If you’re struggling with the final part of the puzzle (the RGB circles, where you need to make the white wings visible. See below for an image). Move back to the Castle of Madness, use the energy ball on the left socket (1c), then join the two key parts in your inventory to make a Key.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: Atlas’s Arms

Go to the arena entrance and use the key to open the iron maiden (4a). Take Atlas’s Arm from inside, then select the arm in your inventory and remove the Key from its hand. Move to the schooner wreck, select the captain’s chest (5a), and use the key to open it. Take the second Atlas’s Arm from inside and again click it in your inventory, this time removing a Diamond Key from its hand. 

Return to the Castle of Madness, add the two Atlas arms to the double doors (1d), then click the bottom of the steps (1e) and complete the steps puzzle (image below). Move forward through the now-open door to the labyrinth.

Take the Piece of Pattern (6a) and add it to the wall (6b), which moves aside. You can now take the Manuscript (6c) and the Lipstick (6d).

Click the glass screen (7d) and complete the line drawing by using the lipstick (it looks like a snail). Once drawn, click the back wall where you need to choose a brick to push (7e).

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: Room of Insanity

Head on through to the room of insanity and collect the Spoon (8a), Stone Block (8b), and Manuscript (8c). Now go to the tree of life and place the stone block on the others (9a), allowing you to access the bird’s nest (9b). Take an Egg from the nest. Return to the Castle of Madness and place the egg in the boiling pool (1f), then remove it from the pool with your spoon. Select the egg in your inventory and click it to remove the shell, gaining a Boiled Egg. 

Head to the room of riddles, use the match on the bottle on the left pedestal (7b), then place the egg in the bottle. Take the Crystal Pyramid from the drawer that pops open. Move forward to the room of insanity and select the pyramid (8d). Add the crystal to the top of it in close-up and use the minotaur amulet to open a secret compartment on it. Take the Hand Wheel Key from inside. Use the hand-wheel key on the round metal door (8e) to gain access to the safe.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: The Safe

Enter the safe and watch the cutscene after which Yudzhit will give you a pile of Diamonds and Grain. Grab the Bottle of Cologne (10a) (completing your object collection), and take the Piece of the Statue from on top of the chest (10b). Next click the steps (10c), which need to be pressed in a specific order: wood (top), marble (middle), bronze (bottom), silver (fourth down), and gold (second down).

Click the passageway that opens and complete the item-matching puzzle inside. Once complete, take the Empty Cartridge. Examine the bellows (10d), click them once to see that they don’t work, then again to remove them. Select the horn (10e), take the Manuscript, and note that what you’re missing for the statue (10f) are a crown and a hand.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: Talking to Braeloff

Move to Leproch’s house, select the paint area (11a), and take the Black Paint. Go to the tavern and place the ink recipe on the table (12a). You can also put the bottle of cologne on the table, along with the black paint. 

Head to the fisherman’s hut, select the bird cage (13a), and add the diamonds and grain, closing the hatch afterward. Once the bird has eaten the grain, reopen the hatch and retrieve the Diamonds. Move to the cave and add the piece of the statue to the statue on the left (14a).

Go to Anvil Peak and talk to Braeloff, who gives you a Metal Saw. Give him the sunglasses, then go to the Island of Exile. Use the saw on the metal grate (15a), then take the Cube Tile and the Key from the skeleton in the hole.

Pop to the lower island and add the cube tile to the stone slab (2b), and then go to the Castle of Madness. Select the boat (1g) and use the key to open the small compartment, taking the Corkscrew and Leather Roll from inside.

Back at the tavern, use the empty bottle on the wine barrel (12b) to get a Bottle of Wine, which you can add to your ingredients on the table (12a). You can now make your ink, placing weights on the left scale and the cups and sometimes weights on the right:

• Black paint: 8-weight on the left, black cup and 5-weight on the right
• Red wine: 5-weight on the left, red cup and 1-weight on the right
• Solvent: both 1-weights on the left, pink cup on the right

Once complete, click the table once more to collect the Ink Ingredients. Select the empty cartridge in your inventory, then add the ink ingredients to receive the Cartridge.

Move to the hanging gardens and click the tree in the background (17a). Use the note in your inventory to pin it to the tree, giving you the whole circular pattern. Go to the schooner wreckage, click the red tube (5b), and press the correct sections on its lid to get the Tracing Paper. The order you click doesn’t matter (see the image below for which sections to push down).

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: The Air Element

Go to the labyrinth and use the cartridge on the pendulum device (6e) and then close it in, revealing a Key. In the same close-up use the key on the silver plate next to where you put the cartridge, releasing the pendulum. Once the pendulum has finished drawing its pattern, use the tracing paper to make a copy and then take back the Tracing Paper. 

Head to the volcanic caverns and use the tracing paper on the pattern on the wall (18a), which gives you the code 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24. Look at the large box (18b) and enter the code on the top to open it and get the Air Element. 

Now move to the room of insanity and click the pedestal (8c) to get a close-up, then again to look at the miniature image of the room. Move the circles so that the path makes a way to the left-side doorway (see the image above). Click the door (8f) and place the air element on the shelf to open it. Click the space behind the door for a close-up and take the Vacuum Container.   

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: Fiding a Pearl

At the lower island, use the vacuum container on the purple cones in the tree (2c) to collect the Cones of Paralysis. Move to the sunken hall and click on the coral to the left (19a) and use the cones on the worms, allowing you to use your knife on the coral to claim a Pearl. 

Go back to the safe, attach the bellows to the horn (10d), then give the pearl and the diamonds to Yudzhit (10g). He will give you the Whistle in return. Attach it to the bellows (10d), then use them to collect the Lever. Use the bellows again for a cutscene, during which the Minotaur is summoned, and you’ll automatically move to the labyrinth. 

Click the top-left room (6f) and add the lever to the hole in the wall in the close-up. Activate the lever to use the ram and then pick the Bull Head Key up from the floor of the labyrinth. Add the bullhead key to where you earlier placed the diamond key (6d), click it again, and the back doors will open. You now have access to the Minotaur's Lair!
