Title: The Secret of the Golden River
Post by: Eva on Mon 05/03/2007 13:11:20
I'm a bit stumped at 58 points, can't find the duck baby or get the canary to come beck with the sparkling thing that she went off to get.

Has anyone else managed to get further?

Edit: I managed to get the sparkling thing, had to go to the waterfall to get it. Now at 68 points.

I'm about the same place as you (67 points) - the sparkly thing has 5 symbols and I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with turtle beach.Ã,  Can't find the other duck either, did you do something with the lotus leaf?Ã,  [\hide]

Finished it! Not that hard just keep going back to the animals to talk and try all inventory items with them.

Have tried getting last item in cupboard in the house but he says it's not needed, haven't seen an arrow nor any amulets.

try again taking everything from the cupboard, you'll need all items. It is not so easy to find the hotspots, though. About amulets: Talk to the animals, help them, go forth and back, you will have to go through a lot of dialogs. When you have finished a task, go and interview everybody again and use inventory items on the animals and persons

Ok, I now have 4 amulets....and I've got to find a turtle....I've tried the magic lotus and think I have to go to an island. My guess is that I should go on the lotus to one of the islands outside town but putting the lotus in the water doesn't work, I've even tried it on the waterfall and the duck pond but nothing.
I'll get som sleep now and maybe tomorrow I can see this wiht fresh eyes and find a solution.

perhaps you should ask the animals and the wizard for instructions first. The dialogues seem to be important for progress. I asked them and then put the glass plate on the riverbed, a bit to the left of the waterfall. Then I put the pendants on the waterfall, the middle one last. Simply "use" the pendants on the white area.

I'm missing one pendant and got the stuff from the magician to apply on one if the items in my inventory - which I did. Now I don't know what to do with this new inventory item.
I also carry a rope which I haven't found any use for.

Edit: I seem to have missed the arrow at the house. Now I have to find a use for the arrow attached to the rope.

Thanks, Sthomannch...I've tried this so many times because that's what I thought I had to do. Suddenly it worked, I can't even say why, I must have been standing on the wrong pixel.

I revived the golden river too  ;D

Read all the hints and tips but I didn't find my stuck place.... Please give me a good hint....... I have tried over and over again

I have lotus, needle, duck toy, large symbol disc, canary, fish and mouse pendant,mouse trap, bottle water, rope with arrow on it, mirror and sword.  Climbed tree but didnt seem to be able to do anything there again either.  I have 95 points
I know I need to find that duck, but I am going around and around..... Used all my inventory items on each one of the people, animals.  A great subtle hint would be appreciated at this time

Well I must be plain thick, 'cos I can't get any further in the game.  I have one amulet which I got from fish, I have talked to all the animals and wizard again, have tried using all things in my inventory and they don't help.  The bird I healed from the poisoned needle keeps walking off screen everytime I speak to it,  which seems to be a bug in the game.  Please someone help
Title: Re: The Secret of the Golden River

I first talked to the bird at the river, used the glass dish on it and went to the resting area to talk to it again. I also talked to the wizard. You have to try and talk to everybody and use the glass dish on every body. Also, talk to the two persons at the market place. The dialog changes in the middle of the game and might be important if you want to continue (of course, they recommend asking the wizard)

I think the game may have a bug.......I show the glass to the canary and it says it will give me a pendant then walks across screen and goes back to sitting on sign.  Everytime I go to fish the amulet the fish game me  is still there yet I have it in my inventory.  But thanks for your help, will try reloading  and try it again

Hi Jane,

It's not a bug, the canary need to go different screen. After the canary left and back to the resting area (after it says it will give you pendant), it won't flying off the screen again.

Yes, it's a bug, i have released the fixed version on 5th March, together with walk speed control.

You have to get the canary pendant first before you get the fish pendant. Do you have any saved game before you get the fish pendant? Do let me know.

Have restarted it and all seems OK now - I have 3 amulets and 95 points, have tried talking to animals over and over and using inventory on them, but can't progress or find baby duck.  Anyone point me in the right direction please

I`m stuck at 142 points.

Spoiler
After putting the 4 pendants on the waterfall, it`s pretty clear that I use put the middle part there also. However, Cedric keeps telling me he can`t find a place to put the pendant. Right now I`m strolling around, talking with everybody, using each and every item on everything but with no clue.
