Altered Destiny

HINTS

Problem	Hint
FLOATING VILLAGE
Problem: Will I ever get back to see Trudy?	You will be reunited with Trudy when you overcome Helmar and the Jewel of Light is returned to its proper place.
How can I get down from the Floating Village?	No, take the small floater.
Hey, there's another floating island! How do I get over there?	Stand on the far east rock ledge at Land's End and a transporter will arrive.
I keep getting this sinking feeling when I step on the transporter.	You're carrying too much. Lighten your load before you step on the transporter.
How can I take the frags from Tentro's shop?	Point the golden tube at the frags.
I've brought Vindah the requested wildlife, but he's not divining. Now what?	You also need to bring the pomenta leaf frm the Bottom of the Hill in the Forest of Dreams.
WEIRD WOODS
How can I prevent the Hoppa from sprinkling me?	Maybe being sprinkled is a good thing, sooner or later.
I've heard of living in harmony with nature, but this is a bit much. How do I keep from "taking root"?	Eat the defoil herb from the Canyons of Fear.
Where is the Indella bird hiding?	Stand by the web in Tree Base. Climb up. Travel around. You'll know it when you see it.
Where can i get a bird-holding device?	Ask Alnar to make a cage for you.
I've got a great place to put the bird, but the bird won't come within reach. Now what?	Set the trap, then bait the cage with wither the popcorn or the bottle of pigment from Tentro's Shop.
FOREST OF DREAMS
What is it that the chief pomenta plant wants from me?	Are you reading all the clues just for the heck of it? There is no chief pomenta plant.
All this walking is making me tired. Isn't there somewhere I could get some rest?	Sleep in the hammock.
I keep snoozing. What's the point?	Dream.
What are those arcane symbols in P.J.'s dream? Is it some kind of ancient, iconic code?	You'd better pay attention to Vindah's message at the end.
This pit looks pretty interesting. Can I stick around?	Wake up while you're at the Boiling Pits.
I keep taking my last gasp in the green mist. Help!	Push the rocks By a Cliff Edge. Climb down.
That poor, sobbing creature! How can I help her?	Cut the trees with a sharp instrument from Alnar's. Now you can walk between them, if you're careful.
I want to get back to reality!	Retrace your steps. Sleep, then wake up when you're back in the Forest of Dreams.
ORDER OF THE JEWEL
This is avery exclusive group! How do I enter?	When the golden tube is holding the frags from Tentro's shop, point it at the plate.
Lantra seems stubborn about giving away her possessions.	Bring Lantra some water and she will give you her pouches.
I've seen lots of what Lantra needs but I don't have anything in which to carry it.	Fill the seed shell with water.
I'm not able to make a scroll.	Ask Towhee for the scroll.
The scrollworms are taking my leaf. How can I stop them?	There is no secret cave. Listen, you're reading the hints just to see what they say. We've talked about this before.
What good is this small pouch?	Drop the small pouch anywhere in the Order of the Jewel and take the round crystal that grows from it.
I got the scroll from Towhee. But it doesn't contain the horticultural information I need.	Give the round crystal to Towhee.
The Guardian of The Order really burns me up.	When the golden tube is holding the frags, point it at the plate inside the Order of the Jewel. The Guardian will let you pass.
CANYONS OF FEAR
The wraiths keep overwhelming me. How can I defeat them?	Don't move until the wariths have solidified.
What can I use to take away some slime?	Fill the empty bowl with the slime.
I see an interesting plant, but I can't take it.	Towhee, in The Order of The Jewel, has a scroll about the defoil herb. Read the scroll and you will be able to take the herb.
I can't reach the arrow.	Stand by the toes of the Yula's hind foot. Climb up and then walk across the webs.
A horde of ravenous scavengers keep putting a damper on my day.	Drop anything you don't want the Kleegs to mess with in any other scene. Retrieve your inventory when you're done here.
That Kleeg really upsets my balance. What can I do?	Drop the bowl of popcorn before you begin the climb.
CAVES OF DEATH
An axe-wielding bad guy keeps killing me. How can I win?	Once combat begins, move straight towards the aRRaRRa until the creature falls off the platform.
I'm using a finely crafted blade, but the aRRaRRa isn't getting the point.	Wield the axe to combat the aRRaRRa
Where is the switch that turns off the light?	There is no switch to turn off the light.
I'm suspended over the pool. How can I leave?	Oh yeah, Make sure you've been sprinkled by the Hoppa first so that you thrive in the intense light.
Well, here I am On The Stairs. But there appears to be no exit.	Walk to the stairs at the bottom right. An extension will appear that leads to the next area.
The clamchops like me all too well.	Walk across the bridge.
How can I continue beyond the floating floor?	Step on squares that have only one or four circles on them until you reach the square that has no circles.
I keep withering away in the dark.	Eat the defoil herb from teh Canyons of Fear before stepping into the Pool of Darkness.
HOWLER LAKE
I don't have the foggiest idea how to keep the Howlers from killing me.	Before you go to Howler Lake, turn on the silencer that JonQuah gives you in the Caves of Death.
How can I get from the causeway to the isalnd?	Signal with the mirror, then ride the Boteman to the isalnd.
CASTLE ISLAND
These noisomes are deathly annoying.	Squeeze the Kleeg from the Canyons of Fear.
Geez, I just don't react well to the purple blobs.	Avoid brushing into the purple blobs while walking.
The leech trees want more than I can give. What can I do?	Pour the slime from the Canyons of Fear on P.J.
The front door of the castle is locked!	Unlock teh door with the arrow from the Canyons of Fear.
INSIDE THE CASTLE
Is this a one-room castle?	Pull on the rope to start on your explorations.
I don't even have a chance against Helmar.	As you go by the first door in the crystal shaft, jump.
An amazing maze. How do I find my way out?	Follow the Indella bird's instructions. Go east, east, east then north, through the middle, "solid" wall.
I've got a shot, but I still lose this most important confrontation with Helmar.	Choose the mirror to show Helmar the face of his own evil.

COMPLETE SOLUTION

Note that anything written in CAPITAL LETTERS indicates a command that you must actually type. (The game, though, recognizes any combination of upper/lower case letters when you type a command).

Following this, stricltly "chronological" order, solution may result in your missing out on some aspects of the game not necessary to completion. So for maximum enjoyment I'd recommend that you, whilst following these instructions, also explore on your own.

Also remember that in order to complete the game, you will have to guide P.J. through some scenes more than once - hence, you will find certain scenes listed several times. Thus, if you want the "solution" to a particular scene, be sure to check thoroughly for all references to that scene.

MAPS and NOTES

Before you shout, "Eureka! Maps!" and go flipping like a maniac through them, heed this warning: While maps do in fact display all of the "passageways" from scene to scene, they do not indicate places where you must do something special in order to successfully negotiate a passageway.

In other words: Some passageways in Altered Destiny open only under special circumstances.

So if a map tells you a passageway exists, but your gameplay won't reveal it, then it's possible you are missing an important object. Or you have not yet performed a necessary action. Or something like that. If you're really stuck, look at the solution section above for ultimate answers.

NOTE: Sorry about the poor quality of these maps.
