Jewels of the Oracle II -- Gems of Darkness Hints

Disclaimers

  • Jewels of the Oracle II is not a traditional adventure game; it is a game of puzzles.  As fans of the original Jewels of the Oracle know, it is not a plot or story line or character interaction that draw a user into the game.  It is the environment, the graphics... but most of all, the puzzles.

    As such, JOTO II presents a challenge, in terms of developing a hint file, since many of the puzzles are either too intricate for traditional "hints", or too arbitrary (in their solution), in much the same way that it would be practically impossible to create a hint file for a chess game.

    Some "starter" hints are provided within the game itself, through the paradigm of the Professor's log book.  Some are "spoilers", and should only be used as a last resort.  Contrastingly, others are so obtuse as to be of little help at all.
