Eli,

I'm currently working on the English translation, and have a played a good part of the game. Where are you stuck? What have you tried doing?

OK, here are a load of hints that should help, depending on how far you've got with the game (all in English to help everyone):

Yes, you are right about what the main goal of the game is. The first thing to do (at the waterfall ["cascata"]) is:
Spoiler

Talk to Matt about everything. He'll tell you what he needs to make you a new bass guitar. He'll also tell you what you need to do so that he can teach you the tune that will destroy the cliff.
[close]

After that, here are various things you can do at each of the places on the map. No doubt there are other things, but this is pretty much what I have done so far:

GIARDINI (park)
Spoiler

Talk to "Inutile" (who'll be called "Basket Case" in the English version). To challenge him, you need to find something to use as a whip (I don't know what). I think that if you do, and you beat him in the challenge, you'll get a the whip from him, which, as he as hinted, is useful to you in some way (see next hint).
[close]

Spoiler

South American Indians use the material that the whip is made out of to make strings for instruments... that is something you need for the guitar.
[close]

Spoiler

Look in the sandpit.
[close]

GIARDINI PARROCCHI (church grounds)
Spoiler

Go into the church. Talk to the Blues Brothers about everything. They can help you, but you'll need to be appropriately dressed. Make a note of what they say you need to wear.
[close]

CASCATA (waterfall)
Spoiler

Talk to Matt about everything, if you haven't already. Things to check out: kebabs; postcards; T-shirts; telescope; Sminkio doll; Pino Scotto doll; dilapidated bridge. Whether any of these get you anywhere, I don't know.
[close]

CASA NONNO E JANNA (Grandpa and Janna's house)
Spoiler

Talk to Nonno (Grandpa) about everything.
[close]

Spoiler

I'm not sure whether the climbing plant on the wall or the video entryphone are useful in any way.
[close]

Spoiler

There is an item here you can pick up.
[close]

Spoiler

Go into Janna's cave and talk to her about everything.
[close]

Spoiler

There is a "useful" item here you can take that is not much use by itself, but...
[close]

Spoiler

Once it is in your inventory, look at it or interact with it to find something of genuine "utility".
[close]

Spoiler

Go into the prison cells. Talk to the priest about everything to find out what he wants you to do (see next hint).
[close]

Spoiler

He needs proof that you are a trustworthy person. I don't know what this is yet.
[close]

CARLO'S CAFE
Spoiler

Talk to Carlo about everything. Look at and interact with the games and the fridge. I don't know if any of this gets you anywhere.
[close]

FERMATA (bus stop)
Spoiler

Talk to Cuba and Mila about everything. Someone elsewhere in the game has something they would like.
[close]

Spoiler

Go into the tunnel. Examine the posters. There is something you can take here. It might be useful for your costume, I'm not sure.
[close]

CAMPO DA CALCIO (soccer pitch)
Spoiler

Try to take the ball. Caio won't let you have it.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Caio. He'll ask you three questions. Get the answers right he'll give you the ball. If you get them wrong, just try again. I won't give the right answers here, partly because I don't want to spoil the game and partly because I can't remember which ones they are :) but they are the same every time.
[close]

MONUMENTO (monument)
Spoiler

Go to the POSTE (post office). I haven't found anything else useful you can do at the monument yet.
[close]

Spoiler

Interact with the trash can and you'll find something.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Emogirl about everything. You'll find out the sort of person she likes to go out with.
[close]

Spoiler

Go into the bar. They sell ice-cream here. Someone else in the game likes ice-cream (who you might or might not yet have spoken too) - I'm not sure whether this is significant.
[close]

This is less than half of what I have done so far and should keep you busy for a while. I'll post more tips later.

EDIT: OK, more tips, continued from the above.

One other key goal of the game:
Spoiler

Find four musicians who can teach you the tune you need to destroy the cliff with. I won't say who these might be, but so far I've found two solo artists and two groups.
[close]

One big hint on clicking on things: if you click on something, sometimes it has no effect because Captain Fortune walks over the top of the thing that you clicked on. Try clicking and then moving the cursor well out of his way. This doesn't always work, but does sometimes.

Spoiler

In the bar next to where the emo girl is, talk to Manny about being a connoisseur of cocktails. He'll tell you how to make a cocktail. There's someone else in the game who would like one of these, but there are a load of ingredients you'll need to find first. You may already have seen some of them in other locations or got hold of some of them. You'll find at least one of them near someone who is crying.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Manny about being the Grim Reaper. He'll want proof that there's been an accident. Once you've given him something, you'll be able to take something you need from this room.
[close]

Spoiler

To prove that there has been an accident, give two other characters elsewhere in the game something to play with. Oh dear!
[close]

Spoiler

Investigate what has happened. Here you'll find something that proves you have been here.
[close]

Spoiler

Don't forget to go into the theatre (off to the right of Manny's bar). There's someone else here who needs your help.
[close]

PARCHEGGIO (car park/parking lot)
Spoiler

Talk to Agente Ryder (Officer Ryder). No doubt there is something useful you can find out here too.
[close]

FONTANA (fountain)

Spoiler

Try to take the parcel. It looks like you need to find some way of getting hold of it. Talk to Felicina. You can use an inventory object somewhere here, too, to collect something you need.
[close]

Go left to the CARBONAIO (a place that was used by the criminal Carboneri in days gone by).
Spoiler

You can get your hands on something in this building even though you can't go inside.
[close]

There must be something you can do in the FALEGNAME (carpenter's workshop) but I haven't found out what yet.

FORNAIO (bakery)
Spoiler

Talk to Nardo - he'll give you another task.
[close]

Spoiler

There is an item you can take here that will be useful later on.
[close]

CASA DI SMINKIO (Sminkio's house)
Spoiler

There is a item you can take here.
[close]

Spoiler

Have a look in a place where things often get lost, and you'll find another item.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Sminkio about everything. I'm not sure whether this is useful or not.
[close]

PIAZZA
Spoiler

Talk to the butcher. You'll get another inventory item.
[close]

Spoiler

Just on the left, a little way up the steps, is the rear entrance of the butcher's shop. You can get into the butcher's that way.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Jason about everything (and there's plenty to talk about). I'm not sure whether this is useful or not, but it is amusing.
[close]

Spoiler

There is what looks like an inventory item here, but I'm not sure whether you can pick it up. At least, when I tried, Jason got upset.
[close]

CASA DELL'ESPERTO DI CAPITELLI (house of the export on capitals - that's the tops of columns, by the way, not capital cities or capital letters).

Spoiler

Somewhere in this room is an item that is of use to you.
[close]

Spoiler

I wonder if a bit of matchmaking might be possible here? I don't know how, though.
[close]

STUDIO DATABASE
Spoiler

Talk to Pino Scotto about everything. This will suggest something else you need to do.
[close]

Spoiler

There is someone else here you need to talk to, too, but you can't see him. You'll have to move the cursor around until you hit the appropriate hotspot. His name is a pun.
[close]

Spoiler

Talking the hidden person will reveal another possible task.
[close]

VETTA (peak)
I haven't been able to get here yet. Maybe you need something to get there, or need to have done something.

SOTTO IL PONTE (bridge)
Spoiler

Talk to It (the clown) about everything.
[close]

Spoiler

There is an object here you can take.
[close]

CASA NATALINO (Natalino's house)
Spoiler

Try to open the boot (trunk) of the car. You need something to open it with. A relative might be able to help you here.
[close]

Spoiler

Talk to Natalino about everything.
[close]

BOSCO (woods)
Spoiler

Part of your guitar is here. I haven't been able to get it.
[close]

Spoiler

Search the shed.
[close]

Spoiler

There is a boat (BATTELLO) down by the river. It's a bit hard to walk there.
[close]

Spoiler

Once on the boat, go inside and talk to Tilly about everything. Here you'll get another task, for which you need inventory item you don't yet have.
[close]

Spoiler

Go through the doors on the right. Talk to the character here about everything. Swap a certain inventory item (already mentioned above) for something you need from him.
[close]

Spoiler

Go back and do what you need to do with Tilly. To win, you need to beat her three times. If you fail, go back and try again. Making the same choices gives the same results, so once you win one round, that is what you need to do to win that round again. No answers here... work it out for yourself! Tilly rewards you with something you needed earlier on.
[close]

And one more hint at the RUPE (cliff)
Spoiler

There are two hotspots here that have not been given names ("Hotspot 3" and "Hotspot 4"). Investigate both. You'll need an inventory item (I don't know what) in order to do be able to do anything with one of them.
[close]

Phew! That's as far as I've got, and now I'm stuck. It looks like there's still a long way to go!

Anyone have any further hints on how to go on from here?

Thank you, Dualnames, it's nice of you to say so.

This is a big game, with dozens of rooms and lots of side quests. I estimate I'm a little over halfway through.

