Chapter 2: the city of Askiam:

A: At the City Gate:

Ariane is standing in front of the city of Askiam and the computer wants her attention again. So click on the computer and read the "News Bulletin. June 8". A nuclear war threatens to break out between America and China. Close the computer. To the right of the gate stand a guard. Click with your "talk" cursor on the guard.

Ariane walks over to the guard and starts introducing herself to him. However, that was not necessary. The guard already knew who Ariane is already was expecting her. This security guard's name is Ocine and your conversation options appear. Use all your conversation options and also the new ones that will appear in the list during this conversation.

Ocine talks about the "Great War" that is going on in the "upper world" and he talks about Askiam's "Chief Engineer". That "Chief Engineer" is something like the mayor of the city. Ocine also knows that Ariane is a photographer and he asks her if she can investigate his old camera. Ocine says that Ariane can find the camera in the laboratory of the tower and he gives Ariane the tower door key.

You then have the key in your inventory. When you have exhausted all the conversationoptions, say goodbye to end the conversation. Then click with your arrow in the middle center of the screen. Ariane then walks back a little over the path and she's then in front of the large gate. To the left of the gate is a round tower and there's a door in the tower. Click with your "hand" on the tower door. Ariane walks to it. However, the tower door is locked. Dive into your inventory and take the "Key from the tower" and click it on the door and Ariane goes inside:

Inside the tower:

Photo development puzzle:

There is a table against the wall and in front of the table is an antique camera on a tripod. Click with your computer on the camera and then read about the "Ganz Lux 4" camera in the computer screen. Close the computer screen. The Magnifier is on the table and there are 3 trays of developing fluid. Above the table, newly developed photos hang on a wooden beam. Click on the photos and you will see that they are all photos of Ariane's walk through this strange underground world. Ariane is being spied on. Close this screen and then click with your "hand" on the table and you will get to the close-up of the magnification device.

A note hangs on the wall to the right of the magnification machine. Click on that note with your computer and then read the "User Guide" on your computer screen. It is therefore the manual for developing a photo. On the wall, on the left, you see the light switch with two buttons. To the right of the magnification machine is a stack of photo paper on the table, and in front of this stack is the 1st of the 3 trays. 

Close the computer and close the puzzle screen. Click with your "feet" in the door and Ariane is outside again. You can just see Ocine on the far right. Click with your arrow, not with your "talk" cursor, on Ocine. Ariane then walks back to the big city gate. Now click on the gate and she will enter the city.

B: In the city:

Ariane immediately walks on to the guy on the right. This is Wallace, the Chief Engineer of Askiam.

Use all your conversation options again with Wallace, exhaust them all until nothing is left to ask.

Wallace also talks about the "War" in the upper world. Wallace tells Ariane that it is now March 2007 and that Ariane has been wandering in this strange world for 3 years. But that is not possible, Ariane fell down through the gap 3 days ago and then it was March 2005. During this conversation, the Archives and the Rector are also discussed.  Wallace gives Ariane the "Tickets for the Altimonorail" and the "Pass for the Archives". Both will automatically end up in your inventory. When you have asked Wallace everything, then say hello again. Wallace walks away.

2 large signs hang on the lamppost. Click on both signs with your computer and then read the "Advertisment" and the "History" in your computer screen. Close the computer screen. Go back to the main gate via Bottom Left. Now Ariane has to go further into the city but you will not get the "feet" with which you can do that. At the bottom of your screen there is a fence and at the bottom right there is a lamppost. 

Now just click with your arrow cursor in the lower right corner of this screen and Ariane goes 1 screen to the right and sheis then at the start of the Streets. You can now continue via Bottom Right and Bottom Left. It is possible that Ariane's computer starts sputtering again. Go 1 screen left, through bottom left

You will then see the large communication building. So walk on to that building and then click with your "feet" on the door and Ariane enters the:

Communication building:

Reception room:

Ariane is in the reception room. There is a desk in the corner and a clock is on the wall above the desk. Click on the clock. The clock ticks twice and then stops. The clock is broken. There is a microphone on the desk. Click with "hand" on the desk and Ariane talks into the microphone and she tells someone called Figaro that the clock is broken. Figaro is a busy man and has no time but he invites Ariane to come and visit him in his office. There is a red carpet on the floor. Click with your "feet" on the right end of the red carpet and Ariane will stand in front of a double door. To the left of the door is a poster on the wall. Click on the poster with your computer and then read the "News 01/2007" in your computer screen. Close the computer and click on the double door and Ariane will enter the hallway.

