Pirates Life Dizzy (HELP THREAD)

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Stuck already on 6 collectables.

Have sugar cane, empty bottle, bellows, cutting snips (used once).
Can't seem to get anywhere different now and only place is the combination password, dunno if that is much later in game or i'm supposed to have worked that out.

[delta]

only place is the combination password, dunno if that is much later in game or i'm supposed to have worked that out.

you can discover it at the point you're up to. ;)

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

you can discover it at the point you're up to. ;)

Ok, cheers, least I know I have to find to continue, tried 'Pirates' but didn't work lol.

EDITS:- Ooo I got it, got entry

All these sounds effects are really cool !!

[Colin]

Ok, cheers, least I know I have to find to continue, tried 'Pirates' but didn't work lol.

that would be too easy! LOL!!

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

that would be too easy! LOL!!

True it would have been :v2_dizzy_biggrin:

[Ghostface]

Sorry if im being dumb here but how in the hell does the Tree Root and Match sort themselves??

[Colin]

I suggest you try a bit of beachcombing!

[Spooky3]

any hints on that password?

[Ghostface]

Sorted out the beach combing.. i love how the lantern works.. Absolutely Brilliant,you can see ALOT of hard work and effort has gone into this game!! i will be playing this all week and beyond at this point!

I got stuck in the water after coming to a stop on the decks,made it out once but not twice,isnt there an Aqua lung, or Scuba Gear anywhere?

[Adz.M]

Spooky: You may want to take a look around for any 7 letter words.

Ghostface: You will come across the Aqualung a bit later.

:)

[Ghostface]

Thats good then, I have been underwater and came across some sort of air bubble,but you cant get very far..

my faourite bit though is the lantern in the mines and the mines themselves.. brilliant game making.. and when you die and the man kicks you in the grave its funny!! All new things i love in a Dizzy game.. and the puzzles are baffling as ever!! which is good for the challenge!!

[Colin]

that air bubble will refill your air, so will the air pocket cave. just don't hang about getting back up the ladder

[delta]

I'm quite stuck now. I have 16 pieces of eight and 18 items!

[Meph]

what do we do with this 'time box' ? says I've found 0 collectibles.. what are the collectibles?

did the password OK :dizzy_wink:

Anyway got tones of items, and been exploring all over the place.. I've got to now gather all by bits and bobs and make a list of jobs i need to do.

[Colin]

the time box will eventually show you the answer of how you get back home

[Ghostface]

Ok, ive been on a while now, thank god you can buy food to replenish health!!

I have.... Fluffy Cat,Cool Rabbit,Flint Striker,Bug Repellent,Daisy's Scuba Gear,Padlock Key,Sugar Cane,Candle,Steam Bent Wooden Plank,Clean Bowl,Blunt Dagger,Empty Bottle,Cutting Snips,Old Hatchet,

I have met and seen the equivalents of Dozy,Grand Dizzy,Dylan,seen Whiskey the Horse,obviously the hotel man,the hogs head landlord,the man in hogs head,the pirate under the docks fishing,the pirate near to Dozy,who Dozy was meant to take off shift.. confused now though,all this stuff and cant think what to do with it..

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Stuck now with Blue & Brown Bunny, Fluffy White Cat, Blunt Dagger, Clean Bowl, Empty Bottle, Scissors, Old Hatchet, Battered Suitcase, Sugar Cane, Cutting Snips (used twice)

28 Collectables (Pieces of Eight)

[quiggie]

looking forward to seeing what some of these crazy items do :v2_dizzy_lol:

[Colin]

I take it no one has ridden the mine cart yet? the brake shoe is in a very secret place. somewhere that doesn't seem to go anywhere.:p

[Spooky3]

no idee about the password...i think this is my next on to do list.

[Colin]

you will not find the password outside.

food is limited! you can only buy 10.

[quiggie]

I take it no one has ridden the mine cart yet? the brake shoe is in a very secret place. somewhere that doesn't seem to go anywhere.:p

thought that was very cryptic - but jumped around and got lucky yeeeeeeeeeeeeha

[rocknic]

you will not find the password . . . . .



This is just making it more difficult for me! I have tried so much and looked everywhere I am sure! :v2_dizzy_mad:

Regardless this is a fantastic effort and the game so far for me has been very enjoyable and I am very surprised to stumble upon this community of Dizzy fans and programmers!!!!!

So thankyou for the game :tup:

[Spooky3]

please send me some clue about that password....it the password the first thing u have to find once u are out of the dark cave

[Colin]

You will find it in the hotel

[Spooky3]

[rocknic]

You will find it in the . . .

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Thought had to be a purpose for that ladder but that was a bit sneakily hidden lol, been on the cart ride now.

Having played that on Fantastic Dizzy & had to have many attempts to capture all the collectables etc by getting the correct route can I check how many pieces of eight there are in that section, I managed to
get 4.

Up to 40 in total now, also if you can use to buy food does that mean you may not need all ?

[Colin]

if you need to buy all 10 food, you need to find them all.

there are 5 on the tracks

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

if you need to buy all 10 food, you need to find them all.

there are 5 on the tracks

Thanks Colin, ok so one more on the tracks somewhere.

Fired those 2 rabbits from that super cannon (cool lol) but didn't owt other than indicate need to be lighter, I assume I have to buy the rabbit costume ?

[chlodnik229]

Thanks Colin, ok so one more on the tracks somewhere.

Yes;d

I have:

I think you are at the point I was, that is if you haven't been in the mine, check access to the rocky areas very near the waterfall.

I've been keeping all the items under the waterfall as a storage point.

[delta]

ladder? what ladder? Every ladder I've seen has a purpose...

[chlodnik229]

Me too ;d

LOL, i have just found the hidden room ;d

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

ladder? what ladder? Every ladder I've seen has a purpose...

Yes hence my comment, at first access you may not achieve owt, have to look further, hidden room.

[delta]

Yes hence my comment, at first access you may not achieve owt, have to look further, hidden room.

yes... I got it.

I was going to say that I'm completely stuck, but that key that the ooh ah man gives you was very very very well camouflaged against the spear...

[delta]

I have 25 pieces of eight, and full permission to ride! :)

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

I have 25 pieces of eight, and full permission to ride! :)

Excellent, opens up a few more things to do from there.

I have 21 pieces of eight now, spent 20.

[delta]

hey, if I have full permission to ride, why can't I get the boatman from the position near the castle?

If I have to go the mine ride way every time, I'll be seriously unamused.... :v2_dizzy_mad:

[Spooky3]

delta can u give me some hints on what to do next

[delta]

quite simply, no.

you're further than me.

[Spooky3]

k 10x

[quiggie]

i'm feeling very sea sick - anyone else feeling the same? off to try find that ladder - do you guys mean the room where the breakpad is? :hitwall:

[quiggie]

from where i've been jamie i think there's gonna be a shortcut - hopes!

I couldn't get to ride from there either although you can get to the boatman from one of the other areas he docks at going through the cave complex I think so you don't always have to ride the cart (although I have a few times).

I've got to the area with the devil & I can't find a way out :v2_dizzy_confused2:

[frogandhat]

I jst rode the cart, and it flew almost all the way! dont know how, first time it worked fine and i was on the tracks, second time after a couple of screens i must have been flying as i was off the tracks! I dont seem to be having much luck with this game, its great and I am enjoying it a lot, but i have stumbled upon 3 bugs :(

I have now managed to capture the Love Bug, but didnt have the jar it went in ?????
EDIT - now got the jar!!!