By the way, I've got a bit further now, so if anyone has made use of everything above and is stuck, I can provide more hints.

EDIT: While working on the English translation, I completed the game and played through pretty much everything that it's possible to do in the game, so I (or Punkkommando, of course) should be able to help if anyone gets stuck with anything else.

Thank you Paolo.

Please tell me (exactly) which is the inventory item I have to swap with Larry... please please

I like this game very much!!!

Post by: on Thu 06/11/2008 04:09:53
 ???IS ANYONE WORKIN ON A WALK THROUGH FOR THIS GAME
IT IS SOOOOO HARD AND CONFUSING
I'M STUCK AND THE LITTLE HELP GIVEN IS SOME WHAT CONFUSING
HELP!!!!!!!!  HELP!!!!!!!!!
Title: Re: Dovadula´s burn
Post by: paolo on Thu 06/11/2008 12:48:02
Eli

A couple of hints first:
Spoiler

If you played the Leisure Suit Larry games, you might have an idea what it is already. If not, you need something that he can use to play a game with, but you'll know that already if you've spoken to Larry.
[close]

Spoiler

There is a place in the game where there are two characters who are into games.
[close]

Partial solution:
Spoiler

Go to the bakery and talk to the guy playing with the yo-yo.
[close]

Rest of the solution:
Spoiler

He says you can kick the Dungeon Master. Do so, and something will fall out of his pocket on to the ground (behind you, so you'll have to move to one side to see it).
[close]

keisha

Can you tell us what you have tried and what it is you are trying to do at the moment (using spoiler tags, please)? I posted the above tips when I was only part way through the game and so a lot of things didn't make sense at that point. This is a huge game so unless there is something in particular you are stuck on it's hard to give specific help. There is no walkthrough as far as I am aware.

By the way, please don't type all in capitals - I know the game text is all in capitals but shouting is not nice :)

-------

One other general hint that should help a lot with this game - try walking to hotspots. Many of the rooms in the game are not accessible directly from the map but only through another room. For example, you can get to the post office only by going to the monument and walking south.

Ja jajajajaj!!!!

When you say "ECO PER TUTTI", do you mean the coconut in the tree?

Spoiler

Have you been to the bar yet (top left exit from the post office)? There is another room next to the bar as well. Talk to the people in both of these rooms if you haven't already. Once you have done this, you will know why you need the coconut.
[close]

Hints for getting the coconut:
Spoiler

You can't knock it down or throw anything at it... maybe something like a laser would work...
[close]

Spoiler

Perhaps you could harness the power of the sun to burn the coconut and make it fall.
[close]

Spoiler

Someone has something that will reflect the sun's rays.
[close]

Spoiler

Have you been to the fortifications/murata (top exit from the square/piazza)? There is someone there with something you could use, but he won't give it to you.
[close]

Spoiler

How could you persuade him to give you the contents of his pockets?
[close]

Spoiler

You believe he is a criminal, so what kind of person would he willingly turn his pockets out for?
[close]

Spoiler

Maybe you could pretend to be a police officer and search him... how could you do that?
[close]

Spoiler

There's a police officer in the game. Maybe you could get something from him that you could use to pretend to be a police officer.
[close]

Spoiler

There is a police officer somewhere in the game. You need to find a way of distracting him.
[close]

Spoiler

He's on the look-out for the criminal in the poster, so perhaps if he couldn't see the poster properly, he wouldn't know who he was looking for.
[close]

Spoiler

There's something in another room that is being used in exactly this manner.
[close]

keisha

There is something lying on the ground next to grandpa, in front of the house.

Also, if you talk to Natalino and grandpa, you'll find there's something else that grandpa can give you, but you need to do quite a lot more in the game before you can get it.

Have you been into the cave?
Title: Re: Dovadula´s burn
Post by: on Sun 09/11/2008 16:40:29
WOWWWW how many tips!!! Thanks you a lot Paolo.

I used the thing I got from the man´s pocket, and now I have the complete.... and the portafoglio.

I have not been able to reflect the sun´s rays with them and I´m stuck again. The most probably is I did not understood well, or I have to do something different with them to obtain that thing to reflect the rays.

When I tried to use the portafoglio... I only can look at it, not used of pick it up.

