Lost Lands 3 Full Walkthrough (Golden Curse)

The Lost Lands series of fantasy-themed games mix a family-friendly story with hidden objects and puzzle-solving elements. In the series’ third installment, The Golden Curse, Susan returns to the Lost Lands after a number of terrible beasts are unleashed. She must first return the lands to their peaceful state, before returning home. This is no easy matter, so if you’re struggling with spotting any of the objects or working out any of the puzzle solutions, read on below for our Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse walkthrough.

How to complete Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 1

You’ll first need to choose your difficulty level. Both easy and normal modes have a tutorial, while on-screen sparkles on your map will show locations with possible actions, active areas and objectives, hidden object scenes, and collectibles. Hints and Puzzle Skip will recharge in 15 and 30 seconds respectively, with this happening twice as slowly in normal mode. Hard mode removes the tutorial and all in-game sparkles, while hints and fast-skip timers take twice as long again to recharge.

Once you’ve watched the introductory scene, and if you skip the tutorial, click the branches covering the middle of the screen three times and collect the Notebook, then click them once more to reveal the first main screen. Pick up the Hammer Handle (1a), then get a close-up of the bridge (1b). Grab the Manuscript on the bottom left of the close-up, then the Hammer Head that was underneath it. Connect the two hammer pieces in your inventory to get the Hammer.

Back on the main screen, click the banner on the wall (1c) to get a close-up, then click it again to move it aside. Use your hammer on the planks that were behind the banner to get some Nails, then click on the Planks to collect them too. Take the Knife and Pickaxe Handle from the hole behind the planks. Go back to the bridge and use the planks on the gap to lay them down, add the nails, then use the hammer to fix the bridge. You can now head across the bridge, so do so.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse Part 1 walkthrough: The well in Druid Valley

After speaking to the girl (Fiora) stuck in the well, click the wooden trough (2a) to collect the Manuscript and the Xylophone Hammer underneath it. Next, get a close-up of the lone horse (2b) and use the knife to cut free the Rope with Hook. Attach it to the horse saddle by clicking the metal stud at the back, then look at the well (2c). Attach the rope hook to the winding device by clicking the hook, then go back to the horse and click it on the hand pattern on its side. The horse pulls the rope, freeing the girl from the well.

Clicking the well again will start a cut scene with the girl. Afterward, she’ll give you some Sheet Music. Click back on the well and click the child’s drawing. Underneath it, you’ll find a second Xylophone Hammer, while there is also Half a Pair of Clippers in the well's bucket to collect. Return to the first scene, click the portal (1d), and pick up a third Xylophone Hammer and the Map Fragment.

Back on the main first scene map, click the doors (1e) to view your first puzzle. Add the three Xylophone Hammers and the Sheet Music to begin. Simply follow the code on the sheet music (74251364), with the leftmost note being number 1, to open the door. Click the doors to enter the village.

Use the two halves of clippers in your inventory to make Clippers. Click back on the fountain and then on the metal plaque at its base. Add the brackets to it to begin a puzzle. You need to place the brackets so that a ball drops from the top into each of the four holes at the bottom. Work from left to right, dropping a ball once you have its path lined up. There are unlimited balls, so don’t panic. Once completed, the fountain is fixed.

Go back to the well and use your fixed Clippers on the chain and then pick up the Bucket. Go back to the fountain, fill the bucket with water, then take it back and use the Bucket with Water on the wooden trough.

Once there, collect a Manuscript and Cannonball (4a), then click the pickaxe lodged in the stone (4b) twice to get a Broken Pickaxe. Use the Hammer on the broken pickaxe to remove the wood in it, then use your pickaxe handle on the broken pickaxe. Finally, use the hammer on it again to get the Pickaxe.

Get a close-up of the row of vials (11e), then use the key to open the wooden panel and get the Puzzle Pieces.

Head to the hanging gardens and use the long log in the middle background (9b), to get to the tree. Then use your knife to get some Corkwood Bark from the close-up of the tree (9c). It is worth making a note of the pattern on the trip beneath the bark to save coming back later. Return to the fisherman’s hut, give her the horse’s mains and the corkwood bark, and she’ll give you an Axis Pin.

Move outside to the underground oasis, use the axis pin on the ladder (2e), then click the top of the ladder for a close-up. Click the foliage to reveal and take the Flask. Select the flask in your inventory and click it in close-up to get the underwater breathing potion recipe, plus the Flask for Elixir. Next, click the millstones (2f) and take the Broken Millstone Disk and the Wooden Boards, then place the golden mask into the grinder where the other items were. Select the boards in your inventory and combine them with the nylon stockings. Use the knife on the stockings, then click the stocking again to create a Homemade Lever.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 3 walkthrough: The Sunken Hull

Go to the schooner wreckage and get a close-up of the open metal grate (16f). Use the flask here to create a Flask of Lake Water. Move to the Plains of the Dead, select the chariot (19a), and use the homemade lever several times to gain the Hook’s Blade. Select it in your inventory and use the hammer on it to get a Hook, then go to the arena entrance and use the hook on the broken speak (14b) to get the Pole Hook.

