Hi...I'm in need of  Please! I just reinstalled URU and Path of the Shell and went through the Cleft once more so I could get to Relto. I have 2 books on the left bookcase, one is a blue book with gold design and the other is a darker blue book with gold and light blue leaves. I do not know where to go first and if one of them is Dni and the other POTS or what. I played URU but do not have any saved games so I'm starting from scratch. I never played the 1st expansion pack. I've been reading the posts and it is my understanding I do not need to replay the whole game to do POTS, is that correct? I'm so confused and I'm hot and I want to SWIM like everyone else!!!!!! Where do I go now? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> Thanx....Ana

Ana, the book on the right is the one you want to use to start playing POTS. The other book is the neighborhood book which you won't need. You might want to make a side trip to the Gahreesen to pick up your KI if you plan on taking in-game screenshots. Have fun.

Thank you very much Arwen...do you know if that takes me to Dni or do I just bypass that all together and straight to POTS? I did link to all 4 lands just to get the 4 books because the bookcase looked so empty. I will probably go and visit the old places and do some stuff, I just really don't want to do the action parts again. I was crying and pulling my hair out the first time around I had to do them! Ana

You're welcome, Ana. If you just use that one book on the right, you'll end up with some more books on the right side of the bookcase. Those you'll need to play POTS. They're not part of To D'ni at all. Right now I'm deciding whether to uninstall the game or play the entire thing from the beginning.

You are incredible Arwen! I don't know how you do it. If I had someone to do the fireflies and the jump on the rock for me I would probably not hesitate to do it again. I really really sucked on those parts. Well, the suns back out and maybe I'll see if I can swim.....thank you so much! Ana

I've had a couple of crashes with my game too, Ana. Fortunately you are right at the beginning of this age, so why not just click on the clip at the bottom of the Age book and delete the age. Then you can go back to the place where you started (with the two linking books) and link back into Er'cana.
There is a shell, which should save your game, on one of the pillars holding up the track which you could use in case your game crashes again. But if it does, I'm not sure if the two cars would still be separated or not, if you went back using that shell...

Hi Jenny, I never made it to the shell, I was still on the tram (but inside the building). I didn't know you could delete a page. You lost me on that part. I went back to the Restoration Building and linked on the book on the left. Is this where I do something? Ana

The first shell is not inside the building--when you come out of the tunnel and see the tracks in front of you, it's on the side of one of the pillars that hold them up (I think it may be to the right, but I'm not sure.) And it's not a page I'm talking about deleting, it's the whole Age. Go back to your Relto and zoom in on the Er'cana book--you will see a clip down at the bottom of the book Click on that and the game will ask you if you are sure you want to delete that Age. If you say "yes", the book will move backwards and the Age will be gone. NOW you can go back to the Restoration Building and use the linking book to the left to start Er'cana again...

And I'm back again! I am stuck in the pellet making section. I have a few questions: When setting the scales do you count the big black line on the bottom as one or do you count 8,6,4 of the short lines going up? Also after you wait 15 minutes and do the blue light, get your pellet and go to the testing area do you have to wait another 15 minutes to see if it was okay? I have done this various different ways and each time when I get to the testing NOTHING happens. There is no pellet and there doesn't appear to be anything to push or do so I jog in circles  and wait and still nothing.....I'm getting a bit  of waiting! Am I doing something wrong? Ana

On each scale, there is a big black line every 5 notches: that is, they read: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11...etc
Once you have made your pellets in the pellet room, click on the blue button to make a pellet roll down into the little receptacle. Click on the pellet and then on the book to take you to the testing machine. Both you and the pellet will be taken there. No need to wait.

I have tried counting the black lines using the bottom one as one or the first one above the red as one and neither has worked. I have to set each one the same correct? All four machines get set to 8, 6, 4, left to right, correct? I've done this 5 times already and I can't get anything to happen when I get to the testing zone.
