Now convinced of her sister's treachery, Leda wants to help us track her down. Leda finds us in the treasury and we show her the diary. With the Sun Goddess' help, we access the royal treasury and find Valla's diary detailing how she faked the stag attacks to convince everyone of a war that never existed. She tells us of the real Valla's death and that she was the one who gave Leda her power of the Golden Touch. We look for more evidence and find a way to communicate with the Sun Goddess, herself. We're not so sure about the Queen's intentions. She defends her actions, convinced by Queen Valla's story of good intentions. We scale the castle wall and find a way inside. He tells us to find Leda inside the castle, then takes off again. He says we should be more careful next time, and that he's now even with us for when we saved him from the bear earlier. Jack tackles us, throwing us out of the castle gates and saving us (and himself) from being turned to gold. Leda unleashes her Golden Touch, the spell coursing through the people of Barsia and turning the castle keep into a field of golden statues. It takes a sour turn, however, when Valla orders Leda to turn the people of Barsia into a golden army. It's a big, grandiose display, inspiring her people with love for their kingdom and their Queen. We fix the bear and go to see Queen Valla's big speech. We should probably add "Fairytale Mechanic" to our business cards.
#Goldilocks and the three bears the mystery manual#
The Sentry hands us a repair manual and tells us to fix it. It seems all of Barsia is gathered inside the gates, waiting for the Queen to address her people, which she won't do until her Golden Bear is repaired. Leda tells us about the Fallen Star, of which one half is said to be in the Artifact we're holding. Leda and the Sentry are waiting for us just inside the gates. Jack races off and we head into the castle keep. He tells us this case is much more complicated than it appears and tells us not to plan on getting the Fallen Star, as he intends to make a wish on it, himself. Hey! It's our old friend, Jack! We fix his broken ax and throw it to him, just in time for him to disable the Golden Bear and escape. Once we reach the castle gates, we find a man being attacked by a Golden Bear. Unfortunately, the cliff-diver took out the bridge to the castle, so we have to make a rope swing to get across. A Silver Stag tries to stop our progress by jumping off a cliff onto us, but we adeptly dodge being crushed by it, because we're the Fairytale Detective and that's how we roll. We set off through the Barsian docks, following the Sentry's directions. We return the Sentry's horn, and he tells us the way to the castle keep. She urges us to leave, then walks off, blocking the path behind her by turning it to solid gold. She introduces herself as Princess Leda of Barsia. While looking for the horn, we run into the woman with the Golden Touch from the intro video. We show him the Artifact, and he agrees to help us bring it to the Queen, but not before we help him find his Hunting Horn. It's stopped from attacking us by a Sentry who steps out alongside it. Our investigation begins, but we don't get far before a Golden Bear leaps out of the trees. Thankfully, we're able to grab a branch to stop our fall and climb a rope up to safety. She sics her Silver Stag on us, upending our cart and sending us over a cliff. No sooner does it conclude then we run into the same woman seen in the intro video. We're dispatched to the location as the Fairytale Detective and given our briefing (see above). The boy is saved by a mysterious woman, who turns the Stag to gold and urges him to run. She orders her Silver Stag companion to get rid of the boy and walks away. The boy brushes the snow off and picks it up, only to see a strange woman step through a magical barrier. A boy happily plays with a hoop and stick, until his hoop rolls over and unearths a strange Artifact. The game opens on the peaceful Kingdom of Barsia.
