Is there a Manual anywhere? (got some questions)

[Jaqvaar]

First of all, great job guys. This is a really interesting game.

I am new to these forums, so forgive me if any of my questions have already been answered elsewhere, but I really tried to follow the threads and got lost.

1. Is there a manual to the game that I could download, explaining controls and so on? ie other than binding things or shooting them, are there other ways of interacting with them?
Sometimes it seems to me that I'm doing something wrong.
2. Do you know those big red closed flowers that look a bit like tulips? Is there a way of opening them? There is an area in the energy temple that can only be opened using one of those white marbles, but the only thing near there is such a flower. I tried singing to it and shooting it, but nothing happens. I somehow have a hunch the marble could be inside.
3. I understand there is a thing called "Nature form". Where can someone get that? I already have Energy and Fish (plus of course the normal form).
4. How can you see in the dark? Is the ice cream the only way? And if so, where can you find ice? I have found a thing that looks like a lamp, I have it in my home, it just sits there. I can't take it with me, use it or anything.
5. Is there a way to swim against the current?
6. What does the helmet do? I put it on and off, but if it gives extra defence, I have not noticed.

Sorry to be such a newbie. Thanks in advance for any answers you may give

Hi and welcome!

1. Nope, the stuff gets explained ingame mostly.
2. You can open them with nature form
3. which you get in the kelp forest too.
4. There is a sun form, that's the way to lighten up the dark, but you need another form first, to go against the currents. It's the beastform and it lies in the bowels of the city/cathedral of mithalas. It's directly right from open waters.
6. Which helmet, there are more?

Thank you Xiagan, you have been most helpful
I found the Nature form and am on my way to beating that disgusting monster in the bowels (been there several times already but I have a new strategy this time).
