View Full Version : Mysterious Realm Dizzy (HELP THREAD)



Humbert

Bleedin' heck, it's a bit early to be starting a help thread for this game (which came out last night!) but I'm well and truly bamboozled. (So congrats Meph!)

I'm famously lousy at video games anyway, but I don't think it's my skills at fault here, so much as my brainpower! Assuming we don't need to white-out "spoiler" stuff in a help thread, I have the following items:

[fishing] rod
green eye
super-8 [camera]
penny


I've collected five coins so far (cloud a few screens above the lion, cloud at the upper right of the treehouses, behind a log, behind a rail, and in the crypt).

So far I have stolen the key, unlocked the chest, given David Tennant (:v2_dizzy_happy:) the skull, entered the crypt, got the rock to bust through the floor, repaired the rope to get the gold coin and the penny, put one Z in the mysterious stone. (Whited out just in case.)

Puzzles that are unfathomable to me:

Stop the lion's paw bleeding
Enter the hut or the castle [assume Danny's key will do one of these]
Help Danny [assume I need to catch a fish elsewhere and give to him?]
The well [penny won't go in - something to do with King Midas and/or gold?]
Move the tomb [how does one play "The Streets of Cairo" and is this where?]


So stumped already and barely into the game!

I don't want anyone giving me the answers as such, but any slight cryptic hint at what to do or where to look that I haven't already would be much appreciated! I've gone everywhere I can think of multiple times and am out of ideas for the moment. I had hoped a new day might bring new ideas, but not so much...

i'm at exactly the same points as you humbert only i've got 7 coins, i'm thinking we need to find the whole lot to give the shopkeeper then maybe things will happen, but that meph is a devil he hopes we'll all be stuck for weeks and he could be right!!!!:v2_dizzy_walkman:

Humbert
06-04-09, 04:34 PM
Well, if you're at the same points as me, I guess I still have something I can do in the meantime, before I am hit with any new ideas - find those other two coins!

(One of them wasn't up there by the rope, in that castle turret was it? I haven't found a way to jump in there, certainly...)

quiggie
06-04-09, 05:22 PM
well one of the coins is out on the clouds to the right, can't go anywhere from jumping off their either, i can't find a way into the castle from the clouds, really seems like there's nowhere to go from here, don't even think there are 20 coins to be had where we are i've clicked on every bit of space there is!!! oh well just keep wandering around and something mysterious might happen! :v2_dizzy_confused2:

Colin
06-04-09, 05:45 PM
sounds like i'm at the same point as both of you. i'm on 6 coins

delta
06-04-09, 06:29 PM
i'm at exactly the same place, with 7 coins too (i cheated to find them all :v2_dizzy_blush: sorry but i don't have time to look for them all - i should be playing through IID!)

i am also rather stuck atm...

The Streets of Cairo is an old rhyme, but i've read it, and i fail to see the connection to anything i currently have...

gibbyboy
06-04-09, 06:32 PM
jump up were it looks like a fireplace n pull the skull should get use goin a bit

06-04-09, 06:39 PM
oh ffs.... :v2_dizzy_dry:

thanks for that!

06-04-09, 06:42 PM
oh same here - thanks :v2_dizzy_walkman:

delta
06-04-09, 07:36 PM
stuck again.

i now have:

Super 8
Olive oil
A Large Key (can't remember if i used it or not)
a penny
a rod
green eye


i can't find anywhere to use any of them. :dizzy_confused:

EDIT:: truly stuck. there's nothing i can action on anyone, or anything.

Colin
06-04-09, 08:12 PM
you need to try fishing down in the tomb

delta
06-04-09, 08:24 PM
yeah i already did, but i tried again and have got further now.

what i want to know is, why could i fish on that chain, but not on the other 4? :dizzy_confused:

also i think i've found a bug. if you walk left from the attic, you can get into the gold room. if this isn't a bug, then the room you walk into from the attic not having a name definately is!

Meph
06-04-09, 09:19 PM
Because like everyone you need to find the best fishing spot., dipping your rob any old place wont get you results.. plus the first part didn't have any fish in it. plus one of those chains has a coin on the and the other is were Dizzy picks up the fish.


