Hi there! This is my first post here so be gentle to this newbie :wink:
I haven't read through this thread completely because I do not want to spoil the rest of the game for me but I do have questions as I am stumped.
[spoiler]I'm in the first section of TOS and have just gotten the scuba gear from the pirate. How do I get past the shark?
Also, what do I do with the balloon? If I am supposed to use it before the shark what should I do with it? (don't tell me if I am supposed to use it after the shark).
The only things I am not able to figure out so far (or at least that I can think of) are the stuck elevator (can it be used at all?) and the weather caller (I've used the oil on it, what next?)
I have the castle flag but don't know what to do with it, please let me know (unless I am supposed to use it after the shark, then don't tell me).
Oh, also, I have collected 15 coins. Are there more coins to be found before the shark?[/spoiler]
Does this forum have anything similar to the SPOILER tag?
Thanks for a great game/forum/DizzyAGE, and any help greatly appreciated
Norm
PS I think I read that there is supposed to be a help-section on https://www.yolkfolk.com/tos but I couldn't find it. HELP!
this is the walkthrough, done in a way that guides you through: https://www.yolkfolk.com/tos/guide.php
also, there isn't a SPOILER tag, however most of us tend to use the 'white text colour' tag: like this, which tends to do the same thing. :smile:
Cool! Thanks delta {yolkfolk}:clap:
EDIT
IGNORE THIS MESSAGE! I FIGURED IT OUT! (A big Duh!)
Hi there. It's me again :wink:
I'm stuck (again) and became stumped quicker now than before :sad:
I'm in Act2, at the top of the giant gasser (geyser) and am able to jump onto the top left limb on the tree ... but apparently I can't jump over to the ledge! What am I doing wrong? Did I miss something from below? (can't go back down).
The walkthrough mentioned above doesn't address this particular issue. (BTW I really like the way the "walkthrough" is implemented. Good job!)
Is it a question of being pixel-perfect when jumping? (Argh! I've been jumping for 2 hours already!)
Thanks again!

Are you right at the top of the geyser or only half way up? Or to put it another way, has the screen shaken yet?
If you're at the top you need to jump right, not left, there's a small outcrop to stand on and then it's up to the nest and a little bit of cloud hopping.
I'm stuck in Act III - and I'm trying to write this without giving away more spoilers than is absolutely necessary. I've gotten the rat doing his task and I've managed to carve what needed to be carved. I figure when the rat has performed his task the guards will nip off, I can use the "carved item" on the table and when they come back, they'll start fighting. Problem is the rat is taking forever. What am I missing?
To Vials:
There is a way to trick the evil witch. She won't let you go too far, but pay attention close to the cauldron, when she's not watching :smile:
To Jabie:
If you have the carved thing, it's your turn to use it. Try to distract the guards, at least for a second, and when they're not watching...
Then, if the rat is working, get your gear and be ready.
If you need more help, let me know.

Nice maps, Slider!
And quite a treasure spoiler... :smile:
OK, I'm stuck on Act 4.
Not sure if I've made a complete mess of things here or not, but I've just dealt with the witch.....I went onto the next screen and found some items and put them all into the cauldron....can't seem to get them back now, and apparently I need the broken heart? (that was one of the items I put in the cauldron).
I tried the 'totem pole' puzzle but couldn't work out how to use the middle one, Dizzy just said he coudn't reach it. {dizzy}:huh:
I escaped from the witch's lair by opening a passage underneath it, jumping over a lava pit and then was stuck in an 'endless maze' room for a bit which I somehow escaped from, but now I can't get back to the witch's lair to get the corkscrew. I think I need to water the enchanted tree, but every time I try to fill the bucket, Dizzy just says that the water is too muddy or smells funny.
HELP!!!!
OK....just reloaded one of my old saves and I've solved a couple of problems...
I worked out the totem puzzle using the candle holder :teethy:
Also worked out that if I make a mistake with putting things in the cauldron, I can just flush it to get the items back :teethy:
Still haven't got a clue where to get clean water to give to the enchanted tree though {dizzy}:huh: {dizzy}:huh: The water by the skeleton fisherman is too muddy, the water in the well is too muddy, the water at the underground beach is too muddy, and the little pool of water nearby T.H apparently 'smells funny'. I'm completely out of ideas. {dizzy}:huh:

unless you discover a bug that everyone else missed so far

I believe I have found some bug once. I'm not sure, maybe it actually wasn't really a dead end, but once I got caught by the witch witout having left my items in the enchanted forest. After I got rid of the witch, my inventory was empty. But, as I said, I'm no sure - maybe e.g. the crowbar reappeared in its place?
How, by Zak's beard, do you get that diamond at the very top left of the castle? You know the one, just to the left of the bats in the clouds. {yolkfolk}:scratch:
If I understand which one you mean: you have to move (carefully!) along the steep roof until you're standing at its edge (more or less on one level with the cloud). When you jump from this spot, you'll be able to reach the cloud and go further for the diamond.
Sorry to be such a n00b but I only just discovered TOS the other day!
I've been really impressed, it's so authentic, just like playing the classic games.
I'm afraid I'm stuck in act 1! So far I have (highlight to reveal)
Built the boat, got rid of the shark
Now I need to make it windy. I have the powder and oil can but need to get into the weather tower. I can't for the life of me find the way in! I thought I'd have to jump on some clouds from "the top of the castle" screen but they all seem too far away.
Please can someone guide me how to get there {yolkfolk}:crazy:
Many thanks

I figured it our myself!
From a cloud on "the top of the castle" screen, drop down to the screen below. You will land on another cloud and can hop over to the weather station from there.
I've now quickly zoomed through Act II and just made it out of the cage in Act III
I am a happy egg {yolkfolk}:yahoo:
