Lemony
Snicket will pop-up frequently to tell you what you need to do and how to do
it. This is really just a chance to get the used to most of the controls of
the game.
Lemony Snicket
Welcome, dear players. My name is LEMONY SNICKET and
I have created this game to chronicle the unfortunate
lives of the Baudelaire children.
It began on a day like any other. VIOLET, KLAUS, and
SUNNY were spending an afternoon at the beach. Each
had their own agenda.
Violet enjoyed INVENTIONS, Klaus preferred to READ,
and SUNNY the baby? Well, she just liked to bite on
anything she could.
Little did they know that some terribly UNFORTUNATE
news was just around the corner.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Briny Beach Butterflies --
[B1BR] Quest +4%
...............................................................................
You begin the game as Violet, the eldest of the three Baudelaire children.
There's nothing to the left, so set of walking to the right... you'll soon
come to a small wooden building in your way -- press the "A" Button (together
with LEFT) to jump on to the top. Drop down the other side and jump over a
second, taller, building the same way.
(Ignore the birds that fly off as you approach... at this stage -- but not for
long -- the creatures you meet are not a threat!)
Beyond is a third building that's just too tall to jump on to the top of...
instead, return to the top of the second building and jump straight across to
the top of the third. Drop down on the right and carry on to the right where
you'll find a closed gate blocking your path. As you approach:
Lemony Snicket
Allow me to offer some help here. To use items in the
world TAP the Object Interaction Button ("R" BUTTON).
You will need OBJECT INTERACTION to OPEN that GATE.
Move closer to the gate and an "eye" icon will appear bobbing up and down in
the middle of the screen -- this indicates that there is an OBJECT (or, later,
a PERSON) that you can INTERACT with. At the same time, the name of the
object (or person) is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Whenever you see this "eye" icon, press the Right Shoulder Button ("R") to
interact with the object or person. For objects, the choices -- from top-to-
bottom on the left, then on the right -- are:
EXAMINE Describe the object in more detail.
OPEN Attempt to open a door, cupboard or other suitable object.
PUSH/PULL Attempt to push, pull, or otherwise manipulate the object in
some suitable manner.
TINKER Fiddle about with an object in some (usually) fruitless manner.
TAKE Pick the object up and carry it with you. Generally, you should
take anything you CAN pick up with you -- you never know when it
might be useful!
USE Use some other object (that you are already carrying) on the
object under the "eye". Random use of one object on another
rarely produces an interesting response, but certain
combinations WILL have a useful effect.
For people, the options are:
TALK Have a general chat with the person.
DISCUSS This often provides more detail than just TALKing to them.
TEASE Tease, or joke with the person. As in real life, this doesn't
always give a favourable response.
GIVE Give some object (that you are already carrying) to the person.
As with USE, giving random objects to random people is unlikely
to help, but some people you meet will need certain objects.
Some notes:
o Not all options are "active" for every object or person. For example, it
would not make sense to try to OPEN a Sofa, so that option wouldn't be
shown.
o For some objects, the only sensible thing to do is to pick them up -- if
this is the case, pressing "R" will not show any options but add it
straight to your inventory.
o Many of the options above -- even when active -- won't DO anything
interesting for many objects or people. Instead, you will see a response
or comment either explaining why something cannot be done or the attempted
action does not make sense. READ THESE CAREFULLY -- they will give you
the clues as to what WILL work with the object, or what the person wants.
Pay particular attention to words in RED (I show these in UPPER CASE).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The most important point to remember is that RESPONSES CAN
CHANGE, particularly with people, when certain things
happen. Make a habit of returning to objects and
especially people if you solved one puzzle, picked up a
new object etc. -- you may well find that you'll get a
different response that will help you get further through
the game.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
In this Walkthrough, whenever you come across an object or person, I'll show
all the Interaction responses like this:
OBJECT Picket Fence Gate
------ -----------------
Examine {LS} This gate is closed. If you want to open it try HOLDING
DOWN the R BUTTON and selecting OPEN.
Tinker {V} We don't need to TINKER with it, we need to open it!
Open [the gate opens]
|NOTE In the above, the initials of character that gives the response
| is shown in front of the text. Here, "{LS} " and "{V} "
| indicate Lemony Snicket and Violet. Similarly, "{K} " means
| Klaus and "{S} " means Sunny. Sometimes a character you meet
| might give a response -- suitable initials will be used.
When an Interaction only generates an action, without anybody
saying anything, then this is shown in square brackets as above.
Now we have the gate open, walk through and carry on to the right. As you do,
Lemony Snicket starts again:
Lemony Snicket
Excellent... or should I say horrible, considering
where you are leading these children.
That doesn't sound hopeful, but we don't have much choice so carry on,
climbing the hill to the right. Near the top, Violet spots something on the
ground:
Violet
A perfect SKIPPING STONE! A stone this perfect could
skip for miles. Let's find some more so we can have a
CONTEST!
When you get to the stone, another Interaction Icon is show. Just for fun,
ignore the stone and carry on down the other side of the hill... at the bottom:
Lemony Snicket
Now, now player. You've gotten yourself into this,
you must continue to the end. Go back and use the
OBJECT INTERACTION BUTTON (R BUTTON) to TAKE that
STONE.
You can carry on after this admonishment, but you can't get far, so we may as
well deal with the stone:
OBJECT Stone
------ -----
Examine {V} A perfect skipping stone. I've calculated the curves of
all the surfaces, and this one is perfect.
Push/Pull {K} It's a STONE. We can't PULL it or USE it, we may as well
just PICK IT UP.
Take [pick up stone] {+1%}
The "{+1%} " at the end of the last response indicates that we've gained a
QUEST POINT. You started on 0% and as you progress through the game this will
steadily rise towards 100% at the end of the game. You can check your current
QUEST SCORE (and check that you've really picked up the stone) by looking at
the INVENTORY SCREEN -- press START then "R" to see this.
|NOTE This screen also shows the number of BUTTERFLIES you have
| collected, both for the current area of the game and in total.
| You will learn about these shortly after the introduction is
| over... for now, just get into the habit of checking the
| Inventory Screen frequently to check your progress.
Carry on down the right-hand side of the hill and Violet spots another Stone:
Violet
There's another SKIPPING STONE under that BOARDWALK!
Klaus
The entrance is too SMALL for me to fit through.
Lemony Snicket
Ah, perhaps I should add here that if you ever want to
change the Baudelaire Child that you are controlling,
simply press SELECT and use the + CONTROL PAD and the
A BUTTON to make your choice.
Violet
You could fit in there easily, Sunny. Would you get
that SKIPPING STONE for us?
Do as suggested and switch to Sunny (SELECT, UP to choose then "A"). Walk
under the boardwalk so you can reach the stone:
OBJECT Stone {+1%}
------ ------------
Examine A perfect skipping stone. With the wind blowing from the south,
this one should skip even better than the last.
Push/Pull {K} It's a STONE. We can't PULL it or USE it, we may as well
just PICK IT UP.
|NOTE Because picking an object is one of the most common ways to gain
| Quest Points, and because very often there is no comment when
| you do so, I will usually simplify an object block as above --
| putting the Quest Point on the first line and omitting the TAKE
| option altogether.
Once you have the second stone, carry on heading right and you'll see one
Boardwalk with a Key on it and another with a Ladder leading to it. Since we
don't have any use for a Key, just carry on and we'll come to another gate:
OBJECT Locked Gate
------ -----------
Examine {K} This looks a lot like the other gate, but this one is
LOCKED. The lock isn't like any others I've read about. It
almost looks like a SEASHELL.
Open {LS} This gate is locked. Try all you want, you won't get
through without some sort of KEY.
Tinker {LS} Nope, no room to TINKER here; I'm afraid a KEY is the only
way.
So, maybe we DO need that key after all. Return to the ladder and try to
climb. Assuming you're still playing as Sunny from before, you'll get:
Sunny
Pollawa. (My hands can't reach.)
And Klaus fares little better:
Klaus
It's up to you to climb the LADDER, Violet. I'm
fearful of heights.
So switch back to Violet and have her climb the ladder.
|NOTE For all ladders (and sets of rungs, vines etc.) you meet in the
| future, you will have to switch to Violet to be able to climb
| them. When circumstances permit, you can jump across to a
| ladder, and provided you have UP or DOWN pressed, Violet will be
| able to cling on to it.
For now, climb to the top and jump left across to the platform where you can
see the key:
OBJECT Key-Shaped Conch Shell {+1%}
------ -----------------------------
Examine {V} It's shaped like a KEY. When you hold it up to your ear,
you can hear the sound of doors opening.
Tinker {S} Jujama! (Do we need to TINKER with this? It seems useful
to me already.)
So use the TAKE option to pick it up (getting another Quest Point) and return
to the Locked Gate. As you approach:
Violet
I wonder if we could USE our SHELL to unlock the
gate...
We might as well try! Press the Interaction button ("R") again and select USE
-- you will be shown the Inventory Screen. Select the item you wish to use on
the Locked Gate (i.e. the key) with the + Pad and press "A". The gate will
open and you gain another Quest Point:
OBJECT Locked Gate
------ -----------
Use [Key-Shaped Conch Shell] {+1%}
|NOTE In "real-life" you normally only bother carrying around things
| you know you're going to need; with Adventure Games, it's nearly
| always the other way around... the motto is: "If it's not
| nailed down, pick it up and carry it around just in case you
| might find a use for it".
Seasoned Adventure Game players will nearly always have picked
up the key as soon as they saw it even if they don't know what
it's for yet... when they later come across a locked gate, they
don't need to go back for the key.
As you walk through the gate, the words "OCEAN'S EDGE" appear at the bottom of
the screen (NOTE -- there is NO Interaction Icon shown). Whenever you see
this, it means you can move from the current area of the game (in this case
"Briny Beach") to a new one (here, "Ocean's Edge"). These transition points
tend to occur at the end of a scrolling area, or where there is a door or
window in the current area that leads to someplace else. Here, we have little
choice but to visit Ocean's Edge...

Violet
Let's see if I can get 10 SKIPS with these stones.
Lemony Snicket
Tap the A BUTTON and B BUTTON quickly to power your
throw.
Press + CONTROL PAD UP or + CONTROL PAD DOWN to aim
your throw.
If you now quickly alternate between tapping the "A" and "B" buttons, you will
see the POWER METER in the bottom-left corner of the screen begin to rise. At
the same time, pressing UP or DOWN will alter the ANGLE at which you throw the
stone (the arrow to the left of the Power Meter). This is complicated by the
fact that while you adjust the angle, you will lose power, and while you tap
"A" and "B", the angle will gradually drop to horizontal. As you're doing
this, Violet will be swinging her arm around in circles -- after a while she
will release the stone.
The two numbers in the top-left of the screen show the number of BOUNCES the
stone makes, and the total DISTANCE covered for the current stone. The two
numbers in the top-right show the same information for your BEST stone. In
total, you have five attempts to try and get the most bounces or longest
distance (the counter in the bottom-right corner initially shows that there
are four more stones besides the one in your hand).
Despite what Violet implies, you don't have to beat 10 bounces; just throw the
stone five times and you will be returned to the Briny Beach.
|NOTE Having played the Skipping Mini-Game here, you will be able to
| access it in the future through the "EYE" Icon on the game's
| main (New/Load/Credits) screen.
|NOTE You don't actually have to have collected any of the stones to
| play the Skipping Mini-Game!

You return to the beach where you left -- just past the gate. Jump up the
wooden structures to the right and you will find a third stone:
OBJECT Stone {+1%}
------ ------------
Examine {S} Hydrop! (This stone looks pretty good for skipping, but I
think I'll just bite it!)
Push/Pull {K} It's a STONE. We can't PULL it or USE it, we may as well
just PICK IT UP.
If you try to ignore the stone, Lemony will pop-up with the same message as
before about needing to go back and collect it. Once you have all three
stones, carry on walking to the right and a gentleman will appear from the
right and announce himself:
Gentleman
Let me have those stones. Stones are dangerous
playthings, children.
This seems a bit abrupt, as we don't yet know who he is. As with any new
object or person, approach and use the Interaction Button ("R") when the "eye"
icon appears. Like with objects, The name of the person is shown at the
bottom of the screen.
PERSON Mr. Poe
------ -------
Talk I'm afraid I have some heavy news for you children.
Discuss Stones are no playthings for children, before you hear what I
have to say, you'll have to hand them over.
He seems pretty insistent about those stones... and as not much else is going
to happen until you comply, you may as well hand them over:
PERSON Mr. Poe
------ -------
Give [Stones] {+1%}
|NOTE Normally I would show this response with the Talk/Discuss
| responses; it's only separate because of my waffle in between.
Unlike an object interaction, virtually all responses are given
by the person you're talking to, so there's no need to use "{}
". I only use these if someone else makes the response.
Having satisfied his desire for stones, Mr. Poe now gives you his grave news:
Mr. Poe
Children, I'm here on behalf of your parents.
They'd be here on their own behalf, but they're quite
dead.
Klaus
Dead! What happened?
Mr. Poe
There was a terrible fire... not that there are many
nice ones... and they couldn't escape. Your house
burned to the ground.
Violet
But what's to become of us? Where will we live?
Mr. Poe
You are to live with a distant relative, Count Olaf.
Violet
Count Olaf? How is he related to us?
Mr. Poe
He is either a third cousin four times removed or a
fourth cousin three times removed. He's an actor by
trade.
Lemony Snicket [over film stills]
But Mr. Poe's story about the Baudelaire children's
parents turned out to be an amusing misunderstanding
and they all had a hearty chuckle about it later on.
Oh, if only that were true. For indeed, Mr. Poe
escorted the dejected orphans to the ramshackle
residence of their new guardian, Count Olaf.
Being an actor by trade, Count Olaf made a grand
entrance to greet his new wards; it will be somewhat
harder to ever make him exit again.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the orphans
were sent to their room, Mr. Poe was shooed out the
door, and Count Olaf was left alone with his evil
schemes and monstrous designs...

Violet
We're locked in. This Olaf doesn't make a good first
impression.
Klaus
Bad first impression?! This house is a depressing
pigsty.
Sunny
Zibble! (Did you see that eye tattoo on his ankle?
Creepy!)
Violet
Well I think we should try to give him the benefit of
the doubt.
[walks to one side]
Aha! See, there are three SWITCHES up there. I'll
bet they open the door. Count Olaf probably forgot
how small children were, and thought we'd be tall
enough to reach them.
Klaus
So then we're just as stuck, even if our first
impression is wrong.
Violet
I've got an idea. There might be enough junk around
here for me to build something to flip those switches.
Root around and see if we can find a SOUP CAN, an ICE
CREAM SCOOPER, and some sort of HAND-CRANKED DEVICE.
INVENTION Apple-Chucker
--------- -------------
Components Soup Can
Ice Cream Scooper
Hand-Cranked Device
There are BATS to the left, so avoid! (At the moment, only Sunny CAN harm
them, and then it's not easy; for the moment, they're best avoided).
Head right and you'll find a Cardboard Box; press the Interaction Button
(Right Shoulder Button) to open it, revealing an empty SOUP CAN. Press the
Interaction Button ("R") again to pick it up -- this will increase your QUEST
SCORE by one percent.
COMPONENT Soup Can {+1%}
--------- ---------------
Take {K} Yuck. Thank goodness it's empty.
Carry on to the right and you'll see lots of APPLE CORES that have spilled out
of a TOY BOX:
Violet
APPLE CORES! That's perfect! My device can chuck
APPLE CORES at those SWITCHES! Let's COLLECT as many
as we can for ammunition.
As you walk over these, they will be kicked up to the top-right of the screen
where they increase your AMMUNITION METER. At this stage, you can carry a
maximum of fifty. Where they were, you find a Sign:
OBJECT Sign
------ ----
Examine {V} The sign says 'Toys', but it's a bowl of apple cores. Does
Count Olaf play with his food?
Push/Pull No matter how hard you try to play with them, these are still
apple cores and not toys.
Tinker {K} Come now, do we need to break such a nonsensical sign?
|NOTE There are Apple Cores dotted all around this level for you to
| collect. The pile in front of the Toy Box will reappear every
| now and then, so you should have no trouble filling your supply.
You won't be able to do anything WITH the Apple Cores until
you've built the Apple-Chucker, but it's worth collecting them
as you walk around.
Jump up onto the dresser and jump up and to the left onto a ledge. Continue
up and to the left, jumping gaps and passing over the three switches. In the
top-left corner of the area you will see an entrance to the CRAWLSPACE.
You'll need to switch to SUNNY to enter.
On the way to the Crawlspace, you'll pass a window that's been painted shut:
OBJECT Window (Painted Shut)
------ ---------------------
Examine {V} The world on the other side looks wonderful. Too bad we're
on this side of the glass.
Open {K} It's PAINTED shut. We could open it if only we had
something to REMOVE the PAINT.

You find yourself in a confined space. As you proceed, Klaus notices
something:
Klaus
Look Violet, a BUTTERFLY. I've always been interested
in LEPIDOPTERA.
Sunny
Kadiddlehopper? (Stop using such big words Klaus and
tell us what it means.)
Klaus
That's a scientific term that means BUTTERFLIES and
MOTHS. I've just started researching butterflies, and
I am trying to study as many as I can. If we can get
CLOSE to it, I can add its data to my COLLECTION.
|NOTE Collecting Butterflies will open up new items that you can buy
| in the ATTIC screen (press START then "L"). Initially, you can
| only buy items from the top row; as you collect more
| Butterflies, the other rows will become available.
The items available range from the "interesting" (concept art
work, stills from the film) to the useful (upgrades to make the
Inventions that Violet dreams up better).
Each item in the Attic costs a certain number of PHOTOGRAPHS --
you will learn more about these, and how to use the Attic Screen
shortly.
Follow the Butterfly down a couple of vertical shafts ahead -- you may need to
make use of a MOVING PLATFORM to climb back up and to the right. Just time
your jump to land on the platform, then jump from it as it moves to the right.
|TIP When jumping to the platform (and to ledges), you can often
| stand below the ledge or platform and jump THROUGH them to end
| up on top.
You will soon come to a stone wall blocking your path. As you near it:
Lemony Snicket
Sunny is not your average child. Press the B BUTTON
to ROLL.
Do as instructed, and Sunny will smash through the wall and fall down a shaft
beyond (probably catching the Butterfly Klaus wants).
|NOTE As well as smashing through walls, Sunny's ROLL attack is the
| only way you've got at the moment for hurting enemies... and
| you're about to start meeting a few! Simply sit near an enemy,
| facing them, and press "B" to Roll over them. One Roll will be
| enough to dispatch most enemies at the moment.
Be careful though! After a Roll, Sunny needs to pause and get
her breath back. A gauge in the top-right corner of the screen
next to Sunny's face is initially full, and shows GREEN -- this
means she can perform a Roll. As soon as she does, the gauge
will empty and begin refilling in RED -- Sunny cannot Roll while
the gauge is red. Once full, it will turn back green and she's
ready for anything!
Be careful at the bottom, as there are Spiders around -- if you get hit by
these, your MISERY METER (shown in the top-left corner of the screen) will
rise.
|NOTE The Misery Meter rises whenever you are hit by a Spider, a Bat,
| or any one of the numerous other creatures that will attack you
| as progress through the game. If the Misery Meter gets all the
| way to the top, you collapse with exhaustion and will have to
| start the current room or area from the beginning again. You
| keep any Butterflies or other special objects you have
| collected, but most "baddies" will have returned.
Sunny's ROLL attack ("B") CAN be used to attack enemies, but for
the moment, it's probably best just to avoid them.
Make your way to the floor and head left to find a small crate blocking your
way; as you approach:
Sunny
El-Buttah! (This CRATE looks incredibly pleasing to
BITE [L BUTTON]).
Crawl up to it and press the "L" shoulder button -- the Crate shatters and you
can pass through the gap to the left.
Beyond, you will find a Water Pipe -- these are appear throughout the game,
but as you don't have any use for them yet, ignore it. Climb up the ledges
and head to the right where you'll enter a pipe in which you'll find this
area's second Butterfly. To the right there are a number of Spiders ready to
pounce.
|TIP You can either ROLL into them as Sunny ("B") or, if you time it
| right, you can just head straight through.
Jump into another pipe on the right to find the HAND-CRANKED DEVICE (press the
Right Shoulder Button to pick it up).
COMPONENT Hand-Cranked Device {+1%}

As you emerge back into the Orphan's Room, look to your left and you'll see
the only Butterfly for this area, flapping around a chandelier. You won't
have been able to reach this from the ledge below, so now's the time to jump
left and collect it.
Staying as Sunny, drop down and to the right; in the far right-hand corner,
you'll see a hole in the floor: Although you can drop into it as any of the
children, only Sunny is small enough to explore under the floor.
Head left and you'll see the ICE CREAM SCOOPER. As before, press the Right
Shoulder Button ("R") and you'll pick it up.
COMPONENT Ice Cream Scoop {+1%}
--------- ----------------------
If you've been following the Walkthrough, this should give you all the parts
you need for Violet's first invention: the Apple-Chucker. You'll be taken to
the INVENTION screen where you'll be forced to build it. The directions from
Lemony should be straight forward. Of the three positions for the Ice Cream
Scoop, you need the upper one.
INVENTION Apple-Chucker
--------- -------------
Use Providing Violet is carrying some Apple Cores (see the counter
in the upper-right corner of the screen), pressing "B" will
throw them. Keeping "B" pressed will throw them continuously,
although it's probably quicker to tap the button several times.
There are a number of ways that Violet can chuck Apple Cores:
o Standing normally, Apple Cores will be chucked almost
horizontally, travelling quite away in the direction she's
facing before coming to the ground -- this is best for tall
enemies directly in front of Violet.
o If she crouches down (keep DOWN pressed), then they will not
travel anywhere as far -- this is best for smaller enemies
at her feet.
o If you keep UP pressed, she will raise the Apple-Chucker to
nearly vertical. When thrown, the Apple Cores will describe
a high, thin trajectory and land quite close. This is
useful for hitting things above her head, or for getting an
Apple Core over a nearby wall.
o Finally, Violet can jump ("A") and throw Apple Cores while
in mid-air. This can be useful if the target is otherwise
out of reach.
Apart from chucking Apple Cores the various enemies the children
meet, you will come across many APPLE CORE SWITCHES -- you've
already seen three of these surrounding the door out of the
Orphan's Room. The effect when these are hit varies, but often
will either open doors or activate a Moving Platform.
Initially, the Apple-Chucker can carry 50 Apple Cores, but the
capacity can be increased with INVENTION UPGRADES -- these are
"add-ons" to a basic Invention that enhance performance. You
will soon get your first Upgrade.
When you've built the Apple-Chucker, return to the locked door in the middle
of the room -- you'll be able to chuck Apple Cores at the Switches and open it
(you need to hit all three switches). To hit the middle switch, stand to one
side and just press "B" (the switch will drop a green arm when triggered).
For the other two, stand under the first switch and press UP on the D-Pad
before throwing an Apple Core (with "B" again). This will throw the Apple
Cores at an angle so you can hit the switches.
It's probably wise to save the game now.
If you restore the game now, or enter and return from the Crawlspace, you will
find the place has been overrun with enemies (and some Photographs hanging in
mid-air).
|NOTE Killing enemies with Apple Cores can give Photographs (allows
| you to buy things in the Attic), Full Heart Lockets (lowers your
| Misery Meter by a lot), Broken Heart Lockets (lowers your Misery
| Meter by a bit), or more Apple Cores.
|TIP Photographs reappear when you re-enter a screen. A good place
| to collect them is from the Orphan's Room: leave to the Upstairs
| Hall (keep UP pressed, and you'll return straightaway). Do this
| as Sunny, and head right (jump for one photo; roll over a
| spider; collect apples; jump over the bed; drop into the hole;
| roll left over another spider and three photos). Repeat as
| required.
|NOTE You can collect photographs in the Orphan's Room before you are
| told about them in the Upstairs Hall (see below). By using the
| trick above, you can buy all the top row of items (assuming
| you've at least one butterfly), EXCEPT the very right-hand item
| (an extra Ice Cream Scoop to increase the rate of fire).
You may not want to bother with the Concept Art or the Film
Stills, but it is worth collecting enough Photographs for the
first upgrade.
UPGRADE Apple-Chucker
------- -------------
Cost 150 (Level 1)
Purpose This Large Can will let you to [sic] carry 70 apples.
When you've collected as many Photographs as you can be bothered to, switch to
Violet and enter the Upstairs Hall.

As you enter, there's this area's sole Butterfly to the right. Collect this
then head left to find a note from Olaf:
OBJECT Olaf's Note
------ -----------
Examine Orphans, come see me in the KITCHEN. It is DOWN the stairs and
to the RIGHT. Your Loving Parental Substitute, Olaf.
Head further left and you'll see a STAGE HAND -- a nasty piece of work who'll
cause you Misery unless you're careful. Switch to Violet if necessary and
take him out with Apple Cores.
Further to the left you'll see what may be your first Photographs: walk into
these; Klaus will want to collect them and Lemony will tell you about them:
Klaus
Photographs of burned buildings! Very curious. I'm
going to hold onto these to see if I can piece
together some clues.
Lemony Snicket [over The Attic screen]
Dearest Player, I feel a responsibility here to step
in and explain. Photographs let you unlock pictures
and upgrades.
The left column [two columns] unlocks concept art from
the Lemony Snicket game!
The middle section [six columns] unlocks movie scenes!
Among the more valuable things you can buy are
upgrades for Violet's Inventions. Invention upgrades
are in the right section [two columns].
Klaus's Butterfly Collection makes a difference!
The more butterflies you collect, the more items will
become available for purchase.
Select the button on the right end of the row and
press the A Button to purchase an Ice Cream Scoop
upgrade for the Apple-Chucker.
You are now forced to buy a second Ice Cream Scoop for Violet's Apple-Chucker.
UPGRADE Apple-Chucker
------- -------------
Cost 10 (Level 1)
Purpose This Ice Cream Scoop will allow you to chuck apples faster.
|NOTE Even if you haven't collected any photographs at this point, you
| are given the ten you need to buy the Upgrade.
Along the floor of the Upstairs Hall you will find a couple more STAGE HANDS
to deal with, as well as a Bat and a couple of Spiders. Deal with these as
you see fit. At the left-hand edge, you will find stairs leading down to the
Downstairs Hall.
However, before you descend to look for the kitchen, you should explore the
upper levels of the hall. On a ledge above the middle of the room you will
find a strange man who has been tied up:
PERSON Hook Handed Man
------ ---------------
Talk When I complete this exercise, OLAF will MARK my PROGRESS
REPORT! Oh, how I want to be as skilled an actor as Olaf!
Discuss Olaf tied me with this ROPE to teach me how to act 'restrained'.
I'm itching to see if it works.
Tease If I used my hooks to cut myself free of this ROPE then I
wouldn't learn anything, would I?
There doesn't seem to be much else you can do with him at the moment, so we'll
move on.
Off to the right, slightly above the ledge the man is on, you should see a
page from a book floating in mid-air. Jump up and to the right to reach this.
Once you've collected it, you can turn to the "Library Screen" (START and "R"
twice) to see it listed.

