[RTC] Underworld Dreams 1.2

[Adamski]

Igor, it is a RTC "bug". The relay starts when you click on

Spoiler

Magnus with an "OBJECT_ON_MOUSE" (the medicine).

I can't modify the size of mouse pointer affected click area in any way.

I guess you mean

Spoiler

'treants' when you write 'tree colossuses'.

No problem with them, they have a different attack:

Spoiler

ATTACK_METHOD_MONSTER_6_PUSH

This method only moves the tile in front of them.

[Igor Poulpupov]

I made some good progress. I really like your dungeon, many great ideas once again, and an impressive production.
I don't understand what I'm supposed to do in the

Spoiler

bubble room... What should I aim for? Fastness?

[Adamski]

Thanks Igor

Spoiler

Be fast. You can easily reach the room using a trick (the usual in this little dungeon). Otherwise it is quite hard and frustrating.

[Igor Poulpupov]

Thanks for the tip. Much easier indeed.
The fight right after that seems too easy to me:

Spoiler

No need for any skill, standing motionless casting fireballs is enough to win without getting harmed...?
In comparison, the snail fight was extremely hard

All my characters were starving in this dungeon... I only survived thanks to the

Spoiler

meditation point

[Chaos-Shaman]

Chaos,

Spoiler

did you visit Helga again?

I can't remember where the hag was. I am looking right now. Couldn't play for the last couple of days, it's hard to resist but my butt had a boil, a carbuncle, an infected follicle. Damn smarts!

I tried giving the

Spoiler

medicine to magnus who I think is the bear

just now, it didn't work, I'll try it once more.

[Chaos-Shaman]

I found the hag Helga, nothing happened until I killed her, that was a mistake, what needs to be done here?
I have the medicine on the mouse and click on the right side of

Spoiler

the bear but nothing happens.

[Chaos-Shaman]

Medicine given, should have known it. Off to see Helga

[Adamski]

Chaos, that's a RTC problem. The pointer click area doesn't coincide with the whole Magnus' body.

Igor, when I tested the game I found

Spoiler

King Frog

quite hard because of

Spoiler

his tongue attack and the annoying sleep bubbles.

I tried to balance all the bosses with the hypothetical party level the player should have at each point of the game. Maybe you were much stronger than me.

[jahmiann]

Hi adamski

i forwarded a few (cause no free time), i strating the dream palace.

Spoiler

I read two books to gilliam (the dark knigh and the fantom parad).
Now i have a enchanted flut, but i can't open other door in the dream palace.
Do i need to go in another place and back to palace later ?
How to get other magic book hidden by the imps in the dream palace ?

[Adamski]

Hi Jahmiann,

Spoiler

you read two books, but I'm sure you have a third you haven't read yet

Did you explore the area near

Spoiler

the phantom parade?

[Igor Poulpupov]

Adamski:
About the fight against

Spoiler

King Frog, all my characters were strong enough wizards to cast Mon fireballs.

I'm blocked in the

Spoiler

castle in the "clouds". Not far from the entrance. I made my way to a second barrel at the level of the mirror, but don't understand what to do there. I guess the barrel is for going back to the stairs, I also guess there's something else than the barrel? An hidden switch maybe?

[Igor Poulpupov]

Nevermind, found it.

[Chaos-Shaman]

I'm dealing with Dream Palace, no other doors will open in the enchanted forest that I can find. It appears that Dream Palace has to be completed first. I was searching for a way into Trolamport. Thoroughly impressed with this dungeon.

[Adamski]

Chaos, Trolamport is one of the first locations to explore, but before that you must visit the library.

[Chaos-Shaman]

I really like that it is linear, not all of it, but enough.

At the

Spoiler

gypsy shop, do all the items need to be purchased? want to by that axe and keep it

That shop keeper takes more coin than he should if paying by chest or bag, he's a thief.

Can the weapons be recharged in someway?

[Igor Poulpupov]

I finished the castle I was in, but still have a riddle left. The "omit two" riddle.

Spoiler

What should I omit? Levers (I think I tried all possible combinations with 2 levers up, hating that room so much now...)? Pads?

[Adamski]

Chaos, you have to buy 2 items to complete the game. It is easy to understand what they are.

This part of the game is quite linear, next part will be less linear.

Igor, the correct answer is the first you wrote.

Spoiler

What about the giant ettin? Too strong or too weak?

[Igor Poulpupov]

The fight was interesting. Not too hard, not too easy.