At the bottom of the corridor you see a door on the left and right. 

The right door is the door of the projector room but it is locked, so go through the left door and Ariana enters the:

Communication room:

There are 4 posters on the wall, 2 on the left side of the door and two on the right side of to the door. You can click on 3 of the posters with your computer. Do that, so click on the 3 posters with your computer and then read the "News 02/2007", "News 03/2007" and the "Cruiser" in the computer screen. Close the computer. Then go, through the bottom left, 1 screen deeper into this room and then, via the centre right, a screen to the right.

You see a kind of counter and behind it a guy is busy being busy. In the middle of the room you see the elevator. Click with your "talk" cursor on that guy. Ariane walks over to him and starts a conversation. This is Enrique, the postman and film man of Askiam. Use all your options again.

Enrique gives Ariane a Film reel and the key to the projector room. Both these items will automatically end up in your inventory. When you have asked Enrique everything, end the conversation and go back to the door twice through the bottom right. Go through the door back into the corridor and then click with the "key of the projector room" on the door in the right wall. 

Ariane then ends up in the:

Projector room:

You see the large film projector. Another poster is hanging on the wall behind the film projector. Click with your computer on the poster and read the "War on the surface" item in your computer. Close your computer. On the bottom shelf of the rack is a book and a notepad. Click on that notepad with your computer and then read the "Performance Book" in your computer. Close your computer. Now take the "Film Reel 128" from your inventory and click it on the large film reels of the projector.

Ariane places the film in the projector. Watch the movie  in which you see fragments of World War 2, among other things. When the film has finished, dive into your inventory again. Then place your cursor on that film reel again and click on "Analysis".

The film disappears into your computer. Open your computer and click on "Film". The computer has analyzed the film images and the film indeed contains images from the 2nd World War. Close the computer. Exit the projector room and enter the Communication room again. Go through the bottom left again and then through the middle right through the communication room. Ariane is standing in front of the elevator again. Click with your "hand" on the gate of the elevator and..........

 Ariane takes the elevator down and she ends up in the:

Transport Room:

Coordinate puzzle:

The guy in the blue overall is Figaro. Talk to Figaro and use all your possible conversation options again.

Figaro is responsible for the energy supply of the city and also for the Altimonorail. Unfortunately, the "transmission coordinates" have changed and this means that the city is without energy. These transmission coordinates must be recalculated and then entered in the console. Unfortunately Figaro has forgotten where he left the paper with the old coordinates.

When you have exhausted all your conversation options, you say goodbye to Figaro again and then click your "hand" on the gate of the elevator. Ariane goes up again to the communication room and when you arrive there, click with your arrow at the bottom left of the screen to move one screen to the left. You will see a paper on the front desk.

Click with your "hand" on the paper and Ariane picks it up and puts it in her pocket. Look in your inventory at this "Calculation Sheet". Then click on "Calculate". The paper disappears to your computer. So open your computer and click on "Coordinates" in the computer screen. The new coordinates then appear on the screen, which are: 6283; 1667; 5483; 2092. Close the computer and walk back to the right, to the elevator. Step into the elevator again to go down to Figaro again. 

Back at Figaro you now click on the right part of the large console and you will come to the:

Coordinate input screen:

You must enter the 4 new coordinates here. And you do this from top to bottom. You change the numbers by clicking on the green arrows. So in the upper display you put the number 6283, in the 2nd display the number 1667, in the 3rd display the number 5483 and in the lower display the number 2092.

You will automatically leave this screen whenyou have entered the last digit correctly. Then talk to Figaro again and use the "Repaired" topic. Figaro is grateful to Ariane and she can charges upher laptop and he also asks her if she can send a "Confirmation Telegram". This telegram will then automatically appear in your inventory. 

Say goodbye to Figaro. Open your inventory and use "Read" on the telegram. Your computer will blink, so open your computer and click on "Coordinates Telegram". You will then see the newly entered coordinates. Close the computer and take the elevator back up to the communication room. Go and talk to Enrique again and then use the "Telegram" topic.

Ariane automatically gives the telegram to Enrique and he will send it. Go through the bottom right twice, back through the communication room, to the door and then through the door back into the corridor. Click on the double doors. in the back of the corridor. Ariane is then back in the reception room. Walk a screen to the right, over the red carpet, and then go outside through the front door. We will now take a short walk through the city. From the front door of the communication building you go through a couple of screens, through the bottom center and then bottom left.