Talk First you'll have to add WATER to those bricks, then USE them to
patch up the window.
Discuss I am your parent now, you must do as I say. And I saw FIX THAT
WINDOW!
Tease You'd best hold your tongue, lest you wake up without it.
To the right, you'll find the door back to the Downstairs Hall (which you
can't use yet) and the Broken Window:
OBJECT Broken Window
------ -------------
Examine {V} Olaf threw a rock out this window and broke it.
Tinker {V} We'll need some BRICKS and some WATER to fix this.
There's one of this room's six Butterflies above the window, but there doesn't
seem to be any way of reaching it. However, the crate right in the corner
(bite it as Sunny) contains a Broken Heart and a Butterfly.
Heading to the left you pass Olaf and find a pile of BRICKS:
OBJECT Pile of Bricks
------ --------------
Examine {V} A pile of bricks and cement.
Push/Pull {V} If we found the right PARTS I could build a WATER PUMP for
you Klaus. Then we could spray these bricks, and FIX that
WINDOW. Let's look around.
Take {V} We need WATER. Let's look around for COMPONENTS to my
INVENTION!
Further to the left, you'll find a small, Sunny-sized passage leading to Cold
Storage and to the right, a whole collections of Photographs. Further to the
right, and up, you'll see a jar on a shelf. As you land on the shelf it sits
on:
Klaus
So we've found something you might be able to use.
What do you have in mind, Violet?
Violet
Given what we're likely to find around the house, I've
come up with a simple design for a WATER PUMP. If we
could find a BELLOWS, a GASKET, a JAM JAR and a SHOWER
HEAD, we'd be in business.
INVENTION Water Pump
--------- ----------
Components Bellows
Gasket
Jam Jar
Shower Head
COMPONENT Empty Plastic Tub of Jelly {+1%}
--------- ---------------------------------
Take {K} A COMPONENT for my water pump.
Just above the Tub (which serves as the Jam Jar), you'll see two more
Butterflies (you can jump on to the chandeliers to reach these). Carrying on
up, but to the left, you'll find the Kitchen Window (Painted Shut):
OBJECT Kitchen Window (Painted Shut)
------ -----------------------------
Examine Somehow this window escaped Olaf's rockful wrath. A LARGE DEAD
TREE can be seen in the courtyard outside.
Open {K} Hmph... It's painted shut. I bet we could use a PAINT
SCRAPER to open it.
Tinker {V} There are enough broken windows in here. We don't need any
more.
Return down towards the right; if you stand on the cupboard just above Olaf,
you'll see a fourth Butterfly going around in a circle. Time your jump to
collect it. Now head over to the Cold Storage entrance and switch to Sunny to
enter.

There are a number of Apple Cores just inside, which is good, since there's
another Stage Hand around. It's probably best to switch back to Violet.
On the left, you'll see a Lever: throwing an Apple Core at this will drop down
a flap that you can stand on to climb higher. You'll see several more on the
way up. Part way up, on the left, there's a Butterfly fluttering around near
a pair of fans.
When you get near the top on the left, you might think you can't get any
further: although not obvious, the vertical blue "thing" is really a ladder,
which Violet can climb.
|NOTE The drop-down flap to the right of the second ladder (that
| emerges from the top of some boxes) releases some Bats, so be
| alert!
There's another Butterfly to the left of the flap with the Bats; grab it then
jump from the flap to another ladder.
|TIP When jumping to a ladder, you need to have UP (or DOWN) pressed
| as you pass, otherwise you won't grab hold of it.
Continue climbing and jumping to more ladders to reach the top-left corner of
the room. The drop-down flap here also contains some Bats, so be careful!
Jump from the flap over the obstacle on the right and you'll find a Gasket
that will help Violet make the Water Pump.
COMPONENT Gasket {+1%}
--------- -------------
To the right of the Gasket is an inaccessible area containing another switch.
Have Violet stand up against the right-hand wall and throw an Apple Core over
(you'll need to keep UP pressed as you do this).
The trap-door on the right will open, and the area's third Butterfly will be
released. When you've caught it, head back down to the floor (pausing below
the trap-door to collect some Photographs) and return to the Kitchen.

If you return to the Kitchen having picked up the Gasket, then as you approach
Olaf, he starts talking:
Olaf
You crawl well. Get used to doing it. Now, I have an
important engagement -- an INVITATION-ONLY ACTING
WORKSHOP. Naturally, I'll be the centre of attention.
I really must dash; my eager public awaits. This
window had better be fixed good and proper when I
return.
At which point he walks off, dropping the Actor's Workshop Invitation by the
door. As you pick it up:
Klaus
Who'd want to INVITE Olaf anywhere?
OBJECT Actor's Workshop Invitation
------ ---------------------------
Examine An invitation to a private acting workshop. Olaf dropped this
in his rush to leave.
There's nothing new in the Kitchen, so make use of the fact that Olaf left the
door open and head back to the Downstairs Hall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Downstairs Hall
...............................................................................
Trying to leave via Doldrum Drive now gives:
Violet
As much as I'd like to leave this house, I wouldn't
want to see Olaf when he's angry.
Now that you've met Olaf in the Kitchen, you can go and explore the Actor's
Wing.

Book Pages:
Klaus
Look at this, Violet... A stray BOOK PAGE. I wonder
what it says...
Olaf [written]
Dearest Troupe, I have hidden away the BELLOWS in the
closet atop the Actor's Wing. Use the following
combination to retrieve it.
Klaus
Look, there's a CODE written on the pages! If we can
find all of them, we'll be able to OPEN that door.

...............................................................................
|NOTE Once you've found the first page, you cannot return to the
| Downstairs Hall until you've found them all and opened the door.
Carrying along at this level, to the left, you can see three more Butterflies
and another Book Page. However, some will be out of reach. At the far left
end, you will find a Platform near an Apple Core Switch (ignore the hole in
the floor and the group of three other switches for now). Hitting the Switch
with an Apple Core will set the platform in motion, allowing you to get the
Butterflies (that's all of them for this room) and the Book Page.

In the centre of the room you will find the White-Faced Woman:
PERSON White-Faced Woman
------ -----------------
Talk All these questions could ruin your complexion.
Discuss Fascinating. You're just like an adult only smaller and more
useless.
Tease Am I a bad actress because I wasn't INVITED to ACTING CLASS?
Surely my INVITATION was lost in the mail.
If you climb and head left, you'll find a bath tub with a Shower Head... just
what we want to complete the Water Pump. Unfortunately:
COMPONENT Shower Head
--------- -----------
Examine {K} A SHOWER HEAD. Not something Count Olaf would have much
use for.
Tinker {LS} 'If I can't have it no one can' is a selfish attitude, and
demonstrates poor upbringing.
Take {WFW} Hands off! That's a beauty tool, not a toy.
It doesn't look like we can get the Shower Head while the woman's here. But
she seems to want an invitation, and we have the one that Olaf dropped... so:
PERSON White-Faced Woman
------ -----------------
Give {Invitation} An INVITATION! I knew I was good enough to get
invited. I'd better run if I'm going to make it. {+1%}
She leaves, allowing you free to pick up the Shower Head:
COMPONENT Shower Head {+1%}
--------- ------------------
And you are taken to the Inventions Screen to complete it:
INVENTION Water Pump
--------- ----------
Use When charged with water, Klaus can fire his Water Pump to
attack enemies by pressing "B" -- either tap the button for a
single shot, or hold it down for a sustained burst. Like
Violet, he can fire it from standing for taller enemies, or
crouch and fire (hold DOWN) for enemies on the ground.
All around the game you will see WATER PIPES sticking out from
the wall, pouring water; Klaus can stand under these to refill
his Water Pump. Initially, it has a capacity of 30 units of
water, but -- as with Violet's Apple-Chucker -- this can be
upgraded in the future.
Drop down to the left of the room to find a Wardrobe:
OBJECT Wardrobe
------ --------
Examine {LS} In another story wonderful things might be found on the
other side of this wardrobe. This, however, is no such story.
Tinker {K} Before going to extremes why don't we just try OPENING it.
It seems to be unlocked.
Open Butterflies escape. {+1%}
There are three Butterflies inside the Wardrobe, but you may find you catch
one as the doors open, so you don't notice it (other than the count going up).
There's a fourth Butterfly above the mirror to the right of the bath, and the
last is on the far right-hand side of the room.
|NOTE The Quest Point for opening the Wardrobe is one of two optional
| Quest Points in the game. You can complete the game without
| getting this Quest Point. See the notes in section "Quest
| Points" {QPTS} for more details.
Before you leave the Dressing Room, head to the far bottom-left corner (just
past the Wardrobe). As Sunny, you can bite your way through the dividing wall
and drop down to the area below the Dressing Room where you can find the first
Page of a new Book:

[B1DC] Quest --
Book Pages --
...............................................................................
Use the Moving Platform to jump up and to the left. Watching out for a squad
of Formation Bats, drop through a hole in the floor to find the first of
eleven Butterflies.
Back on the "main floor" of the crawlspace, head left (above where the
Butterfly was). There are three moving platforms that will take you to the
top of a long vertical shaft (watch out for three Bats along the way).
There's a second Butterfly in the middle at the top -- you'll probably have to
jump for it, drop down and make your way up again.
Back at the top, exit to the right into another passage with more Spiders.
Past these is a long, long drop through several screens that will eventually
drop you back in the Dressing Room. As you fall, watch out for Apple Cores
and, especially, Butterflies.
You won't get them all on the first go (or the second or third, probably), but
you can keep on trying as often as you like.
|NOTE Two of the eleven Butterflies in this area CANNOT be caught
| until after you've completed the main game and return here with
| extra abilities. There's a third Butterfly that I never managed
| to catch on my first visit -- despite many attempts -- that I
| believe COULD be caught at this stage.
If anybody DOES manage to get nine out of the eleven BEFORE
completing the game, I'd be grateful if you could let me know so
that I can update this Walkthrough (my aim in this main part of
the Walkthrough is to describe catching all Butterflies that CAN
be caught; I THINK this is the only doubtful one).
When you're bored trying, head back to the Actor's Wing as there's more to
explore.

From the Dressing Room, head back to the right and drop halfway down to where
there's a switch in front of a pair of gates. Hit the switch with an Apple
Core and the gates will open, allowing you to access a report card:
OBJECT Olaf's Report Card
------ ------------------
Examine All of the boxes are marked 'A+'. Written in Olaf's own
handwriting it reads, 'Barrymore and Olivier have nothing on
you, you handsome brilliant man.'
You can't seem to do anything with it, so move on to the left. Drop down the
gap and you'll see a Lever on the floor. Stand over it and press "R" to pull
the Lever and start a moving platform, which will allow you back up to the
previous ledge. To the left and right you will find two more report cards,
hung on the wall:
OBJECT White-Faced Women's Report Card
------ -------------------------------
Examine An Actor's Report Card for the White-Faced Women. "Acting not
very colourful. Suggest private tutoring." -- Olaf.
OBJECT Report Card
------ -----------
Examine Another Report Card from Olaf's Troupe. Strange... there's no
name, and under 'Gender', they've written 'Indeterminate'.
Carry along the floor to the left where activating a second Lever will start
another Moving Platform. This will allow you to get to another report card:
OBJECT Bald Headed Man's Report Card
------ -----------------------------
Examine He has Fs in all categories but 'Acting Like a Tree', in which
he was awarded C-
To the right are another pair of gates; the Switch to open them being between
the two. Have Violet stand just to the left of the first gate and throw an
Apple Core up and over to hit the Switch. This leads you to yet another
report card. However, unlike the others, this one can be taken:
Klaus
Now all we have to do is get OLAF to MARK it.
OBJECT Hook Handed Man's Report Card {+1%}
------ ------------------------------------
Examine It is the Acting Report Card for the Hook Handed Man. Looks
like he's got top marks in 'Villainry'.
Olaf's not around, but now we've made the Water Pump, we can at least use it
on the Pile of Bricks and mend the window, so head back to the Kitchen through
the Downstairs Hall.

At which point you are taken back to the beginning of the Rooftop area, where
you should follow Violet's advice and head right, back through the Courtyard,
the Orphan's Room and the Upstairs Hall to the Downstairs Hall where you
should enter the Chimney (as Sunny, of course).

Chimney Butterflies --
[B1CH] Quest --
Book Pages +3
...............................................................................
Now that you've attached the Rope to the Pulley System on the Rooftop, there's
a vertical Moving Platform that ascends to the top of the Chimney. Dotted
around the Chimney are a number of SOOT PATCHES (thirteen in all) -- the first
is at ground level on the left. To get rid of these, you need to switch to
Klaus and use his Water Pump. A good solid squirt, or several smaller ones,
will get rid of the soot.
|TIP As well as the main shaft, there are a number of side-openings
| with more Soot Patches and Book Pages inside. I think it's best
| to make your way up the main shaft first, pausing often to take
| out Spiders and Bats (both can be done with a good squirt of the
| Pump), and then deal with the side-openings.
There are several Water Pipes as you rise, so Klaus can keep his
water level topped up.
On the way up, you will be able to collect a Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Chimbley Sweep" by Colin December - 2 -[4]5 - :
...............................................................................
At the very top (when the Platform disappears to the left) you will need to
jump to an opening on the right. You should by now have five Soot Patches
left to find -- don't worry if you've missed some, as you'll be able to get
these in a moment as we check for side-passages.
In the right-hand opening, you'll find another Soot Patch. Work your way
through the passage and you'll come out above the shaft, to the Trigger Point
for "Chimbley Sweep". We won't get all the pages until much later, so ignore
it for now. Just up and to the left is another vent that leads back to the
Upstairs Hall.
|TIP It could be worthwhile popping through and back again and
| saving. You will then restart the game (either if you die or
| quit) from here, rather than the bottom of the shaft. If you
| need it, you can also spend some time in the Hall looking for
| Heart Lockets to reduce your Misery Meter.
Now, return to the main shaft and head down the right-hand side of the shaft;
Sunny is good for this, as some of the openings are small. Just keep dropping
off platforms and hugging the right-hand side. The first entrance "wraps-
back" and comes out back onto the main shaft; it contains two Soot Patches and
the third page of the book. The next opening down (once you rejoin the main
shaft) contains the final two Soot Patches and page six of the book.

As you clean off the last patch of Soot:
Klaus
That's the LAST of them. Maybe Olaf will go a little
easier on us now that we've done some chores.
Sunny
Ronich! (Fat chance of that, Klaus, but let's GO SEE
OLAF anyway).
Once you've cleaned the Chimney, return (via the bottom entrance) to the
Downstairs Hall.

As you approach Olaf, you encounter another example of his "charm":
Olaf
Well, the Chimney is clean enough, but your pet monkey
is rather sooty.
Klaus
Sunny isn't a monkey!
Sunny
Dubdud! (I haven't even had a banana in days!)
Olaf
That would be arguable if I allowed you to argue with
me. But I don't, so why don't you fetch some WOOD for
the fireplace. There should be an old TREE in the
COURTYARD.
Klaus
But the fireplace is boarded up!!!
Olaf
Then I'll use the WOOD to re-board it. Just fetch me
SEVEN branches. Shoo.
PERSON Olaf
------ ----
Talk I need SEVEN BRANCHES from the tree in the COURTYARD. You'll
have to use a WINDOW to get out there. I returned the door to
the manufacturer, because I didn't like the colour.
Discuss Is SEVEN too many? Well, then you have at least three too many
toes. Perhaps I can do something about those.
Head to the Courtyard; this time -- for the sake of a change (and to get
another Quest point) -- use the window in the Kitchen.

Courtyard Butterflies +5
[B1CY] Quest +6%
Book Pages --
...............................................................................
In the Courtyard, you need to collect seven Branches; there are also six
Butterflies left over from our earlier brief visit. Because these ones tend
to fly away as you approach, we'll need to follow a slightly circuitous route
to catch them!
|TIP Don't worry if you miss some of the Butterflies -- if you leave
| and re-enter the Courtyard (either through the Kitchen Window,
| or to and from the Rooftop), the Butterflies will "reset"
| themselves to their starting positions and you can try again.
You may prefer to ignore the Butterflies until after you've
found all the seven Branches.
Starting as Violet, drop from the Window and head right past a ladder until
you reach a tree with some ledges. Climb to the third ledge (it's a sloping
one) and jump up to a platform on the right, then back left to another sloping
ledge above. Jump up and left to the white patch on the tree.
|TIP When climbing the trees here in the Courtyard, the WHITE BOUGHS
| or bits of tree -- like the one you're standing on -- can be
| walked on and jumped to. The darker grey bits will not support
| you.
Jump to another white bit of tree to the left (with a Spider on it) then walk
off the left-hand side. You should drop on to the Bough below near the top of
a ladder.
Start to descend the ladder, then immediately climb back up again. Some
Butterflies will begin to disperse, but you should be able to jump and catch
the two nearest ones. Follow the third along the white Bough to the left (it
will probably be just below the Bough). Part way along you'll approach a
Branch and Violet will speak up:
Violet
SUNNY'S TEETH could bite through that BRANCH in no
time.
Ignore this for now, and you should be able to catch the third Butterfly at
the end of the Bough (jump to the left if necessary). A fourth Butterfly from
the group will almost certainly have got away.
Never mind; return to the Kitchen window (further to the left) and pop in and
out through it so the Butterfly returns to its starting position. Now head
right again, but jump up the couple of ledges near the end of the house.
From the ledge with the Water Pipe above it, jump right to a swing with a
cluster of Apple Cores -- this should once again disturb the remaining
Butterfly from the tree stump. It should be straightforward to jump and catch
it as it flies roughly towards you.
Now we've got a few under our wing (pun intended), we'll concentrate on the
Branches we need to collect. Head right back to the far tree and climb as
before. This time, carry on up higher, and you should see a Branch on a white
bit of tree next to the adjacent house. If you haven't done so already,
switch to Sunny and bite through the Branch (press "L"). Press "R" to pick it
up -- the counter in the bottom-left corner should change to "6".
OBJECT Chopped Wood (x7) {+6%} **
------ ---------------------------
Examine A piece of wood. One can make out four tiny teeth marks if
looking close enough.
|** NOTE You get one Quest Point {+1%} for every piece of Chopped Wood
| you pick up EXCEPT the first!
Carry on up the tree; collect another Branch in a similar position just above.
Jump up and left to a Bough that rises and falls steeply as you move left. At
its end is your third Branch.
Return right towards the main trunk; walk off to the right and you should land
where the second Branch was. Walk off the left edge and you should land where
you can jump to a Photograph and hence to the fourth Branch.
Jump back right and up to the Bough above, where you'll find the fifth Branch.
Carry on to the left; at the end of the Bough, drop off, falling slightly to
the right to land on the Bough below. Drop off the left and you should land
next to the sixth Branch and near the fifth Butterfly of this session (the
sixth in total for the Courtyard). Catch the Butterfly and gather the Branch.
Head back to the right and drop down to the top of the ladder again. Head
left and collect the last Branch (the one passed when chasing Butterflies).
Violet
Let's take this last BRANCH and get back to OLAF in
the DOWNSTAIRS HALL.
Return through the Kitchen to give the Chopped Wood to Olaf.

Olaf
What a poor excuse for FIREWOOD! I wouldn't put these
trifling TWIGS in my chimney after I worked so hard to
CLEAN it.
Klaus
We CLEANED the chimney! And it wasn't easy, either!
Olaf
What's this?! My PAINT SCRAPER... it's a family
heirloom! How DARE you use my tools! And for the
wrong purpose to boot!
Klaus
But there was no other way we could open the windows!
Olaf
Excuses are like monkeys: hairy, ill mannered, and
often sooty! I AM TAKING BACK MY PAINT SCRAPER.

You can wander around your room, but there's nothing much you can do. When

Olaf
Wh-What?! What are you Orphans doing lounging about?!
Violet
You told us to go to our room!
Olaf
I did no such thing. You are trying to avoid your
responsibilities. A group of my ACTING STUDENTS are
coming over and we expect to be SERVED a full DINNER.
Klaus
Cook? We don't know how to cook!
Sunny
Gummagumma! (I'm not even on solid food yet!)
Olaf
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over my stomach grumbling.
But I'm pretty sure the monkey agrees with me. Now Go!
Violet
I suppose we could go into town for ingredients. It
would be nice to get out of the house for a bit.
Olaf
My house would be more than happy to get rid of you,
as well. Vamoos!
And you are transported to Doldrum Drive.

Ok; we have to cook a meal, but we don't know what, and we can't cook anyway!
Luckily, help is at hand. Head left and you'll meet a new character:
PERSON Justice Strauss
------ ---------------
Talk He wants you to cook him dinner? I left my COOKBOOK on the
patio. BRING it to me and we'll pick out a recipe. Seems
strange to give such responsibility to children as young as
yourselves.
[pans to show you the COOKBOOK]
Discuss Once we pick out a recipe, I'll give you COUPONS for the GROCER.
There's no point heading up the building behind the Justice because (a) you
can't reach the patio from it and (b) one of the Book Pages that can be found
won't appear until after you've got the Cookbook.
Instead, explore to the left: there's an elevator:
OBJECT Private Elevator
------ ----------------
Examine {LS} A private apartment elevator. To keep it private, the
residents have made it KEY ACTIVATED.
Push/Pull {K} Looks like it needs a KEY.
and a tomato-spattered man:
PERSON Tomato Stained Man
------ ------------------
Talk The next thing I knew BLAMMO! I was pummelled by TOMATOES.
It's been one unfortunate event after another.
Discuss Who cares if the TOMATO in my hands is STILL WHOLE! My SUIT is
RUINED!
Tease How will I ever make that interview at Mulctuary Money
Management now? Mum was right, I should have been a kitch
children's book author.
Both of these will be dealt with later.
For now, jump up a series of windowsills just past the man: there's the first
of this area's fourteen Butterflies at the top. Head right across more
windowsills; just before the Private Elevator there's the first page of a new
book:
...............................................................................
: Book "Street Detective" by Paul P. Wickson - -[3]- - - :
...............................................................................
Just above this is a second Butterfly. Jump up and right, then climb the
ladder on top of the Private Elevator shaft. Head all the way along to the
left of the ledge you're on and you should see two Butterflies and another
Book Page (one of the Butterflies is right at the top of the screen; you'll
need to jump to catch it).
...............................................................................
: Book "Street Detective" by Paul P. Wickson - - 3[4]- - :
...............................................................................
|NOTE I'm almost certain that you can get these two Butterflies and
| the Book Page a little later, which would cut-out the need to re-
| climb the building. However, as it doesn't waste much time,
| I'll leave them here for now.
You'll land back on the ground; make your way back up to the top of the ladder
and jump to the second ledge above (next to an advertising hoarding). Wait a
moment, and you should see the fifth Butterfly circling -- try to jump so that
you catch it and land back on the ledge. Finally, from the edge jump up and
to the right (passing through some Apple Cores) to land on the Patio where you
can pick up the Cookbook:
OBJECT Cookbook {+1%}
------ ---------------
Examine 'Many Ways to Prepare Tasty Treats', by A. Steiman. A cookbook.
From the patio, jump up on to the roof of the house and head to the right.
The sixth Butterfly is at the top, then there's another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Street Detective" by Paul P. Wickson [1]- 3 4 - - :
...............................................................................
Drop down on the right and there are two more Butterflies to catch. Return
over the roof to the patio. Below, there are three Butterflies in the gap
between the two buildings; but one is reachable from Justice Strauss's house,
so we'll ignore it for now.
For the first, look to the left: you should see a thin black line running down
the centre of the side of the building. Try to jump so that you fall on, or
just to the right of, the line and you should catch the ninth Butterfly on the
way down.
The tenth is slightly back from the edge of the patio. You MIGHT be able to
get both in one drop, but it's probably easiest just to climb back to the
patio again: just move a little to the right after you drop from the edge and
you should catch it.
Back at ground level, head left give the Cookbook to Justice Strauss: {+1%}
Justice Strauss
Splendid, now let's see... I used to be quite the
amateur chef. How about a Hollandaise Sauce?
Violet
Um... We don't really know that much about cooking.
That sounds complicated.
Justice Strauss
How about roast beef? Actors love a good roast beef...
Klaus
That might take too long, we need to have the whole
dinner ready in a half-hour.
Justice Strauss
Well, good food can't be rushed.
Violet
Hey, how about this? Pasta Puttanesca. It only takes
a few ingredients, and it says it goes from pot to
plate in 15 minutes!
Sunny
Yumagu! (Sounds delicious, better than he deserves.)
Justice Strauss
Olives, Capers, Pasta, Garlic, Tomatoes. Here are
COUPONS for all of the ingredients you'll need.
Lying on the ground you'll now find some Food Coupons:
OBJECT Food Coupons {+1%}
------ -------------------
Examine A stack of coupons for groceries ranging from capers to
spaghetti.
PERSON Justice Strauss
------ ---------------
Talk Those COUPONS should be all you need. Give them to the GROCER.
Discuss It's not that windy out. Just zipper your coats.
Before we go and use the coupons, there are a couple of Book Pages and a
Butterfly to be collected from Justice Strauss's house. Start from the left-
hand window and cross to the right-hand one, then head up and right to the
long ledge that runs the width of the house. Between the two pairs of windows
above are two Book Pages:
...............................................................................
: Book "Kid on a Hot Thin Roof" by Kansas Bills 1 2 3[4]- 6 :
: "Street Detective" by Paul P. Wickson 1[2]3 4 - - :
...............................................................................
Back on the full-width ledge, head to the left-hand edge. The eleventh
Butterfly is roughly in line with the right-hand edge of the arm of the
telegraph pole.
Just before we go to use the Coupons, since we should now have 50 or more
Butterflies, another line of Concept Art, Movie Scenes and Invention Upgrades
is available in The Attic. Unless you've been avoiding Photographs like the
plague, you should have more than enough to upgrade both Violet's and Klaus's
inventions:
UPGRADE Water Pump
------- ----------
Cost 200 (Level 2)
Purpose This Fish Bowl will let Klaus carry 70 water.
UPGRADE Apple-Chucker
------- -------------
Cost 200 (Level 2)
Purpose This Ice Cream Scoop will allow you to chuck apples faster.
When you've bought and applied these upgrades, head left to Doldrum Drive West.
|NOTE If you've not been trying to catch every Butterfly you can, you
| may not have enough to access the second line. This doesn't
| really matter -- although the extra capacity, in particular, is
| very helpful -- just keep an eye on your total Butterfly count
| and buy the upgrades when you can.

