Are anyone make a walkthrough please.
I think Leon are too busy to make walkthroughs for his website !

I can provide hints. I wrote the game, so I know how to solve all the puzzles

Are you having a problem anywhere in particular?

Thanks,

Bill

Hmmm... Not sure what to tell you about that. The path through is there and is working. Maybe you went one too many screens or something? Nobody else has gotten stuck on it. There is a difinitive path through.

Thanks,

Bill.

Yes eventually I got through. It is a matter of luck to find the hotspot to pass into the next cave room. I found going through the cave rooms was painful, all the other rooms are fine. I am running Win7, either in window mode or full screen mode.

I am haven trouble fighting Vaektor. Just a split second to do something and everything fails; just once - not sure what I did - then he crushed me. I saw a hint for that...

A hint please? Can we slow the game down?

Thanks, TassieDevil

No, no way to slow the game down. You've got to be quick. You're fighting a really bad dude, so he is fast.

You have exactly 2 seconds for each 'phase' of this encounter. Each phase requires you to use a different method. The rock crushing you can be avoided if you stop it. I left hints earlier in this thread about it.

Thanks!

Bill

Working on it.... it'll be there. Give me a day or 2 (or put 48 hrs in a day) and it'll be done.

I'm not sure if I'm just stuck or if this is a bug or both!

Spoiler

I killed the hobgoblin and I'm at the elf. I tried using the move item (I forgot the name) spell on the chunk of rock hoping to kill her that way. It says that the chunk is moved toward Vaektor (who is not in the scene altogether!!) and then the game just freezes. I've tried just about everything and can't kill her.

Hello everyone!

Like Shadow1000, I'm fighting the elf, but I have no idea of what to do to win the fight, the game doesn't recognise any interaction with chunk of rocks. Is it a bug?

poc301 · Mon 03/10/2011 02:04:40

Shadow, you likely have an older version of the game. The initial release had a bug in it where you could use the rock when Vaektor wasn't in the screen. That has been fixed in the version now downloadable (which it sounds like Rutitah has, since he can't use it).

Shadow and Rutitah, to defeat the elf, you're on the right track, using a magic spell. You'll need to maybe try another one. Feel free to experiment. Each spell has a different effect. Maybe one will work where another will not.

**Edit**

Let me clarify to lessen any frustration. You'll need to use a magic spell:

Spoiler

On the elf, not something else on the screen.

[close]

For a total and complete spoiler of what to do :

Spoiler

You need to teleport yourself into the elf. Let's just say 2 things can't occupy the same space at the same time.

Thank you, Bill. I finished the game. I will post my remarks on the other thread when I get a chance.

Stuck at the end

Spoiler

After killing the elf, the general appears and I exhaust the dialogs. Before I can do anything (not even a single click), it is game over. I even don't know if this evil creature cast a spell or hit me. I think this is a problem with a timer.

[close]

poc301 · Tue 04/10/2011 16:36:32

He is the super-bad-guy, so he is fast.

As SOON as the dialog ends, he begins to attack you. There is no timer issue, you have 2 full seconds to react to each phase of this encounter.

Spoiler

If you listen closely, there is always a hint as to what he is doing, or what kind of spell he is casting.

[close]

Phase 1 Hint

Spoiler

He is casting something directly at you. It will hurt if he finishes casting it.

[close]

Phase 1 Spoiler

Spoiler

Cast your shield spell to protect yourself.

[close]

---

Phase 2 Hint

Spoiler

He is going around the direct damage spell protection. An area-of-effect spell.

[close]

Phase 2 Spoiler

Spoiler

He is removing the ground from below you. Teleport yourself to another place on the screen.

[close]

---

Phase 3 Hint

Spoiler

He is going to squish you with a rock. Maybe try to stop him.

[close]

Phase 3 Spoiler

Spoiler

Use your Far Hands spell on the rock.

[close]

----

Now he is doubled over in pain, stunned.

Phase 4 Hint

Spoiler

He is immune to all direct attacks. The key word is "Attack". Look at his robe maybe, for a hint?

[close]

Phase 4 Spoiler

Spoiler

Cast your growth spell at his robe. It has a bunch of vines interwoven in it. Not a good way to go

[close]

Thanks,

Bill

sthomannch · Tue 04/10/2011 19:25:41

Thank you very much!
Took me a while, though. I had to wait until the cursor changed and then I had to react immediately.

Nice game, enjoyed it a lot! Now I'll try out the other endings...

Day 4

Spoiler

I know I have to go to a cave but I can't find it

[close]

sthomannch · Mon 09/01/2012 20:52:07

Spoiler

you have to complete a task in the garden behind the pub. Perhaps there are other tasks that you must complete before you can open this passage

[close]

poc301 · Mon 09/01/2012 21:43:40

Yes, as he said, make sure you're prepared prior to opening the Path.

Also, as a sidenote, you may want to make sure you know the WAY through the Path. While you can randomly roam around and find your way, there is a hint in-game which gives you the proper way to go. It will just calm the anger if you get lost

-Bill

cat · Tue 10/01/2012 19:04:38

Ok, I've written down the way through the path.

but

Spoiler

The faeries in the pub garden won't talk to me anymore and I can't do something else there. Also, strangely Cliona won't tell me anything about the strange instrument or take a look at it.

[close]

The strange instrument is a bit misleading, sorta kinda.. On the path, if you choose dialog correctly, you'll find out about the instrument. The MAIN reason for it being in the game is just as an easter egg or "nod" to Leisure Suit Larry 2. It's an Onklonk!

For how to continue :

Slight hint:

Spoiler

Did the faeries give you anything? Maybe looking at it will give some insight?

[close]

More direct hint:

Spoiler

The faeries gave you the branch. It is the key to open the Path.

[close]

Explicit hint:

Spoiler

You need to use the branch somewhere in order to open the portal.

[close]

Spoiler:

Spoiler

The fountain itself is the doorway to open the path. Cliona at one point when asking how to contact the Seelie Court says that they congregate in various places. One of the places they like to congregate are fountains. Water is life, I guess

The faeries, when they give the stick to you, say "We will give you a key to our realm. Use it under the noon-day sun here and it will allow you passage to our land." You need to use the stick in the water and it will activate the magic to open the portal.

[close]

Hope it helps!

-Bill

cat · Tue 10/01/2012 19:33:11

Got it!

Spoiler

I tried the branch on the faeries. on the flowers, on the grass, but not on the fountain... I completely forgot about what they said and couldn't talk to them anymore, but there still was a hotspot for them.
