Walkthrough: Treasure Seekers II: The Enchanted Canvases
notes:
The game lists Nelly’s overall tasks at the bottom right of the screen. Once a task is completed, it disappears from the list.
Certain items are added to the belt-pack (inventory) to be used elsewhere in the game.
Some containers have items in them – in such cases, the cursor changes to a magnifying glass that allows the player to look inside the container.
The ‘Skip Puzzle’ panel at the bottom of panels fills up as time to complete puzzle runs out.
The ‘Question Mark’ at the top left of puzzle panels gives the instructions. The ‘X’ exits the puzzle.
All hidden objects are present in the main screen unless specifically mentioned in the walkthrough.
Some mini-games may have randomly generated elements in which case your solution may not match mine.
For more detailed instructions and hints on game-play, get the official Strategy Guide.
walkthrough:

Click here for the solution.
Click on the table – it needs three herbs, the magic book, microscope, chopping board and mortar & pestle.
Click here for the solution.
Once everything is on the table, a blue butterfly is needed – oops!
Exit to the yard. Click on any one of the butterflies.
Mini-game: Sort the butterflies.
Solution: Similar butterflies have to be matched till only the blue butterfly is left. Click on matching pairs of butterflies to remove them from the screen. This game is beautiful but easy.
Click here for the solution.
The butterfly is added to the belt-pack i.e. inventory.
Return to the tower. Click the butterfly in the inventory and the table.
A ruby flower is needed, found at the top of the tower.

Hmm – Nelly needs some patches and a needle to repair the carpet.
Return to the tower. The 5 patches are scattered across the room.
Click here for the solution.
Open the casket on the table – there’s the needle.
Exit to the yard. Use the repair kit with the carpet.
Click on the floating carpet to fly to the roof of the tower.
The ruby flower is too small – just a bud. It needs water.
Return to the yard. The fountain is dry.
Click on the water tap next to the fountain. Something is missing.
Return to the tower. Click on the casket under the table.

Click here for the solution.
The cage can be opened only with a special key.
Click the bookshelf (below the yellow tapestry).
Mini-game: Unlocking the key.
Solution: The game has 4 rows, each with 4 squares. Each row has a logical progression of events. The topmost row starts with a seed, and it has to progress to form a full-fledged tree. The egg has to make a hen, the moon’s phases have to follow logically, and the sundial has to give time in a clockwise direction.
The moon’s phases are tricky – start with the no-moon in the left-most slot and then proceed.

Click on the glowing magic essence – it needs the potion bottle, tongs and funnel.
Click here for the solution.
Take the conversion potion.

The fisherman gives Nelly a key. It unlocks the anchor chain lock.
Note the padlock on the roof, on the hanging anchor.
Nelly can’t reach the lock, and the ladder is broken.
Click on the ladder – it needs 5 planks.
Matching the planks to their images needs a bit of trial and error.
Click here for the solution.
The ladder is ready. Use the key on the lock.
Take the boat-hook.
Use the boat-hook on the boarded door beside the ladder.
Enter the fisherman’s hut.
Clearing out the hornet’s nest requires a pole, gloves and a sack.
The sack is in the garret, on the first floor, near the logs.

The fireplace needs bellows, poker, logs, tongs, wood rack and screen.
The bellows are in the garret.
Click here for the solution.
Mini-game: The sewing puzzle.
Solution: Read the instructions. The aim is to recreate the painting on the left using threads, like cross-stitching. This is basically paint-by-colours, but don’t forget to put the white in! Once the stitching is complete, the lights will glow.
Click here for the solution.

No one here – take the hammer.
Return to the lighthouse.
Use the hammer on the half-constructed stairs.
Click on the broken lighthouse machine.
It needs two gears, two spanners and an oil-can.
Click here for the solution.

Click here for the solution.
Take the lever. Return to the lighthouse.
Use the lever on the engine. Pull the lever.
The gears are misplaced.

Return to the ship cemetery.
Use the knife on the sea-shell at the bottom left to get a crystal looking glass.
A stone with strange symbols is exposed.
Mini-game: Set the sea stones.
Solution: The stones can only be inserted into the highlighted slots. This puzzle has randomly-generated start points, hence there is no fixed solution. Insert each stone into a lit slot, and note which slots get switched off, rather than on. So remove that stone to fill those slots – it’s not as complex as it looks and took me less than a minute.
Click here for the screenshot.
Go to the Storm Temple. The door is shut.
Nelly has to find 5 armour parts of the statue to the left.
She also has to find 5 weapons of the statue to the right.

Go to the temple gates and click the unfastened buoy on the left.
It needs rope. Return to the ship.
Take the rope from the ship’s hold.
Return to the unfastened buoy. Use rope with buoy.
The buoy needs air.
Return to the ship cemetery.

The heavy stone is blocking the flow of bubbles. It has to be moved.
Return to the ship. Take the spade on the right of the screen.
Return to the ship cemetery. Use the spade with the stone.
Use the buoy with the bubbles.
Use the filled buoy with the chest.
Return to the ship. Captain Nate doesn’t know how to open the chest that held his most precious treasures. Hmm.
Mini-game: Open the chest.
Solution: The buttons have to be clicked to reveal all the gems. Most buttons reveal multiple gems. There are many solutions to this. I couldn’t understand the exact behaviour logic of the buttons so I solved this with a fair bit of random clicking. The top buttons control the vertical columns, the left side buttons control the horizontal rows, and the right button controls some random gems. Use the bottom left button, then the right button, then the top buttons in order from left to right.
Take the medallion.
Return to the Sea Spirit. Give him the medallion.
Take the potion from near his foot.
Return to the ship. Give the potion to Captain Nate.

Click the fourth enchanted painting – the Haunted Castle.
The sad ghost in the hall / church needs some light.
Click on the strange stained glass window.
Mini-game: Open the window.
Solution: The discs have to be rotated to set the image straight. Clicking each disc moves it and some others. The image is of a lady holding a child. There are multiple solutions to this puzzle. If the rings are numbered 1 – 4 from innermost to outermost, then first rotate disc 1 till the child’s head is aligned with his body. Then rotate 4 till the lady’s yellow skirt is at the bottom. Then rotate 3 to set the lady’s head, aligning her skirt with 4. Then rotate 2 to set the child’s body and head.
Click here for the solution.
Talk to the ghost. Nelly needs to find the sword handle.
The enchanted door is locked magically.
Nelly needs to find the book of spells and runes to open it.
Click the book on the chair at the bottom right of the screen.
Mini-game: Runing it.
Solution: Nelly needs to locate the runes in sets of 4 as listed in the book. Some of the runes are inside the scrolls scattered around the hall so be sure to click them too. Once a set of runes is found, they combine to make one of the runes guarding the bewitched door. Place this rune on the door to get the next set of runes to be found. There are total 4 sets, one for each of the door symbols.

Nelly needs a skull, a sword, a chalice, and two stars to move past.
The sword is held by the gargoyle beside the bridge on the church side.
The chalice is a bit complex. Note the steeple-like structures along the perimeter of the garden in front. These are known as ‘secret places’. They have to be clicked in order – first click the second one from the left (behind the seat), then the first one from the right (next to the locked gate), and then the first from the left, which has the chalice.
Click here for the solution.
Go to the waterfall.
Click on the wooden wheel on the right to get its side working.

The shield is with the white statue on the right of the water gate.
Click here for the solution.
Use the bucket with the water.
Use full bucket with the flowers.
Take a flower.
Return to the waterfall. Use flowers with the girl statue.

Take the bottle of oil.
Return to the waterfall.
Use the oil on the jammed door to the left water wheel mechanism.
Mini-game: Connect the pipes.
Solution: The aim is to connect the pipes to that the water flows from the tap in the bottom right to the pipe at the top left. Click on a pipe to rotate it. This is a slightly long game, simply from the effort of turning the pipes. To make it easier, start from the exit pipe at the top left, since it has a fixed bracket nearby the guide the flow of pipes. Then work downward to the bottom, then right. All the pipes have to be used. Open the valve once the pipes are connected.
Click here for the solution.
Return to the yard. Click the water wheel beside the water gate.
The drawbridge is lowered.
Click on the sword handle.
Mini-game: Switch off the barrier wards.
Solution: Clicking each knob switches one or more knobs on or off. There are multiple solutions to this puzzle. For me, if the knobs are numbered clockwise as 1 – 8 , starting from the knob at 2 o’clock, the order of clicking was 1, 4, 7, 8, 7, 5, 3, 2.
Click here to see the numbering of the knobs.
Take the sword handle.
Return to the hall / church.
Give the handle to the ghost. He needs a monk’s blessings.
Return to the yard.

Click here for the solution.
Exit, ‘raise the moon’ and return to Vampire Castle.
Give the books to the vampire.
Mini-game: Open the crypt door.
Solution: The objects in the room need to be clicked in a specific sequence to open the door. The wrong sequence resets the door. This is a game of trial and error, and memory.

Use the spade on the ‘place to dig’ (a little difficult to find the spot).
Mini-game: Open the chest.
Solution: Fit the orange panels on the left into the grid on the right. Some of the keys are larger than the others. The trick is to identify which large key on the grid has a set of smaller keys around it that match a particular orange panel.

The book at the bottom right shows the time at Paris to be 12, so set that first. Take the sheet which gives the time zones in terms of GMT. Then set London, which is 1 hour behind Paris, at 11. And then New York, which is 5 hours behind London, at 6.
Click here for the solution.
Take the gemstone.
Put the gemstone in the central circular gem-holder.
Click the shining marbles on the left.
Mini-game: Lighting the way - 1.
Solution: This is similar to the pipe game. The gems need to be rotated so the beam of light travels to the prism at the bottom right. This is not difficult as most gems reflect the light to only another gem.
Click here for the solution.
Click the shining marbles on the right.
Mini-game: Lighting the way - 2.
Solution: Same principle as above.
Click here for the solution.
Take the Purple Room symbol.
The projector is empty and needs film.

Enter the Purple Room. It’s quite, well, mind-blowing at first glance.
Nelly needs to restore the electricity.
Click on the broken dynamo at the bottom left of the screen.
It needs a spanner, a nut, a wheel and a cage to start.
The spanner is behind the red teapot in the cabinet to the left of the broken dynamo.
Click here for the solution.
This is a hamster powered dynamo. Remember the hamster in the cage in the Green Room? Yep.
But the cage is locked, so Nelly needs a key.
Click on the big crack in the floor behind the central orb structure.
It needs a hammer, a pick-axe, a chisel and a drill to fix.
The chisel is in the same cabinet, to the left of the broken dynamo.
Click here for the solution.
Look at the hole in the floor.
Take the key from the right of the blue crystals.
Exit and go to the Green Room.
The key is for the safe on the floor to the right of the cage.
The key breaks in the safe’s lock.
The safe now needs a key-ring, a clamp, a lighter, a nail remover and a dynamite stick to open.
The lighter and the key-ring are in the leftmost cabinet of the room, above the chemical equipment.
The clamp and dynamite are in the cabinet to the right of the above one.
The nail remover is in the glass cabinet on the right of the tree.
Click here for the solution.
Take the key. Use it on the cage and take the hamster.
Exit and return to the Purple Room.
Put the hamster in the broken dynamo. Voila!
Click on the metal ball. Take the Purple Gem.
Nelly needs to find a way out of the room.
Click on the bookshelf covering the doorway on the right.
It needs 6 books to open. The books need to go in the right slots.
Click here for the solution.
Mini-game: Replace the red books.
Solution: I took really long to figure this out. The spines of the books have symbols that determine their order. Two of the books are pre-placed to indicate the pattern. The book at position 3 has three dashes, so books with one and two dashes respectively will precede it at positions 1 and 2. Pre-set position 6 has one box and two dashes, so it is preceded by books with one box + one dash at position 5, and only one box at position 4. Then, book with one box + three dashes at position 7, then book with two boxes at 8, and so on, ending with the book with three boxes at 12.
Click here for the solution.
Take the film.
The bookshelf moves. Exit the room.
Go to the Red Room.

Take the telescope lens from the hole in the floor.
Exit and return to the Yellow Room.

Mini-game: Aligning the planets.
Solution: The telescope has to be moved using the four arrows around its lens to find the planets shown on the right in the viewfinder. The planets on the right have to be rotated by clicking on them till they match their real counterparts. This game is logical and easy, and has multiple solutions. Mine is:
Move 1 right to see the red planet. Click the red planet on the right once to match the real one. Now move 1 up + 3 right to see the green planet. Click the green planet on the right 6 times. Now move 2 up + 5 left to see the purple planet. Click the purple planet on the right twice. Now move 5 down to see the yellow planet. Click the yellow planet on the right 4 times.
Click here for the solution.

Exit and go to the Green Room.
Use the scarab with the green-topped pyramid to the right of the tree.
Mini-game: Filling the shapes in the pyramid.
Solution: Start by filling the two ‘arms’ and the ‘feet’ of the structure. Since the pieces cannot be rotated, only three pieces fit. After that, the puzzle becomes educated guessing and trial-and-error.

Mini-game: Unlocking the Philosopher’s Stone – Part 2.
Solution: The point is to get all the three slices of each colour into the same circle e.g. all three green slices in a green circle. Rotate the central circle to ‘pick up’ slices from the corner colour circles: align the central circle with a corner circle, and then rotate the corner circle till the colour you want to move is placed in the central circle. Then rotate the central circle till that slice is placed alongside its particular colour circle; rotate the colour circle to ‘pick up’ the slice. Repeat till all four colours are segregated. Take care that the colours of the central circle follow the clockwise order of green, grey, yellow and blue otherwise it will be difficult to end the puzzle.
