Skyrim 5 journey to the center of the earth. Passage of the journey to the center of the earth. Actions with periscope

“Go down into the crater of Ekul Snaefells, which the shadow of Skartaris caresses before the Kalends of July, brave wanderer, and you will reach the center of the Earth. I did this - Arne Saknussem."

Jules Verne, "Journey to the Center of the Earth"

As expected in a quest, the game consists of exploring the territory, talking with everyone you meet and solving problems. It must be said that the game contains an excellent collection of classic puzzles, tinkering with which is an undoubted pleasure for fans of such entertainment. And in general, the riddles in the game are cute and enjoyable. With one single exception. In my opinion, only the most stubborn questomaniac and Michael Schumacher, who is accustomed to moving along a closed trajectory, are able to get a thrill from winding circles and kilometers around a large pit in the Valley of the Spirits under the howling of the wind, which is unpleasant to the ear (have you tried to meditate to the noise of the engine of a stalling “Muscovite”? - so now learn!).

The game is linear. Wandering around, as in “Myst,” doing what the left leg wants at the moment, is not allowed here. Moreover. Often you cannot leave the next location until you complete all the actions prescribed by the plot. Quest items are sometimes activated immediately, and sometimes only after they are needed. For example, you will not be able to use the elevator in the Askiam Press Center until you have made an appointment with Master Figaro. You can click on the lift with the mouse all the way - it won’t move a single pixel. Unpleasant, but logical.

Operation is extremely simple. One click with the left mouse button - go to the specified point, double click - run. Right button - open luggage. Esc - exit to the game menu. The pointer usually looks like an arrow. If it turns into a hand, it means there is an object nearby that can be manipulated. In the form of a head - start a conversation. In the form of footprints, a transition to the next screen is possible.

The last noteworthy detail is the laptop that Ariana carries with her. After the first use, its screen will appear framed by vignettes in the lower left corner of the screen. If it starts flickering blue, it means it's time to look at the computer: look through an encyclopedia, send a fax, do some calculations. In principle, the contraption is convenient: without it, our girl’s luggage would turn into a waste paper collection point. And so, by clicking on the next book or selected piece of paper, you send them to the computer, where a summary of what you read will be conveniently located in the appropriate section. Please note that computer processing of information is mandatory. For example, you will not be able to use the submarine password Adam wrote down for you on a piece of paper until you admire the same piece of paper on your computer screen.

So, watch the introductory video about the helicopter flight to Iceland and start the game.

At the volcano

After the helicopter lands, Ariana walks away from the car with her camera to look for better shots. At this time, rockfall begins. Huge boulders fall straight onto the red bug of the helicopter, the tail breaks off, the left blade crunches in half! Right blade - crunch, in half!

Stunned by the incident, Ariana says something like: “I hope the pilot is alive...”. True, this is where her participation in the fate of the victim ends. Let the pilot dig himself out from under the rubble or wait for rescuers. And why do we even need a pilot if the helicopter breaks down? Better to do something more interesting. For example, explore the surrounding area.

Go to the helicopter. Lift up propeller blade, lying to the left of the car. With the blade at the ready, approach the closed door of the helicopter cockpit. Open it. As a result, a whole list of potentially useful items will become available. Pick up from the floor knife, rope, bag. Open the luggage screen and unpack your bag. From it will appear: screwdriver, gloves, lighter And empty flask. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the wall hanging first aid kit. Unpack it and you will find: bandage, adhesive plaster, aspirin And bottle with a disinfectant solution. Use a knife to cut off those hanging from the distribution panel. wires. Finally, take the one lying on the floor laptop. Pay attention to the area on the screen to the left of the luggage framed by vignettes. As soon as you use the laptop for the first time, it will move there. And it will continue to serve Ariana as an encyclopedia and means of communication.

Click on the arrow at the top left of the screen to get out of the helicopter. Now you can use your laptop to call rescuers. To make communication possible, you need to go to the seashore. Go left from the helicopter. When Ariana comes out to the ocean, she will say that you need to send a distress signal. This is a sign that you are standing where you need to be. Open your laptop, select your email and press the “SOS” line that appears. At the same time, you will find out that you are in Iceland at the foot of the Snaffels volcano. The same one through which the heroes of Jules Verne penetrated deep into the Earth. Click on the envelope with the green arrow to send the message.

After sending the fax, return to the helicopter and go right. A crack is visible in the side of the volcano, but the passage is blocked by a large boulder. Use the helicopter blade again to roll away the stone. Try going into the cave. But it's dark there. Light the lighter and give it to Ariana. After this, not knowing that curiosity killed the cat, Ariana will enter the cave.

Dear girl! If you feel the urge to portray a ray of light in a dark kingdom, then you need to look at your feet, and not somewhere in space, otherwise... oops, we're late. A long, fading scream is heard and Ariana falls into an unknown place...

First camp

Ariana wakes up on a pretty sandy beach. It is light, fluffy clouds are scattered across the blue sky. And opposite stands an incomprehensible guy in a black hat and an old-fashioned frock coat. Moreover, it seems that the worthy gentleman is not at all surprised by the appearance of Ariana straight from the sky. It’s as if girls packed in jeans and hung with cameras are falling from the sky every day!

Let's start a conversation. The gentleman's name is Adam Covelier. He calmly explains to Ariana that yes, she is under the volcano. The place where she fell is called the First Camp. And nearby there is the only city in this place - Askiam. Adam will offer his help in exchange for a polished gem for his cane. A suitable crystal can be found in a mine nearby. Adam promises to meet you on the way to the city and decorously leaves.

We begin to look around. Raise the one buried in the sand bone next to where Ariana is standing. Then walk a few steps in front, to the crossing at the stream and fill water empty flask. Now go to the bottom border of the screen, the camera will change angle, and it will become clear that Ariana is standing by the mountain next to the entrance to the mine. To the left of the entrance on the sand lies a large sink- pick it up. Come inside. On the right on the square box lies cutter- take it, it will come in handy! A little further on at the bottom of the box something glitters. We pick it up and find out that it is locks with strange symbols on them. There is nothing else to do in the mine for now - return to the beach.

Cross the boards to the other side of the stream. Look at the gravestones under the dead tree. Use the laptop encyclopedia to compare the dates of death of buried physicist Ivan Platonov with the date in the encyclopedia. It seems that after his “tragic death” he lived under the volcano for several more years. The second stone is covered with dust, and it is impossible to see what is written on it. Look around. At the bottom of the screen, among the debris on the sand, find piece of cloth. In the lower left corner of the location lies piece of petrified wood- take it. As you know, even a machine gun is useful on the farm. Especially in an unfamiliar place. Return to the gravestone. Soak a rag you found in the cleaning liquid and wipe off the lettering. It turns out that this is the grave of another scientist - Armand Latifier. And again, looking at the laptop, we learn that the date of death on the stone differs from the official one by several years.

Having finished your historical research, go to the waterfall. A small cave will open, with druses of crystals flickering on the walls. Go deeper. There is a ladder against the wall, and above it a single crystal. This is what you need to pick out. Go up the stairs. Then put on gloves (this will leave one glove in your luggage). Take a chisel and combine it in your luggage with a piece of petrified wood. And then use objects to break the crystal from the wall.

The polishing device is located right there in the cave. Secure the crystal in a vice. As you know, polishing requires an abrasive. Exit the cave and take a handful of sand to the right of the entrance. Return to the device and pour sand into the flasks at the bottom of the device. After this, you need to press the bellows several times, and when the crystal changes shape, the work will be completed. Take it polished crystal and return to the old mine on the other side of the stream.

You won't be able to go far in the mine. Taught by bitter experience, Ariana will flatly refuse to go into the dark tunnels. So we need light. At the left wall there is a power plant with a huge wheel and a switchboard. We approach, examine and discover broken wires. What to do is clear: put on gloves again, splice the wires using pieces of wiring from a helicopter and wrap them with adhesive tape instead of electrical tape. Once finished, the wheel will spin and light will appear in the shaft. Now you can continue your journey.

In the next room, a surprise awaits Ariana: the path is blocked by a massive gate with a puzzle lock. You need to place the symbols in the cells in the correct order, then the door will open. The key to solving the problem is given in the inscription located above the door.

The Occident is the opposite of the Orient. Our story begins as the sun rises. Nature and technology go their separate ways.

First the ones whence we come. Then the one that feeds us. Followed by the one we mine. Comes the time of transformation. And of famed energy. Finally those who guide us.

The translation goes something like this:

West is opposite to East. Our story began like the sun rising. Nature and technology take different paths.

The first is where we came from. Then what nourishes us. Then - what we develop. It's time for change. Next comes energy. And finally, what guides us.

Now look at the door. Cells for symbols are located in a circle, and the symbols themselves are grouped in the center. Signs are divided into two equal groups, related to nature and related to technology. The order of placement is suggested by the inscription. From left to bottom counterclockwise you have: a mother with a baby, an ear of corn, a mountain, a spinning wheel, lightning, masks, the sea, ears of grain with a sickle, gears, a chemical flask, a bird in flight and a lighthouse.

Once you place the seals around the circle in the correct order, the door will open.

Mushroom forest

This location is the dream of a mushroom picker armed with a chainsaw. The landscape is filled to the horizon with mushrooms as tall as a three-story building. A path winds between the gigantic plate and tubular ones. Follow it. On the next screen, behind the exit from the cave, next to the path, there are growing mushrooms usual size. Use a knife to cut them off. Continue along the path until you reach a spiral staircase twisting around a mushroom stem. Climb onto the large mushroom where the outpost of the sea bay is located. Talk to the samurai-looking gentleman on duty there named Lenkoff. His friend is sick, and while he is waiting for help, it would be nice to find some painkiller. Share an aspirin tablet. Receive a fax from Eva. Examine the outpost. Then go down the mushroom and continue on your way.

To the right of the bridge, a stump from one of the giant mushrooms sticks out of the ground. Take a knife and cut piece of mushroom. Step onto the bridge. As soon as Ariana is on the catwalk, the computer screen will begin to flicker. This was the answer from the rescuers. The brave guys send warm greetings and promise to get to Iceland in just two days. Hm. It would be faster for Ariana herself to try to find the missing pilot.

Beyond the bridge the mushroom forest ends. The sandy shore is strewn with boulders and bones. And on the right you can see the hut where our old friend Adam stands. Come over and start a conversation. You can ask in more detail about the strange world where Ariana ended up. According to Adam, air under pressure releases energy that produces light and heat. That's why it's light all around. Give Adam the crystal. As a return favor, he will offer you to inspect his hut.

We go into the house. Hanging on the pole to the right amulet- we take it. A little further there is a desk. They lie on it pieces of wood And green book. There is a massive bowl nearby. Ariana immediately thinks that something needs to be put there. Place mushrooms cut along the path. The bowl will release a cloud of smoke and a vision will appear: a helicopter, a rockfall, and a staggering, but quite alive pilot... This means that he is alive, and you can try to find him. Now open your laptop and discover how a group of cutting-edge scientists followed the trail... and populated this world.

