Legends of Crystal Valley

I know that maybe not too many people have played this yet because it just came out, but if someone has played and figured out the statues I would really appreciate a little help.I am playing the wemo I am not sure if the actual game starts this way or not but I can't do anything else. Help please Thank you Trisha

Let's wait for a gamer that played the demo to help you.

Trisha, I downloaded the demo and then bought the game. They both start the same way.

The placement of the statues are based on the poem.

Here is the solution: See what happens on the left of the closet.

Good luck.

Chief

Where did you dnload the demo from?
I'm running out of games.
Thanks

RAL, read the second topic at the Discussion Forum.

Chief

Thank you Chief - I'm dnloading it now.

Thanks, Chief.

so far i'm enjoying this game but i'm already stuck! how do i get into the shed. I have the latern but i still can't get in because she says it's too dark

Rachel, did you picked up in the house a bottle of petroleum and some matches? You will need to combine these items in inventory with the lamp.

Good luck.

Chief

Thanks, Chief. Glad you're playing the game.

Welcome MaG. Having fun.

Chief

Hi everyone,
I'm stuck in the village, talked to everybody, have coins in the inventory but couldn't get a beer for the man inside. How can I fix the music box? What shall I do next? I need to get the key near the bartender and the magic powder but can't figure it out. I need a little hint please. Chief?

Springchicken, you need to find three bells to give to the drunk guy outside the tavern. One of them is near him, the other one is on the path to the knights statue and Konoba has the third bell (he needs a favor).

Good luck.

Chief

The smitty will fix the musicbox for your last coin

Thanks for the extra hint nanette.

Chief

Thanks Chief and nanette. I have one bell, going back for the rest.

Did someone by any chance get as far as the Villa in the City, got through the window on the second floor and solve the safe puzzle.


Chief

Yes, I did - did you find the letter on the table? You can't pick it up, but you can just make out the drawing

Thanks a million nanette.

Nope, I did not see the letter. It must be a great hint.

Chief

I'm stuck again in the magic forest. The giant is sleeping, I got his magic potion, nothing works here, both ends of the road are blocked. I tried to make her to drink the potion - no luck. Please help.

Did you try doubleclicking the potion?

Has anyone figured out how to lower the 3rd elevator in the Count's castle? I have sailed through the game but with this I'm at a loss.

With the 1st elevator you go to the library where you can find a telekinesis spell you can use on the 3rd elevator

nanette, thanks for the hint. I guess i should of said i need a spoiler. I had already figured out that the only thing I can use is the magic spell, as that is the only thing in the castle and she says she has to use her mind. But after clicking on the case and reading it, nothing shows up to use, either in inventory of magic. How do you use the spell?

lily, look at the shelves on the right of the case.


nanette, after going around the angels huts, I need a little hint on what to do.


Chief

springchicken to give the giant the sleeping potion

@ Chief,

You mean with the strange device? That was a nasty one - I thought I the diagram on one of the walls there was the big hint and made all kind of calculations, but it turned out you just need to expand (is that the English word for 'making longer'?) ALL the 9 spikes on the ball
BTW better save before you start tinkering

Off to bed for now, I'll leave Ziggurat for tomorrow - good night all!

OMG. thank you chief! I walked past that 32 times! I have to take a break. I've been playing for 6 hours and jotting down a walkthrough for my friend. Missing easy stuff and I can't even read the forum correctly. I just gave springchicken some weird advice, LOL. thanks again!

Thanks nanette and good night.

lily, I have been playing all day also. Interesting game. Have fun.

And now to go back to the Angel's Huts.

Chief

Thanks nanette. Where is the third plant? I have the one from the crossroad, the second from the log, can't find the third one. Looked everywhere in the magic forest, but didn't go outside it. Thanks.

Go to the right path from the witch and to the crypt. Find a way to pass the bushes and the plant will be near the door.

Chief

Thanks Chief, I think I clicked on all plants near the door...Well, going back.

Edit: sure my old eyes missed that yellow plant.

Great that you got it.

