This is the official walkthrough for Save the Princess Gayme! Sorry about the numbering system, Newgrounds' text editor is funky.
- Click or press Space to advance your dialogue and the knight dialogue.
- Follow the tutorial in the upper left corner:
- Go north to the castle entrance and talk to the snowwoman on the left.
- Enter the castle and keep walking north.
- Talk to the king. Acquire button.
- Leave the castle.
- Give the button to the snowwoman by dragging and dropping the button from your inventory to the snowwoman. Acquire carrot.
- Go south to the town square, then enter the bakery (northwest building). Talk to the baker and acquire freeze dried bread. Leave the bakery.
- Enter the botany garden (northeast building). Interact with and acquire the bucket from the top left corner.
- Interact with the spores on the table to organize them.
Spore Puzzle
- Hint: Flip through the Book of Shrooms to figure out which spores belong to which mushrooms.
- Drag and drop the spores to the correct mushroom packet. Once the spores are organized correctly, a dialogue will pop up, and upon advancing you’ll automatically exit to the botany garden.
- Solution:
- Talk to Herbert (the botanist) and tell him you’ve sorted the spores. Then interact with the spores again and choose/acquire the button shroom spore. Exit the spores and leave the botany garden.
- Go south of the town to the lake. Drag the bucket to the oil spill to clean up the oil.
Oil Spill Puzzle
- Hint: Clicking on an oil blob will invert itself and all neighboring oil blobs. Your goal is to remove all of the oil blobs.
- Solution: Click once on every oil blob except for the two in the middle. The order doesn’t matter.
- Once the oil spill is cleaned up, you will acquire a bucket of oil and a pengle.
- Go north to the town square and enter Kate’s novelty shop (southeast building). Give the pengle to Kate to acquire the unicorn horn. Leave the shop.
- Go east to the forest. Give the carrot to moony to get your house key back.
- Go west back to the town square and then continue west to the village.
- Use your house key on your house (northwest building) and enter.
- Pick up your unlit lantern from the bookshelf in the top left corner. Leave your house.
- In your inventory, combine the unlit lantern with the bucket of oil to acquire a lit lantern and an empty bucket.
- Go east to the town square and continue east through the forest until you reach the unicorn. Talk to the unicorn by dragging the unicorn horn to the unicorn.
- The unicorn will talk a lot, but also ask you three questions. Basically you just need to suck up to the unicorn, but if you’re somehow stuck then the questions should be answered in the following way:
Q: What do you think about my glorious hair today?
A: Um, it’s very glorious.
Q: Do I detect a hint of jealousy for my gloriously glorious hair?
A: I’m jealous.
Q: Are you even listening?
A: Yes! Tell me more!
- Once the conversation ends, the unicorn will give you magic water.
- In your inventory, combine the magic water with the freeze dried bread to create a portal to a future timeline through which you will acquire pizza.
- Go south to the slug cats and drag the button shroom spore to the empty tree stump. This will let you push the buttons to move the slug cats.
Slug Cat Puzzle
- Hint: The four slug cats have openings that must line up with the arrow at the top. Each button moves two different slug cats.
- Solution 1: Starting from the initial configuration (leave the puzzle room and come back to reset the slug cats):
- Click the first button 6 times.
- Click the second button 5 times.
- Click the third button 7 times.
- Click the fourth button 2 times.
- Solution 2: How to solve from any configuration (note: the cats will be numbered from 1-4 with the outermost cat being Cat 1 and the innermost being Cat 4)
- Click the second button until Cat 2 lines up to the top (The second button is the only one that moves this cat, so line it up first and then leave this button alone)
- Click the third and fourth buttons until Cat 4 is lined up to the top AND Cats 1 and 3 are in line with each other (not necessarily the top).
> The easiest way to do this is by clicking either the third OR fourth button until Cats 1 and 3 are in line with each other, and then alternate clicks between the third AND fourth button until Cat 4 is lined up to the top. (Alternating between the third and fourth buttons should keep Cats 1 and 3 in line)
- Click the first button until Cats 1 and 3 are lined up to the top.
- Walk through the slug cats and pick up the ancient relic.
- Go back to the town square and enter the bakery. Give the pizza to the baker. This will draw the crowds from the ramen shop to the bakery once you leave the bakery. So, uh, leave the bakery.
- Enter the ramen shop (southwest building). Pick up the full bowl of ramen. Leave the ramen shop.
- Go east to the village and to Shaun’s house (southwest building). Drag the bowl of ramen to his door. Enter Shaun’s house.
- Drag the ancient relic to the golden book on the bookshelf to acquire the relic with decoded riddle. Leave Shaun’s house.
- Go to the forest. Once you reach the unicorn, go north to the cave at the top of the map. Enter the cave.
- Drag the relic with decoded riddle to the stone wall to move the glyphs.
Cave Glyph Puzzle
- Hint: Use the decoded riddle to determine the correct positions of the animal glyphs. Clicking on a glyph will slide it to the empty location if it is connected by a line. The cave door will open once the glyphs are in the correct locations.
- Further hints with riddle explanation for those confused:
- “The snake stalks its prey from above” means the snake must be positioned above its prey, the mouse.
- “The wolf howls into an empty sky” means the wolf (notice the angle of its head) must be pointing to an empty spot.
- “The elephant turns away from its fear” means the elephant (notice the direction it’s facing) must be facing away from its fear, the mouse (maybe just a myth, but Mythbusters deemed it plausible).
- “The lion rules above them all” means the lion must be at the top-most location.
- To determine the positions, start with the lion at the top, then the snake/mouse/elephant relationship, and lastly the wolf.
- Solution:
- Enter the second cave for the cave tile puzzle.
Cave Tile Puzzle
- Hint: A path needs to be cleared through the tiles. Stepping on the tiles reveals numbers that signify the number of mines surrounding that tile (left, right, up, down, and diagonals).
- Solution:
- Exit the cave through the northeast exit and talk to the dragon.
- Continue east to find the princess and the prince.
- Untie either the prince or princess by interacting with the rope knot on the tree stump.
Rope Puzzle
- Hint: The rope needs to be untied by clicking on each segment in the correct order.
- Solution: Start with the loose end of the rope. Clicking on it should turn it bright yellow. Follow the rope through to the taut end.
- Once you get the princess down, talk to her and choose how you want the story to end.
Yay! You've saved the princess!
