Finally

Spoiler

got the witch to speak to me...thanks. Now I have a list of ingredients to give her, I can't retrieve the egg from the cliff, and I can't give her the ingredients one at a time.

[close]

Any thoughts?

This one's tricky, because there are no in-game hints. I solved it by chance, and it's not very logical. I can't even think of a good hint for you without giving out the puzzle, so read on at your own risk

Spoiler

There is a hole on the ground at the front yard. You need to pour water down it to get a trade item you need in order to advance.

[close]

By the way,

Spoiler

does the construction of the key have anything to do with the machine in the monk's picture?

[close]

I think it's not directly related, but I'm still stuck right before that point so I can't really say. I'd rather not discuss my theories about that puzzle, yet, as it seems you still have a bit to discover before you reach that point.

Argh... stuck again.

Spoiler

Now I'm at the bar. I checked the motel's reception, but I can't get past the lady. I have an egg, the knife, the ID card, the plant's shell, and the business card.
It's seems I've exhausted all dialog options, and nobody wants anything from me. I've also read the expired certificate on the wall, but that hasn't opened any leads so far.

I presume I'm missing out some area. Any hints?

[close]

i'm not sure what to do? i'm going around in circles.

Spoiler

i've talked to the two portraits. and a few others. i have a rock, salt, potato, porn magazine  :o, sleeping pills, whistle.

[close]

Spoiler

Pay attention to what the gardner wants... you have something he'll accept.

By the way, do you really have sleeping pills, or is it aspirin?

[close]

I'm stuck too... I have no idea

Spoiler

how to give the fisherman a water nymph(?) or what to give the witch to make her happy...

[close]

Any ideas?

Spoiler

There is only one item that the witch will accept from you. If you haven't met the painting of the little boy, then you still need to complete other tasks first; if you have, then you are on the right track. He can get something for you that will please the witch.

[close]

i did exactly what you said. 

Spoiler

1st number was the column, 2nd the row. so, |22:5| means you have to go down to row 5, and count all the way accross to the 22nd number.

[close]

Funny, I arrive to

Spoiler

7 9 2 9 5 4 2 2

[close]

, which doesn't work.

yes, the vent puzzle? help!

I still haven't solved it (and I'm getting frustrated), but I have noticed the following:

Spoiler

The guard hates oil or its smell. Just show him the oily rag to see.

[close]

More hints:

Spoiler

You can throw the oily rag inside the complex through a gap in the staff entrance.

[close]

Spoiler

I presume you can vent the oil and scare the guard away or something along those lines, but I'm already tired of trying different combinations to no avail.

[close]

Do share. I simply haven't the patience for these puzzles anymore...

Spoiler

2 9 0 9 7 6 2 6

[close]

Thanks, but how did you get it? My suggested method yields 3 correct digits out of 8, which probabilistically seems a high match rate to make me think I was completely off track.

Oh well, I've

Spoiler

managed to get out of the planet, but now I can't find out how and where to land next.

[close]

Spoiler

i'm stuck at the same place. i think it has someting to do with the mask code when you look at the screen and the numbers on the back of your id?

[close]

Spoiler

I'm fairly sure that each pair in the mask indicates a "coordinate" in the digits on the back of your ID. The first number in the tuple indicates the column and the second one the row (see, there are only six rows). However, I haven't been able to try this out, as I also haven't managed to get the starting lever unstuck.

[close]

I'm having trouble combining items in the inventory and maybe because of that I'm completely stuck:

Spoiler

I don't seem to be able to assemble the key. I have the dagger, two key pieces: ring and a jagged bit (are there more?), a topaz, an amethyst, the monk's bag and a water sprayer. I can trade for the watering can, salt, fern and a potato (the last two, I've used already, but it's possible to pick them up again).
I still haven't been able to open the trunk in the dungeon, I haven't opened the drawer in the safe room and I haven't opened the ice cold door. I presume I need the key for one of the latter two.

