Daisy's Search (HELP THREAD)

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

Oh so didnt want to be the 1 to start this :say_no:
I have got to the guards and have placed 3 items for the 2nd part of the puzzle but none of the items i have left seem to work. :v2_dizzy_dry:
All i have left is tape recorder (used) - jar of dust - loaf of bread - grand dizzys cards.
I can only think that the jar should maybe be empty again but i dont know where or how to empty it.
As far as i can tell the only puzzle i have left to solve (apart from getting into the castle obviously) is moving that annoying creature that keeps throwing me back down the hill when i try to get the item for the tanning lady.And i still need to get the clover from Shamus.

[quiggie]

go visit dora again and you need to use a couple of your other items before you can proceed

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

go visit dora again and you need to use a couple of your other items before you can proceedIve been to dora again thats how ive got loaf of bread and shes not there now.
What am i missing because ive checked everywhere and cant think what else to do?

[quiggie]

OH CRUMBS didn't notice you had that item - what to do to turn it into the first two words!!!!!! :v2_dizzy_smile:

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

OH CRUMBS didn't notice you had that item - what to do to turn it into the first two words!!!!!! :v2_dizzy_smile:Thanks for that quiggie - i knew that item had something to do with it just didnt think to do that with it 1st.
Now i cant get past the boulder!
I dont use the keyboard to play because of dexterity issues with my hands and wrists its too painful so normally use a saitek joypad and nothing i press seems to do the needful.
Have tried with the keypad but cant get the coordination right and more often than not control doesnt do anything except drop me onto the spikes.
Somehow i managed it (but i dont know how) and then reached a point where i landed onto spikes anyway and presume that this is an area where i have to walk a little before running again?
I obviously dont have the sequence of button presses right

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

Think im gonna give up on this now.
Can manage to do the 1st jump ok but then every single time i either jump over the 2nd or 3rd ledge or i roll off the 2nd ledge to land on the spikes.
Had enough now and i think this will be the 1st game ever i dont complete!!
Its getting me so angry and no game is worth that.

[frogandhat]

That section is REALLY tricky, but you are getting near the end, and you will miss a nice surprise if you quit now!


I am a bit miffed that you got past the bit that had me stumped the bit that triggers the heist, as I had a really nice cryptic clue worked out for it!:(

EDIT - i have just noticed, I have a save game just after the boulder that I can email you if you like

i am stuck got papas cards, 4leaf clover, childrens book (used
) 2way mirror have solved the ledges but cant get any further any help please

[frogandhat]

you should have another object, and you havent solved the ledges!
There are a couple of clues around telling you you have to solve the ledges twice, the second time round the order is foretold by a senior was the gist. But you cant solve it yet as you are missing an object from your list ( you should have found it, but may have discarded it as it was helpful for another reason) - then think of another name for it ;)

probably the tape recorder!!

[frogandhat]

Nope!

[gibbyboy]

Nope!

fruit machine

[frogandhat]

:v2_dizzy_wink2: or to put it another way......what did they used to be called?

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

I am a bit miffed that you got past the bit that had me stumped the bit that triggers the heist, as I had a really nice cryptic clue worked out for it!:( LOL you might still get a chance to use it.

i have just noticed, I have a save game just after the boulder that I can email you if you likeWill reply to your PM shortly thanks.
Just wondering how many coins there are?
I have 11 at the moment and know there is another 1 in castle as clue said there were 4 in there.
Should i have had more by now?

[frogandhat]

You are doing very well, yes there is 1 more in the castle, and you will shortly find out how many there are, but you havent missed any.

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

Thanks for the aid f&h.
Now i seem to be going round in circles!!
Or getting attacked by skeletons!! :hitwall:
Ah well onwards and upwards or downwards and backwards whatever lol.