Other thing, really I can believe that the person who made this wonderful game is a young of twenty... He´s a genius.  I have had a very nice time playing it.

keisha

You're doing fine at the moment. If you've been to the church, you'll know
Spoiler
what the suit is for.
[close]

Remains:
Spoiler
Ignore these. They're just for show. I assume you've picked up the spirit level on the ground on the other side of grandpa. Someone else in the game might want it.
[close]

Boot (of the car, or the trunk if you're American) and bear:
Spoiler
These are related - once you solve one, you'll be able to solve the other, but there's a lot you need to do before then.
[close]

Some hints on the car boot and the bear:
Spoiler

* Talk to Don Crosta (in the cells in Janna's cave). He wants you to prove you're trustworthy. Captain Fortune says he has something (not in your inventory) that he supposes won't work. Can you find something similar that's more impressive?
* Look carefully around the fortifications/murata and the square/piazza in case there's something there that you've missed.
* Talk to Cindy in the theatre and Manny in the bar (off the post office) to find out what they need. There's a list of items they want you to collect.
* You will have seen one of these is in Janna's cave, but you need some way of picking it up.
* Look at/interact with everything in the park if you haven't already.
[close]

There's still a lot to do after that to solve these two puzzles, but hopefully this will help you get a bit further.

The hotspot for the spirit level must be just visible then - that's good. Leon, have you been able to pick it up?

What's the golden thing?

I've given hints on getting the coconut above - have you tried them? If so, where are you stuck?

Paolo, us I cannot hide, I change the words... jejjeje... the thing is dorata.

I did everything you said but I only have the little paper to get the suit and I cannot use the wallet (only I can look at it).  I don´t have anything to use with sun´s rays in order to get the coconut.

I think I have all the guys in the church want me to have ... but now I cannot do anything, only walk around.

Thanks for everything.

What spirit level?  ;)

(http://www.freewebs.com/ultimategamesolutions/photos/Screenshots/dovadulasburn-screen2.png)
Is there a difference between the ITA and the ENG version? I'm playing the most recent version.
Title: Re: Dovadula´s burn
Post by: paolo on Mon 10/11/2008 20:51:51
Leon

The English and Italian versions use the same GUI at the bottom of the screen. Yes, you're right - it's completely invisible. I'm really sorry about that. I'll have to see if I can upload a patch.

Eli

To hide text, type [hide ] in front of the text and [/hide ] afterwards (WITHOUT the spaces).

Hint on the wallet:
Spoiler

You believe Luccico is running a criminal business - he says he is running a laundry service, but the police believe he is a pimp. Maybe you can find some evidence of his criminal activities to give to the police.
[close]

Another hint:
Spoiler

Put something in the wallet that will make it look like he is involved in criminal activity, then show it to the police officer in the car park.
[close]

Another hint:
Spoiler

Perhaps you could put some drugs in the wallet...
[close]

Another hint:
Spoiler

You won't find any drugs, but there is something that looks very much like drugs.
[close]

Another hint:
Spoiler

You can find it at the coal house.
[close]

Solution:
Spoiler

Put your hand in the hole in the window at the coal house to get the flour. Put this in the wallet. Give the wallet to Officer Ryder in the car park.
[close]

Once you have done this,
Spoiler
go back to the fortifications for something that will help with the coconut.
[close]

In the church:
Spoiler

Once you have everything, go back to the church. If you have everything you need, Captain Fortune will tell the Blues Brothers. There's nothing else you need to do. If he doesn't say anything when you walk into the church, then you don't have everything you need. Remember, you need a black suit, black shoes, a black tie, dark glasses and a black hat.

I've uploaded a patch to fix the embarrassing bug with the spirit level. See my latest posting in the Completed Games Announcements thread (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=35767.msg472828#msg472828) for the link.

Oh dear, it shouldn't be... I think I made the status bar a little bit higher when I was bug-fixing because the text didn't fit, but I hope I haven't covered up the spirit level completely. I'll check when I get home.

I've fixed the problem that meant you couldn't pick up the spirit level. Unfortunately it means you'll have to download the game again (click on "New link" below). Your old savegames should work with the new version of the game.

Many apologies to everyone for the inconvenience, and for not checking this before I uploaded the game the first time round!

Thanks Paolo....

A warning though: (I'm a bit puzzled here).

I started the new version, loaded my saved game and guess what? No spirit level.
I started a new game, went straight to grandpa and it's clearly visible there.

At least it works now, but, although your save games will work, don't be fooled. At least I have to start all over again... [sigh]

Good thing I wrote a walkthrough...  ;D

Ah, yes of course... remember that savegames save EVERYTHING about the game, including rooms and the positions of objects in them... so when you reload the room, the spirit level is still in its old (bad) position.

So unfortunately you do need to start again. Sorry about that. I had planned to play through the whole game before I uploaded it for Punkkommando, just to make sure everything was OK, but everything looked as if it was OK so I didn't bother... there's a lesson for me to learn there ;)

If you walk in there with all the needed stuff in your posession, it should go automatically. If not, there's still something missing.

To reiterate, you need:

a black suit, black shoes, a black tie, dark glasses and a black hat.

As Leon says, if you have everything, then when you go into the church, the scene with the Blues Brothers will be triggered automatically. If it isn't, then you don't have everything you need. So let us know what you don't have and then we can post a hint on how to find it.

The black hat can be found in the house of Don Crosta. You need to talk to him in prison next to Janna's cave.

[edit] Just tried but I really don't have an entry to the tunnel. Not from the fountain, not from the bus stop.  From which screen did you take the left? Lower left of the busstop is the monument, lowerleft of the fountain is coal shop.

Leon, I get there from the map entering by CARBONAIO or from FORNAIO... I hope this help you.

I don't get it. CARBONAIO leads to  FONTANA. FORNAIO leads to CARBONAIO.

I'm looking for the tunnel with the posters because I need the censoring strip. In the old version of the game this wasn't a problem. Now I can't reach it anymore. Anyone?

Oh wel.... I really don't get it. For some reason, during the game this hotspot disappeared. When I start a new game and go directly to the fountain I can reach the tunnel. When I load my savegame the hotspot is gone...  ???

I'll start again (third time) and see what happens along the way. Thanks for keeping up with me.

You mean Don Crosta? You need to convince him you're trustworthy. Only then he'll give you the key of his house. Near the fortification you can find something that'll convince him.

Post by: Leon on Sat 15/11/2008 17:49:21
YESSSSS!!!! I can reproduce the error! I know what happens now (and it is a dead end in the game!).

To reproduce:

Spoiler
- Start a new game
- Get the football from the pitch by answering the questions
- Goto the busstop and give the ball to Mila
- Visit the fountain and the tunnel is gone
[close]

Ergo: Creating the crash before visiting the tunnel makes the correct entrance of the tunnel disappear and thus the strip unobtainable.
Update: The strip can also be obtained from the crahssite.

[part 2] Man man man I really have my day. I lured the capitalologist away from his desk, try to take the capital, do I hear a voice saying: "Don't even think about it." As if he's still there.

And I also nailed this one! To reproduce:

Spoiler
- Give the rose to emo
- Give letter to capitalologist.
- Get note and adjust note
- Give note to emo
- Call capital... with the right answers
- Get rose. LOOK AT ROSE AND CUT
- Try to get Capital from desk --> No go!
[close]

Another dead end.... To resolve: first get capital then look at rose.

You really know how to hide those bugs...  ;)

To make the drink for Cindy you need to find quite a few things... Manny (in the bar) will have told you what you need. Which of these do you already have and which do you still need? Remember, when you have them all, you need to mix them in an oily container, so you'll need to find something that is oily.

Eli:

Black hat:

The black hat you get from Don Crosta's house is the right one, I believe.
[close]

Papaya:

Hint 1:
Spoiler

If I remember correctly, the condom machine distributes various flavours of condom.
[close]

Hint 2:
Spoiler

You'll need a 5-euro coin for the machine. If you don't already have one, you can find one at Sminkio's house.
[close]

Hint 3:
Spoiler

You might not get the right condom first time from the machine, so you need some way of getting your coin back if you get it wrong.
[close]

Hint 4:
Spoiler

Combine the coin with something that you move away from you and then pull back...
[close]

Hint 5:

The yo-yo.

Hint 6:

Use the resulting contraption to get a papaya-flavour condom from the machine.

Hi all -

I think I've gotten pretty far but I have been wandering around in circles trying to open the boot and move the bear .

Also I cannot do anything with hotspots 3 or 4. (at the cliff)

Can someone please give me a bump in the right direction or a hint as to what needs to be done first?

I only need 1 more ingredient for the drink and can't find that either.

Thanks!!!

keisha, you are correct that
Spoiler
the boot contains the oily container that you need to put the drink ingredients into in order to make the drink.
[close]

Cheryl - hotspots 3 and 4 at the cliff don't do anything. What item are you missing for the drink?

As for opening the boot, this is a pretty hard puzzle, so I'm not surprised people are having problems.

To open the boot:
Spoiler

Use the sceptre on the boot.
[close]

To get the item you need to use to open the boot:
Spoiler

Grandpa has the sceptre, but he won't give it to you. You need to distract him so that you can get it from him.
[close]

Spoiler

Distract Grandpa by doing something to Janna.
[close]

You need two items to do this. If you have them:
Spoiler

Use the surfboard on Janna or on the thing she is sitting on (I don't remember which one works) to create a springboard. It will appear next to Janna. Then use the bottle of energy water on Janna/the springboard/her drinking fountain (I don't remember which) to inject some energy into the proceedings. Janna will be catapulted into the doorway to the cells and get stuck there. After the cutscene, go back outside.
[close]

Where the first item is:
Spoiler

The surfboard is in Don Crosta's house (getting into his house is a separate puzzle for which hints have already been given). Take the hat, operate the switch and the surfboard will appear high up on the wall (press Tab to see where it is, then Tab again to get the game interface back).
[close]

To get the first item:
Spoiler

Take the LPs and play them on the stereo. The surfboard will fall off the wall.
[close]

To find the second item:
Spoiler

The bottle of energy water is next to Pino Scotto at the Database Studios.
[close]

Steps for getting the second item:
Spoiler

There is an empty water bottle is in a bin/trash can. There are two or three of these in the game and they are easy to find.
[close]

Spoiler

Fill the water bottle from the fountain (next to Felicina).
[close]

Spoiler

Go to Database Studios and use your bottle of water on Pino's to swap them.
[close]

Hi, if I don´t remember wrong ...

I got the sceptre  (or scepter) a long time ago without need to distract the grandfather... without doing all that things you said with Janna.

When I opened the boot I got the thing I used with the bear. I cannot get the oil ... I don´t know how to do that...

In any case I did all that things you said in the hints and I´m trying to find the correct place to put the bottle. For me this is the hardest in this game... to find the exact place ...

fiuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Title: Re: Dovadula´s burn
Post by: Leon on Wed 19/11/2008 17:39:25
Spoiler

The bottle from the trashcan at the postoffice filled with water from the fountain next to the coal shop should be replaced with the one on the counter next to Pino.

Use the bottle with energy water on the surfboard under Janna.
[close]

How did you do that without distracting him? Don't you mean the spirit level? That was in plain sight. The scepter is only there after you got rid of Janna.

I think that works only if you have all the ingredients... it doesn't work for me with any one.

I got the spirit without problem and I picked up the thing I used with the bear from the boot that I opened with the sceptre that I picked up without distracting the grandfather. (Without doing all that with Janna)

What a thing, no?

I don't remember what the secret ingredient is - sorry! But when (and only when) you have all the ingredients,

use any of them on the opened boot to get the drink.

Have you spoken to the cavemen to the bus stop yet and given them something they would like (if not, I gave hints on how to get this in my first big posting to this thread)?
[close]

Spoiler

They have something that they say is a treasure and that they want a greater treasure. Unfortunately, I don't remember what it was, so maybe someone else can help you here if you don't yet have anything that works.
[close]

As for the other two items you mention, have you been to the waterfall yet? There is a small one in the room with Matt's stall, but there is another one you can get to by going north from Matt's stall. There are a few things you need to do there.

Another buggy? I have all the items to make the bass: circuit, pickguard, hair, climbing plant, iron wire, half capital and back rest. When you have these items in your posession and the golden whip, a visit to Matt/Souvenir shop should be enough to get the bass. Butt.... whatever I do, no bass.

Again a frustrating dead end.... see what I can do.

Title: Re: Dovadula´s burn
Post by: Leon on Fri 21/11/2008 17:43:44
Ok.... hold on....

I finished the game and know all answers to your problems....
However, while going through the WT the final time, I stumbled upon a continuity problem (again).

If you tell me where you're stuck I can give you the answer and check if this could be a continuity issue or just missing items (probably because you need loads of them).

Eli, enjoy your days off, I can use them as well.... :-)

So here it is: The walkthrough! (http://gamesolutions.efzeven.nl/dovadulas-burn-walkthrough-pietro-turri2008/)

Some remarks about it:

The WT written here has been tested with the latest version of the game.

There are some continuity issues that I know of:                                                         
Spoiler

     = taking the bottle from the trash at the postoffice.
     = staining the broken rose too early.
     = having all items for the bass but not getting notified
     = using the energy water with the surfboard.
[close]

At some stages I wasn't able to do this. For the issues with the bass and rose I had to go back to a saved game. The other two could be solved by doing it again at a later stage in the game. They all need further investigation but it can occur.
