Welcome to the Timeless: The Lost Castle walkthrough on Gamezebo. Timeless: The Lost Castle is a hidden object adventure created by Boolat Games. This walkthrough includes tips and tricks, helpful hints and a strategy guide on how to complete Timeless: The Lost Castle.

Game Introduction – Timeless: The Lost Castle

General Tips

Play is mostly linear although there are some options for the order in which to explore locations and complete tasks. The thought bar along the top of a scene often directs play movement.
This guide is written to complete tasks in the most efficient way possible. Not all inventory items are picked up when first encountered; tasks are completed when all required items have been assembled. To make it easier to find where this guide may differ from your own play, collected inventory items are CAPITALIZED and highlighted in white with a blue border in the screenshots.
If you don’t have an item referenced in this guide, press and hold the “Ctrl” key while pressing the “F” key. This opens a Find area in your web browser. Type in the name of the object as it appears in this guide. Press the “Enter” key to find references to the item.
Drag inventory items to the combine box to receive a new item. Items that can be combined are indicated by a “+” sign in the inventory tray in casual and sometimes in normal game play modes.
Consult the journal for story information, playing hints and tips to solve puzzles.

Difficulty Modes

There are three playing modes: Casual, Normal or Expert.
Casual mode offers the most assistance during play. Interactive locationsglimmer often; combinable items are indicated in inventory; hint and skip buttons recharge quickly. There are no click penalties in hidden object scenes.
Normal mode increases the challenge by only occasionally indicating interactive locations; combinable items are rarely indicated in inventory; hint and skip buttons recharge more slowly. There is a short penalty for incorrect clicks in hidden object scenes.
Expert mode offers the most challenging way to play. Interactive locations and combinable inventory items are not indicated; hint and skip buttons recharge very slowly. There is a long penalty for incorrect clicks in hidden object scenes.
The playing mode may be changed at any point by clicking the “menu” button in the bottom left of the screen and then selecting “options”.
This guide was written playing in casual mode.

Cursors

The default cursor is an arrow with a blue gem. It can change into the following icons:
An eye indicates an interactive area requiring closer inspection.
A hand means an item can be collected for inventory.
Gears specify that objectsrequireadditional action. This usually it means an inventory item is needed.

Hidden Object Scenes

Hidden Object Scenes (HOS) may be either a list of items or a silhouette of the objects to find.
Items listed in blue lettering require interacting with the scene to reveal the item.
Cursor icons in HOS are the same as in the rest of the game.

Hint and Skip Buttons

The hint button isin the lower right of the screen.
If there are no actions to be completed in your present location, the hint button will guide you in the direction you need to go for your next action. The hint button only gets depleted and will need to recharge if it finds an action for you to complete.
The hint button can also be used in HOS.
Puzzles may be skipped once the skip button has charged.
