Thanks! lol I tried hitting nearly everything in sight with those nuts to get past that point but somehow happened to overlook that rock. The hint is quite subtle as the sign just says tread carefully and don't make loud noises.

Cool Game, ; )!! I wonna be so good that you are :D

@Translucense: Heh, I guess the "tread carefully" part might be misleading; the player might think about walking on a certain tile rather than using their tool. Maybe if I think of a better hint I'll change it.

@FromFinland: Thanks for your comments! The game's far from perfect, but I feel the gameplay (puzzles) were the strong point. It just takes a bit of creative thinking and some eventing to make them. I'm sure you can do as well, or better, if you keep messing with the program.

I simply loved this game :D The puzzles were awesome and well executed. I got the unlockable character and finally got to use those thief's scrolls, yay. Blitz moves were quite fun too. I enjoy games like this which make you think. Good job!

I'm eagerly awaiting your next game SC :)

"use the green pad to get to your goal" what is supposed to mean? i really can't figure out.. huhu.. i've tried everything.. i've read a previous post saying that u need a tool to solve this one.. what is the "tool" exactly? a nut? i've already have it.. or it is something else.. ?

sory..i'm not good in English.. anyway.. this game is awesome.. i really hope to see the ending.. but first i need to solve this one..

Thanks, Translucense. Don't worry, I'm working hard on the next project.

@saltandpaper: The green pad isn't the tool I mentioned (the tools are your nuts). It's an object that can be found on the map. Try looking around the mountain area and see if anything pops out to you that resembles a "green pad". It should be in the first section, where the cave entrance is. Use your tools on that to proceed.

oo i see.. thank you.. i'm looking now

Hmm, I'll give this a look

I'm not into puzzle games so much however I like RPG's so, how can I resist?

Hi I like your game a lot. I have a question though. I don't know how to do the spoiler thing so I'll try to be vague. I'm in the water in the secret place looking for that thing she wants. I feel like I've inspected all the corners and it won't let me bomb anything. It also won't let me get out. I'm almost out of SP potion so I'm becoming concerned. Do I just keep fighting till someone drops it? Can't save here either, which is unfortunate.

Hah, nevermind I found it.

Ahh. There is a hidden chest in the water; you need to look closely, because it's a little hard to find. It's close to where the rightmost cart tracks drops you off.

But also having a monster drop it, in case you can't find it, is a good idea. I'll add that in.

And for future reference, spoiler tags are [ spoiler ][ /spoiler ].

Hey I was modifying that I found it right when you were responding (so quickly!). Yeah it might be nice if someone hasn't found it by 10 or 15 random encounters it gets dropped because one starts getting a bit panicky about even searching and using up the last of ones potions.

This is a very fun game. I've been playing for 8 hours and I'm still not done. I'd like to think that's because I'm thorough and not because I'm dumb.

I need some help after getting into the sewers. I am at the beginning with steel doors to the north, a barred door to the south and a path that leads to spikes to the east. I can't figure out how to proceed.

Thank you!

On that map, there's a secret switch that opens the barred door. Search for a tile on the ground that looks different from the others.

Thank you! I don't know how I missed that tile.

I am very much enjoying your game!

I don't know why I am having so much trouble navigating the sewers. I got thru the barred gate as you said and went south. Found the and went east to the room with 2 switches and a mouse. Copain wants to help the mouse. How? And what do I do after that?

You have to figure out a way to activate both switches simultaneously. You might not think of the solution immediately, as it's a, you could say, resourceful way of using something you have.

Thank you again!

Now for the 3rd time I am stuck-I feel like such a dunce, but how did I get so far on my own before this? I got thru the steel door near the sewer entance only to come to a mirror I can't move. Then I went back and east & thru the barred door to the east and saw a red switch. Can't figure it out. Went thru the gate to the right of the red switch and it closed. Went thru the first open door on left, threw the switch, went thru the next door on the right and figured out using the blue statue to get thru the door to the north. Now what? Can't figure out where to put the grey statue or what to do with the mirror outside the double doors. I have the third tool but can't use it on the mirror. I am stuck in that hallway and can't move forward or back.

I must be tired-time for bed, will try to figure it out tomorrow (but wouldn't mind a hint!)

Seems like people need a strategy guide for this game. lol

I don't wanna give this away so

@patti: Ah, you're in probably the most challenging switch room in the game. I have to say, the sewers was my best dungeon, in terms of puzzles and difficulty level :)

The chess pieces are actually color-coded. The dark piece right by the entrance actually sets off the switch north of the bridge. You'll need to find a different one to pull onto the light, white one.



@ITG_Freak: Haha, it does seem like interest level is perking up and people are getting stuck in dungeons again. I'm rather busy, though, but I wouldn't mind if someone else decided to write up a short walkthrough for me.

@twelvestarfish13: It's a little unclear where you are; have you entered the caves yet, or are you still stuck outside on the mountain? If you've hit the green pad correctly (a message will pop up), you should continue and take the regular path, which will eventually lead to the entrance of the caves.

i'm stuck outside the mountain and i already tried following the regular path although i remember no message popping up and i can't go past the waterfall.

The game is awesome but, i really cant figure out where the red hooded guy is, i spoke to all the NPC-s and still nothing. Can someone give a detailed guide from when you first see him until you find him please?

You need to visit certain places in order. First, talk to one of the masters in Moreina City. He'll mention the next location; go there, find an NPC, and he'll lead you to the next. Eventually, you should be told the final clue to his location.

Here's the order of places to go:

Oh, i see it in Amaranthia. Looks cool :)
Download it now

Ok, i must be really dull, i dont get what the masters are saying..



Can you be a little more specific please?

Sorry for the double post.

Ah, sorry. There's also an NPC at the very entrance of Moreina you must speak with before you talk to the masters. That's poor planning on my part, I shouldn't have made it necessary. I'll fix that.

i have readed all messages posted here but i don't understand at what i must throw with nuts
throw the nuts to the tree with sign or rock? can you mark places with where i better stand to throw the nuts

but this game is really one of most best RPG maker game i've seen! congrats! =)

Here's a hint, the object is something submerged in the swampy water near the bottom island with the tree. Sorry it's a little hard to make out.



And an update!
Version 1.6 is out, with a couple of minor bugs fixed and better hints for puzzles or general direction.
