Lost Lands is one of the most popular point-and-click puzzle and object-finding series around. I love leading Susan into each new adventure and if you do too, read on for my full walkthrough for Lost Lands 4, The Wanderer.
Lost Lands 4: The Wanderer Full Walkthrough
Note that once you reach the Lost Lands, you can use the map (bottom right of your screen) to fast-travel between areas you’ve visited. For this reason, I won’t talk about how to get from A to B in this guide. Also, note the map will remind you of any scenes in which you haven’t yet collected the Collection Item (collectible) or Morphing Object.
At the start of the game, our hero Susan returns home to find a mysterious glowing crate in her home. This is part one of my full walkthrough for Lost Lands 4: The Wanderer and it will take you up to the light puzzle, which opens the gate to the Earl’s estate, including all puzzle solutions. If you want to find help for later parts of the game, use the links below.
A mysterious box
Click the TV (a1) for a close-up to grab yourDiary, then the glowing chest (a2) to read the note telling you that to open the chest, you’ll need the Anti-Magic Gloves you brought back from your last adventure. Take theBallpoint Pen(a3) and yourCell Phone(a4), then check the TV close-up (a1) once more to charge up your phone. Once it is plugged in, click the phone to check your messages and note the new safe code,4 8 15 16 23 42.
Select the photos on the wall (a5) and use the pen to open up and reveal the safe. Input the code and you’ll get theAnti-Magic Gloves. Use them to open the chest, take theCompass of the Worlds, and head out. When you arrive on the ship, click the cabin doors to knock on them and they’ll open up. Click the entrance to go inside.
Click Captain Finuer Stulburn for a brief conversation that triggers a symbol-matching puzzle. To complete the puzzle,use the gaps on either side to drag pieces out of the center circleso that you may rearrange them. Keep doing this until they all match the inner circle and the puzzle is solved. You can’t fail, so just keep switching pieces until the circle is complete (see above).

The Cave
Pick up theCollectible(b1) andMorphing Object(b2), then click the curtain (b3) to start an object-finding challenge. Note you need to light the candle on the stool to burn the wax to get the knob, and you need to use the chisel and weight to open the clasp on the window to find the corkscrew. Once complete, you’ll get theBlunt Knife. Use the knife on the door (b4), and head outside.
Click Corko (c1) to move to the next scene and talk to Corko by clicking him there to find out you need to help him fix the ferry so you can head to the town across the river.
Go back to the scene outside the room you were in and find theCollectibleand theMorphing Object(c2), which are right next to each other on the ground, as well as taking theMap PieceandWood Shavingsby the tree stump (c3). Head back to Corko.

Now you can give the nails to Corko to start a plank placement puzzle. Each of the three puzzle levels has three pieces that go on it, adding up to eight planks on each. If you get stuck, use my image above and note the placement of metal supports to guide you. Once complete, you canuse the ferryto go to the Bay of Sorrows.
