Stuck with a brush and a net.
Anyone know where the left half of the final amulet is?
Nathanielshaw:
The left half is in the upper drawer in the ship. (There are two drawers that can be opened) Drag the sea creature away from the things in the drawer, and you should be able to get the left half.
Cyberjar88:
Have you entered the cave yet? You can enter it in the right part of the main view. (where you started)
Thanks, now where is the red gem? Do I need the net to get it?
Never mind, I did not realize what happened at first. Thankfully, I did not save after getting the gems.
Just beat it. This is a fantastic game. 4/5 stars. Cannot wait for more from this french team!!
I appear to be stuck relatively late in the game.
The "active" items in my inventory consist of a fish token (used twice), a brush, the left half of something green, a net, and nothing else. I've completed the bridge to the big red gem in front of the octopus, but apparently I need six small gems to unlock it, and don't know where to find them.
I'm stuck in almost the same spot as SonicLover, except that I still haven't located the clue for the "blue fish" door on the big device in the throne room.
Beautiful game though, as were the earlier entries in the series.
The "blue fish" clue...
...can be seen in the background when you're assessing the damage Poseidon did to Atlas.
If you get my drift.
I can't find the clues for the color wheels early in the game.
MtDewed:
Solve the puzzles in the middle and left caverns and you'll find the clue you're looking for.
Good hint, SonicLover! Thanks.
Great game the drawings and music are amazing.
I seem to be stuck in the same place as SonicLover.
Ok I seem to be missing something obvious.
I have
a cap, a wave symbol, a brush, an amulet (together), a net and a compass (opened)
I have solved the left cave puzzle and the center cave puzzle.
I can see there is a 3 number safe puzzle but have no clue
I can see the colour wheels held by the mermaids in the right cave but again have no clue.
Hints are welcome.
I completed it without clues and I'm not good at these things. Difficulties were the very busy cluttered scenes, and because I didn't chose 'easy' so I had to guess what parts of a scene did useful things.
My biggest problems were
one triangle that moves you to another scene I thought pointed me to somewhere I'd been already, but instead pointed to somewhere new
and
there's a particular thing you can use once, then take back and use again.
Actually quite a fun thing to do. I never felt I was being given a boring set of tasks to complete.
@phdavoid:
Hints:
The solution to the color wheels in the right cave is found in the left cave.
The combination to the safe is found much later on.
Now...
Where did you find a compass and the right half of the amulet?
phdavoid (great name):
ignore the cap, net, brush and the safe. You will know when they're useful. Pay attention to any symbols on walls including exactly what they look like.
thanks for the hints, but when i went back to start again, i notice that the inventory could be moved left and right and found my statue again. Its a bit confusing that items are placed in hiding in the inventory when there are clearly many open spots... but i am a bit slow
chipmunk
in the boat there are two drawers that open and it can be difficult to access both. the item you seek are in one of the drawers.
Thanks, I'm not sure how I missed that! Finished!
Once again, a great soundtrack by KrOnsilds. Although the music from Humanoid 47 is still probably my favorite.
I cant find the red fish clue
I can't find that red fish clue either...
The red fish clue is in the right part of the zoomed-in screen where the old man sits before he rescues the mermaid. (with the treasure chest that you can open to obtain the triangular piece)
Nice game. The intricacy of the design is part of the difficulty but I found it's still easy enough to spot what's part of the background and what's of real use (especially since most of the items are found after opening a treasure).
can't wait for the walkthrough :)

Thank you VERY much for your fantastic walkthrough! - Dora
The game is, as are indeed all games by Jo99, simply beautiful, and that makes the headache you get from the visual tidal-wave and overstimulated eye-receptors totally worth it.
But apart from giving the game five mushrooms (or, in this case, Dutch shrooms), I'd also like to give Dora five stars for the excellent oxymoron "hardcore point-and-clicker". For the first time in my life, something I do has been labelled "hardcore". Me like.
Okay. Am I missing something really obvious?
I cannot seem to open the middle drawer on the ship. I can open the top one, but not the middle one?
I figured it out...
Oddly enough, everything was the TOP draw for me, but two separate times??
The art is so beautifully done and the atmospheric sounds are very immersive as well! Although it is very linear the puzzles are nice, which is complemented by relatively straightforward hotpots and the absence of pixel hunting. Very nice composition over all!
