how do I get the red plant in the graveyard? It evaporates in my hands when I pick it up. Please tell me what to do

The Mandrake plant has the peculiar property of being useless unless it is plucked at midnight.

A word of caution: as you've probably noticed already, it's dangerous going to the graveyard at midnight! There are ghosts and unfriendly things sucking away the hero's life. It is necessary to get the Undead Unguent for some protection.

I hope that helps!

Almirena said it all, but here's another hint.

To get full points for your actions, do this. Wait till midnight OUTSIDE the cemetary, when it says 'your getting tired', it's midnight. Use the undead unguent on yourself and go in the graveyard, take the root and dart out.

The reason why doing it like that is better is this. Getting points for the cemetary at midnight/rubbing the unguent is different for each version of QFG 1, in one of them (I forgot which) you get points for using the Uguent at midnight, while in another (I forgot too), you get points simply for entering the graveyard at midnight. Doing it in the above way will make sure you get the points.

Till next time stay cool

You can know what time it is by pressing Ctrl + D

And make sure you re close to the cemetery - that way you won't have to run into any monsters that will delay you.

Exactly, and don't worry about the ghost that's there, s/he can't hurt you. Although that's strange, since in the EGA version, one of them swoops down at you and stays really close.