As you walk along, you'll come across a Washing Machine on an odd-looking
platform:
OBJECT Washing Machine
------ ---------------
Examine A Diamond Spa brand WASHING MACHINE.
Not strictly necessary, but so you know what's going on, jump up the small
platforms to the left of the Washing Machine and you will see another person:
PERSON Lionel Ricky
------ ------------
Talk Beautiful, innit? I had to wash that SUIT by hand. That takes
a long time when you're missing two fingers like I am.
Discuss Lost 'em in a fire.
Tease I ordered a WASHING MACHINE to make my cleaning easier, but it
still hasn't arrived.
Jump up a couple more ledges and on top of a rail from which some clothes hang:
OBJECT Clean Business Suit
------ -------------------
Examine A crisp BUSINESS SUIT hangs on a clothesline. The tag reads
'dry clean only'. It appears both dry and clean.
Tinker {K} I think we should find a way to HELP the man instead. He
doesn't seem to want to part with that SUIT.
Take {LR} People like you are driving this neighbourhood to the
gutter. Please leave my washables alone.
Drop back down and look to the right: the platform that the Washing Machine is
on appears to be part of a "lift" system made of gears and chains. If you
could land on the upper platform (to the right), that would probably raise the
Washing Machine so Lionel Ricky can collect it. However, try as we might, we
cannot jump to it from here. We'll have to pass on until an opportunity
presents itself.
Drop back to ground level and continue to the left and you'll soon come to a
grocer's stall. Before speaking to the grocer, there's the first Butterfly of
this area just above the stall. It's only just within reach, so it might take
a couple of attempts to catch it.
PERSON Vegetable Vendor
------ ----------------
Talk May I suggest the roast beef? It's quite delicious.
Discuss I've got OLIVES, CAPERS, ANCHOVIES and PASTA, but I'm fresh out
of TOMATOES.
Tease Don't make me put you on my irate customers list.
Quite what a Vegetable Vendor is doing selling, or even suggesting roast beef
is a bit of a mystery! Anyway, give him the Food Coupons: {+1%}
Violet
We're making pasta with puttanesca sauce. Here's a
list of ingredients... and we have COUPONS.
Vegetable Vendor
This is a popular recipe so I have the ingredients
right here.
...Except for the TOMATOES. I sold all I had to
ANOTHER CUSTOMER. She took the TOMATOES but forgot
all her other GROCERIES. If you would DELIVER this
other BAG for her, she might be willing to part with a
TOMATO in return. She lives in an apartment building
to the right, on the THIRD FLOOR.
COME BACK and see me if this goes well. I'll have
plenty of other DELIVERIES for you to make!
[Abandoned Groceries appear]
Come to think of it, you might need this KEY to get up
the ELEVATOR.

Lily Lomata
Oh, you've brought my GROCERIES. Sorry for my
rudeness earlier. I'd give you a TOMATO but the wind
has PILFERED them all from me. 'PILFERED' meaning
'knocked off the ledge when my back was turned'.
Klaus
We know what 'Pilfered' means. It means Stolen.
Lily Lomata
Yes, that too. But if you're looking for TOMATOES, I
have none left. Try my NEIGHBOUR to the WEST.
At which point a "drawbridge" lowers to the left from which you will be able
to jump to the upper platform of the "lift" that the Washing Machine is

Talk That LEDGE out there? You can get there from the roof.
Discuss I'd give you a TOMATO but the wind has PILFERED them all from

If you now jump up the small ledges to the right of Lionel, you should see
that one of them -- the one that led to the clothesline -- is now moving.
Jump on to it, and when it gets to the top of its travel, jump off to the
right where you should find another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Street Detective" by Paul P. Wickson 1 2 3 4[5]- :
...............................................................................
If you jump left from the ledge below where the page was, you should make it
back to Lionel; if not, climb back up. Get back onto the moving platform, and
this time, jump to the left on to another smaller platform, where you will
find the Trigger Point for a book:
BOOK USE "Kid on a Hot Thin Roof"
-------- ------------------------
Book Text Can you find where to enter the code on DOLDRUM DRIVE WEST for a
surprise?
Code LEFT, "L", "L", DOWN, DOWN
Effect Activates Moving Platform giving Butterflies (x8), Photographs
and Apple Cores.
This will make a larger platform appear beneath your feet, which will shortly
start moving on a long circuitous route through the sky. Along the way are
many Photographs, the eight remaining Butterflies, a few clusters of Apple
Cores and LOTS of Bats!
|TIP Don't be too bothered about collecting Photographs, as there are
| plenty of other places where you can get these (I'm not saying
| you should avoid them, just don't try risky jumps to get any).
|TIP Don't forget that both Violet and Klaus can shoot straight up
| (hold UP as you press "B"); this can be very useful when there
| are lots of Bats around.
You will find that you pass over the first three Butterflies and collect them
automatically; however, for the fourth, fifth and sixth you will have to jump
to reach them. Don't worry if you miss landing on the platform, as you'll
just fall to the ground -- you can go around as often as you like (or have to!)
|TIP It may even be useful to break the circuit, as it will give you
| a chance to refill your Apple Cores and/or Water, and to look
| for Heart Lockets to reduce your Misery Meter (there are LOTS of
| bats/birds trying to hurt you).
If you leave and re-enter the area, the two enemies that wander
around the pavement will return and often give Heart Lockets,
especially if your Misery Meter is high.
The seventh and eighth Butterflies are both on the roof at the end of the
circuit and are easy enough to get -- at the end you should have all nine.
Before we take the Clean Business Suit to the Tomato Stained Man, head to the
left to Doldrum Detour, where we can pick up the last page of "Street
Detective".

...............................................................................
The first thing to do is to give the Clean Business Suit to the Tomato Stained
Man: {+1%}
Tomato Stained Man
A new SUIT! Good work, children. And mother thought
I wasn't up for middle management. I'd better get
going or I'll be LATE for my INTERVIEW.
He leaves behind the Tomato:
OBJECT Tomato {+1%}
------ -------------
Examine Survived the fall by fortuity, meaning, 'luck that it didn't
splat all over the man'.
Once you have the Tomato, head back up the ledges of the building behind you.
From the building-wide ledge, jump up the two ledges on the right-hand side
(where you jumped to Justice Strauss's Patio). This time, jump of the left-
hand side of the upper ledge to reach a ledge in the middle where you'll find
another Trigger Point:
BOOK USE "Street Detective"
-------- ------------------
Book Text This is the tale of a Very Fine Detective. When the CODE is
entered, many photographs will be revealed around DOLDRUM DRIVE.
The Detective who patrols DOLDRUM DRIVE and collects all the
PHOTOS will be REWARDED.
Code "A", "L", "R"
Effect Collect all Photographs to get Butterflies (x2).
To complete the challenge, you have to collect a number of Photographs.
First, jump across to the Patio and walk over the top of the roof and down the
other side to find the first Photograph. There are three more in the windows
of Justice Strauss's house (drop back to the ground and climb up behind her);
the remaining six Photographs are in the windows of the house to the left --
jump up as though you were heading back to the Trigger Point.
When you collect all of the required Photographs, the view will shift to show
two Butterflies appear by the Trigger Point. Climb back up and collect what
should be the last of this area's fourteen Butterflies.
Before returning to the Downstairs Hall, it might be a good idea to make sure
that both Violet and Klaus are fully stocked with Apple Cores and Water
respectively.
Save when you're ready and go and see if the meal will be good enough...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage Book 1
[B1BB] Boss Battle
...............................................................................
You find yourself on the Stage, where the first of two White-Faced Women
challenges you:
White-Faced Woman
Nothing like a little powder to take the glare off
that nasty, healthy complexion!
She will throw Powder Bombs at you from on-high. Make your way across the
stage, dodging the powder and other nasties. At the end of each crossing, use
the door to get up to the next level. When you reach the third level, head
left and take out the first White-Faced Woman. Once gone, her companion will
step into the fray:
White-Faced Woman
Why you! I'll swat you like a fly, and DON'T YOU DARE
AVOID ME!
She will stalk after you and, when you're in range, will throw out her handbag
as though on elastic. This may be at either head level or ground level.
I find that Sunny is the best to deal with the White-Faced Woman, since
Sunny's naturally small enough for the head-high throw to miss (and also, if
you're forced too far into a corner, her Roll Attack is the best for getting
to the other side).
The secret of dealing with the White-Faced Woman, as her challenge suggests,
is to "simply" avoid her attacks! After a couple of goes, you should be able
to predict whether she's going to throw high or low; simply sit-out the high
attacks and jump over the low ones.
After a few misses, she gets into a bit of a hissing-fit and starts stamping
her feet. Use this opportunity to attack with Sunny's Roll Attack -- a few of
these should be the end of her.
|NOTE It might take several attempts to "get the rhythm" of her
| attacks; if you're having problems, just keep on trying -- if
| you fill your Misery Meter you restart from the top level of the
| stage and only have to battle the handbag-throwing lady again.
As far as I can tell, having to restart the battle doesn't seem
to have any harmful effects -- not even a "death counter" as in
Zelda.
Once you've despatched the White-Faced Woman, walk out through the left-hand
stage door where you will be met by Olaf, who seems to have had a change of
heart:
Olaf
Dear, dear darlings, let us not fight anymore. Let me
make amends. How would you like to go out for some
sodas?
[Cut to car parked over a level-crossing]
Olaf
Ah, here we are. You just wait in the car until I
return. By the way, do you have the time?
Klaus
It's 12:13. Why? Um.. is that a TRAIN TIMETABLE?
Violet
Oh, No! The doors to the car are LOCKED and there's a
TRAIN coming! Quick, help me rig this stuff together
and maybe we can DIVERT the TRAIN!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Train Mini-Game
...............................................................................
Olaf leaves you stuck in the car with a train approaching. Your only hope
rests with a Ball-Throwing Clown that Violet has cobbled together.
In front of you are a two train tracks and a number of signals. Every now and
then, one of these will raise one or two arms with a red circle on the end.
You have to aim the circular cursor and throw balls with the "B" button to
break off these arms before the arms descend again.
If you don't break of the arm (or arms) in time, you will lose one "life" (see
the signals in the top-left corner of the screen). If you lose all three
"lives", you will have to start the Mini-Game from the begining.
|TIP Luckily, there are a couple of things to help you. First, if a
| signal raises its arms, a small arrow will appear from the
| aiming-cursor to show you in which direction it lies (left or
| right).
Second, the order in which the signals activate seems to be
fixed. For me, this order is shown in the diagram below:
(6)|__|(4)\__\(5) (8)
(2) |__| \__\
(1) |__| (9) \__\(7) (3)
I don't know whether the signals are ALWAYS in this order for
every game -- different games might have a different order of
raising the signals -- but the order always seems to stay the
same once you've started playing (in other words, you can LEARN
what your order is and anticipate where the signals are going to
be raised).
If TWO arms are raised, you need to hit BOTH of them for it to
count.
Once you have survived, as well as unlocking the Mini-Game from the "Eye" on
the main menu, you will be rescued by Mr. Poe:
Mr. Poe
I'm sorry, Count Olaf. Allowing a child Sunny's age
to drive a car is simply not good parenting.
Klaus
He's an evil, evil man! He tried to leave us trapped
on the tracks!
Mr. Poe
Let's not exaggerate, Klaus. The car wasn't even in
gear.
Olaf [running off]
No matter where you go, no matter what you do, I'll
find you. This isn't over!

()===========================================================================()
Mr. Poe
Children, this is the home of your new guardian,
Montgomery Montgomery.
Violet
He's bound to be better than Count Olaf.
Sunny
Wagto. (I'll be fine as long as he doesn't call me a
monkey.)
Uncle Monty
I have good news. In a few days we are leaving for a
nature expedition to Peru.
Mr. Poe
Jolly good! Well, it seems as though you are in
capable hands. I'm needed at the bank. And please
let's not have any more talk of Count Olaf.
Uncle Monty
We have much to do to PREPARE for our trip to Peru.
[pans to Butterfly overhead]
Klaus, Mr. Poe tells me you appreciate BUTTERFLIES.
Well, there is a lovely butterfly on that LANDING up
there, but it is TOO HIGH for me to reach!
[pans back]
And Sunny, Mr. Poe also tells me that you like to BITE
things, is that so?
Sunny
Chom palla gu. (Biting things gives my life meaning
and purpose.)
[pans to metal crate]
Uncle Monty
Could you BITE INTO THAT CRATE and PUSH it under the
LEDGE so that Klaus can reach the butterfly?
[fade]

...............................................................................
Once you have control, go and have a chat with Uncle Monty:
PERSON Uncle Monty
------ -----------
Talk Just walk up to the crate and PRESS and HOLD the BITE BUTTON.
You'll be able to SLIDE it wherever you want!
Discuss I like inquisitive minds almost as much as I hate answering
questions.
Tease If you are interested in BUTTERFLIES could you pick THAT ONE up
for me?
If you try and leave this central area, without sliding the Metal Crate:
Uncle Monty
Come, come, surely BITING that crate and PUSHING it in
place is not too much to ask for your new uncle?
As Sunny, jump to the left hand side of the Metal Crate and hold down the Left
Shoulder Button as though you were going to chomp it. Being metal, you don't
destroy it -- instead, you can use LEFT and RIGHT to move it where you want.
|TIP Sunny can both PUSH and PULL these Metal Crates (and some other
| items). If you cannot get to the far side of a Crate, you can
| pull it from the near side.
In this case, move the Crate under the central ledge with Butterfly then use
it to catch the Butterfly. As you do, Uncle Monty continues:
Uncle Monty
Splendid. You seem good at INVENTING THINGS. Klaus
needs an extension to his water-pump that would let it
ABSORB things.
[cut to lizard on a shelf]
See that lizard over there? That's an INKGUANA. The
INK they SPIT can stain a shirt for generations.
Violet
If we can find some PLASTIC TUBING for intake, I could
upgrade Klaus's WATER-PUMP to be able to ABSORB the
ink.
Uncle Monty
Feel free to take the PLASTIC TUBING from my fishtank,
if you first find SOMEWHERE ELSE to put my fish.
Having another chat with Uncle Monty gives:
PERSON Uncle Monty
------ -----------
Talk Usually my assistant GUSTAV would let you into HIS ROOM to get
supplies. For some reason he is LATE.
Discuss Gustav usually CALLS ME on the PHONE when he is late. The
inkguanas sometimes hit the phone switch and turn it off. Could
you make sure that the PHONE is WORKING?
[pan to PHONE SWITCH and back]
Tease Take the TUBE on the fishbowl to upgrade your WATER PUMP. Just
put my fish, Durward, somewhere safe first.
There's a door to the Reptile Room under where you caught the Butterfly, but
it's locked at the moment by an INK SWITCH -- the curious thing to the right
of the door with a number on its base and a purple snake's head sticking out.
We'll learn about these later.
We may as well head off and see if we can find something to put the fish in
and to check on the 'phone switch. First, head left and have a closer look at
Uncle Monty's fish:
OBJECT Goldfish Bowl Tubing System
------ ---------------------------
Examine {V} The FISH is being given purified water through a complex
system of TUBING.
Push/Pull {V} A push in either direction could be disastrous, at least
for the fish. Let's not.
Tinker {S} Feebdes! (But there's a poor defenseless fish in there!
Perhaps we can find bring him another place to live).
Take {UM} Hold on now children, don't take the TUBING without putting
the fish SOMEWHERE ELSE.
Let's go exploring the downstairs halls. This is probably best done as Klaus,
since (a) his Water-Pump is probably the most useful, and (b) although there's
no water here, there will be in the next room. To the left of the Goldfish
Bowl is the Trigger Point for the as yet unseen book "Reptile Hopscotch".
|NOTE The "squiggles" on the wall around the Hall (lamp brackets of
| some kind?) can be stood on (though they are harder to jump
| between, being narrower).
Carrying on to the left, in the middle of the second semi-circular window is
the Hall's second Butterfly.
Just past the third such window is another Ink Switch that prevents us getting
through the locked door to the Front Garden. This pretty much brings you to
the end of the Hall.
Above the locked door to the Garden you will find a third Butterfly, above
which are some ledges and brackets. It's easy to get to these from a little
further right, but there's a long ledge above them that is still just out of
reach (you will be able to get here later when you've found more Book Pages).
If you return back towards the right, the steps just behind the Goldfish Bowl
allow easy access to the first Book Page of a new book:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Basic Nine" by Danny Handy [1]- - - - - :
...............................................................................
At the top of the steps you will find your Uncle's telephone:
OBJECT Antique Telephone
------ -----------------
Examine {LS} An antique phone sits quietly on the nightstand.
Push/Pull {V} Hmm... There's no dial tone.
Carry on down the other side of the steps and on to the right-hand half of the
hall. Keeping to the floor, there's nothing much (apart from a few nasties)
until you get to the end of the hall, where there's another Ink Switch, which
we'll just have to ignore for the moment.
|NOTE There's a ledge above the switch with another Book Page on it --
| you won't be able to get this until you learn how to operate Ink
| Switches a little later in the game.
Return left and go up the first steps you come to. Above a door to the Guest
Room you will see the fourth Butterfly.
To the left of the Guest Room Door is a Large Snake. If you get too close, it
will swallow you up and your Misery Meter will start to rise. Press "A"
rapidly to get yourself spat out. It isn't affected by any of your current
attacks, so you'll just have to give it a wide berth for now.
Up and to the right of the door is another set of steps that lead to the
upstairs part of the hall. Before we head upstairs, though, let's check out
the Guest Room.

Guest Room Butterflies +2
[B2GR] Quest +1%
Book Pages +2
...............................................................................
Once inside, you'll find the door locks behind you. You're stood on a raised
platform; the drops to either side are too high to jump back from unassisted,
but luckily on either side is a Metal Crate (or a DRUM that serves the same
purpose) -- Sunny can bite into these and drag them closer to the raised area
so that you can jump up and return to the door.
If Klaus needs some water to refill his pump, head right: you'll need to get
Sunny to first move the drum so you can reach the Water Pipe; then move it
back to get back to the door.
Above the door is a ledge with the bottom of a ladder rising from it. As
Violet, you can just jump to this and climb up. If you get "stuck" clinging
to the bottom of the ladder, JUMP should free you. From the top, jump to the
ledges on the right to collect another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Up the Down Way" by Upton Dawn [1]- 3 - - - :
...............................................................................
Drop off the right of the ledge with the Book Page then head back left to the
door, collecting some Apple Cores.
|NOTE You can jump left from the top of the ladder, but it's probably
| easier (and safer) by coming from below.
Drop to the left of the door and use Sunny to push the Metal Crate over
towards the left-hand side of the room. As before, Klaus is probably best for
the next bit, since you can always refil his water to the right of the door.
Use the crate to jump to the top of a bookcase, then carry on up the left-hand
side of the room until you get to a ledge with a ladder rising from it (you'll
need to switch to Violet to climb this).
At the top, there's a grey platform to the right... this is the first of a
number of SINKING PLATFORMS that are linked by the weight on them. As you
land on the first, it will start to sink and cause the next one to the right
to rise. By jumping correctly, you can use these to reach otherwise
inaccessible parts of the room.
There are four of these platforms stretching to the right, with the first two
Butterflies for the room below the second and fourth platforms -- you should
be able to catch these by staying on the platforms until they sink to the
bottom of their travel.
|TIP The secret with these platforms is not to get rushed -- the fact
| that they sink makes you feel you need to jump off as soon as
| possible, and that is going to lead to errors.
If you stay on one platform too long, you won't be able to jump
to the next, but you will ALWAYS be able to jump back to the
preceding one. A few seconds there should allow the first to
rise enough to allow you to jump from it to the third.
Above these four sinking platforms you will see another platform moving
horizontally; jump to this and then to another moving platform that moves
diagonally in and out of range. Jump to this when you can and when it's at
its peak, jump left to a platform with another drum.
To the left are two more Sinking Platforms; jump on the first and let it sink
all the way, then jump left to the second and off again to the top-left corner
of the room where you should get page two of "Up the Down Way":
...............................................................................
: Book "Up the Down Way" by Upton Dawn 1[2]3 - - - :
...............................................................................
Head right and use the platforms to get to the ledge above the drum. This
terminates in one of those walls that Sunny can roll through. As you roll
through, you might see another Butterfly above you -- unfortunately it's out
of reach, so just drop down the shaft. At the bottom is the trigger area for
"Up the Down Way", but as we only have three pages at the moment, carry on
down the next shaft to get to the bathroom area. Here you'll find a sink:
OBJECT Bathroom Faucet
------ ---------------
Examine {LS} The tap water coming from this faucet is cloudy.
Definitely NOT SUITABLE for FISH.
Further to the right you will find a glass that you can pick up:
OBJECT Empty Drinking Glass {+1%)
------ --------------------------
Examine An empty drinking glass. By empty I mean 'not suitable for a
fish to live in'.
And finally, there's a switch to the far right that when hit with an Apple
Core will open both the bathroom door and the main door back to the hall.
|NOTE If you come back to the Guest Room in the future (e.g. to
| recharge Klaus's Water-Pump), the door will remain unlocked.
|FOR LATER The unreachable Butterfly (and another you cannot see) will only
| be accessible once we have all pages of "Up the Down Way", and
| that won't be until we finish the main story.
Return to the Montgomery Halls Downstairs and head up the stairs to the right
of the Guest Room to get to the Montgomery Halls Upstairs.

------ --------
Push/Pull A SPYGLASS. I wonder where it's POINTED.
[pans to show upper part of room]
There doesn't seem to be anything else to do with it, so head right. Just
past a crate you'll see a snake -- unlike most, this one isn't an enemy, so
talk to it:
CREATURE Virginian Wolfsnake
-------- -------------------
Talk Are you aware that I am, perhaps, the most discussed animal in
the universe?
Discuss Please do not disturb me. I am writing.
Tease So you want to GET that LADDER PIECE? Well I want my own
PRINTING PRESS. Now we're both needy.
Well, we DIDN'T know we wanted to get a bit of ladder, but you'll find it just
to the right:
OBJECT Ladder Piece
------ ------------
Examine A short section of ladder leans up against the wall. Monty was
saving this for repairs.
Push/Pull {S} No effect.
Tinker {S} Bolick! (It already looks BROKEN. It's only a piece of a
ladder.)
Take {VW} Please don't make such a racket. I'm trying to write.
So it looks like we'll need to find a Printing Press to pacify the snake
before we can get the ladder. Just past the Ladder you'll see a note:
OBJECT Note from Uncle Monty
------ ---------------------
Examine Bambini, the LADDER in the BACK GARDEN is broken. Do you think
you could fix it?
Take {LS} No, I'm afraid this note stays here. Perhaps I should add
that 'Bambini' here is an Italian word meaning 'Orphans under my
loving care'.
Well, at least we now have a reason for wanting the Ladder! Until we find a
Printing Press, head back left to the crate and bite it to bits as Sunny.
Drop down into the crawlspace below and head right for a second Butterfly
(watching out for a REAL snake).
Head left, past the hole in the floor, and you'll see a vent that leads back
to the Upstairs Hall. Nip through, as this is the only way to reach the
Telephone Switch.

Head right and activate the switch; the telephone rings and Uncle Monty
answers:
Uncle Monty
Hello?
Caller
Hello. Achoo! This is Gustav. Sorry, no able to
come to Peru. Very very sick... cough, cough, COUGH.
But I have found handsome replacement.
Uncle Monty
Gustav, are you all right? You sound... strange.
Head left past the vent; at the very end of the crawlspace will be the hall's
second Butterfly. Return to the vent, back through the Writing Room and into
the main part of the Montgomery Halls Upstairs area. Head left and drop back
into the Downstairs part.

Head across to the left, back to Uncle Monty and the Antique Phone. As you
approach, he'll tell you about the end of the conversation:
Uncle Monty
He hung up.
Violet
Who was that, Uncle Monty?
Uncle Monty
My assistant. He says he's sick, can't make it to
Peru, but that he's sending a... handsome...
replacement?
Anyway, Gustav was always an accurate judge of beauty.
Let's just hope this new bloke is capable. Here is a
KEY to GUSTAV'S ROOM. Just check to make sure
everything's in order for his replacement.
Pick up the key he drops:

Head left past the Writing Room door (above the crawlspace with the switch in
it) and you'll come to a Water Pipe that you can use to recharge Klaus's pump.
While you're doing this, you'll probably see some Powder Bombs dropping... a
White-Faced Woman must be at large!
Head to the left; just past a crate stuck in a gap in the floor you'll see a
small ledge slightly above the floor. If you stand just to the left of the
ledge and shoot straight up (slightly jumping may help), you should be able to
take out the White-Faced Woman without having to clamber all the way up to her.
Now that you've neutralised her, return to the crate and have Sunny bite into
it and drop into the crawlspace below. Head left and you'll emerge into a
larger space where there's the third Butterfly of the area (it's probably best
to switch back to Klaus so he can deal with all the nasties here).
Switch back to Sunny and head right in the lower crawlspace to get the fourth
Butterfly. Return to the open space and use Sunny's Roll Attack to break
through the wall on the left; beyond this is the fifth Butterfly.
Leave the crawlspace and head left; jump up the ledges when you can and return
right to where the White-Faced Woman was to collect the final Butterfly of the
area.
Head left using the ledges and on a ledge against the left-hand wall you will
find the first page of a new book:
...............................................................................
: Book "Reptile Hopscotch" by Julitoad Cort�zar -[2]- - - - :

Drop down to the floor and you should see the door to Gustav's room. Use the
key (press "R") to unlock it and then enter.

| Klaus's Water Pump if you're low.

