Hi smile

I've decided I need help with this and as Blackthorne519 said to "make contact if you need help" I sent him a PM.

I didn't get a reply so I tried an email - but that was returned as "failed to deliver" rolleyes

So, has anyone got further than I have and can possibly give me a pointer, please ??

I've explored everywhere now (I think) and taken on two quests.
One is to kill a beast for the Gambler and the other to find a fishing rod for the Fisherman.

Well I found and killed the beast and have its head ready to give the Gambler but it's now night and so I'm locked out of the town.

I also know where there is a fish - but not yet the whereabouts of a rod whistle

[The Gambler let me out of town via a secret exit but that doesn't seem to be available as a way back in. And although I tried climbing back in over the town gates I'm evidently not athletic enough yet. And I haven't found a way to sleep/heal or advance time in any other way.]

Any help will be much appreciated, as always.

Cheers.

Mad grin

Okay - well, you don't quite have the climbing skills yet. So you'll probably need to practice them a bit. Try climbing some of the trees out in the forest. After you do it enough, you should be able to climb.

Quote:

Well, the fish pulled the rod right out of Brattle's hand - and it floated up the river a bit. Look carefully at the river just south of Udo's stand.

Getting the rod is tricky, I will say. You're going to need something to snag it out of the water - and I'll tell you, you can only get that something when it's dusk.

Now, the gambler, Ian, is going to need something to - so good luck with that. There are two ways to obtain it, I'll give you that hint!


Sorry about the delay in getting here. I've been all over the place, but I'm here to help. Dunno why the email didn't go through. It's Blackthorne at infamous-adventures.com for future reference.

Thanks MaG, Rushes and Blackthorne519 thumbsup

I haven't had much computer time since I posted here but as soon as I can get back to the game I'll let you know if I manage to make progress .... IF I'm not too exhausted from climbing trees !!!! lol

EDIT :
Blackthorne519
Your "profile" email doesn't have an "s" on "adventure".
Maybe that's why my email to you couldn't be delivered ??

I need some help. I killed the beast, got his blood and gave it to the guy in the cemetary. I have the fish, but no fishing rod. Every time I try to take the horse from the blacksmith I die. I can't find the fishing pole, and have put my 'eyeball' on everything that looks suspicious. so, I am at a standstill. any pointers on how to get the horse or get a fishing pole would be appreciated! Thanks.

OK. I have made a very small amount of progress - but am still stuck !!

I know where the fishing rod is now and have an idea of how I might eventually be able to reach it.

And also, after enough practice climbing trees, I'm able to get over the gates and nip in and out of town at will.

And I've now met the Smith and seen his tongs and presume I will have to distract him somehow so I can steal them.

I bought a drink at the pub, too, thinking I might be able to keep the glass - or whatever it was served to me in - but no go there.

And I've spoken to everyone who will speak to me.

In inventory I have Money Pouch, Sword, Beast's Head and Fish ....

But although I've offered each item to all I've met, no one wants any of them.
[The Gambler doesn't even want the Beast's "bloody" Head after all my efforts in getting it !! snicker]

Mad, above where you killed the beast is a helmet. you can get the blood from the head and put it in the helmet and then the guy will take it. I haven't seen the fishing pole.. where is that?

Thanks for the tip about the helmet thumbsup

The fishing rod is tucked right up against the bank of the river directly below the town gates.

I haven't bothered to use a lower screen resolution for this demo but maybe I should. Playing in a tiny window things can be quite difficult to see laugh

ah, Thanks! okay, finally found the fishing pole (the screen is really dark and that is awfully hard to see) in my inventory I have the fish, cup, sword and money. How do I get that fishing pole?

You can grab the glass that the beer comes in - sorry, that's one pixel hunt that slipped through. You have to be really accurate for some reason when you try to use the finger on it. It's already been corrected in the game build.... but you can use the glass, for sure. It can be used for a few things!

I was thinking of trying to put out the Blacksmith's fire - seeing as he seems obsessed with fire !! - as perhaps a way of distracting him. But haven't managed it.
[Haven't been able to free the horse so far either and ringing the bell doesn't seem to do anything useful lol]

Nor (even though I do now have it) have I found a use for the glass I took from the pub.
I can't seem to collect any form of liquid or anything else in it - so far, anyway.

And no success at all in locating any oil for the gambler woozy

I don't know how to actually get the fishing rod yet, mbday630. Drowned myself a few times in trying, though laugh

Guess I'm stuck again snicker

I drowned a few times too, and finally gave up. so, if you have the fish that is in the pond, and you have the cup, have you tried combining them? finally I think I finished the demo... without talking to the drunk, without getting the horse or getting the tongs, but, after trying to put the combination of fish and cup stuff on everything, it said that I was a rogue, I believe.

Yes - there are three separate paths to go on in the demo, all with their own puzzles!

Three people in the game will challenge you to a "mini-game" and then ask you for help. You can say yes or no. Each one sends you on a task!

Hi Blackthorne519 smile

So are you saying that mbday630 and I both only completed one of three tasks available in the demo ??

Cheers.

Yes, I am! Sounds like you talked to Ian, the theif.

At dusk, try talking to the big guy in the bar, or the creepy guy in the creepy house with gargoyles.

Have fun!

Mad, if you figure out at least how to start another quest, please let me know. I have restarted the game several times already, and definitely told the fisherman I would help him, but don't know how to go about getting that pole. Please steer me in the right direction! thanks.

I've only had time for one brief NEW session, mbday630, and in it, I ended up in the pub, involved in a drinking contest that I couldn't win !! lol

I didn't do anything with the fisherman except speak to him briefly.

But I'm hoping for some "game" time later.

luck

EDIT :

I eventually won the drinking contest and also worked out how to distract the Smith - so I've now completed the "Brigand" quest also.

Maybe I can get the fishing rod from the river with the Smith's tongs ??

I'll give it a go and let you know grin

Definitely on the right path with the tongs. Just keep in mind, Brattle - the fisherman - wants his pole back, but he goes to sleep when it turns to night.

[Blackthorne519

I can get the tongs to retrieve the fishing pole alright but can't return them quickly enough - even though I try to before giving the pole to Brattle eek

mbday630

Try using "stealth" mode at the Smith's scene.

[I actually found the Brigand's quest easier than the Fisherman's quest is turning out to be woozy]

stealth mode? I never look at directions... cuz, they usually say to use a keyboard control and I am not to good at that. is there a place on the top to do the stealth mode? i might give that a try. thanks for the hint
