How to complete Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5: The Minotaur’s Lair
Once in the Minotaur’s Lair, pick up the Rail (1a) and then click the corpse on the right (1b) for a close-up. Click the shield to move it, then take the Trident. Select the straw back right (1c), take the Jug of Water, then use the trident on the straw to find and then open a wooden box. Take the Tiles from inside the box. Come out of the close-up and select the cell (1d) and take the Manuscript.
Go back to the room of riddles and select the bookcase (2a). Add the tiles you just found, then move them to create the calculation 2÷2+2=3 on the bottom row. This opens a secret area behind the bookcase leading to the Great Library. Head inside.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: The Great Library
Select the plant pot on the left (3a), which makes it fall and break. Click it on the ground to take the Hanging Bucket. Now choose the book (3b) and click it in close-up to turn the page and find a Casket Button. Pick up the second Rail (3c), then click the ground in front of the bookcase (3g) at the back of the room for a close-up and add the rails to fix the ladder runners. Click the ladder (3d) to slide it to the right.
Move back to the room of riddles and use the jug of water on the vase in the middle of the room (2b), which opens a compartment from which you can take a Rope Ladder. Next, go to the tree life, click the fallen treehouse (4a), click the owl now inside, then click the owl once more to begin a straightforward feather matching puzzle (mistakes aren’t a problem). Once complete the owl will fly away, leaving you to find a box in the hole the owl was in. Use the casket button on the box and take the Disk Knife from inside.
Head to the sunken hull, click the door at the back (5a), and use the disk knife to open it. Click the open door, complete the item-matching puzzle inside, and take the Bench Piece. Go to the underground lake and use the bench piece (6a) on the large shell, then take the Metalworking Scissors from underneath. Also, note the signs on the bottom of the shell.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: How to defeat the Minotaur
Back at the minotaur's lair, use the scissors on the corpse’s breastplate (1b) and take the Piece of Pattern from behind it. Move to the great library once more and select the area above where you moved the latter to (3e) and add the pattern piece to the lid there, then click the design again to open a tomb. Take the Empty Beaker, and your final Manuscript (after moving the arm) from the skeleton inside, as well as the Keeper’s Manuscript underneath it.
Go to the safe and give the keeper’s manuscripts to Yudzhit (7a). After a cutscene go back to the minotaur’s lair, select its pile of gold (1e), and use the rose petals. Take the Cursed Bull Ring, then watch as you defeat the minotaur! Click the foot of the column (1f) and use your hammer to break the stone finger and collect the Signet Ring. Now select higher up the column, where a mechanism has been revealed (1g). Pull the handle, and light will flood into the cell in the corner.
Head to the cave, click the statue on the left (8a), and use the signet ring in the star-shaped hole, then click it again to make the water run through it, popping out the jeweled eyes. Now click the large bowl in its hands (8b) for a close-up of it and take the Ruby and the Sapphire from the water. Finally, select the mechanism in the center of the cave (8c) and click the top of it. It will now open, and you can take the Emerald from inside.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: How to find the Spell Book
Move to Anvil’s Peak and click the shed at the back, where you can now use the hanging bucket at the back of the shed to claim the Half-eclipse Tile. Go back to the safe and select the treasure chest (7b). Use the three jewels on it in close-up and it will open, allowing you to take the Jade Skull from inside.
Take it to the ancient graveyard in Dark Lands, click the henge (9a), and add the skull to the empty pillar. View the henge once more to begin a light puzzle. Switch the skulls by first clicking one and then another until they’re all facing into the middle. You can tell where each one can be swapped (each has two options) by looking at the lines on the ground. Once completed, take the Water Element from the ground in the middle of the area where all the skeletons point.
Go to the room of insanity and use the pedestal (10a) to make a path to the door as shown above. Click the door once the path is made (the lights will come on, 10b), add the water element to the shelf on it, click the desert scene behind the door, and take the Books. Move back to the great library. You can add your tile to the floor by the dome (3f) while you’re here, then click the left bookcase (3d). Add the missing book, which opens a secret panel. Click the buttons marked 4, 12, and 17 and the shelves reveal a doorway. Click it to move to a simple missing objects puzzle, after which you’ll receive the Spell Book.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: Finding the dragon shells
Move to the Elder’s house, take the Broom (11a), then give the spell book to Maaron. After a cutscene, you’ll receive a Lever and the Elixir of Animation Formula. Put the formula on the table (11b), then click the formula once pinned to see what you need to make it. Click the nymph statue (11c) and use the empty beaker to gather the Nymph’s Tears. Add them to the yellow pot on the table (11b).
While in Druid’s Valley, go to the hills and use your hammer on the skull (12a) to get the first Chest of Gold. Now go to the crossroads at Floating Islands and use the lever on the grate (13a) to open it, then click the open hole and add the rope ladder. Click the hole once more and you can grab the Full-eclipse Tile. While in the same close-up, use your knife to cut away the ivy on the pendulum. Keep clicking and you’ll open a hatch, revealing a mechanism that needs a switch.
Move back to the cave in the Dungeon and take back the knuckleduster as the second Chest of Gold item (8d). At the underground lake, use the broom on the buried eggs (6b), then get a close-up of them. Keep clicking the eggs to break them all, then pick up the Dragon-egg Shells and the revealed Switch.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: How to enter the Ruined Temple
Go to the schooner wreckage next. Select the Naga (14a) and collect the golden net as the third Chest of Gold item. Back in the minotaur’s lair, click the minotaur wreckage (1f) and collect back the nose ring (Chest of Gold four).
