What am I doing wrong? This is the the third time I've started the game from scratch following MaG:s walkthrough. For some reason I can't get the "crackbeetle" to appear. This time I followed the walkthrough to the letter.

I could really use some suggestions and help.

Hi Don,

I haven't played this game, unfortunately. If you're following MaG's walkthrough to the letter, I wonder what the problem could be. Let's wait and see if anyone has an idea.

Hi Don,

Be sure to have talked about it with Mr. Churchmouse and have clicked on the picture beside Junior.

MaG, I have done exactly as said in the walkthrough. Talked with Mr. Churchmouse and clicked on the picture.

Don,

Just want to verify that you are looking at the correct place. I might not have explained it clearly.

You exit the towngate.
There are usually 2 guards on each side of that arch.
Look at the side (right I believe) that doesn't have a guard.
The green beetle will come out-pop up from one of the leaves.

MaG, There is only one guard on the left side and I have tried both right and left side's.

Can I skip this part and continue with the game?

Yes - you can skip it. It is only for an achievement.
I do not have my saves on this new computer. Sorry.

No Problem, I can't find the save game folder anyway.
