The Dark Hills of Cherai: The Regal Scepter – Game Introduction

General Tips

When starting a new game, you can choose between two difficulty modes: Casual or Expert. Casual Mode features skip and hint buttons that recharge faster, as well as active zones being highlighted. Expert Mode features slower hint and skip button charges, as well as active zones not being highlighted.
In the bottom left corner of the screen is a gold mirror holding a reflection of the King. You can click on it for helpful progress hints.
In the bottom left corner of the screen is also a book called the Grandha. This will be your journal. It will keep track of storyline progression, as well as helpful hints you find along your way.
In the bottom right corner of the screen is the Peacock, which will act as your hint button. Once the Peacock’s feathers are fully fanned and glow, you can click on the Peacock for a hint that will show you were an item is, or notify you if none are to be found. You can also pick up items from your inventory and drop it on the Peacock (once fully charged) for a vision of where it should be used. This is very helpful during your journey, especially if you don’t know who should have an item or where it should be used.
In the bottom right corner of the screen is also the Map. You can use this to keep track of where you are. In addition, you can use the Map (after progressing a certain distance in the game) to instantly move from one location to another, limiting backtracking. The Map will also keep track of where other characters are located (you can switch between them from here, too), whether or not an area has been completed or is pending, the location of hidden object areas, and your current location.
Also in the bottom right corner of the screen is the Meeting Place model. After you’ve progressed a certain distance in the game, this small replica will appear here. You can use it to be instantly whisked back to the Meeting Place.
At the top of the screen, characters and their corresponding location will be listed. You can click on their name at the top of the screen to instantly assume their journey. Note, once you start playing with multiple characters, it’s highly suggested you leave them in the Meeting Place before transferring characters, as this makes things much quicker and easier.
The Meeting Place is a special location where the three main characters can meet. You can transfer items between characters by selecting an item from one inventory list, placing it on the rotating wheel, and then choosing in which direction to rotate it, thereby giving it to another character. You will be using this feature often in the game, another reason why you should keep characters not currently being played in the Meeting Place.
Hints are unlimited, however they require time to recharge after use.
Skip buttons may be used during puzzles after a preset amount of time has passed.
Inventory items are located at the bottom of the screen and are identified with CAPS in the guide below.
Once you start collecting Power Stones, they will be kept on flower petals on one of the flowers on either side of your screen. There are 12 in total.
Locations in the guide below are called by their in-game names. When a character switch is made, it will appear as such: i.e. –TARA–.

Dungeon

Take a closer look at the Guardian Peacock statue in the middle of the room– it’s missing its feathers.
Proceed through the portals at the far end of the room. Each portal will put you in the shoes of either Tara, Maya, or Rahul revisiting places they’ve been. You’ll need to find the missing Peacock feathers. There’s one in each room/location for each of the siblings, so the best strategy is to move forward room by room and grab the feathers as you go. The feathers are easy to find, so their individual locations won’t be shown. However, refer to the example below to see what a Peacock feather typically looks like in a location– it’s always green and floating.

Once you’ve collected all the feathers and you’re back in the Dungeon, click on the Guardian Peacock statue in the middle of the room for a closer view. Use the LUSH FEATHER, the LONG FEATHER, and the SMALL FEATHER on the statue so that all of its feathers are restored.
