Great game Jamie

i don't need help yet (i'm taking a break, 28 coins and i've just unlocked a large area - the shopkeeper), i just wanted to congratulate you for an awesome game :v2_dizzy_clapping: i love all the details, from the arcade games to the cavern of choice song :D (i have a save slot alotted just for that so i can go back and listen to it whenever i want. come to think of it, i could probably unpack it... but it's nicer to listen to it in context)

Yes looks like another great game in the offering from Jamie, im really enjoying this one so far, up to 23 coins and got through the church back door.

Thank you! I have a feeling you may be playing v1.0? if so, you need v1.01 :) save games will still work

Interesting so far.. current main tasks is the witch and glue the mine cart together. think i got 31 coins in total, i did buy an item.

Not sure what I'm doing now so i'm having a break and to refresh my head.

ah cool, you may have already seen the mistake i made with the v1.0 intro menu then...! :hitwall:

hmm, i didn't, what was it?

i might need some help: is it possible to become stuck? i mean, i suppose it is if you sell an object before using it, but what if you're supposed to use it twice (like the pickaxe)? so here's me checking if i screwed up: i've sold the metal cutters after entering the illusion island castle; i've sold the original, broken organ pipes (haven't used them); i've bought, used, then sold the welding kit, and i am now holding 12 coins and a bunch of items i haven't used yet. i'm thinking about selling the spanner as well after having used it once with the first switch; oh, and the pickaxe as well, after chopping up wood.

delta
10-04-09, 07:33 PM
you're fine with all those :)

I found a bug.
Theres a room name missing next to the 'up and out' room in the cave.
Also the bird next to the church almost kills you off if you get stunned under it.. something that keep happening.


Anyway i just picked up the goggles, causing a few interesting things. Not getting any further at the moment, got into the castle but can't pass the exit, can't open the gate the same way i opened the first.
so i can;t open any more 'zones' just yet. Im looking forward to rideing that mine!

Didn't pogie keep ruining away on the other game? His so dam annoying! lol


Well thats taking me 4 hours so far.. but I'm enjoying myself.

oo yes so there is a room name missing! i'll leave it until i need to release another version before i correct that, as i think it may interfere with the save games.

and that bird can get you if you forget it's there! :p


Yes Pogie did wander around a bit in RRD. i liked the concept so much i used it again here! :)

Ive collected 32 coins 'actual' but on 46 currently. That shopkeeper rips you off though ha !!! Cost me 40 to sell back for 15.

Is it possible to screw the game with this buying and selling though ie you need a item to buy to progress in the game but youve collected all available coins and you cant get your total back up high enough to purchase ?

Is it legal doing a cut and shut cart lol :p

Anyway I stuck now.

Is it possible to screw the game with this buying and selling though ie you need a item to buy to progress in the game but youve collected all available coins and you cant get your total back up high enough to purchase ?only if you're fool enough to sell stuff before you've used it (there aren't many items you use more than once) and therefore have to buy it back again. and anyway, there are a few other ways to get some additional coins through the game. I made it a more generous than it used to be, there is quite a bit of lee-way now. :)

Am now at a loss as to what to do, I've been walking around in circles all morning :cry:

At the mo I have: Banana, Stone Block, Heavy Lid, A Juicey Apple, Soggy Ice Cream Cone and A Cane most of them I know what to do with.

I have put the Mine Cart together but it now won't move!!! :dizzy_confused: Can you exit the Illusion Castle??? and can you get past the Dragon???

Any help would be greatfull :v2_dizzy_happy:

I stuck on that too, I have a feeling you go through the bridge somehow possibly. Ive just a got a Marotte Item, never heard of one.

Theres another item down in the celler, I missed it at first. You use that
somewhere and you get given it in exchange.

Dunno what to do with it like, at an impass again now.

That item you get once past the dragon can be used twice.
No idea how to pass the other dragon at this time.


I've just gotten to the next level in the castle, so many boulders i can't pass yet, and other bits and bobs.
Not sure what to do now, found a total of 47 coins think.

Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk
11-04-09, 07:39 PM

Well your somewhat ahead, 37 coins collected I think now, got the skull of Yorick and although I know where to use it cant get there without dying.

Which means I must have to do summat with the other items perhaps and I def stuck with those.

Annie
11-04-09, 07:48 PM
Denzil was something to do with his CD/Music, sorry can't remember about Perfume man.

11-04-09, 08:20 PM
lol yeah thats all i got him to say.

That shopkeeper is a bit of a con.. i sold him a railing for about 2 coins i think... but he wouldn't pay for any others.

I like the buying/selling concept its a really unique idea.

Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk

Yeah but I keep thinking I could screw the game if I sell an item ive used & thinking wont be needed again but you cant know that far ahead in the game where youve not been so your guessing. Keep thinking could run out of coins.

Guessing is ok to solve puzzles with items.

12-04-09, 05:01 PM
Edging on whilst resisting the temptation to read through the help thread... have managed to pass the dragon (that was a bit of a gamble!) and go deeper into the crypt, although this has presented me with a quandry as I have now discovered there are more than two passage-blocking boulders... so, is it possible to 'foul-up' via the pickaxe, by virtue of what happens to this bit of "cheap rubbish" after its second use? :O

Annie
12-04-09, 05:14 PM
Ok I need help, I've got: Some Twigs, Skull, Heavy Lid, Heavy Weight and some other things I can't remember.

I've used the bucket and sold it, how do you get to the next level of the Castle with the Witch and are you surposed to be able to reach the Crow???

Thanx :v2_dizzy_happy:

Meph
12-04-09, 05:31 PM
I've spoken to the crow.
you need to give the witch the correct ingredients.

Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk
12-04-09, 06:34 PM
Think I know what items the witch needs but how the hell you get enough coins to beable to do it, ive run out now, im not liking this buying and selling lark :v2_dizzy_frown:

(Goes back to previous game saved before purchasing plant killer....edits)

Oh nooo needs another item arrgh...anyone know how to get the plant for the witch ?

Meph
12-04-09, 06:58 PM
bird seed???
didn't know shopkeeper was selling bird seed.

I think you need to do a few more puzzles and sell some items.
i was one coin short for doing the witch, so i sold the sticks and then bought them back later as I've not used them. Hope that odd coin difference don't come back to haunt me.

I'm now officially stuck, just got pogie but it seems i may need to use him again, any tiny hints to push me in the right direction?
been playing for 12 hours now.. lol

Sorry meant plant killer (same item icon as used as bird seed in previous games)...yes ive sold some items....but still cant get enough coins for that item as those for the witch as well...may have to do as you have...I dunno how to get the final item though....the plant ??

Meph
12-04-09, 07:14 PM
oh yeah i used the plant killer.
You'll be able to find the plant as soon as you have the correct item.

you should be able to get it, start in the beer celler

delta
12-04-09, 08:15 PM
@ clientfan: no it doesn't leave you with a problem.

@ LDoY: you should be able to get rather far in the game before you absolutely NEED to buy stuff to progress.

@ Meph: selling that item shouldn't make too much difference. there's not an *exact* amount of coins required to complete the game. I've been rather generous in how many you can get.

DizzyFanUK
12-04-09, 08:35 PM
Annie,

out of the items you've posted - you may find it quickets to find uses for the skull or lid

My advice is the sticks may still be needed, but not till much later...

ClientFan,
The cheap pickaxe will break after being used on the last thing it is needed for - this is OK

- if there are more boulders blocking other paths - you may find something later in the game to help


Good luck y'all
Would be good to see some best times posted - my first go took nearly 10 hrs:D

12-04-09, 08:36 PM

At last ive solved another puzzle, I know what the heavy lid is used for.
Met the 2nd dragon !! More screens to explore now and some more coins.

