Woke up Ken, got the hair... but there's no new dialogue options and can't find anything else to interact with. Not sure what to do with the hair, and the remaining inventory items don't seem to be of much help either. Erm... help?

[@Uziel]

@Uziel: When going to the elevator, does the white button show up? if so, the electricity is fixed and you need not worry. I will definitely have a look at this in the revised version.

No, the white button doesn't show up. The only reason I knew what to do, was that I did this sequence on my first playthrough (got to the buggy room), but then got caught out by the De Sade bug. Then d/loaded your latest version of the game, got past the De Sade bug part, then found that I couldn't fix the elevator, the area which was previously clickable (ie. restore powers w/ pliers) was no longer accessible. As Adeel said, it likely is the order of things, but I'm not keen on a third attempt to play through due to bugs. I'll just wait till things are sorted and may pick this up again at a later date.

moloko - I think I've found another bug unfortunately... I've played through the bulk of the game (near-death experience done, etc), went into the electricity room and tried to use the pliers on the switch box. It tells me "best to leave it alone while it still functions". I've looked at it, spoken to it, use the action on it, the fish, etc. All inventory items return the same msg as the pliers....

I sincerely hope I'm wrong... as I know i'm near the end again and don't really fancy a third run through of the game from scratch... (got caught out the first time with the De Sade bug and had to restart).

Thanks Leon, smooth sailing after that. Game completed. I assume the "star, eye and trophy" at the end, are the 3 "trophies" in the game?

It will become obvious if you can manage  ...

Spoiler

  … to lit those candles.

[close]

lol... would you believe I had already lit those candles. One shouldn't play games involving puzzles whilst hung over. I loaded it this morning, and worked it out within 20 seconds. Plus ripped through a lot more of the game. Brilliant game!

But I'm stuck again....

Spoiler

1. Can't work out what to do with the witch? Haven't gotten anywhere at all there.
2. I've placed the cabbage in the machine.. not sure if I need to do anything else with this device?
3. I now have a large cloud... not sure what to do with it? I haven't done anything with the fisherman (other than taking the pants off the line, dying them and given them to the shy alien.
4. I'm not sure what the second grumbly dude wants... happy pills maybe?

[close]

I'm stuck already, and at a perusal of the thread, far earlier than most people...
I've managed to get so far (without reading any hints anywhere) to the puzzle with the holes in the wall. I have the 4 sticks, and looking up at the candles above, I'm guessing it should be obvious as to which sticks go in which holes... but i'm confuzzled by it all... possibly playing an adventure game with good puzzles, the morning after New Year's isn't my most brilliant idea to date?

Thanks slasher! Rocket is now fixed.

My confusion with KT2, was that I hadn't even realised the monitor was broken. I assumed the sliders would fix the screen, then a second puzzle would open the door. I hadn't even looked at the monitor itself to see there was an issue... so didn't even know there was a map for the slider puzzle.

Finished the game and added a comment. Truly a wonderful game slasher. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it, and I sincerely hope that John's adventure will continue!

Thanks for the reply slasher.

Planet KT2:
Spoiler:

Spoiler

You need to work out Planets A, B and C distances from Blue Planet that relate to each coloured slider and move sliders to coloured answer numbers. IE Red Planet (C) states A*2 (A -6 from B =10)) therefore C = 20 (Red slider=20)

[close]

I'm still struggling to work it out... not sure if I missed something obvious in this room. How would you even know it relates to the planets or that you'd need to double planet A? The only way to measure distances would be to compare the space coordinates correct? And they are hard to measure, as getting an accurate read per planet is tricky unless you try to land on them. Plus there are 2 "blue planets", etc. Sorry i'm probably being a nonce on this one.

Planet K955: I'd already thought of that, but couldn't interact with the washing line at all. It responds to the eye icon and mouth icon, but not the action icon? Am I doing something wrong? I hovered all over the place, in case the peg was really small.. but no dice.

Planet ZB59: Sorry, I didn't explain myself well. I'd already passed that puzzle, but stuck on the next puzzle/part (getting thru the glass). Assume I need other planets solved first to get the right tools?

First off, brilliant game Slasher! Really well done in pretty much every regard, and your best game to date in a massive way (and I do like all your previous Elf games, and particularly House de Sade!). I've gone through a good chunk of the game, but have hit a wall and need some help.

Planet KT2:

Spoiler

I've gotten into the alien's ship in the lake. Can't work out what combination to use for the sliders though?

[close]

Planet K955:

Spoiler

I can't seem to win the drinking game. Used antacid, but no dice. Saw the barrel, and figured may have to dilute the drinks.. but couldn't work out how to get the water to use it.

[close]

Planet ZB59:

Spoiler

Can't work out the puzzle in the pyramid. I suspect I need to fix other planets first.

[close]

Planet PZ3:

Spoiler

I'm guessing I need the long pick to get the flower of visions.. but can't work out how to get it.

[close]

Planet PB11:

Spoiler

Can't pickup the flower of visions.. because of the pick? Obviously I can't use the shop till I sort out K955.

[close]

Yeah, I already noticed each room has a key, but...

Spoiler

You can't get anywhere near Danielle's. If you touch Steve's, he just appears and you effectively can't touch it. And Eve won't let you anywhere near hers. Logically, since you need to get through Steve and Dani, I'm guessing that Eve is the first weak link to get a key from, then to swap with Steve's key and then get to Dani. Just can't work out what to do, as anything I do with Eliza or Eve doesn't result in anything. I'll try a bit further.

