Beginners Guide to Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children

Virtual Villagers: A New Home ended with the golden child opening the entrance to a cave. The game hinted that there might be more to the cave and in Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children, the cave does hold more secrets. A man and woman from the original Virtual Villagers decide to check out the cave and suddenly fall to the other side over a waterfall. They are suddenly surrounded by children and the game begins.

Finding Food

The Virtual Villagers 2 has the same game play as the first game but there are a few different things this time around. The villagers still have to find food but you no longer have to worry about the well and water. Food for your villagers can be found in the coconut trees, fish from the ocean and a patch of land that you can grow crops on.

Children

Unlike the first Virtual Villager game, you begin with only two adults and a few children. One of the kids is old enough to start working but the rest are too young and you will have to wait until they turn 14 or 15 before you can put them to work. Children can harvest mushrooms to eat and they are the only ones who can pick up special items such as shells for your collection.

Puzzles

Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children has a whole new set of puzzles that you have to solve if you want to win the game. There is no golden child this time around but some of the puzzles include building a fire, finding another source of food besides the ocean, learning how to make stew using difference recipes and creating a building just to name a few. One of the hardest new puzzles in the game is making one of your villagers a master in three different skills. This is hard to do because villagers eventually age and die or they can die suddenly if you run out of food, or if they become sick for too long.
