Title: Minifeg:The Search
Post by: Kitty Trouble on Wed 01/10/2014 12:54:05
Spoiler
Okay, so I met the prince, and met the wizard...and found out the wizard wanted future food. I potentially made the mistake of returning the sword. Then I used the ticket to get back home. All I have is the ticket to get back home, the sword and the wood plank. Did I ruin my game save or is there a way to get back to the wizard? Anyways, what should I have done if I did mess up? Thanks..

Uhm... yes, you found a bug, I'm afraid. :(
I recommend everyone to do at least a new save at the start of every new time line.

Solution to the bug:
Spoiler

Do not deliver the sword!
I'll correct this it in version 1.1. By either giving the player a new item, or making it possible to get the sword again.
[close]

Spoiler

I'm afraid I did not predict the possibility of not being able to return to this time line.
Due to the fact that I kept forgetting to deliver the sword... (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/Smileys/AGS/smiley16_shy.png)
Hint 1: In the castle stairs, there's a cup.
Hint 2:
Spoiler

You need to look in the cup. ;)

Hint 1:
Spoiler

Wall decoration?
[close]

Hint 2:
Spoiler

Remember a nail on the wall?
[close]

Hint 3 - Solution:
Spoiler

You need to return home, and use the nail on the wall to hang it.
If you don't know how to return home, then you are missing an item. ;)

I'm stuck. I really have no idea what comes next.

Spoiler
I met the hen man and been to the bar but I don't see anything that I can do in that world. I see from previous posts that there are two photos somewhere that I can put on the plank. Where would I find those?

In inventory I have the stub, plank, cutlass, tooth, egg.

Thank you

I tried that first, as it seems like the logical step. I tried both giving it to her and I tried talking to her but there are no new options. What am I missing?

Spoiler
is that an option when speaking to Mary? If so, no, it's not there. Just "how's business" and "the guy outside". Do I need to do anything else other than retrieve the egg to get that option?

What I mean is that I always check every hotspot that I notice on every room. If I receive a message saying that there's nothing interesting there then I am not likely to do it again later unless there is a logical reason to do so. When I was playing I didn't think of reason to check again so Tabata's hint was most helpful. :)

It's dead end bug, I'm afraid. But check here and see if it helps:
Spoiler

Oh oh... if you already assembled the first picture before getting the 2nd, you just stumbled into a dead end bug. Tabata has reported the bug to me yesterday, but I have not had time to update it on the site yet.

If you don't have a save before assembling the picture, try saving and installing v1.2 over the current version you have. I can't guarantee that the save will work (worked for me when I fixed this) though.
Give it a try:

Are you sure you explored the Pirate ship throughly? ;)

Hint 2:

If you still stuck at this point, then might I point out that there's a door opened to the left, under the stairs, on the Pirate ship... 8-)

Hint 3:

I'm pretty sure you honestly don't need this tip at this point, but... there's something you can take from the captain's cabin... (nod)
