Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks Walkthrough & 100% Achievement Guide.

Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks 100% Achievement guide and complete video walkthrough of all challenges, puzzles and mini games.

Bugs, bugs and more bugs...

Well, I can only assume that if you have taken more than a glance at the reviews or discussion boards for Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks you are aware that the game has issues, and this is true, hence this primer for my guide.

Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks isn't limited to sloppy spelling, a lacklustre story and sub par writing, the game also has some bugs, some are just a nuisance, others will sadly break your game to the point you can not continue, leaving you either to abandon or restart the game.

As such this section of the guide is to make you aware of these bugs before you reach the point of no return.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug #1 - At the airfield there is a pilot in the cellar of the house behind the hanger that you have to talk to. To talk to him as with other characters in the game you should be able to click anywhere on him to initiate conversation, sadly due to sloppy work by 8Floor the pilots hit box (the area you click to talk to him) is tiny.

This has lead to several people on the discussion board believing you can't actually talk to him, the truth is you can but you have to click on him in a very specific spot. See video part 3 below at the 8 minute mark.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug #2 - The second bug is with the door lock puzzle of the house behind the airfield hanger (the building above the pilot), this puzzle states you must press 4 buttons from each dial, this is incorrect, you must in fact press 3 from each dial. See video part 3 below at the 9 minutes and 26 second marker.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug #3 - In the theatre, in front of the stage is a control box that you must find parts for to rebuild and once complete you must operate all of the controls to clear the stage. There are no problems collecting all of the components, but when you come to press all the buttons and dials you will find that the knob on the far left just doesn't want to move.

This control needs to be clicked in a very small and specific location to work, click on the second pip up from the bottom, exactly on the back dot to move the knob up 1/4 of the way. See video part 5 at the 4 minute 31 second mark.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug #4 - Bug number 4 is our first of two game breaking bugs. In the mountain bar (the room with the air hockey table and snow outside the window) there is a radiator standing just to the left of the door. Tucked behind this radiator is a piece of paper that requires a pair of tweezers to remove, if you fail to remove this piece of paper before melting a block of ice on it (obtained from outside the ski lift station) you will be unable to obtain the piece of paper and your game will be irreparably broken.

Collect this...
Before you do this...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bug #5 - Bug 5 is the second game breaking bug and last of all the bugs I found, in the final sequence of the game you must gather 5 candles, place them on the floor and complete an elements ritual puzzle on the floor.

Three of these candles are scattered around the room and two are found on a set of drawers, between the two on the set of drawers is the final totem piece and to avoid breaking your game in the closing moments you must do the following.

Collect the 3 candles dotted around the room, on the set of drawers collect the front candle and then the totem piece. Once you have obtained the photo from the totem box, place it on the puzzle on the floor and then go back to the set of drawers and take the rear candle, then place the candles on the floor and complete the puzzle, and the game.

If you do not collect the candles in this order you will break your game missing the final puzzle, cut scenes and achievements.

DISCLAIMER:
These are the bugs that I encountered during my playthrough as of the 14th of Jan 2018 there may be others and perhaps one day they might get fixed (and pigs might fly).

Achievement guide.

WARNING, Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks has difficulty related achievements, if you wish to 100% the game in one play through, you must select Expert Mode difficulty and if you are going for 100% don't skip any puzzles or use any hints either, at any point.

	Good Shot	Make less than five mistakes in a hidden object scene This will likely be your first achievement, when you start the first hidden object game at the hotel, just take your time and click carefully. My videos below show all HOG's and there are time markers for easy searching for a specific HOG. Beware, this achievement is missable, but will likely come naturally to most without trying.
	Piercing gaze	Complete three hidden object scenes without hints If you are reading this guide you are likely trying to 100% the game, in which case you should not at any point use the hint button as there is an achievement earned by not using any hints during the game.
	Witch	Make magic powder This achievement is unmissable, towards the end of the observatory section of the game you make the magic powder in the lab to use on the mirror in Danny's hotel bedroom to move on to the airfield and once you make the powder the achievement will pop.
	Puzzle master	Complete three mini-games in a row without a skip Like I said earlier, if you are trying to 100% the game, don't use any hints and don't skip any puzzles and when you complete the lock puzzle on the observatory door this achievement will pop .
	Dispatcher	Land the plane successfully This achievement is unmissable, once you complete the morse code transmitter puzzle in the control tower a cut scene will play and this achievement will pop.
	Family matters	Find and return the wedding ring This achievement is also unmissable, when you take the ring from the glove in the car in the alley opposite the theatre the singer will appear, give here the ring, a cut scene will play and this achievement will pop.
	Eagle-Eye	Spend less than a minute on a hidden object scene This achievement is missable, unlike some hidden object games Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks does not have random or variable puzzles, as such you can watch my videos below to find the exact locations of the items before you play a HOG to help you get this achievement.
	The Rule of Four	Find 4 items in 4 seconds This is perhaps the only achievement in Chronicles of the Witches and Warlocks that requires some conscious effort. Once you have got the Eagle-Eye and Good Shot achievements out of the way on your next HOG, stop and pause. Find four objects and keep a mental note of their location without clicking on them and then click on all four as quick as you can. Again, you can use my videos below for assistance as the objects you have to collect in your HOG's will be the same as those in my videos.
	Pull a Fast One	Spend less than a minute on a mini-game This achievement is missable, but given the ease of most puzzles in the game, it will be very hard to miss. Puzzles #2, #4, #6, #8, #9, #10 & #12 are all candidates for earning this achievement, see my videos below if you require assistance.
	The story's end	Complete the game on any difficulty mode This achievement is unmissable and will pop at the end of the game, regardless of difficulty or whether you used any hints.
	Finisher	Complete all mini-games without a single skip This achievement is missable, as long as you have not used the skip button during your playthrough, this achievement will pop once you complete the 15th puzzle (the element ritual on the floor in the secret room).
	Sniper	Complete all hidden object scenes without hints This achievement is missable, as long as you complete all HOG's during the game without using any hints, this achievement *SHOULD* pop during the final cut scene of the game, if it does not once the game is finished, exit the game and load it back up again and they should pop by the time you reach the menu (this happened and reading the discussion boards several others as well).
	Explorer	Complete the game (Expert mode) This achievement is missable, if you complete the game in Expert Mode this achievement *SHOULD* pop during the final cut scene of the game, if it does not once the game is finished, exit the game and load it back up again and they should pop by the time you reach the menu (this happened and reading the discussion boards several others as well).

Hi Mary, it's rare to be able to 100% a hidden object game and be able to use hints, at least in the main game, I did note at the start of the achievement guide chapter, not to use hints at any point :(

[Mary]

Hey Thanks to your walkthrough i got the ones i wasnt able to get on my first play,except for Expert mode achievement :-./ i read in other guide that you cant use hint in all your gameplay.?!

[anrkyuk]

Greetings Zilleo, thank you kindly for your comments, I'm glad you managed to avoid the bugs :)
