2bad presents a FAQ for Flight of the Amazon Queen.

If anybody would like to clean this up and retype it, etc.  Please
feel free to do so.  I just wrote up a quick solve and tips while
I was awake after being awake for who knows how long. :)
All I ask is that you credit me (2bad) in your document.  Not to
much to ask for I suppose.

This is the first release of this FAQ.  It was released on
(3.11.95).  Included in the archive was also a collection of
2bad's Save Game files.  This may be the only release as well.
** Note that the save games are pretty sparse and far in between.
I really don't save very often. :)  Some of them aren't very
descriptive either.  They are in chronological order tho.

This FAQ is in NO WAY complete and currently only contains some
pointers and help on parts of the game that took me some time
to figure out.

The following are solves for various situations in the game
described as best as possible by me.  Enjoy!

1. In the hotel.  How do I get out of the locked room?

   In the locked room on the floor you will find some sheets,
   pick them up twice then use the sheets together (to tie them
   in a knot).  Now use the sheet-rope on the radiator to descend
   down a floor.  Also be sure to look behind the curtain and grab
   yourself a wig! :)

2. I'm in a basement/laundry room and there is a shelf and two doors.
   What now?

   Move the ladder and then inspect all the shelf objects.  You need
   to get the fake breasts and also grab a crowbar off the top of
   the shelves.  Proceed to the door at the top of the stairs.

3. I'm in the lobby, there is a bell-boy and two goons.  What do I
   do?

   Talk to the nerdy bell-boy.  Persuade him to give you the key
   that belongs to the showgirl.  You need to tell him you are a
   friend of hers and he will give you the key.  After you have the
   key go back down to the basement and climb the sheet-rope to go
   back into the locked room.

4. I'm in the locked room again, what do I do here?

   Use the crowbar on the trunk.  Inside you will find a towel.
   Now go back down the sheet-rope and go to the door on the right
   in the basement.  This leads to the showgirl's room.


5. In the showgirls room, help me?

   Talk to the showgirl.  Ask her to help you.  She will take a shower
   and need a towel once she is done.  Give here the towel you got
   from the trunk.  She will give you a dress.  After you get the
   dress you need to go back up the sheet-rope and use the dress.
   Joe will change into the dress and appear as a woman. :)

6. Okay I have the dress disguise now what?

   Go out to the lobby (tease the nerd bell-boy if you like) and proceed
   out the lobby doors to the truck on the curb.

7. I'm in the back of a truck and the goons are chasing me, how do I get
   rid of them?

   You can try throwing the chicken at them! :)  I didn't but it might
   work.  Pickup some straw, pickup some more.  Underneath the straw
   you will find some oil.  Use the oil on the goons.

8. I've arrived at my plane but Anderson is already there, how do I get
   rid of him.

   Just talk your way through this one, you should end up knocking him
   out.  :)

9. The plane has crashed and we are in the middle of the river in the
   jungle, how do I get to land? (This one explains a lot of clues and
   steps in one summary.)

   First off open the backpack, you will find a few useful supplies.
   Now look at the plane seat, you will find a piece of a comic book
   w/ some instructions or something.

   Go out the doorway of the plane.  You will be standing on a giant
   lilly pad.  Look at the jumping pirahnas.  Go back into the plane
   and talk to Stanley (you mechanic).  Let him know that you are
   hungry and he will offer you some beef jerkey.  Go back onto the
   lilly pad and give the beef jerkey to the pirahnas.  They will
   go away.  Now pickup the propeller (to use as a paddle) and cut
   the lilly pad stalk with the knife.  Use the propeller on the
   lilly pad, it will row you to the shore.

10. We have arrived on safe land.  What do I do now?

   Follow the path north (up).  Here you will meet a parrot.  Listen
   to the parrot and find out about the kidnapped queen.  Notice that
   big vine?  Cut it down with your knife.


*** From this point on you are pretty much on your own.  I am not
    going to type a complete walk thru for you.  The rest wasn't too
    difficult to figure out.  I will give some clues to you though.
    These clues deal with areas that I had some trouble figuring out.

· Need money to buy stuff at the Trader's shop?

   Give Bob your remaining beef jerkey.  He will pay you for it.  Now
   you can buy the vacuum cleaner.

· Need to buy fishnet from Bob but can't.  I'm not a special customer.

   Use the vacuum cleaner on the wasps that are on the lilac in the
   jungle.  Give the vacuum cleaner to the witch doctor afterwards so
   he will have another ingredient to the rash potion.  Now give the
   lilac to Bob.  You will now become a special customer for doing
   him a great service.  Buy a fishnet. :)  Use the fishnet to
   get the perfume from the river at the crash site.

· Hint: While fumigating the Flota building you will find money under
   the couch.  Use that money to buy the record at Bob's.  Play the
   record on the phonograph.

