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 () 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!!!!

[Humbert]

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]

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!

[Colin]

sounds like i'm at the same point as both of you. i'm on 6 coins

[delta]

i'm at exactly the same place, with 7 coins too (i cheated to find them all 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]

jump up were it looks like a fireplace n pull the skull should get use goin a bit

[delta]

oh ffs....

thanks for that!

[quiggie]

oh same here - thanks

[delta]

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.

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