Yes I suppose its about getting the sequence right, now ive just solved another puzzle & opened up some more screens ive collected more coins so may have enough now (44 actual) :v2_dizzy_happy:

ClientFan
13-04-09, 11:28 AM
That well-stocked cellar isn't half a tempting prospect, especially given my current frustrations! :hitwall:

I'm assuming it's got a bigger part to play - I notice that unlike all the other barrels, the lone one containing "Irish Beer" in the room on the right only displays its narrative the first time you 'action' it. Am I meant to somehow siphon some grog? Unused I'm stuck with a stone block, heavy lid, weight, twigs, soggy cone and skull, and I've tried 'actioning' them all on the barrels and on the rope in the room underneath which is too heavy to pull up. I've though about buying the shopkeepers matches to try but then wouldn't alcohol + spark = BOOM?

I've got the bucket (used once) and some bricks, which I want to sell to the shopkeeper but am worried I might still need them. I've got 63 coins so can buy the two items for the witch but have no idea how to get her 'intensely liked plant' with my current items. I'm assuming I need to somehow deracinate one of those tough pink mushroomy-type things that are scattered about? :v2_dizzy_confused2: I know what the umbrella does from earlier attempts, but no idea how it could come in use at this stage.

Certainly so, however im stuck again now.

Unused items of Soggy Ice Cream Cone, Small Twigs, Hand Grip, Stepladder, Glistening Gem & black cat.

Colin do you mean youve found where to use the Heaving Weight or the stone block ?

I know where the stone block goes but not the heavy weight ?

delta
13-04-09, 03:04 PM
if he's used the heavy weight then he's way ahead of all of you! :p

13-04-09, 03:06 PM
the stone from outside the castle. i'm sure it was called 'heavy stone'

ClientFan
13-04-09, 03:10 PM
Well just as I was about to throw in the towel, my literally 'last resort' effort of trying out one of the following three items, picked up from earlier hints - stone block, heavy lid, skull - worked. And in a very sheepishly silly place to boot! Now to see what lies beyond...

Meph
13-04-09, 03:27 PM
i now worked out were the skull goes but can't seem to get there in one peace.

I got no more places to explore and a lot of unsolved puzzles which no item will fix.. has to be one little thing I've missed.. must have gone thought Evey screen dozens of times.. argh must think!!!!

can't really help you there dude. the game is so non-linear in layout that i realy can't tell with any certainty where any of you are! :p

Lord Dizzy of Yolkfolk
13-04-09, 03:54 PM
I found where the skull went some time ago but you must need another item first so ive not used it yet so you can get there safely.

As now though im back to being bamdizzled again, my new dizzy euphemism
to say im baffled/stuck/at a loss, which ever you choose lol

delta
13-04-09, 04:03 PM
i'm puzzled LDoY. you should easily be able to get further than where you are, having read through what you've done...

i think you're missing something rather flamin' obvious...

Meph
13-04-09, 04:05 PM
I guessing the perfume maker is used to red rid of that smell, but he wont respond any anything other than the two things.
Mr Kite said he would screw around with animals but wont respond to the cat.
And the strength potion for some reason wasn't strong enough to pull that heavy switch or boulders.. lol


Argh, theses so much to do and nothing that will do it. I'm now official frustrated.. i was alright up till this point!
Must think, problem is i've run out of ideas to try, have to try them all aging in case i wasn't standing in the correct spot.

13-04-09, 04:10 PM
hmmm meph, you have the scull, so you must have been down in the cellar...

therefore you must also have the lid too. i think the lid and the cellar are what you need to concentrate on, however not necessarily for each other!

Meph
13-04-09, 04:25 PM
Theres another lid? it used the first one few day ago.
Can't find anything else in the celler.

13-04-09, 05:03 PM
Been following this thread - and theres a couple of frustrations out there
which I shared also - but most of these puzzles are so obvious (only when you know the answer, of course).