By the way, how do I know my health? I can hear it depleting when i touch nasties, but cant see anythig change on the HUD?

The heart monitor on the HUD goes down on the bar, you may have to look closely but it does go down.

Also when your riding the cart in the HUD shows you progress on how far to completing the ride.

Is anyone using the purple crystal portal as a quick way of getting back instead of going through where you blew entry, it's a great shortcut (saves going up through the mine every time).

I am well and truly trapped in the Devil area, can't find a way out ?

[delta]

where?

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

where?

I think one of them is when you get past the bear, the other by the church ?

[delta]

bear?

[quiggie]

yeah i'm using the portal - you don't need to get pas the bear to use it guys - is there gonna be a shortcut over to the island - the way i think its going there will be! :confused:

[frogandhat]

Yes, saw the cart ride progress, but I was not on the rails, so couldnt move, just sat back and waited till I got to the end

The heart doesnt do anything for me until you die and it goes grey and broken

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

yeah i'm using the portal - you don't need to get pas the bear to use it guys - is there gonna be a shortcut over to the island - the way i think its going there will be! :confused:

Sorry Quiggie I meant getting past the bear gives you another access point to the river, another docking point.

Yes that portal you can access anytime.

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

bear?

You get to the bear using the green portal as i'm calling them (green crystal in the glowing caves) but you won't beable to get past for awhile yet.

[chlodnik229]

I'm in hell ;d I don't know what to do, because the devil doesn't want my soul;/

[frogandhat]

I found the 'purple portal' to collect the suitcase, but didnt go down as there doesnt appear to be a way back? you cant jump from the 'sticky mud' up to that ledge - thought I might put the boulder underneath to climb on, but that didnt work.

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Well i am stuck .I have bug :repelent(mosquito),big cool blue rabbit,scuba(used),padlook key,blunt dager,flint striker(with the dinamite?) ,fuse cord(with the dinamite),empty bottle,sugat cane,steam ,pistol,hachet,bowl,cuting snipes(used once),flint striker,emeral,suitecaise,brown rabbit....and i am left with these puzzle:

-need something 4 graddizy ...a blacket?(maybe from dozy)
-wake up dozy...(maybe i need to lit the fire next to him but i don't have any flint)
-compas for the fishing pirate
-find a dinamite
-open the door next to the ship
-do something with the crypt
-get flint
-help the guy that had the brown rabbit next to him
-help pirate dizzy
-give something to the shop guy to get the pirate uniform(,denzil can help but what summat?)
-feed the horse
-give something to the dezil cook
-open door in the mine

-get honey for the bear( i found the honey but need some kind of jar?)
-get locket of hair
-get rest of dress
-get something for the guy on sugar plantation(sugar cane?)
What should i focus next...

Think you need to get the dynamite which is in one of the huts in the mine to progress but not sure you have the item to get to in to it. Keys don't work but use of the another item which you can *clue* fire from will. Can't remember now how you acquire it.

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

I found the 'purple portal' to collect the suitcase, but didnt go down as there doesnt appear to be a way back? you cant jump from the 'sticky mud' up to that ledge - thought I might put the boulder underneath to climb on, but that didnt work.

The purple portal can only be used one way, to come out off the glowing cave complex, as you say you can't reach the ledge to go in.

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

I'm in hell ;d I don't know what to do, because the devil doesn't want my soul;/

Oh your at the same point as me now, i'm stuck there too (trapped).

EDITS:-
Just had an idea though (cos the only thing we got is the bones).

Yep, escaped, clever that in where you come out.

[chlodnik229]

I gared;d

Anyway, brilliant game, cheers!!!

[rocknic]

I have tried to "lalala" my way through the replies :)

I was getting a little lost in the mine last night, so this morning I made a map for myself, thought I would share.

Rocknic's mine map v1: CLICK ME. (http://www.lawrencearnold.com/pictures/dizzy/mine_pt1.jpg)

Beware it is a 2.2meg jpg, but I hope it is of use to someone. :dizzy_smile:

Edit, now I can try all combos of items to get me moving on, and I will expand the map when I find out more.

Edit, and just looking at it I have missed out some! :)
V1.1 to follow soon.

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

Well i am stuck .I have: bug repelent(mosquitos),-get something for the guy on sugar plantation(sugar cane?)Looks like you already know what to do here and you already have the item to free the guy trapped next to the brown rabbit.

Im stuck now i seem to have lost my boots! I had them and did what i had to do in the jail cell and then discovered i didnt have them anymore. Dont think i can get into that other room without them and i dont really know what else to do.

The only items i have left are snips - case - hatchet - telescope - unlit torch - bowl - pewter mug and of course the scuba gear and lantern.

[Spooky3]

u can lit the torch and use it dozy room so i should focus on waking up dozy and freeing that guy

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

u can lit the torch and use it dozy room so i should focus on waking up dozy and freeing that guyYes thanks, i already knew that - the problem was i didnt know where to light it thought id tried all the fires but rediscovered another 1 when i solved another puzzle so off now to get a lock of hair.

Or maybe not - that didnt work lol.

[Spooky3]

What should i focus next please someone tell me.....

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

What should i focus next please someone tell me.....Go back and talk to the shopkeeper and be prepared to part with some cashYou can also use your padlock key in 1 of the areas you mentioned above.

[Spooky3]

where i try that key everywhere and about that guy i can buy anything apart from food

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

where i try that key everywhere and about that guy i can buy anything apart from foodGo back and TALK to the shopkeeper. And i could be wrong but i thought the key opened the gate 2 the tombs but i dont have the best memory in the world and ive been running from 1 end of this map to the other for hours now and am beginning 2 lose the plot.

[Spooky3]

Well i am stuck .I have:scuba(used),penny(used once),blunt dager,iron key(used once),hachet,clean bowl,cutting snipes(used twice),slipers(used once),suitecaise,mug(used once),5 pieces of time travel scroll,18 coins(cause i spent 20 on a suite)....and i am left with these puzzle:

-wake up dozy...(lit the fire but something is mising)
-open the door next to the ship
-do something with the crypt the one from church
-give something to the dezil cook
-going out of hell(need a soul 4 the devil ,but i only have a femur left)
-feed the horse again?
What should i focus next...

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

It wont help you much at the moment because you are missing another item but try giving the sugar cube to something else - now who (or what) do you know that eats sugar?
You still need to use that padlock key and the bucket of fish will be appreciated by another hungry being.
Use it 1st then find a use for the sugar cube.

[chlodnik229]

I have just finished ;d What can I say;d Awesome, awesome, awesome.
I want more adventures of Dizzy ;d

[chlodnik229]

Well i am stuck .I have:scuba(used),penny(used once),blunt dager,iron key(used once),hachet,clean bowl,cutting snipes(used twice),suitecaise,mug,5 pieces of scroll,18 coins(cause i spent 20 on a suite)....and i am left with these puzzle:

-wake up dozy...(lit the fire but something is mising)
-open the door next to the ship
-do something with the crypt the one from church
-give something to the dezil cook
-get locket of hair for the man in the village
-feed the horse again?
What should i focus next...

You need to give the iron key someone, who likes the governor.

[Spooky3]

Well i am stuck .I have:devil teeth,scuba(used),penny(used once),blunt dager,hachet,cutting snipes(used twice),slipers(used once),mug(used once),8 pieces of time travel scroll,22 coins(cause i spent 20 on a suite)....and i am left with these puzzle:

-open the door next to the ship
-used the devil's teeth
-geting 3 more scrolls

[chlodnik229]

Now, you can't give soul the devil, because you haven't it. It's weird, I know.
In this point, you can get out of hell.