First, switch to Sunny and head right. There's a crate in the corner of the
room that she can bite through to reveal the first of fourteen Butterflies to
be found in Gustav's Room.
Return, past the door, to the centre of the room. There's a series of
platforms to climb (with assorted nasties on them), and a White-Faced Woman on
a long platform near the top.
|TIP Once again, for the ordinary enemies, using Klaus is probably
| the best. A useful tactic is shooting upwards from the ledge
| below.
The White-Faced Woman is of the handbag-throwing variety, so switch to Sunny
and dodge her attacks; roll through her when she starts stamping her foot. As
she dies, a second Butterfly will be released from near the small ledge where
she was. (There's another Butterfly above this ledge, but you won't be able
to get it until after you've finished the main game.)
Head right on the long ledge and use a small moving platform to get next to a
carving of a serpent's head with a large, red eye. Switch to Violet and throw
an Apple Core at the eye: the eye will shut and a long vine will appear from
the serpent's mouth surrounded by Butterflies (a vine from a similar carving
on the left-hand side of the room also appears).
Drop down to the floor, very slightly to the left of the vine, and you should
collect some of the Butterflies; climb back up to catch the remainder -- there
are six to collect, for eight in total. At the top, jump to the right to
collect a Book Page. Use the moving platform to jump back over the serpent's
head to another page from the same book:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Basic Nine" by Danny Handy 1[2]- -[5]- :
...............................................................................
Switch to Sunny and head back to the right to the ledge between the (closed)
eye and the right-hand wall. Move off the right-hand edge, keeping RIGHT
pressed -- there's an alcove half-way down that contains two more Butterflies.
Collect them, then drop to the main floor and cross to the left-hand side of
the room.
Climb the vine on that side of the room for another three Butterflies. At the
top, jump to the ledge between the second serpent's eye and the left-hand
wall. Throw an Apple Core at this eye and the cage on the left will open,
revealing the source of pure water that Uncle Monty mentioned:

------- ----------
Cost Tubing System
Purpose Allows you to absorb Inkguana Ink (and collect Flies).
As you drop back into the "well" where Uncle Monty is standing:
Lemony Snicket
To get into the REPTILE ROOM you will nee to use
KLAUS'S WATER PUMP. Hold the L BUTTON to ABSORB ink
(and other things, too). Give it a try.
If you talk with Uncle Monty, he will fill you in with more details:
PERSON Uncle Monty
------ -----------
Talk Press the L BUTTON to ABSORB the inkguana's INK.
Discuss Those SNAKE HEADS are special SWITCHES I designed! If you spray
enough INK into their MOUTHS they activate!
Tease Not working? The INK SWITCHES will only activate if you spray
them with the right COLOUR. Make sure you absorb the right
COLOUR.
|NOTE The way the INK SWITCHES work is as follows:
o The colour of the snake's head indicates the colour of the
INK required to activate them.
o The NUMBER in the base indicates the number of UNITS of Ink
that are required. The amount in the Water-Pump will go
down accordingly.
o The colour of the FIN on the back of INKGUANAS is the colour
of the Ink you get from them.
o You don't need to empty the pump before collecting a
different colour. Just absorbing one dose will change all
that's in the pump.
To check you understand how all this works, head to the right-hand corner of
the hall. There you will find an Ink Switch that needs FIVE shots of PURPLE
Ink to activate. You should see a suitable INKGUANA just to the left:
approach it and hold the "L" Shoulder Button down as it spits Ink at you --
you may need to crouch (hold DOWN) to absorb them. So long as your tank in
the top-right corner of the screen shows five or more, turn around and shoot
this at the switch (hold down "B" to shoot, as you would for water).
INK SWITCH Purple x5
---------- ---------
Effect Activates Moving Platform, giving access to Book Page.
If you've got it right, the moving platform to the left of the switch will
activate, allowing you to get another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Up the Down Way" by Upton Dawn 1 2 3 - -[6] :
...............................................................................
|NOTE You can still use your Water Pump to attack enemies as normal --
| it doesn't matter if the pump contains water or any colour Ink.
|TIP When the Water Pump contains water, the tank meter in the top-
| right corner of the screen shows a smooth, rain-drop-like drop
| of water; when it contains Ink, it shows a "splatter" of the
| appropriate colour.
|NOTE Once you have switched to INK from WATER, you cannot use the
| Water Pipes anymore to top up your pump... at least until the
| tank is completely empty. This is a bit of a shame, as filling
| up from the Water Pipes is much easier than absorbing Ink.
|NOTE If you PARTIALLY activate an Ink Switch (e.g. reduce the count
| from 10 to 5) and then leave the area/room, then the count will
| be reset when you return. In other words: never begin to
| activate an Ink Switch unless you are able to do so fully.
Now we know all about Ink Switches, there are two more we can activate: One
at the left-hand end of the hall leading to the Front Garden, and one in the
middle leading to the Reptile Room. We'll chose the latter.

over some junk, you'll come to a large snake's head:
OBJECT Snake Eye Socket
------ ----------------
Examine An ornamental Snake's Head. One of the [eye] sockets is EMPTY.
Tamper Nope, there's nothing I can do here. I wonder why one of the
EYE-SOCKETS is EMPTY?
We'll find out later. Heading right over more junk, you bump into Uncle Monty
again:
Uncle Monty
I'd like you to meet the Incredibly Deadly Viper.
Klaus
I hope he lives in an Incredibly Safe Container.
Uncle Monty
Don't be misled by his name. It's a joke to get back
at all the scientists who've made fun of my name over
the years. He's really quite harmless, and rather
loveable in his slithering, scaly, fork-tongued way.
Sunny
Igga dooga hugga! (Harmless and loveable my eye!
That's the most terrifying thing I've ever seen!)
Uncle Monty
Oh, dear, Sunny seems scared of it. Truly there's no
reason to be. Nothing will hurt you here if you are
sufficiently prepared. Least of all the Incredibly
Deadly Viper.
Violet, you've already shown yourself to be quite the
inventor. Could you HELP FIND some pieces for traps
I'm building?
He doesn't exactly tell you WHAT he wants though; talking to him doesn't throw
an awful lot more light on things:

In the far left of the room is a door to the Inky Newt Nook, but unfortunately
it's locked.
In the middle of the room a ladder leads upwards to a series of platforms that
contain several Ink Switches, one red, one green and one purple. Activate
whichever one matches the Ink in Klaus's Water Pump -- you'll probably need to
return through the Reptile Room to the Montgomery Halls Downstairs to find
Inkguanas of the other two colours.
|NOTE Remember: If you only partially activate an Ink Switch (i.e.
| reduce it from 20 to 5) and then leave the room, it will have
| "forgotten" what you did earlier, and you will have to start
| from the beginning again (e.g. from 20).

There's another Ink Switch (Green x3) in here, so make sure Klaus has enough
shots of the right colour (there should be a Green Inkguana roaming the floor
if not).
Cross the floor to the right, and you will see some rungs sticking out from
the wall. As Violet, jump to and climb these; at the top is the area's first
Butterfly (you'll have to jump to catch it).
Jump to the left, on to a small platform, and then to the top of a lamp on the
wall between two sets of vertical bars. From there, jump across to a platform
with the Ink Switch. Use Klaus to activate this, and a stream of three
Butterflies will appear from the top-left.
INK SWITCH Green x3
---------- --------
Effect Three Butterflies.
Change back to Violet and return to the ladder, jumping to the right from the
top to land on a small platform. From here, jump to the raised floor to the
right (this is too high to jump to from the main floor).
DON'T dawdle under the Water Pipe, since you'll need Klaus's Water Pump to be
empty soon. Just past the pipe is a Metal Crate -- have Sunny push this to
the right, underneath a wooden platform. Change back to Violet and use the
crate to jump to the platform.
Above the platform are four Apple Core Switches. When hit, each one releases
a Butterfly, and when all four have been triggered, a moving platform to the
right will start to move. However, there's a catch -- they must be hit in the
right order, otherwise the switches will reset, a snake will drop to the
platform and you'll have to start again.
|NOTE I don't know if the correct order is random or not, but for me
| the order was: 2nd switch (from the left), 3rd, 1st and 4th.
| If this doesn't work, it shouldn't take too long to work out the
| correct sequence; just watch out for the falling snakes!
|TIP Apart from collecting Butterflies, activating all switches is
| important because the moving platforms allow you to by-pass a
| snake-infested pit to the right. You really want to avoid that
| if at all possible.
Once you've got all the Butterflies (you should have eight so far) jump right
on to the Moving Platform and move off on to the next. Another Apple Core
Switch will start this second one moving, allowing you to completely by-pass
the snake-pit below.
On the far side of the snake-pit you will see a Large Snake, with a Spyglass
in front of it. Look through the Spyglass (press "R"):
Klaus
Look, it's an Inky Newt! But how do we get past the
snake? I wonder if there's some way I could FEED
it...?
And indeed there is... fluttering around to the left you should see a small
FLY. If Klaus empties his Water Pump, then he will be able to suck the fly
into it instead of Ink (using "L", as before, to absorb).
|NOTE Klaus can only hold one FLY at a time, and you can only collect
| one when your tank is empty.
Head to the right, and as you draw near to the snake press "B" to release the
FLY. The Snake will swallow the fly, and -- for a short time -- it will not
bother with you. Above the pit to the right are two more Butterflies -- try
to catch them by jumping, but there's a Drum you can use should you miss.
Also in the pit you will find the aforementioned Inky Newt:
OBJECT Inky Newt {+1%}
------ ----------------
Examine This newt looks different. It is jet black and its ink is of
superb quality.
Now we need to get back past the Large Snake... luckily, there's another fly
here that Klaus can use to feed the snake so we can pass in safety. Have
Sunny drag the Drum nearer to the left-hand wall, then have Klaus jump up and
release the fly. Once the snake has it in its neck, use the Drum to jump back
up and head past the snake.
Over on the left-hand side you'll find a crate; have Sunny bite into this and
you will see a Lever inside. Pull this and a platform will rise which will
take you back across the Snake Pit and -- most importantly -- allow you to
collect the final Butterfly of the room.
Return, through Sample Storage, back to the Reptile Room.

Back in the Reptile Room, head right and you'll find a lever that triggers a
Vertical Moving Platform into the upper area of the room.
|NOTE The platform's movement is "single-shot" -- pulling the lever
| makes it rise and fall once only. Make sure you jump on to the
| platform as it rises, otherwise you'll have to pull the lever
| again.
The platform lets you catch the first of the room's four Butterflies, and also
to jump to a platform that gives access to the Newt Room.
|TIP Returning here from the Newt Room produces a quite a few
| Photographs in the Reptile Room, so popping into and out from
| there is a handy way of accumulating them.
Also, just inside the Newt room are two bunches of Apple Cores,
so if Violet's running low, pop back and forth between the two
rooms.

...............................................................................
|There's a Book Page above the entrance, but you won't be able to reach it for
| a while.
Head left; there's a drop that you cannot jump directly back from (although
there's a Horizontal Moving Platform that you can use to do so). A Lever here
starts a Horizontal Moving Platform just above the tops of some "pens" --
there are ten of these stretching away to the left. Pull the lever to start
the platform moving.
The first "pen" contains the Trigger Point for the book "The Basic Nine"
(which we'll be using before too long); number five contains a currently
inactive Lever; and the last contains a Butterfly. The remaining pens (nos.
2, 3, 4 and 6 through to 9) each contain an Inkguana and a Switch.
Drop into the first pen, and have Violet throw a couple of Apple Cores over
the wall to get rid of the Inkguana (press UP when throwing). Jump over the
wall into the next pen and flip the switch with another Apple Core. Continue
in this way for all the pens, ignoring the inactive lever for now.
When you flip the last switch, the scene will pan back to show the inactive
lever being activated. Head back right to it; pulling the newly-activated
lever will open a door leading to the Printing Room (to be found to the left
of the pens). Head back left and collect the Butterfly in the last pen.
Now, jump out of the pen to the left-hand side and nip into and straight back
out from the Printing Room. This will refill the pens with switches (and
Inkguanas).
This might seem counterproductive, but it's necessary to be able to get all
the Butterflies. Clean out the pens as before, only this time you're heading
left-to-right. When you flip the last switch, the lever in the middle will
once again become active. This time, when you pull it, you will see a
horizontal platform begin to move.
To finish the room, we need to investigate the area above the pens. Standing
on one of the pen walls, wait for a Horizontal Moving Platform to appear and
jump on to it. From here, you should be able to get to the wooden platform in
the middle of the room (above the pen where the lever is). On the platform
you will see another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Reptile Hopscotch" by Julitoad Cort�zar [1]2 - - - - :
...............................................................................
The next bit is going to involve some tricky jumping between moving platforms
-- you'll be doing a lot of jumping, a lot of falling back into the pens and a
lot of cursing before you're finished!
Wait for a for a horizontal platform to move across (at about head-height for
Violet) and jump on to it. This crosses almost the whole width of the room,
passing below three other moving platforms -- the left and right ones move
diagonally; the middle one moves vertically. It will be jumping to these that
proves tricky.
Luckily, we only really need to worry about the upper-right area -- there's
nothing of any real importance in the upper-left or upper-middle areas of the
room (although the middle platform does provide an alternative route to the
upper-right area, if you jump to the right at the very top of its travel).
Get to the right-hand area and you will find another Handbag-Throwing White-
Faced Woman -- as before, dodge her attacks and hit her while she's stamping
her foot; as before, I prefer to use Sunny.
Once you've got rid of her, a second Butterfly will drift down from above.
Catch it, then walk over to the right-hand edge -- if you've pulled the lever
in the middle pen for the second time, you should see a Horizontally Moving
Platform. Jump on it and you will pass close to the third (and final)
Butterfly and also to the Book Page above the original entrance.

Printing Room Butterflies +3
[B2PR] Quest +2%
Book Pages +2
...............................................................................
This room is a little tricky -- there's a Powder Bomb-throwing White-Faced
Woman up above the entrance, which means you can't really stop to look around
and get a feel for the place. To make matters worse, it's a bit of a trek to
get close enough to get rid of her.
So, the first priority is to get to the White-Faced Woman: head right and
jump up to a raised floor where you'll find the bottom of a "lift" -- a
vertical moving platform between a couple of side-walls. Because of the
walls, you can't jump across to the platform; you'll need to stand directly
below and jump straight up.
On the way up, change to Sunny. At the top, jump to the left and duck under a
low barrier, then bite through a crate. Switch to Klaus, jump down to the
left to one ledge, then again to another ledge with the White-Faced Woman --
let loose with Klaus's Water-Pump. Once she's gone, you can relax slightly.
If you've not already caught it, the first of three Butterflies should be
around the ledge you're on.
Jump back to the upper-right platform and switch to Violet. Above you are
some short pieces of ladder; use them to jump to the top-left of the room
where you find the last page of a book:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Basic Nine" by Danny Handy 1 2[3]4 5 6 :
...............................................................................
Return to the platform where the White-Faced Woman was; below the ledge you
will see the second Butterfly. To get there, stand at the right-hand edge and
keep DOWN pressed -- the view should pan down to show a moving platform. Drop
on to this and collect the Butterfly.
To the right of the moving platform is a ledge with another Ink Switch on it:
INK SWITCH Green x2
---------- --------
Effect Releases moving platform
|NOTE If Klaus isn't loaded with Green Ink, you can drop down and head
| right to the raised floor -- there's a Green Inkguana there. On
| the other hand, the platform's only of marginal use, so you
| might want to just ignore it.
Either using the new moving platform or the original lift, get back to the top
and this time jump to the right, dropping on to a wooden platform. Fall off
to the left, dropping just right of the "lift" -- you should catch the third
Butterfly on the way down.
Return once again to the top of the lift and get to the platform on the right
again. As Violet, jump across some more small sections of ladder to the right
to reach a ledge with a Printing Press on it.
|WARNING Unfortunately, this manoeuvre is complicated by a pair of Giant
| Snakes below the ladders -- these have a habit of swallowing you
| up and spitting you out.
Unfortunately, once you get to the Printing Press, you find it's too big to
carry as it is:
OBJECT Printing Press
------ --------------
Examine {LS} A large printing press. It is inky and impressive.
Take {K} It's too BIG to carry like this. Violet, maybe if you TOOK
IT APART...
So have Violet take it to pieces first:

------ --------------

Reptile Room Butterflies +3
[B2RR] Quest --
Book Pages +1
...............................................................................
There are two Butterflies either side of the wooden platform, which will take
the room's total to three. Below these, a pair of Inkguanas lie in wait.
|TIP The easiest way of taking them out is to stand on the lower lamp
| on one side, crouch and chuck a couple of Apple Cores at the
| Inkguana on the other side. Repeat from the other side.
Drop down on to the platform below and you'll find a Lever that will start a
platform moving to the right -- however, don't flip it yet -- along it's route
is another Large Snake. So switch to Klaus, empty his Water Tank and drop to
the main floor below, where you should find a Fly for Klaus to suck up.
Use the platform on the far left of the room to get back to the Lever and
Moving Platform. Pull the Lever and quickly jump on to the Moving Platform.
When you get near the Large Snake, shoot out the Fly and, while the snake is
feeding, drop down to collect the Book Page in front of the snake. With luck,
you will be able to jump up and get back on to the moving platform before it
gets out of reach.
...............................................................................
: Book "Reptile Hopscotch" by Julitoad Cort�zar 1 2[3]- - - :
...............................................................................
|NOTE If you don't manage to get back on the platform, just head back
| to the left and try again. Remember to stock up with another
| Fly to keep the Large Snake occupied while you pass (there's no
| need to get off the platform once you've got the Book Page).
|TIP If you need to make another attempt, rather than wait for the
| platform to get all the way across to the right and then come
| back, nip to the Montgomery Halls Downstairs and back -- this
| will reset it much more quickly.
When the platform gets to the right-hand side of the room, jump to a small
platform above another Inkguana. As the ceiling further on is low, it's
probably best to switch to Sunny before jumping to the right and running up a
slope to get the fourth and final Butterfly of the Reptile Room.
We've finished in here for a while, so head back left to the Montgomery Halls
Downstairs door. On the way, we can check to see if either of the objects
we're carrying are of interest to Uncle Monty:
PERSON Uncle Monty
------ -----------
Talk Don't know where to find EVERGREEN PLANKS? Why in the EVERGREEN
FOREST of course! It's out BEHIND the BACK GARDEN.
Discuss If you need TOOLS, try looking in the SHED in the BACK GARDEN.
Tease I think I left the PILLOWS up in my BEDROOM loft. Snakes love
goose-down pillows. Little known fact.
Give [either] Wonderful! But before anything I'll need those PLIERS
to put it together.
He's not really saying WHY, but it looks like he wants a pair of PLIERS as
well as the EVERGREEN PLANKS and the PILLOWS. He mentions the Back Garden
twice, so the Front Garden might be a sensible place to explore soon.
Before we do though, there are a couple of lose ends to tie-up. If necessary,
empty Klaus's Water Pump and collect one of the Flies that's hovering around
the Reptile Room before returning to the Montgomery Halls Downstairs.

Head right, jump up and carry on up the steps toward the door to the Guest
Room. Use the ledges to its right to jump up above the door and head back

release the captured Fly so that we can pass safely.
On the ledge to the left of the snake we will find the fifth and final
Butterfly for the area.
The other lose end was the Virginian Wolfsnake in the Writing Room which, if
you remember, wanted a Printing Press. Since we've recently found one, we may
as well go and deliver it: head right, up the steps to the Montgomery Halls

Drop down to the left of the porch and walk right along the ground. Just
beyond an Ink Switch (Red x10) you'll find a Milk Delivery Box:
OBJECT Milk Delivery Box
------ -----------------
Examine {LS} In some places, milk comes via delivery, and not in
cardboard cartons.
Open {LS} I'm afraid it's not that easy. It's locked.
Tinker {V} I don't think it's right breaking into Monty's milkcrate.
There must be another way.
The way to unlock the crate, as you may have guessed from the tip earlier, is
to use the Ink Switch:
INK SWITCH Red x10
---------- -------
Effect Unlocks the Milk Delivery Box {+1%}
Unlocking the Milk Delivery Box reveals some Fresh Milk:
OBJECT Fresh Milk {+1%}
------ -----------------
Examine A bottle of fresh milk, suitable for crying babies, cats, and
cold cream soups.
Head right to where there's an undulating hedge in front of a couple of square-
cut hedges. Jump up to the first square-cut hedge where you will find an Ink
Switch (Purple x25) and the bottom of a swing. Just in reach above the swing
will be the first of twelve Butterflies gracing the garden.
Jump across to the next square-cut hedge where there's another Butterfly. Use
one of the Green Inkguanas to change the colour of Klaus's shots and drop down
to the right where there's a gate protected by an Ink Switch (Green x3).
Activate the switch and head through to collect the third Butterfly.
INK SWITCH Green x3
---------- --------
Effect Opens garden gate
|NOTE Unlike most Ink Switches, this one does not "remember" that it
| has been triggered; every time you enter the garden (or your
| Misery Meter reaches maximum and you restart), you will have to
| use another three shots of Ink to open the gate. However, we
| will shortly be able to bypass the gate, so this doesn't matter
| too much.
If you are returning from the right-hand side (after leaving the
Front Garden), you will find the gate locked and the Ink Switch
on the far side. Although it looks inaccessible, you can still
activate the switch from the right-hand side. You can also
climb over the gate and the hedge above it, either using the
Bramble Ladder or a series of steps to the right.
Find yourself a Purple Inkguana and absorb some of its ink to change the
colour in Klaus's Water Pump. Return through the gate, jump to the left-hand
square-cut hedge and activate the Ink Switch.
INK SWITCH Purple x25
---------- ----------
Effect Releases Moving Platform
Jump on to the platform, jumping off onto the swing at the upper-right. As
well as some Flies, which we won't need for a while, we'll find a fourth
Butterfly off the right-hand side of the swing.
|TIP Now that the platform is active, we don't need to use the garden
| gate anymore: from this side, jumping from this swing will allow
| you to clear the top of the hedge above the gate; from the other
| side, there is a series of steps that allow you to jump back.
|FOR LATER On the left of the moving platform is a ledge that comes out
| from the eaves of the house; this leads to a Large Snake
| guarding another Butterfly. Since Klaus's Water Pump needs to
| be empty to collect the Fly that will let us past the snake,
| we'll deal with this later.
Also on the left, from the swing under that ledge, you can
almost -- but not quite -- jump to another ledge below the upper
windows. This is where the area's "missing" Butterflies are,
but we won't be able to get there until we've completed the main
part of the game.
If you're still on the swing where you got the last Butterfly, jump over the
hedge to the right -- you can actually land on it if you're careful! If you
do, jump to the right to a series of descending steps, the first of which
holds a fifth Butterfly. Otherwise, from just to the right of the garden
gate, have Violet climb to the top of the Bramble Ladder and do the same.
At the bottom of the steps you will see a tall, thin bush formed from five
"blobs" of leaves on top of each other. Jump on to the top of this and then
to a long swing above where you'll find another Butterfly (your sixth).
Drop off to the right and walk to the end of the Front Garden. Just before it
turns into the Back Garden, there is a row of three bushy trees, the last
lower than the others. Jump on to this, up to a platform above, and left to a
longish swing. A smaller swing above and to the left holds the seventh
Butterfly.
Drop back to the ground and head right to the Back Garden.

WARNING
There appears to be a "glitch" in the game (or, at least
in my copy) which allowed you to collect QUEST POINTS at
the wrong time. I could trigger this by saving in the
Back Garden and then returning to the Front Garden. In
fact, you can get all the way to 100% by doing this
repeatedly!
This doesn't seem to cause a problem, other than you Quest
Score will be wrong. If you want to avoid this, the best
approach is to do the WHOLE of the Front and Back Gardens
without saving (up to the point where you get past the
Large Snake in the Front Garden).
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Ignore everything above the ground for now; head right along the ground and
you'll find another Garden Gate protected by an Ink Switch (Green x5).
Collect some green ink if needed and open it.
INK SWITCH Green x5
---------- --------
Effect Opens garden gate
Head through and climb the brown snake statue. In front of its head is a
Wooden Crate -- have Sunny bite into this and a Lever is revealed. Pull this,
and the scene will pan to show a trapdoor in the Shed to the right opening.
Head across there, drop into the hole, and you will be able to collect the
Pliers that Uncle Monty wants:
OBJECT Pliers {+1%}
------ -------------
Examine A pair of pliers.
Jump out to the right, drop to the ground and carry on to the right where
you'll find some more of the house. Past the steps you will find a Broken
Ladder against the wall:
OBJECT Broken Ladder
------ -------------
Examine The ladder is missing its bottom half, and doesn't reach the
ground. The ladder leads to an upper-story window.
Push/Pull {V} I can't even reach it.
Tinker {S} Doppa! (It's already broken!)
Use [Ladder Piece] -- mends the ladder. {+1%}
Now that the ladder has been repaired, have Violet climb to the top and head
left. There's an open window that leads back to the Writing Room.

Descend from the house (unfortunately, you cannot just fall off the left-hand
side). Head left and climb the Snake Statue so that you can clamber back
across the garden shed. Along the way, collect some ink from a Red Inkguana.
Towards the left-hand end of the Back Garden you'll see a hedge rising to the
left where -- in its "mouth" -- you will see an Ink Switch (Red x5). To
reach it, you'll have to walk left off the top of its "head" and immediately
press RIGHT to land on its lower "jaw". Activating the switch releases a
Moving Platform and a Butterfly -- although you may catch it before you see it.
INK SWITCH Red x5
---------- ------
Effect Releases Moving Platform and Butterfly
That's the last of the Ink Switches we'll meet for a bit, and as we have a
couple of Large Snakes to deal with, have Klaus empty his Water Pump and go
and absorb a Fly (there should be one around the "neck"; under the newly-
moving platform).
Once Klaus is carrying a Fly, jump to the moving platform and across right to
a small swing. Jump right to the next -- longer -- swing, where you'll see a
Large Snake. Release the Fly and pass safely, jumping right to a third swing
with the Back Garden's second and final Butterfly.
Drop back to the floor and head left back to the Front Garden.

Head left through the garden; before you get to the garden gate, jump up the
series of platforms (marked with distances in feet) so that you can jump over
the top of the gate and the hedge rising from it.
Drop down on the far side and climb back up to where the Purple Ink Switch is
-- the platform it released earlier should still be moving, so jump on to it.
Jump to the swing on the right where there are some more Flies and absorb one
in Klaus's pump.
Jump back to the platform and jump left at the top of its travel to land on a
ledge that extends from the eaves of the roof. Walk left and you'll find
another Large Snake. Pacify it with the Fly and carry on past to get the
eighth Butterfly from the Front Garden.
We could take the Pillows and Pliers back to Uncle Monty, but we'll only need
to come back this way again later for the Planks, so there's not much point.
Return past the Snake to the Moving Platform and jump back to the right so
that we can jump over the fence and gate once again. Head all the way right
through both the Front and Back Gardens, and you'll eventually come to the
Montgomery Evergreen Forest.

Shortly after you enter the forest, you will see our old friend, the Virginian
Wolfsnake:
CREATURE Virginian Wolfsnake
-------- -------------------
Talk If you need to find your way through the forest, FOLLOW the
LADYBUGS. They'll lead you to the FOREST CLEARING where I work.
Discuss You have a give [gift?] for argument. I would try to get that
refunded.
A cut-scene will then show a Ladybug fluttering down to above your head. When
you regain control, it will begin to move off, showing you the way to go.
|NOTE To see the "Discuss" response above, do it before you "Talk" to
| the snake, as it disappears after the Ladybug appears.
If you leave the forest and return, the Virginian Wolfsnake will
be back and you will have to talk again to get the Ladybug to
appear.
|NOTE The Ladybug will lead you around the forest and pause at a
| TRANSFER POINT -- these act like the doorways/windows you've
| seen throughout the game, but just take you to different parts
| of the forest, not to new rooms.
Once you follow her through one Transfer Point, she will lead to
another and so on. This will happen several five times before
you get to the Forest Clearing.
Although you can follow some of the route she shows you without
her being summoned, the Transfer Points will not be active, so
you cannot get far.
First Bit
---------
Jump right across the tombstone-like blocks until you reach a hole in the tree
at the right-hand side of the area. If you drop to the ground, carry on; you
can jump to the last stone from the mound under the hole.
Second Bit
----------
Jump to the right and then up some tree branches to collect the first page of
a new Book. Continue up the branches (switching from left to right); you
should see two more pages and the next Transfer Point.
...............................................................................
: Book "The Voyage Outside" by the Virginian Wolfsnake [1-2]- -[5]- :

---------
There's another Book Page just above the Inkguana to the right.