The wall isn't a big but the name is.

And the book is a clue for something.

10 Coins, into the castle and met the French Chef...whos good at French lol
(Think may need some Haricots or in English...beans

Meph
06-04-09, 10:05 PM
French Puzzle its pretty easy really, but it its too much of a problem I'll post the hole text if you didn't catch it... the French version anyway.. part of the puzzle. :P

06-04-09, 10:07 PM
Wow Meph

This sure is Fantastic
The gameplay and story are great - the Wizard Weirdo bit really binds the story together - and the dizzy letters powerups - What a really novel concept!! - A really ingenious way of making you earn your bread, rather than leave power ups lying around

Ive msgd you a couple new bugs and some typos

For those of you who havent quite finished playing this yet - dont despair, there are some easier puzzles in the game - and you only have to find 20 coins so keep perservering

but be warned, just when you think things start to get easier - this game has a habit of bringing in a new surprise

And of course there's the 'Endgame' which is probably the most fun ending ive ever played in any dizzyage game

Have fun - this is GREAT!!!!

Meph
06-04-09, 10:16 PM
Well as least someones enjoying themselves.


I will fix all the little bugs tomorrow after work (its a bit late now) and send off a new version, I hate having spelling mistakes its embarrassing
The Dizzy letters was a kind of 'test' for a bigger idea later down the line, i wanted to see if it would work first something to expand on later!

Well i thought it was a nice idea. :v2_dizzy_tongue2:

DizzyFanUK

If youre still missing a coin after that - there are some very well camouflaged coins hidden in the scenery...

I'm guessing you did the first couple..... i hope so anyway,
the trick is timing you jump correctly... its better to jump on than to walk on when it passes, if you have energy and a life i wouldn't worry to much about the ball. If your not at that part then.... run run far away.


I've just fixed a couple of bugs and typos just gonna double check and then i'll send off the new version.

Yep, the endgame is great - I love the way that this game is not just about using objects to solve puzzles but theres some good old fashioned platform-game obstacles.

Im surprised how quickly people seem to want to ask for help in this game - what happened to the fun of solving the problems for yourself?
It's one of those games where the puzzles become really obvious (once you've solved them). And remember there will be a few red herrings, But this just adds to the fun.

Besides theres so much original scenery and variety to take in, I think its a pleasure to just walk around from one part to the next...

For those that havent completed this yet, take it slow, take time to think and enjoy.

For those that have completed it, play it again!
This is one of those games where whenever I play it, I notice new little details that I didnt spot first time round.

Good Fun!!:v2_dizzy_clapping:

Meph
10-04-09, 08:35 PM
All the puzzles are pretty easy.. very logical as far as I'm concerned.
Medusa and King Midas you may need to think twice about, its pretty obviously if you know about those myths.

The only puzzle that maybe wasn't logical was passing the reaper but theres a kind of a hint about solving that when you met the wizard.
I tried not to drag it on and every puzzle added after the basic game was set up i made sure didn't drag but advanced it or give it more character. i was getting to the point were i really needed to build a more rooms for all the objects, people and puzzles but more rooms would have indeed dragged it out more so i key it compact and busy.

Biggest mistake was not making the room size bigger.
And i thought the Dos version of Zaks looked different enough to be another charicter but 'dizzy' enough not to look out of place.

I'll post a full walkthough an a few weeks.


I've decided my next game whenever that will be wont have as many characters just the yolkfolk maybe and i want the puzzles to be like the first dizzy game.. in the way you kinda have to just do them without being told its locked or blocked, probably a simpler story and many obstacles during the world.. i tried to limit them in MRD for the end.
I want to expand on upside down world, making it bigger and more complex.

Anyway it will be different, and thats next year.

I definitely know what you mean - although I was rather quick to post here, too!

I'm generally avoiding the thread, skimming past anything spoilery just to see how people are getting on. Once someone explained the thing that had all of us stumped, I have steered clear of having anything else explained for me.

That said, I'm pretty stumped again, but I'm taking a break and playing "Illusion Island" Dizzy which... has me equally stumped.