Chief

I hate to say I am stuck. I'd rather blame it on the fact I've been playing for 6 hours without food and water. I am at the Count's castle. Got spell, lowered elevator, exhausted conversation with the dragon, shrunk and took the egg. For the life of me I have no idea what to do next! Any suggestions, other than a nap?

lily, go to elevator #2 and use one of the spell on Unit 42 to be able to go through the door.

Good luck and good night.

Chief

Hi! I am at the swamp and I have to repair the boat. I have in my inventory the branch, the fish, the empty cap and the rope. I don't know what to do next. Thanks for any help

Proper: an empty cup can be filled....

Thank you very much nanette

Hello!
I stuck and have To find the 3. bell?
What to do?

Thanks

Thanks I have found it

Ah, I am finally stuck! I see some of you have gotten farther, so perhaps you can help me?

I am at the point where I am trying to get the egg. Eve refuses to pick it up, I can't use the telekinesis spell on it, and I can't find Vatram. Am I missing a hotspot somewhere?

venus, shrink the egg. Eve will then take it.

Chief

Ah, thanks, Chief! I thought I had already tried that for sure! Just goes to show I wasn't paying as much attention as I thought I was.

Thanks, again.

Hello again!
How can I open the second door in the crypt to leave it?
Thanks for any answer.

Sokra, you do not need to open the second door.

Use the shrinking spell from the witch if you have it to pass under the door.

Good luck.

Chief

Thanks, but I do not have it.
I have given the book to the witch and now?

Kind regards

--------------

Hello!
I have found the spell. Thanks.

Sokra, talk to her again and maybe on subjects you already talked about. And do not forget to look in the pot for a pattern you will need for a puzzle.

Chief

Edit: Great. Use the Edit button to post if no one posted after you. Thanks.

There is a Dutch walkthrough with screenshots available; if you use Google Translate it can help point you in the right direction

I guess Chief will be adding a much nicer English WT soon, but in the meantime you can give it a try if you're stuck

It still in the making and atm it stops at where you enter the mayor's mansion

Get it here English Google translation of Dutch WT

Nanette, thanks for the link.

Yep, a WT is in the making and should be posted sometime on Monday if all goes well.

Chief

Way to go Chief now I can buy the game. Thanks
Richard

Chief!

Welcome MaG and Richard.

Chief

Hi Chief

I really like this game but am stuck - and at the kind of puzzle where I always get stuck

I'm in the crypt, "shrunk down nicely", trying to position the balls on the sarcophagus.

And I feel as if I've been here for about six months !!

Can you suggest any sequence of moves, please ??

Cheers.

Mad

I've been writing a rough walkthrough as I've been playing as well. I put it online for my friend overseas. It seems I've gotten about as far as the Dutch guy has. But here's the link
http://locvw.wordpress.com/
I hope it helps someone.

edit: finished the "unofficial" walkthrough. it is rough but it is linear and has some screen shots.

I am playing the demo and since it has voices when it starts I just assumed in the entire game the characters will speak in the full version. Is this correct?

It will be a shame if they don't because the graphics are beautiful. I am debating whether to buy the game and if it has speech in the full version I shall do so.

Thanks for your walkthrough will be checking it when I get stuck.

Sherryah

Mad, I've been trying to make a sequence, but the starting position of the balls change all the time when I restart from a previous savegame. That makes a 100% solution impossible imo.
I think the best any of us can do will be to send you a savegame from shortly after solving it - you won't miss much, just the cutscene of Eve passing through a blue cave
If you haven't figured it out by now I can upload the savegame to Megaupload

Sherryah - my version only has speech in the very beginning, later on it's text only. Maybe the CD-version will have full speech. Even without speech I liked this game very much though...

Is the downloadable paid version the one that has text instead of speech? Thanks Nanette. I agree The graphics are great in the game.

Hello!
I cannot leave the angel world with the 3 huts.
What have I done wrong or how can I leave it?

Thanks

You forgot to read the answer in spoiler tags on the previous page in this thread...

Sokra, after visiting all 3 huts and picking up a controler and 2 crystal, combine them in Inventory.
Go to the glowing hut and insert that combo of controler and crystal on the device.


