Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal – Game Introduction

Welcome to the Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal walkthrough on Gamezebo. Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal is an Interactive Adventure/Hidden Object game played on PC, created by Twin Bottles and available at Codeminion. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints, and a strategy guide for how to complete Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal.

General Information

  • From the Start screen, click on Options to adjust the SFX (Sound Effects), Music and Voice volumes. From there you can also turn the Demon’s Comments, Custom Cursor, Full Screen and Panoramic Screen on and off.
  • You can access the unlocked Alchemy, Wizardry and Telepathy Minigames at the bottom of the Start screen.
  • From the Start screen, click on Telekinesis (bottom right) to replay, or restart, a chapter.
  • From the Menu, or by pressing Esc on your keyboard, during the game, you can also access Options and How to play, Save & exit and Play just a little longer.
  • The Hint button (Demon’s Seal) recharges in about 25 seconds and is located at the bottom right.
  • During the Minigames, the Skip button charges in about 60 seconds. It generally takes less time to complete the early Minigames, and your score will be much higher, if you play instead of skipping them.
  • Click on the Zoom icon (magnifying glass), located below the Hint button, or right click anywhere on the screen, to turn on the Zoom feature; right click again, to turn it off.
  • The initial Tutorial will take you through the basic game functions. If you need additional help, click on the Menu button, or press Esc on your keyboard, during the game, then click on How to play.
  • Click anywhere on the screen to progress through the dialogs.
  • Quest Cards (tasks and items to collect) appear at the bottom of the screen. Move your mouse cursor over them to get an expanded image. If you have more than one Quest Card, move your mouse cursor over the yellow arrow, at the left side of the Quest Cards, to expand them.
  • The items you need to find are always the same, however they won’t necessarily be in the same place for each player.

Gameplay Notes

These can be skipped, during gameplay. However, you won’t unlock the bonus Minigames if you skip them or get very low scores.

  • Alchemy: This minigame is for making potions and elixirs. The key is to catch only the blue drops, miss the red drops and not let any blue drops fall to the bottom.
  • Wizardry: This minigame is for casting spells. Click on the runes, in the book, that match the ones, at the bottom, as they scroll through. Try not to let any get all the way to the left and disappear.
  • Telepathy: This minigame is for tuning the crystal balls. This is a “spot the difference,” with a twist. There are only 5 or 6 items to find, however the reception isn’t so good, and clarity fades in and out. Find all the differences to get the best reception, without any mis-clicks.

Game Tips

  • There are a number of “Easter Eggs” (unexpected extras) throughout the game. Enjoy finding them all. The first one occurs on the Start screen – try clicking on any of the Fairies.
  • If you are hearing abled, be sure not to click through the dialog or you’ll miss all of the humor. If you are non-hearing abled, all the dialog is provided in text boxes for each character.
  • Don’t skip the Minigames (Alchemy, Wizardry and Telepathy), and strive to get the best score you can, so you’re sure to unlock all the replayable Minigames. If you skip Minigames, or get very low scores, you will not be able to play the bonus versions.

Gameplay Note

Some players have reported game crashes when they skip a number of Minigames, especially later in gameplay. If this occurs, DO let the publisher know and they will pass on the information to the developer. You can contact Codeminion at:

http://codeminion.com/en/contact/

You CAN restart the game with no ill effects. Other than having to replay the next scene after you skipped the minigame, you won’t lose any of your previous progress. To avoid any possible issues, you can always play the Minigames, instead of skipping them. None are very difficult and you will be able to unlock bonus, replayable versions.

Walkthrough – Chapter 1 – The journey begins…

The Lobby

You begin in the Lobby at your aunt’s Apartment building. Click anywhere on the screen to progress through the dialog.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

When you’re finished, Brunhilda will enter the elevator and go up to her aunt’s Apartment. You’ll start in Tutorial Mode. Follow the prompts to continue through the each instruction.

The Apartment

Once inside the Apartment, click on the Bag, indicated at the back of the scene.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

What’s this? A Fairy? Sure, it is…if you like them fat, lazy and sarcastic. LOL Meet Demon, your new, “best friend.” Next, click on The Wand of Telekinesis, indicated at the right side of the scene. At this point, you have the opportunity to Continue or Exit the Tutorial. I’d recommend continuing so you get a feel for the gameplay.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Demon is “starving;” click on the Apple so he’ll quit whining.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Click on the Hat, in the scene. Next, pick up the Hat and place it on the Mannequin.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Click on the Portal, to try to enter the Magical Realm.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Unfortunately, The Nexus Stone is missing and you’re going to have to get it back from the Rats in Rathold. There’s no way you’ll fit through the entrance, not even if you went on a mega-diet. You’re going to have to make a Shrinking Elixir…but first, you need a few things. Collect the New Alchemist magazine (cyan), Pearls (yellow), Potions (green) and Spider Webs (magenta). You still need one more Spider Web; go to the Lobby (red) to collect it then return to the Apartment and collect the Alchemy Set (white).

