How to complete Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse (Walkthrough) - Part 1: Druid Village

You’ll first need to choose your difficulty level. Both easy and normal modes have a tutorial, while on-screen sparkles on your map will show locations with possible actions, active areas and objectives, hidden object scenes, and collectibles. Hints and Puzzle Skip will recharge in 15 and 30 seconds respectively, with this happening twice as slowly in normal mode. Hard mode removes the tutorial and all in-game sparkles, while hints and fast-skip timers take twice as long again to recharge.

Once you’ve watched the introductory scene, and if you skip the tutorial, click the branches covering the middle of the screen three times and collect the Notebook, then click them once more to reveal the first main screen. Pick up the Hammer Handle (1a), then get a close-up of the bridge (1b). Grab the Manuscript on the bottom left of the close-up, then the Hammer Head that was underneath it. Connect the two hammer pieces in your inventory to get the Hammer.

Back on the main screen, click the banner on the wall (1c) to get a close-up, then click it again to move it aside. Use your hammer on the planks that were behind the banner to get some Nails, then click on the Planks to collect them too. Take the Knife and Pickaxe Handle from the hole behind the planks. Go back to the bridge and use the planks on the gap to lay them down, add the nails, then use the hammer to fix the bridge. You can now head across the bridge, so do so.

There are unlimited balls, so don’t panic. Once completed, the fountain is fixed.
