That's what we like to hear: someone taking on the challenge of a tricky game, and beating it through determination and a willingness to try just one more time ... and again ... and again wink

I'm glad you're enjoying the Sands now, burpee. It's one of my all time favourite games!

Sounds like you are doing really well and moving right along. There are a lot of fantastic scenes in the game. I enjoyed getting from one place to another. Some of the fighting scenes were hard.

Hey, thought I'd drop in and tell you all about a little bug I encountered in the game. Right after saving the area where you move the mirrors so that they reflect off of each other, you enter into a fight on a raised bridge area.

I hit one of the baddies and he fell from the bridge. As I continued on towards the save point, there he was, wounded and frozen on another part of the bridge. No matter how much I hit him, he did not go away and the game wouldn't let me save. Not a problem because I had saved right before entering into the fight but I wondered if anyone else encountered problems. So far this game has been bug free.

I don't recall any bugs in the game. I think what you experienced was one of those weird happenings. I've seen a few myself. I remember in a Thief fan mission, there was a guard I had to kill to open a door. I searched for hours and finally found him underwater in a canal. I had to swim down to kill him. I had been wondering where those arrows were coming from.

Rotfl!!! Those darn mysterious arrows smile Sassy and I played Jekyll & Hyde together (Namma started but not her kind of game) and she had Jekyll standing ontop of the head of a bad guy, heheh. She couldn't kill him but she was safe there smile

That's really funny - I can just picture him riding around like that.

I'm at 81% and I'm afraid I might be stuck for good. I am a terrible fighter and Farrah keeps dying on me. Does anyone want to take my save and get me past the fight? Pretty pleassssee?

My hands hurt from trying over and over again to beat these guys. I find Farrah to be extremely bothersome, lol.

A bit of an update...

The saves work perfectly but unfortunately for me it is going to be a long time before I can finish this game. I needed the save for after the elevator fight where Farah keeps dying so I got that and opened it up. I played that level and I go to a cutscene and save. On to the next level.

I wake up and no longer have the dagger. What that means is that there is no REWIND frown Now we have to play through the level flawlessly while fighting nasty bats. I gave up on that level and loaded up the next one.
Same thing...still don't have the dagger. Not a problem, I move through the level and then I get to a tall area to ping pong up the side. I'm a good ping ponger so should be no problem. Wrong. As soon as the camera view shifts, I fall every time. I am wondering if I need to switch arrow keys when the camera shifts?
I got tired of starting this over and over again and loaded up the very last level. The boss level. Alrighty then! I do battle with the bad guy and defeat him. Now Farah seems not to know me and will not believe my story and how they love each other.

I will keep plugging away at these missed levels because I want to see the story but I think it might take me awhile, lol.

I just keep chatting away here, don't I? Lol, can't help myself smile

I just finished the 2nd to last level and saw how and why Farah doesn't know who I am in the end. I think there must be a sequel to this.

Superb game.
