This is one amusing adventure game. It has a lot of jokes that can make you laugh
a lot. The story about a young primitive indian, Quetzel, who works as a birdkeeper.
He's in search of the famous Crystall Skull to save the tribe. He doesn't realize
the important until he meet the lovely princess, Xochi, who help him at the temple.
And he must defeat the evil plan of Snakeskirt, the commander. So here is the
hints ( although you can just turn on the hints but I'll help you anyway ) :


SNOOP AROUND
Get the flower from outside the hut. Then walk out until you meet the Shaman.
Walk around again until you see another Indian. Talk to him. He suggest you to
talk to one of the creeps at the far end. Go there. Give the flower to the "used
to be" lovely girl. She'll tell you a secret. Memorize it. Then talk to the 3
headed fat man ( The middle one is telling the truth ). Go to the back door. Look
in the pot and get the fresco ( DON'T walk to the left or you'll die !!! ). Go
back and find the wolf den. Go out through the hole. Yup, fresh air !!

Go inside the ruined temple. Talk to the chief. Meet his Xochi, her lovely daughter.
Hey .. back to your job OK, don't stare too much !!! Ask the chief about everything.

Walk around the city and notice that you can't go anywhere except going inside
the temple.

Then go to the temple. Go inside until you see a guard. Look at the mural on the
wall. Use the fresco there. Memorize the sequence. Be socialized to the guard
and you'll get caught ( that's the point ). Talk to other prisoner and wait until
the Shaman shows up. He'll give you the magic map. Then repeat again this act
until you'll get caught for the second time. This time he'll give magic skill
to shapeshifter. After you get those magical ability, try the shapeshifter to
go out from the jail.

Back to the temple again. This time go to the upper door ( don't go to the guard ).
Open the cabinet. Collect these stuff : stick, obsidian, earplug, pot, mantle,
2 magic powder, reed, and cup. Then climb until the top shelves. Move around,
wait until the guard open the cabinet and.... revenge time. Kick his butt !!!
Got it. Get his bird costume. Then you can go back to his post inside the temple.
This time the medicine man shows up. Use the red powder to blind him. Then talk
to Xochi. She'll suggest you to meet the emperor in his castle.


MEET THE EMPEROR
Now the market can be entered freely. Go there and prepare for some trading. First
of all, try your luck on the "guess the place" game. Win approximately 20 beans
( get it by 7 right guess ). Then go inside the market to the right. First, talk
to the man on the top. Trade his knife with 8 beans, his rope with pot and mantle,
and his feather and flagon with the medallion from the bird costume. Next, talk
to the girl on the right. Trade flagon and feather for 5 beans. Then talk to
the fruit seller. Trade 2 beans with fruit and maze, then 3 beans with the ointment.
After that go out to the top left. And amazingly there's a boatman here. Where
does he come from ??? Talk to him. He'll take you with a boattrip if you give
him the bird costume with the medallion. SHIT, you just sold it !!!

Back to the market. Talk to the man again. He'll trade the medallion if you give
him his feather, the flagon plus 3 beans. What a rip off !!! Talk to the girl
on the right. And another badluck, she just sold the feather to the featherwork
lady near the zoo. OK, just pay her 5 beans for the flagon. Go to the featherwork.
Click on the feathercraft on the wall. Trade it with earplug, obsidian, and the
cup. Now back to the merchant in the market. Try to give him the feathercraft.
He won't accept it that way. OK, OK try to open it !! Doesn't work !!! Back to
the featherwork. Try to open it in front of the lady. Then ask her to open it
for you. Back again to the merchant in the market. Trade the feather, flagon,
plus 3 beans with the medallion.

Give the bird costume to the boatman. Near the castle, jump to the beam on the
