The Book of Unwritten Tales 1 Chapter 4 part 2

If you have found this walkthrough via google search or via another site then you have probably not visited my site.

Talk to the crying bride again and ask her again "What was that about the shield again?".

However, the whining bride still won't tell where the shield is hidden, she first wants to hear something from her groom Maximilian. Tell ther to go to the hell.....eh...say hello or goodbey....Stay here and open the inventory. Nate really doesn't know where that Maximilian is and to be honest he doesn't give a fuck either. So we have to cheat the whining bitch. . In inventory, combine the Feather with the poster / sheet of paper that you took from the gate of the Orc camp.

Nate wants to write a fake love letter on the poster, supposedly from Maximilian ..... You must "compose" the letter from the options you get. Click successively on "High-born Miss", "The voices! All those terible, terible voices!", "Fate kicked in, in a brutal fashion", "With considerable headaches and a strange taste on the tongue", "......a malign curse binds me to these waters" .....Nate writes the letter and it ends up in inventory. Take the love letter from inventory and give it to the crying bride .....

However, the bride is not crazy because she refuses the letter because she cannot see that the letter was really written by Maximilian. The letter must have the seal by Maximilian. Go to the front room. The stone angel is holding a burning candle and wax is dripping from the candle. Take the love letter from inventory and click it on the burning candle to seal the letter with candle wax.

Return to the crying bride. Click with your magnifying glass on the right sarcophagus, where the bride is sitting against. Nate tells that the sarcophagus contains an ancestor of that Maximilian. Look a the stone statue lying on the sarcophagus. The statue wears a Signet ring. Look at the Signet ring. Then click with the love letter on the Signet ring to get Maximilian's stamp on the letter.

Give the now sealed letter to the bride. The whining bride now accepts the letter and she is very happy with it. Bride now tells that Maximilian's shield was taken by a big fat Ogre, a boogyman. That Ogre lives in a cave. Open the map. At the top left of the map you see a cave with a figure with 2 heads in front of it .... that is the Ogre cave, so click on it with the door cursor and Nate ends up at the:

On the arrival screen move Nate further to the right and.......Nate will arrive in front of the cave entrance and there are all sorts of things against the rocks. Look at that mess with your magnifying glass. The Ogre calls out what you are doing and Nate walks on by itself and meet the Ogre.....The "beast" has 2 heads...it even has 2 personalities. The right head is Zloff and the left head is Zloff's half brother Blout. Zloff is reading in a book.

There is a bowl of food on the floor in front of the 2 goofballs. Look at the bowl of food.....Hey....it's not a bowl, it's a shield and probably Maximilian's shield. A club leans to the right of Zloff. Click with your magnifying glass on the club. Zloff squeaks again that you must keep your hands off their stuff and to fuck off. Go talk to the Ogre and use all options..........

Blout screams that he is very hungry and Zloff says that Blout hasn't eaten anything in half an hour. Say "That's an interesting plate you've got there". Blout only screams that he is hungry and Zloff says that Blout can only eat when he has finished his book. Ask "Could I maybe have the plate?"......Oh...no....the shield is Blout's favorite "bowl" and he won't give it away. If you have gone through all conversation options, this conversation will end automatically. Now you can talk to Blout or Zloff separately. Now talk to Blout and use all the options you get again .....

We are told by Blout that Zloff likes strong cocktails, but gets drunk quickly. Blout himself doesn't get drunk that easily. Nate suggests that Blout get Zloff drunk so that Blout can satisfy his hunger, because Zloff will then stop reading. We hear from Blout that a cocktail for Zloff consists of strong alcohol with an umbrella. Blout now also has given Nate permission to search the stuff of the two weirdos for ingredients for preparing a cocktail.

There is a cupboard in the cave. look at the cupboard .... Zloff protests again but is now overruled by Blout.

Nate now walks to the cupboard ... .click with your wrench on the cupboard.....

Nate opens the cupboard and takes out a cocktail umbrella. On top of the cabinet is a cocktail glass ..... look at the glass and then take the glass

To the left of the cupboard is a sack. Look at he sack and then click on it with the wrench. The sack is full of rotting and fermenting apples .... take the sack

In front of the cave, there is a lot of rubbish including a rubber hose. Look at the hose and then put the thing in your inventory.

Travel back to the Crypt via the floor plan map and then continue to the right, to the:

Take the sack of rotting apples from inventory and click it on the orange press to pour the apples into the press ..

I assume you've taken the rotten planks here before. if not, grab those planks now.

The large cooking pot hangs above the Shaman's fire ..... It is a steam cooking pot ...... There is an opening in the lid ....

Take the rubber hose from inventory and put the hose in the opening of the pot lid.