The only Dizzy game I ever completed without help was Kwik Snax. I finished Treasure Island by reading where the last coins were, and read a walkthrough of Magicland in a magazine and hated myself for it later. (Completely ruined the game for me.)

Still, I imagine I'll have to come back to ask for help here again - and in the IID one, unfortunately. Cause I really am rubbish at these games!

I'm really confused by the thin ice! Some folk are saying you just jump over it but I've tried all ways, and there's no way. Others are talking about a feather, which I cannot find anywhere.

Otherwise I think I'm getting towards the end, save that damn Y over the thin ice and 2 coins - one is in Blood Money, which has run away from me from both sides :v2_dizzy_confused2:

Help!

Meph
11-04-09, 03:02 AM
Too set the record straight
You need an item to cross the thin ice. I should be able to guess what it is once you've collected it.

As for your runaway coin.. just pick it up.

What am I saying?
I remember as a younger lad - I had to explain to my mum (several times), that the much used premium rate numbers appearing on the phonebill were to Codemasters helplines (not the other sort of premium rate number that curious boys might use - although I suppose there is a similarity between those sorts of calls as Dizzy also doesnt wear pants ...?!?)

Well done Quiggie for completing :v2_dizzy_clapping:

I see your new Easter icon so Happy Easter to you & everyone here at Yolkfolk.com

Not been playing since I got stuck after collecting all the coins & polishing the item...so I moved onto Illusion Island but now stuck on that...wouldnt be Dizzy if you wasnt stuck somewhere along the lines lol.

Anyway any hint as to what to do with the shiny coin, I also have the mint & olive oil. Dunno how to get to the castle.

I have all the letters in place and have the snorkle & flippers.

Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk

You can't kill it but you can deactivate it providing your holding the correct item, hard to give a hint without giving it away but if you think about Magicland Dizzy you may know it once who find it.

no, you can't get that.

you'll need to hunt around the ice caves, some evil individual has hidden it.

thanks for that piece of advice. ive now got all the way to the water parts of the game. my only problem here is that when i get to the screen with loads of sand and what appears to be a chest, i cant get to it. is this possible? if so how? ive tried evrything i can think of.

Meph
16-04-09, 04:41 PM
Nah its just decoration.

can you send me a list of where the coins are please? Im up to 19 coins and cannot find the last one.

Meph
16-04-09, 08:16 PM
Not until i releases a full walkthough.
have you completed the dizzy stones?

mikelee
17-04-09, 12:08 AM
yeah i have completed all the dizzy stones. ive looked everywhere for the last coin. Is there one in the ice castle where the wizard put me? I cannot get back in there.

Meph
17-04-09, 12:13 AM
nope.

theres two hidden in the caves, a couple in the tree house and a 2 hidden in the crypt.

I'll PM you the coin list tomorrow if you haven't found it yet.

OK, not "just". I've been stuck for the past few days. In my defence, I haven't played Dizzy games in nearly 15 years :)
I have [whiteout follows]:
garlic, olive oil, mint, green eye, penny (not yet shined, I'm guessing), super strong rope, pipe.
I *think* I know what to do with some of them, I just don't know where to do it with those things! :0)
Since I draw the map of the game as I go along, here are the furthest rooms I've got to in each direction:
- up on top of to trees I can't get to Zak's Castle;
- to the left, I'm stumped on King Midas, and in the Sisterhood Castle;
- to the right I can't get past the Blocked Mine;
- I saw Flood One (?) room below, but drowned trying to open the gate.
Oh, and I have 15 coins so far. Hayelp! Any hints appreciated! Well, not any, only those that will actually help me along ;)
Cheers!

when exploring in the trees, have you gone into any huts?
im not sure whether you've solved the 2 miners puzzles - if not id focus on them - but not with the objects you have tho....

Meph
06-05-09, 05:35 PM
If you have the rope, pipe you must have been into the caves? You should know were the pipe goes, look around the castle, and i would have thought the green eye was an obvious one when you find it. either of those two should get you further.. you can even use the super strong rope.. so a couple of things you can do.

