Tintin and Captain Haddock are flying in a small plane over the sea in severely stormy weather.


Tintin and Cpt. Haddock in stormy weather

 

Here and there are open gaps in the clouds. Navigate your plane through the gaps.


Use L to fly over the danger

 

After a few escapes through a gap the plane will be hit by a lightning.


Keep passing the gaps

 

The plane will crash and Tintin drops down to the beach.


Tintin is lying unconsciously on the beach

 

Chapter 2: The First Unicorn


Sniff... sniff... a 17th Century sailing ship replica?

 

Snowy is at a Flea Market somewhere in Brussels and Tintin is calling him.
You play as Snowy now, and you can follow Tintin’s scent by pressing and holding RT (Right Trigger).


The scent of Tintin’s footsteps

 

You can follow Tintin’s footsteps and find him at one end of the Flea Market.


There is Tintin!

 

Tintin: Ah! There you are, you little rascal!


You been chasing cats again, eh?

 

Play as Tintin and follow Snowy to the stand with the scale model of the Unicorn.
Just before the corner turn left of the truck and notice a Chest in an alcove.


Easy Snowy!


A Chest in the alcove

 

Approach the Chest, keep pressing RT , tap X and the Chest will open and reveal a Crab with Golden Claws.


Your 1st Crab with Golden Claws collected

 

Behind the corner on your right you’ll find the stand with the scale model of the ship.


Is this what you want me to see?

 

Tintin wants to buy the Crooner and after a small bargaining the seller agrees with a price of 70 Belgian Frank (by then there were no Euros in Belgium, only the “old” Frank...).
However some guy suddenly pops up and bids ten times more, claiming he’s a collector.


I’m sorry, Sir, I’m not interesting in selling it.


(To Snowy): Well that’s very strange. We’re not the only ones who fancy this old model. I’m beginning to think there’s more to this than meets the eye. What do you think, Snowy?

 

Next the seller guides Tintin to another stand for a mysterious book that refers to the Unicorn model. The pages read:


The pages of the book

 

Tintin: He Sank his own ship? Why? Why would he send the Unicorn to the bottom of the sea? It doesn’t say...

Chapter 3: The First Scroll

Tintin is taking the Unicorn and the recently purchased book to an alley end and studies the drawing left of Captain Francis Haddock’s picture. It seems to indicating the masts can be turned.


The masts can be turned forming the image of a Unicorn

 

A small box can now be pulled out of the back of the scale model.


A Scroll is revealed!

 

It reads:


Three brothers joined, three unicorns in company sailing in the noonday sun will speak...

Chapter 4: The Stolen Unicorn

Suddenly three men appear, among one the “collector”. Tintin is beaten unconsciously and the Unicorn is being stolen.


The Unicorn is being stolen!

 

Tintin follows them into a side alley.


Turn into the side alley on the right

 

Here you’re going to learn how to put up a fight with gangsters. As soon as you see an exclamation sign appearing above one of them, approach him and a blue X will appear. Press X to punch him until he is K.O.


Tintin’s first combat

 

When they’re all defeated Tintin lets Snowy sniff on the hat of one the foes so he may follow his track.


Snowy picks up the scent of the foe
