Yes, ask the elf in level 4 for a key. He will give you a choice between two riddles. Don't fall for it. Answering the riddle is not mandatory. Just give the elf twenty pieces of gold and you can bypass the riddles altogether. Of course, if you are familiar with David Sedaris essays, you may give the riddles a try.

Sedaris is a Mormon isn't he? Maybe I'll try that.

Here's another question. Before that, on level three, there's a one-eyed hag who asks you to tell her the meaning of life. What the heck? Everything I try she just shrinks my weapon by 25 sizes.

Gahhhh!!!!!

Bok - are we playing the same game?

The game has 26 levels and four sub levels under each level. How did you finish it so fast? Better check your link again.

Did you answer 42? i think you should answer 42.

C'mon Jon Boy, everyone knows that in this game, it isn't the size of your sword, but the skill of the swordsman.



Anyway, the old hag always seems restrict my sword usage. Is there a way around this?

You have to put her to sleep with the magic potion from the dwarves. Have you gotten that yet?

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
 
My problem Jon Boy is that in order to get to the dwarves, you have to meet them in the chapel.

And the chapel dwarves seem to say to me, 'Shhh. Be Still. '

Anybody have any hints on how to trundle the cloud barrels with the loopswitch you find under level 18? I think if I can figure that out, I've solved the bear riddles.
 

---

Posted by Trogdor the Burninator (Member # 4894) on :
 
AFR -- you don't trundle them, you ask them nicely, and when they get close, you force them in.

Posted by Beren One Hand (Member # 3403) on :
 
AFR, you should've joined the cloud barrel guild. Things would hve been much easier for you.

Stop making stuff up. This game is hard enough without the disinformation.

Edited to add: Opps, you're right, the Tahitian version is the correct version. I should have scrolled all the way down to the end.

The trick to this game is opening up the source in an assymbley editor and figuring out the password. At least that's what I did.

I tried the French version and it worked just as well.

I hate you guys. Drag me into a game like this and now I'll not get any sleep tonight.

I'm so embarrassed, but I still can't get past the three headed dog on level 2 sublevel 3. I thought it might be a Harry Potter reference and tried to play him some music, but he keeps attacking me.

I know all of you are way past that point, but if you remember how to do it, could you email me or post here? Thanks.

Posted by jehovoid (Member # 2014) on :
 
Um, I clicked on the link, but I didn't find a game with 26 levels and 4 sublevels under each level. It's just one frame where I move the guy to the crown and then it says "win!" and rolls credits. Some of the credits were funny though. They credited "a bear we saw" with something.

Posted by peterh (Member # 5208) on :
 
You need to use your holocost cloak to get past the Reptilian she-beast.

If you didn't pick it up from the velociraptor on level 11.5.2 you need to go back. Hopefully the carnivorous goats haven't carried away the remains of the raptor, so you can find it when you go back.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :
 
Spoilers:

Belle-- to get past the dog, you have to go back to the Naga's room on level one.

I swear this text wasn't there the first time, but when you enter the room, some text will be displayed about the chalice in the corner. Type 'GET CHALICE,' then take it to the dog. The dog will then drink the chalice, and fall asleep.

Be prepared for a hilarious cutscene. Don't want to spoil it for you-- let's just say that seeing is believing.
