Welcome to the Gamezebo Strategy Guide for Jewel Quest Mysteries 2:  Trail of the Midnight Heart. This is the second in the Hidden Object/Jewel Board version of the series.

This Strategy Guide is divided into two parts:

General Tips (No Spoilers)

Walkthrough

General Tips

• For each level, you have to first do Hidden Object scenes in order to collect the pieces, called shards, of a broken jewel board. When you have all the pieces, you then solve the jewel board by making matches to turn all its squares gold.
• In the Hidden Object scenes you can collect objects from the Find List, jewels, and lion coins. The jewels are used to purchase upgrades later, and the lion coins are used to purchase "Specials," which can be used as hints.
• Most Hidden Object scenes have one or two Key Items. There are tools like a crowbar that can be used in later scenes to uncover jewel board shards. There are also Dragonflies, who also give you a jewel board shard.
• Objects can be any size, color, or time period.
• Locations repeat often, and the objects are always the same, but the Find List will differ. The lion coins and jewels may repeat or may be in a different place.
• The locations do not match the journal story. For example, while you are travelling on the Trans-Siberia railroad, you will have to search Papua, New Guinea. Just go with it
• The time you get is for the entire level-all Hidden Object scenes and the jewel board. Finishing faster gets you more bonus points.

• You can find lion coins in the Hidden Object scenes, or earn them by matching 3 or more coins on a jewel board.

  Jewel Board Tips

• Jewel board play is the same as previous games in the series. Whenever you make a match of at least 3, the jewels are removed from the board and the squares underneath turn from grey to gold.
• It is usually fastest to work the jewel board from the bottom up. That way you benefit from accidental matches as new jewels fall onto the board.
• You can skip any jewel board without penalty, you just won’t earn as many bonus points.
• When you buy the upgrades that start the board with some squares already gold, those squares will start at the bottom. This means you can get some points even if you skip a jewel board altogether. It also helps take care of some of the hardest squares.

  Upgrade Tips

• Unlike previous games in the series, you can now buy upgrades in between levels by spending jewels. Most of the upgrades give you more hints of one kind or another.
• Which upgrades you buy is a matter of taste. If you like the challenge of doing the jewel boards yourself, you may want to skip the upgrades that add gold squares to start a jewel board, as these reduce the challenge.
• Probably the most helpful upgrades are the ones that increase the number of specials you can have, as these hints can be used on the Hidden Object scenes or on the jewel boards.
• The glowing cursor that helps you find jewels will help you buy upgrades sooner.
• Once you have bought the cursor upgrade, the cursor will sparkle when you get near a jewel.
• Once you have bought the dragonfly upgrade, a dragonfly will occasionally fly across the screen and draw a gold circle around a lion coin you’ve missed.

Mini-game Tips

• Whenever you see a "transportation icon" on the map, like a train or a plane, you can play a bonus mini-game to earn more jewels. These are all the same type: you find up to 20 objects of the same kind, like 20 stars or 20 gears. The twist is that you are riding in the train or plane, so the scenery is moving past your window pretty quickly. You can play the game over and over until you feel you’ve gotten your best score. The objects are always in the same place. I usually got to 20 on the 3rd try.
• Objects in the mini-games may be any size or color, or be a shape in the clouds.
• If you get all 20 objects in the transportation mini-game, you get a bonus 5 jewels.

  Specials Tips

• The "specials" are a row of red jewels on the top left of the screen. You start out with 3 slots, but you can get more slots as an upgrade.
• To use a special during a hidden object scene, click on one red dot and an object from the Find List will light up in the scene. You don’t get to select which object.
• To use a special during a jewel board, click on one red dot, and then click on any grey square on the board and it will turn gold. This is an easy way to finish a jewel board that has a square sticking out at the side or top.

• If you have filled all of the special slots, additional lion coins will turn into points instead of specials until you have an empty slot again.

Spoilers

• These screenshots show the objects in each location.
• Blue items are from the Find List.
• Yellow items are Key Objects. You will either get a tool to use later in the game or get a jewel board shard.
• Orange items are optional, like lion coins and jewels.

• Each level has several locations that you can do in any order, and the locations repeat from one level to another throughout the game. To make sure you’re at the same spot as the walkthrough, just count the number of crystals above the map on the right, then add 1. That will tell you what level you’re on. So if there are 3 crystals, you’re on level 4.

• Your Find List may differ from the ones shown. However, the key objects should always be in the same location.

Level 1

Taj Mahal Gardens
