Could someone help in finding secrets here?

The last time I played demo level 2 (I forget what it is called), I only found about 35% secrets. Could someone help me find the rest of them (just hints for now)?

Oh, yeah. For all those who do not know how to show spoilers correctly, this is how you do it:

:mad:SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

This is something that I learned from the Cythera web board.

Ok...I'll spoil that way..but it makes the page horribly long. First of all, I assume you're talking about the River of Fears. There really aren't very many secrets on this level...so I'll just list what I think might qualify.

Spoiler alert*

There is a health stone at the beginning of the level. Leap to the top of the trees and find a water powerup thing on a ledge. Then run along ontop of the water and jump up to the first ledge you see.Blast through the stone to get the heart.
There is the cave with Nimbo
There is an invicibility shield hidden in the rock where you push the stone off the button to get through that first wall.
You have to find a key and figure out a way to get the last wall open in order to leave the area.

That is truly all I can think of! If anyone else wants to add...please do. Maybe we can get a complete list of secrets for at least one of the levels. And this sort of an easy one to do that with.

Actually, I did not ask for a spoiler, :mad: but it seems that I must have miscounted. I have found all of these places before.

Zelda,

A heart-shaped health stone in River of Fears? The one I see is not health, but magic....Hmmmm (ponder). I have %100 secrets there, so I suppose some people have health in their games and some have magic. Wish I had more health.

AM (starting to not like this game..getting way too hard.)

------------------

I agree. I was having great fun, but by the time you reach the Goblin Chief, he's just too hard to defeat with the things that have become available to me, and as far as I know, I've found all the powerups and spells.

I may have missed the tree spell. Does it come from side "side door" or something before you get to the Goblin Chief? It would help me a bunch in the Storm Forest level, too.

------------------

Amorisse...I think you're right. It's a magical storage stone. I'm sorry.

Lord Gwydion...I apologize. You're right, you asked for hints. It's so dang hard to give hints in this game! But I should have read your post more carefully. I'm glad I didn't give anything away to you that you didn't want to know. If you have all those things and are still only getting 90% of the secrets...I'm as confused as you. Maybe you missed a treasure chest or something that counted as a secret.

---Zelda

Lindawing,

The tree trunk spell is what you get for defeating the Goblin Chief...I was able to get a few multi-crystals as someone (I think it was Cats) suggested, and that helped. If you'd like more details, feel free to email me at lisette@sweetness.com and I'll share what I know, which isn't much. At this point, there is Parched Earth, the Labyrinth, or Flash Freeze to choose from for me...all of them impossibly difficult. Maybe the v-blade or ice wall spell folks are talking about would help?

I tried buying more health potion from Rojinko... he took my money but gave me no potion. Is that supposed to be?

------------------

Amorisse,
I have also experienced the problem with buying potions from Rojinko but not actually getting a potion. I believe it's a bug and I've emailed about it to Ben Spees himself, so hopefully it's on the list of things to fix for the next update.

Elizabeth - are you not getting the potions from Rojinko even when he acts as if he sold it to you? He does sometimes say something like "I think you have enough health potion for now" and won't sell you anymore.

Does getting the torches count as a secret? I know you all thought not, but I notice that the game does give you points for each torch. I have been leaving torches alone whn I don't need them so I can go back for them - maybe I should be getting them all? I got only 98% of the Secrets in Central Caverns - the only thing I think I missed was some torches I left alone.

I cannot get through to the big heart in Eastern Reaches. I have tried from all directions, and I have now started blasting each place four or five times. I don't like this aspect of the game - it would be better to have the wall break with the first blast. Help, please - thanks.

Yes, Rojinko behaves as if he's sold me a potion, both in his words and in the fact that I lose coins, but the potion never shows up in my inventory. I think it may be a problem related to how much is in the inventory, because I've only had it happen after I have found the fireball, boomerang, statue, and tree spells.

I pretty sure that the torches don't count as secrets. You may have missed a powerup somewhere or something; those do count as far as I can tell.

As for the heart in Eastern Reaches, this is both a question and a hint: Are you talking about the heart that has a catapult above and to the left of it (and little red button on the same level and to the left of it)?

Yes, Elizabeth - that is the heart - I figured it out, however. Clever.

Cathy

------------------

The potion spell is definitely a bug. You won't be able to buy magic spells later on either. I've been assured that this will be one of the things addressed on the patch. Joy! I'm NOT going back to Flash Freeze without a backup health potion!!!

---Zelda

Hi 😄

I was hoping somebody could help me out in one or all of these areas: Labyrinth, Flash Freeze, and Parched Earth. Has anyone at all made it out of these areas alive?

Also, so many posts here mention an ice pick, ice crystal, ice wall, v blade... Are these things obtainable in levels before the ones I mention above? I've had a major problem with Hangnabit (a bug...not sure if it's a system or software conflict) so I wasn't able to complete it really. Besides coins and ziridium goodies, did I miss major power-ups or spells there?

Thanks in advance!

AM

------------------

Last night I finally (after a great deal of effort and alot of help from a couple topics on the web board) made it through Labyrinth. I'm working on Flash Freeze now. Parched Earth is frustrating; I actually made it to the end of the level once but it took way longer than 5 minutes, so the door at the end was closed. Sigh. I know there are at least a couple people who have made it past Parched Earth, but I don't know for the life of me how. I'm hoping that if there is an update that lets you get lots of health potions that will make it easier. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed...

Oh, about the ice spell and stuff: I gather from what's been said on this board that you get those things in Flash Freeze or past that. I don't think you've missed anything vital in Hangnabit. Or if you have, so did I, cause I ran into that problem you had with the white box too.

Labyrinth is do-able. I found the topics "Dimbo?" and "Lost in Labyrinth" on this board rather helpful. If you get tired of trying to figure it out yourself and just want to move on, try reading those.

Thanks, Amorisse. I've gathered by the comments of others, that I need to gather up all the multi-crystals I can, and then try again. If I can just keep from being killed in the first few seconds, and figure out when to move and when to duck and when to shoot....sigh...

Regarding the health potion from Rojinko, I think that's a problem that Ben is working on.
