Title: The Strange Planet
Post by: ida on Fri 28/02/2003 16:36:43
I am stuck down in the caves, in the tube where the keypad is. Can anyone please tell me if there are any clues as to what the code is? Thanks.

I stuck at the absolute beginning of the game - so I must be doing something wrong. How can I leave the first room? I can' interact with the ship, I tried to go left but Sam doesn't go anywhere!?
Help!

Well, go right. Move your mouse to the end of the screen and click. You may need to set the mode to Walk (with the right mouse button or Ctrl-Z).

I'm stuck in a cave (I fell thru a hole in the desert). I have a skull, a laser gun, a stick and fishfood. What do I do now?
I think I tried those objects everywhere (in the 2 rooms of the cave)...
Help!

You should have a rope. Then in the first room use the rope over the cave in from of you (not in front of the player character). This should work.

I have;
Spoiler
fishfood, 2 pots of water, rope and card 2. I did have a skull that I picked up from the crack in the sand but it's gone from my inventory!  :(
I know I'm meant to call the fish but I can't with what I have and I've tried everything
[close]
- where do I get the stick and laser gun from? Do I need them? What am I meant to do now?  ???

You definitely need that skull. It's the reason you're stuck. Maybe it is a bug in the game that caused it to disappear.

The 4th box is there with all the rest of the boxes. Keep looking. You will only need one of the boxes, though. (Er, it might actually be the 4th... I can't remember.)

How do I get the 4th box - I've talked, interacted with and used all inventory items on all the other boxes and - nothing happens. Please give me a hint.

Spoiler
I had skull, rope, fish food, card 2, and have just been given stick and stun gun.  Was told to call fish out - didn't actually see fish but combined fish food with stick and now have stick combined with crystal - what the heck am I supposed to do next?

You should use
Spoiler
stick with crystal - to get you past the monster at the cave entrance - just show it to him.

Post by: jane on Mon 01/12/2003 17:35:45
I thought thats what I should do and have tried that - everytime I use stick and crystal at entrance monster appears and he jumps all over the place.  I have now gone back to Lili and he is finally talking to me ( he wouldn't talk before)- guess there maybe some bugs in this game  :-\

Post by: Kediri on Mon 01/12/2003 18:15:35
I think it's a little buggy - I completed the game though!  8) For anyone else who has problems picking up all the boxes
Spoiler
although you only need the 4th
[close]
- you have to restart from the beginning.  ;)
Also if you save you can't get back to an earlier save.  :-\

Spoiler
I used the fish food with the stick by one of the lakes
[close]

I found the game too buggy and gave up :-\

Post by: Kediri on Tue 02/12/2003 12:17:10
I kept thinking that I'd picked stuff up and lost it - then I realised there is a scoll up or down on the side of the inventory! Can't tell you how many times I restarted the game before I noticed that  :-[

porchbeast;
To call the fish
Spoiler
you need to use something "old" to attract the fish
[close]
The stick doesn't work with the fish food!
Still not certain which item to use;
Spoiler
Call the fish using the skull, make sure you picked it up near the entrance to the crack in the sand* before you met the hermit- then give it the fish food - then it will give you the crystal
[close]
Then use the stick with the item just received!
*
Spoiler
did you fall through the crack in the sand and pick up 2 items there?
[close]

jane;
I can give you more hints if you do want to finish the game - don't know about you but I hate it when a game beats me - bugs or fiendishly clever game creator  :-\