A femur soul is tasty, think about it;d

[Spooky3]

call me stupid but i haven't see anybody that is hungry apart from the devil....are they any hidden rooms

[chlodnik229]

call me stupid but i haven't see anybody that is hungry apart from the devil....are they any hidden rooms

It was 1 hidden room.

Last hint: have you visited ship, yet?

[Spooky3]

apart from the one in the town....no

[chlodnik229]

Do it!

Cooking can't wait!!!

[chlodnik229]

k but how do i exit the hell with the bone....to get to the ship to give it to the cook./?

Did you replace the wanted handle?
If you did it, you would get out of the hell!!!

[chlodnik229]

did that but my soul is draging me back if i try to exit what is wrong with this picture?

Lol, it's weird, I haven't this problem.
Are you sure, that you can't exit room through the door on left side hell?

[rocknic]

How annoying, I started again and I cannot find the padlock key for love nor money, don't suppose someone could point me in the right direction please?

:v2_dizzy_eek:

[Spooky3]

i am out thins time it worked

[chlodnik229]

i am out thins time it worked

:good:

[Spooky3]

congratulation for another great game :v2_dizzy_rolleyes:

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

What a busy day today at work, just got in & not had chance to continue. Will hope to pick up at the weekend now from where I was last night.

[quiggie]

oh i'm feeling a bit lost now i've been wandering around for ages unable to do anything with these items:
empty bottle, bug repellent, flint striker, old hatchet, blunt dagger, fuse cord, ornate key, loaded pistol, antacid powder and devils teeth
bizzar guy don't wanna buy any of these, think i've only the the jail, door in gloomy caves and make hole bigger [looking for dynamite for this i think]
any help will do please thanks very much :(

[Spooky3]

focus on the bazar guy.....remember that he has stomach problems and u can use the pistol to progres further

[quiggie]

well he doesn't want the antacid as for the pistol can only think to try that on the door in the gloomy caves so off to try that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rocknic]

Well yesterday I was getting annoyed with the mine cart ride:

Rocknics Mine Cart Map V1: CLICK ME (http://www.lawrencearnold.com/pictures/dizzy/mine_cart_V1.jpg)

[Nowhere Girl]

First comment: WOW.
Second comment: WOW.
Third comment: I need a while to collect my thoughts... ;)

Actually one graphic detail disappointed me: the typical rasta-coloured energy bar. In the progress thread it looked much more interesting and the weirdest thing is that I also see a different energy bar in the screenshots on the game's page... Can its appearance be changed? I don't see any such option...
Anyway the game is amazing. Really way beyond anything made with Dizzy AGE before.

OK, I don't seem to have any idea how to get further. I managed too cut off the barrel under the pier, but if I remember well, I only found a few coins down there. I've passed Abdul and been to the ship, but I don't know what to give to Maisy and Bazil. I've also found Grand Dexter, but none of the other Yolkfolk ancestors (I'm actually most curious about Dylan's lookalike... an 18th century hippie must be something interesting).
I have of course passed the tunnel, but it doesn't seem to have any branches, I've also been under the waterfall, but apart from the way to the ship, the only thing I've found there was an empty box. So far I have no idea where the mine ride would be.

[quiggie]

right i've only got the jail, bizaar guy [who doesn't want antacid], and the theo guy to solve and none of them seem to want anything i've got left which is:
empty bottle, but repellent, old hatchet, blunt dagger, ornate key, antacid powder and devils teeth
wondering if i've gone wrong somewhere or just being a thicko :(

[Adz.M]

Quiggie, Do you have access to the Govenor's mansion yet?

One of the items you've listed can be used in the church, once you've used that you'll find a use for the bug repellent.

[Spooky3]

think quiggie how do o take your medicine....do u sholow them raw or do u use water?

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

right i've only got the jail, bizaar guy [who doesn't want antacid], and the theo guy to solve and none of them seem to want anything i've got left which is:
empty bottle, but repellent, old hatchet, blunt dagger, ornate key, antacid powder and devils teeth
wondering if i've gone wrong somewhere or just being a thicko :(You have an antacid POWDER so you need 2 find a way to make it more palatable.

Decided 2 have a break from this because i was getting 2 frustrated but gave it another go and finished it this afternoon :vhappy:
Assuming there are 50 coins to collect in total, i missed 1 somewhere - isnt that always the way - but quite refreshing that not all were needed 2 finish so long as you hadnt been 2 greedy of course ;)

Was enjoyable and an excellent effort.
I liked that every item had a purpose even if the purpose didnt give the result hoped for lol.
A couple of minor niggles but nothing that detracted from the overall gaming experience.
I quite liked the 'fault' with the mine cart as when all the pieces of 8 were collected it made the ride less stressful.
The girl who was missing part of her dress didnt actually get back part of her dress.
When all the scroll bits were collected it still said i only had 9.
Didnt see the point in the lock of hair coming from where it did.
Did a lot of running around just trying 2 find out where 2 go and what 2 do because it wasnt always clear that you needed 2 go back and talk 2 someone again 2 progress further - the bazaar owner and the prisoner for example.

All in all a great game with some very interesting features and will probably play it again

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

7 Pieces of the scroll collected, 45 coins of which spent 20.

Stuck now with Dented Pewter Mug, An Old Hatchet, A Blunt Dagger & Devils Teeth.Must be towards back end of game now though I would of thought.

Any hints of where next ?

If youre where i think youre at you may find a previously inaccessible place has magically opened
Have you been back to see the person who sent you 2 hell?

Thanks that's got me to 8 Scrolls although don't understand that with the cave man & hell.

Only place I couldn't get to was inside the hut to the right of the waterfall near the ship but that's still locked, is there a way to open it ??

How many times have you used the iron key

Well yesterday I was getting annoyed with the mine cart ride:

Rocknics Mine Cart Map V1: CLICK ME (http://www.lawrencearnold.com/pictures/dizzy/mine_cart_V1.jpg)

Thanks for the maps!:v2_dizzy_clapping::v2_dizzy_cheers:

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Yeah thats the place but it seems to open by itself when you have enough scrolls bits - i had 9 when i went so maybe you need to find another 1 1st. How many times have you used the iron key


EDITS
I've used it twice & it's gone

Apart from finding coin no. 46 totally stuck now with the items mentioned previously, seems I have to get in that hut but I dunno where no.9 scroll is ??

EDITS
Gracious, got it, liked how that was revealed but how would you know you need to go back and talk to him & why would that make the door become unlocked unless ive missed something in the narrative

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Oooo I've finished :v2_dizzy_smile:

The game probably due as was the case with mine with the music files is the largest in memory usage of the Dizzy Games I think 16MB, mine being 12MB.

Have to say from a presentation point of view the game was highly exceptional which I suppose is typical of Colins game but still built on the others. The music pieces were great through the game, liked the number of sound effects incorporated.

Now what i'm really impressed with (as I dunno how to do & would love to know how it's done) is all the lighting / glowing effects, I think it makes the game so much more alive & great to the eye. Lots of custom animations & codings that I simply wouldn't know where to start with to try & include into a game irrespective of any ideas which could be utilised if could. Also I really like the scrolling & think gives an advantage to the map & gameplay when you move into what would have been another screen/room otherwise. I wish again I knew how to do that, would def if I made another like to have that. The backdrop again however that was done is another great added effect.

I think the best accolade to a game of this quality & immense detail is I bet the Oliver Twins would have loved to have had Colin as part of their production team in their Dizzy days.

Just some of the last parts of the game I couldn't understand, or follow the logic, whether that is just me or I missed some narrative I not sure. Also the ending wasn't as good as I expected in the sense when Dizzy realised he hadn't Daisy's Pressie it sort of ended abruptly & was waiting for him to be in bother or quickly go back & retrieve the aqualung (I believe was the pressie) and using some ingenuity get out of the situation lol..

As good a Dizzy game as you could possibly ever hope to play though :tup:
Well Done Colin !!!! :v2_dizzy_clapping:

[frogandhat]

Well Done for finishing Matt!:v2_dizzy_clapping:
Is it a coincidence that you finished this first, when you are the only one not still exhausted from all the running around in SWB?:laugh:

Hey Lord Dizzy
The scrolling was added a few versions back, I think, quick search brought me to this
http://www.yolkfolk.com/bb/showthread.php?t=883
Im sure Alex made it easy to implement after others had played around with the idea
Hope it's useful

[frogandhat]

As usual, I seem to be stuck at a point that no-one else gets stuck at:v2_dizzy_down:
I have ornate key, bowl, bug repellant, 2 x rabbits, rabbit costume, dagger, snips (used twice), emerald, suitcase, scissors, empty bottle, hatchet, and of course scuba and lantern ( i have also managed to keep the 1 trip pass as a souvenir!!)

Can someone please point me in the right direction - i need to wake dozy, get into the governors, get a lock of hair, get a piece of dress, sort out the shopkeepers tum, get the boots from jail, get something warm for grand dexter, get the hotel keys / proof I have come from the governor, do something with the manure, cook something, get a compass and i think thats about all!!

You need focus on 2x rabbits and rabbit costume. You have to find the place, where you can sail boat ;d

Ahh, Thanks Lex_Hedley, I will have to have a look at that !!

EDITS:-
Ok got it working on SWD, shows up lots of gaps between the edges of screen rooms that don't show when not scrolling though, also as it keeps Dizzy in the middle you get a different perspective of what you can see. So for example where Dizzy junior starts it now splits half the screeen of different areas of the map, means have to draw the map differently, keep blank rooms between different areas & draw map to either have a block on Dizzy as you need to finish the edges of those areas as otherwise you will see half a black screen either side or just extend the map in line with how far dizzy scrolls to.

[frogandhat]

Thanks, but I am still none the wiser! The only boats I have found are the Pirate Ship, which seems to be going nowhere, and the row-boat, but the only jetties I can find are for the Governors House/Garden, Church and Plantation :hitwall: I cant find this circus man the shopkeeper mentioned anywhere!

Oh, I have worked out the Health Meter, the Heart beats faster the lower your health.

EDIT - have now managed to use ornate key and bug repellant but still no further on...

[Kirkub]

Can I get rid of that damn boulder, or does it actually get used somewhere? My back hurts from dragging it along everywhere... thanks!

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

Can I get rid of that damn boulder, or does it actually get used somewhere? My back hurts from dragging it along everywhere... thanks!

It's only used in one place in the mine cave to get to a lower point. If you put it down & therefore clear from your inventory it will reappear back in the same place you obtained it from should you need it again.

[frogandhat]

I just cant find the 'super cannon' Matt mentioned anywhere!:v2_dizzy_down: It seems from the thread that this is the next thing I need to do. I must be missing something obvious as no-one else seems to have had this problem, can some kind soul please give me a big push?

[frogandhat]

Got in to the governors now (thanks prince!) and got stuck on a sword :v2_dizzy_down: Dizzy just will not let go!

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

Got in to the governors now (thanks prince!) and got stuck on a sword :v2_dizzy_down: Dizzy just will not let go!Cant explain how youre stuck on the sword but the sword handle is the key to exiting this area.

Try holding down when you're on the sword handle.

I think from memory to access the point where that is you need to obtain the 'full permission to ride' pass to ride with the boat chap. You can then ride in the boat and dock to that area where it is. Assuming you have ridden the cart you can access the guy with the green hat in the tribal area who has a guard, he wants his fluffy pet.

EDITS:-
Just seen you next post so assume you have achieved the above now.

[frogandhat]

Thanks, yes I tried everything, but the first time he just would not budge! so re-loaded and it worked fine second time round....:umm:

[Meph]

Made it across the mine cart in one piece well eventually.
lol loved that.

edit... so now I'm at 3 dead ends.. the mine which i can't use to get back, the Indian chief who talks nonsense and the locked gate, and the boatman plus the tend blocking the other exit So is this game over?

No, you don't return by the cart but by the boat that is docked near the tent, you need to get a "Permission to ride once" pass, are a few puzzles to solve in the areas you can access, you need to give the guy who talks nonsense something I remember (might have been something with a Jar)

[frogandhat]

Yeah, finished!:v2_dizzy_yahoo:
Great game Colin, AMAZING looking, lots of very impressive technical touches like the flickers, and the view rotating through 90 degrees horizontally and vertically - even the little touches like the mine cart graphic changing as it goes up / down hill.
Some nicely weighted puzzles, and whilst there was a lot of walking around, with the shortcuts it wasnt too bad.
So, thanks for all your hard work, loved it!:v2_dizzy_clapping::v2_dizzy_cheers:

I can't give anyone anything because I'm not carrying the correct items and now i can't get back to my 'stash' to try a new item. if you know what i mean. If i can't ride the boat back to the early part of the game and i can't get back down the mine cart how am i ment to get my other items to try?

You will find what you need in the area you are at, I can't recall exactly from memory but I think should bea jar then you need to trap summat it in.

Heh, heh - in the early version you didnt even need that!:v2_dizzy_wink:

Oh, I forgot, I also loved the way that you didnt need to find all the coins (think I found 49), and that you could buy the food if you had some spare, but with seemingly 10 'spare' coins, I think you could have made it a bit harder (but having said that, I am usually the first to struggle to find the hidden coins!)

[Colin]

Congratulations to those that have finished:v2_dizzy_clapping:
I do find it difficult when making the puzzles, to gauge how hard people will find them. I know a few were really nasty ones though :p

thank you for you kind comments on it! :)

Meph, take a look around the tent at the small camp

[Colin]

Heh, heh - in the early version you didnt even need that!:v2_dizzy_wink:

i accidently overrode the object id used:dizzy_frown:

[Kirkub]

Thanks, LordOTY, for the response the other day re: boulder :)
I seem to have finally come to a stop after creating the shortcut through the mines... so tired from (and of!) riding that cart... and I don't seem to be nearing the end yet.
What can I do with these items: blunt dagger, scissors, empty bowl, water filled bottle, a lady's purse (made me think of "I'm a lady, you see, I like ladies' clothes and sh*t"), hatchet, suitcase, and of course snips, scuba, lantern? I can't pick up the manure yet, and there's a bunch more that I barely remember! Is that a specific enough call for help? :) Thanks!

[frogandhat]

one of the items you can use - a girl doesnt feel properly dressed without it

[Meph]

I'm still playing the original released version....is this perhaps wrong?

[Nowhere Girl]

I've just noticed a funny bug. It was in the mine cart section, my third ride actually (I think I managed to find all coins in the previous two). I saved before a branch, than turned... and kinda fell out of the track. Dizzy kept going in a straight line, passing over rocks and even lava, a few times passing under something... Fortunately when I got to the end of the ride, the cart just entered the caves on the other side as if nothing happened... So I could even say it was comfortable - going all the way without having to do anything.
I don't have a technical possibility of putting images on the Web, but I could send a screenshot to the author. Anyway, has anyone else had a bug of this kind?

