| Deleted User | Ok, I've reached the Birthstones "puzzle". It didn't work, so I referred to a walkthrough. It says this:
"....Go to the river and click at the bottom of it. Voila, a SUNSTONE.
During your exploration around this forest, you should have found quite a few gems and jewels.
(i.e. Onyx, Topaz, Opal)
Anyhow, the other three birthstones you need are in order: (SUNSTONE) GARNET, TOPAZ, and RUBY."
I have all the needed stones, including the ruby.
The problem - I place the Sunstone - everything's okay. Next I try placing the Garnet, but it just burns! Then I tried trial and error, and for some reason, the Amethyst, which doesn't even appear as a stone that needs to be placed, comes second! then I tried guessing the third, but all other stones just burn.
Any explanation and/or help?

Status : Online | This game has a lot of trial and error "puzzles" in it. The birthstone business may be one of them. Consulting my own walkthru, this worked for me in two games:
Sunstone, Aquamarine, Onyx, and Ruby
Give that a try. If it doesn't work, then the puzzle is definitely random, and you'll have to keep track of the stones and order you try them. Good luck.

| Deleted User | Okay, it was random. I eventually found a new stone that was the third.
But now I'm stuck again! I'm in the cave. Already retrieved Moonstone from the well (using the coin), and got the power of shifting into a purple wisp.
Now, I reached this fiery river. I used the scroll of ice, went north and found an iron key. Now I'm lost. The silly walkthrough:
"Here we are. You're at a river of fire. You sh~~
Now I'm going to let your worry about your inventory.
When you run out of room, drop an item somewhere, but make sure you can
find it at your convenience."

Go to your right two screens. You will be clobbered by a tree.
You will wake up in Zanthia's home."
(my bolding).
This is an exact quote out of the walkthrough.
It starts saying something and then stops ("You sh", and besides, from where "walk to you right two screens"?! Surely not form the *now icy* river cave, as there is no such option.
Sigh...
And thanks for the reply!

Anyway, once you have the key, the next thing is to cross the Chasm of Everfall, since beyond that is the exit from the caves. After you leave the caves, a couple screens beyond is where you get conked on the head.
You cross the chasm as a wisp, and should stay in that form until you've left the caves.

| Deleted User | Wow, I totally forgot about that place! It's right in the beginning, but after so many trial and error - it slipped my mind. (Gosh, the game turned out to be a lot more challenging than I had anticipated).
Thank you a lot Scorpia, for all your help!
