Title: Cold Meat
Post by: Stefano on Mon 05/10/2009 23:16:11
I'm supposed to...
Spoiler
...use heat expansion/cold contraction in order to get the "stone oven" (tombstone) out.
[close]
But how? I've tried all possible combinations involving:
Spoiler
1. turning hotplate on, by placing a frozen burger on it
2. turning the oven on, by placing the freezer pack inside it (it'll just get warmer)
3. turning both of these things off.
[close]
No luck. What am I doing wrong?

Spoiler
It takes some time to change the temperature. You must leave the kitchen and return to have a significant change in temperature.

Excellent! Thanks. It worked now.
I had...
Spoiler
...left the room / burned the burger before my first message, but never occurred to me that it would also achieve an even higher oven temperature.

Hint
Spoiler
Use the tie and talk to the manager. He is extremly nervous and afraid of zombies
[close]
Hint
Spoiler
He says you almost look like zombie. But your skin isn't green-gray.
[close]
Hint
Spoiler
Ask Jamai for the sauce pouch. The marinade has the colour of zombie skin, but it's to liquid to stain you face.
[close]
Solution
Spoiler
Use the marinade on the sand at the slide. Use the sandy marinade on the manager

@ MadEvie

Spoiler
You need to convince the assistant that your a health inspector. What do you have that will allow you to do that?
[close]

If your still stuck let me know what you have in your inventory.

If you'd rather just have a plain answer let me know.

@visitor

Can you get into the kitchen?

@MadEvie

1st:
Spoiler
Look at the health manual after you told Jamai, that you are the health inspector. You will find a bulletin. This bulletin will tell you how you can prove to be a health inspector
[close]
2nd:
Spoiler
You already have the buisness card, but you need the logo of the health agency. Use the nail clippers on the health guide. Use the logo on the card.
[close]
3rd:
Spoiler
You need a photo of yourself. Ask the reporter for help and use the photo on the card
[close]
4th:
Spoiler
You need to laminate the card. Put the card into the plastic bag and use the card on the hairdryer in the bathroom

Spoiler
When I look at your inventory list, you should be able to that. Did you fetch the zombie head out of the tree and used it the remains? After that you should be able to ask the reporter for a pen. You need to build the health inspector ID-card to enter the kitchen.

Post by: kaputtnik on Tue 06/10/2009 14:30:00
If I remember correctly:

Spoiler

You have to enter the kitchen and resurrect the druid before you can note tombstone inscriptions - they are not good for anything as long as you have not resurrected the druid.

1st
Spoiler
Talk to Limfor about the druid. We will tell you that his grave has somewhere on a hill.
[close]
2nd
Spoiler
Walk arround the FFF and you will find the hill, but there is lots of undergroth so you need something to find the tombstone beneath it.
[close]
3rd
Spoiler
Walk into the kitchen and take the bowl. You find lots of salad dressing in the bowl. Look at the dressing.
I think you should know what to do now ;D

Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: Stefano on Wed 07/10/2009 14:49:25
Wow! This topic has really grown since my last visit. :D
Anyway, I'm stuck again:
Spoiler
I've found all tombstones and also know what the original burial objects for Rutnor and Rektom were.
I'm currently helping Limfor remember who he was (lovely idea, by the way!! I must say I'm really enjoying the game.), but I can't figure out what to do with the bird, squirrel and trees puzzle. Are their movement supposed to be drawing an image/map? Or should I just pay attention to their positions?
[close]

EDIT: Just a small glitch (I think): when you hold the left mouse button over the squirrel, the main character's actions menu pops up.
Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: kaputtnik on Wed 07/10/2009 15:23:53
Glad you enjoy the game, Stefano!

Spoiler

Limfor always smelt a bit strange, that's what the others told you - to help Limfor remember who he was, you'll have to find something that feels and smells equally strange.

The birds and trees and the squirrel are just nice to look at :) - at least they were the last time I played the game
[close]
Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: Stefano on Wed 07/10/2009 15:36:48
Hum... maybe we're not talking about the same part of the game?
http://img39.imageshack.us/i/coldmeatss.jpg/

By the way:
Spoiler
I've already given him the stinky bag ( ;D ) filled with fish and pickles, so I think this puzzle will help me find ou what his burial object was and not what his job was, as I stated before (Sorry!)
[close]
Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: kaputtnik on Wed 07/10/2009 16:24:48
Aah, alright! In that case I guess you'll have to wait for Helme, he added that puzzle after I had been testing the game, heh...

Altough:

Spoiler

I do remember what his burial object was, and why you couldn't find it. I think you'll have to find his herbs that are hidden somewhere, so he can remember it - maybe this'll help you?
[close]
Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: Stefano on Wed 07/10/2009 17:00:36
Thank you, kaputtnik!
Yes, in that screen, we're supposed to be looking for...
Spoiler
...his stash of herbs. Clicking on the trees will make Limfor say: "My secluded stash must be somewhere around here"
[close]
All I can do is:
Spoiler
http://img202.imageshack.us/i/coldmeatss2.jpg/
Make the bird move from tree to tree, 1 to 5.
Get the squirrel to climb the branches of the 6th tree, following the A-E sequence.
[close]
It also won't let me leave this screen, so all I need is there.
All I have to do now is overcome my puzzle-solving incompetence. :D

Thanks again. I'll wait for Helme.
Title: Re: Cold Meat
Post by: Helme on Wed 07/10/2009 17:10:03
Spoiler
Both animals blink at a certain point. I think the bird blinks after it sits on the second tree, the squirrel blinks after it climbs on the sceond lowest position. When both animals are on that position look at the tree with the bird again. Now Limfor should remember
[close]

By the way, you showed lots of puzzle-solving-competence. You managed to go into the kitchen without a hint!

Spoiler
In the oven!
[close]
Spoiler
The stone fits perfectly into the oven without a gap, so you can't pull it out. Use the freezer pack on the fridge and make it cold again. Use the cold freezer pack on the oven. It need some time to cool down the stone significantly, so you need to leave the room and return. Now, there is a gap. Use the oil on it, now you can pull out the stone.
[close]
Spoiler
In the basement under the tables!
[close]
Spoiler
Look at the tables. There are much to heavy to lift them up. Put maybe you remember what can help you. There was a carjack in the car. After you lift the tables you get the chain.

Use the chain on the slide and use the end of the chain with the car.

It's triggered once you:
Spoiler
Look at the tables in the basement, but only once you've found out you need to find the stones.

Looking at the tables prior to knowing you need to find the stones will mention something about the stones being under there, but won't set off the trigger. Very confusing and unneeded walk-around puzzle, IMO.

After talking about food, the large person starts to hyperventilate. You need to give him a paper bag.

It's a combination of an item in the restaurant and the glockenspiel which is behind the restaurant by the tree and bushes, but it's only there while the rioters are there.

Post by: Meistari F on Sat 13/02/2010 18:48:59
Yes I enjoyed that game. First I thought this game was just a crap because of the weird graphics style hehe but  when I got more hang on this game I really liked that game.  It is different than other AGS games I have played but I am glad I didn't give up on this game.  I guess I was to fast to judge that game after first try.

And I have finally finish that game.  It has definatly great puzzle.  I got stuck many times in that games so that is a plus.

BTW I don't know if this text is supposed to be in german when I press the button on stove. I guess the translator forgot to translate that hehe.  That must be the only bug I found.



Great very hard puzzle
Graphics ...well even it is poor, don't judge it until you finish the game. If you like Southpark you will love it.
Story.... odd but funny.

Overall I give this game B+ ;D
