This is a newbie question and I feel so foolish asking this: I have the fireball, hat and 3 lives. But the first puzzle that needs me to use crank per the animation, I keep turning but it doesn’t do anything. Do I have to do other things first? Awesome game.

You need to light the pot at one torch, then quickly move and hold it under the wheel in the middle to open the door.

Thank you so much! !!!! OK I did that , turned crank, positioned pot under flame(heard 2 clicks like open and shut). But can’t figure out where this door is that should have opened. Do I have to move the pot after 1 click? I tried that but still 2 clicks.

ok. Figured it out. Your clue was deliberately misleading for lighting the pot but it got me there. Have first key and will now figure out what to do next. Again thanks!!!!

Sorry, I didn’t intend it to be misleading lol. But glad you got it!

I’m over 40% through and loving it! Also bought Wizard’s Apprentice on Itch. Any chance of a longer game like Helios? Rogue like?

I have definitely thought about making a rogue like for Playdate!

Brilliant! Dragon Crystal on my Sega game gear was my favorite back in the eighties. Love the dungeon and maze games that spawn randomly every time played.

Got the first boss and defeated. Have 2 keys since then. But the Boss didn’t really die or disappear- visibly. It just … stopped firingand I couldn’t get past it. Had to leave the room and come back. Then it was gone and I progressed.

I experienced the same bug. Re-entering the room let me proceed though.
