does anyone have a solution for the mosaic adventures? it's 25 years since I've slogged though the game :/

ok, for anyone in the future

potions adventure (merchant's house in tyr)

order is:

baya leaf (green box)
erdu's blood (red bottle)
randar's powder (green pepper pot)
hirvelian herb (grey jar)
bartini's elixir (green flask)
gaunalia blossom (purple box)
sethuli oil (yellow jug)

chandelier adventure (veiled alliance centre)

just replace the shards to the broken chandelier above the table

Its all explained at the end of the hint/clue book which is included with the GOG version. That one with the silly talking parrot and all the statues never made any sense to me. Pretty sure its right at the end of the clue book with all the maps on one page.

So the Mosaic Adventures - Alchemist's Puzzle can be solved entirely from clues within the game... if you don't mind testing all fifty-six possible combinations of "ingredient on the left and ingredient (or void) on the right."

You're given three clues for free:
Erdlu's Blood is not the Third Ingredient
Hirvelian Herb is not the Fifth Ingredient
Randar's Powder is the Third Ingredient

Every remaining clue (except for one) can be found regardless of scale order:
Baya Leaves are not one of the last four ingredients (Baya Leaf by itself)
Randar's Powder will only dissolve after at least two ingredients have been added (Randar's Powder by itself)
Gavinalia Blossom is not one of the first three ingredients (Gavinalia Blossom by itself)
Sethuli Oil is the last ingredient (Sethuli Oil by itself)
Hirvelian Herb is added sometime before Gavinalia Blossom (Hirvelian/Gavinalia)
Erdlu Blood occurs right after Baya Leaves (Erdlu/Baya)

But we're missing one clue, and we have two ingredients with ambiguous order - is Gavinalia Blossom or Bartini's Elixir the fifth ingredient?

The final clue is that "Bartini's Elixir is one of the next three ingredients after Erdlu blood". It's supposed to be found by testing Erdlu Blood with Bartini's Elixir... but this clue is only given if Erdlu Blood is on the right and Bartini's Elixir is on the left - flip the ingredients around and you get INCONCLUSIVE RESULT.

So everything's there, it's just order-sensitive when it isn't supposed to be (the text is doublicated which suggests that there was an error when putting the entries in)