The fermenting apple juice is distilled in the pot to a weak alcohol, but Nate says he needs to distill it again to get a strong alcohol. So open the pot again and empty the cup back into it ..... after this 2nd distillation, the cup will contain strong alcohol. But it is still not strong enough for an Ogre, so repeat this distillation process a 3rd time and .... you then have a cup of alcohol at Ogre strength. Now travel back to our 2 friendly Ogres, via the map:

Nate ends up a little before the cave again. Just before all the junk in front of the rocks. T to the left of those rocks there is a gap between the rocks .....

Look at that gap and then put the rotten boards over the hole and listen to Nate....

......the rotten planks can't support much weight, so watch out that Nate doesn't end up on them.

Continue to the Ogre. In inventory combine the cup of alcohol with the cocktail glass and then also put the umbrella in it.

Blout takes the glass to offer it to Zloff, but Zloff is not stupid and suspects a ruse to get him drunk so that he stops reading. Blout gets angry and throws the alcohol in Zloff's eyes, who promptly can no longer read. Blout feasts on the food on the shield but after this he is still hungry and he wants to hunt

Talk to Blout and ask everything you can ask again ..... Blout hunts everything that moves and of course he still doesn't want to give up the shield. In inventory, combine the spool of rope with the pink pom-pom and then take this combo from inventory and click it on Boult to lure him, and of course Zloff, to the rotten planks and ...... Well .... .the planks can't hold the weight of the Ogre and they crash down. Walk to the cave and now finally grab the Shield....

The shield can also talk and it starts a chat with Max, the helmet. Travel back to the Crypt via the map:

So Nate ends up back at Paladijn's encampment, where Esthertje's head is still impaled on the stake.

Paladin has disappeared, so now nothing prevents Nate from releasing poor Esther from the stake.

Esther's body is currently being used by Gulliver's head. Walk to Gulliver and put Esther's head on her own body and ....

Esther becomes complete again.....an emotional moment follows between Esther and Gulliver....it is love at first sight.....and then.... .well.....Gulliver now desperately needs a body of his own and he promises Nate an armor if he manages to arrange a body for him. Let's just start with:

In inventory, combine the broken bellows with the glue pot to smear glue on the bellows.

Then combine the glued bellows with the piece of leather, you took from the sarcophagus, to close the hole in the bellows.

Gulliver is happy with his new lung...now a heart. Talk to Gulliver and tell him "I just can't find a heart anywhere".....and.....well......Esther solves this problem because she gives her own heart to Gulliver and ..... the 2 lovebirds then disappear outside to turn on an antenna. Also go outside and speak to Gulliver again ...... Gulliver and Esther are waiting for lightning to hit the antenna to activate Gulliver's new body. Unfortunately, they can wait a long time because ,thunderclouds are nowhere to be seenin the sky. So Nate will have to make sure that there will be a thunderstorm ..... luckily the game has a Shaman, who can summon the rain. So now go back to the Tipi of the Shaman

Talk to Shaman and ...... Nate says that the sleepwalking potion worked perfectly. Shaman needs spirit mushrooms to contact his ancestors and asks Nate to pick some of those mushrooms for him. Ask "What do I get for it?".....well.....no mushrooms then no more help from Shaman. Go back to Gulliver / Esther at the Crypt and ask him about the ghost mushrooms via "Are you familiar with ghost mushrooms?".....Ghost mushrooms are small purple-colored mushrooms with green dots and Shaman obtains them from the Chief. Say hello and go back into the crypt and talk to the Chief and ask him about the mushrooms via "I'm looking for ghost mushrooms. You know where I can find any around here?" Unfortunately the stock of ghost mushrooms has run out will only be available again in 2 months.

Well....Nate can't wait 2 months for fresh mushrooms to grow. There is no other option than to manufacture ghost mushrooms yourself. To be able to make ghost mushrooms you need the following items.....a white mushroom, which you picked from the dead tree. The heap of red soil, taken near the crypt, blue flowers, which you picked from the garbage heap at the Orc camp and finally Yellow paint, which you took in the front room of the crypt from the work table. If you do not have one or more of these items, you need to collect them now.

Go back to Shaman. Back in the shaman tent, throw the blue flowers in the large mortar and ......

Nate grinds the flowers into blue paint. Throw the red earth into the mortar and .... Nate grinds the red earth into red powder. Go back to the Crypt and re-enter. Continue to the back room. The crying bride sat against the right sarcophagus ..... now that the bride has disappeared you see that there is a pool of bridal tears against the right sarcophagus ..... Look at the pool of tears. Then take the red powder from inventory and put the powder in the puddle of tears and ........ you then have red paint.