I still don't get that riddle... I gave up.

[Adamski]

Igor, it's much easier you can think:

Spoiler

4 levers down
2 levers up (of your choice)
check the alcove where you found the message

[Igor Poulpupov]

I'm starving again. Slowly dying while fighting around, doing pretty much no damage at all. I guess I'll have to reload from a good while back...

Spoiler

How does the monsters regeneration work in the forest? Is it just based on a timer or are there triggers that would allow me to get more food faster?
Maybe I missed something, but the forest seems to be the only source of food (0 food in the dungeons insides)?
To be honest, I'd prefer being able to concentrate on the story and new places rather than having to look for and to hunt the same creatures over and over again in order to not die like this...

[Adamski]

Igor, there are many ways to get food:

Spoiler

• by killing the little blue lizards in the sleep forest and in the flying island

• by killing the big lizards in the enchanted forest

• by killing red screamers and pumpkin monsters

• you can also buy food in the gypsy shop

Little and big lizards regenerate in a specific location every time one of them is killed:

• little lizards in the deep forest and in the east side of the marble castle

• big lizards around the bottomless pit area or near Trolamport

• pumpkin monster in the underground of the abandoned house, opening a door

[Igor Poulpupov]

Ok, thanks for the details. I just spent about 40 minutes going to these locations, I'm finally at least half full with any character...

Spoiler

I don't have access to the abandoned house, I guess that's normal. I'm doing the eastern wing of the palace now.
How many of those lizards are in game simultaneously? 2, maybe? I feel like there are moments with no big lizard at all.
The one in the deep forest is too far from the action for my taste, I hope the respawns can't stack on just one location...

It's probably better to wait and see what the other players will think about it, but I think some more food or monsters carrying food would make the game better.

[Adamski]

The mechanism is quite complex.

Spoiler

Whe you kill a giant lizard, a relay activates the lizard generator in an unreachable little area of the game. In that area there are two teleports with the probability set to 20%. One of them points near the bottomless pit, the other near Trolamport. The giant lizard walks until one of the teleports works. When you arrive in the enchanted forest you find two giant lizards. This means there couldn't be more than two lizards at the same time and their respawn is random in time and space.

[jahmiann]

Hi adamski

I find some time to continue playing. Another problem is the water, the only fountain known is near the entrance of the old tree. It should be good to have another fountain in the enchanted forest ... Are i missed something ?

For the boot house

Spoiler

- How to pass bubble room ? I suppose when walking on the plate the door is opening for a small time and you need to reach it quickly.
- I found teck mass, boot and legs,does all teck set is in the boot house ? May i a have glue how to get missing teck set ?

[Adamski]

Hi jahmiann

There are more than 10 fountains in the whole game, 3 are in the enchanted forest. Look next to the great tree exit.

Boot house:

Spoiler

- Use the item that helped you the most in this little dungeon.
- The only piece I haven't put is the tech shield. Spell reflector is too strong.

[Decompositor]

I didn't have much time to play, so I am still inside the Amber Tower. I am now on the level with the "shy staircase".

Spoiler

Everytime I move one step forward the staircase retracts one step. I think one should somehow "block" its way on the back? But so far this hasn't succeeded, the staircase seems to keep moving and/or doesn't even appear even if I block the level completely with amber blocks. Or should I try to somehow "attract" the staircase? Any thoughts?

[jahmiann]

decompositor

Spoiler

- can you reveal rune ?
- if you walk like a cat the staircase will be "shyless"

[Adamski]

Good hint, Jahmian

Decompositor,
you are at 5-6% of the game. I suggest you to download and play the version 1.2. It's much better in terms of athmosphere and balance. I removed many bugs too.

[jahmiann]

ok i can find food and water easily now. Thx

I finished the boot house but found a death end.

Spoiler

- after killed the frog if you down back by the pit you will stuck because grapple diseappered.
maybe close the pit or summon a wall in front of the pit when the fight is starting will solve it.
By the way i didn't find the last tech piece "the torso", i there a way to come back to the boot house ?
The door with dr. adamski closed, i there a way to reopen it ? Dr adamsky gave me a pipe but if i cannot reach it what its purpose ?

But now, i finished the last dream and don't have new one, what is the next step ?

Spoiler

Gilliam is still asleep, i entered the "sivis dungeon" but i am stuck, if i clearly understand the challenge is to find all pearls then use it in the pearl room.