Next move to the great library, add the full-eclipse tile to the floor (3f), then click the dome above (3h) to start a tile-moving puzzle. The tile with the smallest black area on its left side needs to be on the far left, moving through black in the center to the tile with the smallest black circle on its right side being on the far right. There’s no trick to it. Once complete the dome opens. Click it once more and click the island on the right, moving it in the diorama and in real life.
You now have access to the Ruined Temple on the Floating Islands, so move there. Here you’ll find your final morphing object and final figurine if you’ve been collecting them. Pick up the Father Figurine (15a), then click the ball on the pillar (15b) for a close-up and click it again to open it up. Take the Dice from inside. Click the water tunnel on the left (15c) and take the Crown Piece, then get a close-up of the left tower (15d) for a simple object-matching puzzle. Once complete, take the Crown Piece and connect the two crown pieces in your inventory to make the Crown.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: How to make the Elixir or Animation
Head back to the tree of life and add the father figurine to the others (4b), then click where the light is shining on the ground (4c). You can now click the stone button in the center close-up, which raises a large monolith in its place. Examine it to use it to reach and collect the Tree of Life Fruit.
Go to the Elder’s house, select the table (11b), and add the fruit to the yellow pot by putting it on the table and then cutting it with your knife. Add the dragon shells to the bowl, use the crusher to crush them down, then add those to the yellow bowl too. Put the lid on the pot, then pick up the Elixir of Animation.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: Finding the cursed items
Move back to the crossroads, click the hole (13a), attach the switch to the device, and switch the device from plus to minus to stop the pendulum. Head to Leproch’s Tomb in the Dark Lands next and examine the two struggling children (16a). Use the hammer on their hands to free the Cursed Scepter.
Click the child at the back next (16b) and use the knife on the floor where the sword is pointing to make a hole, then take the Cursed Sword by clicking it. Also, click the statue of the man (16c) and take the Cursed Key from his hand, then select the coffin (16d) and use the elixir on the corpse of Leproch. After the cutscene, you’ll receive a Key. Use the key back in his coffin (16d) to get the fifth Chest of Gold.
Back at the crossroads, examine the stopped pendulum (13b), click the hand of it to reveal a door, then use the cursed key to open it and get the sixth Chest of Gold. Once you’ve got it, click the door once more to get another Key. Move back to the ruined temple and select the ruined tower on the right (15e), click the device with the chains coming from it, and use the key to activate it. This lowers a ladder to the top of the left tower (15f), so select that for a close-up and keep clicking the image until you get the Handle.
Go to the Elder’s house, click the throne (11d), and add the cursed scepter to the left armrest. The mouth on the back of the chair will open, dropping a Glass Punchcard. Take the scepter back, and it will become your seventh Chest of Gold. Go back to the great library and use the handle on the organ (3i), clicking it once more to operate it. A Spring drops to the floor, so pick it up. Get a close-up of the base of the globe (3j) and use the spring on the device there, then click the globe itself to open it and get the Fire Element.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: Snakes and Ladders
Move to the room of insanity and use the pedestal once more, this time lining up the door beneath the last one you opened (see the image above). Examine the now-lit door, add the fire element to the door’s shelf, click the icy background, and take the Plank.
Go to the safe and add the crown to the statue (7c), which reveals the statue’s hand. Take the Stone Tablet from it. Select the tablet in your inventory and use your hammer on it, eventually revealing a Wooden Punchcard. Go to the minotaur’s lair once more and use the two punchcards on the cell door (1d) to open it. Select the now open door again to begin a simple hidden objects puzzle, then receive the Spreading Tool. Back at the cell, use the tool on the eye of the statue’s head (7d) and click the eye until it turns and gives up the Lens.
Head to the harpy’s nest, select the statue (17a) and attach the lens. Click the lens to move its angle, then select the spot on the ground the light is pointing to (17b). Push the sword into the ground, click the hill that rises to get a close-up, and click the dirt to unveil a box. Back on the main screen, click the box to open a board game, and add your dice to it. Select the dice cup to start a game of Snakes and Ladders. You have no agency at all, so just have to keep trying until you win. This can be very frustrating, but it is what it is (you can always skip it). When you do win, you get the Ratchet Strap. The hill disappears once more, so take back the sword as your eighth Chest of Gold.
Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: The final battle
Go to the ruined temple and use the strap on the grate on the right tunnel (15g). Click again to bend the bars, click the device behind the grate, then add your plank to begin a symbol-matching puzzle. You’ve seen the symbols on the base of the shell earlier (6a), so simply copy the pattern. This opens a compartment, and you'll receive the Sanctuary Tile.
Heat to lower island, where you can finally complete the tiles on the stone slab (18a). Take the final Chest of Gold from the open compartment, then move to the arena. Click the top of the pedestal (19a) and add the chest of gold to get a cutscene and receive a Tile from Leproch. Click the base of the pedestal (19b) and add the tile to begin a pair-finding puzzle. There’s no trick to it, and no time limit, but the image below will speed things up. You’ll receive a Key.
Still in the arena, use the key on the axe in close-up (19c), then click it again to claim the Pole Axe. Use the axe on the dwarf statue (19d) to get the Golden Cup and add it to the chest of gold items (19a) to trigger another cutscene.