There is another table against the opposite wall. There are three on it jars of colored dyes- take them. There is a chest against the wall. It's locked. And it opens with the help of the same amulet that Ariana took from the pillar. The amulet will turn into a key if you solve the puzzle. Combine an amulet and pieces of wood in your luggage. A depressed figure is visible on the amulet, and it needs to be filled with pieces of wood. The arrow below allows you to rotate the selected piece. The solution is quite simple: place two large triangles instead of the legs of the figure, and place the square on top. The placement of the remaining puzzle pieces will then become obvious. You can open the chest. Inside lies a bust of the pioneer of the underworld and several scrolls. Take them and new information will appear in Ariana's laptop. Read it.

Now you can return to the observation post to Lenkoff and give the chips from the stump to build a tire. The patient will immediately feel better, but the question of his evacuation will remain up in the air: the signaling device has become unusable, which means it will not be possible to call a riding pterodactyl to transport the victim. Can you guess who will have to repair the signal horn?

First, you need to replace the worn-out shell at the end of the horn. First, use a lighter to singe the bone you picked up on the beach. Then use this bone to drill holes in the shell. Then put the exotic part on the end of the horn.

Secondly, you need bellows to blow air. You can get them in a cave with crystals. You'll have to run back and forth through a dozen screens. When the repairs are complete, Lenkoff will tell you the password to access Askiam. And as a reward for your diligence, you will be shown a video with a live pterodactyl. When the reptile flies away, go to the table in the center of the empty tower. You will find black on it gunpowder bag, map the underworld and machete. Curled up on a stool nearby thin vine. Now you can go down from the tower.

Go past Adam's house forward to the second bridge. Continue along it until it stops, climb down the ladder and go left until you hit the thicket. As you know, all good adventurers use a machete to cut their way through the jungle. Having dealt with the lush flora, pick it up from the ground large leaf. Walk through the bushes... and Ariana will find herself face-to-face (or rather, face-to-face) with a dining T-Rex! A trolley looms in the distance behind the reptile, but trying to get to it risks turning into a dessert for the evil creature. We need to somehow scare away the tyrannosaurus. Go to the stump with an empty trunk lying next to it. Together, the entire structure resembles a cannon. So let's try to use it in this capacity. Place a leaf on the stump. Put dyes on it, pour gunpowder. Tie the resulting projectile with a vine and set it on fire with a lighter. Bang! The path is clear.

Walk past the Tyrannosaurus's prey forward and a little to the right until you see a small dinosaur under a tree with ripe fruits, which is trying to get to them. Pick one fetus and go to the trolley. The dinosaur will run after you.

A “squirrel wheel” type structure is installed in the center of the trolley. There are no squirrels nearby, but there is a dinosaur of the appropriate size. Open the wheel, put the fruit inside, and the clunker will roll briskly towards Askiam at a dinosaur-like pace.

Askiam

On the way to the city, Ariana will receive another fax on her laptop, describing the disagreements between the leading world powers, threatening almost another world war. It’s very strange - when she went to Iceland, peace and harmony reigned on Earth.

At the locked city gates you will be greeted by a gatekeeper named Osin. Having heard from Lenkoff about the appearance of Timur and his team in the person of Ariana in the underworld, he will immediately puzzle her with a new request. His camera was broken. The thing is brand new, manufactured in 1860, and for some reason it stopped working. It's a shame. Maybe Ariana can fix it? He will give you the key to the tower, in the basement of which there is a darkroom.

Go to the tower on the left. Use the key to open the door. We won’t be repairing the camera now—we don’t have spare parts yet—but we need to do something here. Once inside, start by reading the manual hanging on the wall above the desk. Now you can try to take a photo. Take it from the table photo paper. Turn on the red lamp using the toggle switch on the wall. Place the paper under the lamp. Pull the ring on the lamp and a vague image will appear on the paper. Pull the ring again. Take the paper. Place it in the tub closest to you. Then into the ditch against the wall. And finally, into the bath on the far right. After that you can look at the photo. It shows Ariana cheerfully cutting her way through the jungle. View from the back. That means someone was watching you all the way.

Leave the tower and enter the city. First impression: people here really respect fences. And nearby the main fence builder is visible - the Chief Engineer of the city of Askiam, an old man named Wallace. A conversation with him leads Ariana into a state of complete confusion: Wallace claims that not three days have passed since her fall into the underworld, as Ariana herself believes, but two whole years. In addition, he believes that the World War has been raging on the surface of the Earth for a year and a half, and is concerned that no one living outside will ever know about the existence of Askiam. He doesn't want Ariana to leave town. While her case is being considered by the council, she can explore the sights and learn about the city's history in the Archives. In parting he gives her pass to the archive and ticket to the monorail.

After Wallace leaves, go explore the city. First read the advertisements hanging on the pole. From them you will learn about diamond mines. Young people work there, and the diamonds are used to pay mercenaries who ensure the safety of Askiam from invasion from the surface.

Behind the arch with the sign “No Dinosaurs Allowed” is the market square. Come in. Talk to the airship pilot Gustav. He is glad to have a new person in town and is ready to show Ariana around from the air, but to do this he needs to prepare the airship for flight. He asks her to bring her a helium tank from the Academy and help fix the leak in the pipeline. Well, let's keep that in mind.

Go to the market stalls. In the middle there is a kiosk without a seller with a lot of stuff on it. Take piece of skin dinosaur and jar of fat. Get out of the market. Go further to the intersection. On one of the streets you will see a gentleman riding out a dinosaur - you can come up and stroke the good-natured reptile’s face. On the same street, next to his store, stands the dealer of antiquities and animals, Hercules. Talk to him. He will tell you that due to disturbing news from the surface of the Earth, he cannot leave the city, and his supply of animals has been depleted. He needs fresh eggs, which he can take from Adam. In addition, Hercules will offer to look around his store. Take advantage of the invitation and go inside. Go to the cash register. There are clocks on the shelves above the cash register. Check it against the computer clock and it turns out that Askiam's clock advances 3/4 of a second per minute. This explains the discrepancy in dates. Take it from the counter recipe book and clean punch cards. There is a discreet button on the countertop next to the cash register - press it. She unlocks a secret room located behind the aquarium. Go there. Adam is waiting for you there. It's unclear how he got here, but he needs Ariana's help again. He needs to purchase the psychotropic potion Hanagra Sil from the pharmacy, and the suspicious pharmacist refuses to serve him. Promise to help. Additionally, Adam will warn you not to trust Wallace. All these reports of military operations on the surface of the planet seem extremely suspicious to him, but he has no direct evidence of deception.

After talking with Adam, examine the shelves. Next to the unfinished stuffed dinosaur, Ariana will find igloo. Let's take it. Then you can look at the three-dimensional holographic projector standing next door. Funny little thing. Finally, there is a note on the desk to remind the pharmacist that she needs to replenish her supply of bicardamom.

Leave the store and go straight down the street (away from the dinosaur). This will take you to the pharmacy. Talk to the grimzy Armanda sitting there. She will require a prescription for the medication. The recipe can be made by piercing a punched card in the right places with a needle. Use the book borrowed from the cash register to see what the recipe for Hanagra Seal looks like. However, even after seeing the recipe, Armanda will not give you the medicine. She will say that these are all Adam's tricks. After refusing it, a new option will appear in the dialog menu - bicardamom. Remind the pharmacist that she needs to go pick up this medicine. As soon as she leaves, stick your recipe into the slot at the counter. Then twist the handle to turn the medicine wheel. And take it away bottle of potion for Adam. Return to Hercules' shop and Adam. He will take the medicine and give it to Ariana air route map, with which you can get to the land of giants.

Now go to the city gates, and before reaching it a little, turn left to the press center. Look at the poster in the building's lobby. Pay attention to the stopped clock hanging on the wall. There is a microphone on the table next to the clock. Use it (for some reason I had to move to the other end of the room to do this). Talk to Master Figaro about the broken clock. He will offer to meet at his workplace.

Go further into the corridor. The right door will lead you to a large hall where the projectionist Enrique sits. Click on the posters on the walls to get new information. Then talk to Enrique. He will tell you that he brings news tapes with a caravan from the diamond mines. And will give Ariana one of the news to watch films And key from the cinema hall. After saying goodbye to Enrique, look at the telegram lying not far from him on the counter - it’s very interesting!

There is an elevator in the center of the room. If you have made an appointment with Figaro, the elevator will take you to the control panel. Figaro will tell Ariana about the problems with the city's energy supply. Energy stopped coming from the collectors because the coordinates changed. It is clear that the master is not able to deal with the problem without the participation of a photojournalist. He will tell you that he left a piece of paper with calculation formulas somewhere nearby, but they are terribly complicated! Take the elevator back to the hall where Enrique is sitting. There is a page on the desk with a black device. That's what you need. Use the laptop to calculate the new coordinates: 6283, 1667, 5483, 2092. Go to Figaro. To the right of the master on the remote control there is a plate with four rows of numbers and buttons that change them. Set the correct coordinates and inform the master about it. The flow of energy will be restored, and the master will allow Ariana to recharge her laptop. The last thing Figaro will ask you to do is send a confirmation telegram. To do this, just take it and give it to Enrique.

Now let's start watching the news. Leave the room and unlock the door of the cinema hall opposite with the key. Put the film in the projector and watch the war chronicle. Very strange. The filming appears to date back to the First World War. To find out if your doubts are justified, use your laptop. By the way, if you have not yet helped Figaro establish a power supply and have not recharged your laptop, you will not be able to analyze the films. The computer will confirm that Ariana is right: the footage dates back to the 20s of the last century. What's going on in this city? Someone in Asia is chronically falsifying information, instilling fear in people!

It's time to visit the Academy. Exit the press center. To the left of it is a monorail station. Use it to quickly get to the Academy, and at the same time watch a beautiful video. The Academy is a pompous imperial-style building with many columns and a long staircase. Looks like the University of Barokstadt from "Syberia", only mammoths are missing. So to speak, a typical temple of science. Go into the round lobby. First turn left, where between the niches with busts of pundits there is a door to the laboratory. The laboratory of what science it is remains unclear. Something is ticking, pendulums and thermometers hang on the walls, and in the center near the table Armande is busy making her bicardamom. Talk to her. She will say that she has finished the work, but is in no hurry to leave. Leave it and cross the lobby to reach the archives. There you will meet with the rector of the Academy and Wallace. They won’t say anything important, but when they leave, you can search the room. Read the documents on the table, take the one lying right there film strip. Then pull the handle of the nearby machine with many buttons, and it will give you information about what books Wallace has been reading lately. After this, return to the laboratory. Armande has left, and we can manage here. Grab it from the table in the center of the room screwdriver And iron plate. Maybe helium balloon can you find it here? There is one! It is located at the bottom of the chamber, standing in the far corner. Take a screwdriver and twist it. After which you can leave the temple of science.