Kirkub
07-05-09, 12:40 AM
Thanks, Dizzy Fan and Meph! I got going a bit more (I didn't realise I could jump on those paintings in the castle - thanks!), but I forgot both of those guys were miners - thanks for that tip! So now I'm in the caves with my hands full again. Not stuck, just won't have time to play till Monday though :( Oh, joy!
Cheers!

Kirkub
12-05-09, 10:21 AM
All right, so it's Tuesday and I'm stuck again :0)

I have 18 coins and the following objects:
olive oil, mint, garlic (all yum), cross (already used), snorkel & super strong rope (I opened the underwater gate but I can't seem to be able to swim up - do I need flippers? I saw those mentioned somewhere, but where are they?), shades (I've come up to Medusa with them on, but what next?), the not-yet-shined penny. I assume once I get the letter D, I'll get some other object that will help me, but how do I get to it (flippers? flippers? crystal kingdom for flippers! :)
If not, I guess I'm even more stuck than I thought, and I've looked over the map I'd drawn a gazibajiquantillion times!

Cheers and thanks!

you'll need the cross again if you didn't collect the coin that was there! the flippers are underwater in the caverns and the medusa should be apparent if you know you need to shine the penny - once you get the flippers you'll be able to go for the letter D :v2_dizzy_walkman:

right, i still need to finish this and YTTR, but i got stuck a while back when i last played it (april 20th according to the save game!), and have no idea what to do next.

i have:

large key
empty jar
rusty cage
olive oil
garlic
super 8
mint
bush
penny
shades
magnet
cross (i know to use this to get past the monster)

and i have absolutely no idea what to do next.

you'll go ROARING forward if you think of what vampires like to feast on you have the receptacle for this
large key - some huts are locked
ask the SUPER monster before the bit where you use the cross for his autograph?
penny and shades u'll know what to do with when you've met the medusa
magnet will be apparent when you've spoken to the professor
by the way jamie i found the ending of this really hard but a lot of fun!!!:v2_dizzy_walkman:

Kirkub
19-05-09, 11:35 PM
Speaking of "ending"... I think I'm stuck in Zak's castle. I have the lightning rod and I've tried putting it just about everywhere, tried catching the zaps and the ball, etc., put it on every shelf (or maybe not?), even tried to make my way back to the entrance, but I couldn't get out of the "invisible" maze.
I'm so close I can smell it... or maybe it's the lightning striking and frying me :) Help !

I got frustrated so I finished Knightmare Dizzy, Summer Blast Dizzy and Starship Dizzy in the meantime!

Meph
20-05-09, 05:49 PM
The Rod is used in Zacks room, the only puzzle is what spot.
Theres no clues or reason why that place works..and others don't.. not everything is logical and worked to a plan.. but try one of platforms.




As for the Vampire complaint.
1. They don't eat Garlic. lol

2. Garlic on;t prevents them from biteing you, its a repellent.
There for Dizzy would still need to find a way past her...
Plus shes a big too big and strong.

used the shades to get to the medusa, but no idea what to do with it. the penny doesn't work.
don't even know who the professor is. if he's the green guy wanting something big and yellow, he doesn't want the magnet!

oh and i have no idea where to find any blood. i'm assuming this is what the vampire needs?

oh and i have the letters I and the second Z (already used the first), but i can't use them on the stone...?

:v2_dizzy_confused2:

20-05-09, 07:44 PM
arghhhh i have a bit of pipe, and there is a place with a bit of pipe missing, but i can't use it there! :dizzy_confused:

Meph
20-05-09, 07:51 PM
Thats because Dizzy doesn't know he has to fix the pipe yet.

You'll have to chat to some people and see if any of them are bleeding.

All the letters will work if you stand in the correct place.. you don't stand in front of them you need to be slightly left of the letter.

Nah that penny wont work.. hos are you meant to kill a Medusa with just a normal penny...

delta
20-05-09, 08:08 PM
thanks for that.

i can't remember if i've used the large key or not. i can get into a hut, but i can't remember if i had to use the key to get into it or not. Does it stay in inventory after use?