Yet another technical question... I read there is some older and some newer version... what about the appearance of the energy/health bar in those versions? I was actually disappointed to see the typical rasta-coloured bar (it doesn't suit such a graphically elaborate game), but I can see something completely different in the "official" (?) screenshots (on the game's Dizzy AGE page, anyway)...

[Kirkub]

NowhereGirl: I'm playing v. 1.0 and the energy bar is exactly the same as in the screenshots, i.e. heartbeat "monitor". I don't think anyone else has reported seeing the "spectrum" (or rasta, as you call it) bar...
As far as falling out of the cart, it's been reported already (in Fan Games -> Pirate's Life, not in the Help thread, I believe). It may have been fixed by now. I'm still playing the original version though because I'm too lazy to download the newer one ;)
Cheers

P.S. I'm in the same place as LDoY was in post #96... and the help thread is not helpful at this point ;) that is I've got dagger, mug, hatchet (I think!), teeth and 8 pieces of scroll. I've paddled my bum all over the islands and no one wants anything... I also can't solve that puzzle with the hanging axe or whatnot. Hayelp!

[Nowhere Girl]

I definitely prefer the "screenshot" version of the energy bar, but where can I download the first version?

[Colin]

what I take as your request is, you prefer this:-

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/aquallama/old.png

to this:-

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/aquallama/new.png

The top lifebar was from an early development version, and no longer exists in game. Note the bar still goes down the same as the new one!
I may look to see if I could add a menu switcher at some point, if enough people do to not like the heartbeat animated type!
I am busy this week, so it may take a little while!

The minecart bug isn't fixed yet!

[Colin]

I also can't solve that puzzle with the hanging axe or whatnot. Hayelp!

you need to make the counterweight light. try something 'light', you've been carrying it since the start!

[Nowhere Girl]

About the health bar - no, I prefer the version with the animated heart plus the zig-zag line like on emergency care monitors to the rasta-coloured version. It looks too simple in such a game and also (even though I just love everything colourful, I have lots of rainbow-coloured jewellery) the colours seem a bit too bright for this game.

[Colin]

I'm not really sure what other version you mean. these are the only 2 lifebar's that have ever been in the game!

Umm?? could you possibly mean this?
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/aquallama/load.png

this is just the background image as the lifebar goes down!

[Nowhere Girl]

Now I really don't understand...
A few posts before you showed two versions of the health bar. I prefer the second version to what I can see in the game now and it is the typical red-yellow-green bar overlaid over the last image you showed. Do you understand now?

[Colin]

I think you are playing the corrupted version. I did an edit on my laptop for v1.02 and it didn't pak properly! there was a reissued v1.02 that fixed it.
get the latest one though, v1.03. your save games will still work ok

[Nowhere Girl]

Sorry to complain again and again, but I've downloaded version 1.03 and the bar is completely gray, like the "empty" bar in the last image. Even if I try to start the game again. I can see the heart, but no line and no red and blue colours. Weird... What could be the reason?
However, some music is better - for example I didn't like the music in the Dylan's area (or what was the name of Dylan's ancestor - I don't remember this one), the current melody works better.

[Colin]

very odd!?! I have tested both v1.02 from dizzyage website and v1.03 from yolkfolk.com. I see no problems with the lifebar in either.

couple of questions:-
Have you tried extracting the zip to a new folder?
you haven't unpaked the game's dizzy.pak to the same folder?
what operating system are you running?

[delta]

I know what the problem is. The tile is too large.

Because it's an animated tile, you can't go too wide with it, because some older computers won't be able to handle it. In CoTM I had to reduce the size of the fire and water tiles so that older comps could handle them, as Quiggie couldn't see them.

what size is it col? I'd try to get it under 400 pixels wide if I were you!

[Colin]

i'm releasing a new update v1.04

I'll post the info in the download thread

[Ghostface]

how do we save the game progress?? i heard of it in other fan games or mentioned that it should be possible.. is it possible with this one? it is a long game and i havent even been on the mine cart yet.

[Adz.M]

Press either Esc or Q to bring up a menu, you should find the option to save in there.

Thats what I am getting as well, hence my post about not being able to tell how much health I had

[SALEHMARLEY]

Can anyone point me in the right direction?????
Not sure where to go from here, i got the following items: broken dagger, jolly roger, plate, sugar cane (i am guessin at sugar shop on one of the stops on the boat but i cant go back yet as i have used my one pass),bug repellant ( i am guessin this is used on the mosquitos after using the ornatekey in the church?)empty bottle, hatchet, cool rabbit, old suitcase (had to leave this behind before the boat journey) cat, jolly roger, padlock key(i dont think i used this yet), lantern, snips (used once)snorkel......there maybe more but i cant remember. I been past the cart ride. I managed to get one scroll from behind that fella that needs for me to make something light. I think i managed to explore all islands once i rowed the boat.
What do i need to concentrate on next.

Ps. Colin, loving the game thanks mate. Did manage to find a problem in one of the caves on one of the islands....'after a long walk it seemed like something had blocked my way' ...at this point i jumped left and i carried on falling through a couple of screens then proceeded to carry on walking. I couldnt do nothing but close the game down???????

[frogandhat]

There are 3 items you can use -

1 - jolly roger needs to be returned to where it came from - not literally as you cant climb up there!
2- cat - think James Bond
3 - sugar cane - you are right
You only lose the pass if you go back to the jetty by the fort i think - i made sure i didnt go there the second time through, so kept my one trip pass - but maybe one of the above may help??

[Nowhere Girl]

About downloading version 1.03 - I opened the zip file without saving it and yes, I just extracted the files into the same folder, replacing existing files. Otherwise I would have problems with my saves...
I use Win XP and a really old computer - my cousin, a doctoral student of mechatronics, says it generally shouldn't work anymore. ;) It's a Toshiba laptop, about 11 years old and actually from the beginning it used to have problems with overheating. It's also pretty slow, but it got much better after removing some icons from the desktop and getting some programs not to run automatically when the computer is started.
Anyway, Consumptive (that's his name ;)) is slowly leaving for the Happy Game Grounds and I'm looking for his successor - but it has to have manual sound control and now it's hard to find. I think computer makers are so ashamed of nondigital solutions that they gave up an incomparably more comfortable solution - switching off the sound from the desktop takes several times more - it requires several seconds and with manual control it's just one move of the finger...

OK, yet a question about the game. I managed to get the pickaxe and I'm a bit surprised - it doesn't work in the gloomy caves (where that small gap in the rock can be seen) and when I used it in the Governor's garden, it broke up. Don't I need it anywhere else? Anyway, that place in the gardens was just a shortcut...

PS. about saving the game... I remember playing my first Dizzy AGE game ("Dizzy and the other side") and whimpering on the Polish Dizzy forum "It's soooooo hard!!". The admin made a cheat ;) and only later I realised the game can be saved - of course I Know Better ;) and haven't really read the readme file. On the other hand, this option COULD be unexpected - original Dizzy games didn't have the save/restore options...

[quiggie]

hooray finished this at the weekend and it played smoothly with no probs at all - liked it so much colin i'm off to download the latest version and have another play thanks very much :v2_dizzy_yahoo:

I have managed to venture just a little beyond now thanks to frog and hat but already i seem to have come to a dead end!!!!!