EDIT Finished finally. Thanks again for help frog and hat wouldnt have been possible without you. :v2_dizzy_yahoo:

[frogandhat]

Well done!
You are welcome:cool:

[quiggie]

hurrah i finished - that was ******* marvelous grandad, so much to ******* enjoy, don't want to give away anything yet cause people will still be ******* playing so i'll just ******* shut it for now, but so ******* happy i met my hero - ******* brilliant thanks, off to wash my potty mouth out now :v2_dizzy_cheers:

[Kirkub]

All right, my turn, I'm tired of traipsing around, footwear-saving device notwithstanding!
I've got: granddizzy's cards, slot (fruit) machine, wood saw, children's book, can of oil, empty jar, spanner, bread crumbs, fishing net, tape recorder; leaf, bird, chick (I'm guessing those 3 need to be used much later).
Pool cue's in the vise, the lady is still constipated, the police keep telling me to come back - I've a feeling they're not really interested in pursuing the case ;) I can't cross the gap, errrr am I forgetting anything? Probably! Help!

[Grandad]

Time to go to that 'squeaky clean' toilet.

[frogandhat]

Am I the only person who got tricked by Pam?:v2_dizzy_mad:

Hops off into a corner to sulk.....

[Kirkub]

(Thanks Grandad for the previous hint!)
Can you remind me what the leprechaun wants? Seems I'm stuck again without item #4 (I'm guessing he'll give it to me)... thanks!

Oh I see, he wants gold... so I guess that didn't help me progress :0) 3 items left on the ledges, plus jar of dust, cards (item #5 I'm guessing), tape recorder, spanner, bread crumbs, and it's raining...

[Grandad]

Kirkub, The cab driver says that it will take a lightning bolt to recharge his battery, so you need to give him something to shove in his battery that will attract a bolt of lightning whilst it's raining. Hey, how about a 'lightning conductor'?:dizzy_smile:

PS - did anybody try to set fire to the bird nest?

[Kirkub]

I burnt the nest... I thought that was the way I was supposed to get the chick. It wasn't ? Ooops! :)

[andy20066]

kirkub u need to give him something the irish like

[frogandhat]

PS - did anybody try to set fire to the bird nest?

What kind of sick person would try that?:devil:

;)

Kirkub - yes, he wants a crock of gold - now where might you find some? you might need some mystical and magical help

[Kirkub]

Thanks all, I actually got past the point of the clues after restarting the game (I can't believe I missed the lightning rod!!!)... so the sun is shining again, and I'm guessing the pot is at the end of the rainbow, but I can't get back to One Tree Hill. I only have the jar, cards and the tape recorder left. Should I start clicking obsessively on everything, because I missed an object? :dizzy_smile: I'm definitely "special needs" this week... :hitwall:
Also, am I the only one who hasn't finished the game? Grrrr!

[Grandad]

That's odd, cos I didn't set any restrictions on travelling to One Tree Hill once the cabbie's battery was charged. He should take you there regardless of the weather (and I've just checked my coding). When you action him, what response do you get?

If the jar is empty, then you need to fill it with something.

[princeoftheyolkfolk]

PS - did anybody try to set fire to the bird nest?No - what a thought!!
But I did try to scare the bird on 1 tree hill with the tape recorder :umm:

[Kirkub]

Grandad: the jar has dust in it, and once the sun is shining, when I action on the cabbie, I get my inventory and "Don't Reckon That Will Help" message.
Did I invent a bug just on my computer? :)

[Grandad]

Oh, vast amounts of cussing and apologies Kirkub, you've found a bug. It happens when you give the cabbie the lightning conductor when it's raining. When the rain stops, he switches back to his normal uniform, but I forgot to update his 'status', so 'technically' he's still waiting for the lightning conductor. It works fine if you give him the conductor before it rains ..but that's no help to you. I'm really sorry.

I'll either do a quick fix (one line of code) and upload a new version ...or fiddle around and add a few more coins just for the hell of it.

[Kirkub]

Woohoo, I've found a bug! *squash*
I think you should fix and reupload. The competition voting hasn't started yet and MANY more people will download the game! Considering I didn't think of the conductor UNTIL it rained, there may be other special people like me who will do the same.
I'll gladly replay from the beginning though. Cheers!

