Where is Rafkin's lab?
Go east out of the Kurak village and follow the road south until you come to a guardhouse. Go around the guard house and continue south to the river. Cross the river and head east. When you see a tar pit, turn south. Pass two more tar pits and head southeast and you should find the lab. If you can't find it, have Triolo offer Pinde to Heluzz so he will go into Eagle Eye mode. Look for three horizontal bars; these are the countertops of the lab.

How do I make gunpowder?
Get the wire screen and the mortar from the lab and have Rafkin or Spektor in your party. Go into the caves on the east valley wall and get potassium nitrate from any crystal garden. Follow the road east of Tichticatl past the grove of bamboo to the sulpher pits and use the wire screen to get sulpher. Use any tree to get a branch. Burn the branch in any oven or firepit to make charcoal. Put equal amounts of potassium nitrate, sulpher and charcoal into a mortar and use it to make gunpowder.

How do I make rifles?
You must have Rafkin in your party. Get some iron bamboo from the grove east of Ticticatl. Go to Rafkin's lab (see question 1). Say "rifle" to Rafkin and he'll make one rifle for every stick of bamboo you have. Use gunpowder on a rifle to load it. Only the Avatar, Jimmy, Rafkin, and Spector can use rifles.

How do I make grenades?
Get the metal bucket from the lab and get some tar in it. Get the scissors from the lab and use it to cut some cloth into strips. Use the bucket on the strips to make them into fuses. Get a hard clay pot. If you use the fuse on the pot and the character holding the fuse and pot is also holding five units of gunpowder, then the gunpowder, the fuse and the pot will disappear and a grenade will appear.

How do I get past the T-Rex guarding the Urali village?
When you give Topuru his mind back, he will offer you some turtle bait. Accept it. Use the turtle bait to call a turtle for each party member. Ride on the turtle's backs around the island with the T-Rex on it. If you refused the turtle bait, put each party member in solo mode and try to sneak them across the island one at a time.

How do I free the Fabozz?
Have Jimmy take a picture of it.

I ran out of plachta before I finished the Disquiqui quest. Where can I get some more?
You can't. You'll have to restore your game. If you saved after losing the plachta you'll have to start over.

How can I get up to the ledge with the girl and the gorilla?
Go to the west side of the river, then go north until you see the waterfall. Throw a grenade one square right of the boulder. It will move, blocking the waterfall and opening a cave entrance. The cave leads to the ledge.

The Sakkhra want me to kill a T-Rex! How do I do that?
Go west and north from the T-Rex and you should find ladders to go up two mesa levels. Walk back to the east and you'll come to a cliff edge with a boulder on it. Wait until the T-Rex walks underneath the boulder, then throw a grenade at the boulder. The boulder will fall off the cliff and kill the T-Rex.

How can I get to the Great Mesa?
You must have the fire axe from the lab. Walk onto the "finger" of land on the south mesa. You should see a very large tree. Use the fire axe on the tree to create a new bridge to the Great Mesa.

Where is the entrance to Kotl City?
Don't be fooled by the text, which says the entrance is far to the north. The entrance is just a few squares southeast of Teleporter Plaza.

Where is the moonstone locating device in Kotl City?
Use the top center teleporter pad, then walk straight north until you hit the wall. Don't go through the doorway, instead walk east along the wall and go into the last north doorway you find. You should come into a room with three teleporter pads. Take the bottom one in the back of the room and you'll teleport to the time-stop room, which holds the locating device.

I found Spector in Kotl City. How can I defeat him?
Go straight south from Spector and you should find a small pink control panel. Smash it to turn off Spector's force field.
