Title: Ben There but Can't Dan That
Post by: Kweepa on Sun 13/07/2008 23:50:29
Hi.
I'm really enjoying this game but am stuck near the end.

Spoiler

I have opened all doors (including the secret one) except the apartment door. I think I need to bend the lamp post (since I have the hand on a rope) and/or do something with some sugar cubes.
[close]
A clue?
Thanks!

No it wouldn't: the 2 wires to a one-way light switch are always both live: the switch simply breaks the live continuity. Turning off the switch simply stops one of the wires from being live. See http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/lightcircuit.htm for more details...

Spoiler
No. It's between the top hat-door and the zombie doll-door.

You get into it by simply interacting with it, but I notice that when I do that, Ben or Dan says "This wasn't here before", so you may have to do other actions in the game to unlock the door. Personally I think I found it as one of the first things after I opened the lava world door, but it may have been there earlier too.

You should have a sponge by now... throw that at the watery-blob guy.  The sponge will soak him up  and the ticket will fall to the floor.  You should easily be able to pick it up using the normal hand cursor.

Haydn, here's some hints for you to help you without giving it away, in decreasing order of subtelty:

Hint 1

Spoiler

Have a look at what other objects you need to open the doors to the other dimensions. See if something looks familiar.
[close]

Hint 2

Spoiler

Check out the pub again, you need to get something from here. You should have the items you need.
[close]

Hint 3

Spoiler

You need to get the top hat from the barman, so you'll have to get him to leave. He says he's tired of dealing with drunkards collapsing... Have you been to all the rooms in the pub?
[close]

Solution if the hints don't help

Spoiler

Go through the back door in the pub, and then use the key to unlock the far left door to the cellar. Go into it and use the tubes which go into the beer kegs to switch them round. Go back up to the main pub room and talk to the lager louts. Ask them about their drinking game, keep talking to them until they drink up after saying 'come on England'. They should collapse which is the last straw for the poor barman.

The key to the hot world is the model X-wing, from the dino world.

To get it, you have to "distract" the T-Rex who won't let you have it.

There is another item in the room which can help you with that.

Spoiler
The nerdosaurus' Death Star. But of course, the nerdosaurus won't let you use that either, so he needs to be distracted...
[close]

Spoiler
In the conversation with the nerdosaurus he mentions a hobby that he takes very much pride in, and could probably get him away from his desk...

Spoiler
He holds the high score on one of the arcade machines in the back of the room. Beat his highscore, and he'll come after you to try beating it again.

Spoiler
Ben sucks at the arcade game, so let Dan play it.

Now, interact with the death star.

The item you need for the other puzzle you're mentioning is in a world you haven't unlocked yet.

Well I'm down to taking care of the camera (at least I figure that's the only thing left in the museum) and I'm most stumped. Any help? Much appreciated.

You have to throw something at it.

Cover the lens with mud.

If you don't have the mud, you can get it in the museum (same room as the dioramas and comic books).

To take the mud, swap the rock with it.

Hello
Spoiler
I am by the Bible verses, but I only have a swedish bible. Should that affect the outcome somehow?

Here's what I got:
Job 15: 30: "He won't escape the darkness, he is a weed that is burnt in the heat."
Kings 18: 45: "Meanwhile the sky was covered with dark clouds, it blew and started to rain"
Acts 2: 2: "Suddenly from the sky a noise like that of a stormwind, and it filled the entire house where they were"
(Very loose translation)

Are there going to be other puzzles like this?

I have read the hints about the light switch at the beginning of the game, but I can't figure out how to turn off the switch so that I can take the wire.

Wendy:

Hint
Spoiler
Ben says only a complete idiot would touch the light switch, so maybe he's not the man for the job? Maybe there's another action you haven't tried yet? (Cycling with right mouse button)
[close]

Solution
Spoiler
You need to cycle through the actions until you get Dan's head. Use that to click on the light switch. Apparently he loves doing that! Now you can safely touch the wire.

it's crazy, but I still can't see it! I'm standing in the yin room, seeing the door that i came from, an yin on the island, an opened door, a street-lamp, a wrecked London, and another floating island. I have a sponge and coins in my inventory. AND I DON'T SEE ANY ROCKS FOR ABOUT 3 HOURS ;D

On the ground on the floating island you're standing on.

Try moving your characters around a little bit to make sure they're not overlapping it.

Worst case scenario: There's a bug in the game which has caused the rock to disappear completely.

I tried replaying it, and it's there on my screen. Took a screenshot: Here it is (http://www.olafsolstrand.no/btdtrock.png)

Post by: olafmoriarty on Wed 13/08/2008 19:38:35
I don't know exactly what happened to Dmitry or not (I just said that in the worst case scenario, there could be a rock-removing bug in the game), but IF the situation is that the rock needed to progress in the game disappears at some point if you don't do everything in the correct order so that you can't even finish the game, I would call that a bug, yes..

If the situation is something completely different, e.g. that the rock moves around in the game and is placed on random places depending on progress in the game or that I misunderstood Dmitry somehow (which could happen), feel free to ignore my stupid rambling. But IF an object needed to progress in the game disappears so that the game is impossible to finish ... that's a bug.

There's nothing complicated going on with the rock whatsoever. It's a simple object that's visible on startup, and in plain view on entering that dimension...

You don't have to have a wire, you should use the wire in the box. Then replace the panel.

You can't get into the castle, it's only there as exposition.

You can get into the museum shop, though ;)