Heres a couple of hints:

Shop
I think only sell here if youve used the item or are sure its a red herring - but there are only a couple of things that are used more than once (but these tend to have obvious double uses)
- If you really think youve finished with the bucket and are really in need of the extra bob or 2, it might be worth haggling for more depending on whats in it???
- dont worry about money - I think theres loads of coins in this game and theres the opportuniy to earn more at some point later on - (if youve got good reflexes & are shrewd with the save game feature - you'll be quids in)

Red Herrings - hmm theres loads of these - some are actually worth money - if youre not sure its a red herring try to sell it - & take his advice

Cellar - make sure you explore every inch of this place for any item that could be useful - I didnt first time round and I sure as hell wish I had

Skull
- if you've not used this yet - theres only one place it could possible be used - a place where you'd expect to find a skull.....

Cat
My advice is think what is it cats are famous for doing? eh Jerry?

Lid
- Only obvious when you've done this one
- I think the most rewarding thing is just trial and error - on something that could be contained by putting a lid on it?

Ladder
- Obvious, really - somewhere you need to get past by going over - again its more fun by trial and error

soggy ice cream cone
- c'mon, I cant believe this has stumped so many people
- Just think, what use in real life would an object like this be?
- on second thoughts, no - dont even answer that one....


Hope im not giving too much away...

Good luck...

oh. didn't realise you'd used it. you're probably in about the same position as LDoY then.

Meph is still a bit ahead as ive not worked out how to get pogie.
And whatever is 'obvious' still isnt to me yet lol...maybe something
I have forgotten but im devoid of ideas at moment.

- To get Pogie, you need to solve Grey-Dylans Puzzle - remember he's opposite to White Dylan, so he's not a the sort of person who likes a bit of gardening....

If you're still stuck see the shopkeeper....:v2_dizzy_confused2:

Edit:
No sorry thats complete tosh, I think
Its White Dylan that helps you to get Pogie - and something else....

But how to solve White Dylan?

Theres a few things you need to do first - but start by using your strength potion....

Well they my be odiously but are they logical.. lol and we probably haven't found were its use yet.

Been trying the cat on mice, and fish with no luck.
And if the ice cream cone is soggy wouldn't it just fall apart.

I did find another hidden coin i had missed!

Edit, thats not how you get pogie... you need to real Dylans.

Red Herrings - hmm theres loads of these - some are actually worth money - if youre not sure its a red herring try to sell it - & take his advice

nahh there's not. there's loads of items hiding coins, but these aren't generally used for anything else. some of them do have a small value however.

Yep - I needed to edit my post re: Dylan

So many puzzles in this game - its easy for a little egg to get confused

yep! the other thing is, as i've mentioned before, that once you get past the first dozen puzzles or so, it's possible to take any number of different routes through the game. there isn't any one 'set' route through the puzzles.

DizzyFanUK
13-04-09, 05:45 PM
Delta's right about the different routes - this game is so huge - that there must be umpteen combinations of which puzzles to do in which order.

The hardest bit about the pirate for me, was not the logic of the puzzle, but that I didnt look for the solution hard enough - it's just making sure you explore the place carefully

On a not totally unrelated note, It's made me realise how central to this game the Cellar is. Or was that the subconcious mind trying to find another route back to the bevvies? :drool:

Secateurs:
Maybe this was even more obvious to me, having spent my Bank 'oliday monday walking around the beautiful Beth Chatto gardens near Colchester.

Visualise:
Its Spring, you're walking around a woodland, plants are everywhere...
You have a shiny, sharp pair of secateurs in your hands, and youre feeling a feeling a bit miffed....
Theres no-one to tell you not to (after all how are we supposed to tell a rare species from a common weed?)...
So do what comes natural and snip, snip, snip away....

you can't do anything with the beer as it just brings up a name with the exception of two, and no item seems to do anything.. i mean you can't climb in with a ladder, or drown the cat, the ice cream cone can't hold anything, how u get the lids off in the first place or poke a whole in the barren.. soak the Apple in it? lol Pogie doesn't want to know, :hitwall:

i found the hidden room but its blocked by a rock.


Im guessing none of us are standing in the exact spot or we haven't found the correct item.

Make sure you carry it with you at all times

James i think you've gone way OTT on this.