[Grandad]

OK, bug fixed and added some extra coins, plus added a cheat for the boulder run and have just uploaded it to Alex and Adzm as version1.1. The map has changed so old save games won't work.

[frogandhat]

Woohoo, I've found a bug! *squash*

Tut tut, well done Kirkub, but what were those Beta testers doing eh? Probably too busy running around trying to set fire to stuff with the matches...:embarassed:

[Grandad]

Yes, tut tut indeed F&H, as punishment you should download the new version and see if you can find all 20 coins and the cheat for the boulder run ..mainly put in for Prince, cos of his dexterity issues.

[quiggie]

aaaaaaaargh playing the latest version and flew through till i got the new item now ******* stuck with that searching for the last ******* coin, grandad you absolute ****** [rotter :)]

[frogandhat]

Yes, tut tut indeed F&H, as punishment you should download the new version and see if you can find all 20 coins and the cheat for the boulder run ..mainly put in for Prince, cos of his dexterity issues.

Dont need a cheat for the boulder run!:v2_dizzy_tongue2:

(just 20 odd lives!!:v2_dizzy_frown:)

[quiggie]

FINISHED after much ado!!!!! very sneaky grandad, great game loved all of it :v2_dizzy_thumbsup:

[frogandhat]

Yes, I have found all 20 coins now! (not sure how I got one of them, I was keeping a list and suddenly found I had 8 coins but only 7 locations?)
Didnt find the boulder cheat, i thought I had as I assumed the Denture glue might help, but couldnt find a use for it anywhere.

Did get another bug though!
when speaking to the mall security guard after speaking to the queen, after his speech I got a GS9 error - will email you screen dump

[Grandad]

My memory is getting like Grand-Dizzys ...I changed Grand-Dizzy's sofa to take away the coin I was going to put there to the denture glue, but as I changed the reference that's why the error occurred with the Mall Guard. I'll change it and resubmit it. It's only one line of code so old save games will still work (provided you haven't already spoken to the guard after leaving the castle).

I'm not giving out any hints about the 'cheat', but it does make logical sense.

[Spooky3]

I am stuck i need to start the thunderstorm to start fix the cab but how......i am left with the book(used once),slot machine,water bucket,jar of dust,tape recorder,grand dizzy cards,2 face mirror, and some other but thouse are for the guard puzzle.I am left also with this puzzles:

-pot of gold....maybe after the thunderstorm...at the end of the raibow
-pass the pit.....maybe after the thunderstorm
-get the ring maybe after fixing the cab
-second test
-open the door 4 the 3th test

[Kirkub]

Spooky: what kind of weather do you need for a thunderstorm? And who can make that weather happen? You already have the item that person needs, it's related to that weather.

[Kogasa]

I have a problem:
I have 13 coins.I don't know how to go around the spikes in labirynth.There's also a pink sheet near spikes.When I pick it up i got killed by falling rock.Help anyone?

[quiggie]

ah poor kogassa - you don't pick up the sheet read what is says then hold down the Ctrl button and run like mad with jumping over the spikes - it's pretty hard but can be done :v2_dizzy_lol:

[Grandad]

...or alternatively, figure out how to activate the cheat so that you don't have to jump over the spikes.:v2_dizzy_dry:

[frogandhat]

Playing thru this AGAIN with my son, we noticed another little buglet :v2_dizzy_rolleyes:

We accidentally used the green candle on the candlesticks below where you find it to the right of the snakes, and when we picked it back up it had turned into a white candle !

Rubbish Beta testers!:p

[WhyNotSmile]

I'm enjoying this game, but need a nudge in the right direction.

I have: leaf, chick, small rock, children's book (got back from teacher), fruit machine, empty jar, soap, bread crumbs, fishing net, grand dizzy's cards and a wood saw. I've put the real staff in the vice.

I think the next thing I need to do is either to start the thunderstorm (for which I'm guessing I need the jar of dust, but I can't find any dust!), or find the laxative.

Can anyone give me a hint as to what to do next?

Thanks!

[frogandhat]

you need to get some gold - you are half way there, just dont be too scared to desecrate the object. The person that asked for gold (assuming you have spoken to them!) will have given you a clue what other object you can use, and this will all help you towards getting the dust

[Grandad]

WhyNotSmile - another little hint. If you do what F&H has told you, then you'll discover something else on route.

F&H - Dave I've tried to recreate what you've done and can't make it happen. I assume you mean the candlesticks by the room with the lever that is under where you find the green candle. I've also checked the coding and the 'green candle' won't work there. By using it on either candlestick you should get one of two messages - "I don't think so" or "That's not the right candle". Also, using the 'correct' candles will disable the candlesticks (and candles) so that they are just 'pictures' and cannot be actioned. Can you be a bit more detailed please.

[quiggie]

hey grandad having another play with the one and can't seem to get through the door - after the boulder run - says i don't have all the coins but i have 12 and can't seem to find anymore, searched for the new ones you put under the couches but they're not there - how many do i need to have :v2_dizzy_down:

DOH - FORGET THIS JUST FOUND THE RIGHT AMOUNT :)

[WhyNotSmile]

Thanks for the hints earlier... I'm further on now. I got the crock of gold for Seamus, and now have a four-leaf clover.

I'm just not sure what I'm meant to do next - I'm not sure what the next puzzle is.

I have:
leaf, chick, small rock, children's book, fishing net, four-leaf clover, mirror, cheese and fruit machine.

I think I need to get into the castle, but I've no idea how.

Help!

[frogandhat]

There is a hint in the library how to get into the castle, and a further hint hidden in the church maze
However you need one more object first, but you have the required object to get it....

Grandad - as far as I am aware, all I did was, in the room to the right of the snakes, action the right hand candlestick with the green candle, then picked it up again and I was left with 3 white candles and no green candle. I am sure I have tried 'wrong' candles before and do indeed get the 'wrong candle' message, but this one time it went wrong.

[Meph]

Just started playing and doing a lot of running around the exploring!!
Seems to be so much going on pretty early it's hard to keep track and deiced were to go first lol.

just wanted to know what exactly are you meant to do with those 'balloon buttons' ? Do i have to get them all green?

Anyway lots of cool soundeffects and animations.. and got to speak with god :cool: Short cuts are pretty useful!!

[quiggie]

yes meph get them all to go that colour then climb the ladder and wait patiently

[delta]

right, I've just started re-playing this, and I'm stuck much earlier than everyone else seems to have been!

Strangely, I'm sure I got a bit further when I last played it...

anyway, I have:

denture glue
fishing net
small rock
spanner
empty petrol can
can of oil
screwdriver
wood saw
matches
leaf
chick

That's it.

[frogandhat]

a lot of your items cant be used until later.
but have you used the saw? - it can be used many times.

[delta]

Thanks! I'm stuck again now though, with:

denture glue
fishing net
small rock
empty petrol can
can of oil
screwdriver
wood saw
leaf
chick
library joining form
piece of cheese
tape recorder

I haven't tried everything on everything, but I have tried things that are logical, and none work.

[frogandhat]

You now need to speak to some of the yolkfolk, and one of your new objects will be useful

[delta]

I've already spoken to them all. Dora's going to go shopping for more bread, Denzil has disappeared, Dozy is sleeping, Grand Dizzy simply says where's that boy, and Dylan won't let me take his jar.

[delta]

hmmmph, well I went into the casino, and it suddenly triggered the robber, despite me already having been in there twice with him in. :v2_dizzy_confused3:

[Grandad]

Odd, I'll have to check that out as the 'collide' to set the robber in motion is only enabled when you've spoken to Pam and is then disabled as part of the 'cut scene' and the 'collides' on the casino guards are then enabled so that when you walk past either of them you talk to the casino boss and get the object that contains the item Dylan needs ...which then opens up the game a lot more so that you can get the hints from the library and the churchyard about a lot of items that seem to have no current use.

