The Magician's Handbook II: BlackLore Walkthrough

GENERAL TIPS

THINGS TO KNOW

• Hidden keys are highlighted in green.


• Most Hidden enchanted objects are highlighted in red.


• In this game the hidden object list you receive will be randomized, so it is likely that everyone will have a different variation of objects.

NEW GAME

• Click the “Play” button to start a new game.


• When you start a new game there are four modes to choose from; two of them are primary and the other two are secondary.


• At first you will be asked to choose the "Casual," or "Apprentice" mode (these are the primary choices). Selecting "Casual" lets you play without a timer, while "Apprentice" applies a timer to all of your puzzles.


• Second, you will be asked to choose between the "Short and Sweet,” or “Long and Complete" modes (these are your secondary choices). "Short and Sweet" will cut the story down quite a bit; the "Long and Complete" will tell the story will more detail.


• You have to choose one of the primary and secondary choices before you can start your game. You will only be asked these questions in the beginning of your game.


• Later on, after you complete this game, you will gain access to the "Magician" mode. In this mode there is a smaller time limit and only three names from the object list are visible at any given time.

MAP SCREEN

• The map menu is where you go to plan out where you would like to go next. From here you can move to any place that is available.


• By placing your wand over a location you can check the amount of hidden objects, and hidden keys in that particular location.


• From here you can also go to the "Safe Haven" to open a Treasure Chest.

LOCATION SCREEN

• After choosing a location from the map screen, you end up here at a location screen.


• From here you should be able to see a list of hidden objects on the right side of your screen.


• The "Map" button located at the upper-right side of your screen lets you go back to the Map Screen instantly.


• Those 3 keys at the bottom of your screen show you the amount of keys you have for each type.


• The "Safe Haven" button at the bottom-left-corner of your screen lets you go to the safe haven where you can find Treasure Chests.


• The "Magician's Handbook" at the bottom-right-corner of your screen allows you to change the wand you are using; it also allows you to restart the chapter you are on.


• The "Menu" button at the top-right-side of your screen allows you to change the volume of your game, exit to the Main Menu Screen, and read a helpful Guide for your game.


• At the bottom-right side of your screen there is a "Reveal" button. The Reveal button gives you the location of a random object from your object list.

FINDING OBJECTS

• At the beginning of each Chapter your mission will be to find a set amount of enchanted objects.


• On the right side of your Location Screen there will be a list of enchanted objects; finding all of the listed objects in a room will take you back to the Map screen to choose another location to complete.


• If you are having too much trouble finding an object, try clicking the Reveal button for some help.


• At the beginning of each Chapter, the Reveal button starts with five stones around it. The number of stones around the eye of the Reveal button indicates the number of reveals you have left. If you run out of these, another reveal will appear within exactly two minutes.

KEYS & CHESTS

• There are three varieties of keys: Gold, Silver, and Black.


• These three keys open up the Treasure Chests that are found in the "Safe Haven."


• Treasure Chests can only be opened up with the proper key, and the correct amount of that key. For example: a Treasure Chest may need seven Gold keys to be unlocked.


• Some Treasure Chests have special Wands inside of them, as well as temporary spells.


• There are four wands to collect; however, only three of these wands can be found in Treasure Chests. The last Wand is awarded to the Person who beats this game with an “A” grade average.

GRADES

• You will be graded at the end of each chapter on a few different factors.


• The amount of Objects found, the number of Reveals remaining, and the number of "Quickfinds" in that chapter will determine your score.


• A "Quickfind" point is awarded to you when you find one or more enchanted objects in quick succession.


• The opposite of "Quickfinds" are "Mis-clicks;" if you click a space without an object in it too many times in quick succession, the outcome of your grade will be penalized. This does not happen if you have a spell equipped, or if you are solving a puzzle.

SPELLS

• There are two types of spells; there is one you can use forever, and one that is for single use only.


• The spells you can use forever are spells like Wind, and Fire. These spells are only gained after completing a certain type of puzzle. Once gained, they will help you solve difficult puzzles.


• The temporary spells that are for single use only are spells like the Increase Reveal, or the Repel Magic. Spells like those can only be found in the Treasure Chests at "Safe Haven." These spells give you assistance in certain situations.
