I need help in getting past the Camoudile in Haven. I can't keep in the pit long enough to have the Mangree throw the fruit at it. Can you help me on this Dadguy?

Hi Duststorm,

Did you check out GB's FAQ notes on this part of the game? Here they are, hope they might help:

Q: I am at the infamous 'Mangree/Camoudile'puzzle...I have a couple of questions.

[1]..How precisely must the wheels be set -- this
'hamhock'of a cursor gives little leeway....

[2]..Must I rush to turn the wheels before the
'ATTACK' sequence…or can I take my time....

[3]..I'm not getting any Mangree action -- why do
you suppose?

A: 1. Not very precisely. I found that experimenting was the best way to know. I rotated the wheel steadily for about 2 seconds for the "long" and just a short chirp for the short. I think it basically just needs to be able to distinguish between short and long. Biggest cause of failure is due to a hand slip where you go up and down instead of around with the wheel.

2. Take your time on the wheels when moving the mangrees around... no rush there. BUT !... when the camoudile falls in the pit, there is a BIG rush to play the poison-throw tone to get him before he climbs out of the pit.

3. The mangrees won't move if they are tired (i.e., you went to a mangree again without resting him at least two moves by the other mangrees). They also seem to not move if there is not a convenient perch open for them (i.e., they only move to certain perches from certain perches).

luck

Hi Duststorm!

Those FAQs are very helpful. There is also a patch that came out that gives you a few more seconds to throw the poison berries. You might try it before trying other solutions. V1.03 is the one you want.

http://games.softpedia.com/progDownload/Myst-Patch-Download-5308.html

Just run the executable to install it.

The other comment is that after you play the tones that cause the Mangree to fall into the pit, start the three tone code immediately (don't wait for him to fall in) and you'll have a better chance to get the poison berry thrown.

If none of this works, you can send me your save file, and I'll be happy to solve it and return it to you. You may want to delete some photos from your in-game camera to reduce the size of the save file. Deleting 10 photos saves 3 MB of file size.

Cheers,

Dadguy