I'll also check out joining the library as that part is only 'fades' and leaving the library should just take you to the street (perhaps I need to add a PlayerEnterScripted command to stop you walking off in the middle of a conversation)

[delta]

stuck again! :(

with:

denture glue
can of oil
wood saw
tape recorder
fruit machine
empty jar
grand-dizzy's cards
children's book

fishing net
small rock
leaf
chick
piece of cheese

[frogandhat]

You need to visit the library for a clue what to do with a lot of your items.

Have you not found anything that squeaks yet - there are 2 items, I think you have probably sorted one of them - but the other is in the Mall somewhere.
Sorry, clue cant be any longer, I have to go....:v2_dizzy_sick:

:dizzy_wink:

[Grandad]

Looking at Jamie's list of objects, it seems that he hasn't opened up the first floor of the Mall yet. Loved your final Clue Dave.

[delta]

I have nothing that opens up the first floor of the mall, and nothing to remove the sick from the ceiling. Also, I haven't yet done anything with the rat.

Oh and I know what to do with 5 of the items, but I don't know where to do it.

[frogandhat]

You have the objects you need to progress, and the first and third problem are related!

[delta]

Right, I'm a bit further now, but seem to have come to a dead end.

I have:

denture glue
fruit machine
empty jar
grand-dizzy's cards
children's book
strong laxative
bread crumbs
fishing net
small rock
leaf
chick

I think I need to make a broom out of the stick in the vice, but nothing works on it.

[Grandad]

Support your local police, go and sign the witness paperwork

[delta]

Support your local police, go and sign the witness paperwork

Already been in, he just says to come back later as he can't find it.

[Kirkub]

You need to do something that will give him a reason to, ummmm, leave the room in a hurry, rather than keep coming back "later"!

[delta]

right, I'm nearly into the castle. I have 5 blue plinths, but I can't find the items I need anywhere!

I have:

denture glue
fruit machine
grand-dizzy's cards
children's book
mirror
four leaf clover

and 12 coins

The only other puzzle I can see is the stick in the vice. What on earth am I supposed to do now?

[Grandad]

Have you heard of another name for a fruit machine?

[delta]

yes, a one-arm bandit. I saw that clue earlier, it doesn't help. :(

[delta]

right, this is very odd. I've managed to put the fruit machine on the second to last blue plinth, but I have no idea why I can put it there. I thought I needed to place leaves fish rocks birds cheeses twice. What does a fruit machine have to do with any of them? :v2_dizzy_confused2:

ok, getting this done by sheer trial-and-error now. The order (left to right) is: mirror, book, clover, fruit machine, cards. Although I'm buggered if I know why they should be on there like that, as there were absolutely no clues about them.:tdown:

[Grandad]

Yes there was. The clue for the first layout is from the book in the library. The second layout is mentioned on the scroll in the churchyard behind the grill by the petrol pump which refers to the numbers on GrandDizzy's cards: "THE FIRST FIVE ARE TARROW FROM LEAST TO MOST, THE SECOND A LAYOUT FROM AN ELDERLY HOST"
...and of course the items are a 1 armed bandit, a 2 way mirror, the 3 'R's book, the 4 leaf clover and a 5 card trick.

[delta]

...and of course the items are a 1 armed bandit, a 2 way mirror, the 3 'R's book, the 4 leaf clover and a 5 card trick.

I'd long forgotten what the book was about, and assumed early on that the numbers on the cards was the order that you had to place everything in. :v2_dizzy_mad:

[Grandad]

You still don't seem happy about that puzzle Jamie, but I really didn't think it was that obscure. Annoying, yes, in that if you placed any of the ten objects in the wrong order or the wrong plinth they transported to the churchyard. The tarrow book was re-readable to get the layout for the first items and I deliberately got the locum teacher to say the numbers on Dylan's cards to attempt to show that Grand Dizzy's card numbers were also important. Then gave a further hint in the chruchyard scroll.

