Use this walkthrough only if you are stuck or really need something to read. The game is a bit short and using the walkthrough word for word will take away from the gaming experience.

This game has a bug that will not allow the player to progress beyond Chapter one unless an available patch is applied.  Applying the patch after the game has been started and saved will not affect existing saves.
The patch is available at:  http://www.adventure-archiv.com/v/verschollendl.htm

This game also has many red herrings and a few inventory items that may never be used. I have located four different endings with two different paths to reach those endings. Each path will be explained with a warning to save the game at the appropriate spot in the game to experience each path.

Helpful hints

Sometimes an item to be used is hidden behind your character Tim and he must be moved out of the way first.
You can use the right mouse button to bring up the inventory screen, right click on an item to use it and left click to leave the inventory screen with the item active.
Use the left mouse button to put some inventory items away after using them or you will not be able to continue.
Always check inventory for an item when instructed to USE an item.
If you are replaying a scene and want to skip dialog, use the right mouse button.
Icons:
Grabbing skeleton hand = you can use or manipulate an object
Talking skull = you can talk with another person
Blinking eye skull = you can make an observation about that object and have possible interaction with the object using an inventory item.
Rotating gears = you can manipulate objects by clicking on it or by using an inventory item on it.
One skeleton foot = an exit that cannot be manipulated, for exiting only.
Two small bone feet = Tim can walk to these areas.
 

Opening scene

It’s night and Diana and I are walking home after a night at the theatre. As we reach the corner of Ray’s Bar-B-Que, we spy a strange sight down the alley. There are men loading goods into a strange type of craft. There is a man with a wooden leg supervising. One of the men stumble and their illegal cargo is spilled out onto the alley. They see us and wooden-leg man shoots at us with a laser gun, Diana is hit. He aims at me and misses as I fire back. They disappear into the night and I rush to Diana.  She is hurt. Then she suddenly disappears before my eyes. Nothing but her clothes are left. I’m attacked from behind and I knock the weapon from his hand. We struggle, but alas, I’m hit as well. In pain, I try to cry out but my voice is silenced.

Chapter 1

Yes, you’re alive. You are alive and naked, and standing in a crater, who knows where. You’ve got to get covered up so grab some leaves (with skeleton hand). That’s better.

Grab the liana (vine) from where the leaves were.

(At the cannon you may also choose not to use your shoe on the fly. After shooting the cannon the second time you will hit the fly and crate and get a cut scene of the cannonball/fly combination hitting the side of the tavern. When you retrieve this cannonball later, you will not have to combine the fly and cannonball.)

Exit to the harbour and then the village.
Back at the tavern, use the whitewashed statue on the drunk and talk to him. He tells you that Diana was taken to a hidden island by Captain Blackoneeyedravenwithonelegbroken. Go up the stairs and talk to the pirates again.

Use the sledgehammer on the breach. Grab the cannonball from the breach and it will fall to the floor and be hidden by the bricks.
Pick up the cannonball and combine the fly with the cannonball. (If you can’t get the cannonball, go back to the harbour and grab another one).

Choice number 2:  Use the propeller on the barrel in front of you and you will float to the tunnels.
In either case, you are attacked by a huge octopus, escape and end up by the tunnels.

Tunnel Hints

This is a maze. Some of us don’t like mazes. This maze is not large but is confusing as your direction changes each time you turn and there are two levels. When in the maze, you may have a choice to go forward, turn down another tunnel away from the player or take a tunnel by turning towards the player. When choosing a tunnel towards the player, the tunnel choice is outside the frame at the bottom. I know, this is confusing, so just follow these directions. All directions are from Tim’s point of view.
F=forward
R=Tim’s right
L=Tim’s left
Most tunnel sections have 4 frames. If there is a dead end, there may be only 3 frames.
When instructed to turn right or left, turn into the first frame that has a tunnel exit.
Important: some frames have two tunnel choices, left or right. Let’s go.
