Once Upon a Time

[gavin82098]

Same here....I have never seen the web small, or gotten back in enough time.....I really don't think it should be easy.....but I am beginnning to think it just doesn't work on my machine!!

I have started chapter 3 over 5 times, I went to the tree, ate the fruit, got the key, opened the door,went to the barn and got the crank. I made it back to the web in enough time ( Jack was still going fast from eating the fruit) but the spider web still gets me every time!

I have started over, started in the middle, started over, I watch the spiders, read the plaque, eat the fruit, get the key, go to the shack, get the handle. I have turned the water on and off, and sometimes not, got back, and the web is always the same. I have the patch. I always arrive with time to spare, but the web never changes. Please help. Am I missing a step? Do  I need to even do anything with the fountain?

Are you still on an earlier version of the game?  Following an email discussion with Zargblast it became obvious that some PCs ran the timer too fast to be able to complete the chapter, though I had done so on 2 different machines and I am not the quickest gamer in the world (in shooting games I never survive very long!).  Also I do not understand why the timer runs at different speeds on different PCs (see my ealier post above).

I decided to update the game with a slower timer and a couple of extra hints to help gamers understand what they need to do.  A patch is available to update the game to version 1b (see my post on the Completed Games thread).  In this slower version I can complete the chapter with time to spare!

I'm sorry that so many of you seem to be having trouble with this chapter.

consult the wikipedia. So

Spoiler

the last tile, lower right corner, is in the correct position.

the capricorn in the lower left is in the wrong position. remove it, then move all tiles one position towards the lower left corner, except aquarius, the tile in the lower right corner.
put the carpicorn in the open space above aquarius.

And I am stuck in chapter 8

Spoiler

have found the cloak and have the mirror, so I can defend myself against the dragon king, but it is a tie game. I cannot move to the big doors in the middle of the room and the dragon king cannot hurt me.

I am  still stuck on chapter 5 can't figure out the riddle on the wall. I read the notebook.
Can someone give me the complete answer to the riddle ?

You are talking about the Sphinx?

Spoiler

In one of the tombs you'll find the picture of a goddesse and six symbols in an elliptic frame:
- horizontal bar
- foot
- half circle
- horizontal bar
- bird
- eye

Spoiler

Thanks Snoopy! What am I missing to be able to open the door in chapter 4? I have been all over and clicked on everything but I still only have the lantern and the crank handle and they don't seem to help.

[Ian Aloser]

This is frustrating!
Please help!

Spoiler

I cannot reach the west side in the dungeon.
Turning the water gate will result in two possible
passages: North or south. No way to get west.
I guess the exit is west of the gate, judging from the map in
the guard room.
What am i doing wrong?
Please help!

Cheers and tkanks in advance

Good luck everybody. I had to quit. I accidently deleted my saved games, and when I restarted, reading the book in chapter one doesn't deter the ghosts anymore and they keep getting me. Good game. Maybe I will try again some other time. Thanks for all your help.

About reading the book:
You have to read is slowly

Spoiler

open the book to the far right, open the page about the apparitions and wait until Jack begins to laugh

[close]

About the save games, which chapters did you finish? Perhaps somebody can help with savegames and a new "start.dat".

[gavin82098]

k, I will do again. thanks.

well, I have finally seen the web small, but no matter what I do...cpukiller, change settings in setup, as soon as I enter the room with the web, it gets big again. do you think it is the patch? has anyone cleared it without the patch? thanks. resa
