We turn back into a human again, but now we need to get out of here and get away from Malicia before we can get out of the Vulcanix Underground.
From here, head back to the crystal dragon. You can click on the dragon a few times, but Rosella will not be able to grab a scale with her bare hands or wake her up. Use the hammer and chisel on her tail to get the crystal dragon scale. This time around, she will be sleeping instead of snoring. You now have all the ingredients necessary to change back into a human! Go see Mathilda in the center of the Vulcanix Underground!
In earlier versions of the game, you had to wait for the tail to stop moving around before getting the crystal scale, or else you would get crushed, killing Rosella. This was removed in Version 2.0.
Take one of the ingredients from the inventory and click on Mathilda with it to get the handing off of the ingredients started, then give her the rest. Rosella's head will turn invisible, but then Mathilda remembers that a troll hair is needed. She plucks one of her own hairs out and places it in the concoction, then Rosella transforms again, this time into a human. Upon becoming a human again, Rosella notices that the silver spoon has melted, and she will keep it as a momento. It will be in the inventory as the Silver Pellet.
All of a sudden, King Otar will suddenly teleport into the room and will be stunned not only by her intelligence, but also her beauty, courage and joi de vivre. Suddenly, Malicia teleports into the area and finally notices Rosella, getting angry at her for supposedly distracting King Otar. Rosella confronts her, but Malicia teleports behind her and teleports her back into the bedroom, much to the protest of King Otar. Upon being returned to the bedroom, the door is heard locking. It looks like Rosella won't be leaving that way. Malicia then tells Rosella that she will be back to take care of her before she knows it, then her evil laughter echoes across the room.
The eyes in the picture of King Otar on the wall now have smoke coming out of them. There could be a way out of here from there, but how do we get there?
If you look at the mirror, Rosella will admire her human form. If you click on the door, you will find out it is indeed locked.
If you look at the portrait of King Otar on the wall, you'll notice smoking coming out, and so will Rosella. This will be your way out.
First things first: if you take too long to get out of the bedroom, YOU WILL DIE. So don't do that. Instead, you will need to use the assorted footstools. Click on the big stool first and place it underneath the portrait, then take the green stool and place it on the big wooden. Finally, place the pillow on the floor on top of the green stool. Click on the makeshift ladder, and you'll be able to move the portrait and get into a crawlspace that Rosella can amazingly fit through. Turns out, it's a ventilation duct.
If you set the pile of footstools up any other way, they will tumble over when Rosella gets on them.
When Rosella climbs into the seemingly convenient ventilation duct, she will overhear a discussion between Malicia and King Otar in another nearby room. Malicia will tell Otar that he will dispose of him if he keeps getting involved with Rosella, then asks him if he was learned to work the volcano mechanism yet. Otar asks if what they are doing is necessary and says it could harm the land of Eldritch, but Malicia obviously does not care and is doing it solely to destroy Etheria. She then leaves, and a confused Otar doesn't know exactly what to do about whatever situation he appears to be in. He also says that he does not know what is right or what is real, and wishes that he could remember something.
Rosella, knowing what Malicia is planning to do to the land, crawls through the shaft and ends up in the central area of the Vulcanix Underground in front of the throne. When she lands on the ground, something green pops up out of the floor. Go grab it. If you look at it, you will learn it is a dragon toad: a toad with dragon-like features.
Head back to the bedroom. You will overhear Mathilda confronting Malicia over King Otar. Malicia tells Mathilda that what she has in store for Otar is none of her business, that her old nerves couldn't take it and that it is much nicer that what she has in store for Mathilda. Mathilda comes out of the bedroom, then heads back to the chair and table after telling Mathilda she is not scared of her (and getting zapped afterwards). She also wraps herself in a blanket.
If you talk to Mathilda afterwards, she will tell you that she will do anything to find out what Malicia has done to King Otar. She also tells you it is hopeless to deal with Malicia, as she is far too powerful. From here, give her the Dragon Toad. She will tell you that the Dragon Toad was Otar's magical guardian who watched over him and would have the power to run home in case something happened to him. She says that it has been dormant for years, and after using some magcical powder on it, the Dragon Toad will tell you that Otar has been imprisoned far away in the land of Ooga-Booga, and Mathilda comes to the conclusion that the Otar we have seen is an imposter.
Rosella then tells Mathilda and the fake Otar's plan to make a volcano erupt. Mathilda will mention that the Vulcanix Underground is one big volcano, and that the trolls have been its keepers for 100 generations. If Malicia were to make the volcano erupt, Eldritch would blow up. She tells you to find the real King Otar, as he is the one with the knowledge to shut the volcano down, then hands you the magic rope to use with the elevator to get to Ooga Booga above ground.
After that, Malicia will re-appear and begin looking for Rosella. As this happens, a bat will fly around and mess with Malicia, who admits her hatred for vermin as well as her desire to get rid of every bat, rat and snake in the world by making them all explode at once.
From this point, head towards the lift. Malicia will appear before you can escape. Before she can find you, use the toy rat on Malicia. This will cause her to freak out and disappear. From here, you can now head to the lift and use the magic rope on it. As Rosella makes her way up, the lift suddenly becomes unstable. This ends Chapter 2.
Chapter 3: "The sky is falling!"
When we last left off, Valanice had made her way out of the seemingly endless desert that she ended up in while attempting to follow Rosella. All of a sudden, she came face-to-face with a giant lizard!
At the start of the chapter, take the prickly pair from the inventory and click on the lizard. This will cause the lizard to eat the prickly pair from your hand and go back into the hole in the wall. It won't be bothering you again. Thankfully, you can go back into the desert and get it if you haven't gotten it yet.
