Blight of Elantria

gobhead184
Does anyone one know how to open the puzzlebox found in the tower? :?:

cdutton184
The box is magically protected and can only open one way. You need to go to the top of the tower and THROW PUZZLEBOX off it so it smashes open on the ground below by the Tower door.

Hi, I am new to these games and I am playing Blight of Elantria. I need some help to get started please, I need to find ring for Elf, fix oar to go to on the island, get past the snow wolf to go to ice palace, find spectacles for count, I have salt, pickaxe and a knife.

Also could anybody give me general tips about how to play the games and working things out for myself.

thanks in advance

Carl

Can you tell me where to get that pickaxe and oar? What I found is : dead mouse, knife, copper key, silver crucifix, shield, egg, bag of salt, apple, red crystal.
Also, open the telescope, and give the lens to the count. That solves the spectacles problem.

CARLDUNNINGTON
thanks for info on lense/spectacles Dredanraz.

to get Oar, go to river bank south west of yadda tree and type cross bridge, you will find boat house north and wizards house south.

To get pickaxe give apple to orge who lives in Cave of Xanthos.

Can you give me help on elf's ring, getting past snow wolf?

Where did you get shield, silver crucifix, red crystal, dead mouse, copper key, egg?

Let me know if there is anything else I can help you on?

cheers Carl

dredanraz
Thanks mate. Didn't think of 'Cross bridge' -_-'
Anyway. Open telescope, take lens, give lens to Count. He will offer you the shield.
Go to the windmill and use the knife on the sac. The copper key will fall out. Use the key on the casket in that church at the graveyard. You will find the crucifix. Use the crucifix on the farmer ;)
In that church-place, scare the bats. They will drop the mouse.
Try riding the horse. He will escape toward the temple. Ride him again, he will hit a tree and the egg will fall. Also, use salt on the bowl in the temple ;)

Oh, one more thing, try moving the painting in the gallery in the castle.

CARLDUNNINGTON
thanks buddy

thats loads of tips to keep me going for a while.

Keep in touch and we can help each other out :)

CARLDUNNINGTON
Ok, need help!

I stuck again......

I have bronze key, small ruby, obsidian disc, copper key, dead mouse, oar, shovel, silver crucifix, red crystal, amulet, shield, kinife, pickaxe.

Anyone know how to get past snow wolf?
Know what to do at the ice dragon's palace?
The trapper follows me around but don't know what to do with him?
found sap on yadda tree but dont know what to do with it?
what do I do at Xathos cave? with black sphere etc?
what do I put in the circular indent in the waterfall?

If can share ideas with anybody else playing this game.

cheers Carl :)

dredanraz
You can use broken stuff on the sap. Also, try digging in the graveyard or the avalanche for stuff that might distract the wolf.
Look at the picture in the gallery, it should give you an idea.

CARLDUNNINGTON
thanks mate but you help is quite cryptic and I'm not that clever!!

I tried fixing oar with sap but doesn't work! what am I doing wrong?

I dug up the grave found coffin and skeleton but what next?

picture in gallery is of waterfall, went into waterfall found circular indent but what next?

dug in avalanche found dead goblin but what next?

dredanraz
Well, I was trying not to spoil. Think of what did you find under the painting. After all, the indent is circular (round).
-The syntax is 'Use (item) on sap'
-Try pulling the skeleton. That should rip his leg off.
Also, I have no idea about the trapper, I couldn't get him to follow me.
-Put the ruby in the amulet.
-use oar on boat.

EDIT: Ooh, ooh, something I've just managed to pull off. You can 'steal' the lamp from the wizard. What to do with it, though, I have no idea.

CARLDUNNINGTON
ok I fixed the oar with the sap and got the blue crystal from the ghoul by using crucifix.

still cant get past snow wolf.
dont know what to do with circular indent in waterfall
with dead goblin at avalanche
how to get into the tower
how to get elf ring

i have the following items - bronze key, small ruby, shovel, knife, shield, smulet, silver crucifix, dead mouse, blue crystal, copper key, pickaxe.

any help gratefully accepted!

thanks Carl :)

CARLDUNNINGTON
thanks buddy, only just saw your last post. trapper followed me when I spoke to him after having seen ice dragon, he want to defeat ice dragon but when I go to see ice dragon no idea what to do.

this is the first quest game ive played so still learning all the key words to use!

dredanraz
Fine. I will spoil now. Use the disc on the indent.
You should find an iron key, if I remember correctly. Go to the graveyard, use it on the gate. Open the gate, and enter the crypt
Use the shovel on the sarcophagus. It will break, so go fix it with the sap, come back and do the same again. This time, you should find a corpse. Look at it, and there should be a gold key. That opens the tower. Inside you should find the puzzlebox. As previous posts say, 'throw puzzlebox' when you're at the top. It will break at the bottom, and inside will be the ring.
'pull skeleton' is what you should do. and then take the bone when it comes off. Give the bone to the wolf.

EDIT: Oh. Didnt see that post.

CARLDUNNINGTON
thanks buddy, Im getting there, will let you know when stuck again. done loads more today, let me know if you need help on anything?

I've only recently discovered I was nominated for the XYZZY Awards. Didn't win anything of course but I would like to thank those who did nominate my game whomever you are, thank you very much.

Whats the Snuffbox for?

If you read the gravestones you'll notice that Jonas Leech, farmer, the date of his death has been clawed off. The snuffbox has his initials on it since it's his jacket. It was just a clue that the farmer isn't quite fully dead yet! The snuffbox has no other use in the game.

CARLDUNNINGTON
RE: snuffbox - very clever!

I know I am almost at the end, but I cannot seem to find the battlehorn! I even sneaked a peak at the walkthru and followed, re-followed and re-re-followed the steps. No battlehorn!!! Am I missing something?

Sorry about that! You're the first person in nearly a year to find an error in the Walkthru. I've fixed it now so it can be solved.

You basically should have the gold crown from the hollow in the 'ex-dead' oak tree. Enter the caves, cross the cloud and GIVE CROWN TO GHOST in the Sepulchre tomb. He will offer the Battlehorn. After the TAKE BATTLEHORN in the walkthu section following the rest of it will finish the game.

Oh great, I gave the apple to the HORSE and now have to restart.
That´s exactly what I hated on IFs of the 80´s.