Jump up to the small ledge above then left to the branch. Head left for the
next Transfer Point.
Fourth Bit
----------
Head right past a dip in the branch and a tree trunk. Near the end of the
next branch, there's what looks like a small tree trunk growing in mid air
with leaves twined around it. This acts as a Ladder, so switch to Violet if
necessary and climb it. At the top, head right, then jump back to a higher
branch on the left. Jump up to the branch above this and head right to find
the next Transfer Point.
Fifth Bit
---------
Follow much the same route as for the Fourth Bit; climbing up the same leaf-
entwined tree. This time at the top, head left, jumping to a ledge that
wasn't there before. At its end, jump up to a small swing. The final
Transfer Point is to the left, but there's another Book Page in reach to the
right:

below. From the upper-left end of this, you should be able to jump to the
Butterfly.
Return back to the branch above where the Butterfly was and jump across to a
branch with a number of photographs leading down. Jump through these and
you'll land on the TREADMILL mentioned by the sign. This moves you to the
left into the clutches of the Large Snake we saw earlier, so keep moving to
the right.
If you do get caught by the snake, then after being spat back out, a man in
the building to the right pipes up:
Forester
We are private people here. If you disturb the snake,
you'll probably disturb us, too. Please go away.
A platform then rises up and transports you back to the left-hand side of the
Large Snake and you have to clamber your way back through trees!
At the right-hand end of the Treadmill is an Apple Core Switch controlling a
gate into a building. Have Violet throw an apple at the switch so that you
can get off the treadmill and have a rest. Inside, you can talk to the
Forester:
PERSON Forester
------ --------
Talk No, I'm afraid I work too hard to give away EVERGREEN PLANKS for
free.
Discuss I suppose I could give you a PLANK if you could help me put
together this PRINTING PRESS
Tease I am a writer. I know how to feed the PRINTING PRESS but not
how to assemble it.
And sure enough, up ahead you find the disassembled printing press, the
Virginian Wolfsnake you gave it to earlier, and -- on a shelf -- a plank of
wood:
OBJECT Disassembled Printing Press
------ ---------------------------
Examine {LS} The PRINTING PRESS lies disassembled on the ground. You
took it apart, so presumably you'd know how to put it BACK
TOGETHER.
Take {VW} We had an agreement. To give and then to take away is a
betrayal.
CREATURE Virginian Wolfsnake
-------- -------------------
Discuss Sometimes the peaceful countryside is exactly what I need, but
sometimes it's a prison.
OBJECT Evergreen Plank
------ ---------------
Examine An Evergreen Plank. It is green and fresh-smelling.
Take {F} I chopped that WOOD with my own two hands. And I refuse
you access to them with two words, NO WAY. Or, at least, not
without doing me a favour first...
Have Violet reassemble the Printing Press: {+1%}
Violet
I've missed building things. Thanks for the chance.
How exotic it must be to be an author.
Forester
You are quite deft with machinery. But to use the
press I'll still need INK. You'd think with all of
the INKGUANAS racing around that we would have plenty.
But I CAN'T USE that ink... like its source, it tends
to run.
This leaves behind the reassembled Printing Press, though the Forester still
won't let you take the wood:
OBJECT Printing Press
------ --------------
Examine {LS} A large printing press. It is inky and impressive.
PERSON Forester
------ --------
Talk A Forester, a Printing Press, and a snake prone to moods. We're
not the happiest bunch, I know.
Discuss The INK I need comes from an INKY NEWT that Montgomery keeps in
a special room off of the REPTILE ROOM.
Luckily, we can help:
Give [Inky Newt] Now we can start publishing again! Sorry if I
needled you. Help yourself to those PLANKS you were eyeing
earlier.
Talk Thanks a lot! Of course you can help yourself to an EVERGREEN
PLANK.
Tease MONTGOMERY uses only the finest EVERGREEN PLANKS for his reptile
traps. Aren't you supposed to be delivering one to him?
And the Virginian Wolfsnake has changed its mood again:
CREATURE Virginian Wolfsnake
-------- -------------------
Talk It's always nice to meet a s-s-satisfied reader. I've run out
of INK for the new book I'm writing. Just fill the PURPLE INK
POT in back of the cabin.
So, another job to do, but at least we can now collect the plank:
OBJECT Evergreen Plank {+1%}
------ ----------------------
Examine An Evergreen Plank. Monty needs this to build traps.
Jump up from where you collected the plank and carry on up to the top of some
cages on the right. If you jump into the "cabin" on the left, you'll need to
switch to Sunny to bite through a crate that blocks your way and then back to
Violet to climb a ladder. This lets you get on the roof of the building -- to
the left is a series of Sinking Platforms and access to a number of
Butterflies.
|TIP To reach the Butterfly you can see from the top of the building,
| stand on the right-hand Sinking Platform until it has dropped as
| low as it goes. Jump a couple of times "on the spot" to allow
| it to rise slightly, so that you can jump to the next platform
| (the one directly under the Butterfly). If you jump as soon as
| you land, you should be able to catch it.
There are two more in the area below the platforms -- you'll fall down around
the Treadmill area, and may need a couple of attempts, but shouldn't be too
hard to get. Once you've done (you should now have four Butterflies), climb
back up inside the building to the top of the cages.
If Klaus has 25 or more shots of Purple Ink, then head left and back onto the
roof. Jump from the right-hand end on to a Hanging Platform (this might be
easier as Sunny); the second contains an Ink Switch (Purple x25) -- this is
what the Virginian Wolfsnake wants you to fill.
If Klaus doesn't have enough Ink, or it's the wrong colour (as will probably
be the case), then you'll need to drop off the right of the cages. The ledges
and ground below contain a mixture of Red and Purple Inkguanas which you can
use to restock and change colour. BUT:
|NOTE Unfortunately, you cannot jump back out of this area, so you
| have two choices:
o You can let your Misery Meter go over the maximum -- you
will reappear at the entrance on the left-hand side where
you can climb the trees and enter the building again, or:
o There's an Ink Switch (Red x25) which releases a pair of
vertical moving platforms that will allow you to get back to
the top.
Whichever way you use to get back, make sure you have at least
25 shots of Purple Ink before you do so!
|FOR LATER The bottom-right of the Forest Clearing leads to Cloudy Cliffs
| Court, but Violet says "I don't think we're ready for this yet."
| -- you won't actually be ready until after the main part of the
| game!
By one route or another, get to the Hanging Platform and trigger the Purple
Ink Switch.
INK SWITCH Purple x25

Effect Two Book Pages
Virginian Wolfsnake
You are very helpful for children. Please take these
PAGES, one from my newest work.
I had more pages printed up, but they BLEW AWAY in the
wind when I was at LACHRYMOSE LAKE.
To get the fifth and final Butterfly, jump right to another Hanging Platform
and then onwards to the branches of a tree. When you have it, head back and
descend inside the building to collect the pages that the Virginian Wolfsnake
has dropped for us:

There were more pages printed up, but they BLEW AWAY
in the wind around LACHRYMOSE LAKE.
As we don't know where the Lake is yet, we cannot do much about these other
pages. Instead, we've got several items to deliver back at the house, plus
all the pages of "The Voyage Outside" to make use of.

...............................................................................
Drop down to the ground by any route you prefer; on the floor at the left,
near the exit to the Back Garden is a flat slab of stone with a Trigger Point
on top of it.
BOOK USE "The Voyage Outside"
-------- --------------------
Book Text Those who think that there is only one path through the
EVERGREEN MONTGOMERY FOREST are very very wrong.
Enter this code to get a LADYBUG GUIDE who will LEAD along a
secret path through the forest maze.
Code "A", DOWN, "L", "B"
Effect Follow Ladybug for Butterflies (x4).
This will cause another Ladybug to appear to lead you down a "secret path".
It actually takes you up close to the exit back to the Forest Clearing and
ends up hovering just up and to the right of the swing near there.
|NOTE A Horizontal Moving Platform is also released that can take you
| to the Ladybug from the trees to the right; however, you don't
| really need to use this. Just make your way back up to the exit
| to the Forest Clearing and the swing next to it.
Jump towards the Ladybug and the four Butterflies that are in the Evergreen
Montgomery Forest will be released. They tend to spread out a bit, but you
should be able to catch them all without too many problems, even if you end up
dropping lower and having to make your way back up.
Once you have caught all the Butterflies, make your way left to the Back
Garden. You can either come in through the window to the Writing Room or
carry on through the Front Garden. Either way, you will want to head to the
Reptile Room from the Montgomery Halls Downstairs to meet up again with Uncle
Monty.
|TIP If you've saved the game since your first visit to the Front
| Garden, and want to minimise the chance of the Quest Score
| glitch I mentioned earlier, it's probably best to return via the
| Writing Room.

Return to Uncle Monty and start handing over the items you've collected; quest
points are awarded and Book Pages appear as you do. First, the Pliers: {+1%}
Uncle Monty
Ah, thank you so much. Do you happen to have those
PILLOWS yet?
Next, the Plush Pillows: {+1%}
Uncle Monty
Splendid! The snakes will be very comfortable on the
trip back. All I need now is that EVERGREEN PLANK.
And finally the Evergreen Plank: {+1%}
Uncle Monty
Gripping! Now the last thing I need for these traps
is ROPE. Ah, and you might be needing this...
[Green Gem appears]
Now that COW LIZARD gets cranky when he's tired. I
think it's about time for his bottle.
Let's get some more details form Uncle:
PERSON Uncle Monty
------ -----------
Talk The last thing I need for these traps is ROPE. There's some in
the Alaskan Cow Lizard's tank.
Discuss Like any baby COW LIZARD, that one likes MILK for his bottle.
Tease Very ingenious that COW LIZARD TANK. The door to the ROPE
storage WON'T OPEN if the baby cow lizard is crying. Sound
activated!
And now we can pick up the gem:
OBJECT Green Gem {+1%}
------ ----------------
Examine A glittering Green Gem. It sort of looks like an eye.
Which should give you a clue to use it in the Snake Eye Socket over to the
left. Before we do though, there are some Book Pages to collect, the last
three of "Reptile Hopscotch":
...............................................................................
: Book "Reptile Hopscotch" by Julitoad Cort�zar 1 2 3[4-5-6] :
...............................................................................
Finally, putting the Green Gem in the Snake Eye Socket opens the door to the
Alaskan Cow Lizard. {+1%}
|NOTE Now is probably the best time to nip back to the Montgomery
| Halls Downstairs and use "Reptile Hopscotch" -- the Trigger
| Point, if you remember, was to the left of the Goldfish Bowl.
| It's not essential (you only get Photographs), but if you don't
| do it now, you won't be able to use it until after you've
| finished the main part of the game.
BOOK USE "Reptile Hopscotch"
-------- -------------------
Book Text In MONTY'S HALLS enter this code and HIPPIOTY-HOP across the
gaps WITHOUT FALING to collect your prize.
Code RIGHT, "L", "L", RIGHT, "A"
Effect Follow Ladybug for Photographs.
A Ladybug will appear and show you what you need to do: hop across the wall
brackets and small ledges to the left. The trick is that you mustn't miss and
fall to the floor, or you'll have to start over. Luckily though, there
doesn't appear to be a time limit. If you make it to the left-hand end of the
hall, you are taken to the ledge above and are surrounded by a lot of
Photographs.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
WARNING!
Once you complete Alaskan Cow Lizard, you will
automatically trigger the ending of Book 2. If you have
any "mopping up" to do, do it BEFORE you enter (or at
least, before you collect all four pieces of Rope).

Alaskan Cow Lizard Butterflies +10
[B2AC] Quest +4%
Book Pages +1
...............................................................................
Inside, there's another Treadmill to the right. As you approach (after
dealing with the Inkguana) a squadron of Mosquitoes begins to circle, so be
alert. When you've dispatched them, have Violet throw a couple of Apple Cores
at the switches above the Treadmill -- the platform between them will begin to
move allowing you to reach the ledge above the door.
Jump up the ledges to the left of the door and you will see the first of
eleven Butterflies (switching to Sunny will help to catch it, as the others
bang their heads on the bottom of the floor above).
|FOR LATER There's a ledge bottom-right that we can't jump to, even with
| the Wooden Crate nearby. Don't worry about this for now -- we
| will emerge from there later.
Head to the upper-right side of the room and turn to the left. There's a
Butterfly in front of you, trapped behind the first of a series of Apple Core
Switches. As you release one switch, the Butterfly will fly to the next and
so on. Continue hitting the switches until you get over to the left-hand side
of the room and can catch the Butterfly. If you take to long trying to hit
one switch, the Butterfly drifts back to the right and you will have to start
again.
Just below is a Wooden Crate; have Sunny bite in to it to get a third
Butterfly. Hitting all the switches also releases a couple of moving
platforms. The right-hand one leads to a platform with a Water Pipe; the
presence of this makes using Klaus to attack enemies a good idea, since he can
easily refuel.
|NOTE As you first land by the Water Pipe, another squadron of
| Mosquitoes will be released, so stay alert!
Above the switches are something new: a number of Stars hang in the air.
Somewhat surprisingly, you can walk on the tops of these -- use the Moving
Platforms in the middle of the room to get there. Cross the first Stars,
starting at the left and rising to the right and you'll be able to collect the
fourth Butterfly.
|NOTE As you begin to rise among the Stars, a White-Faced Woman will
| begin throwing Powder Bomb down upon you, so don't dawdle for
| too long as you climb.
At the end of the first climb, use a sloping ledge that's part of a planet to
jump next to a Wooden Crate. Jump across at this level to a moving platform
that will allow you to rise higher.
|TIP There's a fifth Butterfly hiding behind the star just by this
| platform; make sure you have collected it (possibly AFTER you've
| got rid of the White-Faced Woman!)
Jumping to the left from the platform allows you to reach another Wooden Crate
-- first jump up from this for the sixth Butterfly, then have Sunny bite in to
it for the seventh. Go back to the moving platform and jump to a ledge on the
right, left to the Star, and right across more stars to a ledge on the right-
hand wall for the eighth Butterfly.
Use the Stars to cross to the left, rising further as you do. On the far
left, you will see the White-Faced Woman; take her out and you can breathe a
little more easily. Head up and right across a few more Stars and you'll
arrive at the top of the room -- long strings of coloured balls decorate the
place, and on a ledge on the right you'll find the Baby Alaskan Cow Lizard,
with a wall beyond blocking further exploration:
CREATURE Baby Alaskan Cow Lizard
-------- -----------------------
Talk {S} Boobah! (I know that when I'm crying, it's usually for a
reason, and I don't like answering questions.)
Tease {S} Brum-bril! (If he's like most babies I know, he might just
want a milk bottle.)
Give [Fresh Milk] The wall rises, allowing you to pass.
Just beyond the wall you find the rope Monty wanted:
OBJECT Braided Rope
------ ------------
Examine {LS} A braided rope. Monty wanted this cut up for his
expedition.
Take {V} It's attached to the wall. SUNNY, could you bite it free?
You will also notice the number "4" next to a rope icon in the lower-left
corner of the screen. Switching to Sunny and biting through the rope as
Violet suggests produces a Rope Segment which you can collect, reducing the
number to a "3" as you do:
OBJECT Rope Segment (x4) {+4%}
------ ------------------------
Examine A section of the braided rope. It is dappled with saliva.
To the right, the platform ends with a drop past some photographs.
|TIP The three remaining Butterflies are down here; to catch two of
| them, hold LEFT as soon as you begin to fall -- there isn't time
| to reach the first Butterfly, but if you drop a little way off
| the left-hand wall you should catch the other two. (You'll get
| the last Butterfly after you complete the main part of the game).
|NOTE There's also a Book Page here -- if you drop down roughly the
| middle of the shaft you should be able to collect it:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Grapple Speed Record" by Tres Vito [1]2 3 - - - :
...............................................................................
|TIP It's easy enough to climb back up to the top of the room and try
| again, so don't worry if you miss the Butterflies at first.
At the bottom of the drop, you'll land on the ledge that we saw earlier but
couldn't get to. Within easy reach are three more Braided Ropes which, with
Sunny's help, should soon become three more Rope Segments. Once you have
these (and the Butterflies and the Book Page) head back to Uncle Monty.

Reptile Room Book 2
[B2EP] Epilogue
...............................................................................
Stefano
I had the kipper in my mouth, see... But how could I
expect the Moray eel to drag my face into a cave?
Uncle Monty
Ah, look, here they come now. Bambini, I'd like to
introduce you to Stefano, my new assistant.
Stefano
How do you do, orphans. I am Stefano, the replacement
for Gustav. Peru is a wonderful place! The beaches,
the people, the relaxed guardianship laws...
Klaus
Hang on a second... you seem very familiar...
Sunny
Yook? (Isn't Stefano Italian for Olaf?)
Stefano
Lotsa people think they know me. I just got one of
those faces.
Violet
Well, you look very much like Count Olaf to me!
Stefano
You must be mistaken, please. My name is Stefano,
expert snaketology expert. I am here to assist Dr.
Montgomery in Peru. I assume you are midgets and
monkey who work as servants in the home.
Uncle Monty
Enough small talk. I'm sure Stefano is tired from his
trip. Let's allow him to get settled.
[Stefano leaves]
Uncle Monty
Children, I think there is something strange about
Stefano.
Klaus
That's what we're trying to tell you! He's Count O...
Uncle Monty
I think he's a spy from the Reptile Society trying to
steal my Incredible Deadly Viper!
Meet me in the INKY NEWT ROOM tomorrow morning and
we'll leave for Peru without him.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inky Newt Room Book 2
[B2BB] Boss Battle
...............................................................................
You find yourself in a seemingly deserted Inky Newt Room. As you head along
the floor of what once was the snake pit, you find an Unfortunate Event has
taken place in the armchair...
Violet
Uncle Monty! Oh no...
[over film stills]
Stefano / Count Olaf
I should have -- how you say? -- warned him.
Incredibly Deadly Viper is most deadly snake in world.
Violet and Klaus
He's lying! The name is just a trick Monty was going
to play! The snake isn't deadly at all, it's totally
harmless.
Sunny
Phob-ya! (At first glance he appears frightening; but
as you can see, I'm in no danger at all).
Stefano / Count Olaf
So you are not believing me...? Alas, then it is time
for me to flee the scene; but before I do, let me
introduce you to my cohort...
Hook Handed Man
So you kids think you're pretty smart, huh? Well, I
bet you won't get the JUMP on me!
The Hook Handed Man will advance towards you, crouch down and spark his hooks
together on the floor before throwing one at you. Periodically, he'll spin
around with his arms outstretched. During all of this, he's invulnerable to
any of the children's attacks.
Which is Unfortunate...
The secret is in his words of challenge: "...you won't get the JUMP on me!".
If you manage to jump over the Hook Handed Man as he crouches down, WITHOUT
getting hit as you do so (i.e., making sure you don't flash), then for a brief
moment you can attack him from behind -- he will freeze in place and his head
will flop down as though loose. After about four successful attacks in this
manner, he will drop.
|TIP At first, it's quite difficult to tell when your attacks are
| having any effect, and therefore whether you're doing the "right
| thing". Playing as Violet may be helpful here: when he's
| invulnerable, her Apple Cores will bounce back towards her; when
| you successfully jump over, they will not bounce back.
Once you have tried this, it may be better to play as Klaus, as
although his water still has no effect when the Hook Handed Man
is invulnerable, it doesn't seem to harm Klaus as much.
Violet's Apple Cores, on the other hand, WILL do damage if they
bounce back and hit her.
Once you've got rid of him, a full Heart Locket will appear, although you
probably won't have time to walk over and make use of it before:
Violet
I'll really miss Uncle Monty... I wonder where Mr. Poe
will take us to stay next.

()===========================================================================()
You start at Cloudy Cliffs Court with a lost-looking Mr. Poe:
Mr. Poe
Hello, children. It is me again, Mr. Poe, eager to
take you to your exciting and rewarding new life with
your Aunt Josephine.
[looks around as though lost]
Unfortunately, I'm hopelessly lost. Haven't a clue
where to take you. Perhaps a MAP would help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cloudy Cliffs Court Butterflies +1
[B3CC] Quest --
Book Pages +1
...............................................................................
Have a word with him to see if there are any more clues:
PERSON Mr. Poe
------ -------
Talk Curse and blast it! I've lost that MAP again. Well, we won't
be able to go to your AUNT JOSEPHINE'S if we can't FIND OUR WAY.
Discuss In regards to her house, Josephine said I couldn't miss it, but
apparently I can.
Tease Hear that? Must be a storm brewing. Don't forget to button
your jackets.
If you try heading left, presumably back to the Forest Clearing, Mr. Poe
remarks:
Mr. Poe
Now now Children. Trust me, I'm FAIRLY sure the house
is not up that way. If you can't trust adults, who
can you trust? -Cough-
As going back doesn't seem an option, head to the right where you will shortly
see a broken-down taxi.
|TIP There's a new enemy on these screens -- a seething mass of
| LACHRYMOSE LEECHES. They'll go down quickly enough (Klaus's
| water is probably easiest), but watch out for a loose Leech or
| two that always seems to escape.
The loose Leeches have an annoying trait: when hit, they curl up
and appear to have died, but will start moving again shortly.
Make sure they're really dead before moving on!
|FOR LATER On one of the thick, wooden poles here -- just before the taxi --
| there's a Book Page, but we cannot quite reach it.
Just past the taxi is its driver:
PERSON Taxi Driver
------ -----------
Talk I'm afraid I can't take you anywhere, there's something STUCK in
my engine.
Discuss You could stand there arguing, or you could help me out and get
a WRENCH.
Tease A PARROT ruined my taxi! It swooped down and dropped an EARRING
in my engine. Pretty good aim, for a parrot.
Ok, we're now looking for a MAP and a WRENCH. Before we press on to the
right, jump on to the taxi and run up its bonnet (hood in the US) so that you
can jump to a curved branch. Above, you will see this area's sole Butterfly,
but it flutters away before you can catch it -- jump right to land on an
anchor and then back to the left and you should be able to catch it.
To the right of the anchors you will see the first page of a new Book:
...............................................................................
: Book "Fudging the Future" by Madame Lulu [1]- - - - - :
...............................................................................
Further to the right you can see what appears to be a beached boat; however,
you cannot reach the deck. Instead, drop to the ground and you will see that
someone has built a shack on the side of it. Might as well look inside...

Captain Sam's Butterflies +6
[B3CS] Quest +1%
Book Pages +1
...............................................................................
Inside, just to the left, you will find the eponymous Captain Sam:
PERSON Captain Sam
------ -----------
Talk That MAP belonged to Josephine's father. It was the only thing
he rescued from the Great Anwhistle Fire of 1872. I would have
chosen Mrs. Anwhistle; but still, it's a nice MAP.
Discuss Any more jabber like that and it's the brig for ye scalliwags,
or perhaps the bilge.
Tease You're right, without my EARRING I'm only half a captain. Arr,
I'd give ANYTHING to get it back. But the darn BIRD took it and
hid it somewhere.
The scene cuts to show a parrot (and a Butterfly) in a cage, high in the room.
Over to the left, above a raised platform, is the aforementioned map. But if
you try to get it:
Captain Sam
Not a chance, ye lubbers. That MAP looks good right
where it is.
Jump up a couple of small platforms above the Captain's head and on to a
Moving Platform. To the right is a platform with a Water Pipe you can use to
top up Klaus's tank and a Wooden Crate that Sunny can bite into for a number
of Photographs.
As Violet, return to the Moving Platform and jump to the first of a series of
ladders. Jump left, climb to the top of the middle ladder and wait for a
Diagonally-Moving Platform to appear. Jump on this to get to the top-right of
the room, passing through a line of Photographs on the way.
Stand on the platform in the middle and throw an Apple Core at the switch to
start moving. Immediately jump to the small ledge on the right and up to
collect another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Grapple Speed Record" by Tres Vito 1 2 3 - -[6] :
...............................................................................
Have Sunny bite through the Wooden Crate below to release the first of seven
Butterflies in the area.
Drop back down, get back on to the platform and throw an Apple Core at the
switch; this time jump to the platform on the left and then to a smaller one
beyond that. To the left is the second Butterfly, and above is a series of
three small Moving Platforms that follow each other in a circuit -- jump on to
one of these and jump off in the middle of the room to land at the top of a
mast by a Lever.
|TIP There's what looks like a large rip in the wallpaper at the
| right point; you can also see the tops of a couple of Louvered
| Shutters.
Pull the Lever and the Louvered Shutters will open, revealing the third
Butterfly (and provide access to one side of Captain Sam's Yard -- more on
this later). Also, a number of ledges will spring into existence. From the
upper ledge on the left jump across to the next window where you'll find the
fourth Butterfly and the entrance to Captain Sam's Yard.
To the left is another Lever that will release a Moving Platform that rises
from the floor to below the second window -- in the future, this saves you
having to follow the circuitous route we've just taken.
|TIP To make it even easier, nip into and out of Captain Sam's Yard;
| you will restart/reload from the window.
Further to the left is a long ladder -- climb it as Violet; part way up, on
the left, is the fifth Butterfly. At the top, head right along the ledge and
drop on to a small Moving Platform. You'll drop through a series of
Photographs to just above the bird cage we saw earlier and then rise again.
To the right is a second series of Photographs and the sixth Butterfly. Jump
across to catch this; angling back to the left to land on the cage. If you
miss, just use the long ladder and try again.
The seventh Butterfly is visible, but is inside the cage and you cannot catch
it. Instead, examine both the parrot and the cage:
|WARNING Don't OPEN the birdcage (middle icon on the left) until last if
| you want to see all the responses.
CREATURE Parrot
-------- ------
Talk OPEN up! Chirp. OPEN Up!
Discuss Mango wants OUTSIDE!
Tease Squuuuaaaak! Mango will peck you for that!
OBJECT Bird Cage
------ ---------
Examine Inside the birdcage, an exotic PARROT holds a wrench in its BEAK.
Open [see below]
Push/Pull {CS} Keep your fingers out of the cage, lest they be bitten, or
WRENCHED.
Tinker {V} If we broke the cage, we could hurt or anger the bird. And
he has a WRENCH.
Take {CS} Avast there, matey! That bird already has an owner.
There doesn't look like we have any option but to OPEN the cage: {+1%}
Mango
Mango is free! Free as a bored locksmith in a minimum
security prison.
[Mango flies through the window]
Mango's a pretty bird... a busy bird... and all this
beauty and work make Mango HUNGRY BIRD!
As you do, the last Butterfly manages to evade us -- we'll have to catch it
later.
|FOR LATER The Butterfly can't be caught, even if you pass over it, and
| flies up towards the top of the room -- where it's inaccessible
| until after the main part of the game.
|NOTE If you want to follow the story "properly" you could follow
| Mango the Parrot through the window and talk to him. However,
| the "Hungry Bird" bit above should be sufficient clue that he
| wants something to eat, and that we're unlikely to get the
| Wrench from him until we feed him!
However, it's quicker to ignore the yard for the moment and
carry on along Cloudy Cliffs Court. If you want to do it "the
right way", see the section ahead on Captain Sam's Yard until
you meet the Parrot.
For the "quick way", leave Captain Sam's and head right; you will pass the
Trigger Point for the Book "The Persnickety Platform", but we don't have all
the pages, so carry on to Cloudy Cliffs Court East.
If you chat to the Captain on the way out:
PERSON Captain Sam
------ -----------
Talk Ah, so ye've come back now? You didn't happen to order a TAXI?
He's been out there all day...