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Once you collect the Alchemy Set, you’ll begin your first Alchemy minigame in order to make the Shrinking Elixir. Move the bottle around the screen to collect the Blue drops before they hit the floor. Also, make sure to avoid the Red drops.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Now that you have the Shrinking Elixir, you can enter Rathold. Click on the Shrinking Elixir and use it on the entrance to the Rathold.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Rathold

Now that you’re inside Rathold, it’s pitch dark due to a power outage. Speak to the Rat Electrician, then return to the Apartment for the Pliers (cyan) and Duct Tape (yellow). Once back in Rathold, use the Duct Tape on the broken cable and turn on the lights.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Speak to the Rat Rickshaw driver and help him find Matches (cyan) to repair his rickshaw. 28 children? Yikes! Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Head over to the Nexus Stone (white), but before you can nab it, one of the Rat Guards wants you to grease his palm with a little bit of “guanxi” (that’s Cheese, in Rat parlance. And, he needs you to get rid of some Mousetraps). Start with the Drunken Rat (green), who’s sitting on a nice, big, fat piece. He needs you to find his Fireworks, then you can have it. Once you’ve found all the Fireworks (magenta), pick up the piece of Cheese that he was sitting on. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

It looks like that was the only piece of Cheese in the Rathold. Return to the Apartment, collect the Cheese (green) and Mousetraps (yellow) from there, and the Lobby, then return to speak with the Rat Guard. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

You speak to Pierre, but he’s not willing to give you the Bell unless you catch all the Cicadas (cyan) and Geckos (yellow) that escaped from his Terrarium. Collect them then speak with Pierre. You can pick now get the Bell (white). Return to the Rat Palace.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Rat Palace

Speak with the Rat Mystic, install the Bell on the Bell Tower (cyan) then return to the Rat Palace.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Now he needs you to collect some items for his device: Nails, an MP3 player and a Broom. Collect the Nails and MP3 Player, then head to the Lobby for the Broom.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Lobby

Click on the Broom, but Pierre’s not going to let you have it so easily. He wants you to clean up the mess from yesterday’s party.

Chapter 2 – Meeting the Great Wizard

Laboratory

You made it through the Magic Portal, but it seems the damaged Nexus Stone has permanently shrunk you. The Bookworm overhears you and offers to help with an Enlarging Elixir, if you’ll find his favorite Runes (cyan) Next you need to collect some ingredients, but you’ll have to get past that big Spider.

Talk to the Spider and he agrees to let you pass if you get rid of all the Mothballs (magenta) that are killing his favorite snack.

Speak to him again and he asks you to talk to the Parrot about her children eating all his flies. Talk to the Parrot; she asks you to find her children, the Small Parrots (green), and Corn (white) for them to eat instead of Spider’s flies. When you’ve collected everything, talk to the Spider again and he’ll let you pass through to the Flower Pot.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

You can find Chamomile and Mint, in the Garden. Exit the Laboratory, into the Cabin, then go outside into the Garden.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Garden

Collect the Mint (magenta) and Chamomile (cyan)…oops! We have a little problem. Seems Verena isn’t so nice and wants you to work for that Chamomile she’s got in her hair. Collect the Pot (yellow), Broken Barrel (red) and Springs (green). Well, seems that’s not enough for “her high and mighty rudeness;” collect the Broken Target (blue) and Gloves (white). Finally, she’ll give up the Chamomile she didn’t want, anyway. Now that you have everything, return to the Cabin. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Chapter 3 – Expect the Unexpected

While flying towards your destination, Verena shows up and blasts your Broom with some kind of spell, causing you to crash far short of your destination. I guess she’s the poster child for “Evil, little witch.” You crash land in the Woods.