Meph
20-05-09, 08:29 PM
The hut is open, the key you stole (im guessing its that key) you use on the chest in the hut which gives you the green eye to access the upsidedown part why you still have the key i don't know.

Did anyone else keep the key after using it??

yeah i realise the clue is in the name, but, well, there's nothing i need to be light for! or for that matter, that anyone else needs to be light for as far as i can remember.

oh and the issue with the yellow button was that A. i didn't realise it was magnetic, and B. i thought i'd have to move the stone to get to it, so was waiting for a crowbar or pickaxe or something like that.

Meph
30-05-09, 04:46 PM
Well the button was metal the inventor said, so a clue was there. ;)
as for the block in the way.. . think outside the box.

Nothing you need to be light for.. .. are you sure?

delta
30-05-09, 04:50 PM
Well the button was metal the inventor said, so a clue was there. ;)

my point was that i didn't know that the item behind the block was metal

delta
30-05-09, 04:55 PM

i've tried using it to get up to zaks castle, but can't find a way up. I've also tried using it to swim in the cavern, but to no avail. i can't think of anywhere else that i need to be...

ohhhh hang on....!

EDIT:: ok, got the Y, but can't get any further. tried the key on those gates, and don't really have anything else i can use on them

delta
30-05-09, 05:04 PM
i have: garlic, mint, cross, 'light as a feather', bush, rock, penny, rusty cage, shades, pipes, large key, and olive oil. None of those work on that railing/cage thing after the Y.

Meph
30-05-09, 05:23 PM
the water you can swim in is blue, the one you can't is white and has a 'danger sign' next to it!


you'll need swiming equipment.

delta
30-05-09, 05:26 PM
hmmm, doesn't help me to get through this water without a snorkel!

Meph
30-05-09, 05:35 PM
and flippers. and I'll say this because its something i should change but the flippers are under that 'underground pond' As you'll need to swim under the church as well you'll also need the flippers, so do that one first when you get to it. its not a problem but pretty frustrating if you do the other one first and can't get out.


Anyway i think theres some clues in the chruch that will help you further. at least thats were you now need to be looking into.

delta
30-05-09, 05:57 PM
you say the flippers are there, but i can't get to them because i don't hae a snorkel yet!

oh and i've tried using the pipes on every dead thing i can find (playing 'the streets of cairo' can wake the dead), but none of them work.

EDIT:: forget it, i played it somewhere completely by accident...!

I have to solve: lion, princess, humpty dumpty, sisterhood snake thing, the reaper, medusa and the professor (but I think I can see the button - just can't get it).

I've done the troll, the fish, the actor and the irish guy.

Can anyone give me any tips? Just hints to send me in the right direction!

WhyNotSmile
24-07-09, 12:27 PM
OK, now I really am properly stuck!

I have: mint, garlic, shades, penny, coat, olive oil and strong rope. Do I use the coat or was it to get me through that icy bit?

I need to sort out: medusa, king midas, the reaper and humpty - maybe some other things, but I can't remember!

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Also, I have 16 coins. I can see one at the top of the castle - am I supposed to be able to reach it? And is there one in the backyard tree? Cos I have been jumping around and have found that there are kind of platforms in the tree - but I can't get any higher up than the mint. If there was an obvious coin there, I've got it, but I'm thinking there might be a hidden one if I can get on up. Is it worth all this jumping around? I also can't get the coin in 'blood money'. I chased it round the castle, and it has now lodged itself under the skeleton's armpit! I can't reach it or think of any way to get it down...

Thanks!

Meph
24-07-09, 06:07 PM
lol ok let me think...
Theres nothing above the mint.. you can get higher but its a pixel perfect jump but its not necessary (orignal a coin was there but i moved it for that reason)

You can get the floating coin in Blood money.. just jump about.

Yes the coat is used as an item... its a nice big padded coat.


What coin is at the top of the castle?

Also how did you get underground ice caves before getting the pickaxe?

Thanks Meph! I've now sorted Humpty and Midas, and been snorkeling. I think the only things I have left to do are the stone guy and medusa. I think I need all the coins before I can do medusa though.