I'm gonna have a little go now but i don't like starting before i go to bed otherwise it annoys me until I can find another item to work somewhere.
Oh well, here goes another late night and a tired abusive work colleage tomorrow!!!!!

Gotta give up already, i managed to use one item!!!!!!

What to do next or focus on?

Now got : Scissors, plate, rabbit, cant pick manure up, blunt dagger, padlock key, snips(i believe there is one more use for these?)emerald,steam bent wooden plank, battered suit case, empty bottle, fuse, striker,unlit torch, rock cakes and i cant remember any thing else.

[rocknic]

I am so annoyed I cannot find the padlock key again, I had to start again. Could anyone give me a clue please?

[rocknic]

@ SALEHMARLEY

Hint:

The cakes are good for eating, there is someone hungry that might want them, waiting to finish their shift.

[rocknic]

Thanks for the maps!:v2_dizzy_clapping::v2_dizzy_cheers:

You are welcome :dizzy_wink:

[frogandhat]

Salehmarley - you can also use the plank - it might patch a hole
and you will also have access to where you can light the torch - but it will need a roaring fire to get it lit

Rocknic - was the padlock key the one near the scuba gear?

[SALEHMARLEY]

Thanks for the help but i have only progressed in the way of part of a script. I now got two funny looking rabbits but no clue how to progress. Not sure what hole to patch with the plank and i certainly got no clue as to what the rabbits do?????
Maybe i should put it down for the night and stop :hitwall: bangin my head against a wall.
Although any hints again would be appreciated!!!!!

[frogandhat]

have you not seen a wooden structure with a hole in it ? it ia quite big....

The rabbits can be used near the governor's house once you have freed the prisoner.

[SALEHMARLEY]

Once again, thanks.....the structure was maybe a little too large for me to see first time round eh??????

So many prisoners, not sure which one you are talking of, have i freed him already or is the prisoner you talk of trapped on the large wooden structure and worth 1000 gold coins?????

[frogandhat]

You have met him, he isnt in there though!
The prisoner I am talking about is in the garrison, but you do need to free him as he is chained up.

[quiggie]

hey colin in the latest version dizzy keeps falling into the water when he exits harbour street - should this happen! didn't in the last version i played?:v2_dizzy_down:

[SALEHMARLEY]

You have met him, he isnt in there though!
The prisoner I am talking about is in the garrison, but you do need to free him as he is chained up.

Yeah, i freed him and have used the two rabbits.....I am lookin for a lighter rabbit by the looks?
The only possessions i have left now are the plate, emerald, blunt dagger, hatchet,battered suitcase,scissors, empty bottle.

Puzzle i know of:
Dylan equivalent and couldron, the well near governers mansion, grand diz equivalent, access to goerners mansion, lock of hair for young lady with dress, lighter rabbit (looks from the thread like i need a rabbit costume?)pub landlord and his brother, fishing pirate, bee hive near the big cannon, bear in the caves. I keep reading about hell and a devil????, gastrick problem bazaar man and i can't think of anything else at present....oh yeah cheers Frog, i managed to blast my way to the shortcut in the caves due to the plank!!!!

As normal, any help would be appreciated and I am sorry for keep having to ask???


Finally, found the rabbit costume, easy when you think logically eh?????

[Nowhere Girl]

I don't know where to find the costume - thanks for any hints...
I actually may have seen something like this, but I just can't remember...

Lately I've also lit the fire in the barracks, but it seems I have to make the fire bigger to wake Dozer. I guess I'll have to chop some wood with the hatchet - lots of wood everywhere, but no "action-able item"...

Try talking to the guy trying to set up a clothes business in the area again????? This helped me progress so much further and now i am stuck again, 3 items on with a bucket of fish......tried giving them to two chefs and a hermit but to no avail. I also tried waking Dozy after the fire...maybe the smell of fish will wake him??????

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

3 items on with a bucket of fish......tried giving them to two chefs and a hermit but to no avail. I also tried waking Dozy after the fire...maybe the smell of fish will wake him??????There's someone in the caves who is a bit hungry and if i remember rightly the clue after lighting
dozy's fire was you need to make him more toasty - you'll know what that means when you find the item.

[Nowhere Girl]

POSSIBLE BUG
Maisy's crew (wherever it is) seems to have caught some pirate and he is sitting in the cage on her ship. And after getting the emerald I can't go back to the pier like I used to. Every time I try to leave the ship at the wooden sign (there doesn't seem to be any other exit anyway), I fall "through" the pier into the water and I have to go to a ladder leading to the surface. It's a real pity because it seems impossible to jump over the crabs without touching them and losing some energy. Unfortunately, here you can only walk on the bottom, you can't swim like on Grogg Island...

[rocknic]

Salehmarley - you can also use the plank - it might patch a hole

Rats! I know I had left it somewhere with the good intentions of going back to get it! :)

Thanks.

[SALEHMARLEY]

Little dispondent and lost......
Antacid needs to be used, hmmmm!!!!!
I keep reading on the thread more pallatable? Empty bottle maybe?
Where is this hell i keep reading about also? I feel like i have explored everywhere? I have a clean plate, blunt dagger, antacid, hatchet, empty bottle, emerald, scissors and battered suitcase.
Cheers again for any help???

Salehmarley - the shopkeeper cant take the antacid on its own - think about what you do when you need to take a pill....

Bigger Hint - fill the bottle with water - but dont forget it will need to be a nice clean water supply

[Nowhere Girl]

I'm stuck at this very point, only a few items closer to the end. I just can't find the water supply... I've checked out a lot of places, including waterfall, the well, the small ponds in the caves and in the Governor's garden, the beach at the beginning... Nothing seems to work. I hope it's not on the ship - as I said earlier, there's probably some bug and I can only come back from the ship all the way along the bottom...

[Nowhere Girl]

OK, now I've finished. I actually did in the early afternoon, but later I had to go out and was in a bit of a hurry.
Colin, please let us know when the newest version is ready. Bugs I have personally noticed:
- the life bar problem (Jamie suggests it's a matter of tile size),
- Dizzy "falling out of tracks",
- not being able to get back to the pier when leaving the ship; it seems - only from some point (or maybe indeed since I downloaded the new version?).

Anyway, the game has really amazing graphics and unlike I said before - the mine cart ride doesn't actually stand in a real contrast to the rest of the game.

[SALEHMARLEY]

I just got back on here and i am stuck all over again!!!!!
Items i have are: Blunt dagger, suitcase, devils teeth, hatchet, iron key (used once),dented pewter mug, snips (used twice), lantern, scuba gear.
The only puzzle i can think i have left are wakin Dozy, the pub landlord and the inn keeper?
Please help, i want to lay this to rest now :hitwall:

[frogandhat]

You need to show the innkeeper you have the trust of the governor - have you got anything from him - especially something he wouldnt give away ?

[SALEHMARLEY]

Thanks Frog, I was hundred percent sure i had tried that....then i remembered, I had tried it but before i had set free the prisoner,therefore not activatin the innkeeper!!!!!
Well, finally finished now, so thanks Colin and well done for a wicked game, well enjoyed it:v2_dizzy_thumbsup:

[gavlaa]

Ashamed as I am to admit it, I am stuck and have no idea what to do next. I have:

Replacement break shoe
A padlock key
Daisy's pink scuba gear
Fuse cord
Cutting snips
Bug repellent
Fireside bellows
Sugar cane
An empty bottle

Puzzles to do:

Everything at the hotel
Everything at the pub
Everything on the pirate ship
Grand Dexter
The jail

Can somebody help point me in the right direction?