You then see a street going left, towards a tower with a gate. Do not go there but click with your "feet" in the middle right of the screen.

Ariane actually goes straight ahead and she comes at the:

Crossing / Square

Stop Ariane when she stand in the middle of the roads. Ariane came from the right. A street goes up to the pet store and then on to the mines. You reach the Town Gate through the street at the bottom of the screen. There is also a street to the left, and it goes to the pharmacy. You are actually here on a square and on the right you see a man standing in front of the "green" building where the pet store is located. In the back of the screen, in front of the mine tower, is a Triceratops with a rider on his back. The Triceratops runs back and forth. 

Wait a moment until the Triceratops comes back to Ariane. Then click with your "talk" cursor on the beast and Ariane then walks towards the beast, past the pet shop. We see that Ariane gives the Triceratops a tap on its nose a few times ........

After this click with your "talk" cursor on the man who stand in front of the "green" house. Ariane walks over to him and she introduces herself again. This is Heracles, the animal dealer and also the antique dealer. The house where he stands for  is his pet shop. Your conversation options will appear, so use them all again.

Heracles has a problem because he no longer has eggs so he can no longer provide his customers with young animals.  Heracles also says that the next caravan going to the diamond mines will leave in 3 months and he gives Ariane permission to enter his store. Heracles also says that, sometimes, he gets his eggs from a guy called Adam.

When you have asked everything there is to ask, you say goodbye to Heracles again. Click with your "hand" on the front door and Ariane enters the:

Pet Shop:

Click "hand" on the counter. Ariane walks behind the counter and you come into the close-up of the counter. The cash register is on the counter and beneath the cash registeryou see a small button in the counter. Don't touch that button now

On the top shelf of counter  is a book and 3 cards. Take the book and then take the 3 cards.View these items in your inventory. The 3 cards are "Blanco punche cards" and the book is a "Recipe Code Book". Click "Read" on this book. The book disappears into your computer. Open your computer and click on "Prescription Code" (you will have to scroll down the list for this). The book appears in your screen. Scroll through the book using the arrow in the lower right. In the book you see an oval with white and black diamonds on every page. So these are the codes for the different recipes that are available at the pharmacy. Close the computer. 

Now click on that button beneath the cash register. You hear "Click" but you see nothing happening. Close this screen and then, via the bottom right, walk into the corner. Ariane is then to the right of the counter in the corner and in front of the aquarium. On the piece of wall, on the left next to Ariane, you now get the "feet".

There is a secret door in this wall and you locked this secret door when you clicked that button under the counter. So click your "feet" on the secret door and Ariane enters the Office and we meet Adam! There is a letter on the corner of the counter. Take the letter.

The letter moves to your inventory. In your inventory you do "Read" on this letter again and then you read the "Heracles Note" in your computer. It is a reminder for an Armanda to order Biocardamone. Close your computer. Talk to Adam now and again use all your conversation options

Adam needs a medicine drink and he cannot brew it himself. However, the pharmacist does not want to give him the medicine. The medicine drink is called "Hanagra or Syl". Adam warns Ariane not to trust anyone and especially not Wallace, the Chief Engineer. Wallace is the one who spread the stories about the "Great War" that rages in the upper world. Say goodbye to Adam when you've used all your options again. Ariane promises to get the medicine drink for Adam.

In the corner of this room, behind Adam, stand a large closet that consists of two parts. In the left part of the closet stand a "half Triceratops". Click with your "hand" in the left part of the closet. You come in close-up. Just in front of the half Triceratops lies  a Needle. Pick up the needle and it will disappear to your inventory.

Close this screen. There's a device in the right part of the closet. Click there with your "hand". In the close-up, click with your "hand" on the button box. This causes a hologram of a Triceratops to appear in the other part.

Click on the button box again to switch off the hologram. Close the screen. Now talk to Adam again and use the "Hologram" topic. Adam says that that hologram is a "Telelogram" and that it can be sent back and forth. Say goodbye to Adam. Go 1 screen back and then click with your "feet" on the door and Ariane is then back in the store. There is a clock on top of the high closet, behind the counter. You can hear the nervous ticking of this clock all the time that you are here in the store. Click on this clock with your computer.