Granted, a 'soggy ice cream cone' may not have any use at all in the real world, but people are trying to figure out puzzles for themselves, and you need to remember that what to use items for is not as obvious as it may seem to me (the games creator) or you (one of the beta testers).

Please can we now move on from this?

16-04-09, 09:25 PM
lol thought that was meant to happen.


Is this normal?

interesting. i think i know how it's happening tho.

EDIT:: yup, fixed that bug too.

basically what happens is that obviously the game uses three types of message borders (set in dialog.gs). There is a Game Variable that i use to 'set' which border is used for each menu. Now, as the default template doesn't use more than one border, it doesn't need any of this coding for switching border styles, so i have to add in a bit of coding before every 'standard' game menu or dialogue (e.g. 'your hands are full', 'you found a coin', or even just the pause menu). this bit of coding switches the border style back to the default one, so that if, for example, you've just looked at a grave, the next menu you open won't show a 'grave' border style.

What's happened here is simply that i've forgot to add that bit of coding before the 'your hands are full' dialogue, so it's still using the border from the grave, which will be the last dialogue you had open :)

Sorted the crow, sorted Denzil out with his bait (and wasnt the soggy ice cream cone lol), the witch
& the Irish fella, as some one whos been to Ireland many a time I liked that addition to the game.

Got the Petrification Cream & inflatable dinghy. No idea how to get up the bell tower which im sure
some of the other items ive got must lead to beable to get up there seeing as Meph has solved that.

Scored 50000 points now.

I went up the bell tower a few days ago and not sure what im attempting to do really.. I like it how everyone is solving different puzzles but no ones appears to me making any progress.

At least i wasn't the only one that tried using the ice cream cone as bait. :D



does that mean we can sell the handgrip? I've only got a handful if items available to use now. and a total of 60 something coins i think it said.

I think with the game being so open if you like with so many different puzzles which can be solved in a number of different orders its made the game rather challenging & people have been solving like that as you say....& it really forces you to remember everything as the puzzles dont follow on progressively necessarily.

Glad I wasnt the only one either ;)

Im stuck on how you get up that bell tower, suppose to need a pull for the rope, I have a few items still unused but seeing as you made it up then that means in theory I should beable to now.

Ive collected 64 coins in total.

seems to me that there's a fair few things that you can do.

you said before that you've managed to get the two items to get down the big hole, therefore there's something you can do there, however i wonder if you've seen it yet?

also, the chasm, do you mean to get the Snorkel? i'll be very surprised if you haven't got the snorkel yet.

and if you have the cell key, then surely you've used the magnet?

oh and yes, sea wall does mark the edge of the gameplay area.

The 'big hole' I was meaning as the chasm, the other side I referred to earlier (obviously not seen what I need to)

I should of said Daisys cell key (got from smuggler), does that mean is another one as ive not used the magnet, dunno where to use that.

Just a little note to everyone playing v1.01 (or even v1.0!), before you rescue Daisy (the white one), <b>MAKE SURE</b> that you've solved the puzzles for all the other Yolkfolk apart from Dozy, otherwise you won't be able to complete the game!

v1.10 fixes this by swapping two items around in the map.

Unfortunately save games from v1.01 don't work in v1.10, however the Highscores file willll stilll work.

I have come to a complete stop....Puzzles I'm stuck on are: the crow, dozy (both I think), the devil, the lion, the church tower, the third floor in the castle, how to stop the shark killing me when I attempt to get the boots, the door near where the pirate was, how to move the stuck boulder, how to not die on either mine cart route, denzils fish issue, grand dizzys hearing problem, shamus looking irish guy, the croc, and thats all i can think of, although that is quite a lot. oh! and the hidden treasure.

The items I have are: a bird whistle, a bottle of oil, a heavy weight, grease gun, snorkel, reality goggles, large golden cup, glistening gem, umbrella, some bones, diamond tiped pickaxe, gas mask, twigs, gravediggers spade.

Please can someone piont me in the right direction? :v2_dizzy_confused2:
