Dovadula´s burn

[Eli]

I´m playing this nice game in italian version and I need some hints or tips or better a walkthrough in any language if there are any. I have been in all the parts or rooms, I have taken with everybody but I dont know how to do next.
thanks a lot!

[paolo]

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?

[Eli]

Ciao Paolo... penso che devo trovare pezzi per costruire un basso...

[paolo]

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?

[Eli]

THANKS YOU VERY VERY MUCH...

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS

NICE GAME, NICE HINTS!!!!

[Dualnames]

I know this is irrelavant but wow paolo good job..really.

[paolo]

I know this is irrelavant but wow paolo good job..really.

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.

[Eli]

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!!!

[keisha]

 ???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!!!!!!!!!

[paolo]

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.

[Eli]

Ja jajajajaj!!!!

Thanks you Paolo. Now I have another problem. I think I need ECO PER TUTTI, but I cant pick up that, as I coudnt for days pick up the other thing I ask you before.

I like this game more and more...

Scuse me my English please

[paolo]

Ja jajajajaj!!!!

Scuse me my English please

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]

Paolo
         hi how r u?
well i tried everything
          *one thing i can't get is the thing with grandpa*
and sorry can u tell me how to use spoiler i don't know how to

[paolo]

Paolo
         hi how are you?
well i tried everything
          *one thing i can't get is the thing with grandpa*
and sorry can you tell me how to use spoiler i don't know how to

To hide text, type [ hide] in front of the text and [ /hide] after it (without the spaces).

What is the thing you are trying to get from grandpa?

[keisha]

Paolo
     

Spoiler

  hello  in the post with grandpa u said there is a something there to get
        i don't see anything but remains and can't get them so i was wonderin wat u was talkin bout

[close]

[paolo]

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?

[Eli]

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]
