I'm stuck trying to get the cannon ball out of the cage on the ship. I combined the cork screw with the rope but can't use it anywhere. Thanks
Richard

Richard,

Let's wait for someone playing the game.

ok MaG will do. I like the game kinda hard.
Richard

Hi, Mag. Will you be doing a walkthrough for this game? I'm not able to figure things out like my 10 year old grandson can do. LOL
Sandy

Richard.

Sandy, Still have the flu and hands (muscles, bones, everything not tied down) shake. When I can hold the mouse where I want it I will download the game.
I'm sure others can help you, if you post.

I hope your feeling better real soon MaG,take your time I have other games to play.
Richard

Try shooting a pile of glitter at her.

Finally made it off the ship. Thanks Shootist.
Richard

Mag, I'm so sorry that you don't feel well. Sounds like you have a "bug" in your system. I sure hope that you feel better soon. Chicken Soup can do wonders for you. LOL
Sandy

Thanks, Sandy.

Hi, fellow boomers. I have opened the box (in the ship's cabin) using my hairpin. Now I'm faced with the "Lock puzzle". Has anybody done that and already beaten that puzzle? If SO,I would appreciate knowing how that's done.
Also, I know that all of our fellow boomers wish MAG a speedy recovery.
Sandy

You need to push the hairpin all the way to the right. You have to weave your way through. The hairpin dosen't bend.

You read the piece of paper, right?

- The right symbol you get from Mary. Of course, only one symbol makes any sense even if you don't know the answer.

- The middle symbol comes from the mirror. The three missing words are probably "on the mirror."

- I got the left symbol just by scrolling through the options after setting the other two symbols correctly.

I'm currently stuck in Chapter 3 trying (I think) to clean a window.

SWC

Hi to all

Have anyone found a way to get rid of the Petra?(In the chapter named something like Friends and Foes) I think I have tried everything, but obviously havent

Get well soon, Mag Im new here, but you have been my unknowing hero for years *ggg*

Greetings from snowy Denmark

This one is a little obscure. The solution involves a catapult.

SWC

Thanks everyone for the help offered on this thread!

Good to see you posting, SWC.

to GameBoomers, FrkBrok.

Thank you SWC - I figured it out. Had over looked something of course ;O)

Hi, new guy here.

I need some tips on the table puzzle in Chapter 4. I'm not even sure what my goal is... Any help would be appreciated!

I'm new here either and need same help. Don't know/understand the table puzzle. And also having trouble with another puzzle: Help, please!.

OK I solved the table puzzle with the help of my girlfriend who has seen similar puzzles before. Let's see if I can solve the puzzle of how to post hints. :)


I can't help with your second part because I'm still looking for materials :)

If you haven't figured out how to polish the ice Petra may have something that would help.

I'm actually a little farther along than that. I'm an intern on the submarine, and I can't figure out what to do next. I can't pull the lever, I can't clean the window, and I can't get Critter on board.

SWC

SWC, how did you get inside the submarine. Been trying but can't get in.
Richard

There's something Nate refuses to do, so you have to use Critter instead.

SWC

From inside the engine room your next step is to .

More explicit solution:

How do I sign on as a crew member so I can get in the engine room. thanks
richard

You have to create an opening. This is actually the puzzle the hint I gave before applies to.

I'm still confused about where I'm stuck. I have a canister of water, and it and the newspaper don't do anything useful. I don't see any cleaning supplies anywhere.

SWC

Got in the engine room. Thanks
Richard

I should point out I'm playing on Normal so that might be the difference, but here goes, re: engine room

I figured it out. It turns out this is one of the places where Normal differs from Hard:



SWC

Interesting, thanks for the update.

I'm spinning my wheels in Chap 4. Think I need to give my brain a break.

Ya same here and it seems color needed to be blended carefully! That really hard which I'm stuck here also!

Alright painting is solved and it doesn't have to perfect or color blending (see below)

Thanks for answering my question about the lockbox puzzle, Cathy. It took awhile to get it right, but I finally beat it.
Sandy

Has anyone gotten past the Chapter 4 painting puzzle yet? Is there a trick to it, or is the game just incredibly picky? Do you paint the table? Do you paint the background (and if so, which color)?

I've painted the picture ten times now, and my enthusiasm for painting it again is pretty close to zero.

SWC

I've cleaned the window in the engine room and only have the canister of cold sea water and have no idea what to do with it or what to do next. I've obviously missed something but can't think what. I'm pretty sure \i've been everywhere with both Nate and Critter carrying it and just cannot figure it out. Help

I think you have to

Hope that was it - I will try and play it again - so many things are happening in this game

How do you GET to paint the picture? I have just finished the game (yeah, playing none stop - there is a snow storm in Denmark these days ) and I couldnt even get the angel picture off the wall???


Oookay - figured it out

I figured that out, about the "star" points, but no matter what, I can't seam to "light" my way in this puzzle. Is there an especific orther to do it? Do all the "points" need to be pressed first or do they need to be pressed in a certain order? All I know is that I have rotated the 3 circles at least 3000 times each!!! I'm stuck in this puzzle for 3 days now!!!

Uruboo - you have to


Hope that helps

Thanx FrkBrok it was doing my head in!
I'm sure I'll be back here in the next few days...wish I didn't have to work!
I looooove this game...wish there were more like it round.

I need a nudge! I am trying to get out of jail and keep trying to use the hose with the corkscrew but it won't let me, due to the fact it would make to much noise with the chain going over the pipe. I can't separate the corkscrew (at least I don't know how to do it) all I have left is the compact and a couple of noise makers.

