Talons of terror

Almost finished it

Spoiler

have 240/250 points, found Mingo and use the totem. Mingo is more experienced, so I have to distract him. Don't know how. Have totem (combined with talon = pulsing totem), gun, ID badge, bolt cutter, cell phone and only little time to act. Used almost anything on anything.

To distract him,

shoot the tree behind him.

Strange, tried it in vain...

sthomannch · Wed 08/04/2009 20:38:22

Nay, no chance, even with free hands :-(

Leon · Wed 08/04/2009 21:02:25

Ah!

Spoiler

Maybe use the totem again?

Wow, someone is playing my game

Yes, what Leon said is true. To finish that sequence you must:

Spoiler

Use the totem, find out Mingo is stronger. Shoot the tree to distract him, then re-use the totem without him countering you.

Hope you like the game!

Spoiler

Used the totem already (obvious), read the message that Mingo was stronger, tried to shoot at different possible targets, but got the message that I couldn't do that, then our was swept away. I don't know how many times I restored the game. Obviously I don't find the correct hotspot / target. I think I searched through the whole scene with the gun cursor ("Tree by hardware store", "Hardware store", "Ivy covered wall", "Tree", "Ken", "Mingo", "Eagle Spirit", "Arsay"). Leon refers to the tree by the hardware store.

Solved

Spoiler

The problem was that I opened the inventory screen and grabbed the gun. When I accidentally moved the cursor to the upper edge of the screen, I saw the gun icon. So there are different uses : throw the gun or shoot :-)

More info:

Spoiler

It is on the right side of your screen. It is called "Tree By Hardware Store". It is the same tree where if you look at it, it makes fun saying that it is abnormally wide, and would be easy to shoot or something.

If you need more help, click the link below to view a screenshot I took from the AGS editor of that screen. I circled what you need. I didn't want to show it in the page because it is a bit of a spoiler.

Thanks,

LOL yeah, that would do it.

In fact, if you click the "Use" button in the inventory on the gun, I yell at you for doing so lol. That IS why I put the gun button on the GUI at the top

The yelling right after the start of the game :-)

I enjoyed your game, very interesting and nicely done.

Looking forward to the next one.

I am on day 2 and i have spoken to the hardware store owner. He keeps telling me to leave. What do I do, and i also cant get guess the jellybean jar.

Leon · Thu 09/04/2009 09:21:18

Well...... if the owner asks you to leave... be kind and leave

About the jar... oooppss.... you might want to restore the game and enter the store again.

My conclusion: pay more attention to the shopkeeper.

NOTE: I only now realise that you only have one chance to get to know the number of beans.

evilDMT · Thu 09/04/2009 10:14:15

So there is a deadend in the game.. sigh.. well i did leave of course, but theres nothing for me to continue on.

edit: got the jellybeans and left when he asked me to leave. but i still have no idea what to do.

Leon · Thu 09/04/2009 10:55:43

Not sure what you've done already. But have you really tried with the shopkeeper?

Spoiler

Did you show your badge to him and kept questioning about the thunderbird? If so, walk back to your car and the story will continue....

[close]

Advice: pay attention to dialogs... they contain crucial information to continue (not only at the shop). About the beans... you're right. But it wouldn't be much of a puzzle if the shopkeeper kept telling you the right number, would it?

And, you can always really try to guess the right number. Or start with 1, then 2 etc.

Spoiler

It would only take you 412 attempts... :-)

The next part is the code at the power plant, for some unknown reason before it didn't progress the story as i thought. anyway, i've been taking close notice of the dialogues but nothing about giving the clue for the code. i also went back to the farm to see if there was any clues there, but to no avail nothing.

Leon · Thu 09/04/2009 11:43:09

It's a keypad that's used regularly. So the keys must give the clue but not straight away...

Spoiler

The solution for this can be found at the police station...

I am now hunting for Mingo, I've spoken to everyone. But theres no one new hanging around the sioux community. any ideas?

Leon · Fri 10/04/2009 09:06:17

Did you find out about the thunderbird already? And the powers that Mingo has?
What's in your inventory at the moment?

Alusa · Fri 10/04/2009 18:48:54
