I am still in the Injuns' world. I have just spent an hour trying to do the feather puzzle--and that is with a picture of the solution in front of me LOL! My eyes are boggled! I quit the game and will try again tomorrow. I did use all the feathers, but the totem looked off kilter. Do you get a response when it is done correctly?

Doreen

Hi Doreen,

Yes, the game will play a tinkly melody when the puzzle is solved.

You'll hear a soft click as each feather slots into its correct position.

Good luck for when you get back to it. It had me cross-eyed too!

Yes, this puzzle is an hard one for bad eyes !

And it seems that it is a hard puzzle (too big ?) for Flash too (like the one with tubes in the Dwarves world).
Because, when you're sure everything is correct, you have sometimes to touch few feathers (or few tubes) to activate the success music.

Thank you Rushes and grelot04. I started it again today, used all the feathers and--nothing. So I decided to try it without the solution picture, and--EUREKA!--it worked. There IS a GOD! Am now on my way again.

Doreen

Great that you solved it.
Enjoy the game.

Oh yessss ! Mika (who made the walkthrough) has to make a picture with just a feather out of its emplacement. Because when all feathers are in place, oups, the puzzle close too quickly to make a screen print.
And we noticed that too late, the walkthrough was yet online (all the other solutions are complete).

I would have understood that you play with the walkthrough, Dorish, and then inform you about this feather

Yes grelot04, I did notice that when I did the puzzle without the picture that 2 of the feathers on the right wing had changed position. Maybe it would be a good idea to post this on the discussion forum so that others who are using the walkthrough don't run into the same problem. Thank you for posting this reply to me.

Hi dorish

It might be of some help (certainly to me, anyway) if you can remember and tell which two feathers are different !!

On my first play of the game, I lost my saved games suddenly when I was halfway through my 2nd world and so had to start over and ON that first play, I had solved the feather puzzle without a lot of difficulty .

However this time round I am very stuck, even though I printed off a picture of the completed puzzle - from the walkthrough

I HAVE placed all the feathers more than once but obviously NOT in the right places as I'm not able to move on
Been at it for hours, now ....

Cheers.

Mad

Hi Mad,

You might need to take the puzzle apart and start over. It sounds as though one or more of the feathers didn't slot into place completely (you'll hear a little "thunk" when they do) - but unfortunately there's no way of telling which one without trying all of them.

Hi Rushes

I've taken the picture apart and started it from scratch at least nine times today

[And I am getting the little "thunks" all the time.]

I think I'll reluctantly have to move on to something else for a while before my sanity goes completely !!

Cheers.

Mad

hi Mad,I have the pic in front of me.I turned my speakers full up and still didn't hear any sound when the feathers went together. As for the 2 out of place feathers,they are on the right wing looking at the puzzle. There are 4 feathers on that part.The outermost feather is OK. The ones that were wrong (I think) were the first 2--purple and a beigey-greeny colour. They have to switch places If that's not right,then it is the next 2(beigey-dark green). Hope you get it. I was about to quit the game until I tried it without the pic in front of me.
The four feathers I am talking about are starting from the extreme right and going left.So if you call the extreme R1, then it is either 4 and 3 that have to be switched or 2 and 3. Hope this is not too confusing LOL!

Doreen

Thanks, Doreen.

Hope that helps you, Mad.

Hi - and thanks, dorish and Rushes

I'll take another look then

I don't know why you don't hear the "thunks" though, dorish. I heard them every time I (apparently, or so I thought ) got a feather in the right place !!

Maybe I'd do better to turn the sound off then and try it without hearing any thunks

I'll let you know how I go on.

EDIT :
Your tip worked, dorish !! Thank you so much !!

Rushes ....
I have made a save immediately after solving the puzzle.
Should I send it to you - or is this one of those games where saves can't be transferred ??

EDIT 2 :
Does anyone know if the order in which one visits the world, matters ??

Cheers.

Mad

Mad - that's great!

I think this game has a save system similar to Machinarium, where the saves are in an unusual place and all in one large save file that can't be separated out. I'll look into it.

It makes no difference in which order you visit the worlds. If you can't find any evidence of Petro having been in the world you're currently in, you can try another world and return later.

Hello Dorish !
I saw your post asking me to tell about the feathers puzzle image, but I was not able to make a reply yesterday.
Why don't you post about that yourself, Dorish ? There is no problem at all
I explain why there are one (two ?) feather not in the right place, but when we noticed that, it was too late. And, for me, the picture in the walkthrough must be just an indication of what you must obtain, not an absolute guide.
Where is the pleasure of doing a puzzle with an eye on the puzzle and the other one on the walkthrough ?

