Title: Netherworld
Post by: Snarky on Sun 02/07/2006 17:01:45
Uh, I can't figure out what to do. I'm on the first screen, the only hotspot is the ferryman, and clicking on him has no effect. No items in the inventory. I'm stumped.

Ah, cheers! Given the delay it takes for the verb-coin to show up, I would never have got that.

I am stuck here also...
Spoiler
On the screen with the doors to heaven and hell there is a piece of jagged rock near the leftmost door but when i touch it, it says it hurt me thats all...I think I need either precious stones or some fireberries with water to create an allergic reaction in the salesman...I don't have anything in my inventory...??

Rosie: Are you asking how to use a verb coin interface? You just left click and hold over a hotspot and interactions appear...or are you asking for the correct responses to cross the river?
Title: Re: Netherworld
Post by: Rosie on Sun 02/07/2006 22:23:28
I guess the correct responses to cross the river, I keep getting the same questions over and over again and nothing is working.......The same ones come up over and over again.  Is there an order to this?  Would love to play the game, but not getting anywhere.

Okay I finally got a little further in this game once I found:
Spoiler
a stone near the entrance to the pathway
[close]

and Rosie here are the correct responses:
Spoiler
Talk to the ferryman until he says don't talk to me until you are ready to do business, then say: 1)so...business, 2)what like you?, 3)those robes look tatty, 4)how long have you been waiting?, 5)gee, an eternity of service..., 6)well, you dont want to compromise...and there you go!

Take a cup of water into the room with the imps, then water the plant. While the imps are "distracted" look at the coal.

You need to quickly grab the trident and go through the "unusual" door.

b.b. wannabe,
Spoiler

You need to distract the gal with the horns.
What can you fiddle with?
The projector.
But you can't reach it.
What do you have in your inventory?
Try with the stick.
You still can't reach it.
How can you get closer?
Use the couch.

Title: Re: Netherworld
Post by: Rosie on Tue 04/07/2006 00:22:09
We are all stuck in the same place.... The only thing that is on my mind is escaping thru the furnace?  I put the water on the plant which distracted them to get the diamond.  Then thought maybe I would go out and get more water and do the plant thing again and go outside get more water and put it on the fire, but when I got back inside they were there already. When you put the hand icon on the furnace  he says , its too hot to climb into,which makes me think we have to put the fire out??? But you cant do it with them there, so I don't know what to do and then again, maybe this is not it at all.  Any ideas???

Ok, everyone APOLOGIES.

There's seems to be an error where a certain object crucial to the game isn't being switched on.

I have fixed it (along with a WHOLE bunch of other updates). I'll post here or in MAGS when I can upload it.

Sorry everyone!!!

Thanks for fixing what had to be fixed.  I downloaded the new version and played over again.....And I am still stuck in the same place as before......So I guess I will have to wait to see if anyone else comes up with the answer to what to do next.......got diamond, watered plant, etc.

Hi,

This is what I did:

1) found dirty rock and use it in rock at left door and it created a crack.

How get walking stick and spray from old man?

I've read that we should give emerald stone to the old man but what to do to get emerald stone?
