Diamond Mine Dizzy (HELP THREAD)

[quote data-userid="23" data-postid="56401"]

the pickaxe has three uses btw…

[/quote]

Does that three include the one in the mines, that doesn't appear to actually achieve anything?

well it did actually do something didn't it? :tongue:

What it did for me was make me think "oh well, maybe if I try doing the same thing elsewhere, I might find a hidden diamond or something"... and lo and behold I uncovered virtually half the rest of the game in the process. I don't know whether that's the "something" you mean...

I'm sure there can't be many more rooms to discover now, and yet I have a jumble-sale full of seemingly useless objects at my disposal that make absolutely no difference whatsoever to puzzles like the locked door upstairs in the castle, that damned sword stuck in the wall, and the cave-in. But I've yet to test out that clue about the spade...

I thought they'd be more than 3 uses for the pickaxe :yes:

I'm still not quite there but I've found 20 Diamonds which isn't bad :smile:

hmmm if you've got to the cave in, there aren't actually that many more rooms left...

how many diamonds have you all managed to find?

Adz do you know how many diamonds there actually are? the king tells you at a later stage btw...

I'm guessing 30, I already found 25 but I haven't even reached the point where the King tells you how many I need let alone find this other item you mentioned saying theres more than 1 item in the cells other then the pepper pot and the key thats in a locked cell.

you haven't found it yet?!?

it's in plain view.... it also hides a diamond.

there's only 4 'cells' rooms!

  :tongue:

Excellent game.

I've got a fair way through the game, I think, but now i'm truly stuck though - I've collected lots of the gadgets and managed to encounter the falling rocks.

  {yolkfolk}:tired:

The sword handle is in its rightful place but I haven't found a feather or the spade. Any clues and as for the kindling and matches - where do I go to be a twisted firestarter?!

I've finally reached the falling rocks point now, 31 Diamonds and I have a Strong Crowbar and the Spade in my Inventory now.

@rascal, the spade lies near the locked chest, that's all I can say :wink: Plus I'm pretty much in the same point as you.

i will say that whether an item is kept in the inventory after it is used is mostly down to whether i could be arsed including the line of code to remove it or not (obv apart from if you need it again)

if i felt like removing it, i did. if i couldn't be arsed, then it'll still be present...

  :tongue:

48... and yes, the King has told me how many there are.

I can see the 49th one in the mines, and cannot for the life of me work out how to get it with the objects I've got left. I've 'actioned' everything possible, given all the characters what they want including Daisy, and I can only assume that there's something beyond the door at the top of the castle that I can't work out how to get through...

And yes, I worked out how to get that nasty-looking one in the Dungeon. {yolkfolk}:tongue:

wow i'm impressed. seriously.

cause half of them you can't even see if you unpak it and look in the map.

i was pretty certain i'd hidden some real stinkers in there. that one in the dungeon i didn't really consider to be too hard to get to.

i bet you were one of those people who found all the coins in Treasure Island Dizzy weren't you? :tongue:

all i will say about the lone diamond in the mines is that you're still looking at that puzzle from the obvious angles...

Whatever that is it sounds waaay too complicated for me. I've been mapping as I go along using the good old 'Print Screen' key!

Oh you have... and yes, that Dungeon one is easy once you know how, but at first I assumed it was a puzzle that needed an object to solve it!

{dizzy}:biggrin:

Are we allowed to know how big the game is? I've found 116 rooms (including empty Sky & Dizzy's watery grave) and now I'm truly :wall:

akkk ok. i'll tell.

i consider there to be 116 'game' rooms (not including the intro or end rooms)

altho as a little side puzzle, i did code a little thing that gives you access to the intro rooms... but don't worry, there are no diamonds in the 'intro' rooms and it is not necessary to access it to complete the game.

it's just there as an extra little puzzle. :tongue:

oh and if you do find it without looking at the coding or map, i will be SERIOUSLY impressed, as there are no clues, pointers, or other indicators as to where it is....

have fun! :tongue:

I’ve finally reached the falling rocks point now,

[/quote]

Well I'll be! 49.

Now have I missed an obvious one, or is there still an unsolved puzzle or unfound room that will lead me to it I wonder?

doubt it.

more than likely it's that you haven't found one of the excruciatingly-hard-to-find ones

i can think of about 5 or 6 candidates for it. if you add me to msn, you can tell me on there which ones you got...