Head back to the press room to see what kind of tape Ariana found at the Academy. Let's look: first there are familiar military footage, and then a figure appears on the screen, like two peas in a pod like Ariana herself (view from the back), who destroys the energy distribution shield with her pick! They clearly want to set Ariana up.

Something needs to be done. First, you should try to get out of the city. Go out the gate to Osin. Go to the darkroom in the tower again. Now you have everything you need to fix his camera, which is standing here on a three-legged tripod. First, use a screwdriver to adjust the shape of the metal plate in the luggage, then insert the plate into the device and lubricate it with grease. The camera is fixed. The delighted Osin allows Ariana to leave the city for a while.

We roll backwards on the jalopy at dinosaur speed. We go past the carcass of the iguanodon, through the jungle, along the bridge... The goal is Adam's hut, where we saw the eggs that Hercules needed. When you get there, take it eggs and go to the city again. Give the trophy you brought to the merchant, and he will advise Ariana to seek help from the giants - a humanoid friendly race that lives in wild places. In addition, it turns out that the airship pilot Gustav is a friend of Hercules, and Ariana can safely ask him for help. Finally, you can go to Adam’s room behind the trading floor. It will complement the information about the giants.

After that, go to the market square, where Gustav is in a broken airship waiting by the sea for weather. Talk to him, tell him that you have a map. Then click on the base of the airship gondola. A close-up of the cockpit will appear. Wrap a piece of dinosaur skin around the leaky pipe, place the map on the dashboard, and attach a helium tank to the pipes above the dashboard. Preparations for the flight have been completed. The airship takes off into the sky and a beautiful video begins about a flight over a lost world, where herds of dinosaurs roam across the endless plains...

SECOND PAGE

Village of Giants

The airship lands on a field near the giants' settlement. Say goodbye to Gustav. Look around: in the distance you can see a round gateway in the mountainside. Behind it there is a pier from where a submarine cruises to the diamond mines. Getting on the ship is the goal of all your further actions. But it’s too early for you to come here yet. Turn the other way.

A little further, a giant shepherd named Kano Pie looks after his large herd of mastodons. He is very friendly, talk to him. He will tell you that some of his fellow tribesmen are working in diamond mines to do their part in preventing war. You can get to the mines by submarine, which sails across the sea. After finishing the conversation, select one of the tufts of wool, lying on the ground in front of the shepherd.

Continue further and you will come across a force barrier surrounding the village of giants. There is no passage. Return to the shepherd. He will explain that the barrier is a form of protection, and in order to pass, Ariana must leave all sharp objects outside. In addition, he will give Ariana tobacco. Approach the barrier and place a knife on the ground next to the passage. After this, a gate will appear and Ariana will be able to enter the village.

There is a gazebo in the center of the village. Go there to meet the foremother of the clan, Aora. Learn about the Valley of Spirits and the breach in the force field. After leaving the gazebo, look around so you know where to look for someone: on the right, a gardener is working above a flower plantation; on the left, a fisherman is sitting near a stone hut. First, approach the gardener. He will tell you that the bamboo fence next to the plantation surrounds the Arena, where the giants demonstrate their magical skills. Ask the gardener how you can get to the Arena. Then go to the fisherman. The fisherman, Payan Auva, is also the village weather forecaster. Give him some tobacco. Talk. Remember that to catch the best fish he needs a firefly. End the conversation. Then talk to him again. At the same time, a new option will appear in the dialog box: weather forecast for tomorrow. Payan will say that tomorrow there will be thick fog. Return to Tohu Malla, the gardener, and warn him about the fog. He will say that in order to protect the plants, he needs the help of a healer.

The road to the healer passes by the fisherman's hut and deep into the village. The healer Zhakhin is busy treating a baby mammoth. During the conversation, it turns out that she needs bitter berries. They grow in the gorge leading to the Valley of Spirits. They must be collected with clean and protected hands. Go to the gorge. The desired bush grows at the second pillar on the left. Put on gloves and tear berries. Return to Jahin.

Take a large one on the shelf behind her sink(top right). Then talk. Now Jahin has decided that Ariana can be trusted, and she is ready to answer questions frankly. Yes, she doubts her foremother’s words about the war on the surface, but she doesn’t know which part of the information is false and which is true. And no one will contact the foremother of their own free will.

For help with the berries, Zhakhin will give Ariana a twig, serving as a pass to the Arena behind the bamboo palisade. It also promises to help a gardener's plants survive tomorrow's fog.

Finally, Jahin will advise Ariana to awaken the Inner Spirit by passing tests in the Valley of Spirits. There are six pillars with holes in them. If you cover the holes in the two pillars with sheets standing next to each other, and then pull the tongue of the statue in the center of the Valley, a sound will be heard. The task is to choose the correct sequence of six sounds. The drawings on the arches in the Alley of Initiation should help with this. If you succeed, the island floating in the air - the Floating Garden - will lower down, and Ariana will be able to enter there.

Travel to the Valley of Spirits. Save the game here. It is quite difficult to get the correct sequence the first time without getting confused, and the game sometimes starts to glitch when you try again.

Ariana found herself in front of a large pit with a Floating Garden floating above it. There is a well-trodden path around the pit. Very long. There are various idols and totems along it, but you are only interested in the pillars with slits and leaves near them. There are six such pillars. Let's number them clockwise, starting from the place where you approached the pit. Behind the pit is an ugly, massive statue. You must cover the slots in the two pillars with leaves, then go up to the statue and pull its tongue. There will be a sound - the sound of wind of one tone or another. The task is to close the holes in pairs and then jerk the tongue to reproduce the correct sequence of six sounds. This is a troublesome and long task, so it is wise to save to another file after each subsequent sound. The resulting result is said to be similar to the speech of whales. If whales really talk like that, then it's no wonder that all other mammals fled from the sea to land!

So, here is the correct sequence of pairs of pillars:

1) Pillars 1 and 4, then the tongue.

2) Pillars 3 and 5, then tongue.

3) Pillars 4 and 6, tongue again.

4) Pillars 1 and 5, tongue again.

5) Pillars 2 and 3, language again.

6) Pillars 1 and 6, and for the last time the tongue.

If everything is done correctly, a cutscene will start and the Floating Garden will fall at Ariana's feet. And who do you think is waiting for you in the garden? - that's right, magician Adam! He wields the magic of giants and is able to magically transport himself from place to place. Why he, with his abilities, needs Ariana, who moves exclusively on her own two feet, is unclear. But nevertheless, he sends her off on a new assignment.

He believes that the hole in the force field that the foremother mentioned is in the Floating Garden. To focus energy, lenses are used here, which are produced by a rare species of mollusk. Ariana needs to get such a lens, and then put it in the right place.

Go to the gardener and tell him that Zhakhin will take care of his plants. In gratitude he will give Ariana firefly. With the firefly, go to the fisherman. He will reward Ariana rare shell. Return to the bamboo fence next to the gardener. Touch it with the twig that Zhakhin gave, and a passage will appear. And Tohu Malla, grateful for the help, will not prevent Ariana from entering inside. Inside, chat with the meditating giant wizard. When he disappears, go to the large bowl. Place a shell from Jahin, a live fisherman's clam, and mastodon hair into it. The mollusk will quickly crawl from one shell to another. The empty shell will crack, and now Ariana can take a clean one lens. With this lens, return to Adam. Now, for the island to go down, you just need to pull your tongue. The hole in the ground where you need to replace the lens is a couple of screens to the right of the Garden entrance. When you finish the job, return to Adam. He will give you sheet with code from the cargo hold of a submarine that runs from the village of giants to the mines.

To get to the boat, you need to leave the village and walk past Gustav sitting in the airship to the round gateway in the mountains. Once inside, pay attention to the panel on the wall next to the airlock. This is a counter of people coming and going through the gateway. Now it has the number 17 on it. Go out to the pier. There's a boat rocking there. And in the boat sits a very uncommunicative captain, who has absolutely no need for Ariana on board. You are being kicked out. To get on the boat, talk to the giant boy standing near the fisherman's hut. He will follow you to the pier to look at the ship. Try to talk to the captain again and you will be kicked out again. After that, open the airlock for the boy to return home. The counter will record his departure. This should fool the captain. Get back to the boat. The captain disappeared somewhere. Take this moment to go into the next compartment. There is a cargo hold door, the code for which Adam gave Ariana is 5731X. Open it. After this, the boat sets sail.

Diamond mine

Ariana found herself on a pier next to a diamond mine. Standing next to her is submarine captain Agnus. Talk to him. It turns out that in order to inspect the mine, you need a special pass. The captain will promise to give one to Ariana if she does him a favor: she will find a miner named Maori Fi and give him a souvenir from the captain - seeds from home. Go to the nearest trolley standing on the rails. Get inside and pull the lever on the control panel. The trolley will take you right to the face where the giant Maori Phi is cheerfully swinging his pickaxe. He will be delighted with the seeds and ask Ariana to tell the captain note with information about an uprising being prepared in the mines. Get back on the trolley and return to Agnus. He will say that the news received is worth passes.

Enter the tunnel on foot. Talk to Master Firmen, who needs a filter to continue his work. He will give you order form on him. Go to the elevator straight ahead, press the button, and you will rise to the top platform of the shaft. Talk to the caretaker near the iron tower - geyser. He will say that only the mine management has the right to let the tower elevator into the elevator. Continue around the platform. Closer to the middle of the roof, the camera changes angle, giving an overhead view of the entire shaft. The hangar-like building is a warehouse. This is where you need to take the filter that Firmin sent you for. The door is on the right. Talk to Amalia. She will allow you to inspect the warehouse and take a filter from the shelf. Before you leave, pick up a piece of paper from the floor near Amalia's booth. It talks about the impending revolution. Now turn into the narrow passage opposite Amalia's booth to get into the second passage between the rows of shelves. Take it from the shelf there paper with pressed prints on it. If you paint over them with a pencil, you can see what was there. Then stand on the blue tile in the middle of the passage. The camera will change angle, and you will be able to get to the things stacked on the shelves on the right. Take filter. Go behind the far row of shelves. Look at and enter into the computer the work shift schedule and routine hanging on the stand on the wall. Talk to Diamond Sorter Kiya Tran. Ask him about the geyser. He will answer that he cannot give permission to let Ariana there, but it seems that he is lying.

