You begin the quest at your home. Talk with your father. Look at
the seagull. Poor thing, it's covered with oil. Take the detegent
and the rag beside the box. Pour some detegent on the rag and use
it to clean the seagull. Before your father leave, he'll pass you
a bottle of fertilizer and a transmitter. Look at the tank of
water. It's full of oil, pour some of the fetilizer inside and
let the bacteria eats up the oil. Look at the cage, the gerbil
is thirsty. Get the water beside the cage and give it to the
gerbil.
Take the letter on the chair. It contains your certificate and a
membership card. Take the letter on the chair and dump it in the
recycle box. Look at the computer. Look at it a second time to
play King Quest V. Get the aluminium can on the table and throw
into the recycle box. Pick up the trash bag. Look at the
blackboard. Click on the individual part of the drawing for more
details.
It's time to leave the room. Open the door with the combination
number 9731. You are now inside the swimming pool. Read the
instructions on the blackboard. Talk to dolphin a few times. Get
mackeral from the bucket and feed the dolphin a few times. Go
inside the pool and ride the dolphin. Get the frisbee and throw
it at the dolphin. Play with the dolphin until it starts talking.
Talk to it. It's name is Delphineus. Throw the frisbee at the
dolphin a few more times. Look at the propeller and see how it
was kept safe. Pull the lever beside the gate to open the hatch.
The dolphin will then swim away.

take the trident. Go to the temple again. Use the trident to poke
the three eyes. The Oracle appears, talk to it. Arrange the mosiac.
The Oracle will then ask you three riddles and tell you to click
on the picture to answer it. For my case the 3 answers are : MAN,
FISH and LOVE. (I don't know whether everytime the same riddles
will be asked or not) The oracle will tell you to gain the trust
of the citizens of Eluria before it tell you the prophecy.
Swim outside. Enter the building with a few pillar. Talk to the
golden mask. Turn the pillar until all 9 parts are in the correct

plant and watch what happened. The octopus has opened the
bottle for you. Get the bottle.
Swim back to the anemore, the red fish is being eaten by the
anemore. Use the fish lure on it. Since the anemore can only
can't digest the key, it got vomit out. Get the skeleton key.
Go to the giant head. Use the bottle on the ear to catch the
flashlight fish.
Swim to the toxic cave. Release the flashlight fish to light up
the cave. There is a brick wall inside the cave. Remove the

rag to ease the lock, and then open it with the skeleton key.
