Manannan's First Journey
Exploring the House
Wait here for Manannan to appear and tell you he is going on a journey (he will be away for 25 minutes).
Go north and open the drawer below the mirror to get a mirror. Walk over to the other drawers and open one to find some rose essence. Feel the top of the wardrobe to find a key, then open the wardrobe and look behind the clothes to get a map. Close the wardrobe again, then leave the room and go upstairs. Look through the telescope. Pick up the dead fly, then go back downstairs twice to reach the hall.
Walk around until you find the cat - sneak up behind it and get it (if you fail, just keep trying), then take some fur. Go north from the hall into the office. Open the cabinet with your key to get Manannan's wand. Now walk to the east bookcase and move the books to reveal a lever. Pull the lever and walk down into the lab.
Wizard's Laboratory
Examine the shelves, then take the saffron. Walk to the desk and turn to page IV. Put a pinch of saffron in essence, then recite the following verse:
oh winged spirits set me free
of earthly bindings just like thee
in this essence behold the might
to grant the precious gift of flight
Wave the wand to complete the Fly spell. Go back up the stairs and pull the lever, the move the books back into place. Open the cabinet to put away the magic wand, then go south twice to leave the house. Open the gate and get a chicken, then get a feather. Open the gate to exit, then head south.
Off the Mountain
Go down to the base of the mountain and walk south and east twice (don't worry if robbers steal from you around here).
Stand outside the tavern and open the door, then dip the wings in the essence to turn into a fly. Fly into the tavern and over to the robbers to listen to their conversation. Fly back outside and say "fly begone, myself return" to change back to normal. Walk west and examine the tree. Dip the wings in the essence again, then fly into the hole - you will see a rope. Fly out again and say "fly begone, myself return". Pull the rope in the hole and a ladder will drop down.
Save your game, then climb the ladder and go west into the tree house. If a robber is home and awake you will be killed, so you will need to restore your game.
If not, open the bin and get all, then close the bin again (you will reclaim your previously stolen possessions). Get the purse from the table, then leave the house and climb back down the ladder. Now go west and very quickly turn around to face the right of the screen. When the Medusa is quite close to you, show mirror to Medusa - she will turn to stone. Now walk over to the large rock at the left and get the cactus.
Head south twice and take the snake skin. Examine the map and teleport to the foot of the mountain. Walk up the mountain and enter the house. Go upstairs and head east to your room. Hide all, then get the mutton. Walk back west and down to the hall and wait for Manannan to arrive home. When he arrives, go east to the dining room and give the mutton to Manannan.
A Short Nap
Preparation
Once Manannan has finished eating, go west, upstairs, and east to your room. Wait here until he appears and says he will have a nap (for 25 minutes). Get all from beneath your bed, then look at your map and teleport to the village.
Outside Exploration
Open the door and go inside. Buy some salt, fish oil, lard and a pouch. Pat the dog to get some fur, then leave the store. Walk south, then west. If the mother bear is in the garden, walk off the screen and back again until she is gone. Open the door and go inside. Sit on the baby chair and it will break, then approach the table and get the porridge. Go upstairs. Open the drawer and take the thimble. Go back downstairs and outside. Look at the flowers, then get some dew.
Walk south and look at the river. Grab some mud, then walk east twice to reach the ocean. Walk into the ocean and get some water. Now head west and north, then get some mistletoe from the tree. Walk south and west twice, then wait for an eagle to fly past and drop a feather. Pick it up.
Head north to the tree house and get some acorns. Keep trying until you eventually find 3 dried acorns. Look at your map and teleport to the cave. Dip the eagle feather in the essence to turn into an eagle and fly into the web - you will carry the spider out to sea. Once you have changed back, walk into the cave. The Oracle will talk to you and give you an amber stone. Walk back outside and look at the map, teleporting to the foot of the mountain. Walk up the mountain and enter the house. Go upstairs and head east to your room. Hide all, then leave your room and wait near the top of the stairs.