Gavlaa

[Grandad]

Hi Gavla

You may need to brighten your monitor - from what items you have it seems that you haven't found the tunnel that you jump onto, that is just past the entrance to the cave the genie was guarding.

[gavlaa]

Thanks Grandad,

I had my display set to 16bit instead of 32bit, due to playing some emulated games a little while ago.

Thanks

[Andy S]

This is an absolutely cool game, I'm so incredibly impressed, and a little envious...

Also a little frustrated...

I have all the scroll pieces, and I have:

Old lantern
Dented Pewter Mug
Aqualung
An Old Hatchet
A Blunt Dagger
Cutting Snips
Devil's Teeth
Comfy Blue Slippers
A Penny

And I'm looking for a root for the beach cave, it seems.

For some reason I just can't seem to think what to do next.
I'm guessing it has something to do with Leo the wizard dude, or something with the well (I've been down it but still drawing a blank).

If anyone can give me a little gently push in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Ta muchly.

Andy.

[Grandad]

You should also have got a ladder from the shed when you got the scroll pieces which will help you get to the 'root'.

[Andy S]

Hmmm...

Thankies!

EDIT - YAY Finished!

[delta]

right, I've only just started re-playing this again after a bit of a break from it.

I've got quite far, but now I'm stuck.

Items I have:

scuba gear
lantern
cutting snips (used twice)
dagger
clean bowl
hatchet
emerald
scissors
pewter mug

Puzzles I need to solve:

pirate in bar needs 'looker'
hotel owner needs keys
bar owner needs proof from governor
chef bazil - something to cook
Need to wake Dozer
dress?
hermit needs lock of hair
lester pickles (who is he again, the pirate?)
leo needs something to fix
lady in house needs proof from father
muffle footsteps in governors room

any hints?

[Grandad]

use the emerald!!!!

[delta]

who on, the lady in the house?

I can't seem to use anything on her. Last time I tried she kept saying 'that's not proof' but she's not saying anything now. Bug? (I'm using v1.02)

oh I see, you have to be stood in front of her.

[Colin]

v1.02!! :v2_dizzy_blink:

you really need to get the latest version!
no need to worry about your save game, as there have been no map changes since it was first released. :)

[delta]

ok ok! everything seems to work ok in this version (for me anyway!), and there seemed to be other bugs in newer versions, so I figured I was fine with the one I had!

[delta]

right, this is what I have now:

scuba gear
lantern
cutting snips (used twice)
dagger
suitcase
hatchet
pewter mug
slippers (used once)
devils teeth

I seem to have come to a halt. People have mentioned an iron key and a penny, but I haven't seen either.

[delta]

odd, I've done the puzzle with the pirate clothes, but the bazaar man still wants something for his tummy...

also, the girl in the house still says she wants proof.

[delta]

anyone able to help me with this? :)

[frogandhat]

Delta - you should have managed to get the iron key whilst you were wearing the slippers - you can then use that twice

[delta]

where? I went back in to try to find it, but couldn't.

EDIT:: oh...

[delta]

right, now I am stuck!

I have:

scuba gear
lantern
cutting snips (used twice)
dagger
hatchet
pewter mug
slippers (used)
devils teeth
penny

all I have left is Leo, and two scroll pieces to get. I have 17 Pieces of Eight.

[frogandhat]

Delta - have you used the penny?
Also you must be getting close to the point where a previously locked door is now accessible

[delta]

yeah I used it to get down the well. All I found was a piece of eight.

[frogandhat]

In that case, I think you must need to enter the previously locked door - it is near the ship

[delta]

In that case, I think you must need to enter the previously locked door - it is near the ship

just tried. It's still locked.

[frogandhat]

Sorry, thats me out of ideas then.
One day I WILL write down solutions to games!

Why not leave it for a day or two and try Daisy's Search - you must be dieing to know about that poster ;)

[delta]

you must be dieing to know about that poster ;)

I already saw it...

[frogandhat]

Aaah, yes, but there could be more to it than meets the eye;)

[delta]

Aaah, yes, but there could be more to it than meets the eye;)

yes, I saw. Kinda reminds me of a scene from Blackadder:

(Lord Flashheart appears in a plume of smoke)

Blackadder: My God!

Flashheart: Yes, I suppose I am!

[frogandhat]

:v2_dizzy_lol:

[delta]

Incidentally I still haven't finished this... anyone able to tell me what I need to do to complete it?

I have:

scuba gear
lantern
cutting snips (used twice)
dagger
hatchet
pewter mug
slippers (used)
devils teeth
penny (used)

all I have left is Leo, and two scroll pieces to get. I have 17 Pieces of Eight.

[Grandad]

From what you have left Jamie, it seems like you should have triggered a locked door to open.

[Sparkles 49]

This game is brilliant, probably better than the originals!!

However, I'm stuck! I can't work out how to get the boots from the goal. I also have a problem in the glowing caves. I've got the Jolly Roger but can't go through the door to the Governor's Mansion. Do I have to do something to unlock it or is there something wrong with my version?

I'd be REALLY grateful for any hints or tips as have been trying for a couple of days now and going crazy.

[delta]

From what you have left Jamie, it seems like you should have triggered a locked door to open.

nope, it's still locked as far as I can tell.

EDIT:: yup, checked again and it's locked. When is it supposed to open?

[Grandad]

Jamie, unless Colin's changed it once you have the devil's teeth and the other 8 parts of the scroll, the door should be unlocked so that you can get the ladder and the last two bits of scroll.

[delta]

I do have the devils teeth and 8 pieces of scroll. the door is still locked.

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

I do have the devils teeth and 8 pieces of scroll. the door is still locked.

I had the same problem but resolved it after revisiting the the budda like visionary seer character sat on his throne, he reveals a scroll from behind his chair (if you do the puzzle there).

[delta]

I already have the scroll from there.

EDIT:: nevertheless, in my quest to finish it, I have re-visited the old git, and then gone back to the door. It's still locked.

looks like you arent ready to get those yet. you will be able to get the boots, but you are quite a way thru b4 you can.
and you cant get in to the Governors Mansion through the door!:dizzy_biggrin:

[Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk]

I already have the scroll from there.

EDIT:: nevertheless, in my quest to finish it, I have re-visited the old git, and then gone back to the door. It's still locked.

Mmm, can only assume must be another one somewhere you've not acquired although as when I played it unless I missed something I couldn't see any connection or link to why the door would suddenly become unlocked just because you acquired an extra part of the scroll. Didn't make no sense. :v2_dizzy_confused3:

[Sparkles 49]

Thanks for the reply, at least I know it's not me that's missed something!

I'm still stuck though. I've re-visited everyone I can talk to, rowed up and down the river and can't seem to progress any further. I've used all the collectables I can and am left with:

2 pieces of scroll
Clean Bowl
Emerald
Snips (used once)
Brown Rabbit
Blue Rabbit
Old lit Lantern
Blunt Dagger
Suitcase
Scissors
Empty Bottle
Old Hatchet
Scuba Gear

Please could someone give me a hint or tip on what I should concentrate on next as I'm all out of ideas (even tried getting the horse droppings into the clean bowl to put on the fire to wake Dozy with the smell!!) :v2_dizzy_confused2:

[Grandad]

Sparkles, have you spoken to the Bazaar man after you rescued the ringmaster?

[Sparkles 49]

Hi Grandad, I haven't found the ringmaster yet! Could you give me a hint on how to find him PLEASE!