Then open your computer and click on "Askiam's Clock". You learn that time passes faster in this world than in your own world. Every minute passes 0.75 seconds faster here. That explains why it is now 2007 and not 2005. Close your computer. Go through the bottom right and then through the outside door. Ariane is outside again and next to Heracles. G, through the bottom center and then bottom right, back to the crossroad. At the crossroads, click with your arrow on the street that goes to the left. You have to click just behind the lamppost. Ariane walks into that street and we see the first house. The house and  has an open window. You see a woman standing in that open window.

Click with your "feet" on / in that open window and Ariane walks over to it.

The Pharmacy:

Click your "talk" cursor on that woman. This is Armanda Grunsfeld, the pharmacist. Use the "Place" topic. Armanda is not one for vain talk because she asks if Ariane has a recipe. Ariane doesn't have that, so say "No". Conversation has ended.  Ariane needs the recipe for that "Hanagra de Syl" drink. Dive into your computer and then look up that "Prescription Code" book. Scroll through this book again until you reach the page where you see the punch card for the "Hanagra de Syl". Check this code carefully. Draw it over if necesseraly and note which of the diamonds are black.

Then close your computer. Now dive into your inventory and scroll to the right. Pick up the needle and click with the needle on those 3 punch cards. A punch plate will appear large in your screen. Now punch with the needle the 5 diamonds, which must be black according to the code for "Hanagra de Syl". If you do this correctly, the punch card will automatically disappear to your inventory. Then take this punch card from your inventory and click on Armanda with it. Your  options appear again

First place the punch card back in your inventory. Then use the "Prescription" topic Armanda is not crazy, she recognizes Adam's "work" and she refuses to give the medicine. You now get the "Biocardamone" topic, so use it now. Ariane tells Armanda to replenish her stock of this stuff and Armanda says she will go to university later. This takes Ariane too long, so use the "Ticket" topic. Ariane gives Armanda her own ticket and Armanda goes away to the universaty. 

To be able to see everything properly you will have to move Ariane a little to the left and to the right. If you click right next to Ariane, she will take another step to the left or to the right and you can then better view the window counter. To the right of the counter is the "tray carousel" in the wall and IN the counter is a lever on the right. There is a slot under the counter, it's a kind of letterbox. Take the punch card from your inventory again and click it on the slot / letterbox 

Ariane puts the punch card in the slot. Then click on the lever. The trays start rotating and then come to a halt again. Click on the trays of the carousel and Ariane will take out the "Hanagra de Syl" bottle. Go, through the bottom center and then bottom left, back to the crossoad. When Ariane is back at the crossroad, she has to go to the pet store again. To get there you must now click with your "talking" cursor on Heracles. Ariane then walks to Heracles. However, there is nothing to say so immediately say goodbye to Heracles and go back through the door into the pet shop. Walk through the bottom right corner again and go back to Adam through the secret door. Click Adam again with your "talk" cursor and use the "Found Lotion" topic.

Ariane gives the drink to Adam and as a thank you she gets the "Aerial Card". Adam says that with this card she can find the "Giants". Say goodbye to Adam. In your inventory, click "Read" on the aerial map and then look up the "Fly Map" in your computer. View this map. Close the computer.

Leave the office via the bottom right and the door and then leave the pet shop, also via the bottom right and the door. Go back to the crossroad, through the middle and bottom right. When Ariane has reached the crossroad again, click in the lower center of your screen. Ariane then walks down and she comes to stand at the gateway to Market Square. Click your "feet" in the gateway and Ariane walks through the gate and we look at Market Square through the gateway

Market Square:

In the middle of the market square stand a large column with a sculpture and there are a few stalls. Click with your hand on the middle  stall, to the left of the sculpture column. Ariane then walks on to that stall and you are then in the close-up. Get out of the close-up right away

To the left of the stall is a large clock. You now get the "feet" in the bottom left of your screen. Go tthrough the bottom left a screen to the left. You now have an overview of the entire left side of the market square. At the far left you see a hot air balloon. The balloonist is in the basket of the hot air balloon. Click with your "talk" cursor on the balloonist. Ariane walks over to him.

 

Gustav, the balloonist:

This is Gustav, the balloonist. Use all your options again. 

Gustav agree to go ballooning with Ariane. However, there is a problem. 

Gustav needs helium and there is a leak in the main hose. Helium is available at the university. 

Say goodbye to Gustav and go one more screen to the left via the bottom left. You see those 3 stalls again. Click your "hand" on the right-hand stall and Ariane walks over to it again and comes to stand in front of this stall again. Now click your "hand" on the "counter" of this stall. You end up in the close-up.

