Ni Bi Ru

yikes just hit blank wall.after i went in to secret room i go to the big door and do puzzle ok i go to get small key.i go back to secret room but it's not opened .now what do i do?

Maybe I am not understanding. You blasted the hole to enter the secret room earlier.
The small key is by the elevator to the lab.

yes i did and after i get the key and came back i can't get into the room

Are you entering the right side hallway?

yes and those cabinets are in the way.ans i can't move them.yikes.

Let's clarify this (I presumed you have done this already):
- you entered the archive room by opening the metal door with acid at right hallway.
- there are metal cabinets on one wall.
- move the metal cabinet by lever by clicking on the groove on the floor by the left leg of the cabinet. Now, click on the cabinet to move it and expose a secret wall.
- see a crack on that secret wall after using a cramp.
- dynamite the crack. It just made a larger hole.
- catch a rat and combine it with new dynamite and use it on hole.
This should be enough to get you inside the secret room.

yes that is what i did,and i went in.but i need the key after i got the key i went back but it's not opened.that is where i'm at now.

That's weird.
The entrance is just a hole right?
When you were there did you use the light switch and get-read the journal?

yes i did.

I don't know what else to tell you why you can't enter that room. It should be open.
Maybe a replay?

ok.

I checked my saves and they are not labeled. If you want a set - tell me.

thanks ,you would think that once you get in the secret room it would stay open . i just might need those save games.yeah ok and thanks for them

There's saved game here.

Also I sent you some of mine too.

having a hard time downloading save game

Use the ones I mailed.
Open the mail and see if click-hold-drop to desktop will get the attached files onto desktop.

thank you so much for your help. off and running like a oui

Great! Enjoy.

yikes just hit a road bump-just talked to Iris and got the hot dog plain, now i go in the hotel but i can.t see the ketchup on the reception desk.now what ? help ! ?

Billy Bob posted this - see if it works for you:
Went back and bought a hotdog with nothing on it. Go into the hotel and see ketchup on the far end of the counter. Get the ketchup and I believe at this point I went to the man sitting reading the paper. Go to the rear of the hotel, combine the ketchup and hotdog in inventory.


-------------
I also sent you a saved game.

yikes i go in and can't go all the way in one of the villain at counter .and i looked as far as i could but no ketchup any place.? i have the hot dog with nothing on it . now what ? have your saved game but for some reason can't find the place to use it.

Didn't you use a saved game earlier in the problem with the secret room?

In XP, it is in program files, NiBiRu folder.

The ketchup, if I remember correctly is on the right edge of the counter. It might be difficult to see, click on items there and you might hit it.

no i didn't use save you gave me.the villain is standing in the way. is there a way that i can down load the save i want at pcsavegames.com ? or is that to hard .??

Not hard.
If you know the location of the NiBiRu folder now (it might be in C folder) - click on the icon of the one you need to download it. It should be in your download folder afterwards.
Then place the downloaded folder in the NiBiRu folder. Be sure to check the number of the label. Good luck.

thanks for the info i did all that now will that be in the game saves? i don't see it in there . i keep going around and around there should be a easy way to get the save into the save game -like # 20 or so,what do you think ?

Check the numbers. There should be no duplicate numbers for the sets.
Also they should be consecutive numbers.

thanks now what numbers are you talking about? are you talking about the ones that i download ? from on line?BTW i went back to the start -France and played from there and checked every thing even watched on utube. and the game didn't change still stuck at the hotel can't get the ketchup .what do you think ?odd that the place where this game should be is not on my computer.all my old game are very easy to get to.????

In both download and online, you should have 2 files per saved game.
One is save.# and the other is savepic.#

The #'s in your file when those 2 files you downloaded and placed together with the other saved game files hould be in consecutive order and no duplicates.

---------
You might be not in a correct position to access/see the ketchup on the bar. Move around and see if you can get to it.

yes i do -one in save -and savepic # i will see.dose not work.

Did you watch this video walkthrough here and see if you did everything?

yes thats the one and i didn't miss a thing.now what ?

I don't know what else to tell you.
You have the text walkthrough, video walkthrough and 2 sets of saved games at your disposal.

crazy huh .i think i got it fingered out. i had this game -also downloaded from big fish.and now that i switched to that one I haven't had any problems at all.

yikes back at the ruins at the ball puzzle.this has to be the hardest puzzle of all time. is there a saved game for this ?

need a saved game for Ni Bi Ru age of secrets after the balls puzzle .send help soon.

There's a saved game here for the colored balls puzzle - it is save #32 on the page, I believe.