Take it to the arena entrance and use it on the hanging bag (12b) to get the Glove and a Piece of a Globe.

At the elder’s house, use the potion flask on the energy column (13b) to get the Elixir of Water Breathing. Go back to the schooner wreckage and use the elixir to enter the water (16f) via a cutscene. This takes you to a new area, the sunken hull. While here, click the globe (20a) for a close-up, click the top of it, then and add the missing piece. Click the now complete globe again to start a rotating disc puzzle, where you simply need to rotate the sections to fix the map (start from the middle and work out). Once the globe opens, click it again and collect the Energy Ball.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 3 walkthrough: Fixing the millstone

Get a close-up of the skeleton (20b) and take the Manuscript and the Pirate Hook underneath it. Select the treasure chest (20c) and use the pirate hook to open it. A bottle will float out, so go back to the main sunken hull image and collect (top left of the screen) the Bottle with a Letter. Finally, click the net (20d) for a close-up, then click it again and grab the Fish. Move to the fisherman’s hut once more and you’ll be given the Fishing Net. Put your fish on the shelf (3a) and use your knife on it to make (and then collect) Fish Scales. Use the scales on the cauldron that you put on the stove (3b), then use the stirrer there on the cauldron to make the glue. Use the fishing net on the glue to get a Glue-covered Net.

Go to anvil peak to find Braeloff has returned. Give him the broken millstone and he’ll give you a Chisel. Move to the plains of the dead and use the chisel and hammer to remove the dead horse’s shoe (19b). Pick it up and go back to Anvil Peak and use the horseshoe on the magnetized monolith to get a Magnetized Horshoe. Combine the horseshoe with the glove in your inventory to make an Enchanted Horseshoe with Glove, then use that at the volcanic crater (12a) to get the Chainmail Fish. Give it to Braeloff back at Anvil Peak, and he’ll give you the Fixed Millstone Disc.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 3 walkthrough: Defeating the Naga

Back at the underground oasis, use the millstone on the mill (2f), then use the mill to make the gold dust. Use the net on the dust to get a Cursed Net. Go to the underground lake, where the Naga is waiting (around 15c). Use the net on the Naga to get a cutscene, then move back to the schooner wreckage. Click the harpoons (16c) twice to real in the net, click it for a close-up, then use your knife to cut the net and reveal the petrified Naga. Use your hammer to free and then take the Stacking Toy. Go back to the underground lake, add the stacking toy to the small pillar (15b), and complete the stacking puzzle.

With the puzzle solved (or skipped, it’s tricky), you’ll be able to access the boat (it appears where the Naga was, around 15c above). Select the boat and in the close-up connect the oar by clicking it, take the Key Part, and click the chain to free the boat. You can now access the Castle of Madness!

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 4 walkthrough: The Air Element

Go to the labyrinth, use the cartridge on the pendulum device (6e) and then close it in, revealing a Key. In the same close-up use the key on the silver plate next to where you put the cartridge, releasing the pendulum. Once the pendulum has finished drawing its pattern, use the tracing paper to make a copy and then take back the Tracing Paper.

Head to the volcanic caverns and use the tracing paper on the pattern on the wall (18a), which gives you the code 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24. Look at the large box (18b) and enter the code on the top to open it and get the Air Element.

Select the dice cup to start a game of Snakes and Ladders. You have no agency at all, so just have to keep trying until you win. This can be very frustrating, but it is what it is (you can always skip it). When you do win, you get the Ratchet Strap. The hill disappears once more, so take back the sword as your eighth Chest of Gold.

Lost Lands 3 Golden Curse, Part 5 walkthrough: The final battle

Go to the ruined temple and use the strap on the grate on the right tunnel (15g). Click again to bend the bars, click the device behind the grate, and then add your plank to begin a symbol-matching puzzle. You’ve seen the symbols on the base of the shell earlier (6a), so simply copy the pattern. This opens a compartment, and you'll receive the Sanctuary Tile.

Head to the lower island, where you can finally complete the tiles on the stone slab (18a). Take the final Chest of Gold from the open compartment, then move to the arena. Click the top of the pedestal (19a) and add the chest of gold to get a cutscene and receive a Tile from Leproch. Click the base of the pedestal (19b) and add the tile to begin a pair-finding puzzle. There’s no trick to it, and no time limit, but the image below will speed things up. You’ll receive a Key.
