MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA forget what i pm'd Grandad i now have 67, my persistence paid off - so be persistent {yolkfolk}:clap:

[/quote]

That should be 68 {yolkfolk}:joy:

HAHAHAHAH I FINISHED!!!!! WITH A FLOURISH. Thanks Grandad that ending was was great fun once i got it!!! The warehouse was such a time/life saver so glad you put that in {yolkfolk}:clap:
Anyway Grandad as usual a fabulous game to play, loved it so much i'm off to do it all over again. Thanks again Grandad for allowing me to waste so much time & for remembering to re-stock the vody {yolkfolk}:clap: {yolkfolk}:cheers: {yolkfolk}:clap: {yolkfolk}:cheers: {yolkfolk}:clap: {yolkfolk}:cheers:

My problem is that I never did find the green book!!! I got the butterfly net so have tried around there but no luck. I’ll just hope that Grandad takes pity on me {dizzy}:lookup:

Well done that woman {yolkfolk}:clap: Both myself and the vodka industry thanks you for your support {yolkfolk}:cheers:
Does that mean I can ignore the PM and I didn't "make a tiny error" with the knights and doggie?

Sparkles: when you arrive in the green (+white) area, immediately jump left to land on the top ledge. Then walk left into the next room and slowly walk right til you are just in the 'starting' room. Save the game and the jump right so that you just miss the little ledge under the main right ledge and land in the secret cave. Walk right into the area with the book. Check all the rocks to find 'a loose one'. :tup:

Finished too, but I have mixed feelings. The plot game and riddles are great as always, but technically meh. A lot of bugs from beginning (I still remember that stool from library), disappearing items, double items etc... but I'm glad it's over :teethy:

Thanks for reminding me about the stool bug Chlodnik - you're never going to let me forget that one little lapse in memory, are you. :wall:  

My excuse for the inventory hiccups is that I 'borrowed' that coding from someone else's game ages ago and have no idea how it functions, but thought that it only happened when a character died and respawned, so have no idea how to fix it.

Still, on the plus side the 'gaming experience' was up to my normal standards of filth, so I'll count this game as another success {yolkfolk}:joy:

Thanks for the immense help grandad. Finally found the green book {yolkfolk}:clap:
Now I just have to find the last egg (in the yolkfolk area I think) and then I can start bonking, so to speak 🤣

Thanks for all your brilliant help Quiggie but I got it wrong! I'd got all the easter eggs in the yolkfolk bit. It's the one in the red area that I can't find. Other than the vicar, there's nothing to react with. If anyone is willing to offer a hint I'd be o grateful.

@sparkles-49 Oh no i'll have to pm you with this its hard to hint.

I've come across a grave which reads 'Forgive them I sincerely beg for screwing up the easter eggs' - does this mean I've already missed an easter egg and therefore can't access the secret game?

Thanks for your ever generous help Quiggie. Sadly I didn’t have an early save and you guessed it, I started yet again :cry:
Anyway, the upside is that having done it all several times before, it’s all much quicker. I just can’t wait to get to the second part of the game {dizzy}:biggrin:

Not necessarily just make sure you get all 3 characters to read ALL the books in the library & read the gravestone.

Extra hint nowt to do with that grave bit when you come across other graves make sure you do a save before starting - there is order to Grandads chaos {yolkfolk}:scratch:

I see, thanks Quiggie. Am I missing some way to flip between characters? As I can only play as Dizzy so far. Also, did anyone else notice that when the genie gives you the empty wine bottle, it's invisible? (Making it very hard to find it again...)

Once you’ve completed the genie you should get yourself down those mines, also keep wine/empty in warehouse till needed!

The genie doesn't give you the empty winebottle. Dizzy keeps it in his inventory after filling the chalice and saying 'the bottle's empty' :lol:

Having enlisted Dora's help in the maze, I've just got one character through the screen with 5 lasers (the ones where you need two characters to press buttons simultaneously to 'mix' the colours). So I've got Dora through on her own, but I can't find a way to deactivate those 5 lasers and bring the other two through to help (into a room with a red/yellow button and a red/yellow laser). Any hints please?

Oh dear god no! not another bug - you're not supposed to get past the first set of coloured beams without Daisy's help - one to stand in the cage after pressing the right button and the other to gradually move through the beams one at a time - don't tell me that you did that bit with Dizzy on his own! - and if so, how?

You need to activate Daisy before activating Dora otherwise you won't get all three characters ...and I'm very sorry but it's 'start again' time :tdown:

Cause if you time it right and standing in the right place when you hit the button and quickly move...you can get past the bar as it's coming up. That's what I did first time round, I thought that's what we were meant to do (I never actioned the first poster on my first play through lol)

No, I did summon Daisy first to help with the first set of lasers. Then when I got to the screen where Dizzy and daisy have to stand on adjacent lasers to open access to the button, I called Dora to come and help as a third person was needed.
Where I’m stuck is the subsequent puzzle; where Dizzy and Daisy stand in two cages to combine the colours to deactivate the corresponding laser. I took Dora through, but the lasers all reactivate leaving Dizzy and Daisy on one side, Dora on the other. Dora can proceed to the next screen where there are 2 more lasers/2 more cages.

I do what boo did.A tactic employed in many a Grandad game,surprised more haven't cottoned on to this little glitch.
Doing my head in this one.I've rage uninstalled it half a dozen times but it nags at me to have another try.
Been through this thread so many times and still stuck.So many questions but my main annoyance is where is this crowbar I've heard tell of?