Cloudy Cliffs Court East Butterflies --
[B3CE] Quest +1%
Book Pages --
...............................................................................
Head right along the ground and you'll come to a house of a Fortune Teller.
Just before the door is a ledge with the Trigger Point for "Fudging the
Future", but since we only have one page so far, this isn't of much use.
Trying to enter the house gives:
Fortune Teller
We're closed! Though I predict you will COME BACK
LATER.
|NOTE Soon after you enter the area, there are a number of branches
| that you can jump up should you want to. These allow you to get
| to the roof of the Fortune Teller's house where there's another
| Hook Handed Man. However, apart from the satisfaction of taking
| out a Hook Handed Man, there's nothing to gain at the moment
| from doing this. Stick to the ground!
Carry on to the right and you will find a Vegetarian standing outside a
Realtor Office; the door to the latter being locked.
PERSON Vegetarian
------ ----------
Talk Yes, this burger is VEGETARIAN. And it's organic! And it's
mine. Hands off.
Discuss This BURGER is chock full of good stuff like NUTS and GRAINS.
WHAT do you mean I eat like a bird?
Tease And another thing... Wait... do you hear something... Oh my
stars, what's that?!
At which point a whole load of Lachrymose Leeches appear, and he continues:
Vegetarian
Ack! It's the LACHRYMOSE LEECHES! They must be
attracted to the FOOD I'm eating! Help me DEFEAT THEM
and I'll do anything!
Simply get rid of all of the Leeches from the ledge to the left of the
Vegetarian and above the door. When done, the Vegetarian will thank you:
Vegetarian
With these leeches around, it's impossible to eat in
peace! Here, you can have it.
And he drops the burger which you can now pick up:
OBJECT Veggie Burger {+1%}
------ --------------------
Examine This veggie burger is chock full of grains and seeds and all
sorts of things birds eat.
Exploring further to the right you find a boy standing in front of a video
game console:
PERSON Johnny Boy
------ ----------
Talk Not now kid, I'm going for a high-score.
Discuss In the videogame I'm playing now, I've got to collect 200
BUTTERFLIES, and I can unlock a SECRET! It's pretty tough,
though.
Tease There's nothing wrong with a grown man loving VIDEO GAMES... or
toys... or bendy action figures.
Next to Johhny, is another video game machine that's unoccupied -- "Handsome
Man".
|NOTE You can play the game if you want, although it serves no
| practical purpose in the main game. At this stage, you can only
| play two rounds, although towards the end of the game you will
| be able to buy an item in the attic that will let you play form
| the New/Load/Credits Screen's "EYE" icon. When playing like
| that, you carry on playing as long as you survive.
Use the D-Pad to move and "A" to jump; "B" will fire a shot. An
EYE icon pops up randomly and will give you extra shots when you
touch it. Shooting the "sad" faces will turn them happy, but
they will then begin radiating hearts; you lose a life if you're
hit by one of these. Change all the faces to "happy" to clear
the level.
If you wait long enough on a level, a rain cloud appears that
wipes the smile off the happy faces and turns them back to sad.
You can build up quite a lot of points by waiting for the cloud
to appear and so that you have a constant supply of sad faces
(but watch out -- if you touch the cloud, you'll lose a life).
There are also other icons that pop up randomly for extra points.
My main criticism of this and the Skipping Mini Game is that
they don't keep the high-score across sessions, which removes
most of the fun of playing.
And beyond that is another (or the same?) Grocer in front of his stall:
PERSON Grocer
------ ------
Talk Hmm, nope, sorry, I don't sell BIRD FOOD.
Tease I do sell VEGGIE BURGERS, and they have lots of nuts and grains
that BIRDS LOVE. Except I just sold the last BURGER to that guy
over there.
So even if we had met him before we met the Vegetarian (which I think would
have given a better story), he wouldn't have been of much use!
For now, it looks like the Veggie Burger might be what we need to assuage the
Parrot's hunger, and hopefully get the Wrench... Go back to the left to
Cloudy Cliffs Court, into Captain Sam's shack, and through the window where
the Parrot went to Captain Sam's Yard (head left along the floor and use the
Moving Platform we released earlier).
|FOR LATER There's a Book Page above the Grocer's Cart, but it's out of
| reach for a while. Also, there are four Butterflies that are
| conspicuous by their absence.

Captain Sam's Yard Butterflies +9
[B3SY] Quest +1%
Book Pages +2
...............................................................................
|NOTE There are two halves to Captain Sam's Yard that are divided by a
| tall wooden mast. The left-hand side (where you should be now)
| is accessed through the window the Parrot flew through; the
| right-hand side is accessed through the window to its right
| (where you originally pulled the Lever to open the Shutters).
To get between the two sides, you have to travel back to Captain
Sam's shack and use the other window.
As you emerge, you will see the Parrot fly off to the left and then upwards.
Follow it, and past a few thick poles in the ground you will find a Drum.
First, use it to catch a Butterfly to the left, then have Sunny move it to the
right, a little past the last pole (under a branch).
Use the drum to jump to the branch above (watch out for a Slew of Leeches);
jump right across another branch to a horizontal one (and more Leeches).
There's a second Butterfly to catch as you land. At the right-hand end of the
branch is another Drum -- use it to catch the three Butterflies above.
|TIP Leave the Butterfly to the right of the Drum to last, since you
| may miss the branch trying to land after you've caught it. If
| you do, just circle around to the left again.
Once you have all three Butterflies, have Sunny drag the Drum close to the
left-hand end of the branch and use it to get to another branch above and to
the left, where you'll find the sixth Butterfly.
As you jump across to the next branch on the left (where there's a Photograph)
get ready: two Butterflies will emerge from a hole in the rock, one flying to
the left, one to the right -- concentrate on catching the one that flies left,
but don't worry if you miss, since we can catch it later. Jump back to the
long branch on the right (where the Drum is) to get the Butterfly that flew
right.
The next bit can be a little tricky, and it may take a few attempts before you
get it right. There are three poles to the left, each taller than the
previous; the first two have Drums on top of them that you need to use to get
to the next pole. On the last pole you will find the Parrot -- Mango -- that
flew off from the cage. Also, from above the first pole you should collect
another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Persnickety Platform" by Skye McCloud [1]2 - - 5 6 :
...............................................................................
When you finally get there, have a word with the Mango:
CREATURE Parrot (Mango)
-------- --------------
Talk Squuaaaak. This makes Mango sad. Mango is emotionally complex.
Tease Mango wants a VEGGIE BURGER.
Give [Veggie Burger] Mango has a happy beak. Yum Yum. Brawwk.
At which point he flies off, leaving the Wrench behind:
OBJECT Wrench {+1%}
------ -------------
Examine A standard mechanic's wrench. It has motor oil all over it.
Someone must have been working on a car.
If you didn't catch the left-flying Butterfly earlier, jump left from Mango's
pole "into" the rock face -- you'll land on a ledge halfway down with a branch
sticking out. The Butterfly will be fluttering at its end.
You should now have eight of the ten Butterflies. For the ninth, we'll need
to switch to the right-hand half of Captain Sam's Yard, so nip back through
the window and come back out of the one to the right.
On the right of where you re-emerge is what looks like a pair of trapdoors and
a sign:
OBJECT Lachrymose-Lake-By-Air-Tours Sign
------ ---------------------------------
Examine See the lovely Lachrymose Lake by air, through our innovative
MOVING PLATFORM TOURS. Hours of Operation: Sporadic.
At the moment, "sporadic" means "not now", so head to the left and jump up
some fixed ledges. Above these are four Sinking Platforms stretching to the
right, leading to a Butterfly.
Jump on the first and let it sink almost all way then jump to the second and
almost immediately to the third. Let this one sink until you can only just
make the jump to the fourth platform (we need it to be as high as possible
when you land on it). If you jump too soon, the fourth platform will be too
low to let you reach the Butterfly; if you jump too late, you won't be able to
reach the fourth platform and will have to try again. If you get it right,
jump immediately to catch the Butterfly, trying to land back on the fourth
platform.
There's also another Book Page we can collect: start from the fourth (right-
most) platform and face left. Let it sink all the way, then jump left back to
the third platform and carry on to a new platform above and to the left of it.
You should see the Book Page above you; let the new platform sink for a bit
then jump left to another platform and jump back for the Book Page:
...............................................................................

For now, head back through the Captain's shack to Cloudy Cliffs Court and see
what we can do with the Wrench.

Shortly after entering the lane you will encounter another Hook Handed Man --
deal with him as before by having Klaus jump over him as he ducks and
squirting from behind. He's probably slightly easier than the "Boss" one you
met at the end of Book Two.
Just past him are some branches; although not strictly necessary, we'll climb
these to gather some information for later. Follow these upwards, roughly to
the left, and you should reach a long Wooden Platform at the top where you'll
find a man stood next to a Weathervane:
PERSON Victor F. Daggerly
------ ------------------
Talk Victor F. Daggerly, weatherman at your service.
Discuss According to my readings, HURRICANE HERMAN should be a fluffy
little kitten of a storm, hardly a hurricane at all!
Tease My readings, however, are not completely accurate. There is a
GLARE from the WINDOW over there that keeps me from reading all
of my INSTRUMENTS.
At which point the view pans to the left (past a fairly inaccessible-looking
Book Page) to the window of what is presumably Aunt Josephine's house).
Examining the Weathervane gives:
OBJECT Weathervane
------ -----------
Examine {K} A beautiful WEATHERVANE with iron scoops for catching the
wind. It is turning briskly.
Push/Pull {K} The wind is doing a fine job at pulling this around without
our help.
Take {VFD} Please step away from the WEATHERVANE, children. You're
interrupting the wind-flow.
We can be pretty sure we're going to need the Weathervane at some point, so it
looks like we might need to do a spot of window-cleaning somewhere down the
line!
To the right of the platform is a smaller one with a Book Page above it. You
cannot jump to the platform itself, but you can get the page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Tree-Hopping for Dunces" by Mssr. Lulu -[2]- - - - :
...............................................................................
(It looks like it might have been written by the husband of "Fudging the
Future"'s author).
|FOR LATER There's another Book Page on the ledge above Victor, and a
| suspicious "whirling" pattern above a small ledge off the left-
| hand edge of Victor's platform -- we'll see more of these a
| little later.
There's nothing more we can do here, so drop back to the ground and carry on
left towards Aunt Josephine's house. Before you get to the door you will find
another Milk Box:
OBJECT Milk Delivery Box
------ -----------------
Examine {LS} The milk-box is LOCKED. On it there is a note from
Josephine: "To the thieves: please stay away from my milk."
Open {K} It's locked.
Tinker {V} It's locked fast. We'll need a KEY.
A little further left, your Aunt will greet you and take you into her house.

Aunt Josephine [over film stills]
Hello? Oh dear, children! Please come in before
you're mauled by a bear!
Klaus
Bear? Are there bears in this area?
Aunt Josephine
Not that I know of. But that could just be part of
their plan! Please come up to the library. I am so
glad to finally have someone with whom to share my
passion for GRAMMAR.
[cuts to Library]
Welcome to your first GRAMMAR lesson, children.
Violet
Yes, what a... treat.
Klaus
We never got to have these at Count Olaf's. He
neglected us so!
Violet
Excuse me, Aunt Josephine, but why is one of the
SHELVES EMPTY?
Aunt Josephine [cut to shot of empty bookcase]
Oh, that goes back to when I lost my dear husband Ike.
Klaus
What happened to him? Was he burned?
Aunt Josephine
No, it happened on the shores of LAKE LACHRYMOSE. Oh,
how we used to love the lake! We knew every inch of
it.
But Ike was interested in a lot of things. He was
VORACIOUS FOR DETECTIVE work. But I CAN'T SAY what he
was investigating near the end.
Anyway, Ike went into the LAKE too soon after EATING.
The LACHRYMOSE LEECHES smelled the food, and that was
that for my sweet Ikey-wikey. STRANGE, since he KNEW
so much about the lake.
IKE'S COLLECTION OF BOOKS about Lake Lachrymose were
on that SHELF. I HID them away after he was gone.
They were too painful to look at.
[cut back to library floor]
Now, back to GRAMMAR. The BOOK I want to read from is
on that SHELF. But I can't quite reach it.
Violet [pans to book on overhead shelf]
I have an idea for a new INVENTION that SUNNY could
use to reach that shelf!
[pans back to by floor]
With some YARN, a PARASOL, and a WEATHERVANE, I could
build a PARASOL GLIDER, and SUNNY could just FLOAT
down to that shelf from a higher one!
So; that's what we want the Weathervane for:
INVENTION Parasol Glider
--------- --------------
Components Yarn
Parasol
Weathervane
Despite her long rambling talk just now, let's have another chat with our Aunt:
PERSON Aunt Josephine
------ --------------
Talk No, no. It's MAY we study grammar. And yes you may. BRING
that GRAMMAR BOOK on the SHELF ABOVE the DOORWAY.
Discuss A BEAR?! Where?! While the grammar in that last remark was
respectable, the content was awful.
Tease I wonder if my MILK KEY is safe? Burglars may sneak in the
WINDOW in the front of the house, and snatch it while I am not
vigilantly alert.
Time to go exploring... Klaus's Water Pump is probably the most use here, so
head left and use the Drum you find to jump to a ledge under a window. Jump
to the ledge over the window and then a long jump left to land on the raised
floor. There's a Spyglass here that just shows you the Grammar Book that
we're to collect.
Cross the raised floor and jump off the left-hand end to a slightly higher
ledge under some books, then up and right to a second ledge. Carry on up and
right to a third ledge (with a couple of Leeches and an Apple Core) and more-
or-less walk off the right-hand end to ledge just below.
Jump up and right to another ledge below a window (there are four photographs
around the empty bookshelf to the right if you want). Jump to the window's
higher ledge and then up and left to ledge below some books. Cross two
similar ledges to the left (below a large triangular window) and then on to

There's a rough Wooden Platform to the left of the window you emerge through;
jump onto this and have Violet jump and throw an Apple Core at the adjacent
switch -- the platform will take you across to a similar window leading to the
improbably named "This Room is Not Intended for Burglars". Since we're not a
burglar (even if we have been taking everything that's not nailed down), we'll
enter.

Drop to the floor and you'll find a note from Josephine:
OBJECT Note from Josephine
------ -------------------
Examine Shame on you, robbers, for sneaking in through the window.
Well, you'll never get past the SECURITY SYSTEM.
We'll soon see about that! There's a Horizontal Moving Platform just above
the small ledges; jump to this and you'll pass below a series of five Apple
Core Switches. As you pass back and forth, one switch at a time will activate
(the red handle will rise). You need to get Violet hit the active switch with
an Apple Core to release a Vertical Moving Platform to the left (the view pans
across when you're successful).
Use the new platform to reach a ledge with a Wooden Crate. Have Sunny bite
through this to reveal a Drum that can be used to jump to a ledge above; from
there jump to a Walkway below a series of windows. Walk right along here and
you'll find a cat on its back playing with a ball of wool:

Well, we have nothing we can use at the moment, so carry on to the right where
a pair of Sinking Platforms lead to the first Butterfly and a Book Page. For
the Butterfly, let the first platform sink a fair way then jump to the second
and up to catch the Butterfly to the right; reverse this (i.e. let the second
platform sink) to get the Book Page to the left.

Further right there's a door to the Bottom Hall (but it's locked) and the
Trigger Point for "Fudging the Future" (but we only have one page), so they're
not much use now.
BUT... we have the key to a milk box and a cat that won't let go of some yarn,
so... walk left and drop to the floor and go back through the window to

Head right along the ground to the Milk Delivery Box and use the key to open
it {+1%} , revealing the Milk:
OBJECT Milk {+1%}
------ -----------
Examine A fresh bottle of milk. I lament the slow extinction of the
milkman.
Before we take the milk back to the cat, we can do a bit more here first.
There's a Moving Platform that travels diagonally down from the left-hand
window, to the front door (which is locked), and then on up to the right-hand
window. Use it to get back on to the Moving Platform next to the right-hand
window.
Have Violet throw an Apple Core at the switch to start it moving: in the
middle, above the front door, there's another (inactive) switch with a couple
of bats flying close to it -- get rid of the bats and the switch will
activate. (If you don't get them all on the first pass right-to-left, hit the
switch by the left-hand window to try again).
Once activated, hitting the middle switch will cause the platform you're on to
rise vertically, pause, and descend again (it's a one-shot action; hit the
switch again to repeat). At the top of its travel, jump to collect the Lane's
first Butterfly and then jump to the ledge on the left.
Climb up a couple of ledges on the left, then head back right (below a
triangular window) and jump on to another Horizontal Moving Platform. Above
this is another inactive Apple Core Switch with some Bats around it. As
before, take out all the bats to activate the switch.
Hitting it will release yet another Moving Platform that will allow you to get
to the window that is causing glare to the weatherman (Victor); in passing,
you'll be able to catch the second Butterfly, and below the window is another

Head right and use the branches to clamber back up towards Victor:
PERSON Victor F. Daggerly
------ ------------------
Talk I'm still Victor F. Daggerly, and I'm still at your service.
Discuss According to my readings, HURRICANE HERMAN should be a fluffy
little kitten of a storm, hardly a hurricane at all. But now
that you've closed the window I can take a better look...
[checks instruments]
Oh dear! I was VERY wrong! Herman's going to be the BIGGEST
STORM this town has ever seen! I'm getting out of here.
At which point he leaves {+1%} , leaving you clear to pick up the Weathervane:
Sunny
Flootgar! (Another COMPONENT for my PARASOL GLIDER!)
COMPONENT Weathervane
--------- -----------
INVENTION Parasol Glider {+1%}
--------- ---------------------
|USE As Sunny, use the "A" button to jump as normal, but quickly
| release and press it again (keeping it pressed) to open the
| Parasol Glider. Sunny can now drift left and right for much
| longer distances than before. Usually, you'll want to briefly
| release the "A" button when you're at the highest point of the
| jump.
In certain places you will see a THERMAL LIFT -- a swirling
spiral of blue/white that looks a bit like water vapour from a
kettle. If Sunny drifts over these using the Parasol Glider,
she will gain extra height (you can "jiggle" between LEFT and
RIGHT to stay above the Thermal Lift for maximum height gain).
We can now put the Parasol Glider to use. Switch to Sunny and crawl toward
the left-hand edge of the ledge. Further left you should see a small ledge
with a swirling Thermal Lift just above it. Use Sunny's "glide" to reach the
small ledge.
|TIP This IS reachable, but only just -- start from a little bit back
| from the edge and hold LEFT; at the very last moment, press and
| hold "A" to jump. At the highest point, release "A" and
| immediately press and hold it again -- Sunny's Parasol Glider
| should activate and you will drift across.
If you don't "bump land" on the ledge, but drop through, keep
"A" pressed but switch to RIGHT -- you will drift back to the
branches below the Weathervane and can climb back up for another
attempt.
The ledge you land on has a Thermal Lift rising from it. To see this in
action, hold "A" to make Sunny jump and release-and-hold once you're high
enough. The "lift" should take over, and you will find yourself hovering in
mid-air.
|TIP Because you jumped straight up, it's quite easy to "hover" in
| this way (providing you don't nudge LEFT or RIGHT). However, if
| you "drift sideways" into a Thermal Lift, then it's much harder
| to get into a hover, because you tend to drift off to the right
| or left.
Once you've got the hang of this, hold LEFT to drift down and to the left
where you'll see an isolated platform with a Book Page on it (we saw this when
Victor told us about the glare).

Jump up and use the Glider to drift back to the right -- you should land on
the branches below the Weathervane, so clamber back up. Jump off the left-
hand end, as before, and hove above the platform -- this time drift off to the
right and you'll see another Book Page above a small branch.
...............................................................................
: Book "Tree-Hopping for Dunces" by Mssr. Lulu 1 2[3]4 - 6 :

where Victor stood, and collect what should be the final page of the book:
...............................................................................

...............................................................................
Jump and glide again to the right, to land on another small platform just
right of the main ledge (there was another Book Page here, but -- if you've
been following my directions -- we've collected it already). Have a quick
breather and Jump-and-Glide right to land on the final small ledge which
contains a Trigger Point (you will probably pass slightly above, and may have
to drift back left to land on it).
BOOK USE "Tree-Hopping for Dunces"

We cannot put it off much longer -- it's time to grab that book on grammar,
and have our lesson with Aunt Josephine! Make your way to the ledge below the

Aunt Josephine
We need to make a TRIP to TOWN now, children. There
is a ritual I perform BEFORE LEAVING the house, and I
was hoping you could HELP me.
[pans to cupboard]
Please OPEN up all of my THIRTEEN CUPBOARDS to make
sure there are no robbers, thieves, vandals, ninjas,
or pirates hidden inside of them.
[cuts to another cupboard]
One of my cupboards is LOCKED. I personally won't
touch the KEY, it's got such sharp teeth.
If you try to leave the room before having opened all the cupboards, Aunt
Josephine repeats her instructions about opening all thirteen cupboards first.
PERSON Aunt Josephine
------ --------------
Talk You haven't OPENED all of the CUPBOARDS yet. How do I know
there aren't pirates inside?
Discuss Well, if there are LEECHES in the CUPBOARDS then you should
thank me that I haven't fed you dinner yet, lest you become it.
The first thing you'll notice is that there are Powder Bombs raining down, so
number one priority is to take out the White-Faced Woman as quickly as
possible. Luckily, she's just down the steps to the right.
The next task is to deal with another Hook Handed Man -- he starts to
Josephine's left, but is probably on his way toward you by the time you've
dealt with the White-Faced Woman. Have Klaus jump over him and soak him from
behind as usual.
With those two pests out of the way, we can concentrate on the Cupboards. To
the right of where the White-Faced Woman was is a Butterfly (the first of
nine) and a top-up for Klaus's Water Pump.
Descend the stairs halfway and jump to the Cupboard to the left. Be careful
as you open it (with "R") -- three bats fly out! You should see a "13" appear
in the bottom-left of the screen and change to "12" -- only another twelve
Cupboards to open! Jump up and left to a small platform and then across to a
larger one.
Switch to Sunny as most of the next bit will need her Parasol Glider. Jump
and glide across more platforms to the left, all at the same height (i.e.
don't drop to any lower platforms you may see). The third platform you get to
has a key on it, so pick it up:
OBJECT Cupboard Key {+1%}
------ -------------------
Examine One wonders why Aunt Josephine has exactly thirteen cupboards.
Carry on jump-and-gliding to the left and you will come to another Cupboard to
open. On the second platform beyond this, you'll find another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "Fudging the Future" by Madame Lulu 1 - - - 5[6] :
...............................................................................
Just below this platform (the leftmost one) you will see another Butterfly.
Drop off the edge and reverse to catch it (you can get it without the Parasol,
but using it might help).
|NOTE If you miss the Butterfly, or any of the earlier platforms,
| you'll have to head right along the floor back to the stairs and
| start again; you cannot reach these upper platforms from the
| ground.
Head back right along the floor and you'll soon come to a door:
OBJECT Closet Door
------ -----------
Examine {K} The door to the hall closet seems normal, but there's
something missing...
Open {K} I can't open it, there's no doorknob!
I'm sure we'll find one somewhere... carry on to the right; we pass the front
door to Lachrymose Lane, but Aunt Josephine won't let us leave yet. Just past
your aunt is a dining table with two more Cupboards to open -- be careful, as
the first releases a couple of leeches. Have Sunny Jump-and-Glide to the
right to reach the last downstairs Cupboard (you should have eight left to
open).
Climb back up the stairs and head left; above a sideboard and chest of drawers
is the first upstairs Cupboard. Jump up and open it, revealing a Drum that
allows you to jump to a slightly different looking cupboard above-right:
OBJECT Kitchen Cupboard
------ ----------------
Examine {LS} This one has a note attached: DANGEROUS MATERIALS INSIDE,
DO NOT OPEN.
Open {K} Strange, this one's locked. Wonder what's inside THIS ONE
that scared Aunt Josephine into locking it? {+1%}
Use [Cupboard Key] Unlocks the Cupboard and reveals some Doorknobs.
OBJECT Doorknobs
------ ---------
Get {K} Doorknobs? She's afraid of doorknobs?!
Examine They don't look threatening, just knobby.
There's also a pair of Butterflies to catch, one either side of the Cupboard.
Have Sunny Jump-and-Glide across to the Cupboard on the left and open it.
|WARNING There's a whole Clew**of Leeches inside this Cupboard, so don't
| hang around once you've opened it. There's a Butterfly off to
| the left so Jump-and-Glide to catch it if you can.
|** NOTE I couldn't find the collective noun for leeches; the nearest I
| could find was a "Clew of Worms", so I'll use that.
|TIP Don't worry if you don't catch the Butterfly, we can use a
| Moving Platform later.
Head left past the door and down the stairs on the left. If you've not
already dealt with him, there's a Hook Handed Man roaming the floor -- get rid
of him now to save "dropping in" on him later!
Towards the left-hand side of the room is another Cupboard (the only one you
can reach from the floor). Jump up, open it, and pull the Lever that is
inside. Walk back to the right, and you'll see a Horizontal Moving Platform
going from the top of the stairs back to the left-hand side of the room. Jump
on to it, and off again at the next Cupboard.
|WARNING Switch to Sunny BEFORE opening this Cupboard; it releases a Clew
| of Leeches, and you'll need Sunny's Parasol Glider to get to the
| next Cupboard.
Open the Cupboard and Jump-and-Glide to the next Cupboard on the left. This,
when opened, will free three Butterflies for you to catch. Jump-and-glide to
the next (which, thankfully, is Leech-free) and again to the thirteenth and
final Cupboard. On opening it, Sunny gurgles:
Sunny
PiraGoob! (That's all the cupboards, let's go see
Josephine!)
|NOTE There's a Lever inside this Cupboard that releases a second
| Horizontal Moving Platform on the right-hand side of the room.
| Unless you missed the Butterfly to the left of the first
| Cupboard you found that released a whole Clew of Leeches, it's
| of little use.
There's a Butterfly just below the Cupboard; use Sunny's Parasol Glider to
catch it. Unless you missed the one mentioned above, this should be the ninth
and final one for the room, so head back to the right-hand side of the room,
top-up Klaus's Water Pump in passing and head down the stairs to rejoin Aunt
Josephine.
|NOTE If you did miss the earlier Butterfly, jump back on to the
| Cupboard with the Drum on it, and from there to the newly-
| released Moving Platform. This will pass underneath the
| Cupboard that's swarming with Leeches: have Klaus or Violet get
| rid of them, and then jump up and jump left for the Butterfly.
As you approach Aunt Josephine, she begins:
Aunt Josephine
Are you sure there were no BANDITS in the cupboards?
Klaus
Nothing but a few bears.
Aunt Josephine
Bears!
Violet
Klaus! I'm sorry Aunt Josephine, he meant to say
'nothing but a few hairs.'
Aunt Josephine
Oh dear, well they can be dangerous too if they get in
your eye. I hope you're all ok.
Sunny
Retinga. (You're the one who's not ok if you're
afraid of hair.)
Aunt Josephine
Well, if the cupboards are clear, could you children
GIVE me my GALOSHES. Puddles can be very dangerous.
I put them in the CLOSET. Of course, I've REMOVED all
of the DOORKNOBS and HIDDEN them away. Then I
deliberately forgot where they were so I wouldn't find
them and get scared.
Well, we know all about closets with missing doorknobs, and as we've found
some doorknobs, head left to the Closet Door and USE them to open it {+1%} .
OBJECT Galoshes {+1%}
------ ---------------
Examine A pair of heavy rubber galoshes. What left bite marks on the
toes? Alligators?
Take the Galoshes back to your Aunt {+1%} , and you're ready to leave the
house:
Aunt Josephine
I'll go on AHEAD of you. I'm afraid of walking
alongside children. They're so clumsy.
Meet me IN FRONT OF THE ANXIOUS CLOWN VEGETABLE STAND.
She leaves you alone in the Bottom Hall. To the left, just to the right of
the door into Lachrymose Lane, is a note from your Aunt:
OBJECT Note from Josephine
------ -------------------
Examine It is a note from Josephine: Gone into town. Please meet me in
front of the ANXIOUS CLOWN VEGETABLE STAND.
Unless you've got any Butterflies still to collect, leave the house, head
right along Lachrymose Lane and return to Cloudy Cliffs Court.

