HELP!!! I'm stuck in this game. I'm at the bat caves but I can't get into any of them. I have fixed the bat seeker and even when I entered one of the caves and turned the dial to 16, the green light flashed but still can't get into the cave, there's no mouse point indication. I've done all I have to do, I think, I've read the bat poster at the resort, is there anything else I need to do?

Hi Debony,

You'll also need to have decoded the page of the journal which talks about the bats. Have you picked up the astrolabe yet (from the Caridad chest) and examined it in inventory? Then check the journal and you'll have more pages to decode.

Hi Rushes

I have done all of the above: decoded the whole journal, picked up astrolabe and examined it in inventory? But still can't get into the cave. Am I missing something?

Replace the bat detector in inventory before attempting to enter the cave. If you've examined the astrolabe then double check the journal again to make sure that the page referring to the bats is fully decoded.

I've done all of the above again but still can't get into the cave. Sigh!

You're welcome to send me your last dated saved game and I'll take a look at it for you, to see what the problem might be.

ooh thanks I'll do that right away.

Oh by the way how do I send you a saved game.

I received your e-mail but there was no file attachment. To send a saved game:

Locate your game folder, which for this game is in My Documents.
Put the saves into date order and right-click on the last dated save there.
Select "Send To" and then "Mail Recipient". This will open up a new e-mail with the file attached.
Add my e-mail address from my profile, and Send.

Just sent you the file. Thanks.

Just sent another email to you with the saved file attachment. Got your email address wrong the previous time so I know you didn't get it then. Thanks.

Hi Debony,

Thanks, I got the save file this time.

Looking at your save, the cave you were at had a reading of 12 KmHz, whereas you needed to be at the cave for 16 KmHz. I moved Nancy across to the far right cave with a reading of 16 KmHz, and got the forward arrow to enter, so you should be ok now. The save's on its way back to you. Enjoy the rest of the game!

Hi, I'm having trouble finding the chest.
So far I've found a crate, a saw and something that looks like a suit of armour. Ive been all over around the ship but I can't locate the chest anywhere. Help please!

Mave.

Hi Mave,

Does this screenshot help you at all:



And a few directions:
Swim to bottom right until the shipwreck and then over the middle part of the deck.
Once the metal detector reads full bar, right click and automatically use the shovel.


Please stay with this thread now if you have any further questions on the game. Thanks. It helps us follow your progress.

Thanks I went back and tried again just after I posted and I found it. Thank you anyway.

Mave.

Glad you found it.

Thanks Rushes, it's all ok now. But one thing though, the 16KmHz cave read 20KmHz on my bat detector, I think that's why I was having some problems going into the bat cave. Thanks anyway.

Glad you're progressing now.

I need help again Rushes. I can't get the pulley from the monkey with the extra toe. I've played so many games with him but I keep getting anything but the pulley. What am I doing wrong. I've been to Blue hole dived into the pool had to go back as it was too dark. Anything else I have to do? Thanks

Examine the pulleys at Blue Hole in close-up, Nancy will comment that a pulley is missing and then she'll notice the monkey footprints. That should allow you to win the pulley from the monkey at far right (the colour squares puzzle).

I've done all of the above Rushes but still can't win a pulley from the monkey. I'll send you a save so you know what I might have missed. Thanks.

I looked at your save - guess what, you already have the pulley in your inventory. It's at top row, last item, the brown wooden object.

And I thought it was a basket, I was wondering what it was doing there. Duh. Thanks.

You're welcome.

Got another one for you Rushes. I've programmed Johnny's GPS but when I went to talk to him afterwards I'm not able to talk to about it. I've done the following:

1. Gone to blue hole and found I need a light source to go further.

2. Asked Johnny for a glowstick and he gave me a GPS to program if I wanted a glowstick.

3. Programmed the GPS and put in the right coordinates.

Done all this but Johnny ain't talking glowsticks, missing anything? Thanks.

----------------
Still stuck with the GPS quest, how do I make Johnny talk and give me a glowstick?

Please do not stack your posts. Use the edit button if you need to add info to a recent one. We will see it.

Also - not need to double post same information - we will get to you as soon as we can.
This is an all volunteer forum.

As for you GPS: double check that all locations has a coordinate and all coordinates are correct. The usual problem is one is missing.