Nevermind, I will send to Chief the model of this puzzle. He will put it in the best place

Edit 1 : The saves are cookies. Their localisation is explained on our website (too technical for me).
The problem is, with a non linear game... are you sure your save will be the right one for an other player ?

In the walkthrough, the picture of the feathers puzzle, in the Injuns world, is not complete.
It was impossible to make a print screen of this puzzle finished because the scroll shut down too quickly.

Then note that one (or two?) feathers are not in the right place, on the left wing of the totem.
But, once understood the principle of this puzzle, it is not so difficult to be successfull if... you don't follow the walkthrough picture feather by feather

Hi grelot.I don't know if you saw my detailed post to Mad--if you scroll up you will find it.The discrepancy of the 2 feathers is on the right wing of the puzzle when you are looking at it, not the left. I just want to say how much I am enjoying the game. You guys really put a LOT of time and effort into it.Thank you all.

Doreen

I'm not a person who plays a game with a walkthrough to hand. I like to battle through on my own and only consult a walkthrough if driven to do so because I absolutely cannot progress ....

However, if some people prefer to play with a walkthrough, surely that's up to them ??
And it's certainly a much better option than them giving up or even not playing the game at all ??

Anyway, if necessary, I can explain exactly how to place the "feathers in question" so that the puzzle can be completed without causing the player quite so much stress !!

[And to follow the path to the saved games, "show hidden files" has to be enabled in Windows Explorer.]

Thanks again, dorish and Rushes

Cheers.

Mad

Hi Mad, yes I am one of those people who use a walkthrough for adventure games. I am 64 and do not have a "gamers' mind". I have only been playing adventure games for the last few years. I would rather use a walkthrough than quit a game out of sheer frustration (which I have done). I play games for enjoyment, not to tear my hair out. For example, I am slowly working my way through The Experiment with a w/t and even with one, it is hard going LOL! In some adventure games, in the puzzles, I don't even know what I am supposed to do, never mind HOW to do it. Kudos to MaG and all the other people out there who write walkthroughs. I love them. I have been able to play (and finish) so many enjoyable games because of them.

Doreen

I think I might be getting into trouble with this game ??

After fully completing the Injuns World I went to the Bimbos World, where I looked at every island and some of the main central area and completed a few of the quests.
But I found no trace of my friend.
No notes or fragments of paper or whatever. So, I didn't try to finish that world, I went back to The House and from there to the Dwarves World.

Now I've explored quite a lot of this world too and still found no trace of her !!

Does anyone know whether I will continue to make progress if I never find anything from her ??

Cheers.

Mad

You forgot a world, Mad

The game is a non linear one. Then you may go to the (opened) world you want, as soon as you have the amulet.
But who said that Petro has the same possibility ? In the uncle's diary, in the house, there is a hint on how she will travel.
The wife of the dwarves chief will explain it to you, as soon as you may speak with her.
And another hint is in the banner of our website

Hints, hints, hints, Amertis is full of hints

Hi grelot04 and thanks for responding

I haven't actually "forgotten" any of the worlds, I just thought I might be doing something wrong when I had only found traces of the girl in one of the three I had visited, so decided I would ask before going to yet another new one

I guess I'd better also read the diary again then - and go take a closer look at the banner on your website !!

[I have already spoken to the wife of the dwarf chief - if she is the one who is usually with the little boy - but she had hardly anything to say to me. Perhaps she will speak more later.]

Mad.

No, no Mad, this one is the young girl, and she mays help you, but she has poor conversation
The wife of the chief is in the group near the house.

Ahhhhh .... grelot04 !!

It seems I needed to open the Injun, Bimbo, Dwarf and Robot worlds

When I was in the Dwarves world before opening the Robot World (which was when I last posted here) no one in that group near the house was interactive. I could only speak to the Chief, the Healer and the female dwarf with the little boy.
But now I have opened the Robots World as well - making four worlds open altogether - the Chief's wife IS interactive

AND I am finding traces of my lady friend here and there so am making better progress

[I realise why, too, now, of course !!]

Cheers.

Mad

Not really. You may open each world one after the other if you want.
The fact is that, if Rodrigue may travel on a non-linear way, it is not the same for Petro who is under the actions of Rodrigue, as well as Rodrigue progression is under the "travel" of Petro.
Then, Amertis is a non-linear game with, inside, a linear component