Cloudy Cliffs Court
...............................................................................
Head right past the end of the ship built into Captain Sam's shack and jump on
to the first branch you see. Jump up to the one above, and you should see
some rungs hanging down the side of the ship. As Sunny, if you Jump-and-Glide
from the right-hand (upper) end of this branch, you should be able to land on
the bottom rung. Climb up to the deck of the ship.
To the left, on top of a couple of funnels, are two piles of Photographs;
collect them if you wish. Next, head right, and you will come to the ship's
bowsprit: jump on to a branch above this and exit down the branch to Cloudy
Cliffs Court East.

As you descend the branch you entered by, you will see the first Butterfly of
the area. Carry on to the right, dropping to the ground when you can. Carry
on past the Fortune Teller's door and you'll see your Aunt between it and the
Realtor's Office:

Talk I just can't cross past that REALTOR'S OFFICE until I've had a
FORTUNE from the FORTUNE TELLER telling me it's safe.

So, it looks like it might be time to have our fortune told, so enter the

Fortune Teller Butterflies --
[B3FT] Quest +2%
Book Pages +2
...............................................................................
First, for some reason you start over to the left of the room, by a Water Pipe
-- the door is over to the right. Head right and you'll find the Fortune
Teller:
PERSON Fortune Teller
------ --------------
Tease I sense a mouth full of soap in your future.
Talk If you can find all of the MATCHING PAIRS, I will give you your
FORTUNE.
Once you've talked to her, a number of Moving Platforms above become active.
These allow access to sixteen ledges, arranged in a 4x4 grid, each one
containing a giant playing card and a Lever. When you pull the Lever, the
card turns over, revealing one of eight designs (each of which occurs twice
among the sixteen cards). To solve the Fortune Teller's challenge, you have
to find all eight pairs of cards.
The "challenge" part is that you can turn any card over first, but when you
turn the second over, if its design doesn't match the first, both cards are
turned back "face down". Since you are unlikely to turn pairs over to start
with, you'll have to remember where each design is. When you DO find a
matching pair, both cards are left with the design showing (and the Levers
disappear).
|TIP I don't know whether where each design is found is random or
| not, but below I'll show you the layout that I found. If your
| layout isn't the same as mine (or you want to solve it
| yourself), see the next tips.
| Obviously the easiest way of solving this is to write down which
| design is behind each card as you find them, although this could
| be thought of as "cheating" in the purest sense of the game
| (originally called Pelmanism, you were meant to rely on memory
| alone).
| Always turn over a new pair of cards each time; e.g. the bottom-
| left pair on the first go, the bottom-right pair on the second
| go, the pair above this on the third and so on. This way you
| get as much new information as possible each time.
| If you turn over a design you've seen before as the FIRST card
| of a pair, then for the second card of the pair try to go back
| and turn over the card where you saw the design before.
| If you turn over a design you've seen before as the SECOND card
| of a pair, then for your next go, try to find the matching card
| first (i.e. where you first saw the design), since you KNOW
| where the second one is and will remember its position more
| easily.
|NOTE There are two hazards to be aware of when finding pairs:
o Some of the platforms have Leeches/Spiders etc. on them;
watch out because they re-spawn quickly so they're a
constant danger.
o If, because of the above, you allow your Misery Meter to get
to its maximum, you will find that any pairs you've already
found will be turned back "face down", and you will have to
start from the beginning. One consolation is that the pairs
will still be in the same place.

You children are smart. But you should protect your
youth before it's gone. From the sad looks on your

Head down to the bottom of the room and you will see she has left you a
Fortune:

safe from realtors."
and another Book Page:
...............................................................................

...............................................................................
Before you take the Fortune to your Aunt, leave and re-enter the Fortune
Teller's house; if you talk to her again, she says:
Fortune Teller
So you've returned? Feel free to consult the cards
again.
Complete the pair-matching exercise a second time (the positions haven't
changed): you will be rewarded with a whole bunch of Photographs and the final
Page for "Up the Down Way":
...............................................................................
: Book "Up the Down Way" by Upton Dawn 1 2 3 4[5]6 :

You can carry on completing the puzzle as often as you like, but it looks like
you only get Photographs after this. There's nothing else to do here, so head
out and give the Fortune to your Aunt.

Actually, we won't give the Fortune to your Aunt straight away -- there are
a few things to do first. Jump to the platform outside the Realtor's Office
(where the Water Pipe is), on to the platform above the door, and then to the
top of the sign on the right.
Switch to Sunny and Jump-and-Glide to the right to land on top of the first of
the Video Machines we saw earlier. Jump to collect the area's second
Butterfly above it, then glide to the second Video Machine -- don't dawdle, as
there's a Leech; instead, Jump-and-Glide to the right to land on the Grocer's
barrow and complete "Fudging the Future":

Drop down from the Grocer's stand and have a chat:

CUCUMBERS.
Discuss Have you seen Captain Sam anywhere? He just disappeared...
Tease Your AUNTIE JOSEPHINE is a very fragile and sensitive woman.
What are you doing leaving her alone over THERE, especially in
this weather
[pans to show Aunt between Fortune Teller and Realtor's Office].
Despite the Grocer's urging we STILL won't deal with Aunt Josephine yet!
Carry on past her back to the Fortune Teller's house and jump to the ledge
past the door where there's another Trigger Point:
BOOK USE "Fudging the Future"

Book Text Some people are so afraid of the past they'll HIDE things from

Code UP, RIGHT, DOWN, LEFT, UP
Effect Activates Moving Platform giving Butterflies (x2) and
Photographs.
To the left, a Moving Platform will appear -- jump aboard and shortly it will
take you on a journey past a few Photographs to find the last two Butterflies
for the area.
|NOTE I'm going to take us on a bit of a detour now. If you remember
| when we explored "This Room is Not Intended for Burglars", there
| was another Trigger Point for "Fudging the Future", so since we
| have collected the whole book, let's use it now. The reasons?
o Mainly because we CAN (I like to get things as soon as
they're available);
o If we take the Fortune to Aunt Josephine first, we won't be
able to access the Trigger Point for quite a while (although
we WILL be able to do it later).
So, head all the way back to Aunt Josephine's house and enter through the
lower-left window.

Hello, Josephine, my little bilge pump. My, what

Where? Behind Captain Sham?

Count Olaf IS Captain Sham!
Aunt Josephine
Oh no, you're mistaken. It says "Sham" on his
business cards so it must be true. He's been Captain
Sham as long as I've known him, which is several days
at least.
Captain Sham
Count Olaf? Never heard of him. But what a
beautiful, beautiful name. It's like music. Speaking
of beautiful, I don't s'pose you'd like to have dinner
together tonight, Josephine?
Aunt Josephine
Why yes I would, Captain. You children meet us back

You won't be able to enter the house through the Front Door, nor through

window (that was originally causing the glare).

I think this is a code! Ike should be 'iCe', with a

a D there, and...
Aunt Josephine was trying to send us a message! She's
at CURDLED CAVE!
Sunny
Curdaba! (Curdled Cave! But how do we find it?
Josephine HID away all of her books about LACHRYMOSE
LAKE.)
Violet
The storm has blown lots of books off their shelves.
There are TORN BOOK PAGES everywhere. Maybe there's
still a BOOK around that can help us.
And you finally have control back! To the right, you can examine her note
again:
OBJECT Josephine's Note
------ ----------------
Examine It's a note from Josephine. Her spelling makes one think she
has a phobia of dictionaries.
If you try to go back through the window:
Sunny
Windoowagga! (There's a hurricane out there! I would
recommend we stay indoors).
and if you try to go to the Bottom Hall:
Violet
Hunfh! The roof must have collapsed and BLOCKED the
DOOR from the other side! We'll have to FIND ANOTHER
WAY.
Like the previous books we've been finding, there are six Book Pages dotted
around the room (there's also a counter in the lower-left corner of the screen
that shows the number of ages to be found). To get the first, drop down to
the Window Ledge below, and then to the bottom of a large bookcase.
When you collect the first page:
Klaus
"MY SECRET SELF: A Vital Fireman's Diary", by Ike
Anwhisle. Do you know what that means!? This is
IKE'S DIARY! If anyone knew how to get to CURDLED
CAVE, he would have.
Looks like there are SIX PAGES missing. Let's FIND
the others.
...............................................................................
: Book "A Vital Fireman's Diary" by Ike Anwhisle [1]- - - - - :
...............................................................................
Head across the two columns of Window Ledges to the right: on the raised floor
in the middle of the room is a pair of bookcases and the Trigger Point for the
new book.
|TIP If you're having problems finding any of the pages, head to the
| middle of the room where -- if you remember -- there is the
| Spyglass. Looking through this will show you one of the Book
| Pages still to be collected.
Head left and jump up the shelves to travel back across above the raised floor
to find another Book Page in a small broken window to the left of the large
empty bookcase (this is roughly the same route we used when we first visited
the Library):
...............................................................................
: Book "A Vital Fireman's Diary" by Ike Anwhisle 1 -[3]- - - :
...............................................................................
Jump above the broken window and then head left underneath the (broken)
triangular window. Off to the left of this window are two more small broken
windows; the second has a Thermal Lift above it. Jump to the upper ledge of
this and have Sunny use the Parasol Glider to gain enough height to land on
the Book Page to the right.
...............................................................................
: Book "A Vital Fireman's Diary" by Ike Anwhisle 1[2]3 - - - :
...............................................................................
Jump to the upper ledge of this window and jump again to a long platform.
Head left and Jump-and-Glide across an Apple Core-filled gap to get another
page:
...............................................................................
: Book "A Vital Fireman's Diary" by Ike Anwhisle 1 2 3 - -[6] :
...............................................................................
Head back right, the way you came and carry on across at the same level
(you'll be passing above the triangular window). From the second bookcase you
come to (that has a Red Spider on it) Jump-and-Glide all the way down to the
right -- you should meet another Thermal Lift in one small window that allows
you to get to a second window above and right with yet another Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "A Vital Fireman's Diary" by Ike Anwhisle 1 2 3 -[5]6 :
...............................................................................
The last page is in the same place as the Grammar Book was earlier. From the
ledge above, you can reach this by dropping off the right-hand side and
gliding a little further to the right.
|TIP If you miss the platform, then use the same method you used to
| get the Grammar Book: Jump-and-Glide from the right-hand edge
| of the triangular window.

Violet
Not back that way! We're so close to finding Aunt
Josephine.
Instead, head across to the left-hand side of the room and have Violet jump up
and climb the ladder there. At the top, switch to Sunny and have her Jump-and-
Glide across to the right -- a Thermal Lift will allow her to reach a platform
(partly hidden behind all the junk hung across the room) where there's another
Book Page:
...............................................................................
: Book "The Grapple Speed Record" by Tres Vito 1 2 3 -[5]6 :
...............................................................................
Jump-and-Glide back to the left, pick up another Thermal Lift and land on a
small platform underneath a Water Pipe. Switch to Klaus to take out the Clew
of Leeches to the left. Jump to the platform where they were, and take out a
second Clew on the right -- as you do, the scene will pan across to the top-
right of the room to show six Butterflies coalescing into a rough group.
Jump to the where this second Clew was and switch back to Sunny. Jump-and-
Glide across to the left and make use of a Thermal Lift to catch the first
Butterfly of the room. Drift back to the platform, cross to its right-hand
side and Jump-and-Glide across to the right, landing on a platform below a
window leading to Lachrymose Lake.
Before going through, jump straight up and use the Thermal Lift above the
window: if you just keep UP pressed, you should rise among the Butterflies
and, after a short while, catch them all (you shouldn't need to drift left or
right; they'll come to you!)
If you tot-up your Butterfly count, you should find that you now have over 200
Butterflies, and the next level of Sketches, Stills and Upgrades will have
become available:
UPGRADE Apple-Chucker

You emerge on the Lake in a boat heading east (to the right).
|NOTE Despite what the laws of physics may say, you CAN walk on the
| water here, BUT your Misery Meter will be rising constantly as
| you do, so it's not recommended!
Unlike the rest of the game, it IS possible to get stranded here
-- if you leave the boat or make the wrong jump/glide you can
land in the water with no practical way of getting back on
course (you can rarely walk far enough before your Misery Meter
maxes out).
Be prepared to restart this section a few times!
Jump on to the second ledge above the boat, and from there to the landing
stage for a Lighthouse. Climb the steps, avoiding the Leeches, and from the
platform at the top, have Sunny Jump-and-Glide down to the right -- you should
land on the steps of a second Lighthouse. Climb these and at the top you will
find another Trigger Point:

Head up the slope away from the sea and you will see the Curdled Caves ahead:
these are formed from lots of separate areas, linked by small openings (that
you can only pass through as Sunny).
Entrance
--------
Halfway up the slope is a Sign:
OBJECT For Sale Sign
------ -------------
Examine {K} A "For Sale" sign? That means realtors will be coming
here. I bet I could really put a SCARE into AUNT JOSEPHINE with
this SIGN.
Push/Pull {K} It's stuck fast.
Tinker {K} If that sign can survive the tides, the elements, and a
hurricane, I don't think I'll be able to break it!
Take {V} It's stuck too deep into the ground. We'd need a TOOL to
get it out.
As we can't do anything with it yet, pass by and dive into the first hole (A).
Cave 1
------
This brings you out above a Water Pipe. Refil, drop down, take out the
Leeches and head through the hole at the bottom (B).
Cave 2
------
You come out below your Aunt:
PERSON Aunt Josephine
------ --------------
Talk Leave? I'm not going anywhere. You know, in the old days,
miners used this cave. Ike and I once found a pick, a SHOVEL, a
miner's hat, and a diamond, all in one afternoon.
Discuss I'm too afraid. There are bears, and leeches, and REALTORS out
there.
She doesn't want to budge! Collect the couple of Butterflies here (one in the
top-left corner) and head through the first opening above her (C).
Cave 3
------
Drop down on to the ledge below and head through the opening (D).
Cave 4
------
Use Sunny's ROLL to take out a couple of leeches, then head up the slope and
through the opening (F).
Cave 5
------
There are the last two Butterflies, the missing Book Page of "The Persnickety
Platform" here:
...............................................................................

...............................................................................
Return the way you came (via F and D) to Cave 4 and then drop to the floor and
go through the new opening (E).
Cave 6
------
Cross to the right-hand end and duck through the opening (G).
Cave 7
------
Use Sunny's ROLL attack to take out a trio of Red Spiders here, then carry on
to the end to find the Shovel:
OBJECT Shovel
------ ------
Examine A rusty old shovel. This must have been left by miners.
This will do to get that sign, so return to the entrance (G, E, C, B, A).
Entrance
--------
USE the Shovel on the For Sale Sign, collecting the latter:
OBJECT For Sale Sign {+1%}
------ --------------------
Examine A "For Sale" sign? That means realtors will be coming here. I
bet I could really put a scare into Aunt Josephine with this
sign.
Return to your Aunt (A, B)...
Cave 2
------
...and give her the sign: {+1%}
Aunt Josephine
Realtors?! Coming here?! Oh my... We had better
leave.
The screen fades, and you reappear in the boat on Lachrymose Lake heading back
west (to the left). However, we haven't cleared out the Lake area yet, so
quickly jump to the right -- with a glide, Sunny should make it back to the
sloping shore if you're quick enough.
Crawl back up and into the Curdled Cave. Return to Cave 2 where Aunt
Josephine was standing (A, B) and head through the TOP exit that leads to
Lachrymose Lake.

Lachrymose Lake Butterflies +8
[B3LK] Quest --
Book Pages +1
...............................................................................
You emerge in a cave set in the cliff walls, where a stream of six Butterflies
flies in and out. Just jump slightly to collect them all as you move left to
the exit. Don't worry if you miss a couple, as they'll fly back in again
shortly.
As Sunny, Jump-and-Glide from the entrance down and to the left. You should
land on a platform with the final page of "The Grapple Speed Record":
...............................................................................
: Book "The Grapple Speed Record" by Tres Vito 1 2 3[4]5 6 :
...............................................................................
Jump-and-glide to the left again; as soon as the Lighthouse comes into view,
double-back and drift to the right; you should see another Butterfly (the
Lake's eighth) above a ledge. You'll have to drift back-and-forth a little to
land on it.
Jump-and-glide (again) to the left and you should land on a platform with a
Water Pipe, below the main stairs of the Lighthouse. Jump to the stairs and
climb to the top of the Lighthouse...
You'll never guess what you need to do from the top of the Lighthouse...
that's right, Jump-and-Glide to the left! As before, as soon as the next
Lighthouse comes into view double-back and drift down-and-right and you should
see the last Butterfly above a ledge.
|WARNING This ledge normally has a Clew of Leeches on it, so be quick
| switching to Klaus to get rid of them.
How you do the next bit depends on where Josephine is with the boat -- if you
can see it, jump into the boat as it drifts back to the left. If not, jump to
a platform down and to the left of where the Butterfly was, then Jump-and-
Glide as far to the left as possible as Sunny... you may have to walk on water
for a little bit, but as you approach the left-hand side of the Lake, the view
should pan across to show Count Olaf:
Count Olaf
Hello, my dear little ones! You look like you could
use some assistance.
Klaus
You're going to need some assistance when we get back
to town! We'll tell everything and you'll go to jail!
Count Olaf
Who'll believe two urchins and a monkey, confused by
their tragic ordeal, and without any evidence?
[fades; shows children aboard Olaf's boat]
Violet
They'll believe Aunt Josephine!
Count Olaf
Only if they find her...
Your stunt at the window proved you hadn't been a
trustworthy person. On the other hand I could show
mercy...
[pans to Aunt Josephine in boat]
Aunt Josephine
Haven't, not hadn't.
Count Olaf
What?
Aunt Josephine
That's bad grammar. You should have said "you haven't
been a very trustworthy person".
[pans back to Olaf's boat]
Count Olaf
Thank you for correcting me. Bye, now.
[pans back to Aunt Josephine's boat, disappearing
east; pans left to show Mr. Poe halfway up a third
Lighthouse]
Mr. Poe
Children! Thank goodness you're safe. Come ashore at
once!

Cloudy Cliffs Court
...............................................................................
[original platform on Cloudy Cliffs Court]
Count Olaf
When I heard the children were in danger, I had to
come [to] their rescue. Even if I'm not fit to be
their guardian...
Mr. Poe
Oh, but you are, Count Olaf. I fear I have gravely
misjudged you...
Violet
No you haven't! He's even worse than you thought!
Count Olaf
Pipe down, I'm not finished yet. Even the MASSIVE
INHERITANCE would be a constant reminder of my
heartache...
Mr. Poe
Oh, you WOULDN'T inherit the Baudelaire FORTUNE. That
only applies to blood relatives and MARRIED couples.
Count Olaf
MARRIED COUPLES, you say... hmm, I believe I have a
new ending for my PLAY. I shall celebrate the
children's return with the debut. The entire town
shall be invited!
Mr. Poe
Lovely! I always enjoy an evening at the theatre.
Sunny
Bokkoo! (This isn't theatre, it's farce!)
Mr. Poe
Listen to her gurgle with delight! Now I know I've
made the right choice.
|STORY NOTE The game isn't particularly good at telling the full story of
| what happens here... if you've not read the books nor seen the
| film before (as I hadn't when I first played), you're not
| totally sure what's happened. After I finished the game, I have
| managed to see the film, so can fill in some more details:
Count Olaf realises that the only way to get his hands on the
Baudelaire fortune is by marriage -- to Violet! The only way he
can achieve this is by (a) dangling Sunny in a basket from the
top of the Tower, to force Violet to comply; and (b) to disguise
the ceremony within a play, so Mr. Poe can't object -- his
secret is casting Justice Strauss in the play, so that the
marriage is legal!