Just realised he's the man in chains at the bottom of the tower and have released him and got the rabbit costume. Just have to work out what to do with it now. Many thanks for the hint.

[frogandhat]

Maybe you want to read my last post again now then ;)

[Sparkles 49]

Thanks to some generous help I've got into the gaol and the Governor's Mansion. I was carrying the rabbit suit plus two rabbits when I got to the super cannon and it went into a cut scene.

I still have two rabbits. I've returned to the Super Cannon but can't shoot the rabbits from it as I think I may have to. Am I on the right lines or do I have to do something else with the rabbits?

[Grandad]

Dump 'em, they were only there as hints to get into the Governer's mansion. Go back there with the emerald and scissors.

[coopershels]

i can't figure out how to get the scuba gear, i have done loads like the mine cart, the boat, fed the horse among others but this is really stumping me for some reason. i think i have to give daisy something to make a flag but i don't know what........please help.:hitwall:

[Grandad]

Why don't you just go and jump off the end of the boat and stop whining:cool:

[coopershels]

i thought the scuba would solve some problems but not so, i used the keys, opened the portals, went everywhere on the boat(i think). i cant figure out how to release the dude beside the brown rabbit or how to get through the door of the shed outside the governers house. any clues would be appreciated.:v2_dizzy_cry:

thanks for the scuba hint!!

just released the man in the castle.

[Grandad]

Use the cutters on the ringmaster's chains to release him. You can only open the hut from the other side of the door - need to get into the mansion (and there are clues in this thread as to how to do that). Good luck.

[coopershels]

thanks grandad, stuck again though!!!!!

i need to get the pirate out on the boat.
i need to get the lock of hair
i need to get the slippers

i keep seeing people with the emerald and penny but i haven't come across these??

any ideas or clues are appreciated.

[Grandad]

All those are related. As well as getting into the mansion and talking to the woman in bed, you must also have spoken to the hermit who has told you about the necklace. Once those are both done, go back to the pirate in the ship's brig and talk to him and he will give you an emerald as proof that he has the necklace. Go and give that to the woman and she'll give you the slippers to be able to tiptoe in the governer's bedroom. You'll also need the scissors (by giving the telescope to the bloke sitting by the fire in the bar).

[coopershels]

thanks grandad, stuck in hell now. i have jumped everywhere( or so i think) but cant find anything hidden. i tried to give the devil items but he doesn't want them and i keep getting dragged back in by my soul when i try to exit?????

[Grandad]

Shouldn't be a problem as all you need to do at this point is just talk to the devil as he says you can leave but wants something later. Then pick up both bones and use the non-femur bone as a lever to open the tomb entrance.

[coopershels]

thanks grandad, i just had not talked to the devil after i replaced the handle.

[Ghostface]

Has there been any info on a Walkthrough yet?? Im returning to this game after a long while.. only just used the Loaded pistol and need a light of some sort for Dynamite...

:umm:

[Ghostface]

I know most regular visitors here have probaby finished this by now, but im at the stage of getting past the dynamite part and coming out the other side to the "Crystal lit" type caves.. have been and used the Repellent, gave the vicar his candle back, lit the fire in Dozys room, gave the pirate in Hogs head his "Looker", just i cant get into the garden, or whatever it is...(after going past the caves) , also can you get past the two boulders that also seem to lead into a garden of some sort? used what keys i did have,., i have Rabbit costume and 2 rabbits, not a clue how to use them, and how can i make Dozy "Toastier" in that room?? I havent been on the mine cart yet either..

Items i have

Costume (Rabbit)
two rabbits
Scuba Gear
Blunt dagger
Scissors
Cutting Snips
Old Hatchet
Empty Bottle
Battered Suitcase
Sugar Cane
Clean Bowl
Fluffy Cat

ANY help from here on very much appreciated.. send an e mail if you want to Ghostfacecouk@hotmail.co.uk

Ghostface.

[Ghostface]

well, just for the record, its now COMPLETED thanks to the help of someone who saw my latest post before this, an e mail came and i received help. Did quite a few coin findings myself in secret places, and figured out what items were for, and when stuck the e mails were sent to someone called.. "Ana".. so if they come here and see this THANKS..

Game-wise though... JEEZ!!! BLOODY LONG!! but then again when the effort put into this game with graphics and colours and puzzles im sure the same two words were in relation to making it!! If Colin comes back here and see's this then thanks again Colin for all your time you put into making this game, also to your helpers on this site in the BETA testing too.. a nicely presented well thought out game, dare i say its better than some of the real games!
I was surprised at the mine cart and Boat abilities.. something we should have had in a Dizzy adventure long ago..

overall though.. 10/10 for this game! Also got back to Dragon Valley Dizzy too and finished it, now back to Enlightening Times and some others..

Good Job! :dizzy_cool::v2_dizzy_biggrin:

[JasonA]

Hey folks,

Colin, this is an excellent game but am I the only one who has difficulty climbing up ladders? In the sea I have only managed to get off the top twice and I am not sure how I did it (pure fluke) and on the one in the secret room I can only get half way up and trying to get further only results in Dizzy jumping off (and hurting himself). Is there a technique I am missing?

[SALEHMARLEY]

Hey Jason...trying not to sound patronising but I had difficulties in another DizzyAge game. Are you using the up and down controls? From memory K = Up, M = Down.
Hopefully this is the problem?????

[JasonA]

YES! Thank you SALEHMARLEY. That was exactly the problem.

[SALEHMARLEY]

YES! Thank you SALEHMARLEY. That was exactly the problem.

No worries:v2_dizzy_thumbsup:

[mrpolo11]

Hi everyone. I think I am missing something blatently obvious in order to progress.
I currently have:
2 rabbits
rabbit costume
scuba gear
hatchet
candle
dagger
sugar cane
bug repellent
padlock key
clean bowl
empty bottle
lantern
snips (used x2)
ornate key
flint striker
kitten

i have been all through the caves. Attached the dynamite and fuse cord but can't seem to light it, freed the rabbit guy, found the cart but can't seem to find the break that people are talking about. This seems to be key to me moving on!!!

Is there something I have that can be used?

Thanks

[SnTrooper]

You have the item you need to light the fuse. Other than that you have nothing else you can use until you find the brake. It is in a secret cave by the empty treasure chest.

[mrpolo11]

Could somebody give me a clue as to how to get out of hell once i've spoken to the devil please.

Edit: Ok, out of hell now.

I've seen people talking about devil's teeth and antacid. Any clues on those items?

currently holding:

scuba gear
hatchet
dagger
sugar cane
clean bowl
empty bottle
lantern
snips (used x2)
bucket o fish
iron key
briefcase

[SnTrooper]

To get on the path to getting the teeth you need to give something, that you should have found in hell, to someone.
Giving away the sugarcane and the fish will get you on the path to the antacid.
You can also use the iron key to open a cage.

[mrpolo11]

Thanks. Will give that a bash.

I'll be back!!!

[shalashaska]

hmmmmmm I don't know what to say.

[Noggin the Nog]

Been playing this over the weekend - it's brilliant.

Almost finished it. I've got all the scroll pieces and the ladder but have no idea what to do next. I'm guessing it's something down the wishing well but can't see any likely puzzles. Also, I never made any use of the beehive - has that got something to do with it?

Any help much appreciated - I would love to finish this.

[SnTrooper]

Look for a root that you need the ladder to reach. It's somewhere that you have walked past a ton of times.
I never found a use for the hive and oddly the only thing I ever found down the well was one piece of eight.

[Noggin the Nog]

Found it!

Thanks for the help.
