Stuck in the cave

GameHouse Forums > lost-lagoon-the-trail-of-destiny-forum

When I clicked on the first cave location, I was thrust into darkness and no source of light in my inventory. I would go back to previous locations to search for a flashlight or torch that I must have missed, but this location has no back button, and no map on which to select another location. How do I get out of this dead end?

Hi MsJanLinda,

Just move your cursor to the middle bottom of your screen (just above the inventory line) and an arrow will appear, which you click onto. You have to take the right cave. Later on in the game you can make a torch which enables you to visit the left cave.

If you still can't find the way out, let me know. Thanks!

Thanks so much for your suggestion, unfortunately, it doesn't work. I get the hand cursor with the pointing finger until I am well and truly over the inventory box, then it changes to an arrow. Clicking it, however, does nothing as there is nothing in the inventory for it to select. I can't go back to a previous location in any way that I can see.

Hi MsJanLinda,

I am so sorry to hear, that this didn't worked for you. I have played this game until the end without any problems.

Try this, it might solve your problem:
Right click your shortcut and choose Properties. Click on Find Target. It will open up a second window, leave that one open. Right click on your shortcut and delete it.

Right click on the ....exe file from this game and create a shortcut. This new shortcut you can move from this window to wherever you want it to be, just take it with your left mouse hold down button and move it.

Now do the following, depending the system you are running:
Windows 95, 98 and NT: Right click on the shortcut and go to Properties
Choose the Compatibility Tab by clicking on it. Look down to Input settings
Tick the Box: Turn off advanced text services for this program

Vista: Right click on the game and go to properties
Choose the Compatibility Tab by clicking on it. Look down to settings
Tick the box: Disable display scaling on high DPI settings

If it doesn't works, Let me know, so I can guide you to uninstall it and then delete everything from your game savings and reinstall the game, it wipes out everything and you will have to start from scratch.

Good Luck, and let me know if you can solve it, thanks!

Cheers

Thank you for such detailed instructions, but I wasn't having any luck. I think it's because my new computer is no longer a Windows XP format, but something called Windows 7, which previously screwed up Jewel Quest for me. I think that's the problem, which means I can't play this game at all, at least that's what happened with J.Q.