...............................................................................
Klaus
I've got to get Sunny out of that tower... then Count
Olaf will have no hold on Violet.
If Violet were here she'd figure out an invention to
get Sunny out of the tower. Think... what would
Violet do... what would Violet do...
[pans across three objects lying on the floor]
I've got it! I can unroll that SPIRAL carpet, attach
those SHOWER CURTAIN RINGS, and a PARASOL SKELETON,
and make a GRAPPLING HOOK!
INVENTION Grappling Hook
--------- --------------
Components Spiral Carpet
Shower Curtain Rings
Parasol Skeleton
And you once more have control, but of course without the help of Violet or
Sunny.
Head right (you don't have much option!) and collect the three parts you saw
during the cut-scene along the way:
COMPONENT Parasol Skeleton {+1%}
--------- -----------------------
COMPONENT Shower Curtain Rings {+1%}
--------- ---------------------------
COMPONENT Spiral Carpet {+1%}
--------- --------------------
When you pick up the third, you are taken to the Invention screen to put them
all together:
INVENTION Grappling Hook
--------- --------------
Use Allows Klaus to throw out a Grappling Hook to cling to the
bottom of ledges, platforms, stairs etc. He can then swing and
jump to get to new areas.
|NOTE After jumping ("A"), press "A" again to send out your Grappling
| Hook. If the Hook catches the underside of a ledge, floor,
| stairs etc., AND you keep "A" pressed, Klaus will swing back and
| forth.
You can increase his swing by alternating LEFT and RIGHT on the
D-Pad (all while keeping "A" pressed).
UP and DOWN on the D-Pad will shorten or lengthen the swing --
if the swing is too long, you may hit a neighbouring platform
when you release the Hook and bump into it instead of landing on
it. If the swing is too short, you may not reach where you want
to land.
When you release "A", Klaus will sail off in the direction he's
swinging, much as though he had jumped. For best results,
release the button at the left or right extent of the swing.
|TIP Normally, the Hook will be thrown in the direction of the jump
| (i.e. jumping left and pressing "A" will fire the Hook
| diagonally towards the top-left). Pressing UP as you press "A"
| will throw the Hook straight up.
|TIP You can "hop" along a ceiling by repeated use of the Grappling
| Hook: release "A" at one side of the swing and press (and hold)
| it again almost straight away -- you should catch hold a little
| further along. For best results, don't let the rope get too
| long, otherwise it won't be able to reach the next hook-point
| (press UP occasionally before you release to shorten the swing).
|NOTE It will take some practice at first, but I found getting the
| hang of how the Grappling Hook works wasn't too bad (and I'm not
| the world's best platformer by any means).
However, it's much harder to be able to do every jump and swing
consistently well! There are many hook-jumps needed to get up
the Tower, and mistiming one can drop you back quite a way:
expect to do a lot of backtracking!
(Also, there are lots of Bats flying around in awkward places,
so it's all too easy to do the hook-jumps correctly, but have to
start over from the beginning because your Misery Meter is full!)
Luckily, for this journey climbing the tower, there's no time
limit -- you can take as long as you need, so long as you get
there!
As you climb the steps on the right-hand side of the Tower, Lemony Snicket
pops up with basic instructions on the Grappling Hook:
Lemony Snicket
Nice Grappling Hook you've got. PRESS and HOLD the A
BUTTON in the air to use the grappling HOOK.
|TIP Since the Tower can prove quite hard, now is probably a very
| good time to save your game!
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
WARNING
I would doubly-recommend saving after you've built the
Grappling Hook since the Tower seems to be particularly
subject to GLITCHES which can FREEZE YOUR GAME and force
you to switch your GameBoy off and on again.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Your first test of your Grappling Hook prowess happens immediately: there's a
wooden platform overhead, and another -- out of normal jumping range -- back
to the left. This latter is the one we want to get to.
|TIP Start from part-way up the stairs. Hold UP (so Klaus is looking
| straight up) and tap "A" to make him jump. Press and hold "A"
| again, and he should catch the bottom of the platform above.
Keeping "A" pressed all the while, experiment with the D-Pad:
shorten and lengthen the rope with UP and DOWN; control the
amount of swing by pressing LEFT and RIGHT.
When you're happy, set the length so that you don't clip your
feet on the platform to the left, get a good swing going, and
release "A" at the furthest-left point of the swing -- you
should land nicely on the Platform.
|NOTE If you spend too long playing around, you may find a Hook Handed
| Man has ambled to the edge of the platform you're trying to jump
| to -- this isn't a good position to meet him!
I would suggest having a "play around" to get the hang of the
Grappling Hook and, if the Hook Handed Man appears, reloading
(assuming you saved as I suggested above).
Head left and you'll soon meet the Hook Handed Man mentioned above. Take him
out in the normal way -- have Klaus jump over him when he ducks and squirt him
from behind.
|NOTE Although it's easy to do, don't be tempted to just jump over the
| Hook Handed Man and carry on -- if you don't get rid of him,
| there's a large wall ahead that will block your path. It's of
| the type that Sunny could ROLL through, but as Sunny isn't
| available, you're going to have to deal with the Hook Handed Man!
|GLITCH It IS possible to get past the wall ahead without taking out the
| Hook Handed Man! It may take several attempts, but it's just
| possible to get the Grappling Hook to attach to the ceiling
| beyond the wall, which will allow you to swing "through" the
| wall.
This could be particularly useful if Klaus runs out of water, as
there's no supply this side of the wall.
Many thanks to "Yacob147" on GameFAQs for finding the above and
letting me describe it here.
To the left there's a gap in the floor where you'll have to Grapple-Hook onto
the platform above to get across. Climb the steps at the left-hand side of
the tower and start heading right. There are three gaps where you'll need to
Grapple-Hook across the ceiling before getting to the right-hand side (try to
watch out for Bats as you go).
|TIP You can get across this stretch by one continuous Grapple-Hook
| run across the ceiling -- just by briefly releasing and re-
| pressing "A" as you make your way across.
Climb part-way up the steps on the right then jump and Grapple-Hook to the
platform above -- swing to land on the floor to the left and use a Moving
Platform so that you can jump out on the left-hand side to where two Hanging
Spiders are waiting.
Across to the left the floor drops away: the destination platform is across to
the left, and the ceiling above allows you to Grapple-Hook across.
|NOTE There's an optional bit here: if you drop down instead of
| Grappling across, you can pick up a full Heart Locket (although
| unless you're very close to filling your meter, it might be best
| to do the next little bit first).
At the bottom, there's an inactive Moving Platform. Walk left
and jump up straight and Grapple-Hook the ceiling to swing left
out of the pit.
Carry on to the left and drop into a narrow pit -- the Full
Heart Locket is at the bottom. Use the small (fixed) platform
to jump back out, then jump and Grapple-Hook the ceiling to
swing over left next to a Lever.
Pull the Lever to activate the Moving Platform back at the right-
hand side where you came in -- head back and use this to escape.
Grapple-Hook across the gap as above and continue your journey.
Carry on to the left, up some stairs, and jump up a small wall to get to a
Water Pipe, where you may want to recharge Klaus's pump before Grapple-Hooking
along the ceiling back to the right.
|WARNING As you climb the steps, several Bats are released; more are
| released when you get to the Water Pipe -- be ready for these if
| you don't want your Misery Meter to rise too far.
If you didn't collect it before, you might want to go back for
the Full Heart Locket described above.
Grapple-Hook across the ceiling until the ceiling lowers slightly -- drop at
this point and you will be in a small pit with another Hook Handed Man. He's
no more difficult than usual, but the confined space makes the battle slightly
harder than normal. As before, you can't just ignore him, as there's a wall
ahead that only disappears once he's defeated.
|TIP Because of the constricted space, he will often crowd you
| against one of the pit's walls. You will probably need to
| perfect jumping over him while he's standing.
|NOTE Unlike the wall from first Hook Handed Man, it DOESN'T look
| likely that you can "glitch" your way past this one, so you WILL
| have to deal with him. If anyone HAS got past, please let me
| know.
To get out of the pit, you will need to jump straight up and throw the
Grappling Hook at the ceiling and then swing and jump to the right (you need
to do this slightly back from the right-hand wall of the pit, as the ceiling
rises at this point).
To the right of the pit a couple of large steps lead down to an area with a
few Spiders running around the floor. You don't NEED to go down here, but it
may be wise to get rid of the Spiders now, as you may be dropping in
unexpectedly in a moment, and you don't want to land on them! (There's also
another Water Pipe at the right-hand end.)
After you've cleared the area below (or if you don't want to bother), start
from the highest level on the left and Grapple-Hook your way across the
ceiling to land on a series of stacked platforms sticking out from the right-
hand wall, decreasing in size as they go up.
|TIP The ceiling platform stops a little way from the first of these
| platforms, so you'll have to swing to make the last bit. It's
| also easy for your Grappling Hook to try to "hook" beyond the
| end of the ceiling. If this happens, you'll drop to the area
| below and will have to try again -- try varying the length of
| the rope as you swing across the ceiling.
Make your way to the upper (smallest) platform then swing across to the left.
Jump up the large steps and on the left there's a third Hook Handed Man to get
rid of. Watch out for several Bats in this area that make things more
Miserable.
|CHEAT? Unlike the first two Hook Handed Men, this one does NOT cause a
| wall to disappear when you beat him. Instead, it activates a
| Vertical Moving Platform. However, it's relatively easy to get
| to where the Platform leads by Grapple Hooking.
Drop down into a well to the left of the Hook Handed Man to collect a probably
much-needed Full Heart Locket. Climb back out and Grapple-Jump across the gap
to the left and a Moving Platform will take up to the next level.
|NOTE If you bypassed the Hook Handed Man, the Platform won't be
| moving. Instead, head up the ledge to the left and Grapple Hook
| back across the ceiling.
Grapple-jump across several gaps to the right to land on a ledge with a small
(non-moving) platform on it that lets you set off back left again!
|WARNING Watch out for the Red Spiders around here -- they can be
| annoying.
Jump to another small platform -- this one is a Sinking one -- so quickly jump
up to the ledge on the left. Grapple-Swing across to the left and perform a
normal (non-Grapple) jump off the ledge you land on.
You should land near the Trigger Point for "The Grapple Speed Record" (or by
some steps that lead left to it). Beyond this is the door out of the Tower.
For the "Grapple Speed Record", you start at the bottom of the tower and have
to Grapple your way to the top in 125 seconds or less! You may wish to offer
up a silent prayer of thanks to any Deities you may believe in that the Hook
Handed Men are not present during the speed-run -- although there may still be
a few Bats dotted around.
|WARNING You have to decide whether you want to attempt the Grapple Speed
| Record now or later. Here are my "pros & cons":
o If you go through the door from the Tower, you enter the
final phase of the game. You won't be able to return to the
Tower until the main part of the game is over.
o If you attempt the Grapple Speed Record and take too long,
nothing bad happens, you just have to finish climbing back
up before you can either try again or go through the door.
o If your Misery Meter reaches maximum while attempting the
Grapple Speed Record, you WILL "die" as normal and have to
restart the WHOLE Tower from the bottom, INCLUDING having to
face the Hook Handed Men again!
o Even if you save at the top, because the last door you
passed through was the one at the bottom of the Tower, if
you restart you will ALSO start from the bottom and have to
face the Hook Handed Men again!
o The reward you get from completing Grapple Speed Record
(other than pure satisfaction) WON'T help you in the final
stages.
On balance, you may want to leave the Grapple Speed Record until after you
complete the main game. Unless, like me, you're aiming to get as much as it
is possible to collect at every point in the game. If you've had a hard time
doing the Tower the first time, and haven't been going for the maximum number
of Butterflies, leaving it for later is probably best.
|TIP The 125 seconds you are given is not TOO difficult a target to
| meet, providing you remember the basic route and don't make too
| many mistakes in getting to the top. Despite this, it will
| probably take a few attempts before you succeed.
The reward when you get back to the top within the allowed time is quite
substantial -- all seven Butterflies for the Tower and a large collection of
Photographs.
|NOTE If you have found all Quest Points (that I know of), you will
| have 98% going into the final encounter, although it is possible
| to have as few as 96%. Please see the note at the end of the
| "Quest Points" {QPTS} section at the end of this document for
| more discussion of this.

Ocular Tower Book 3
[B3EP] Epilogue
...............................................................................
Klaus [over film stills]
The Ocular Device is ready to operate!
I have to aim at the marriage license to burn it.
I'd better be watchful. Persons of the hench
persuasion may be on their way here right now to stop
me! The Ocular Device could slow them down.
|STORY NOTE Again, the game doesn't seem to do a very good job of explaining
| what's happening if you haven't seen the film or (presumably)
| read the books. I guess the excuse is that most players would
| have read or seen one or the other, or probably both! If you
| neither seen the film nor read the books, a little clarification:
Klaus has reached the top of the Tower, and brought Sunny to
safety. However, he was too late to stop the ceremony, and the
Marriage License has already been signed!
His (and his two sisters') only hope is to destroy the Marriage
License. The problem is, Olaf has the License down on the
stage, while Klaus is stuck at the top of the Tower!
At the top of the Tower, Klaus finds the OCULAR DEVICE -- this
focuses sunlight through a large lens to produce an intense beam
of heat and light that can be focused at will -- THIS was what
Count Olaf used on the children's parent's house to burn it to
the ground and make them orphans in the first place (as well as
using it for several other unexplained fires).
In a satisfyingly apt twist of fate for Count Olaf, Klaus must
now make use of the Ocular Device to burn the Marriage License
that Olaf is brandishing gloatingly on stage.
At the same time, he must also use it delay the "persons of the
hench persuasion" that are making their way across the stage to
reach him in the Tower.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ocular Tower Book 3
[B3BB] Boss Battle
Quest +2
...............................................................................
You regain control, overlooking the stage with control of a set of "gun
sights" -- the Ocular Device of which Klaus spoke. You control it using the D-
Pad to manoeuvre the sight around the screen to the desired point and press
"B" to fire. You can either TAP "B" for a short shot, or hold it down for
longer bursts of heat.
Unfortunately, the sky is rather overcast, so the number of shots, or the
length of the bursts is limited. The amount of "power" available is shown by
eight lights arranged above the "eye" in the upper-middle of the screen. Over
time, when the Ocular Device isn't being used, these will light up, starting
with the left and working right. As you draw upon the Device's power, they
begin to go back out again.
In the top-left corner of the screen are three "henchman" faces -- these
represent your "lives" in this final mini-game. If all three of these are
"crossed off" (see below) you will lose and have to start again.
The top-right corner shows the state of the Marriage License -- it starts of
whole, but as you manage to burn arts of it away, it will shrink. You will
have defeated Count Olaf when you reduce it to nothing.
On stage, you will see Count Olaf proudly strutting around, pumped up with his
own importance; periodically he will unfurl the Marriage License to gloat over
the success of his plan -- your main task is to wipe the gloat from his face
by destroying the Marriage License.
|TIP It will take at least four good bursts from the Ocular Device to
| fully burn the License away -- I think "burst mode" is best for
| this -- hold "B" down whenever you get the Ocular Device's sight
| over the License. You can, of course, only burn the License
| while Olaf is brandishing it.
However, things aren't quite that simple... At Olaf's urging, groups of two or
three Henchmen will cross the three levels of the stage -- left-to-right on
the middle walkway (where Olaf is); through the door at the end to the level
above, then right-to-left on the upper level. If they make it to the door on
the left-hand side of the upper-level, one of the three faces in the top-left
corner of the screen will be crossed out. If all three are crossed out, you
will have to start again.
|TIP Concentrate mainly on Count Olaf -- follow him as he strides
| back and forth along the middle walkway, ready to hit the
| Marriage License with a good burst from the Ocular Device
| whenever you can.
When you see some Henchmen approaching, switch focus to them.
Use "single shots" (i.e. just tap "B"); aiming at the leading
edge (or even very slightly in front) of the Henchmen. Each
shot will make them stumble and pause briefly. Around three or
four shots should be sufficient to fell them.
Always try to go for the front Henchman each time, to delay
their overall progress across the stage as much as possible.
If a Henchman (or men) make it to the right-hand end of the
middle level and go through the door to the upper level, move
the sight DIAGONALLY up and left as he/they will be almost
halfway across by the time you get there. If you just go
straight up, you're liable to not have enough time.
I didn't bother focusing on the lower level of the stage, since
time spent looking for Henchmen there means missed opportunities
to burn the Marriage License.
When you eventually burn away the whole of the Marriage License: {+2%}
Count Olaf [over film stills]
You think you've won? You think it's over? It's not.
This world is a far more frightening place than you
could ever imagine and you're just little children,
alone in it. And now... I must make my escape.
Mr. Poe
Don't worry children, I'm sure the authorities will
catch Count Olaf soon. You must be feeling hopeful
about your next guardian, so perhaps we should be on
our way.
Lemony Snicket
Though what my investigation has uncovered so far has
been bleak, I fear it does not describe the worst of
what will occur to the Baudelaire children.
It saddens me to predict that their lives will
continue unhappily, and will be filled with danger,
adventure, terrible guardians, villainous scoundrels
and worse.
You are then prompted to overwrite the current save slot... do this, and you
will be able to load the game after the credits and continue to search
throughout all three areas for missing Book Pages and Butterflies.
|NOTE With the possible exception of one Butterfly (one of the ones
| during the long drop from the Dressing Room Crawlspace), I'm
| _fairly_ confident this is the most Butterflies and Book Pages
| that can have been collected before playing in "free" mode. If
| anybody can confirm that you CAN get an extra Butterfly in the
| long drop, or verifiably do better, I'd love to hear from you!

Assuming you saved after burning the Marriage License, you can play again by
loading from the Save Slot. You will then be able to move freely among all
areas of the game, to catch any Butterflies that you had either missed before,
or weren't accessible before (e.g. because you didn't have Sunny's Parasol
Glider). A few changes or additions have been made to allow you to pass
between the three "Books " of the main game:
o You once again start on the Briny Beach, though now the right-hand end
leads to Doldrum Detour (via an enforced stop at Ocean's Edge to play the
skipping game).
o You can return along Doldrum Drive into Count Olaf's house; the door at
the top of the Stage now leads to Uncle Montgomery's Front Garden.
o The right-hand side of the Forest Clearing, now leads to outside Aunt
Josephine's House in Lachrymose Lane.
o The sign near the Grocer at Cloudy Cliffs Court East now leads to
Lachrymose Lake.
o The window in Ike's Secret Room that triggered the trip on Lachrymose Lake
now leads to a high window on the outside of the house.
The sections that follow describe my trip back through the three Books to
collect that which couldn't be reached before. Generally, the descriptions
are briefer, and where I pass through several rooms without collecting
anything, they have been lumped together in one section.
If you've not been collecting all Butterflies, keep checking the Inventory
Screen to see in which rooms you are missing some. Refer to entries for that
room in the main part of the Walkthrough in addition to the notes here.
Where additional Butterflies can be caught (i.e. ones that weren't available
the first time through) this is shown as in the main part of the Walkthrough
(e.g. "+2").
For Book Pages, if you've been diligent, you should only have one page to
complete your entire Library (page 1 of "Chimbley Sweep", to be found in the
Downstairs Hall of Olaf's house). You also get to use the three unused books
-- the above, plus "Up the Down Way" and "The Persnickety Platform" (twice).
If you're missing any other pages, see section "Books: Page Locations and USE"
{BPLU} where I list the locations of all pages.
I ignore Quest Points in this section, since you always start this "after
game" on 100%, no matter what score you were on when you went into the final
encounter with Olaf. Please see the note at the end of the "Quest Points"
{QPTS} section at the end of this document for more discussion of this.
Rooms where "something happens" (i.e., we're not just passing through) are
labelled in a similar manner to the main walkthrough, although where before I
had "B1xx" (for "Book 1 xxx"), I now have "A1xx" etc. (for "After-game Book 1
xxx").

If you wish to retry the Grappling-Hook (or -- perhaps wisely -- you didn't
attempt it the first time), the door to the Tower is now open.
However, to get the Courtyard's missing Butterfly, head across to the far-
right and climb to the top of the tree next to the side of the house. Jump to
the branch on the left that rises steeply -- at it's peak, have Sunny Jump-and-
Glide to the right and you should land on the roof of the house.
There's a bit of branch above the roof that you can JUST Jump-and-Glide to
from the top of the roof; once you do, hop up a series of small branches to
get to the missing Butterfly.
|NOTE You can Jump-and-Glide from the very top branch to land on a
| much longer branch extending to the left of the tree. You'll
| meet a Hook Handed Man here, but he shouldn't be too hard to get
| rid off -- a couple of shots should do it.
|TIP He didn't seem too keen to duck and throw hooks at you -- at
| various points along the branch, you can use natural height
| advantages to help jump over him and drench him from behind.
|NOTE This branch feels like it's here for a reason, but although you
| can Jump-and-Glide into the Rooftop area to the left, it doesn't
| seem to get you anywhere you can't get normally. Anybody know
| better?
One way or another, head left back to the Rooftop.

Make your way back to the top of the Chimney (where you fixed the Pulley
System -- see entry in main Walkthrough if you need help) -- have Sunny Jump-
and-Glide to the left. Using two sets of Thermal Lifts to help her on her way
you should land on another rooftop. There are four Butterflies (of the six
remaining to be caught) above the roof and around the aerial. The fifth is
above another aerial over on the left-hand side of the roof, and the sixth is
accessible from the two small Moving Platforms.
When you have all the Butterflies, pull the Lever at the top of the roof and
jump aboard the Moving Platform that appears -- it will give you a ride back
to the top of the Chimney. Make your way the rest of the way back to the
Courtyard.

Head left, climb back up the long vertical shaft and Jump-and-Glide into the
long drop -- the Parasol will give you time to reach the three Butterflies
that you couldn't get to the first time through.
|TIP Head over to the right for the first "missing" Butterfly; there
| should be none in the second screen; in the third screen head
| initially to the left and then across to the right.
|TIP Keep the "A" button pressed as you transition from one screen to
| the other -- at the top of each section it will take a fraction
| of a second before Sunny opens her Parasol. If you give in to
| the temptation to re-press the button, you'll spend the rest of
| the screen dropping normally (i.e., like a brick).
|NOTE Now I know where all three Butterflies that I originally missed
| are, I'm pretty confident that the first two could NOT have been
| caught without the Parasol Glider, but I suspect that the third
| one (on the right in the third screen) COULD have been caught.
| If anyone can confirm this (or has managed to catch either of
| the first two), please could you let me know.
|NOTE Given the hit-and-miss nature of this area the first time
| through, this is the room that even a dedicated Butterfly
| Collector is most likely to have missed Butterflies in -- now
| that you have the Parasol Glider, finishing it shouldn't be a
| problem.

Upstairs Hall, jump and go left for the door to the stage. Finally cross the
Stage's three levels (right-to-left; left-to-right; right-to-left). The only
complication is a Powder-Bomb-throwing White-Faced Woman on the highest level.
The door at the left of the upper level now leads to Uncle Montgomery's Front

this way later.
|NOTE In tidying up this Walkthrough, I've just realised there's
| probably a quicker route than the one I describe below. I've
| not tested this, but it should work!
If you want to try it, collect the four missing Butterflies from
the Front Garden before going back in the house (they're on the
window ledge above; see the section below for full details).
Instead, head slightly right then jump left to the steps that take you up to
the door back to Montgomery Halls Downstairs. Cross the hall to the right,
back to the middle where you originally started Book 2 and the entrance to the
Reptile Room. Re-enter the Reptile Room and head right to the Snake Statue

you need help getting to the top.
Head right as before to the long drop back down and switch to Sunny -- her

missing Butterfly is! Let's enter.

You emerge inside a small space -- a little judicious jumping will reveal that
you're below, and to the left of, the "hatch" you saw earlier in the right-
hand side of Captain Sam's Yard; to the right is another small space
containing a Lever that's directly below the hatch. I guess that's what we
need to aim for.
Drop down the gap in the floor -- there's a passage right at the bottom, but
you cannot get into the area with the Lever. Instead, head left and more-or-
less follow the passage along the only way you can go. You'll pass through a
larger cavern, where you'll find the 250th -- and final -- Butterfly. Just
beyond this you disappear behind some rock -- carry on going left until you
can go no further (the screen will probably "shake") then head back right; you
should drop into the cavern below and be able to continue your journey. At
the end of the tunnel heading right you will find a Moving Platform that will
take you up to where the Lever is.
|TIP For nearly all this journey, you can only travel as Sunny. As
| there are numerous beasties along the way, you will need to
| perfect her "roll" attack -- this involves watching the meter in
| the top-right corner and timing successive rolls only when it
| has returned to green.
Pull the lever when you get to it, and the Moving Platform below will rise,
taking you through the "trap doors" out in to the open-air part of Captain
Sam's Yard. You are left sitting on the platform with another Trigger Point
for "The Persnickety Platform".

Activating this Trigger Point will launch the platform on a long ride,
supposedly above Lachrymose Lake, although you never actually see any of it.
You will be fairly swamped with Bats, and a couple of Slews of Leeches, so
keep Klaus's Water Pump at the ready! Luckily, they seem to yield an above
average of Heart Lockets.
|TIP A slightly "cheating" way of handling this is to press SELECT to
| bring up the Character Selection Screen. While this is shown,
| movement on Platforms continues (and you can even collect some
| of the Apple Cores along the way) but you won't increase your
| Misery Meter.
If you do this, you will end your journey surrounded by Bats --
highlight Klaus, press "A" to clear the screen, then jump to the
left to begin taking them out.
Once you have cleared all the beasties, you will notice a couple of Flies
buzzing around; to the right is a Large Snake guarding a second, smaller,
Platform. Use up any remaining water in Klaus's Pump and press "L" to suck up
one of the Flies. Approach the Snake and release the Fly -- spend a few
moments replenishing Klaus's water supply before passing the Snake and jumping
on to the Platform.
This will take you on a second journey where Large Birds are the main
attackers. It ends next to a cluster of Heart Lockets and Apple Cores where
the Platform waits for a few seconds. You then begin a long plummet that
drops you back on to the Trap Door of Captain Sam's Yard.
|NOTE I was slightly disappointed by the Lake Tour -- I was hoping for
| something more "dramatic" to "celebrate" getting the last
| Butterfly.
I guess the problem is that while the Tour naturally follows the
last Butterfly if you got all possible Butterflies during the
main part of the game, if you missed a lot earlier, and are
wandering around in "free mode" looking for what you've missed,
you could easily take the tour before having got the last
Butterfly.
|NOTE You can ride the Lake Tour as often as you like, but you have to
| return to the hole to the right of the boat, re-enter the
| tunnels and pull the Lever each time.
|NOTE If you save the game having got all 250 Butterflies, the next
| time you view the New Game/Load Game/Credits screen, you will
| see streams of Butterflies fly past while you wait.

Here I collect together various facts and figures about the game.
The first section lists the main object and puzzle dependencies... i.e. which
sub-tasks must you complete before being able to solve a given task. The
layout isn't great, but it will have to do for now.
The second section lists where all Book Pages are found, where you use them,
and other pertinent notes (e.g. you need to do XXX before getting a page).
The third section lists all the Quest Points you can get in the game, with
brief where-and-how notes.
The fourth section lists Butterfly distribution, both for the main game and
the "after game".
()===========================================================================()
|| ||
|| Object and Puzzle Dependencies ||
|| [OAPD] ||
|| ||
()===========================================================================()
This section tries to list all the main dependencies in the game; it tries to
answer questions such as "to do THIS, what do I have to have done first?".
The layout could probably be improved; at present, for each section of the
game it lists the principal tasks at the highest (leftmost) level, with
dependent tasks (i.e. things that have to be done before the principal task
can be completed) indented below. These in turn can have subsidiary
conditions.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
WARNING
It's very hard to present this information in a way that
won't contain "spoilers" for the other parts of the game
when you're trying to find help with one specific part.
The biggest danger is accidentally seeing a reference to
some act or object that you've not yet encountered.
Overall, the order puzzles are presented is roughly as you
meet them when playing normally, and as the game is fairly
linear, there's not a lot of room to deviate from this
order.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
|TIP To minimise the chance of accidental spoilers, I would suggest
| using one of two methods:
o Have someone else look for you! If that person knows what
items you've got and what the current puzzle to be solved
is, they can see what else you need and/or what you can do
with what you've got. With a little bit of thought, they
can guide you without passing on too much other information.
o Reduce the height of the Browser or Text Editor window
you're using to view this Walkthrough, ideally so you can
only see one or two lines at a time. Search for keywords
relevant to where you're stuck and read a few lines above or
below to get help. This isn't as good as getting someone
else to read, but can be better than reading full-screen.
If anybody has suggestions for a better way of presenting this
information, I'd love to hear from you.

Notes
-----
o The Quest Point for opening the Wardrobe in the Dressing Room is optional.
o There is a Quest Point each for using the Paint Scraper to open the
windows from the Orphan's Room and the Kitchen into the Courtyard. As far
as I can tell, you should only need to open one of the windows to complete
the game.
o Other than the Wardrobe and the Windows, it appears that all Quest Points
must be earned to complete the game.
o Although some variation is possible, because the game is fairly linear
(solving one puzzle usually leads directly to another and so on), the
order you earn Quest Points is mostly fixed.
o You only get six Quest Points for collecting the seven pieces of Chopped
Wood in the Courtyard (you don't get one for the first).

o I think there is only ONE Butterfly (marked **) from the Dressing Room

DURING the main game. If any one can confirm this, or provide evidence of
other Butterflies that could have been got earlier, I'd be most grateful.
If true, this would make the total for the main part of the game 227.

Acknowledgements
...............................................................................
The following have provided, or been the source of, information used in
producing this Walkthrough. My thanks to:
o "Namma_of_1" confirmed that there are some bits you cannot get on the
first pass and that you can roam freely later in the game.
o "Kschwanert" helped to confirm that the "Handsome Man" game doesn't have a
point.
o Again for hints for getting past the handbag-throwing White-Faced Woman.
o "Yacob147" for finding the glitch in the Tower if you run out of water.
Thanks also to CJayC and all behind GameFAQs for making it the place it is.
Finally, thanks to Nintendo for the GBA-SP, and Activision and all concerned
for making "Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'".

Interesting Things
...............................................................................
A collection of any weird and wonderful things I've encountered while writing
the Walkthrough -- some might be bugs or glitches in the game; others could
just be something I think others might find interesting.
o In the Chimney, Violet "thought I saw one [a window] in the Kitchen" even
if you've not been in the Kitchen yet.
o From the Downstairs Hall, the refusal to go to Doldrum Drive or the
Actor's Wing refers to Olaf's note, even if you've not read it.
o The refusal to leave the Kitchen implores you to "listen to your sister
and FIND PIECES for your INVENTION." even before Violet's thought of
inventing something.
o After you open the Sun-Drenched Library Window to remove the glare, Victor
then says "But now that you've CLOSED the window".
o After you leave the house with Aunt Josephine, if you then return to the
Library and try to leave, you still get a message about needing the
Grammar Book first.
o After Aunt Josephine meets Captain Sham, if you return to where the
Weathervane was, it and Victor have returned, and he again thinks the
hurricane will only be a "kitten".
If anybody else has spotted anything that they think should be added, please
