Elansar Hint & Tips
The first objective is to repair your boat and find your oars.
For this you will need to seek and find objects.
Start by making a tour of the island to discover the site.
A tip would be to go around yourself at each point of view to discover new places sometimes hidden, as well as objects.
You have discovered a puzzle with a big knob, but it seems to do nothing?
Do not focus on it, try to look for other places.
Look for example if there is nothing hidden under the stones next to the beach.
You found some sand? Good, but there may be something else!
Look in the thick foliage of the island next to the pond, a cave may be hidden there.
You found nails? Do not hesitate to come often, it can be used for any type of puzzle, and also to repair your boat!
You have finally entered the locked cave?
Several objects are to be taken, the hammer will surely be useful for repairing the boat.
The wooden box on the desktop is locked? Try a different point of view about this one, a mechanism for opening it must be hidden on the side.
The elevator will not lead you to only one floor, the outside knob will allow you to choose it.
Do not hesitate to examine every floor, a visual clue will be very useful to solve the wooden box puzzle.
You’ll need a sword hidden in one of the caves to cut and collect some items, try to release it with the hammer.
You can cut a piece of rock on the right of the hidden cave.
In the pond at the bottom right, use the hook with the rope to get the oar.
You can also cut a piece of plant in the pond.
Can not find the container for water? Turn around yourself just after entering the locked cave, and look down.
Use the 4 elements in the compartments of the tank, then get back to release the woman.
Thank you for playing 🙂
