Introduction

You play the role of young Adam, who join Delphineus, the dolphin on a
quest to find the great whale, King Cetus. First you must gain the
trust of the citizens of Eluria before they help you. Next you are to
fullfil the prophecy of the Oracle and to save Eluria.

Walkthru

You begin the quest at your home. Talk with your father. Look at the
seagull. Poor thing, it's covered with oil. Take the detegent and the
rag beside the box. Pour some detegent on the rag and use it to clean
the seagull. Before your father leave, he'll pass you a bottle of
fertilizer and a transmitter. Look at the tank of water. It's full of
oil, pour some of the fetilizer inside and let the bacteria eats up
the oil. Look at the cage, the gerbil is thirsty. Get the water
beside the cage and give it to the gerbil.

Take the letter on the chair. It contains your certificate and a
membership card. Take the letter on the chair and dump it in the
recycle box. Look at the computer. Look at it a second time to play
King Quest V. Get the aluminium can on the table and throw into the
recycle box. Pick up the trash bag. Look at the blackboard. Click on
the individual part of the drawing for more details.

It's time to leave the room. Open the door with the combination number
9731. You are now inside the swimming pool. Read the instructions on
the blackboard. Talk to dolphin a few times. Get mackeral from the
bucket and feed the dolphin a few times. Go inside the pool and ride
the dolphin. Get the frisbee and throw it at the dolphin. Play with
the dolphin until it starts talking. Talk to it. It's name is
Delphineus. Throw the frisbee at the dolphin a few more times. Look
at the propeller and see how it was kept safe. Pull the lever beside
the gate to open the hatch. The dolphin will then swim away.

Days Passed...

The dolphin has return. Open the cabinet and get the swimming gear. Wear
the swimming gear and enter the sea. Swim around until you reach  the

Swim to Eluria. Pick up the iron cage and gather all the rubbish. 

Enter the temple. Get the bronze couch shell. Swim outside. Look at the
statue with the trident. Give the couch shell to the servant, take the
trident. Go to the temple again. Use the trident to poke the three
eyes. The Oracle appears, talk to it. Arrange the mosiac. The Oracle
will then ask you three riddles and tell you to click on the picture
to answer it. For my case the 3 answers are : MAN, FISH and LOVE. (I
don't know whether everytime the same riddles will be asked or not)
The oracle will tell you to gain the trust of the citizens of Eluria
before it tell you the prophecy.

Swim outside. Enter the building with a few pillar. Talk to the golden
mask. Turn the pillar until all 9 parts are in the correct position.
Talk to the hermit crab, Superfluous. Exit.

you try to enter any of the department. Show the badge to it to gain

into it's apartment. Remove the plastic bag from it. The blowfish,
Narcissus, will give you some sea urchin.

Enter the apartment of the anglefish, Epidermis. Talk to it. Use the
sea urchins to eat up the algae from the plant. You get a sharp shell
as a reward.

Look for the apartment of the swordfish, Hippocrates. Cut the six pack
rings using the shell. You receive a fish bone tweezer as a reward.
Pick up the 6 pack rings. Cut it with the shell and then trash it.

Swim right until you reach the anemore, enter the cave there. Look the

and watch what happened. The octopus has opened the bottle for you.
Get the bottle.

Swim back to the anemore, the red fish is being eaten by the anemore.
Use the fish lure on it. Since the anemore can only can't digest the
key, it got vomit out. Get the skeleton key.

Go to the giant head. Use the bottle on the ear to catch the flashlight
fish.

Swim to the toxic cave. Release the flashlight fish to light up the
cave. There is a brick wall inside the cave. Remove the brick one by
one until you see something among the rocks. Look at the rock, there
is a metal box hidden there. Use the oily rag to ease the lock, and
then open it with the skeleton key. There is a suit inside, get it and
wear it. Enter the hole. Attach the followings together: floating
bulb, transmitter and cable. Then tied them to the barrels of toxic.

Wait for the divers to clear up the toxic...

until you are caught in the drift net. Use the shell to cut yourself
free. In the meantime, the dolphin is captured by flesh-eater.

Swim to the boat, use the trident to open the cabin door. Enter the
cabin door and follow the cable until you found King Cetus. Talk to
it. Swim away until you see the full view of it. Click the hand on
Cetus mouth to enter its mouth. Use the hacksaw to cut the harpoon