On the left stand a jar in a pool of blue slurry and in front of that jar is a piece of skin. Grab the Jar and then the piece of Skin. In your inventory you will discover that it is a jar of grease and that the piece of skin is a piece of old dinosaur skin. Close this screen and then click on the bottom right and Ariane walks back to the column. Then click in the lower center to go back through the gate and then click on the right side of the screen to go back to the crossroad

Altimonorail:

Back on the crossroad click with your "feet" on the door of the stone tower, which is in the right-hand corner. it is the tower that stands in front of the pet store. The tower is the entrance of the Market station of  the Altimonorail. Ariane walks over to it and the Altimonorail Map appears in your screen:

Every time you enter an Altimonorail station this Map will appear. Through the map you can then travel to the different stations of the monorail. You do need the "Tickets", but you have them in your inventory now. Click with your "hand" on the "Academy" location. Ariane will ask if you really want to go there. So click again with your "hand" on the Academy location and........... 

 Ariane travels to the Academy with the monorail

Academy:

Walk down a screen. Ariane then stands in front of the dry fountain, that stand in front of the Academy building,  and she has to climb the high stone stairs to the Academy. Click with your "feet" on the right next to the fountain and Ariane goes along the right side of the fountain to the stone stairs. Then click on the stone stairs and Ariane goes upstairs. At the top of the stairs, click on the Glass Door and you enter the:

Round reception hall:

The reception hall is a round hall and you only see a part of it. There are several of those glass doors in this hall. 

At this moment Ariane is standing in front of the exit. Go a screen to the left via the bottom left and you'll see another glass door.

Go through this glass door and you will enter the:

Laboratory:

Armanda, the pharmacist, stand at the table. You get the "hand" on the table and on the upper body of Armanda

So keep your cursor on the lower body of Armanda to get the "talk" cursor. Go talk to Armanda.

"Who are you and what are you doing here," Armanda snarls at Ariane. She doesn't even introduce herself properly. Use the options. Armanda says that she has finished distilling the "Biocardamone" for Heracles and that she will deliver it to Heracles herself . That is good news for Ariane because then at least Armanda will have disappeared here so Ariane can snif around here.

When you're done talking with Armanda go back through the door into the round hall and then go back to the entrance / Exit door. From the entrance you go a screen to the right and you will see a glass door again. Go through this door and you will end up in the:

Archives:

In the Archives Ariane is welcomed by Wallace, who introduces her to Alexander, the Rector of the Academy. Use all your conversation options again. At the end of the conversation, the Rector whispers to Ariane that she must not trust Wallace. The Rector and Wallace leave and Ariane is alone here. Go, through the bottom center, to the desk. In the middle of the desk is a green book and there is also a brown book and a film reel

Click with your computer on the green and brown book. Then grab the Film Reel. Ariane says she wants towatch this movie and it's Film reel 254. Open your computer and scroll down through your list of documents. Then read the "Beliefs and Spirituality" and the "Perpetual Light" books. Close the computer. 

On the right you see a kind of typewriter device. Click on it with your "hand". You come in the close-up of thr device and it is a search engine. The thing has a keyboard. On the back there is a display and on the left a slot with a red light underneath. There is a small lever at the top of the slot. Click on the lever and a paper will come out of this machine. Grab the paper.

Find this paper in your inventory and click on "read". Open your computer and read this "Wallace Reading Choice"paper. On the paper are the things that Wallace has looked up here in the archive. Close the computer. Go back top left to the door and then into the round hall. You now have to go back to the laboratory and you do this by going to the bottom left twice.Then go through the glass door again.

Laboratory:

Armanda has left the laboratory now. On the table is a "File" and an "Iron Plate". 

Click with your "hand" on the table and in the close-up you take that File and that Iron Plate from the table.

Then close this screen and walk further, through the bottom left, to the back. In the back right corner stand an "egg-shaped" machine. There's a door in that thing. Now place your cursor on the floor, right next to Ariane's feet, to get the "feet". Then click with the "feet" and Ariane continues. Ariane is then closer to that "egg-shaped" machine. Now move your cursor along the right edge of your screen. Almost at the bottom right you will get your "Hand".

So click there with your "Hand". Ariane walks to the door of the machine and she bends over and picks up an "Helium Bottle" from the floor. Check in your inventory if you actually have the helium bottle now. Ariane is now now ready here and she wants to watch that movie 254 now. But for that she has to go back to the projector room of the Communication building. So go through the middle center and the door twice, back into the round hall. Then to the right and out through the glass door.