I got the pickaxe before going into the caves - used the green goblin and got the pickaxe from the guy.

I now have 17 coins, plus there is one at blood money which I haven't gone to get yet, so 2 more to find. The one at the top of the castle looks like it's in an attic thing - I can only see it when I am on the clouds in the room called 'Top of the castle', but I can't get to it!! And there must be another one lurking somewhere that I haven't seen yet.

I'll head off to blood money now, and then just 2 coins to go!

I've done all the letters.

Any more help will be much appreciated!

I felt a bit bad that I didn't actually help the lion - especially since he was the only character who wasn't hiding something useful, but made me help him before handing it over!

Question is, which one next... Dreamhome, Middle Earth, Starship or Magic Star... hmmm... choices!

I remember that the reaper was the one puzzle that didn't seem obvious even after being solved... but I can't remember how I solved it!

If you give a list of what you have, then I might remember... But try a few things and you should get past. You don't have to go all that close, just drop them beside him and see what works!

To be honest, I can't remember exactly where you jump, but you don't have to come from the upper left entrance or anything like that. As far as I remember, you either jump straight up from somewhere on the floor, or jump left from the steps on the right.

When you jump, you might notice Dizzy crashing into an invisible platform, so you can use that as a guide.

Hope this helps!

you need to jump from the fair right entrance.. you should land on an invisible tile and Dizzy will hover about. get close to the edge as you can and just do a simple left jump, it shouldn't be a problem.

Still no joy. Even started again from beginning! Do you mean from the far right of the door? If so do I need to jump right? Assume so in order to then take a simple jump left?? I cannot find this elusive hidden tile anywhere...

no point starting again from beginning,

You need to jump from the high ledge. the top left of your screen where the coin come out of.

Finally!! Don’t know why I made that so difficult for myself but what a relief! Although I’d never have got through that ending if it wasn’t for the trusty save option… Ah, the days when that wasn’t an option and you’d spent 5 hours playing a game only to die right at the last minute and have to face the whole thing again…
Anyway, great game and great ending and thanks for the help:v2_dizzy_clapping:

p.s. I knew that starting again from the beginning wouldn’t make any difference but it’d been a while since I’d got stuck there and (credit to a good game) wanted to play it again - you should be pleased!!!

I must be a bit dense, but I am stuck right near the start of this game!:v2_dizzy_confused2:
I have got down into the Crypt, but apart from 2 coins I havent managed to find anything to help me.:dizzy_confused::dizzy_confused:
All I have is rod, Super8, emerald eye, penny and cant find anything to do with any of them!

Nice puzzles, very logical so far, and fell i am nearing the end as i only have a couple of objects left and only 1 puzzle i think
i know (or suspect!) what i have to do to sort out the Medusa, but as usual I am 1 coin missing!! :cry:

must try harder!

Well, call me a total thicko, but am really stuck on this game, even after scouring all the help pages!

Not counting the items that have coins hidden behind them, I have some mint, a pipe (that I assume I can't use on the machine until I've given the bloke his yellow button, which I can't get till I find a magnet somewhere). some garlic (which I can use to protect myself when I find a vampire), some strong rope (which I don't think I can use till I find the scuba and flippers) and a green eye (sorry Meph, but I really can't think of a connection for this), plus have dumped 3 letters on the magic stone. There's a bucket behind the grim reaper, which I assume I use on the well for the king (had to check the river name on Wikipedia for the myth) ...and only 14 coins. As far as the coin in the blood money room goes, it has moved to beyond the ledge above the troll ..and I've tried jumping up and diagonally from every spot in the room (including the steps) and got nowhere. I can't seem to jump on any picture in the castle either, which someone mentioned.

I assume that somehow, I have to find something to move the ice block in the castle ...and some form of equipment to move the rocks by the mine, which should open up the game for me to get stuck again.

So, when you've all finished laughing at my feebleness any chance of a hint please.

Sounds like you need to help the Dwarfs, i believe one of them didn't have the correct pic and the other was extremely thirsty.

p.s the myths say Garlic will not kills vampire just prevent you from being bitten. worth remembering.