Take the elevator down and give the filter to Firmen. He will immediately ask you to calculate the optimal operating mode for the machines. After the conversation, Ariana will have another piece of paper in her luggage. Use a computer to process it. Then, after admiring the completely incomprehensible three numbers you received: 15, 37 and 8, go to the control panel on the wall to the right of the trolleys. There are three dials with buttons below them and a slot with a slider at the bottom. Procedure: press the button under the first dial so that it turns green. Use the slider to set the number 15. Press the button again to lock. Move on to the next watch face. On the second, press the button (green), set 37, press the button again. On the third again: button, 8, button. All three buttons should now light green. Let's return to the master. He, amazed by Ariana’s talents, presents her with a map of the mine. It shows that the geyser column rises up, higher and higher... It seems that this is the desired passage to Ariana’s home world.

Take the elevator back up to the mine roof. Go to the small glass observation post building. There Ariana will meet the giant Tile Nadi. Nadi will say that Adam asked him to help Ariana. And he will advise you to turn off the alarm in order to get to the geyser. When he leaves, take a metal sheet, standing on the side of the control panel. Then look at the remote control. On one side there are black numbers, on the other side there are white numbers. To turn off the alarm, you need to swap them. You can move numbers only in one direction. The algorithm is simple and resembles a giveaway game: move 1 black to the right, 2 white to the left, 3 black to the right, 4 white to the left, 5 black to the right, 5 white to the left, 5 black to the right, 5 white to the left, 3 black to the right, 2 white to the left, 1 black to the right. After this, the green light at the bottom will light up. The alarm is disabled.

Leave the house. Now you need to somehow distract the guard by guarding his elevator. For example, concoct a simple sabotage. Go to the channel through which water flows and place a metal sheet across the flow. Then go down the ladder and cut the belt that drives the wheel with a knife. Now you can return to the guard to please him with the news of the problem. He will leave to find out what happened.

Get into the elevator. There is a diagram in the shape of a diamond hanging on the wall. If you haven't yet penciled in a piece of paper from the warehouse shelves, now is the time to do so to learn which buttons to press. Press and the elevator will go up to the laboratory building.

In the laboratory, Ariana will overhear Armanda's telephone conversation. When she leaves, we begin the search. First, take from the sink bottle of acid. Then go to the bookcase and read the book about diamonds (about the third shelf from the bottom). Then go to the table where Armande stood. Read the instructions about Enigma balls. If you remember, in the elevator you saw a pipe with a recess for such a ball. You need to find the right ball, and it will serve as the key to the elevator's movements.

So, the Enigma balls puzzle is on the table in front of you. You have 12 identical-looking balls and scales to compare them. In three weighings you need to find a ball that differs from the others in weight. Moreover, it is initially unclear whether the key ball is lighter or heavier than the others. If the attempt fails, the balls are shuffled and another one becomes the key.

I solved the problem as follows. The probability of success on the first try of this method is 10/12, that is, 83%.

Step one: Take balls numbered 1, 2, 3 and place them on one scale. Place balls 10, 11, 12 on another bowl. Weigh it.

Step two: 1) If one of the scales turns out to be heavier, remove all the balls from any of the cups and replace them with three unweighted balls (among which there is obviously no key). Weigh it. If the scales are now balanced, then the ball is in the group removed from the scales. And now you know whether it is lighter or heavier. If the scales arrow deviates, the ball is among the first three lying on the scales. And you also know in which direction its weight differs.

2) If the batches are equal in weight, remove one of them from the scale and add the next three balls. If the arrow deviates, then the ball is in a new group of three balls. And you know whether it is lighter or heavier. If the arrow remains centered, the ball is in the last unweighted group. You can weigh one ball from this last group “at random” in your last attempt, or start all over again.

The last step. Now you know which group of three balls the key ball is in. Moreover, it is known whether it is lighter or heavier. Place one ball from this group on each side of the scale. Weigh it. If the scales deviate, take the desired ball. If the scales remain balanced, it means the ball you need is the last one.

Click on ball mouse to take it into your luggage.

Come to the door. Armande locked it when she left. Spray the lock with acid. The door will open. Go to the elevator, place the ball in the recess, and the elevator will take Ariana up, straight into the office of the man who made the whole world work for his greed. Look around. Take it from the office table films, rector's diary Alexander Academy, disk And fake photo. Analyze the information received.

Now save the game. Because now you have a choice: if Ariana goes through the round door in the center of the room, the game will end here and now. Ariana's career will skyrocket, the secrets of the underworld will become public, and the last dinosaurs will disappear, destroyed by the onslaught of civilization. Or Ariana may linger in the underworld to help her new friends restore justice. If you decide to do this, then get back into the elevator.

In the Arena you can see the wonders of giant magic.

Down by the elevator you will see Nadi. Tell him about your findings. Then go to the glass observation post. Adam is waiting for Ariana there. He will advise her to look for evidence of the scam in the laboratory safe. Adam will tell you that the safe will open after three vessels are balanced, one of which contains an acid, the second contains an alkali (base), and the third contains a neutral solution. Pick up from the floor leaf with instructions for neutralizing solutions. Read it. Another one appeared next to the remote control a metal sheet- take it with you. Go to the warehouse to the place where the diamond sorter worked. There on the conveyor belt you can take black diamond powder And white diamond powder. Now take the elevator up to the laboratory (click on the diamond-shaped diagram on the wall). First, go to the sink. lies on it litmus paper, which allows you to determine the acidity of solutions. Now go to the safe. Look at the castle. First, put litmus papers into the flasks one by one, and then pour in the powders. After this, you can open the safe door. On the top shelf you will find documentation, telling about diamonds sold, clients and bank accounts. Go downstairs from the laboratory and tell Nadya, who is standing by the elevator, about your discoveries. The investigation is completed and it's time to return to the submarine.

At the entrance to the elevator going into the mine, take the lying stairs. Go down into the tunnel.

Ariana found herself back in the hall, where she was talking with Master Firmin. The master left. But above the remote control where Ariana lit the green lights, you can see a suspended bunch of dynamite. It seems that in order to avoid an uprising and cover up all traces, the rector and his comrades decided to blow up the mine. Place a ladder against the wall. Climb up to the dynamite and cut off the dangerous trophy with a knife. Come down. But that is not all. A little further, at the railway switches, there is a whole cart loaded with dynamite. Ariana decides that the only way to get rid of the bomb is to throw it into the sea. Go to the pier where the train tracks end. Place a sheet of metal at the end of the rails to act as a trampoline for the trolley. Then, since you have arrived at the pier, you can talk to the captain. He will say that without receiving an order, he will not sail anywhere.

Return to the minecart with explosives. Wear gloves. Pull the lever next to the tracks to move the arrows. And then push the trolley and watch the video. Now you can return to the captain. He realized the seriousness of the situation and is ready to sail immediately.

Village of Giants

From the pier, go again to the village of giants. Along the way, talk to Gustav, who is waiting for Ariana in the airship basket. He, knowing the customs of giants, will offer to give him the entire piercing and cutting arsenal of the correspondent for safekeeping.

The village is empty. The only one you will find on the spot is the healer Zhakhin. Tell her about the diamond scam of the rector of the Academy and that one of Zhakhin’s fellow tribesmen is helping in this conspiracy. She will listen to Ariana, but to confirm her words she will ask to bring a memory ball from the Arena. She will give it to Ariana butterfly and offer to take catcher flower from the shelf (such a big red gramophone). Go to the bamboo fence. Pour water from a flask onto a bright yellow flower, and then release the butterfly. Watch the video. After the magic butterfly flies over the hedge, a passage appears in it. Enter the arena and place the flower on the square pedestal in the center. Memory Ball will fall into the calyx of the flower. Ariana is delighted with what she sees, but how fragile is this beautiful civilization!

Return with the ball to Zhakhin. She will touch the ball and feel that Ariana is right. Now we need to try to find the foremother, who is now in the Valley of Spirits. The valley is closed by a force field, and Zhakhin gives Ariana flute, which must be played to open the passage. Run to the stone with the tongue. It’s just that there’s no language. Instead lies a note, from which it is clear that Ariana is in danger. There is nothing more to do here, return to Gustav and fly to Askiam.

Askiam

The airship lands on the market square. Go to the kiosk where you got the dinosaur skin and take piece of blue fabric And telephone token.

It would be good to find Wallace and tell him about the investigation. Let's go look for the chief engineer. At the intersection we see Enrique. It turns out that Adam had already been here and asked Enrique to help Ariana. Enrique will tell you that Wallace can be found at the Academy. It’s just unclear how to get there - all the monorail stations are guarded by the rector’s cronies. Armande looms at the station near the market square. The giant renegade Bares Mohul is on duty at the monorail tower next to the press center.

Maybe you can use your phone? There are several street machines in Askiama. On the market square near the monorail station there is a device with the number 123-06. On the street behind the animal dealer's house there is a device 123-05. At the house in front of the market gate there is a telephone number 123-08. Finally, apparatus 123-04 hangs at the city gates. Ariana will not be allowed to use them: she does not have enough information yet.

When Ariana approaches the press center and sees Bares Mogul, it dawns on her: she can call him on behalf of Armanda, send him somewhere far away and take the monorail to the Academy. To do this, you need to know the phone number near the press center. Who can know the numbers if not a signalman? We return to the intersection to Enrique and ask him. He gives Ariana a list of local numbers. The required number is 123-09. Now go to any machine, cover the microphone in the center of the machine with a piece of cloth and lower the token into the slot. The conversation happens automatically. After that, go to the monorail at the press center and go to the Academy.

Academy

Go to the laboratory. On the table from the box, take the paper about changing the characteristics of the pantograph. On the table is a report on the differences between the civilizations of giants and humans. The possible extinction of the giants is presented in it as a manifestation of natural selection - the survival of the fittest. Then go to the far corner of the laboratory. There on the table there is a box with a secret compartment in it. To get to the contents, you must solve another puzzle - build the Pyramid of Hanoi.

The description of the task is outlined on the piece of paper lying next to it. There are three rods. The first of the seven film reels is assembled into a pyramid. You need to transfer the coils in the same order to the third rod. Restriction: larger diameter coils cannot be placed on smaller diameter coils to avoid damage. The problem can be solved without much difficulty, but if you are confused, here is the algorithm.

13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 21, 32, 31,

21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12, 32, 31, 21, 23, 13, 21,

32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23,

13, 21, 32, 31, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 21, 32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12, 32, 31,

21, 23, 13, 21, 32, 31, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 31, 21, 32, 13, 12,

32, 13, 21, 23, 13, 21, 32, 31, 21, 23, 13, 12, 32, 13, 21, 23, 13.

The numbers 13 mean that you need to move the disk from the first rod to the third, 21 - from the second to the first, and so on.

After completing the task, the box will open. Hidden in it is a bottle of a potion that is deadly to giants and harmless to humans. There are also instructions for use: the infection is transmitted by touch, begins to act after 15 minutes, there is no antidote. The mortality rate reaches 25%. So much for “natural selection”!

Exit into the laboratory and go to the archive located opposite. Use the machine with buttons (pull the handle) to get a listing of the literature ordered by the rector. Exit to the lobby. There, the deceitful rector Alexander and the traitor Bares Mogul are waiting for Ariana. The conversation leads nowhere. Ariana is captured and Bares teleports her to prison.

Jail

It should be noted that, judging by the interior and the remains of the meal on the table, the prisoners in the local prisons live quite well. Look around. Take a note from Alexander, addressed to Peter, from the chest of drawers, asking him to hold the young lady (is that us, or what?) until Alexander returns. A little further in the tub there is a tree growing - click on it with the mouse. A secret passage to the next room will open in the wall. Enter Peter's laboratory. Take it from the table at the entrance wick And periscope diagram. The periscope itself occupies the middle of the room. Go around it to talk to Peter standing by the bookshelves. He will tell you that he plans to observe stars above the Earth’s surface through a periscope, but the device is missing some parts. In addition, a safe light source is needed to install them inside the device. No, a lighter won't help here. Peter was put in prison by his brother, the rector of the Academy. But as long as Alexander gives him everything he needs for scientific work, Peter does not object to the conclusion. After the conversation, spin the telescope - Peter will start chasing Ariana away.

Return to the first room. A basket hangs from the ceiling on a rope. They're probably dumping food in it. Screw the fuse to a bundle of dynamite in your luggage, place it in the basket and light it with a lighter. Watch the video. Pick up a long one among the debris on the floor stick. Connect it with a rope from your luggage and throw it into the hatch on the ceiling. Hooray! Ariana is free again. But where are we? Yes, in the very cave where our journey began.

Go out towards the mushroom forest. Adam is waiting for Ariana outside. He will tell you that everyone is looking for her, Gustav is combing the surrounding area on his airship. Tell Adam about your discoveries, about Peter and the telescope, and about the danger threatening the giants. To protect the giants from infection, Adam will advise you to take the bone near his hut and take it to Zhakhin. She knows how to use it. In addition, Adam will agree to keep watch at the cave, but he asks Ariana to get a few things: a box and some coal, a fern for a bed, a blanket and some food. Enter the cave again. Box And coal will be found opposite the switchboard. In the mushroom forest, opposite the place where Ariana collected mushrooms, cut with a knife fern. Then go up to the mushroom post. Lies on the table food, and you can take it from the bed blanket. Take the collected items to Adam.

Then go past his house to the second bridge. Sticking out of the sand bone- that’s what you need. Cross the bridge into the jungle and you will notice Gustav patrolling the savannah. Go to the place where you saw the tyrannosaurus - the airship will be waiting for you there. At first, Gustav will insist that Ariana needs to return to the city. But then, imbued with the importance of the mission, he takes Ariana to the giants.

Village of Giants

Go out into the clearing where mastodons graze. Pick up coconut at three palm trees and dried excrement mastodons nearby. Go to the village. The fisherman is sitting at the hut again. We remember his passion for fireflies and the fact that the periscope needs a safe light source, and we go to talk to him. He will promise a firefly if Ariana places the tops in the correct order for the crayfish that were confused by the current. The tops are located not far from the house. There are only three of them and each is marked with its own color. And in front of them, symbols of different colors are also painted on the stones. The task is quite simple. Once completed, go to the fisherman and get what you need firefly.

For some reason, Zhakhin is standing with a blindfold. It turns out that her inner vision has developed so much that she no longer needs her eyes... Well, well! Tell her about the danger facing the giants. Jahin is ready to brew a potion and cast a spell that will temporarily protect the village, but something is missing. Specifically, the berries of the five senses. You can find them in the Alley of Dedication, leading to the Valley of Spirits. Go there. Wear gloves. The ones you need berries grow at the third pillar on the left. Return to the healer.

Now let's brew the potion. We put mastodon dung on the stone next to the baby mammoth, set it on fire with a lighter, put a coconut, put berries and throw in bone powder. Tell Jahin that the potion is ready. She casts a spell and gives him a sponge to collect the potion in. Wear gloves - otherwise you won't be able to handle the hot nut. After this, a sponge with medicine will appear in Ariana's luggage.

Go to the central gazebo. Nadi is standing there. Talk to him and then squeeze the sponge into the holes in the floor at the back of the gazebo. After this, Nadi will agree to deliver Ariana to her foremother in the Floating Garden. Follow him to the Valley of Spirits. There he will take you to the garden.

Talk to the foremother. Tell her about the conspiracy, present evidence and invite her to look at the upper world through the periscope. After this, go to Gustav to return to Askiam.

The final

The telephone rings in the market square. Pick up the phone. They ask Ariana. This is the only time in the game where you have the choice to answer yes or no. However, if you answer in the negative, little will change, and after a few seconds the phone will ring again. Enrique calls, he asks Ariana to come to his press center as quickly as possible. The fastest way is to take the monorail. But before you leave the market square, go to the airship and take helium balloon.

In the press center, persuade Enrique to notify the city residents about the events taking place. And in order to prevent the rector, it is worth blocking the monorail station near the Academy. For this Enrique will give Ariana master key. Take the elevator down to the control panel. Pick up from the floor pliers. Look at the diagram on the remote and press the button under the Academy station so that it turns red. Return to Enrique.

Now we need to find Wallace. He was going to visit the giants, and, without knowing it, he could bring Alexander’s infection to them. Go to the intersection and turn towards the pharmacy. The chief engineer is standing there. Finally, you can transfer the threads of the investigation into the hands of local authorities! Tell us about the poison, about the diamond scam, show evidence. Finally, invite Wallace to use the periscope to see for himself that peace reigns on the surface. He accepts the invitation. Now Ariana's name has been cleared and she is free to leave the city at any time.

The last thing you need to take care of before leaving Askiam is to assemble the missing parts for the periscope. Go to the beast dealer's store. The store is locked, but Enrique's key will open the lock. Go to the secret room. There is a magnifying glass on the shelf next to the dinosaur model. Using pliers, remove from it magnifying glass. Leave the store and go to the gate. Outside the gate, talk to Osin. He is saddened by the separation, and to help Ariana one last time, he allows her to take the mirror from his camera. Go to the tower and take mirror. Now all that's left is to approach the familiar jalopy with the hard-working dinosaur... and Ariana ends up right in Peter's laboratory.

Go to the periscope. Plant a firefly inside. Then put the mirror and magnifying glass in place. Remove the firefly from the device. Now talk to Peter and ask him for the coordinates to observe the harbor on the surface of the Earth. The paper with numbers is on the chest of drawers next to the door. Enter the numbers into the computer, click on the periscope and watch the final video: how amazed Wallace is at the picture of the upper world, how Ariana says goodbye to her new friends and goes to the surface. By the way, if you carefully followed the faxes that Ariana received from friends, colleagues and relatives during the game, then you know that a very warm welcome awaits her! After she disappeared, everyone suddenly realized how much they appreciated and loved her. And it’s probably for the best that the floppy disk with photographs of the lost world falls out of the laptop during Ariana’s flight over the sea.

Congratulations! You have completed the game.

Quest " Journey to the Center of the Earth" —« Journey to the Center of the Earth“- continues the storyline of the novel of the same name by Jules Verne, published more than a hundred years ago. More precisely, in 1864.

The novel tells how the German mineralogist professor Otto Lidenbrock found a mysterious manuscript and followed in the footsteps of the famous 16th-century alchemist Saknussem, who was the first to penetrate the underworld. The enthusiastic professor was followed by his ever-moaning and whining nephew Axel, who had dragged himself on the expedition not out of scientific interest, but so as not to anger his uncle and please his fiancée. The third was an Icelandic guide, calm as an iceberg in the ocean, ready to go to hell for two Reichsthalers a day.

The adventures of this trio in the underworld form the essence of the novel. This odyssey ended with the professor, his nephew and Icelandic guide being spat out by a volcano in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea on the island of Stromboli. After which the nephew published a description of this incredible journey.

In your game Frogwares continued this story. The French scientist Armand Latifer believed in Lidenbrock's discoveries. Latifer gathered around him a group of like-minded people, and an entire expedition of scientists who wanted to create a new Eden of science set off for the underworld.

A century and a half has passed. And so in 2005, photojournalist Ariana goes to photograph the landscapes of Iceland to the very Snuffels volcano from which this whole story began. The landing site was poorly chosen, and the helicopter was buried under rockfall. The enterprising girl immediately called rescuers using her laptop, but did not wait for them. Instead, she climbed into a dark cave with a lighter, as a result of which she fell into God knows where. Ariana’s adventures in this very unknown place - that is, in the underworld - form the essence of the game.

Pick up the helicopter blade and use it to open the door to the salon. Take the bag (you need to unpack it in your inventory), rope, knife and laptop. Use a screwdriver to remove the first aid kit and unpack it in your inventory. Use a knife to cut off the wires that stick out from the shield. Go left to the seashore. Open your laptop, find outgoing messages and send an SOS. Return to the helicopter and go right. Use the helicopter blade to move away the stone blocking the passage into the cave. In your inventory, light the lighter and use it on the passage.

Meet Adam Coverlier, who needs a polished crystal for his staff. Attention! Be sure to fill the flask with water, otherwise the trigger will not work later and you will not be able to continue the game. You need to stand here.

Pick up the bone under Ariana's feet and go down the screen. Near the passage to the mine, pick up a sharp shell; in the hall, take a chisel from the nearest box. Return to the street and go across the bridge. Pick up a petrified piece of wood in the lower left corner of the screen, and a rag in the lower right corner of the screen. Zoom in on the tombstones. Examine the tombstone by clicking on it with the laptop icon. The second tombstone needs to be cleaned using a combination of cleaner and a rag. Click on the rock at the back of the screen. Ariana will find a cave with crystals.

Climb onto the ladder. Use gloves and combine a chisel and petrified piece of wood. Click on the crystal. Get off and go to the right wall, on which the polishing mechanism hangs. Place the crystal on the stand and click on the bellows. Ariana will think: what can I use to polish it? Go outside and take a handful of sand (you need to look for an active point on the sand). Pour sand into the bottle and press the bellows several times. Take the crystal and bellows.

Return to the mine. Walk further until Ariana says she can't go any further - it's too dark. Approach the wheel on the left. Put on gloves and apply the found wires and tape to the wiring. The wheel should work. Go to the next cave and click on the door.

Go left along the path. At the next location, use a knife to cut off the mushrooms. Then move right until you see a mushroom with a ladder. Climb the tower and meet the lieutenant. He will explain that his partner needs painkillers and a splint. Come down. If you follow the road to the right, you will eventually reach a suspension bridge. Cut two plates from a thick stump with a knife. Return to the lieutenant and talk about the tire. If you poured water into the flask, a line about a tablet and a broken forge will appear.

The forge is located in the depths of the tower. Combine a lit lighter and a piece of bone. Combine a hardened piece of bone and a sharp shell. Insert the shell with holes into the forge. Attach the bellows to the sink and report to the lieutenant about the forge. When he takes his partner away, approach the table and take away the map, machete, gunpowder and thin vines. Go to the suspension bridge.

Adam lives across the bridge. Go along the road with the skulls and give the crystal. Get permission to inspect the house. Go to the office and take the book from the table. There are also microscopic pieces of wood that you need to take with you. Throw the mushrooms into the bowl and find out that the helicopter pilot escaped and ran away somewhere. In the other corner there is a locked chest, on the table next to the test tubes are useful jars of paint. Now you need to stand between the rooms so that you can see the bookcase, window and gramophone. From this position you will see an amulet on the left pillar. Combine pieces of wood and an amulet. Assemble a simple tangram, for example, like this.

You will make a chest key. Take the rolled up documents from it and click on the bust of the scientist. Read the information on the laptop. There is nothing else to profit from here, so leave the house and return to the beginning of the road with the skulls. Go left and further along the second suspension bridge. Go down the rope ladder. Go down the screen two times and use the machete on the thicket. Pick up cut leaves.

At the next location there is a huge tyrannosaurus, a trolley can be seen in the depths of the screen. It is clear that the lizard will not let you in voluntarily. Go right. Place a leaf, paints and gunpowder in the hollow of a fallen tree. Tie the leaf with thin vines and set it on fire.

After removing the obstacle, go to the trolley. You will find a small tyrannosaurus that really wants to jump to the orange fruit hanging on the bush. Pick the fruit and go to the trolley. Open it, put the fruit inside and go to town.

2. City of Askiam

At the gate, talk to the guard who will ask you to fix his camera. The inventory will contain the key to the tower. Without entering the city, go left. Open the tower with the received key. There is a photo lab inside. Zoom in on the table and turn on the red light. Take photo paper from the stack and place it on the table. Pull the enlarger ring twice. Take the paper and dip it into three baths one by one. View the resulting photo (you won’t see the large photo, but Ariana will understand that someone is following her).

Go to the city and meet Chief Engineer Wallace. Your Academy pass and monorail tickets will now appear in your inventory. Go to the bottom of the screen to explore the city. The first branch to the left is the road to the house with a bell tower (this is a communications center). Next you will come to an intersection. The road under the arch goes to the market. The dark stone building on the right is a monorail station, the green house in the back of the screen is a pet store, the road to the left leads to a pharmacy.

Talk to the owner of the pet store and find out that he needs animal eggs for his work. Go to the store and zoom in on the table. Take a recipe book and three punch cards. Click on the button under the cash register, exit the zoom and change your angle of view. You will find a secret door on the wall.

Adam is waiting for you inside, who has come for a drug called Anagra Seal. Take the note from the table about ordering biocardamom. Go to the corner, zoom in on the unfinished stuffed rhinoceros and pick up the needle. Go outside and go to the pharmacy.

Meet the pharmacist Armanda, but she won't sell anything without a prescription. Open the recipe book and find the Anagra Seal punch card. Combine punch cards and a needle and make a recipe by clicking on the punch card diamonds in the correct order. Give the prescription to the pharmacist, but she will still refuse to sell the medicine. Tell her about biocardamom - now she will finally disappear. Move Ariana to the right, as she is blocking the medicinal machine. Insert the punched card with the prescription into the slot of the machine and pull the lever. Click on the medicine wheel and take the bottle. Return to the pet store office and in exchange for the medicine, receive from Adam a navigation map for flying to the village of giants.

Go to the communications center. Go through the hall, then down the corridor and open the left door. Meet the telegraph operator and receive the key to the projector room. Go out into the corridor: the semicircular door closest to you on the right is the projector door. Open the door and use the film received from Enrique on the projector. View the recording (the wars of the 20th century and the agitation to work in the mine), then in the inventory click on the film and select “analyze”. Ariana will think that the war that everyone is telling her about looks extremely suspicious.

Exit into the corridor and go to the front door. Here you need to think about examining the non-working clock on the wall and reporting it into the microphone. You will receive an invitation from the Chief Mechanic to come to his office. To go up to the Chief Mechanic, you need to return to the telegraph operator. In the center of the hall there is an elevator car, the door of which will now become active.

The chief mechanic will tell you that he lost the calculated coordinates for the monorail control panel. The piece of paper with the coordinates lies below, on the nearest table to the door (where the curved chair is). Return to the Chief Mechanic and enter the coordinates into the remote control. He will ask you to send a telegram. Go down to the telegraph operator and carry out the assignment, having first read the telegram. Ariana will think that the sudden change in coordinates looks like sabotage. In the center of the table lies another telegram, in which the Chief Engineer announces Ariana's arrival and makes an appointment for someone in the archive.

Go to the market. There is a flying machine to the left of the arch. Meet Gustav, who needs a helium tank and something to patch a hole in a pipe. Here you will find a stall with a large clock. You need to approach the stall table and take the dinosaur skin and lubricant.

Go to the monorail station. A map will appear, select "Academy" and confirm your choice. In the round hall, go left until you see the "balcony" view. Below is the door to the laboratory. Chat with Armanda, who will immediately ask you to vacate the premises. Exit into the hall, go right and find the door to the archives (if you haven't talked to the pharmacist, it will remain locked). Meet the rector of the Academy and talk to Wallace. Take the film reel from the table, zoom in on the electronic form and, pressing the lever, tear off the strip with the list of books that Wallace is reading.

Return to the laboratory. Take a file and an iron plate from the table. Combine a plate and a file. Go to the bottom of the screen and pick up the helium tank.

Before you fly out of town, you need to complete three tasks: watch the film you found, repair the camera, and get eggs. After viewing the film in the projector room, you will see a edited recording: Ariana breaks the monorail control panel.

Go beyond the city gates to the darkroom. Apply the iron plate and lubricant to the camera. Talk to the guard who will allow you to use the trolley. Click on the trolley and return to Adam's house. Go to the office and take the dinosaur eggs. (You will have to go back across the bridge again, go down into the jungle and run to the trolley. To go to the city, you need to open the door of the wheel for the tyrannosaurus.)

Talk to the pet store owner about the eggs and go to the market.

Click on the basket of the aircraft. Use a piece of dinosaur skin on the pipe and place the helium balloon on the small pipe next to the pressure gauge. Apply the navigation map to the center of the square panel.

3. Village of Giants

After talking with Gustav, go to the bottom of the screen. Meet and pick up mastodon fur from the ground. Go to the lower left corner of the screen. You will see an arch protected by a force field. Return to the shepherd and ask him about the arch. He will advise you to leave all sharp objects outside and give you tobacco. Do this, placing the machete or knife to the right of the arch.

In the village you need to meet the elder, then click at the bottom of the screen and talk to the gardener. He will vaguely explain that he needs a weather forecast for tomorrow. There is a fence next to the gardener, but you can’t get inside yet. Go to the left of the elder's hut and meet the fisherman, giving him tobacco. He will tell you about the bait necessary for fishing (firefly beetle). Talk to him again and find out the weather forecast. Return to the gardener. He will ask you to visit the healer to prepare the crops. Walk through the village past the meditating peasants and find the healer's hut. After talking with her on all topics, you will receive a protective branch. Zoom into the rack with the various vials and take the empty shell from the top shelf. The healer's task (bring bitter berries) in the Golden Edition does not need to be completed, since no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to pick them. Return to the gardener and report the spell for the crops. Get the firefly beetle and take it to the fisherman. Now you will have a living shell.

It's time to visit the Valley of Spirits. Follow the road past the healer's hut into the passage between the rocks, and then walk across the field for several screens. You will come out into a clearing with pillars. Continue along the path until you see a gray stone head. Click on the tongue of the head and you will find yourself in the Floating Garden. Talk to Adam Coverlier about all topics. To go down, select the "go down" cue.

Return to the gardener and press the protective branch on the fence. Go inside and meet the magician Bares Mogul. When he disappears, click on the bowl of blue water on the left of the screen. Place the mastodon fur, live shell, and empty shell into the bowl. Click on the living shell and take the lens. Return to the Valley of Spirits to Adam. Here you need to select the path by clicking to the right of the two harps. You will see a hole in the ground with light coming out of it.

Adam's parting advice will be to use a submarine to get into the mine.

Return to the field where Gustav is waiting. There is a door in the rock in the background of the screen that leads to the sea. There is a submarine here. If you get on the boat and try to communicate with the captain, he will not want to talk. Ariana will wonder how she can leave without anyone noticing? Return to the village, on the way paying attention to a certain mechanism at the door (it now has the number 17 on it). The authors of the game came up with (from their point of view) a brilliant move: you need to invite the fisherman’s daughter to look at the submarine. Then at the pier the girl must be immediately sent back (if you look at the mechanism at the door, the counter will show 16).

Get on the boat. The captain has left, you must open the left door. In the next room there is a combination lock on one of the doors. Open your inventory and look at the code Adam gave. Enter the code on the door and go inside.

4. Diamond mine

The captain will ask you to take the seeds to your relative, for which he will promise you a pass to the mine. Click on the minecart in the center of the screen. Move the trolley lever and Ariana will go into the mine. Go to the bottom of the screen and talk to the giant about the seeds. After the conversation, your inventory will contain a note for the submarine captain. Return to him and talk about the note - you will now receive a pass. Walk into the mine on foot. Chat with the Chief Miner and receive an order for a part for the machine. There is an elevator at the bottom of the screen, go up to the roof.

Here, first go to the lower right corner of the screen and meet the giant who is guarding the hatch door. Then return to the elevator and, without going down, go to the adjacent building. Find the open door and talk to the storekeeper. Read the message on the piece of paper lying under the counter. Go into the passage by the door. In the next row of shelves near the stairs, take a crumpled piece of paper. Now you need to turn around so that you can see the left rack and the storekeeper in the depths of the screen. There is a filter and a pencil on the shelf. Combine paper and pencil and get a diagram. Continue past the shelves and look at the notice board. Talk to the diamond sorter. Go outside, go left and open the door of the small house. This is where the platform inspector works. The already familiar magician Bares Mogul will appear outside the window, the inspector will go to talk to him.

Turn to the door. To the left of it there is a large mechanism that turns off the alarm. The task is to swap the white and black sets of numbers.

Solution: 8h, 8b, 1b, 8h, 1h, 4h, 8b, 1b, 4b, 6b, 8h, 1h, 4h, 6h, 2h, 8b, 1b, 4b, 6b, 2b, 8h, 1h, 4h, 6h, 2h, 1b, 4b, 6b, 2b, 4h, 6h, 2h, 6b, 2b, 2h.

The green light will light up. Pick up the square iron sheet near the mechanism and go outside. Go down to the Chief Miner. He will receive a filter and give the next task - set three timers. A sheet with calculations will appear in the laptop, and the answer will appear on the “Encyclopedia” tab. Step towards the elevator. On the right you will see a lever under which there are three dials. Zoom in on the dials and set the first to 15, the second to 37, the third to 8. To do this, you must first press the button on the dial, then click the mouse on the scale with divisions. If everything is correct, all buttons should light up green.

Report to the Chief Miner about the machine and receive a map of the mine with access to the surface. As you may have guessed, the exit is behind the hatch door on the roof. Go there.

To distract the guard, go to the stairs and place an iron sheet on the groove with water. Go down the stairs and use the machete to cut the leather belt connecting the gears. Go to the guard, then click on the hatch door. You will find yourself in an elevator. The lever on the wall is the exit. There is a lock hanging on the wall, the diagram of which you have already found.

Click on the right buttons and rise even higher. Go to the bottom of the screen and open the door to the laboratory. Ariana will sneak past Armande unnoticed, who will immediately leave. Go to the table near which the pharmacist stood. You need to find a ball that differs in weight from the others in three weighings.

Place any six balls on one bowl, and the other six on another bowl. Press the tab of the scale. Remove the lighter balls and place them in front of the scale. Divide the six heavier balls into two and place them on both bowls. Press the tab of the scale. Remove the lighter balls and one more among the heavier ones, remembering its number. Weigh the remaining two balls in separate bowls. If the scales are balanced, then the ball you need lies in front of the scales (whose number you remember), if the scales are not balanced, take the heavier one.

Approach the door - it is locked. Return to the corner where Ariana was hiding and go to the bottom of the screen. Take the bottle of acid from the sink and pour it on the door. Go outside and go to the elevator. Under the lock there is a tube in which you need to put the ball. You will arrive at some secret place.

Go to the table. Look through the photos, take the disk. Return to the doors. A large double door is the end of the game, a narrow door is the continuation of the game.

Part two, optional

Exit the elevator and talk to the guard. Go to the platform inspector's house. Talk to Adam, who will tell you how to open the safe in the laboratory (the test tubes must contain the same amount of liquid). There is a piece of paper with the code for the safe on the floor. Pick up another iron sheet.

Return to the laboratory and go to the sink. Take the litmus tests and analyze them in your laptop. The safe is next to the table with the scales. Apply litmus papers to the test tubes of the safe and find out that the middle test tube contains an acid, the right test tube contains a basic solution, and the left test tube contains a neutral solution. According to the hint, all you have to do is find black and white diamond powder. Go to the warehouse to the diamond sorter's workplace. Take white and black diamond powders from the conveyor. Return to the laboratory. You need to neutralize all test tubes. Use white diamond powder on the red test tube, black diamond powder on the blue test tube. Turn the safe wheel and read the documents.

Take the elevator down to the guard and after talking with him, go down to the submarine captain. He will say that he needs an order to take Ariana back to the village of giants. Return to the roof, pick up the stepladder not far from the elevator. Take the elevator down and go to the machine where the timers were installed. Place the stepladder and climb up. Cut off the dynamite bundle with a knife. Return to the pier and place the iron sheet on the rails.

Return to the mine. From the elevator, go left and examine the dynamite cart. Move the arrow and click on the trolley. After the explosion, go to the captain of the submarine and persuade him to sail to the village of giants.

Return to Gustav and tell him that you will first go to the village of giants. There is no one in the village except the healer. She will explain that you need to feed the butterfly, get into the arena and use the trap flower to get the memory ball. Go to the arena and use the flask of water on the flowers. Plant the butterfly there and after the video go to the arena. Place the trap flower on the square stone slab and take the memory ball. Take it to the healer and you will receive a flute. Go to the Valley of Spirits by using the flute on the force field. Try to lower the Floating Garden - the stone head has no tongue, but there is a note from the rector. Return to Gustav and go to the city.

Go through the arch to the intersection and talk to the telegraph operator. He will say that Chief Engineer Wallace is now at the Academy. Ariana will answer that the entrances to the monorail are guarded. Go to the communications center (Bores Mogul is standing here) and return to the telegraph operator. Ask him for a list of telephone numbers of all city booths.

The booths are located at the crossroads, behind the pet store, at the market, near the gate and near the communications center. Each booth has a number; By process of elimination, you will find out that the booth near the communication center has the number 123-09. Return to the market and examine the clock stall again. Take the blue rag and the phone token from the table. Go to any booth (crossroads, gate or pet store). Place a cloth over the dial and press the token into the slot. Ariana will pretend to be Armande and tell Bares Mogul to leave his post. Go to the communications center, go left near the door to the monorail station.

At the Academy, go to the archives. In the electronic form, view the list of books of the rector. Check the laboratory: you need to find a report on the table, and in a brown box - a note about changing the coordinates of the collector. Go to the bottom of the screen to the table in the corner under the huge thermometer. You are invited to play the “Tower of Hanoi” by moving seven reels of film from the left column to the right.

The principle is this: you cannot put a large reel on a small one. Any “Tower of Hanoi”, regardless of the number of columns and rings, is solved this way: count the number of rings (in this case there are seven). Mentally move the largest ring to the right column, the second ring from the bottom to the middle column, the third ring from the bottom to the right column, etc. You need to determine the first step: which post to place the topmost ring on. In this puzzle, the top ring needs to be moved to the right column, the second ring from the top - to the middle column, the top ring - to the middle column, the third ring from the top - to the right column, the top ring - to the left column, the second ring from the top - to the right column, the top ring - on the right column, etc.

From the hiding place, take a bottle of poison for giants and an explanatory note-memorandum. When you go out into the hall, Ariana will meet the rector and Bares Mogul and find herself in prison.

Go right to the fireplace and read the note on the dresser. Go to the brick wall and click on the potted flower. The door will open, go into the next room. Find the note about the periscope on the table and pick up the fuse. Go left and meet the rector's brother. Click on the periscope and go to another room. Combine fuse and dynamite and place in the hanging basket. Light the dynamite. After the explosion, pick up the iron rod and combine it with the rope. Step towards the fireplace and throw the rope through the hatch in the ceiling. You will return to the mine at the first camp.

Go to the mushroom forest. Talk to Adam and receive further instructions. Along the way, Ariana will automatically pick a fern leaf. Climb the tower, take the blanket and leftover food from the table. Return to the mine to the room with the wheel. Opposite the wheel, pick up an empty box and a piece of coal. Talk to Adam, after which you will automatically find yourself next to his house. Here, pick up the crushed bones.

Go across the bridge into the jungle. In the clearing where the trolley was, you will find Gustav. He will transport Ariana to the village of giants.

Residents returned to the village again. Go to the fisherman and ask about the firefly beetle. He will give it to you in exchange for help: you need to untangle the lines of crayfish and put the crayfish in three cages. The bait will appear in your inventory.

The clamshells are located to the left of the fisherman's hut. Bring them closer and place the bait near the middle rock. See which crayfish comes for the bait - red or green. If a green crayfish comes, click on the green crayfish, and then on the other two; if a red crayfish comes, click on the red crayfish and the other two. Return to the fisherman - you will receive a firefly beetle.

Go to the healer and find out that she needs a potion made from coconut milk, berries and bones. Coconuts lie on the field in front of the village of giants; at the same time, pick up the manure. Return to the alley to the Valley of Spirits. To find the correct berries, click on the pillar with two wavy lines (it's the last one on the left). Put on a glove and pick the blue "five senses" berries.

Return to the healer. To her right on the ground lies a large gray stone. Place manure on it and set it on fire. Then apply the coconut, berries and bone to the fire. Talk to the healer. Use your glove to touch the coconut over the fire and you will receive a sponge. Go to the elder's hut and talk to the giant. Then go to the right of him and use the sponge on any hole in the floor. Travel to the Valley of Spirits. Automatically you will talk to the elder and return to the field to Gustav.

Having arrived in the city, run to the telephone booth and click on the dial. The telegraph operator invites you to come to the communication center. First, go to Gustav and take out the helium tank from his airship. You can take the monorail and return to the hub. After talking with the telegraph operator you will receive a master key. Climb onto the monorail control panel and zoom in on the control panel. Click on the button under the Academy station so that the monorail cannot get there. Pick up the pliers from the floor and go outside.

Find Chief Engineer Wallace near the pharmacy and agree on cooperation. Go to the pet store, open the door with the master key and go into the office. Zoom in on the stuffed rhinoceros and use pliers to remove the lens from the magnifying glass. Go outside the city gates to the darkroom. Ask the guard for permission to take the mirror from the cell. Take the mirror and click on the trolley.

Automatically you will find yourself in a room with a periscope. Rotate the periscope if you haven't done so before. Place a firefly beetle in the periscope. Insert the mirror into the lower mount and the lens into the upper one. Take the firefly and talk to the rector's brother. Go to the table above which the slate hangs and find the coordinates. Click on the periscope and watch the final video.

VOLKAN SNAFFELS

The game begins with a helicopter crash, Ariana films everything on camera. Helicopter: Ariana is interested in her pilot, go to the door of the helicopter, the door is closed. Next to the helicopter on the left, pick up a part from the helicopter’s propeller and use it to open the door. Inside the helicopter you find a rope, a knife, a computer and a bag. Unpack the bag and you will have a screwdriver, gloves, a lighter and an empty flask. Inside the helicopter, take the first aid kit using a screwdriver, unpack the first aid kit and you have: cleaning fluid, plaster, bandage and painkillers. Use a knife to cut off the electrical wires to the left of the first aid kit. Get out of the helicopter. Shore: Go left and you're on the shore. Click on your computer to send an email. Dark passage: From the helicopter, go back and to the right, you will see a passage littered with stones, open the passage with part of the propeller, Ariana says that it is dark and old there - a little fire from a lighter and forward, Aha! Failed! Welcome to the fairy tale.

FIRST CAMP

Beach: Meet Adam, he really needs some kind of crystal for his staff, which is located in a cave near the First Camp. Find out that you can get into the city through an old mine, but before that you must polish the crystal. Right under Ariana’s feet you will find a sharp bone. Take an empty flask and fill it with water where the hand appears at the bridge - you now have a full flask. Old mine: go to the mine (bottom of the screen), on the left at the entrance you will find a large shell, inside the mine you will find an old chisel on a box on the right and it is not clear what is made of unknown material. Get out of the mine into fresh air. The other side of the beach: Cross to the other side along the bridge. Find a rag and rotten wood near some pile of something to the left. Go to the graves and look at them: Ariana talks about the encyclopedia on the computer, point the computer at the grave of Ivan Platonov, read about him: mmm-yes, the dates don’t match. The inscription on the other grave is difficult to read: then you need to clean it! Mix the cleaning liquid and a rag: you get a wet rag with which you can rub the grave of Armand Latifer until it shines: let’s look at the encyclopedia again and - of course, the dates don’t match. Cave: the left back of the screen will lead you to a cave, go to the ladder and climb it. Put on gloves (one remains), connect the old chisel and rotten wood and scratch out the crystal with them. Approach the device on the right, look and place the crystal on the dressing on the right, click on the bellows, Ariana realizes that she needs to polish the crystal with something. Leave the cave, take the sand near the green bushes. Pour sand into the flask and press the bellows several times. Get polished crystal. Old mine: we go to the old mine. Go to the end to go further, but Ariana is very scared - you know, she’s afraid of the dark. You see a large wheel, go to it, you will find broken wires, armed with gloves you can attach electrical wires here and insulate them with a plaster. Let there be light! Hello those who started reading from here. We go to where it is now light. Ariana says that the seals need to be placed in a certain order. Look at the round door, look at the inscription above the door, read the key to the door: The Occident is the opposite of the Orient. Our story begins as the sun rises. Nature and technology go their separate ways. First the ones whence we come. Then the one that feeds us. Followed by the one we mine. Comes the time of transformation And of famed energy. Finally those who guide us. In general, technology is opposite to nature, our story begins with sunrise, etc. .. I don’t want to go into details and immediately give the solution: rearrange the seals in places around the door: Nature (left) Technology (right) Mother with child Mill Ear Bird in flight Mountain Chemistry-factory Fabric and... Shafts Lightning Wheat and sickle Masks Sea Welcome to the fairy tale!

