No, it's in the same island as the witch, the snake, etc. You need the candle in order to be able to get into the dark caves (the entrance is in the witch's room.)
I shot the raven with the arrow - but never thought of trying to feed it to the snake.
You can kill him without using arrows. But keep a saved game without killing him, because maybe he's useful alive. I was thinking that maybe he can get to the key, since he can fly.
The key is also yet out of my reach, although you can 'stand/climb' onto the bench and the cage. Throwing or tie rope doesn't help here.
Yes, I stood on both too, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I also tried tying the rope to the arrow, but nothing has worked so far.
You need to be protected for the dragon and have the 'King of all weapons' to deal with him.
Where is this dragon? I haven't found this yet.
Have you tried to leave the 'hag' area in the boat. There is a sea monster which prevents you from leaving - or at least he is there if you let the hag conjour him up. Your thoughts on this?
If you summon the Gods for advice on this, they say something about such monsters dancing "to your tune", so maybe the flute has something to do with this.
I have dealt with the elf and have got the 'wheatcake'
Did you deal with him peacefully or violently?
By the way, did you get the gauntlets from the troll? I couldn't find this item, but the clues at the fountain seem to suggest that he's got them.