Then go to the right hut and talk to Rael Ka.

Good luck.


Mad, to you want a save game? Indeed that puzzle is random.


Chief

Hi!
I'm in the villa and need to open the safe. I know the solution from the lili's WT, but I read here in some post that there is a letter with a drawing on the table. For the life of me I couldn't find this letter. Please help.

The table - or maybe desk - is in the middle of the room and has a tall slender candlestick. The letter is next to it.
You CAN'T pick it up or anything, you can just make out the drawing

Springchicken, look at the corner of the desk on the right.

It's not obvious that it is for the puzzle but you can see in the drawing 2 empty tubes and 2 full.

But you can't take the drawing.

Chief

Thanks for the answer. Now i am missing a ring for the last sequenz.
Where can I find it?

Chief and nanette, thanks a lot. Now I closed that loose end.

Hello and thanks all.
I have finished the game.

Much please to all who are still playing this wunderfull game.
The only fault of the game is that there is no speech.

Kind regards

Sokra, from the hologram, go to the right passage and be in the sleeping quarters. Approach the sleeping quarter and see the ring on the desk.

Chief

Great that you finished the game.

have fun with your next one.

Chief

Edit: please Chief, do not double post

Chief.

Hi Chief - Love the "self editing" BTW. !!

And thank you for your email and save game stuff
[I only just got chance to get back to my machine so apologies for the delay.]

I see that you have sent four "parts" for the save but I'm not quite sure where to put them in the game files. I can't find anything that resembles save games already there.

The only things I HAVE found that are numbered and so look like save games are in a folder called "store" and they have what resembles an IE style of icon followed by "htm101/102/103 etc. But they are all called "Documents".

[I have looked in My Documents also but can't see anything there either.]



So I'm having to ask for further help, please

[And thanks to you, nanette for your offer of a save game also ]

Cheers.

Mad

Mad, when you are in The Legend of Crystal Valley folder, then click on "Bin" and see the saves.

If you open any saves, they have 4 files.

I'm as lost as you. Maybe I should send my self a new save and check what happens.

Chief.

Hi Chief - and thanks for such a prompt reply

However ....

When I open "Bin" these are what I see ....

cfg
data
help
Microsoft.VC90.CRT
setup

Plus a load of other items called :

Application Extensions
PYD Files
and 1 x DAT File

I've clicked on them all but can't find a list of saved games anywhere amongst them

[If you need to throw me over to "Bugs & Glitches" so I don't use too much space up on this board, I won't mind ]

Cheers.

Mad

Very strange Mad. I also have the cfg, data, ...... and saves.

I have 33 files in the Bin folder. Hum!

Chief

Edit: Mad, we can't send saves in a casual game as this one.

Mad, at a guess you're using Vista? Vista has a nasty way of hiding many savegames (I speak from experience and chucked Vista after 2 frustrating months)

1. Click the round blue Start thing in the left corner
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click Folder Options
4. Click the View tab
5. Click Show hidden files and folders
6. Click OK

Now do a search for for instance name.loc in station C. That will hopefully give you the location of your savegames and you can tinker with the savegame Chief sent you.

Don't forget to reverse the hiding proces once everything is OK - or if it didn't work out of course

I hope this helps!

Hi Chief - and thank you for your time, trouble and email

It appears I shouldn't have bothered you at all but I wasn't aware that The Legend of Crystal Valley was classed as a "casual" game.

The thread I saw announcing its release was on the Adventure Games Discussion Board.

It is also listed in our Latest & Upcoming Adventure Games.

[And I actually thought hints for casual games were dealt with on the Casual Board - but I don't see it mentioned there .... all the hints for the game are being given here.]

So, feeling rather perplexed now

nanette ....

I have WinXP Home. I have never tried and do not want to ever try Vista !!

Cheers.

Mad

Actually, there is a 'light' and a true adventure game of the same one.
I am not sure if there will be similarities - so we kept it here.

OK MaG

Could someone please tell me what this game would cost if I bought it?

Carlahelp

Carla,

Might be best to post at the Crystal Valley thread at Discussion forum. They cna help you better there. Thanks.
