Well, you're not really tied to the desert...... and what conducts perfectly and does NOT exist in the desert? ;-)

I'm sorry Ghost, but I'm going to have to deduct 5 Cool Points from your Cool Account for that pun.

step on the flat stones and watch the steam flowing out of the pipes. Stepping on the stones in the correct sequence moves the note from left to right, first from the left three pipes to the middle, then to the right. Move the note to the rightmost (bent) pipe. Next, blow the note up in the air and it will land at the place you saw it when you arrived at the island. Be careful when you pick it up again

Ok I'm stuck in the part with the floating door and the 4 lights, I've already
Spoiler
taken the key from under the rock.
[close]

What shall I do?
Title: Re: box

Subtle hint:

Spoiler
In order to open the door, you must figure out what significance the key has to the area. Compare the key to the surroundings.
[close]

Bigger hint:

Spoiler
Pay close attention to the lamps. Notice how they are all at different heights?
[close]

Direct answer:

Spoiler
You must turn the lamps on in a specific order - this order can be found by looking at the order of the 4 pegs on the key. The longest notch corresponds to the tallest lamp and so on - turn the lamps on in the same order that the pegs on the key are in and you'll be in your way in no time

Have you used all the dialog options? The robot *can* shed some light.
Have you tried to use the BOX again? The robot mentioned something.
Spoiler
You need to say "Become The Machine Gate" in order to move to a new world.

I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I got the gem from the golem and now I don't know where to go or what to do. Using the box I can only get to the already known locations...

Mr Matti, have you tried

Spoiler
Using the gem on the box? The archive suggests that this is the purpose of having a gem, and you should be taken to an island :)

I'm stuck in the mw.
Spoiler
I got that I can make the cat follow me, the light is on, the jellyfish is there and I guess I'm supposed to catch it and scan its badge. How...!?
[close]
Title: Re: box
Post by: ThreeOhFour on Mon 02/03/2009 13:42:40
I can't really give a subtle hint how to do this so:

Spoiler
In order to get the badge you need the cat to catch the jellyfish. The cat has three interactions, one makes it sit, one makes it sleep, one makes it follow. When you interact with the jellyfish, it runs away. Get the cat to sit on one of the three platforms surrounding the light (not sleeping, sitting), and then chase the jellyfish over to the platform he is sitting on. The cat should do the rest.

Hello... I'm stuck...

Spoiler
Sally has to save that Kadin guy from being stranded. I went back to the machine world, and picked up my platform, but that doesn't seem to work.
[close]

Nevermind!

Spoiler
Had to try doing everything once more.

I'm stuck in the room after the desert.

Spoiler

I haven't found a way of getting across the gap, even after going back to the previous two rooms.

Thanks.

Paul! ;D

Spoiler
Have a look at the sign. You might be able to take it
[close]

Spoiler
If you have the sign, you can probably use it with something else to make it long enough to use as a bridge
[close]

Spoiler
If you've done this and Sally still won't walk across it, then you might need to secure it. What else do you have in your items?
[close]
Title: Re: box
Post by: Leon on Wed 04/03/2009 14:49:42
You need to combine several items.

Spoiler
Use the panel from the robot with the sign and use the screws to secure them. The combination can be used on the gaps.

Stuck on pipes the second scene.. can't get the water in the bucket what to do
Title: Re: box
Post by: ThreeOhFour on Thu 05/03/2009 07:48:35
To get water into the bucket:

Spoiler
Pick up the pipe cap on the ground, look in the bucket and find a second pipe cap (right click). Cover both pipes which have steam coming out when you turn the valve (use the caps to cover these). Then, place the bucket on the drain and turn the valve.

Title: Re: box
Post by: Leon on Sat 07/03/2009 00:37:08
You don't need the panel.

Spoiler
Look at the board on the ground and talk to Kadin again. Ask him about the board and he’ll tell you it lacks power at the moment.  Use the gem on the board and the power is restored.
