Dizzy and the Ring of Zaks (HELP THREAD)

Yes. Number two of three is in the right tower bedroom.

many thanks for the great tip, SnTrooper {yolkfolk}:thumb:

Stuck once again {yolkfolk}:puzzled: any help would be great :tup: from where I last left of I have found the secret button in the bedroom, used the key to get in to the living room, used keys form living room to open the two doors, found the third secret button, got the top bit of the scroll, used the branch, used the top bit of the scroll, gave Theodore 5 stars, used the fire spell, got zaks ring and took it Theodore??? Now Theodore wants 30 stars, I now have 25 stars, I know there are more stars in the castle, but I still can’t seem to get them dame keys out of the deer’s mouth {yolkfolk}:crazy: I have found all three secret switches and I can’t seem to get any further in the castle {yolkfolk}:scratch:

I really need to finish this truly epic dizzy game; any help would be greatly appreciated

Many thanks, van duff {yolkfolk}:cheers:

http://t.imgbox.com/acpqhqad.jpg items I have left

Found the poker, got the keys, got pogie to the party, got the old pirate dizzy to the party with the rum, gave daisy the key and got her to the party, now only three stars to find??? I am pretty much sure I have not missed any through the game, is there a way to open the big gate outside the castle, and is it possible to get past the piranhas.

Many thanks, van duff {yolkfolk}:cheers:

I think these are all the hard to find/out of the way stars:

~ Behind leaves at top of tree in graveyard
~ In clouds above Theo (light lamp at grave first)
~ Behind seaweed in water under graveyard
~ Behind leaves on roof of the restaurant
~ In Duncan's hidden cellar
~ In room beneath mine track past crusher (swim up to hidden entrance)
~ In hidden maze through fake wall (past and above crusher)
~ On the cloud that the windmill blew to the left when it was fixed
~ In the warehouse on the left side of the mine (use the hammer to open trapdoor)

I think all the rest are in screens that you have to go through to get everyone to the party.

snTrooper you are truly a living legend in my book bro :tup: I really appreciate all the help you have given me, if it was not for guys like you and trz I am sure I would still be banging my head against a padded wall in some type off government paid insane asylum {yolkfolk}:tongue: thanks again for the star locations, snTrooper :tup: that was truly awesome of you to take the time to write out all them locations and help out a fellow dizzy fan {yolkfolk}:yo: you the man {yolkfolk}:cheers:

any help would be great, I must have tried to jump on this tree from every angle and from ever cloud, and I still don’t seem to be able to get anywhere apart from the branch that lets me get up to the higher ledge {yolkfolk}:scratch: do you know wich part of this troublesome tree I am supposed to jump on {yolkfolk}:crazy:

Thanks again, van duff {yolkfolk}:cheers:

http://t.imgbox.com/abzdd1U6.jpg I assume this was the tree you was referring to snTrooper, behind leaves at top of graveyard,

just my luck {yolkfolk}:rofl: why am I not surprised that I have been searching the wrong tree :lol: many thanks snTrooper {yolkfolk}:thumb: i should have this epic little game in the bag by this weekend :cool: thanks again for the great tip snTrooper {yolkfolk}:cheers:

Can anyone help me, been trying this for a few days, but I am already stuck and can't move on {yolkfolk}:redfaced: . So far all I have found is: hidden Mushroom (used to get onto the bridge), Pike Pole (not used), Empty Pail (not used), Rope (not used), Knife (used for the tobacco), Empty Bucket (not used), Saw (not used), Tobacco (used for obtaining the Pike Pole) and baked goodies. None of them seem to work with anything in the area or can be given to anyone except for the pike pole. Are there any places I need to look for that could be hiding anything? Can't get down the well to remove the branch and neither can I get past the troll at the castle, and neither can I get to the hammer because of the boxes; I've tried everything from the saw to the pike pole for that one. Any help would great.

Been playing the new version but can’t find the new screen. What area should I be looking in?

In railroad cave.

Guess I'm going to need more help. Been all over there and still can not find it.

A few of the puzzles in this game don't really flow for me. I mean, there's no indication at all that you should remove those two bits of fence to find the jump mushroom - it's not signposted whatsoever. In fact, it's implied you're on the right lines when using the rope, as it's the only item which reacts to you trying to use it to climb up. Same with (actually using) the rope for getting Doe's sword, and the subsequent random chance of picking it up. There's also a ridiculous amount of back and forth through largely unavoidable energy loss (bats, flames, spikes, caterpillars). If you need to add an "infinity lives" (sic) option in your menu despite being able to save and load your game, you've screwed up the design somewhere... Also, I know it's been translated from Russian, but the writing and the grammar leave a lot to be desired.

Finally, there's still a bug in the game where, if you load your save whilst on a mine elevator, regardless of where the 'load' places you, you can't use 'up' to jump until you walk onto and off of an elevator again, as the jump button remains bound to moving the elevator and not jumping.

After playing games made by Delta and Lord Dizzy, this leaves a slightly bad taste in my mouth, despite it the competent (if derivative) level design and good looking visuals. I was certainly expecting more from this :(

As an aside, and I would hope on a wholesome site like this it doesn't need pointing out, but this has nothing to do with the game being Russian.

I'm enjoying the game so far, I have had to refer to the help thread once or twice though!

There is an odd bug though where the forged link disappears for no apparent reason. I searched everywhere for it and even checked a walkthrough to check where it is used in case I just didn't remember using it. I've had to load an earlier save to get the broken link again.  Well done on the game!
