My game came to a stand-still. I can't do the chess game. I get to about 5 pieces and then I lose track. Good game though.

Tammy someone said they put plastic wrap on their screen and marked the grid and numbers to solve the puzzle.

I tried that, but that didn't work either. Will just have to keep trying or give up the game. Thanks anyways. Much appreciated.

Hi Tammy,I got stuck in the same place you are, and for me that was the end of the game. Hope you win the chess game and let me know if you do, that will encourage me to try again.

Well, I give up. I want to play a game that I can really enjoy. I get to where you are Connie, but it is just too fast playing and can't keep track.

I had trouble with that part too, but after trying for 10 times or so the game gave me "an easier to remember and find squares" game (like two times at each one) and so I was able to finally finish it. You might want to try it again but do it consistently and maybe you will get the same experience.

I hope you all get ahead of the chess game as the next level is reasonably easy, except that I can't find the shoulder piece of the first silver knight on the left, as you look at the screen. Anyone gotten that far yet?

The chess game has ruined the whole game for me. I also give up. I've resorted to looking for a site that has a saved game posted. No luck so far. Other than this task the game has been great but no game should require two people or the application of plastic wrap to complete.

Thanks to another site(sorry) I found the last shoulder piece. Have finished the game which is a first for me. It usually takes me ages to finish these things. So either it was easier than usual or I'm getting better. I found the organ more of a challenge than the chess though. Good Luck to those who go ahead with it.

Hi bluety4 and welcome to Gameboomers welcome

I am not sure that it is possible to use saves in casual games.

I sent a message to BF asking them if there is a save for this part of the game. I expect there isn't, but no harm in trying. I also mentioned that they didn't show this part of the game in their trial version and, if they had, I wouldn't have bought it.

Tammy as far as I know the demos for the Dream Chronicle game are only 30 minutes long. So unless you played the demo very quickly, you would not have gotten to this stage of the game.
The chess puzzle isn't all that different from the organ puzzle. It's just following the lights in a specific order.

I love this game and I too had a difficult time with the chess game....one thing I did was used my fingers for the first few and then remembered the last and I fineally got it. My problem now is the final maze--I have a terrible sense of direction and I'm ready to give up ...I just can't get it and I can't follow the map from the jewel. Anybody have any suggestions?

Hi GBC,

A player over at Gamezebo posted a step by step instructions on how to get through the maze in the comments section. I have not personally done it her way but it should work by what I've read. It's pretty long so you may want to print it out along with the map for the maze at Gamezebo.

Here's what she wrote:

Click to reveal..
I am going to give a detailed step by step way through the Final Maze. The best way to go through the Final Maze is to use Margie B’s map that is labeled and is in the walkthrough above. When you use Margie’s map you will get a much better sense of where you are in the maze and you may be able to correct yourself if you get a step or two off. I would recommend using the map rather than the step by step guide below.

If you use this step by step guide you must follow it exactly. If you miss a step it will not work and you will have to restart the level.

I will use
R for a right turn,
L for a left turn and
F for a step forward.
For example, F3 would mean 3 steps forward.

LL would mean turn left twice, this is how you turn around and go back the way you came.

When you take steps listen for your steps and when you turn watch the screen to be sure you are turning.

Sometimes you might click your mouse and it might not register as a step or a turn because the cursor might not have been in the right place, so don’t rely on mouse clicks alone.

Listen for the steps and look for the turns. Print this guide and follow it as you make the moves. Be prepared to not be interrupted when you begin this maze.

I have gone through the game several times and the maze has always been the same. With this step by step guide it takes about ten to fifteen minutes to get through the maze, if you don’t make any mistakes.

Here we go. F3 L You will see a broken barrel, ignore it.

F4 - L - F2 - R - F4 Click on the key and ignore the head for now.

LL - F4 - L - F2 - L - F2 - R - F2 - L - F3 - L - F1 Click on the key.

LL - F1 - R - F1 - L - F2 - L - F1 Click on the key. Ignore the door for now.

You now have 3 keys. We will now go to the chests and use the 3 keys.

