The Longest Journey Hints

How do I make mixtures?

  • 1 of 7: Klacks left instructions here in his laboratory.
  • 2 of 7: The page in his big book is torn, but you can read the recipe for the first spell to get you started.
  • 3 of 7: Find colored vials and mix them together in the cauldron pot in combinations of 3.  If you goof, April will announce that it didn't work.  If you get one right, the new spell will be poured into one of the empty vials automatically.
  • 4 of 7: Find the rest of the page to read the recipes for the remaining 4 spells.
  • 5 of 7: You may have seen that page while you were walking around the labyrinth.
  • 6 of 7: It is a described as a parchment scroll.
  • 7 of 7: When you have it, go to the close-up of the book and use the torn page there.
