Moving along now. Found five flowers after the water was turned on at the Desert House. But the sixth one for the top of the door is still missing. I think we need a wrench (from Roy?) to turn on the outside tap for the missing plant. any ideas on that wrench?

Okay, I sprayed the passageway, the glowbugs lit up the tunnel, and I turned the wheel for the water. I went to the right and looked through the little window to see the water flowing.

I left the tunnel. I went back up to the desert house and nothing. I tried going back down into the tunnel, but the glowbugs have returned to the crate. My spray bottle is gone, and I cannot get another one from Kahleena's dock.

Manx: Where is this new key that you found, and what is the water supposed to do to cause the flowers to appear wherever they are?

It was a round "crank device" and it was on the pipe in the underground room where you turned on the water. Hope you have a saved point close by. When you go up and put the crank in the hole on the white slab, do a trip around the pond picking flowers and turning on the taps. Also inside the house turn on the spigot.

Gamehound, You missed the crank device from close by the wheel. I don't know of any way to get back there other than reloading a safe cos I did exactly the same as you the first time I went down there.

Maxman, you're spot on, I got the wrench from Roy.

Weee major game glitch #1 has been found then. pfft

I keep on overwriting the same save, so I guess I am a bit out of luck.


Gamehound

Did you have to give him something or did you just take it. Can't seem to get if from him

I clicked on him first of all, and then I clicked on the spanner, and he said I could take it.

Do you have all the flowers? I seem to be 1 short.

Got it. Now to get the final flower. Keep checking. Did you turn on the spigot in the house?

Yes, I got the one from the house. I used the crank again to empty the pool and when I stood at the opposite side, and clicked on the pool the cursor changed, so is the last flower in the pool?

No. They are around the pool. There is a leak at the side of the house and a plant is there. There is a tap at the front entrance, the one you can go into, and there is a tap that needs the wrench. they all have flowers. When all six are placed it opens to a room where there is something to be picked up and a hole to go down.

Gamehound, have you found the third number. It is very elusive.

Nope. Both of you are farther along than I was before I came across that glitch. I have to start anew. I will do so tomorrow.

As for now, I am about to fix myself a cocktail. Too stressful to deal with at the moment.

Good luck guys.

JJ7, have you found the fishvessel on the beach yet? Can get rusty metal plate but that is all. Will those blue eels kill us?

Jenny, no Starforce

Okay, I started the game again. I am going to play for the next 15-20 minutes and that is it.

When you first meet up with "Nehu" he takes you to the Spaceport in his ship. Right when you get out of the vehicle you say goodbye, and there is one of those transport vehicles. I noticed it had some characters on it. Sadly, it is the same characters found on the other transport vehicle, so no bother in dealing with it.

Manx: If that metal plate is shaped like a sprocket, try using it on the otherside of the monolith at the desert house (opposite side of where the round key was found).


Gamehound

Thanks Gamehound. I was beginning to think that the third number might have been at the start. Let us know if you find a different one for us.

Hi Manxman,

Yes, I found the metal plate. Use it on that big wheel underground and then put it back on the fish vessel. The blue eel will zap the fish vessel & then you can get in. The undersea journey is really nice. This is a great game.

jj7, thanks, found Getri and looking now for Folkrin. I agree with you, this is a great game. Very addictive even with its frustrating parts. Superb graphics and even the solutions seem logical.

Anyone at the point where they need to save Althera, solved the maps, got the algae/bacteria mixture and now needs to find Putak the nelhi. Where is he?

Manxman, I've visited Dr Jakar and seen the girl in the prison. I've trapped the green lizard at the house but no idea what to do now?

jj7. Does that mean you found the third number for the control panel at Jakhar's house? Where did you find it.
Have you found the room with the maps on the floor and the six prizes of Merick? You need to win each of the prizes and click on the corresponding map on the floor in order of the game.
What's the green lizard about?

Any idea who Putak the nelhi is?

Hi JJ7,
About that plate : the big wheel underground : is it the one that start the water going in the big pipe where the key to start the water in the pool is?

Because I have a problem : I can't get down there
Help.

Chiefette

Manxman, I've been clicking the maps like a lunatic for the past hour, please can you give me the sequence, my brain is fried!
The prizes have 3 buttons each, how does that work.
For the 3rd number, get in the fish vessel and look up.
If you go back to the desert house and go by the gate a lizard appears. Chase it into the house and close the shutters. It's then trapped but no idea what to do with it now.
I don't know who Putak is.

Hi Chiefette, No, the rusty plate is found on the side of the fish vessel, it has nothing to do with the big pipe with the wheel on it that turns on the water.

Exactly where can't you get? Into the tunnel at the desert house or the tunnels with the big wheel?

Hi JJ7.
I did get the plate from the fish vessel.

Where do I have to go next? The tunnels that bring us to the fish vessel?

Thanks for your help.

Chiefette