Thanks in advance! Great game

I'm stuck on the table puzzle to.
Richard

Read my post made to Dragonchasers, it's leads to the answer!

If you talking table from top floor then read below:

As far as I remember, you have to

It sounds like UruBoo is playing on Hard. For that case:


SWC

Thanks FryBrok!!!
I will try that and see if I can get out of jail.

Sorry, can't delete the post so I'm editing it. I'm moving forward again and my previous post was such a ramble and non-specific that I'm wiping it out.

Would anybody have a screen shot of the table puzzle in chapter 4. thanks
Richard

On the way, Richard.
I missed getting a better picture of the tower part.

Thanks MaG Great.
I still can't figure out how to do the puzzle if you have a save I sure would like it. thanks
MaG.
Richard

Believe it or not, I'm still trying to get that cannonball out of the cage in order to use it on the cannon in chapter one on the ship. I have tried to combine everything in my inventory in every way possible to get that cannonball. Of course, I'm missing something here. Can someone lend me a hand here so that I can progress in this game. I would be much obliged.
Sandy

BTW, I hope you are feeling better by now, Mag

Richard,

Sorry - no saves since I was just playing all over.
Didn't have any problem with that table puzzle.
There are several steps to that puzzle - I didn't write anything down yet since I will replay sometime later.
- start with clicking on the buttons that look like the points of the star at center. That should light up and Nate will say something.
- click to turn the outer ring until some of those lines connect to the center. It will turn red and Nate will say something.
- do the middle ring.
- then do the inner ring.
Now the central cylinder comes up.

You need to look for 5 lines similar to the ones shown outside on the cylinder. Click the appropriate button.


Sandy - Check your e-mail.
No - still sickiepoo.

Got it right away didn't have the sound on. Thanks
MaG.
Richard

Great, Richard! Have fun.

Sandy - you okay now?

Hi Sanford

You have to

Hope that helped - Brok

Thanks for the hint,FrkBrok. My problem is that I can't fire at anything because I don't have "ammunition" for the cannon. I assume this ammunition is the cannonball which is still stuck in the cage. And what is the "ork" you have mentioned? How do I get that cannonball?
Thanks,
Sandy

YAY! I finally did it. I put the cotton ball in the cannon, and fired again (as you stated). The "blast" pushed the cannonball out of the bars of the cage. Now I'm moving along, thanks to YOU.

I'm jus fine, Mag. I just hope that YOU are feeling much better by now. Remember, that Chicken Soup is the best cure for a bad cold. LOL
Sandy

Sandy,

I sent you 3 chapters that I have written - please check your e-mail.

Sandy you don't need the cannon ball in the cage. Did you use the cotton in the cannon.
Richard

Thanks so much, Mag. You ARE the BEST.
Sandy


Richard, with a little help from all of you, I put the cotton into the cannon, and from there I figured out the rest. Thanks so much.
Sandy

I was not able to take the ship out of the bottle (in the ship's cabin) so I couldn't do another dialogue with "Mary", but thanks to MAG, i was able to put the symbols in the right order anyway to open the hatch and move on. Happy Gaming.
Sandy

MaG do you have a WT for chapter 4. Thanks
Richard

On the way Richard. No pictures added though.

Thanks MaG really needed it.
Richard

I'm going bonkers with the star point puzzle. I've looked at the walkthrough and all the postings on here, got the 5 correct triangles lit and therefore the inner-most circle also lights up....the very small circle which isn't actually part of the maze. I've twiddled around and around but cannot get the outer circle to light up let alone the others. I did fiddle with it as Critter so now have no idea what the original starting positions were. Does that make any difference? I just keep turning and turning to no avail. HELP!

No - the starting position doesn't really matters as long as you light up each ring.

The wt states only the numbers of clicks and position when you start from not touching the puzzle first.
Try clicking each ring until they light up and then work from there until all rings are red.

OK now I'm totally confused. I think I'm playing in hard mode. Finally got the maze to light up and the cylinder to rise. I then got the hand icon and picked up the "dull and tarnished" cylinder. There were no lit up symbols as in the WT. No odd shaped piece of metal. I tried putting the cylinder back onto the table and can't so I have no idea what to do now.

To pick up the metal piece - you should click-look at the secret compartment on that table. See also if you have the metal piece in your inventory. Keep us posted.

Phew. Got the odd shaped piece of metal. Had to give the cylinder to Critter and he was able to put it back. But.....there were no symbols as in the WT. The squares were just about visible but no lines in them. Anyway I'm there now thanks to the pics in your WT. Without those I wouldn't have had any clue as to which buttons to press as the cylinder was not lit up.

At least you're moving forward now. Enjoy the game.

Ok guy's, I finished the game on normal difficulty so I thought why not give it a go on hard.

Sailed through the first chapter with little problem and now find myself totally stuck in chapter two. Santa will not make his appointed rounds.

I've exhausted every conversation path available. Checked every hot spot I can find but without the hourglass and sock I'm at a dead end. I Would certainly appreciate some suggestions please

I thought there was a ball of yarn on the chair beside the fireplace - can you knit a sock or something the like?

-----------
I found a walkthrough here
that states:
Hang the STOCKING (from Petra at the Ice Sheet) on the right hook at the top of the fireplace.
Try to walk out the door to start the cut scene.
Click the STOCKING above the fireplace to retrieve it and the PACKAGE it was containing.
Open the PACKAGE to find the HOURGLASS and the WRAPPING PAPER.

Thanks MaG, it appears to be a totally different game in hard mode. Probably much to hard for my limited brain power.

Oh - I guess sometime I have to play the game in hard mode then. I will have to redownload the game after the holidays.
Hopefully that walkthrough is hard mode and that can get you through.