Grandad
05-12-09, 04:28 PM
Thanks Meph, but my IQ seems to have deserted me. I've just run back and forth trying everything again on the two dwarfs who just aren't interested in anything I've got ...nothing fits in the well (just on the off chance that I could empty the oil down a well and get some water) ..and can't think of anything that I can use elsewhere to get either a pick or something liquid.

Grandad, you might be missing an item that you need to help the thirsty dwarf (the one guarding the ice entrance) that you haven't mentioned. It wasn't immediately obvious to me, just a trial and error, it's green and the clue about jumping on the pictures in the castle is relevant in getting it, it's above the chef. Hopefully that will help you help the other dwarf and you will open up a bit more of the game...

Thanks AddictedDizzy - I did manage to find it after trying jumping around all over the place ...problem was I started from the wrong end of the map, so it took quite a few hours to find the spot ...and then having solved the 'miners' spent the next few hours dying in the icy caves!!

Please help!! I think i'm pretty far in the game but now i'm stuck :dizzy_confused:
At the moment i have : 18 coins, penny, cross, feather, oil, mint, garlic, snorkle, flippers, and shades.
I haven't been able to solve the 'stone' prince, and medusa. I've collected the letters but not sure what to do after that.

Any help/hints is greatly appreciated.

You will need the flippers to swim.
Try the other underwater part.

Hi, just stumbled accross this one n had fun playing the others, however, can't get my head round this one at all so the only items i have at the moment are- rod, key and rope and tried them all everywhere.
Any hints or clues will be greatly appreciated.

There are two things you can do, climb the totem pole to get the skull and you can jump on the moon to get to the highest platforms.

Hi, and always thanx for helpin'. I now have 19 coins but hit the wall again. I have items - mint, strong rope, olive oil, hot soup, garlic and coin.
I cannot figure out king midas, how to get past the reaper (i have placed EVERY item in front of him btw) and can't find this bit of pipe or the snorkel anywhere:dizzy_confused::dizzy_confused:
Once again, any hints or clues are greatly appreciated :v2_dizzy_wink:

king midas is pretty straight forward if you know the fairytale.
If you've helped the chef then the remaining ingredients are usless.

What did the reaper want when you spoke to him?

After reading the fairy tale, i gave the coin to the king but was suprised that he didnt turn it to gold and all the reaper says is that it is not my time yet, iv'e also tried medusa turning the coin gold and still can't find snorkel, feather, pipe or the padded jacket.
Anyway, better try some more lol
Thanx for the persistent support :D

Use the soup on someone that is cold as ice.

Don't worry about Midas or the Reaper you don't have access to the items for them yet.

The piece of pipe is given to you by someone. You should have the item they want. It's the "Super 8" found in the hut above the actor, where you found the green eye.

Ah yeah this is the game with the Medusa :D id forgotten about that.
It's a different part of the Midas story which you'll need to consider.. the cure.

I stopped playing months ago becaused I could see the last coin but couldn't work out how to get it. Started playing again, got it first try but ran out of life so I started again from scratch.

NOW I have 19 coins including the one I couldn't get originally but can't for the life of me find the last one. Please is there a list of the coin locations or does someone know where they all are (and be willing to share!!), I know what I have to do next and am desperate to get to the finish.

Meph
23-01-13, 09:26 PM

1- 2 are hidden behind railings in the tree house
3. on cloud top of tree house.
4. behind grass just in front of tree house
5 -6 from the "Dizzy" letter puzzle
7. behind logs in church
8. In church 'broken floor' room
9. in tomb above the water
10. in tomb behind a bush
11. in tomb behind the barrel
12. Top of the castle tower
13. Castle with the bat
14. castle behind a crate
15. Kind midas room
16. behind ice on top weirdo's hut
17. In the sisters buiding next to the Orc.
18. top of the trees in the castle garden (no far from Humpty Dumpty)
19. behind a rock in the ice cave (under the stairs)

It was the one behind the rock in the ice cave.That is the one that I missed the first time that I played. Because I was more worried about not being hurt by the drip than looking for coins. Even the three or four times I was searching the entire map looking for it.

Thanks :tup:
