Khembalung Valley
You start the game playing as Richard Weston. After you receive the mysterious artefact, go and use it on the stone in the middle of the room.
Hong Kong
Talk to the singer and select the first option each time, until you are forced to flee. It doesn't matter what you say to the thugs outside the club, you will end up in the harbor. Use your lighter to soften the tar on the right, then collect it with your napkin. Use your napkin now to plug the hole so your hands are both free. Now examine your wallet to find some coins, and use these to unscrew the hinge. Now use the hinge on the lid to break free.
Chapter 1: A Missing Friend
Airport
Talk to Gus, then you will automatically go inside and talk to Huxley, then find out your mission from the Governor. Back at the airport, talk to Gus again about everything, then pick up the bellows. Enter the office to the left and take the alarm clock and measuring tape, then go outside and leave.
Governor's Palace
Look at the tall tree on the left, then try to take the ball from the tree, but the guard won't let you walk on the grass. Examine your alarm clock, then use the key on the alarm clock. Now put the alarm clock in the rubbish bin on the right. Now you can take the ball from the tree.
Nightclub
Enter the back door and talk to Shen (the barkeeper). Next talk to Nianzu, who needs a photograph to remind him about Yen Wuang. Go back out to the alley and try to use your bellows to collect the swarm of flies, but the cat will make too much noise. Combine your ball and measuring tape, then tie this to the rod near the cat. Now use the bellows on the swarm of flies.
Airport
Enter the office and try to open the safe, but you can't remember the combination.
Harbor
Hao will find your wallet, but wants you to help him catch a bat for him before he will return it. Use your bellows on the light here, and Hao will return your wallet. Examine this in your inventory to find the safe combination.

Enter the office again and use the combination on the safe to get a photo of Wuang.
Nightclub
Show the picture to Nianzu and he will give you a new address.
Wuang's House
Enter the doorway on the right, then pick up the bamboo before knocking on the door on the left. After you regain control of the situation, take the hanger from the cupboard and combine this with your bamboo. Go down to the other part of the room and out to the balcony. Use your pole and hook to retrieve the lantern, then go back inside. Return out to the corridor and hang your lantern on the nail hook just outside Wuang's apartment. Try to use the window, then go back inside and talk to Kim to convince her to leave with you.
Truck Escape
Talk to Kim and get her to speed up, then quickly tell her to put on the brakes, and you will end up in the back of the truck. Use your pole and hook to bring the broken piece of glass closer, then use your broken pole to get it. Use the broken piece of glass on the tarpaulin to get a rag, then combine this with the broken pole. Give the pole and rag to Kim, then switch to her.
Take the key hanging from the rear view mirror. Use the pole and rag on the cigar lighter, then give both the key and torch to Fenton. Switch back to Fenton.
Use the key to open the crate, then take some fireworks from inside. Use the fireworks on the motor next to you, then light them with your torch.
Plane to Tibet
Collect a pumpkin, as well as the parachute, canister and bag of flour. Use the pumpkin on the fixture where the parachute was hanging to make some holes in it. Fill the pumpkin with water from the canister before adding the flour. Now open the door on the left and look outside. Throw the pumpkin at the fighter plane.
Chapter 2: The Secret in the Mountains
Crash Site
Pick up the sled and the propeller blade. Use the propeller blade to open the crate and you will get the crate lid. Search the crate to get the items from inside (broken record, folding table and gramophone horn). Now head along the path to the left to reach a crevasse.
Use your horn on the snowdrift, then on the smooth rock near the crevasse, and you will cover the rock with snow. Now use your crate lid on the broken sled to repair it, then use the sled on the furrow to cross the gap. Move the wing at the bottom to create a bridge over the crevasse. Use your propeller blade on the upright wing to pry it open, then take a piece of wing hull. Next search the cockpit to get a jacket and some binoculars. Cut up the jacket using your broken record. Return right, then take the other path up.
Combine your lambskin and sled, then add the folding table to build a fake sheep. Use this on the argali to get rid of it. Pick up the horn and leather strap, then examine these in your inventory to separate them. Also pick up the weird lumps, which turn out to be argali dung, and take some incense sticks from the altar. Go back along the path to the crash site, and continue left to the fire.
Put the argali dung in the horn, then use this on the fire to light it. Next use your leather strap in the puddle beneath the wreckage to freeze it. Return right and use your piece of wing hull on the ledge to create a ladder, then climb up to the ledge.
After seeing that Kim is unconscious, use the incense sticks on the burning argali dung to light one, then use this on Kim to wake her up. Now use your frozen leather strap to retrieve the parachute from the top right. Use the parachute on the cockpit, then use the parachute to free Kim.
German Camp
Walk to the right and examine the warning sign; you will end up down in a cavern. As Kim, pick up the warning sign. Also take the paper and rope from the truck, and search the crate in the back of the truck to get several more items. Look at the holes in the snow just outside the window of the barracks, and you will see a cigar being thrown out. Use your warning sign on the holes, and you will catch a cigar. Head over to the crevasse and give everything except the documents and warning sign to Fenton.
Switch to Fenton and light the gas-burner with the glowing cigar butt. Pick up some chunks of ice from the pile on the right. Next use the gas burner to light another one of your incense sticks. Use the incense stick on one of the passageways, then go through the left one. Take the pocket knife from the pile of rubbish, then use this on your log.
Put the chunks of ice into the pot, then seal the pot using the sticky tape, and add the wood chip to create a pressure cooker. Place your newspaper on the rubbish pile, then light it with your gas-burner. Put your pressure cooker on the fire, and the wood chip will shoot through the ice ceiling. Pick up the pot again, then combine your horn and rope to create a grappling hook. Throw this up through the ceiling, then climb up to escape.
Search the case to your left and you will get a grenade from inside. Walk to the right until you see the German soldier. Use your pot on the vent in the generator shed to throw the water inside; once the soldier has gone inside, kick the beam near the truck and he will be trapped. Try to open the toolbox here, but it is jammed shut. Enter the tent and take the red tent peg, then leave again. Use the tent peg to open the toolbox, and you will get several items from inside.
Examine the saw blade to remove it from its cover. Combine your glue and empty cover, then add the newspaper. Now combine your glue and broken record, and solve the jigsaw puzzle to put the record back together; the white joins are still too obvious. Use your vice on your grenade to retrieve the gunpowder from inside. Pour the gunpowder on the glued record, then put the fixed record into the record cover.
Enter the tent again and put your record on the stack of records. After the guard is knocked out, talk to Thomas. Take the guard's uniform, and you will also end up with a keyring and tape reel. Use the keyring on Thomas to free him from his handcuffs. Leave the tent and use Thomas (in your inventory) on the back of the truck to the top left; now another soldier requests some paperwork in order for you to be allowed to take the truck.
Use your keyring on the door to the hut on the left, then go inside. Pick up the pencil from the floor, and take a form from on top of the desk. Use your tape reel in the tape recorder to find out that object 28 is important. Now examine the list on the left wall - object 28 corresponds with "Eye of the Kanjur". Use your pencil on your form and select "Eye of the Kanjur". Go back outside and give your completed form to the soldier so that you can leave with the truck.
Monastery
Use your tent peg on the sign post to remove the signs. Try using the lever to the right, then talk to Kim and she will stand on the platform. Use the lever again, and she will retrieve some wooden planks and baking powder for you. Now head along the pathway towards the monastery.
Search the bird's nest to get an egg shell, then go back to the crossroads. Use your egg shell on the puddle of oil to the right of the lever. Now return to the monastery. Use one of your wooden planks on the drain to the right of the bridge, and the other on the dragon's claw. Cross over the planks and use your tent peg on the prayer wheel. Try to open the side entrance, but the door won't budge. Open the gap to the left using your tent peg. Now use one of your signs on the wooden wheel in the gap, then turn it. Repeat this 3 more times, then head inside.
Try to use the pulley next to you, then oil it with your egg shell and try to use it again. Next attach your prayer wheel to the pulley, before using it again to retrieve a tin from below. Open the tin using your tent peg, then throw the disgusting meat from inside down to the wooden slab. Use the pulley once more and you will get the knapsack from below. Search the knapsack to get the items from inside.
Fix the torch using your glue and compass. Next use your torch on the kennel and the dog will go inside. Combine your baking powder and canteen, then close the canteen by using the lid on it. Now throw it on to the snow slab above the kennel. Since the dog is now trapped, you will climb down to the courtyard. Examine the chest in the corner, and get it working by connecting the 5 plugs to their correct sockets (despite the 2 difficulty levels, the solution is the same):
- Plug 1 - Adapter 1
- Plug 2 - Adapter 5
- Plug 3 - Adapter 3
- Plug 4 - Adapter 2
- Plug 5 - Adapter 4
Now that you have some light, look at the western wall to find 3 ornaments. Use your prayer wheel on the right ornament, then examine the mosaic that is revealed. Swap the tiles around so that the mother dragon at the top is twice as long as the child dragon at the bottom (to achieve this, make the mother dragon form a complete diamond, and the child dragon a small curve up to the middle).
Enter the secret room and look at the symbols, then talk to Kim to work out the translation.