I also sent you a saved game.

thanks so i just click on file 32 is that all i need to do ?

Yes, download the #32 file to get your saved game. If for some reason that saved game doesn't work for you, MaG sent you one too.

I never would have finished this game without following MaG's walkthrough for this puzzle, step by step.

thanks -when i click on it this pops up -starforce copy protion system.what is this also when playing the puzzle how do you know like it sez to click 2r at 12 position.how can you tell if it 12 or 3 or any of the others ?

I am not sure why you would be getting that message about Starforce, which is a form of copy protection on CDs. I would suggest using MaG's saved game as your best/easiest way to get past this puzzle.

thanks you so much,i really like playing the puzzle the solution by drdel.but like i said in playing the game how do you know when you click on 2r at 12 position your on the 12 position or any other position ?

Think of the four radial arms as you would positions on a clock pointing to 12, 3, 6, and 9.

From the walkthrough:

thanks for your patience with me.i see that now you pointed that out to me . i have dyslexia and that makes it hard some times. but getting back to what i said before - when i click on say 2r to move it to say 12 position how can i tell if its 12 or any other? there is no way that i can see .what do you think ?

I am thinking that maybe this video on YouTube will help you - the poster of this video says that he explains the puzzle and then shows how to solve it. Check it out and see if it helps.

I think it's great that you want to try to do the puzzle yourself.

yes thats the one i have been using but he does it less than 10 mims so it's very hard to retain what he has done.he is fast .i'm about 1/3 of the way through it have to do alot of saves.

Good luck! I admire your persistence.

thank you , 1 question - 1R is easy to finger out but 2R ,3R AND 4R I know by clicking rt mouse it will turn rt and so on , but at what point does it start from ? like at 12 ? knowing would be a great help.

As stated by drdel:

Ring:
The rings are mentioned as 1R (innermost), 2R (next ring from innermost, 3R (middlemost ring), 4R (second from outermost) and OR (outer ring).
Note that OR has the extra space to park a ball.

The step by step stated the positions like a clock - 12 o'clock, 3, o'clock, 6 o clock and 9 o'clock.

When you are told to L click and R click the mouse - it will move the rings clockwise or counterclockwise.

You can do the clicks anywhere on the STATED ring and the SPECIFIED number of times and CORRECT left or right click. This will turn it correctly. Then you will do the procedure for the balls in the stated clock position.



For example: R mouse click 1R. At 3 o’clock position move all the balls towards the center
Right click anywhere on the innermost ring/center. It should turn once.
Then click on the balls that are at 3 o'clock position so that they move to the center. Since there should be an empty space at center now, you can move the balls that are innermost to outermost.

Do this step by step slowly and follow each step (maybe cross it off so that you won't skip a step).

Thank you, MaG. And years ago when I followed the walkthrough steps for this puzzle, I did indeed put a check mark after each step I completed.

thanks guys for the info. going slowly - just about half way done.

thanks , but i still don't know when i click on say 1R to go to 12 position -will it take 1 click or 2 or more its hard to tell no? hope i don't run out of save spots ..

click on 1R ----- The step that says left or right click at a specified row has a period at the end. That means that step is done when the action is completed to turn the ring.
to go to position ----------The next sentence is then the action for the balls at a specified position (like the clock position).

So in your post: 1R to go to 12 position
Click row 1 once.
Then go to the balls at 12 o'clock position and do what is stated in the step by step.

thank you so much ,that i did not know again thanks .

I checked the walkthrough again and noted that the outer ring is turned not by number of clicks but by clock position.

thanks guys ,thanks to ya i got the Prism ! now off and running like a wild dog.

Great and congrats! Enjoy the rest of the game.

Very impressive!

yes this is a great game for sure.

back again ,on the last puzzle,it sez that this is a random puzzle -ok what is the point ? or how do i go about solving it ???

As stated in the walkthrough: The aim of the slider puzzle is to place the tiles with glyphs over the identical glyphs hidden under the tiles.

You move tile to the empty space to see what glyph is under the tile.
Then find the tile that match that glyph and place it on top of it.
Do this for all the tiles.

great thank you -just 1 question - if i go back to my save game to start over does it change the puzzle glyphs under the tiles??

I can't remember that but if it is possible to save when you already started the puzzle - that might hold the glyphs to that original arrangement.

---------
It might be possible since I checked my saves and see that I have a start of puzzle and end of puzzle.

thanks,i do have a save just after i put the amulet in. i have not moved any tiles. well i had to get my wife to do it she did it with out a walkthrough.i'm a lucky guy huh .