[close]

edit: And then I realised that if you do things in a certain sequence, you get that extra dialogue with Elisa. Progressing onwards.
2nd edit: Finished the game. What a wonderful adventure! Left a comment on the games page too. Thoroughly enjoyable! Thanks!

Wonderful game which I'm thoroughly enjoying, but I've finally hit a wall.

Spoiler

I'm in the Reaper's cave, and have sent Steve to go looking for Chris. He keeps appearing/disappearing when I touch his key, or leave/enter his room. The Reaper God told me I need to do something with Crystal, but nothing I give her works, and all I can do with any effect is close the curtain and freak out Danielle.

[close]

Help?

Elen - thanks for that last hint. Finished the game, and what a fabulous game it was! Sincere thanks for all your hard work!

Spoiler

where can I find this other thing? I am searching everywhere and cannot pin-point that.

[close]

Splat - there are two things you need to pacify our feathered friend.
The first:

Spoiler

can be purchased from the Pirate shop

[close]

The second:

Spoiler

requires that you reveal Captain Bones first, and then this item can be hung in a convenient place for our parrot friend.

Spoiler

When Annie hears Kode approaching, she hides behind the door so that he can't see her when he enters.   When he goes into the control room to look for her, she can escape.

[close]

Geez... I can't seem to do this. Kode is only in the room for 1 sec. I can stand extremely close to the door, and still not seem to "escape" the room. He turns before I get out, everytime I've left the screen (seemingly through the door) and he spots me and stops me. Is there an arrow that should appear here or just click the cursor on the door? Because of the end dialogue over and over... it's sending me batty.

Gosh! You do need to be quick! I managed to solve all the puzzles... except probably the easiest one knowing me...

Spoiler

I can't work out how to escape. You can't access your inventory once you set the detonation, and the only thing I can simply access at this point is the locked door...

[close]

I'm not quite sure what you mean by talking to the computer.  Where exactly does this lock-up happen?  I'll try to see if I can sort it out.

I clearly wasn't paying close attention the first time, it's not the computer, it's Kode. Once he leaves, there's a hotspot still active in the control room where he was standing, that when clicked will lock up the game everytime.

Stuck again!

Control room:

Spoiler

I've destroyed all the totems, but the second I free the scientists, Kode comes in and kills me. Alternatively if I destroy the control centre, the same occurs. Is there a way to prevent Kode from entering, so I can free the scientists, then use the codes to save them, destroy the centre, and hightail my butt out of there?

[close]

Also... assuming a glitch. If I talk to the computer, the game seems to lock up after the second piece of dialogue from the computer. (I'm on v1.4)

It's funny how one can hide something in plain view - people are so used to seeing web addresses everywhere they don't notice them anymore!

Lol, that's so true! 
I did see the first "extremely obvious" WWW, but I'll go put on my detective hunt and forage around some more. Thanks again Elen.

edit: Oh how ridiculously easy. I did see those right at the beginning, and just forgot about the URL itself, in place of the larger/primary text, which I did make a note of (luckily, it seems).

You said you finshed fantasia?

Yep, finished all areas, except for what I think is the final room.

Temple of the Elements:

Spoiler

Right order, and assuming you have the symbols right, then the only thing remaining is the correct offering for each god. The god of fire would like some fiery oil of course, whilst the god of air wants... well.. air (so nothing). The gods of earth and water want their own offerings, akin to their own elements. Both of which can be found just outside the temple.. near the well. You do need something to carry the water... check the storeroom.

[close]

Maze:

Spoiler

Sounds like you got everything except for the second hourglass. I carefully went through the entire maze and it sounds like the only place you may not have gone is past the big tree. You can go left and right, but also forwards (mind you, I think you had to go left or right, then turn to go forwards around the tree. This is where the hourglass is. After finding it, I went back to the start and redid it in record time before the sands ran out (not sure who necessary this was).

[close]

Thanks Monochrome Molly! Can't believe I missed that... looked everywhere except there. I have all the required items for the next room, but utterly no clue about the required address....

Splat44:
Shapechanging puzzle:

Spoiler

Turn around from the puzzle, and you'll find the last clue in the most obvious place! I missed it myself at first. Once you have all four clues, it's a simple method of matching the remaining three shapes - by clicking the silver shape buttons (since the first column cannot be altered), to match the clues. Problem solved! If you still haven't found the three clues I listed, make sure all windows are down - which is all your need the 3 throw switches for.

[close]

Black Manor Office:

Spoiler

I'm guessing you haven't started this area yet? The drawer does indeed have a hotspot in the top right corner, which is required to be pressed to allow you to do something else in the drawer. Something critical in allowing you to progress further in this area.

[close]

lol, I can't believe I missed that. I scoured the office looking for hotspots, and went over that 10 times.

One last question (possibly?) on the globes:

Spoiler

Firsty I assumed (thinking I was clever), that the colours correlated to the order of the colours at the base of the three number signposts around the island. Does the map in the globe room hint as to the order of the globes? I've mapped out the globes in the "map" order, and no dice. Also tried to do the colors outside, only realising that not all colours are shown, some of duplicated. Then thought about the pillars outside the room, but the colours don't seem to be in an obvious pattern.

[close]

Apologise elen! I hate asking for so many hints!
Thanks for your hints on Fantasia too and the maze too. All completed.

Black Dog - Office: I've searched high and low, and other than where I found the second half of the amulet, I can't find anywhere else for the globe. Help?