Open the stone slab on the left, then take the wooden gear from inside. Take the torch from next to the doorway, and search the pile of shards on the right to find a nut. Head out through the doorway into the northern cave. Take the right metal pillar, and you will end up with the chain as well. Kick the rocks here, then break the stalactite over the right doorway with your metal post. Next use your metal post on the mound of soil over to the left. Dig in the soil and you will reveal a coffin and get some wet dirt in your inventory. Go through the doorway to the right. Pick up the square stone, then go back to the northern cave and head through the top doorway.
Go to the southwestern cave. Combine your torch and chain, then lower this down into the lava to set it on fire. Now look at the statue, and examine the symbols on it. Since the symbol on the right represents life, place your wet dirt into the right bowl, then add your nut. Leave this room to return to the map.
Now head to the southeastern cave. Break off the icicle from the ceiling and place it into the tub on the left, then melt it with your burning torch. Put the wooden gear and the chain into the tub, then leave here.

Now head to the southwestern cave. Lower your frozen gear wheel into the lava. Next attach your chain to the hollow stone in your inventory. Since the symbol on the left of the statue here represents death, place your bone into the left bowl. Lower your hollow stone into the lava to collect some, then place your lava-filled stone into the statue's middle recess. Now take the body piece of the dragon amulet.
Return to the northern cave and go through the doorway on the left. Add your new gear to the other gears on the left. Place a pebble into the left stone head, and you will notice that the discs on the floor rotate. Keep placing pebbles into the left stone head until the red line on the outer disc points to the right. Repeat this with the middle stone head (for the middle disc) and then with the right stone head (for the inner disc). Now you can pick up the head piece of the dragon amulet. Head out through the doorway, then to the right.
Combine the 3 pieces of the dragon amulet, and use it on the force field.
