no wonder youre so good at giving help grandad, taking notes!
why didnt i think of that? i just wing it! {yolkfolk}:joy:
It's a rather sad habit I picked up from the first Dizzy game I played (Treasure Island) as I tend to replay games and try and figure out the minumum route ...that and I usually forget where I dump stuff when you have loads of items to check out in a huge map :o_o:

still can get past level 2.
I have just mixed the dirt and ahses.

can't remember what mixing these gives you - let me know what it is and i might be able to help
Ive been out and about recently looking to spot some real life Monkey Puzzle Trees - and Ive seen quite a few, theyre more common than I thought...
So, they're more prickly than the average conifer - and they sure might puzzle a climbing monkey - but what has this got to do with ear plugs etc?
I dont get where the legendary connection in CoTM to Monkey Puzzle Trees comes from - is it just me? :wall:
Yes, I did read the book, thank you very much. :tongue:
So where did this idea come from of a tree with a soul of a monkey that could not speak, hear or see evil?
There's no mention of this legend say on Wikipedia? :confused: And the bloke at the botanical gardens gave me a weird look when I asked him too.... :blush:
Well the see/hear/speak no evil philosophy takes the form of monkeys in Japanese Philosophy, so if you make them into puzzles, they are therefore Monkey Puzzles :tongue:
Ah so - very clever, you've taken 2 unrelated stories, made a connection and merged them to create your own unique legend to fit in with the Dizzy story - Eggcellent!!! {yolkfolk}:yahoo:
For those, like me, that care about such things (warning spoilers) - Monkey Puzzles Trees actually originated in Chile, but were not so named as Monkey Puzzles until discovered by an English botantist in Victiorian times - because it looked so prickly, he thought it would 'puzzle a monkey'.
Meanwhile the story of the 3 wise monkeys is completely unrelated and was first documented in 17th Centrury Japan and thought to be brought over to Japan from Chinese legend in the 8th Century
.... Thank you Wikipedia.... {eggs2}:denzil:

Meph – the earplugs are used in the field with the gardener’s hut.
You need to use one of the items got from the wizard in the west field on the wizard’s hut tarot card for the key to open the r/h side of the spiritualist’s hut to get to the field with the gardener’s hut.

The wizard of time.. haven't anything he wants.
Im gonna gag him with electrial tape and steal his stuff... lol
Oh and yeah it was Ashes and dust not dirt.. but that didn't help me much.
And i mixed up a healing potion too.. :tongue:
Nah there ain't any other items for me to collect..
i have.
electrical tape, upturned glass reincarnation spay, spade, earplugs. bucket of water, gemini pendent, sticking plaster, cracker, couple of potions, and some scraps of paper. don't think i have anything else
Also tarot cards i haven't done are Hermit, world and moon, theres a stone with a circles on it, a witch, the time wizard and monkey tress.. there might even been more i can't remember them all.. lol
Tiny little push in the right direction would be much appreciated.. :teethy:
Really struggling with this game, either I've gotten stupid or it twice as difficult as the first chapter .

Tiny little push one; read the book on astronomy about the moon and think of dinner parties.
Tiny little push two; you can’t drink out of an upturned glass, but Doris Stokes would have liked it.
