Harry Quantum 4: Doc Star
Harry Quantum is a good detective: he's recovered TV tapes for a Mr. T wannabe, he's cleared the name of a wrongly accused wrestler, and he's captured evil aliens. But if he's so good, why hasn't he actually been paid yet? Well, in turboNuke's next installment in the popular point and click adventure series, Harry Quantum 4: Doc Star, Quantum continues to follow the promise of a large payout as he travels to the faraway land of Loch Bess. Always at your side is your trusty robot companion, Graeme. Well, not actually at your side. To be honest, he doesn't even offer to help, he just demands autographs from your client and his band, Corned Beef Owls. It might just be time to get rid of him.
Click around the room to interact with the various objects in each scene. While the cursor doesn't change over hotspots, hovering over the right areas will bring up a short description in the lower left. As with the previous title, Cheese Carnival, clicking on Harry will show you all the interactive objects at once. But don't think that will make the game any easier. While not completely throwing logic out the window, Doc Star certainly has its illogical moments (you want me to do what with this hat?). Still, turboNuke continues its cartoonish graphics and quirky sense of style with a title that should delight any fan of their previous works.

Take a KNIGHT DOLL from the Souvenir shelf.

If you need additional help, you can click the hint again for more information.
The solution is the name of the star monster of the lock, Bess.
Enter Bess in "1337 speak" (a code where letters are replaced with similar looking numbers or symbols) - which translates to the combination 8355.
Click the Loch sign to return to the Loch Shore.
Loch Shore
Now that you've gotten rid of all the cameras, it's time to repair the Stone Instrument and summon the Loch Bess monster.
Place the STRAW on one end of the Stone Instrument and the WITCH'S HAT on the other end.
Use the DUCT TAPE on the holes at the side of the instrument to start a minigame.
Click the correct squares to cover them with duct tape. Refer to the image on the golden plaque to identify which squares should be covered with tape or left open.
Any space with a star icon should be left open, and any space with a wind icon should be taped over.

Click the Fallen Picture beside the door to Lola's Room to flip it over, then click the Gold Disc Award to examine it.
Note the information on the award; New Sky Blues spent 1 week at the top of the charts.
Examine the Diamond Disc Award beside the door to Percy's Room.
On this disc it states that Crystal Skull Fracture spent 2 weeks at the top.
Lastly, inspect the Uranium Disc Award beside the door to the Window Room.
The single on this disc, Carnival Queen, was at the top for 6 weeks.
Now click the combination lock on the door to Percy's Room.
Enter in the clues from the three disc awards to unlock the door.
Although you would expect the number on the left disc to be first, the middle disc to be second, and the right disc to be second, it's actually the opposite!
Look closely at the top right corner of the lock and you'll see that the words are upside down. Therefore, you need to enter the combination backwards (and the number will appear upside-down.)
Enter the code 6-2-1 in the lock (because it's upside-down, it will look like 9-2-1).
Solution
Click the unlocked door to re-enter Percy's Room. From there, exit through the window to go back to the Castle Entrance.

The first symbol at the front is the Sword, behind that is the Dragon, behind that is the Moon, and last of all is the Shield.
Solution
Go down the Secret Stairs and into the Dungeon.
