Title: Space Quest II: Vohaul's Revenge Remake (IA)
Post by: arj0n on Sun 01/01/2012 13:24:51
I've never played a SQ game before.
I'm at Labion but I'm pretty stuck...

Spoiler

So far I've: mailed the letter, killed the plant-monster & freed the guy from the rope
[close]
Somehow I just can't
Spoiler
get pass the security guy on the hover to get to the north east (is that time-based?) nor can I get pass the big shrooms (no idea yet)...
[close]
So what to do first? Can someone gimme a step-by-step clue?

Try hiding from the security guy.  It may not make much sense, but if you can't see Roger, neither can the apeman.  You're not supposed to go by the way of the mushrooms in this version.

If you've gotten to the plant alive then you have at least one of the things you need to defeat it. You'll need something more appetizing to bait it.

combining these 2 items you got yourself a sort-off-bomb. Place it on the vine right in front of you (the vine that will kill you if you step on it) and it will grab it and the plant will eat it. /hide]

Since the passcode is all fruit and you're surrounded by monkeys, take a good guess (it's also apparently written down somewhere in the room with the hammock, but I never found it)

As far as where to go next, have you gotten past the level 1 security?

The code is written down on a piece of paper(?) in the hammock room (bottom center of screen).

Got the plunger and outran the alien (I let it catch me then restored just to see what happens, you don't die immediately but I guess after some time?).
I completely missed the right part of MB, got the lighter, fried the robot, got to Vohaul.

I'm small now and can't do anything to the glass, I assume I've missed an item? The OV solution says to cut the glass.

Aha, that's it, just be very very quick.
I tried it before but between switch from use to walk and run it got me already so I thought it must be a puzzle.
Just wasn't quick enough I guess.  ;)

What I did to get to the elevator is to press the down arrow and then immediately the right arrow and just leave it till he gets to the next room.

I press the down arrow so I'm not in the hand's reach.

There's some bugs with the mini-game, though it is beatable, it's not required to complete SQ2 (and there are no points given for doing so).

A map for the classic version (which is the same as this version) is available at http://www.oldgames.sk/en/game/trolls-tale/download/1091/

Hope that helps.

I guess it's just there for fun, then. I'll pass on the last treasure. Thank you :)

The map on the hint site shows where to get them all but I don't know what treasure i'm looking for or where to find it so I'd have to start from the beginning again and follow the map.

That's important, then? I went right, I couldn't go left due to the robo-masher.

Yeah, the robo-masher is on both sides (I believe it actually curves around and is the same room).  Try going to the left and luring it towards you, then go all the way around to the right and try getting in the escape pod.