[close]

Thanks!

I'm stuck here, too. Is anybody reading? The mine shaft seems pointless, but I guess it has to do with the tool being seemingly unusable.

Maybe it's fixed in version 1.0.1, which was never uploaded "tomorrow" as the game description in the adventuregamestudio.co.uk game entry advertises.

how do you have 1D?

You only have movement in one dimension. Say, from left to right. That said, there's one screen in 2D in this game.

Thanks, but how

Spoiler

do I get the second silver ring? I have tried to ask "Miss" again, and I've talked to all the other people, including the tree

[close]

Read carefully the list of items that I was carrying around... don't you notice something weird?

Just finished the game. Found two of the possible three endings, but there should be a third, so...

Spoiler

any ideas about how to get the revolver without paying with the coin - it's made of silver and could be used for making a second bullet which could be used for shooting the mysterios "Miss". I don't know why I want to do this, but I think it would help. I tried paying with the pillow, but he just took it without giving me the gun.

[close]

See the previous exchange between nihilyst and me on this same thread for hints.

blashyrkh:
That's a pretty silly puzzle, so I'll help myself.

solution

Spoiler

Use the staff on the well, take the stone and crush the kings.

[close]

Wow, that WAS a quick reply! Thanks for the hint, I missed that detail.

Spoiler

And it also explains why I was getting "I already have the stone" when using other objects on the well... I just didn't think of using the staff.

[close]

Now I've finished it (only two endings, I'm afraid), but I'm hungry for knowledge. Would you give some insight on what really is going on?

I found an important bug (among a bunch of minor ones that don't affect the game play that much):

Savegames can only be loaded from the first savegame slot, the other "L" buttons are unresponsive.

I worked around this by copying the savegame that I wanted to load to agssave.001 and then loading it from the first slot.

Edited to expand:
I liked the game a lot, in spite of the bugs. As a German student, I would have loved to read the dialogues in your language (hey, I was able to figure out that you were German just from reading them :-) ). Please consider creating translation packs in your mother tongue for your future games, if you have the time, of course.

Thanks a lot!

Hi all,

I'm stuck close to the end of the game (or so it seems):

Spoiler

I have the following items:
diary, gun, staff, two white kings and two black ones, a pearl necklace, a hook, a chunk of coal, two silver rings and the feather (down).

I have tried everything I can think of, and I still don't get the fourth quest. I think I'm supposed to crush the chess kings to a powder, but I can't figure out how.

[close]

Any hints will be very appreciated.

Hi there! Where did you download it from? I've been trying to find it for a long time!

Ever tried the search engine on this website? The game's entry is available on this very same site. Although the download link provided there is indeed broken, the home page link brings you to the correct place.

Please use private messages to ask off-topic questions. Now that we are off-topic, let me add that Windows XP SP1+ users won't be able to play the game's videos unless they have installed the proprietary Indeo codecs. These codecs used to be bundled with Windows, but not anymore. The game works fine, though.

Hi all,

I got stuck while playing this nice game.

Spoiler

Any hints or help will be very appreciated.

When you look at the clock what time does it look like it is?  Maybe 5 minutes to something!

Yes, that was it. Thanks!

Spoiler

I thought the clock was in a 24-division time system instead of the regular 12/60 in our world.

[close]

1.

Spoiler

you need to access the underwater cave through the aquarium and find something sharp

[close]

3.

Spoiler

remember the time if you get locked out!

[close]

I had already made it into the aquarium, but I can't beat the puzzle down there. I have absolutely no clue as to the origin of the clues.

Spoiler

I also thought it had to do with the clock in the jetty, but, just as Mordy, I don't seem to be able to read those clocks properly.

[close]

Any hints?

That's a tricky one...

Spoiler

How do you open the glass case once you've got unlimited access to it? Mordy doesn't want to open it with his hands, and none of the items I have seem to open it.

[close]

I'm also just walking in circles...