In inventory, combine the blue paint with the red paint to purple paint. Combine the white mushroom with the purple paint and you have a purple mushroom .... It still needs green dots on it ..... combine the yellow paint with the blue paint into green paint. Then combine the green paint with the purple mushroom to put green dots on it ..... you now have a purple mushroom with green dots ..... but the thing does not smell like a ghost mushroom yet. Go outside and talk to Gulliver again and ask him "These mushrooms ought to smell moldy and rotten...." and......well...

Esther then solves the problem in her own way and your mushroom is then a fake ghost mushroom. Now back to Shaman and give the mushroom to him and then talk to him and say "You're a rainmaker....Can't you arrange for a storm over there at the crypt?" and ...... Shaman has his reservations but he gives Nate a piece of paper with the dance for the Lightning Dance on it. If Nate dances the dance he will offend the gods and they will make it lightning. Back to the Crypt:

The Rain Dance:

This is a very frustrating minigame

Stand on the path in front of the dead tree. Left click in inventory then on the Dance Paper and ....

Nate stands in the right place and the minigame starts. There is now a long scroll on the right of your screen ..... To successfully perform the dance you now have to press two of your arrow keys on your press the keyboard .... On the paper you see 2 green braces and 2 arrow keys in different combinations .......

The paper scrolls down ..... The moment a key combination appears between the 2 green braces, you have to quickly press those 2 keys on your keyboard AT THE SAME TIME ....... You have to be quick .... if the keys, between the braces turn red, you were too slow ..... You have to do this a number of times .... whenever you have the 2 arrow keys green, a red cross appears at the bottom of the paper

If the keys on the paper, between the curly braces, become green, then it is good .......

You can go wrong 2 or 3 times but not too often .... if you don't manage to get Nate to dance in the right way, he will stop and you have to start the dance all over again ...... well ...... good luck with it ..... because it goes really fast. If you manage to successfully complete this dance, Nate, Esther and Gulliver will be struck by lightning and Gulliver will have a body of its own again. Gulliver and Esthertje then disappear back into the Crypt and Nate will stand up by itself.

NB: This lightning / rain dance minigame is a shitty puzzle......it's almost impossible to get through it if you can't react so quickly with your eyes and your fingers.....When I played the game in 2015 and made the Dutch walkthrough, it took me hours to successfully get through this mini game and of course I immediately saved my game at this point.

For several years I have kept this save so that if I ever play this game again I good skip this shitty mini-game, but unfortunately I have lost this SAVED GAME. Now in 2023 I can't get this mini-game done because it goes too fast and I'm just too slow now that I'm so much older. So I'm sorry.....but this is where the game ends for me now, so the rest of this walkthrough is just my English translation of my Dutch walkthrough from 2015 with screenshots from that Dutch walkthrough

If you do have managed to get this Rain Dance done then follow Gulliver and Esther back into the Crypte and ...... cut scene.....

Gulliver lies blissfully in Esther's arms, enjoying his brand new body. After some insistence on Nate's part, Gulliver tells that the Armor is in the grave. However, the Sword is located in the Fire Mountain, a volcano with a dwarf mine, but where a dragon has now taken up residence. Nate then opens the grave, near the chief, and takes out the armor and, after polishing it, puts it on immediately. The armor turns out to be a steel knight's vest, a so-called chainmail vest.

So on to the sword. Open the map and then click the door cursor on the Fire Mountain, it's the location on the right side of the map:

Nate immediately ends up in the volcano and with the Dragon. It turns out to be a female dragon and it is the "transport dragon" on which MacGuffin was kidnapped. Little dragon girl no longer wants to be a transport dragon, she wants to be a real fire-breathing dragon, a dragon feared by everyone.

It is Ivo who brought the dragon to feminist thought and why she want to resigned as a transport dragon to become a dangerous and feared dragon. Unfortunately, it is not that easy for a female dragon to become a feared fire dragon. In the manual that she reads it says that she must eat virgins, breathe fire, pierce an armor and collect a lot of gold. When Nate asks about the sword then the dragon wants to fight for it. Nate don't want this, so say you don't want to fight. Say that the manuel is out of date.....Nate then offer a trade....1 gold coin for the sword and the dragon agrees.

Nate has to score a gold coin. Look around you. Above the lava lake hangs a large metal dragon, without a head, and the thing serves as a basin for the lava. The metal dragon has no head, where the head should stick to the neck you see an opening .... look at that opening 2 times with your magnifying glass .... without a head, the lava from the basin cannot enter the funnel of the main oven.

