A Tale of Betrayal

Yvonne · Thu 30/09/2004 10:45:48

I am stuck - it seems like others as well - in the graveyard. I've noticed Tom's remarks that R. and J. are mentioned in more than one place... I can't discover any hidden hotspots, and to be honest I am already tired of random clicking.
It is perhaps early for a walkthrough, but please can't you give a direction how to proceed.

Hi Yvonne,

Assuming that the email you entered when you posted is correct (y1101@lycos.com), I've sent you an email with the solution

I'm glad you played the game 'till the end.

Just a small comment, why do I hear people saying they are STUCk! you are not stuck, you just didn't get to the happy end, still you did actually finish the game

so you are not stuck, you just didn't get to the happy end.

Thanks again for your interest in the game, I hope you liked it.

Tnanks! For the PM, and for the encouraging words!

Use the sticky mirror with the window. The cristall ball needs light to work and the mirror will reflect the light from the window to the ball

Have you tried to pick up the shovel! If not then pick it up and use it for digging out other graves!-Ã,Â If you have already did that then read next ...

Spoiler

In each one of the graves you'll find some important object or fact that you can use in order to let the Sultan know that someone will try to kill him soon.

Start out by diggin Marlyin Monroe grave, you'll notice that the player will say that it is hot -of course

-, now since you need the egg to hatch to be able to send a message with the dragon to the king, put the egg into her grave, the egg withh hatch! Now in your inventory look at the Dragon and this will tell you what you need to be doing in order to prepare the message to the Sultan.

I hope that heloed,

I just finished the game. I got the happy ending!

Goot · Fri 01/10/2004 05:43:48

How did you do it? I've been trying for ages.

Spoiler

I thought maybe when it said Tom was overlooking the whole place he was up on that ledge where you start off after teleporting, and the map was somewhere around there but I couldn't seem to find it. I checked for hidden hotspots everywhere. Do the hidden hotspots respond to all modes used on them? Also, if you try to do something to the bottom of the graveyard screen, the verb coin thing doesn't pop up. Is this a bug or something?

Goot,

Spoiler

I want to congratulate you for being the closest one to finding the happy end on your own

Check your PM.

Try walking Ali to the right bottom corner of the screen to get to the next map.

(Though you've probably figured it out now).

SHE DEVIL · Fri 01/10/2004 21:47:09

splat44,

Well, you should deal with the Rope and Barrel first ... That's why Act I is called "Get Off My Back ...", here is how:

Spoiler

If you noticed there is a scratch in the upper metal stripe, now make sure that you are facing the door to the side -so that your hand is close to the scratch- and use the Ring with the Barrel. -try it when you are facing the left side of the screen and you'll get a message saying you can't-

After scratching the metal stripe, make sure that you are facing the broken mirror and then Interact with the rope! -Hold your mouse over the rope and then click the hand icon- ...

Besides when trying to reach something that you can't reach and the game tells you "I can't reach that!" then it's not a program error.

If you get stuck again let me know!

SHE DEVIL,

Here is how you do it:

Spoiler

After making the scratch with the ring you need to be facing the broken mirror in the back of the room so that the rope is exactly centered at the scratch, an easy appoach for doing so -facing the mirror- is by TALKING to the broken mirror, as doing so will make the hero face the back of the room. Then use the hand icon with the ROPE ...

Let me know if that didn't work, or if you got stuck again!

SHE DEVIL · Fri 01/10/2004 22:39:10

Thank you so much !!

SHE DEVIL · Sat 02/10/2004 01:32:59

I've tried both maps and I still don't get the happy ending,or does he get saved?

AGS-GD · Sat 02/10/2004 08:30:38

SHE DEVIL Check your PM, I've sent you the solution to the happy end!

I think Goot was the only one that almost got to the happy end on his own

So congratulations ... Maybe next week I'll be making a walkthru for the game (Myabe in UHS format as well as text); the walkthru will include the solution to get to the happy end.

SHE DEVIL · Sat 02/10/2004 08:54:22

Thank you for the PM, that was so nice of you. J.