LL - F1 - R - F2 - L - F2 - L - F2 - R - F3 - R - F2 - R - F1

Use the key with one prong to open the chest, then click on the open chest and a gem will go into your inventory.

LL - F1 - L - F2 - R - F2 - R - F2

Use the key with three prongs to open the chest, then click on the open chest and a gem will go into your inventory.

LL - F2 - R - F4 - R - F2 - R - F2 Use the key with two prongs to open the chest, then click on the open chest and a gem will go into your inventory.

Now we will go and put the gems in the heads. LL - F2 - L - F2 - L - F9 - L - F4 - L - F2 - R - F2 - R - F5

Put the green gem in the area just below the face and the head will glow blue.

LL - F1 - R - F1 Use the red gem here.

LL - F2 Use the blue gem here. A key will go into your inventory. Now we will go to the door and use this key.

LL - F1 - L - F4 - L - F2 - L - F2 - R - F2 - L - F2 - R - F2 - L - F1 Use the cylinder key to open the door.

F2 - L - F3 Click on the green potion and it will go into your inventory. Now we will go back to the entrance of the tunnel and exit the maze.

LL - F3 - R - F3 - R - F2 - L - F2 - R - F2 - L - F6

You will now make the last turn and the passageway you see will look just like the one you are now facing. This in deceiving and you may think you have not made the turn, so be careful. Now turn right and go forward 4 steps and you will be out of the maze.

Hope that helps, Margie B

I got through the chess game quite easily but I will say that I know this type of game is not for everyone and it does go fast. I do speed read so maybe that's why I didn't have a hard time with it? I looked at the board the same way I read (I read by looking at the entire paragraph and my mind pulls out the key words). It sort of happened the same way with this. I looked at the board as a whole, put my mouse on the first square and my mind just sort of memorized the rest of the squares as they lit up like they would with key words in a paragraph.

For those that did get through the chess game easily, do you happen to speed read as well?

For those that are still having problems with it, have you tried another method that someone else mentioned? Put your mouse on the first square and use your fingers as placeholders for the rest? That might be a less complicated than the plastic wrap method.

ETA: I am in no way bragging. I definitely can see how lots of people can get stuck on the chess game. I got stuck for three days at a different part just trying to find one of the score pieces! laugh

ETA Again: Thanks for posting that Margie! It really helped me out at the final maze. I lost patience after being turned around a little too many times. Loved the game, can't wait for a 3rd installment!

Misa, that's an interesting question.

My mind works like that sometimes too but I don't speed read (though I am a fast reader). With jumbles or frame games, I look at them and I either know what they are instantly, or I have to work very hard and still may not get it. wave

I think the key to the chess game is to look at the board as a whole and not the individual squares. I just thought of another instance where that method (looking at the whole, not the individual) works well for me and that is with word search grids. If I look at the individual letters, I don't find them but if I pull my mind/focus back to the entire grid, they start popping out.

I did have a harder time with the organ puzzle since the buttons are closer together and not in a grid. I messed up plenty before I completed it.

Good luck to those that are still stuck on the chess puzzle. I wish I could help you out with it! There may be a way to send "save games" in this game. I'm looking at some of the files now to see if it's possible.

If there is a way Misa, I would sure appreciate a save game for it. I gave up on dream chroniciles 2 after a week of frustration with that puzzle. I hope that someone builds a cheat to get around that part,it would have been fun to say I finished the game.

Misa, luck with that.

It would be nice for many members and probably for me when I get there. My "cheat" is usually my hubby who can do anything.

I think there is a way but it means going into hidden files and grabbing all the files in (xp) C:\Documents and Settings\yourcomputerusername\Application Data\PlayFirst\dreamchronicles2 so not really a solution for novice computer users since XP defaults to not show hidden files. It's not really a "saved game" but your entire progress.

Ahhhhh misa, so just a solution for experienced tinkerers. Still, it is better than nothing.

I would not do it, but would have hubby do it. I turned one computer into a doorstop by tinkering when he suggested that I shouldn't, so now we keep our hidden files hidden, and if they need work, he does it. wave