The denture glue is only important if you have trouble with the 'boulder run' as you can leave the dungeons and go and talk to the vicar.

[delta]

I deliberately got the locum teacher to say the numbers on Dylan's cards to attempt to show that Grand Dizzy's card numbers were also important.

I realised that his cards had the order of the second items quite early on. I think the issue I had with it was because it said that items had to be placed on the stones twice. Thus I thought it meant the same items in a different order. So naturally I wondered where they'd got to after the first time, thinking I had to use one of the other items to get them back somehow.

Anyway, now I'm a bit stuck in the castle, I don't seem to have enough candles (needing a red, blue, and two yellow ones. I already have a yellow and red, but they don't work on the areas I need them to.)

[frogandhat]

You might need another colour as well, have you seen any other colours around? :v2_dizzy_wink2:

[delta]

yeah I've found the blue candle that was hiding in the background.

Now trying to get past the boulder run, but she keeps rolling off the first ledge. :( I can't stay on that second ledge, and if I jump any earlier I don't even get to the ledge!

EDIT:: past that now (thanks to the cheat). Have 17 coins, need more.

[frogandhat]

The denture glue is only important if you have trouble with the 'boulder run' as you can leave the dungeons and go and talk to the vicar.

You said that it was a logical use!:v2_dizzy_rolleyes:

[delta]

right, I'm now missing 2 coins, and have searched all the sofas!

For some reason I have another four-leaf clover...

[frogandhat]

If you search high enough, and have a bit of luck, you may find one coin.
I am trying to rack my brains for a single hidden coin, but apart from sofas, none spring to my addled mind I am afraid - i really should write this stuff down.

Have you spoken to everyone, including yourself :D

[delta]

Yes I've spoken to everyone :v2_dizzy_rolleyes:

Think I found that coin high in the trees quite early on.

EDIT:: hmmmmmm I just found two coins behind two sofas that I know I searched not long ago. :cross: why? why?

[delta]

wooooo I completed it (finally!) :v2_dizzy_yahoo:

I have to say that was a very good game Grandad (even if I found it more than a little frustrating at times!) :D

[frogandhat]

I just found two coins behind two sofas that I know I searched not long ago. :cross: why? why?

Because you have to speak to the guard for them to 'appear' - Grandad added them in the release build of the game, maybe he thought the beta testers found all the coins too easily (after all, it's rare for me to find them all unaided:dizzy_rolleyes:)

[Edward Dutton]

This is a brilliant game but i'm absolutely stuck, probably quite near the beginning? Can anyone help? I cannot find the pen to give to teacher to sign the library ticket, nor have i captured the rat, nor persuaded the boy to give me his tyre, not got talking to the woman in the pub. the balloon works, though i cannot pick up the bird and i have access to the tool shed.

[SnTrooper]

Have you talked to Denzil after you talked to the boy? Have you gotten the "massive pile of sawdust" that the delivery truck driver said he needed?

You can get the bird by feeding it. But you won't need it until much later in the game.

[Edward Dutton]

I co not have the sawdust, I do not have the pool cue, one of a yolk folk wants a sandwich (but i can't get a filling - such as cheese), one is asleep and i need a tape and the third wants some cards. Any davice?

[SnTrooper]

Your next step is to get the sawdust then. You get it by using one of the tools from the shed on four things then putting them in the shredder.

[Edward Dutton]

I did that shortly after I posted! Gave the cheese sandwich to one of the yolkfolk, the gameboy to the boy, the tyre to the cabdriver, used the tape recorder to open the door to one of the magicians, gave a lightning rod to the cabbie and now stuck on making it rain. also would love to know how to get the library ticket signed



Your next step is to get the sawdust then. You get it by using one of the tools from the shed on four things then putting them in the shredder.

[SnTrooper]

I think the only thing you can do at this point is give Pam the Mystic the item she wants.
