Title: Treasured Medallion HELP needed
Post by: LindaHya on Sat 20/03/2010 00:59:05
I have only finished the very first section i.e. the ocean.
I've just started the second section - the City ~ but ham stuck so I looked at the walkthrough.
It reads :- "Starts at beach.  Walk as far left as possible and talk to the fairy etc., etc.".

But you can only walk 1 or maybe 2 'rooms' to the left and talk to some  guy serving in a fishing accessories kiosk.  No fairy.
Also the appropriate map indicates -----
End pier
Bait Shop
Top of pier

Please clarify and tell me exactly what to do!
TIA

The section of the walk-thru that you are looking at refers to an island you will visit later in the game.  Make sure you are looking at the section that refers to the city. 

If you can't find it, tell me exactly where you are stuck so I can point you in the right direction...

Hey --- VERY many thanks amanta4ray.
I can't explain this but when I looked at the Walkthrough it listed all the sections in numerical order but for some weird reason it SKIPPED section 2.
Ater your help I looked more carefully and noticed for the 1st time that after section 1 came section 3a. When I looked further I saw that section 2 was right at the end.

That is the section that I NEED - so thanks again.

BTW - can I contact you more personally/durectly when I get stuck again as I imagine I will with this excellent and apparently very long freeware game ?

It's no problem....I don't mind helping at all.  I am also glad that you have enjoyed the game so far.  

I'm on the internet all the time, so any time you post I'll be able to get it pretty quickly.


            All the best....Anne

I have a feeling Anne, that amongst your other great talents, you like Gilbert and Sullivan - at least"the "Yeomen of the Guard".

Thank-you very much for your kind words, but I have not had the pleasure to enjoy those works.  My tastes run more to the horror genre than anything else.    As far as talent goes...if you could call it that....I just wing it and hope for the best. 

I am really pleased that you like the game.  It was based on a novel that I had started and somehow found it's way into a game.

             All the best,
                      Anne

Our tastes differ to some extent.  I'm notparticularly thrilled with the so called horror games.  I play them but am generally underwhelmed. I generally prefer other narratives.  One of the troubles with most of the 'pure' hoprror games is that there is actually very little story - most seem to rely on so called shocking sounds and sights - and  I LIKE a good story - amongst other things.
I often read on various Forums how such & such a horror game caused a player to nearly jump off their seat, or be frightened to turn the room light low or off - I have even read that one player claimed that she almost peed herself with fright.
I must be missing something since I hardly appreciate what these folk are talking about.

The woman busker outside a restaurant near to the beginning of the game (just before you get to Mr. Bill's) is playing a melody (without the brilliant words)  from the famous Gilbert & Sullivan Light Comic Opera "The Yeoman of the Guard".
The name of the song is  "I have a song to sing -  O ".
