* [[Multiple Endings]]: It's quite easy to get through the game and [[Downer Ending|forget to look for the Magic Fruit]] - which is the main reason you traveled to Tamir in the first place!
** Fortunately, you can do that particular quest at almost any point of the game (after you get the crown, the lantern, and the flute). Even the ending, [[Take Your Time|when you really should be getting to Genesta as quickly as possible]].

* [[Red Herring]]: Turns out neither of Graham's kids gets his [[Cool Hat]].
* [[Snakes Are Evil]]: A nasty cobra guards the tree holding the fruit that Rosella needs to cure her father.