Observation post: Go to the next picture. Point your computer at a huge mushroom - an unknown variety? No wonder - I've never seen anything like it. Use a knife to dig into the ground and you will find small mushrooms with a strange smell. Now forward to the mushroom with a house on the roof. Go upstairs. Lieutenant Lenkov gets bored for a long time. His friend has broken his leg and needs to be satisfied; get down from the mushroom and go further along the road until you come to a suspension bridge. There is a mushroom stump in front of the bridge; use a knife to cut even pieces of the mushroom from the stump. Go back to the lieutenant and teach him a little medicine. Now that the leg is bandaged, the lieutenant will stand and watch as you repair the Horn. Hello, those who started reading from here. The horn for calling the pterodactyl is damaged, so there is no one to take the broken leg. Use a lighter to make a hard edge from a sharp bone. A solid tap will make a finished sink from a large sink. Now let's walk to the cave in the first camp to take the furs (2 clicks). They cannot be taken until the lieutenant asks you to repair the Horn. We go to Rog and get a mail. Look at the horn and place the finished shell and bellows. Let's chat with the lieutenant. Ay! I saw a pterodactyl! The lieutenant flies away and you can now profit from what is on his table: a map (read it), gunpowder, a machete and some wires on a chair. Well, shall we go to the bridge? Adam's Hut: after crossing the bridge and reading the email, check the animal skulls with your computer, stop being surprised. Talk to Adam about everything; we were invited home. There is an amulet hanging in the doorway where the books are; further inside, notice the eggs under the lamp, from the table we take pieces of wood and a book, which we read with great interest. There is a vase on the table, it would be interesting to throw something into it, let's throw small mushrooms with a strange smell into it. Oh! Magic lamp! There is a closed chest on the floor which, of course, you need to climb into. We connect the pieces of wood and the amulet. We have the key to the chest in our hands. Click on the key and in front of you is a riddle that you can solve without me. Open the chest: computer on the bust, take two letters, read with pleasure. When leaving, don't forget to grab some paint from another table. Savannah: we go further to the left, there is a bridge again. We receive a message. At the end of the bridge we climb down the rope ladder. We walk until the ferns block the road. It's up to the machete, we cut through and immediately take a large sheet. What do we see? Big dinosaur. We will fight him not with brute force, but with our heads. We go to the right, we see a broken tree empty inside. We will make fireworks to scare the stupid dinosaur. Place a large sheet on the stump, then paint, gunpowder and wrap everything with wire. Light it with a lighter. The stupid dinosaur was scared of you. Go ahead. There is a wheelbarrow with a wheel for a squirrel. Poor little dinosaur trying to get some fruit from the tree. We use the dinosaur as a squirrel, pick a fruit from the tree, the dinosaur will run after you like a dog (you can run back and forth). We press the wheels on the left and open the wheel (how glad I am that the pilot was saved), put the fruit there, and go to unknown lands.

TOWN OF ASKIAM

Gate: read the news, talk with Osin. He gives you a pass to the city and does not forget to ask you to repair his camera in the tower next to the door to which the key is attached; repairing requires grease and some kind of hardware. War? We go to the tower to the left, open it with the key. We look at the table, read the instructions on the wall. Take the photo paper, the switch will give you a red light, put the photo paper under the developer, switch the developer, the photos start to develop. Switch the developer again, take and place the photos in the liquid on the left, then up and to the right. Look at the photographs that are drying: you are being followed. We'll figure out. We leave and go into the city. We chat for a long time with Wallace, tickets for altimonorail and a pass to the archives appear in our inventory. Read the posters with your computer. Go to the city, don’t scold your mouse (while I was playing, Adriana 5-6 times went into places that she couldn’t get out of, despite all my efforts). Communications Center: Go left to the Communications Center. Come in and notice that the clock is standing. Now you can talk to Figaro on the microphone, he will invite you to his place. We go through the doors, then the doors to the left, which are open. Examine the posters, go left and talk to Enrico, he will give you the Projection Key and Tape #218. Let's go watch a movie. Go back to the corridor, directly opposite to the room that is closed and opens with Enrico's key. Read the note on the shelves, the poster on the wall. Take ribbon #218 and click it on the spotlight. Watch scenes from World War 2. We go back to the room where Enrique is. In the middle of it there is an elevator that will take you to Figaro. He also lacks something - energy, the coordinates have been changed, so the energy does not flow. We go back down. On the left side of the window are formulas that the computer will solve. Now you have the correct coordinates: 6283, 1667, 5483, 2092. Let's go upstairs and enter the coordinates into the panel, if you entered them correctly, you will automatically exit the panel. Notice the pliers on the floor on the right. Tell Figaro that the work is done, not only did he do the calculations, but he also wants to send a telegram. For this, he allows you to recharge the computer. Go to Enrico and tell him about the telegram. We've done some work here, let's move on. We leave the building and go right along the road, right again to the intersection. Crossroads: you are at the fountain, go to the Triceratops, pet it. There is a man standing on the street, his name is Hercules, meet him. Of course he's missing something: eggs. The next caravan to the mine is in three months. He lets you hang out in his store. We go in and immediately go to the cash register, take recipe codes and empty recipe cards. We read the recipe book, press the button under the cash register, go to the aquarium. The wall near the aquarium has a secret door that we opened with a button under the cash register. Let's go inside. Bah! Look who's here! Adam! There is a note on the table in front of Adam, read it - it says about biocardamom. Let's talk to an old acquaintance, he needs Hanagra Sil. Play with the Triceratops hologram. On the table nearby you will find a needle. Let's talk to Adam about the hologram and tetelogram. Let's go from here to where the cash register is, the clock on the wall is 0.75 seconds faster. We leave the store. The road to the left goes to the pharmacy. Talk to Armanda Grunfield, you really are a taciturn rat. In your inventory, click the needle on the cards, look in the recipe book and make a recipe for Adam (Hanagra Sil). Try to push the recipe onto Armande, you can’t fool an old sparrow with chaff. Talk about biocardamom, she'll go to university to get it. While she's gone, let's steal a little. Actually, the recipe card that you have sticks into where Ariana is now standing, so move it a little to the left and you will see a slot. Insert the card, pull the lever to the left of the wheel and, voila, take Hanagra Sil. Let's take this to Adam, for which he will give you an aerodynamic map. Read it and go down the screen to the bazaar to look for parts to fix Osin’s camera. Bazaar: As soon as you enter, go straight to the watch shop, there you will find lubricant and old dinosaur skin. Go left and meet the local Chkalov. He also needs repairs - we need to go to the Academy. To do this, go left to that part of the bazaar that is not visible at the entrance. Go to the tower, we're going to the Academy. Academy: go to the stairs, go up, go in. I’ll say right away that there are only 3 doors: the exit, the entrance to the laboratory and the entrance to the archive. Go left to the laboratory, talk to Armande, while she’s here you won’t steal anything. We go to the archive to the right - you have a pass there. Let's chat with Wallace and the handsome Alexander, the rector of the university. They leave and we go to the table and read two books about Giants! And some kind of light. Take tape #254 and go to the machine on the right, pull the lever, dig a hole for Wallace. Armanda has already left, so we can go to the laboratory. Here on the table we find a sheet of iron and a file with which we can immediately sharpen this sheet of iron. To the left of the screen we go to some kind of generator, where we will find a bottle of helium on the floor. Well, we have nothing else to do here, let's go to the Communication Center to watch a movie. Let's wrap it up: let's watch the film in the already familiar projection room: someone doesn't like us, we're so cute. Let's go fix Osin's camera now. We go into the tower, put in a turned sheet of iron, then we lubricate the camera and it is ready. Of course, we need to tell Osin about our exploits so that he will let us leave the city. And outside the city we will go for eggs for Hercules, and we will take these eggs from Adam’s hut. The path there is familiar - over the seas and over the waves, along potholes and paths. Take the eggs and go to Hercules. He will tell you about the pilot Gustav and about the giants. Let's go fix the balloon. Let's talk to Gustav again, he needs an aerodynamic map. Click on Gustav's car, see the hole in the pipe? You need to cover it with old dinosaur skin, place a bottle of helium on the small tube on top, insert the aerodynamics map onto the panel above the levers. Go?

NEAR THE VOLCANO

We meet a hermit. We talk to him. He asks to find him a new crystal for his staff. Near the old cart we select the tip of the bone. We collect water from the river into an empty flask. We go to the mine (down). At the entrance to it we pick up a huge shell from the ground.

We go into the mine. Let's look around. Taking a chisel and seals with us, we return to the bridge.

We cross the bridge to the other side of the river. We pick up a piece of petrified wood. We read the inscription on the tombstone. Using a computer, we are trying to find out information about the scientist buried here. Please note that the dates of life do not coincide. We select a rag. We apply cleaner to it - we get a wet rag. We clean the second tombstone with it. We look for information on the computer again. We go to the cave with crystals.

CAVE WITH CRYSTALS

We are trying to move deeper into the mine. Ariana warns that it's too dark there and that a lighter won't help. We go to the transformer (high on the left). We use the gloves from inventory again. We connect the pieces of wires and fasten them with adhesive tape (take it from the helicopter first aid kit). The transformer is working! We can move on. We approach the door, read the inscription above it. It turns out that in order to open the door, you need to place the signets correctly. Arranged in the following order (from left to right): Mother with Child (1.4.); Spike (1.3.); Mountain (2.1.); Spinning Wheel (1.2); Lightning (3.1.); Masks (3.4.); Sea (1.1.); Sickle and Wheat (2.3.); Mechanical Wheels (2.2.); Chemistry (3.3.); Bird (3.2.); Mill (2.1.).
* The location of the signet in a 3x4 square is indicated in brackets (1st number - vertically, 2nd - horizontally).
