  • The Help files can also be accessed by clicking on the “?” button, just to the right of the Hint button.

Gameplay and Guide Tips

  • I strongly recommend you access and review the Help files to familiarize yourself with the gameplay mechanics, as they won’t be mentioned in this walkthrough. They are quite detailed and will give you most of the information you need in order to play the game.
  • Use the interactive Map (as soon as you have the warp ability) to travel quickly to different locations. The locations will become available after you visit them the first time.
  • Once available, and to quickly earn 20 Diamonds at a time, you may play the Toymaker’s Card Game, with Otto, as often as you like. You need 285 Diamonds and 100 Coal to get the associated Achievements and purchase everything you need in the game. You may continue to collect/convert Coal and Diamonds even after you’ve reached the maximums needed.
  • Once available, you may convert Coal into Diamonds in the Workshop. Note that Diamonds and Coal may reappear in previously visited areas. Click on the Hint button to make sure you’ve collected them all.
