The sequel to Sir Loin and the Coming of Age starts right where the first game left off, and like its predecessor, it has a fun sense of humour and engaging puzzles. (It also, unfortunately, has the same sloppy approach to spelling and punctuation, but we'll let that slide.) You don't need to have played the first game to play this one, but it wouldn't hurt. Many of the characters from the first game show up again, plus a boy named Colin that I remember seeing in the author's <i>Escape from the House</i> game.
I'm not sure if this game is larger than the first one, but it feels larger. In <i>Coming of Age</i>, you get to explore the castle, its grounds, and the nearby village. In <i>The Phantom Dennis</i>, you travel much further afield, by means of a very clever location called the World Map, which gets new places to visit added to it as you learn about them. Much fun, and gives a real sense of making progress in the game.
The puzzles are a good set, many of which reuse items in new ways, and many of which require you to combine items into new ones. Some of them are tricky and I admit I had to cheat to figure some of them out. More cluing would help with this. For example, there seems no reason why I shouldn't be able to use the string with the handkerchief. Also, the guard in the castle is helpful is you show some things to him; there should be more of this, so he has a comment on each of them, in case you're a bit stuck.
You might also get stuck because you need an item you simply haven't seen yet. It's hard to know you might want, for example, a handkerchief if the person carrying it never uses it in front of you.
Another point: as far as I know, you can't lock yourself into an unwinnable position in the game. This is a GOOD thing, and I do appreciate the effort. I will definitely want to play more games by this author.
But what's my biggest complaint about the game? The ending. Boo and hiss. I gotta say, if the game hadn't ended when it did, the command "stab king", or as you say in Questorian, "use knife on king" would've been my next command. I'm over it now, and all is forgiven, but man.

Why did I say this game was short? No idea. Also David Welbourn there is a way to get into an unwinnable position. When you talk to sir halibut after wearing the face mask if you leave, the doctor won't tell you about the disease. Also if you don't talk to colin and examine the poster you will be in an unwinnable position.

That was a good game. Lots to do. Some of the descriptions were lame, but I liked the humour. And there are secret endings!

Complicated and long. Some of the puzzle solutions were a bit too abstract... I would have liked a few more in games hints. But I really enjoy the humor of this series.

Help! After wandering around for ages I finally gave in and read the walkthrough. But where do I find the club?

Can you remember what quest it was used in? I think the only club is in the whack a rat game

I really enjoyed the first game, but i am having so many problems with this one. I am stuck at the very beginning. I have read all walkthroughs i could find but noones having this problem. I need to search the urn to rind the ruby, but it wont let me search the urn. I cant find anything in the four rooms i have access to give me the "hint" to search the urn. Please help.

Hi Blake. The hint for the urn is on the tortoise. If you use the tortoise on the tank, and then examine the tortoise, you will see a message scrawled on it's shell that can only be seen in the blue light from the tank. With that message, you can search the urn.
Hope that helps

Hi Dave. The carnivora nuns are notorious vegetable/fruit haters. are you carrying something that could be considered a vegetable or fruit?

I have the same problem Blake had in January. Neither is it possible to examine the tortoise twice nor has it messages in blue light inscribed by examining it only once if it´s in the tank. Could there be rare new problems between Quest and it´s games if one has changed to windows 7 which Blake possibly could have done?
"Sir Loin trying to grow up" and other "easy-seeming-command-aggregates" function perfectly but i already had an unsolvable operating situation in "Barbarian" no one seems to have. With walkthrough plus explanation by the author in a case without riddles to solve there is no more chance for me to make something wrong witch could be made right. To me it´s always windows7. Could there be other basic, not totally expressed and changing problems with the continuity of functioning of quest and it´s games? Is this easy to fix, way to complicated to maintain in Quest for every software-situation, or could there be general hints like: reinstalling newly downloaded quest in some cases could have any possibility to change something?

You're supposed to 'look at' the tortoise, not examine it.

I love these, but this one seems a lot harder. I want to solve it by myself but I may have to look through the walkthrough anyway.

Okay, I'm stuck right now. I've read the poster and I've talked to the boy. I tried to read the poster again and I've spoken to the sick sir, but I still don't have Chipperwoods. (Or whatever it's called.) What am I doing wrong?

OH that sounds weird. If youve done what youre supposed to. You read the poster, spoke to colin and wore the mask and dealt with Sir Halibut. It should unlock it. Have you done all the Halibut stuff? with the mask?
Comment by LinaLyssic

Yes I have. I think I may have made a mistake with the poster. Although I'm not 100% sure I read the poster. I can remember you were able to read what's on the poster by just using the look command and I'm not exactly sure I've read it. I'll just have to try again, I guess.

I have tried the game once more and again the new location is not added to my world map. I have used the command read poster but it told me I couldn't read the poster. So now I'm pretty much screwed.

did you speak to the doctor after speaking to sir halibut? I have just downloaded the game and tried it. You need to speak to colin, have looked at the poster and spoken to sir halibut and then the doctor. It then opens up the Chippers field. It worked in the download.
I dont know if theres a problem with playing it online and im sorry youve had trouble.
But just to check... you have the face mask made from the ties and clean hanky? spoken to colin who mentioned the juggling? spoken to sir halibut who mentioned the circus AND then spoken to the doctor?
Hope this helps.

Oh god. I must be retarded. I didn't speak to the doctor, so I didn't get the location. Thank you so much for your patience (:

Can someone please tell me how to get the string? I restarted and still got stuck without a string.
