Lost Lands 8 Walkthrough, Part 3 - Sand Captivity
I’ve broken up my Lost Lands 8 Sand Captivity walkthrough into several parts. This one takes us from when Susan is looking for the ingredients to make the underwater potion to when she puts out the fire in the centaur village. If you’re looking for puzzle solutions that happen before or after this, instead head over to myLost Lands 8 Walkthrough hubto find the relevant information.
Making the underwater potion
Select the lake (a1), pick somePurple Seaweed, and grab aBox With Numbers.
Head to the academy greenhouse next and pick aLemonfrom the lemon tree (b1).
Finally, return to Maaron’s hut and get theLava Flower Juicefrom the plant on the windowsill (c1). Select the clock next (c2) and add the box with numbers. Click the box again to open it and start a Roman numerals puzzle.
You just have to remake the clock’s numbers from the letter pieces and add them in the correct order (see above). Once done, a compartment will open to the left of the clock (c3). Click the items inside until you find theDragon Vessel.
Select the recipe in your inventory and drag the vessel onto the note. Next, add the purple seaweed. Now add the lemon and cut it with your knife. Add the lava juice and murmuri berry, and you’ll receive theUnderwater Potion Ingredients. Return to the lake and add the ingredients to the magic well (a2).
Lowering the island
After the cut scene, head to the library (d1). Check the scroll at the entrance to find the symbol for the Department of Crystals and Artifacts (a gem), move to that section, and examine the scroll there to see that you need shelf 6. Click shelf 6 to readCrystal Unio.
Go out to the courtyard and speak to the janitor (e1), who will give you aCarabiner.
Move into the hall and use the carabiner on the chain to fix the winding mechanism (f1), which opens the window and shines a pattern onto the floor (f2). Get a close-up of it and add the emblem to start an odd-one-out puzzle.
There are 10 sections that you need to highlight. See the image above for the solution. Once complete, the floor will open up, giving youaccess to the ritual hall.
Before entering the hall, return to the fortress and place the crystal on the rocks (g1). Now select the crane (g2) and use your knife to cut the rope in the close-up. The rock will fall, crushing the crystal and allowing you to pick up theCrystal Powder.
Now go to the ritual hall. Grab theCollectible(h1) and theMorphing Object(h2), click the central area (h3), and take theKey(in the bottom right of the close-up). Return to the library and use the key to open the town diorama (d1).
Click it once more to start an item-arranging puzzle. There are 11 pieces to move, after which the town will look like the image above. Take theSignet.
Go to Maaron’s office and use the signet to open the cupboard (i1), and then click the mechanism inside to start an animal tile-moving puzzle. Each animal needs to be in its correct environment. To complete it, press the central X once, the outside arrow once, the left X once, and then the right X once (yes, it’s that simple!). Take theLollipopand theBox With Balls.
Now select the chart on the wall (i2) and add the box with balls to it to find that one ball is missing. Go to the greenhouse and use the lollipop on the insects on the tree (b2) to getAnts. Back in the office, add the ants to the bird cage (i3), which attracts the bird down from the top of the wardrobe. Click the bird in the cage for a close-up and take the missingRed Ball. Add it to the wall chart (i2) and you can begin a color-matching puzzle (I’ve pictured the correct ball positions below). Once done, note the highlighted symbols.
Select the cupboard (i1) once more and get a close-up of the metal box inside. Turn the dials to match the image you saw on the wall chart (see below) and it will open.
Take thePlate, go back to the ritual hall, and add it to the stone (h4). This reveals a pool in the center of the room (h3). Add the crystal powder to the pool to lower the island.
