Im at that point, how to get past the guillotine, got a plethora of items
but none that work...a few items that have been used but still remain...
have these just not been removed from the inventory or are they to be used again ? Im sure I may be wasting time with them.... {yolkfolk}:scratch:

Also down the stairs under the castle on the right side is another fire but the fire extinguisher dont work on it ???

some items don't get taken out of the inventory because you just use them, rather than give them away, for example the bible. that's not to say they don't have another use... some may do. (i can't remember tbh..!)

oh and the fire extinguisher is now an empty extinguisher, which is why it doesn't work... :tongue:

#5695926 May 2007

Ok thanks for that.

However I think the description for the fire extinguisher has been mixed up the wrong way round. When I first got got the item it was 'Empty Fire Extinguisher' which threw me a bit but it still worked. After I used the item
in my inventory it now says 'Fire Extinguisher' - may be worth a check on that.

#5696026 May 2007

oh bother.

was it after you'd loaded a saved game?

could do with as much info as possible tbh, cause i can't seem to replicate it.

Was as soon as I first got the item I think in the haunted room, I noticed it said 'Empty Fire Extinguisher', in my inventory, so I initially thought it wont work on the fire & I have to do something else first like fill it up but I thought I try it anyway first and it worked, it now says 'Fire Extinguisher'.

Dunno if anyway else has noticed that.

#5696226 May 2007

hmm thats odd.

there's only 2 points where it sets the name 'empty fire extinguisher'.

after you've used it, and on loading a game (if it *thinks* it's been used).

and when it's been used, it SHOULD change the desc to 'empty'. at NO POINT in the code does it change the desc to full, so i've really no idea what has happened there. bah.

the only thing i can think is that loading the saved games was a bit iffy with regards to it.

the way it was set, if you'd loaded a saved game, it would have changed the name of the extinguisher to empty (or it should have, it didn't for me...) even if you hadn't used it. i've fixed that.

peter has just uploaded it to the yolkfolk website. it's not a major bug. just don't go dropping the extinguisher in the haunted room if you don't have the cross...

#5696526 May 2007

Ok. It is likely I did make a save before actually using the item. Minor prob.

36 Zzz's and counting...

I can't work out how to pass the guillotine, but I have managed to get the de-magnetising kit without drowning but sustaining severe energy bar damage in the process. Is that actually how you're meant to do it, or are you meant to solve a puzzle that makes it easier?

Not that I can find a use for the magnet now that I've got it anyway! {yolkfolk}:scratch:

it is possible to get the de-magnetising kit and sustain no energy bar damage at all, i know cause i've done it. no item needed for that one!

you just have to be *very* quick and *very* precise. :tongue:

#5698727 May 2007

there is a magnet stuck to a suit of armour at the top of the castle maybe the demagnatising kit is for that?

#5698827 May 2007

oh and someone was saying they hoped the puzzles would be harder in Dreamworld than they were in Diamond Mine.

well, there's your first real toughie! :tongue:

#5698927 May 2007

Well think I'll try chucking Toto under the guillotine then, doesn't seem to be doing me any other favours! {yolkfolk}:clap:

you cruel sod! :tongue:

LOL {yolkfolk}:rofl:

I did the same thing as ClientFan, lucky I saved some fruit :tongue: Now I've got the Brain, Large Egg, A cup, Bottle of Milk, Magnet, A Plum, That CD and Toto.

And I'm completley stumped :roll:

#5699227 May 2007

I know what to do with the magnet and the CD... Needless to say, Toto's neck was spared, and now I'm up to 42 Zzz's. I can get a 43rd but I'm not counting it at the moment as there's no way back from where I got it from without 'egg-spiring' (sorry).

Some pretty ingenious puzzles to be sure - considering someone said they weren't necessarily going to be any harder than those in Diamond Mine {dizzy}:biggrin: Now I'm stumped on getting that darned fluffle into his cage - doesn't seem to be hungry or thirsty, that's for sure {yolkfolk}:tired:

#5699327 May 2007

wow you got the CD puzzle? {yolkfolk}:clap:

can't think which Zzz you mean... altho there's probably a few candidates. :tongue:

#5699427 May 2007

It was a hunch {yolkfolk}:music: ... Chilli Peppers or All Saints by the way lol?

Up to 57 now and with Dizzy safe and sound. But who or what are they for...

I have to say this must have been an immense undertaking. I'm having nightmares just contemplating how long this would have taken to load up by tape on my old Amstrad! {yolkfolk}:eek:

#5699527 May 2007

I don't think the tape wouldv'e coped lol, Still you're doing better than me :tongue:

#5699627 May 2007

Chilli's of course! tsk!

the game kind of grew really. when i started it i never planned for it to be so big.

you've no idea how long it takes to think of things to fill every room. not just all the puzzles, but all the detail to fill the rooms that are just there for scenery.

#5699727 May 2007

I've got nothing but admiration and gratitude. I've no idea how much sleep I'm going to lose trying to finish it all!

I'm currently stumped by: Aslan and the Witch, the Troll, the Plug, the Rusty Chest, the Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter, Denzil at the sea and Dylan at the quarry. There's probably more but my brain hurts. I've got a sinking feeling I'm nowhere near finished! :surprise:

Talking of sinking, one of the preview screenshots in earlier threads was a room called 'Below Decks' - did that make it into the final version?