· To get rid of the bastardous cook in the kitchen of the Flota building
   you need to give him a bananna.  You can find a bananna at the bananna
   tree which lies to the south of where your plane crashed across the
   bridge.  Use the vine to repair the bridge's rope and you can cross
   the bridge.  You also need a bananna to give to the monkey that is
   bouncing the coconut.  The cocunuts milk (after you cut it open)
   is another ingredient for the witch doctor's rash potion.

· In front of the Flota building is a garden.  In the garden is a nectar.
   If you talk to the guy training monkeys in the jungle he will tell
   you that sloth's like nectars. :)  Use the nectar on the sloth.
   You will later need to cut some hair off the sloth with scissors
   given to you by Naomi (at Bob's shop) after you bring here some
   perfume.  The sloth hair is another ingrediant of the witch
   doctor's rash potion.

· You will find to explorers in the jungle past the sloth.  The short
   fat explorer collects Captain Rocket comics.  Ask him for Capt.
   Rocket Vs. The Chicago Mob.  Read the comic, it's cool! =)
   Give the comic to Stanley, he will give you a file which you can
   trade to the Monkey trainer's wife (in the jungle) for a Pygmy
   dictionary.  You will be able to understand the pygmies once
   you have this dictionary.

· How do I escape from the amazon women dungeon?

   Why would you want to? :))))  .. life sounds good according to
   the other prisoners.. hahaha..

   Seriously though.. talk to the old looking crazy dude with the
   puppets.  Inquire about the puppet with the stick.. After a
   lot of noise he will give it to you and Faye will show up to
   free you.

· Whenever you see the gorilla or the gorilla in a barney suit (no
   kidding) :) just let him know that he don't really exist because
   gorilla's are in Africa, not South America.

· To get past the guards in the underground base do the following.

   John - You will find a mail bag in the barracks (room beyond the
   kitchen with the cook.)  In the mail bag is a letter to him.
   Give him that letter then you can enter the rooms he guards.
   Also in the barracks is a locker and inside is a dog-toy.  That
   will get you past the guard dog outside.

   K--- (whatever his name was) the Super Soldier guard.  For this
   guard you need to get a the super weenie soldier vial from the
   laboratory in the underground base.  Mix this vial in with some
   dog food (from the kitchen).  Give it to him since he like to
   eat.  Now call him a weenie. :)

   Guard in room by himself.  In one of the rooms the previous guards
   were guarding there was a roster chart with guard duties.  On it
   it says 'whatever this guards name is' has kitchen duty.  Tell
   him that (after you've looked at the roster it will let you.)
   Colonel Jackson was the guard that ordered his duty.

· Things to find in underground base.

   Behind one of the file cabinets (in a room all by itself against the
   back wall.)  Move this cabinet and you will find the safe.

   Dr. IronFist (IronStein - something :)) Room with the big picture of
   the mad doctor and the map and desk.  On the deks is a notepad.
   Use the pencil (from the Flota secretaries desk) on the notepad with
   and indentation.  This has the safe combination on it.  Inside the
   safe is the key and a note about the top-secret rocket held in
   the building outside guarded by the guard dog.

   One of the rooms has a red book.  Pick up the book, the pages are
   stuck together.  Use the knife on the book, inside you will find
   the key to the cell that hold the Amazon Queen.

   Where is the amazon queen?  She is up the stairs in the laboratory
   of the underground base.

   Get the bits-o-cheeze(tm) from the kitchen you will need them later.

· Escaping from the Flota building after rescuing Amazon Queen.

   The electronic door to the Flota building will be closed.
   You need to use the manequins.  You and the queen will hide behind
   them.  A guard will come and leave thru the door.  Talk to the
   queen afterwards and find out the door combination.  Now use the
   console on the door and you will get out.  From here goto the
   Amazon fortress.

· The doctor will surround the amazon women's base after you've freed
   the queen.  Now you will have to on a mission for him.

· To get to sloth island you need to goto the Jetty.  Here you will
   find the ferry man (death).  he is pretty cool!  Ask him all about
   his fishing, especially the bait he is using.  You will need to
   give him the beetle.  If you don't have it go catch is with your
   fish net in the jungle.

· Sloth island.  (portions of this may be slightly incorrect.  just
   keep up with the items I tell you to get and try and remember your
   way around...)  If it's not exactly right, don't blame me.. I can't
   remember every detail. :)

   Notice the dino-rat.  Be nice to him and give him some bits-o-cheeze(tm)
   He is a nice lil' dude and knows his ways thru mazes, he will save
   you ass later in the game. :)

   Move all the corpses in the rooms beyond the main temple room.  Pick
   up all the bones that fall.  Now put the bones in the appropriate
   places in the wall in the main temple room.  Go over to the statue
   to the left in that room.  Put a coin (money) in the slot and put
   the skeleton arm in the hole.  Use the arm (its a slot machine).
   You win enter the secret entrance... .. and ...

·  Main temple with the carving of a head and arms.. There are 3 doors
   One in his mouth and one in each hand.  Go in the door to the right
   first.

   Concubines.  Talk to these chicks.  Get them to be unsure about
   whether or not their King is in the sarcophagus.  After they open
   it the first time pickup the mummy cloth that rolls out. :)
   Get them to open it again.  They will see he is not in there and
   leave.  Move the sarcophagus.  Also be sure to cut the vines that are
   hanging above the secret entrance.  you will need them.  Go in the
   secret entranc.

   Room with giant tree roots.  Cut the root where there is sap.
   pickup the sap (gum).  Go left.  Turn the skull that is shooting
   out water.  Get the jewel that was under puddle of water.  Keep
   going left.  (Don't pull the lever yet.)  Enter the door to the
   left.  At the coffe machine use the puppet to pick up the hot
   disc.  Go right and pull the lever.

   Now enter the middle door of the main temple.
   Use the vine on the wheel.  Go left and exit back out to main temple.
   Enter the right doorway again.  Put the disc on the spindle.
   Use the hanging vine on the disc.  Use the bat on the spindle.
   Go right.  Get the pick.  Go left and out to the main temple.

   Enter the middle door again.  Enter the cave and use the pick
   on the stalactite or whatever hanging from ceiling on the right
   side of cave.  Get the flint.  Use the flint on the lighter.
   Use the pick on the hole in the wall.  You can't open the coffin
   in that room yet.  Go back out to main temple.

   Enter the left door.  Once you get to the room with the white
   snake guarding a doorway use the mummy wrappings(cloth) on the
   skeleton arm.  (You did remember to pick up the skeleton arm
   after you hit the jackpot - it might do this automatically?)
   Use the lighter on the wrapped arm to make a torch.  Use the
   torch on the snake.  Enter the doorway.  Go down the stairs
   and to the right.. from here its all kinda vague to me.. I don't
   remember all the rooms exact so I will attempt to tell you what
   you need to do with each item.

   To free the guard in the cage ball, you need to pull the lever.
   Nothing happens.  Talk to the guard and tell him to cut the rope
   holding the cage.  Now try the lever again.  he will flee and
   meet his death.

   To get past the two statues shooting the lazers you need to use
   the death-mask after you've polished it off with your mummy
   wrappings or sheet. (some kinda cloth)  (the death mask is in
   the coffin beyond the cave that had the hole in the wall)  You
   need to use the big stick to open the coffin.

   Big-stick is found in the room with the carving on the wall that
   looks sad..  It is sticking out of a rock.  Also once you get
   both jewels, put them in the eyes of the sad statue.

   To get the jewel in the treasure room (beyond lazer statues)
   you need to put the gum on your bat and use the bat to get the
   jewel.

   Once the guard dies.. you need to go down to the coffee-maker
   room and search him.  He has part of a statue-key.  You find
   the other part somewhere else, I can't remember where so be
   on the look for it. :)

   YOu need to go get some more gum to stick these two parts of
   the key back together.

   To use the key and get out after you've put the jewels in the
   sad carving (room with big stick) two doors will open.  Go in
   the door on the right.  Put the key in the lizard statue and go
   down the stairs.

   You are now in a maze I believe.. You should see the dino-rat.
   Just keep feeding him bits-o-cheeze(tm) and follow the exact
   path he takes.  (I told you he knows his way out of mazes right?)
   :)

   Room with altar (chair).  Read the carvings.  Pay attention to
   them I think they hold the clue to the following puzzle and it
   may be different for each game.  Anyway go to the doorway on
   your right.  Here there are carvings on the wall and a mosaic
   on the floor.  Use the vacuum on the mosaic.  Now you need
   to push the appropriate carvings to make the doorway to the
   crystal skull open.  Here is the solution that I used.
   It may be different in every game (maybe not?)

   x = a carving on the wall.

   x x x x
   x x x x
   x x x x
   x x x x  press them in this order as the list goes on....

--------------- solve below ------

   x x x x
   x x x x
   x x x x
   x 1 x x

   x x x x
   x x x x
   x x 2 x
   x x x x

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

   Hopefully this will open the door if not try each one until you
   find one that partially opens the door, remember which one did
   it.  Now keep using that one the first and try all the others
   again second until you find the right one. :)

   Now you are in the room and that ghost lady shows up again.
   Give here the crown that you found in the sarcophagus with
   the concubines to prove that you are the heir.

   Get the crystal and goto the room with the altar/chair.

   Push the carvings on each side of the chair.  Sit in the chair
   and you're outta their. :)

From here a guard will capture you and take you back to the underground
base.  You are again a prisoner of the made doctor.  You are in the
cell.  Pick up the cup.  Use it on the cell bars.  Your friends will
come and rescue you.

Get out of the Flota building and get the rocket pack in building
outside of Flota guarded by the dog if you don't have it yet.

Go buy some gas from Bob.  Go to the peak (the mountain in middle of
map that shows you the whole map everytime.)

Use the rocket.  You will crashland on myst island.

From this point on I think the game is rather simple to figure out.  You
really only have one direct path to follow.  If you can't figure the end
out, I guess you're out of luck because I ain't typing no more! :)

Maybe bug me on irc or something.  Well, that is it.. have fun and I hope
you enjoy the game as much as I did.