Look at the Furnace, which is now at room temperature, but that is not hot enough. There is a device against the oven .... look at that device ...... it is a coin press to press copper, silver or gold coins. At the bottom of your screen is an Anvil and Pliers on it. There is also a blacksmith's hammer leaning against the anvil .... look at the anvil, the pliers and the hammer. To the left of the anvil is a stone cistern ... look at the stone cistern. At the very bottom left, near the barrel, is a pile of round stones. Llook at the pile of round stones. Once you've examined everything extensively through your magnifying glass cursor, and heard Nate's commentary on everything, you can start collecting some items. Take a stone from the heap of stones. Take the pliers from the anvil

Place the round stone on the anvil. Take the blacksmith hammer and immediately take the thing out of inventory and use the hammer on the anvil .........

Nate smashes the stone into pieces with the huge hammer and says that there are glittering crystals in the stone and you will automatically have half a stone with crystals in inventory. Now think back atthe pixies in the pixie mine. When you were in the mine you saw, at the altar, a pixie who was cleaning a dragon's head ...... well .... that dragon's head needs to be hang here on the neck of the metal dragon. Pixies love glittery stones, so maybe Nate can trade half the glitter stone for the dragon's head. So now travel back to the:

Nate ends up back at the entrance of the mine and has to go through the corridors / room to the altar room again. But Nate is now allowed to walk freely through the mine. So go back into the mine and keep walking up until you are back in the room where you detonated the dynamite. In that room, click the door cursor in the upper right corridor, to end up in the corridor above the altar again. Then click the door cursor in the doorway on the right to end up at the altar below. The pixie is still brushing the dragon's head. Give the half stone with crystals to the pixie and ...... the pixie is very happy with the stone and walks away triumphantly. So now grab the dragon head.

Also steal some sacrificial stones, which are on the right of the altar. Nate steals a gold nugget from the altar, despite the protest of the helmet.

Place the stone dragon head on the neck of the metal dragon. There are 2 chains hanging from the neck of the metal dragon.

Click with your magnifying glass on the right-hand chain (hatch) and listen to what Nate says ....

Nate opens a shut-off valve so that the lava now flows through the neck and the head into the funnel of the oven, which is now very hot.

Below the tube, where the funnel sticks out, is a stone cup .... take the stone cup.

In inventory, put the gold nugget in the stone cup and then place the cup in the oven ......

After a few seconds, take the cup out of the oven again with the Pliers .......

.....the cup now contains molten gold. Empty the cup into the coin press and then click on the press with your wrench and ......

Nate operates the press which presses a gold coin which Nate then picks up and puts in his pocket.

Dragon has been on top of the sword all this time and Nate can take the sword himself. Nate walks out of the picture and we hear him rumbling. Nate first finds the head of a pickaxe and then the sword. Unfortunately the sword is broken. Nate complains about this to the dragon, but she says that Nate will have to forge the sword again. Nate then finds a manual for a blacksmith that explains how forging works.

In inventory, open the "Forge Book". Nate reads that only a blacksmith who has reached level 98 can repair a magic sword. So Nate must first practice a bit and hope that he can reach level 98. Nate should start by forging copper pots, but he needs copper for that.

Travel back to the Pixies mine via the map. Walk back into the mine and then up to the cave where you detonated the dynamite. In the cave, at the back wall, is a mine cart. If you didn't take the wooden handle earlier then do this now. Look at the mine cart with your magnifying glass. Nate looks at the wooden handle on the mine cart. Take the wooden handle.

In inventory, combine the wooden handle with the pickaxe head into a complete pickaxe.

Look at the copper ore vein and then mine some copper ore from the wall with the pickaxe ......

Back in the Fire Mountain, put the copper ore in the stone cup and then put the stone cup in the oven.

hen use the Pliers on the oven again to take the cup of hot molten copper out of the oven again. Then empty the cup into the water bowl and

..........you then have a lump of copper in inventory. Place the copper lump on the anvil and ............

Nate goes to work and after a while Nate has forged 98 copper pots and has reached level 98 and is ready for the real thing. Take the broken sword from inventory and place it on the anvil and Nate automatically forges the sword into a whole sword. But the sword still needs to be hardened by dragon fire. Go talk to the Dragon again and say "Could you spit some fire onto the sword?".....unfortunately, the Dragon doesn't know how to spit fire but maybe it will succeed if Nate makes her very very angry? Say the following sentences..."You're stupid...." and then "Dragons like you shouldn't go in for monster training..."......and finish with...."I need your help....." and.......success.....The dragon breathes fire and the sword is hardened. The sword can also talk and is back to his old aggressive self. Nate now has a full set of magical armor and is ready to enter the Orcs' contest. So travel back to the Crypt and then proceed to the:

Continue to the gate ... Ork Corruck is still standing above the gate. Click the talk cursor on Corruck and........