Woods

After speaking to the Goblin, collect the Caltrops (cyan) and Snares (magenta), then head to town. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

This is not timed, so wait until the picture is clearer to find the objects. Note: the differences are all objects inserted into the scene and may be different for each player. See the screenshot for an example. Note: your game will be different from the example (white) shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

After speaking with Filemon, he tells you to talk to Vincent to find a way to Dragon Mountain. You speak to Vincent, then Demon pipes up that travelling in the carriage ain’t happening – motion sickness. Go see the Herbalist for a cure. Speak to the Herbalist who instructs you to find Mandragore Root (cyan) in his shop and in the Woods, and Bird Eggs (magenta) in the Hamlet and in the Woods.

Now that Vincent’s Wheels are enchanted, he’ll need some fuel – Fairy Dust. Speak to the Goblin who informs you that you’ll need to get rid of those nasty Fairies if you want any Fairy Dust. You’ll need to create a blast loud enough to scare them away. Collect Calabashes (magenta) from the Hamlet and Woods, and collect Firebirds (yellow) from the Woods.

There has to be a way to save the Village…perhaps a few ingredients and a good spell will help. Collect the Jugs of Milk (blue), Sacks of Flour (red) and Buckets of Water (magenta). All that’s left is a Ladle and a Kettle (sky blue). Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Time to cast a spell and see if we can get that Sourdough to blow the water out of the well and put out all the fires. This starts your next Wizardry minigame. The object is to click on the Rune, in the book (green) that matches the Rune scrolling to left, below the book (magenta). Find the Runes before they scroll all the way to the left and disappear, to get the highest possible score. Note: the Runes in the book will change, randomly and if you mis-click. If you don’t see the next Rune you need in the book, wait a few seconds for them to change and one will appear. See the screenshot, in Chapter 2, for an example.

Cast the Spell on the well. Head out of town to the Bridge.

Bridge and Village

Speak to the Troll. You’re going to have to pay a toll to cross the Bridge…and he wants Honey Wine. Return to the Village and click on the Barrel. Collect Wine (cyan), Honey (magenta) and Sacks of Herbs (yellow) in the Village and at the Bridge. Time to create some Honey Wine. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

The Troll tells you that you need wood, but the Beaver’s the only one who can cut it. The Beaver says he can’t find his wood cutting denture (purple); get them from the Village. Those dentures are pretty dull and dirty; take them to the Grinding Wheel in the Village. Collect the Grindstones (orange) in the Village and at the Bridge, use them on the Grinding Wheel then return to the Bridge. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Find dark Wood Planks (dark green) for the Beaver to cut. Speak to the Troll then use the Wood Planks on the Bridge. Before heading to the Cave, collect the Map Pieces (grey). You’re now free to head to the Cave…you arrive, but it seems there’s a puzzle lock so you go back to the Village and Bridge to collect the Animal Figures (bright yellow) you need to unlock it. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal
Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Cave

Use the Animal Figures anywhere on the Door to open it.

In order to get rid of the rest of the thorns, we’re going to need to use an Inferno Spell. For that we need Firebugs (cyan) and Eagle Feathers (green). Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

This starts your next Wizardry minigame. The object is to click on the Rune, in the book (green) that matches the Rune scrolling to left, below the book (magenta).

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Chapter 6 – Sultan’s Shard

Dragon wasn’t able to drop them very close, so Brunhilda and Demon had to walk…well, actually, Brunhilda had to walk carrying Demon…and, in this heat, they needed a Cooling Elixir.

Market

Collect the Pineapples (cyan) and Scarabs (red) for the Cooling Elixir. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

You try to get into the Sultan’s Palace, but it’s locked up tight. The Carpet Merchant offers one of his Carpets, but only if you can get his Insurance Rates lowered. Head over to the Souq. Well, that’s not looking so good, there’s a big, hungry Monkey blocking the way. Maybe if we collect some Bananas (magenta). Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

That did the trick. Enter the Souq.

Brunhilda and the Dark Crystal

Souq

Speak to the Thief. Before he’ll help you, you need to collect Thieves’ Signs (cyan). Now, you need to each Merchant and find out what it will take for them to agree to higher Insurance Rates, so the Carpet Merchant’s rates will decrease. Talk to each one, collect the items then speak to him again. Note: items may be in different locations than the ones shown.

Lemon Merchant – Lemons (red)

Lamp Merchant – Lamps (green)

Spice Merchant – Coffee (magenta), Incense (yellow)

Speak to the Thief, again. He asks you to get rid of the Hourglass Merchant; too many practical jokes and the rest of the merchants can’t stand him. The Hourglass Merchant is terrified of Wasps. Perfect! Collect Jars (blue), Honey (purple) and Wasps (orange). Use them on the Hourglass Merchant. Speak to the Thief then return to the Market.