As soon as Ariane comes out of the Academy, her computer starts beeping again. So click on your computer and read the "News Bulletin, June 9". It is another message about the war. Then take this route: bottom center, bottom right, bottom left and again bottom center, to the Altimonorail. Click with your "feet" on the monorail and on the map you click twice on the Communication Center. Ariane travels back there and when she has stepped out of the monorail again, go to the:

Communication Building:

Go in through the front door and back to the Projector Room. In the projector room, take the film 254 from your inventory and click it on the reels of the film projector.. First you will see excerpts from the 2nd WO and then you see Ariane in the transport room. We see Ariane ramming on that big console. Someone is clearly trying to trick Ariane 

Leave the Communication Center and when Ariane is outside again you follow the following route: bottom center, bottom right. You will see the city gate and the big tower again. Now click your "feet" just before Ariane and she continues to the city gate. Go out through the city gate.

Repair Ocine's camera:

Ocine is still standing on guard. Continue to the bottom of the screen and then enter the tower by clicking on the tower door with your "hand". Ocine's camera is still on the tripod in the tower room. Open your inventory and then pick up the File and click it on the Iron Plate. Ariane files a piece from the plate. Take the Iron Plate from your inventory and click it on the camera. Then take the jar of grease from your inventory and also click it on the camera.

Go back outside  and click with your "talk" cursor on Ocine. Use the "Old Camera Repair" topic. 

Ocine is grateful to Ariane and now allows her to leave the city. It is high time to look for those eggs for Heracles.

Eggs for Heracles:

Ariane remembers seeing a crate with white eggs in Adam's cabin. So she has to go back to that now. Walk to the bottom of the screen and on the next screen you click with your arrow at the bottom left. You will see the rail cart again. Click with your "hand" on the rail cart and Ariane lands in one  swoop back at the Hut of Adam

Difference with the original version of the game:

If you do not play the 2014 gog.com version of the game but the original version, you will come across a difference again. In the original versions, Ariane does not end up at Adam's hut in one swoop, but instead she drives the rail cart back to the beginning. Ariane is then next to the rail cart.

From the start of the rail cart you then must follow the route back to Adam's Hut: bottom left, middle left, middle left, bottom left. You are then back on the screen with the deaddino and the hollow tree trunk. Continue through: bottom left, bottom center. Ariane is then back in the Ferns Jungle. Continue via: bottom left, bottom right, click "hand" on the rope ladder.

Ariane climbs up and stands on the suspension bridge again. You will not get the "feet" on this part of the bridge. To make Ariane walk to the right, you must now click with your arrow on the bridge until Ariane is on the next screen. Then continue via: bottom right, bottom right. You now see Adam's hut again

Walk through the center right and then click on the "driveway" between the posts. Ariane walks on to the hut. Enter the hut and walk to the back room. Go to the right side of the back room, where the tables are. On the left table is that crate with the white eggs in it.

Click with your "hand" on the eggs and Ariane grabs the eggs and says that she is ready here. Leave the hut and walk back to the long suspension bridge. Both in the original version and in the 2014 version of the game you now have to walk all the way back to the rail cart. So step back on the suspension bridge. Your computer will scream again, so click your computer and read the new message ......

Follow the bridge further and descend the rope ladder, then walk down 2 screens to the left and step through the ferns again, to the screen where you previously chased away the T-rex at the dead dino. Make sure you walk a number of screens to the right, to the rail cart and get back on the rail cart to drive it back to:

Askiam:

When Ariane has stepped out of the rail cart again, click with your "talking" cursor on Ocine, which is still on guard at the city gate. Ariane then continues to Ocine. Say hello to him right away and click "hand" on the city gate to enter. Then follow the route to the Crossroad. When Ariane is back at the crossroad you click again with your "talking" cursor on Heracles, who is still standing in front of his pet shop. Ariane walks on to Heracles. Use the "Found Eggs" topic.

Heracles is grateful for the eggs and says that Ariane must visit his friend Gustav, the balloonist. Gustav can take Ariane to the Giants. Then use the "Giants" topic. According to Heracles, the Giants are a kind and wise people and perhaps they can help Ariane to go back to the "upper world".

Now go back to the Crossroa and then to Market Square. Continue to the column and then walk to the left until you see Gustav in his balloon again. Click your "talk" cursor on Gustav. Use the "Heracles" topic. Gustav is willing to "sail" Ariane to the Giants with his balloon, but he does need an Aerial Map. Fortunately, Ariane has such a map So use the "Map" topic.
