Posted February 15, 2017 Sooo.... Have you figured out the oak tree situation yet? I'm PREEEEETTY sure there's a squirrel there, but I can't seem to figure out anything that involves adding/taking acorns or NOT chopping down the tree (if you can). Nope! Every time I try to even remotely go back or foward, I constantly fall into the bush. WB Share this post Link to post

Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) How did that even happen ahaha Hmmm, looks like it doesn't accept killing things. That was the same thing for the box! Iwanted o give the BOX, but apparently only gave her one of the cards (my guess is the 'your hinni is big and luptuous' or whater card.... Sounded Irish in my head when I read it.)

Posted February 15, 2017 I have tried bribing the squirrel with coins I have tried bribing the squirrel with acorns I have tried murdering the squirrel (in a variety of ways) I have tried singing to the squirrel I have tried playing the flute to the squirrel I have tried casting spells of weakness on the bush I have tried eating mushrooms (they might be magic and help you escape bushes if you absorb their power?) I have tried digging my way out I don't know why I keep thinking 'maybe this one will work' because this bush must be cursed. I have F5'd repeatedly with the command 'CUT BUSH WITH SWORD' so this bush would be sawdust by now. Maybe my character is just lazy and doesn't want to stand up. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 15, 2017 Extremely tedious game... Reminds me of the time my medical aid refused to okay a procedure because the right procedure codes weren't filled in on the request but they didn't want to tell me what the right codes were sooooo... yeah... ended up in a surgery that could have been an in-the-chair procedure if so much time hadn't lapsed. Speaking of dental surgery... I am still stuck after the Beaver King bit. It tells me I can CONTINUE ONTO THE BATTLEMENTS but no amount of continuing continues my continuance.

Posted February 15, 2017 You don't know what the commands are. Just try stuff. Although it is a little frustratingly vague. The solution for the nest is to climb down. I would recommend not crossing the bridge when you get to it. We're all stuck in the brambles. Appears to be a glitch. Most common accepted commands are: Examine Take/Give Throw Go/Follow/Enter Check Talk to Use (or alternatively type the type of use such as 'cut' for a blade) Edit: If I'm supposed to be hiding things, IDK how. Oh, thank you for this. I will have to try again later. And thank you for the heads-up on the brambles. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 15, 2017 Looks Like I can start over after winning the game! Also there is new stuff to do! So, I'm just going to post my quicky guide as Day 1 stuff. (Edit: NOTE! Day 2 stuff is NOT an extra day! It's just additional things you can do that weren't there yesterday.) --------- First off BADGES! (Made by me) A badge representing everyone's frustration with the game: - Transprent background: [img=http://i66.tinypic.com/15p1jza.jpg] - Scroll background: [IMG=http://i64.tinypic.com/126b9uc.jpg] A badge for getting to the end of the game. (Well, what we know is the end so far.) May all of you have found some kind of love, be it platonic, romantic, or just plain weird. - Transparent background: [img=http://i63.tinypic.com/10e0bph.jpg] - Scroll background: [img=http://i67.tinypic.com/35kv514.jpg] --------- Shokomon's (not so) Quickie Guide (Highlight for Spoilers; Gray because kinda spoilers.) Day 1 Hints For the Nest 1. Try investigating around the NEST. "EXAMINE NEST" a. You may be able to investigate and pick up some things. ex: "EXAMINE SKELETONS" or "TAKE COINS" b. You should look at your PLANNER. "EXAMINE PLANNER" 2. To leave the NEST, you gotta try to leave. "LEAVE NEST" a. You should be specific on how you should leave the NEST. "CLIMB OUT OF NEST" OR "CLIMB BRANCHES" For the Mountain Path, Path Fork, and Cliff 1. Follow the pathway. "TAKE PATH" or "GO <insert direction>" a. Don't forget to collect stuff! "Take Armor" 2. Eventually, you will be blocked the TREE. a. You could try to remove the tree. "USE AXE ON THE TREE" or "CHOP TREE WITH AXE" b. Or you could just take the fork in the path on the LEFT. "GO LEFT" c. If you take the fork, make sure to investigate and pick up stuff. ex: "TAKE ARMOR" or "EXAMINE PICKAXE" 2.If you take the fork, continue forward until you are at the CLIFF. "GO FORWARD" a. You will see a horse. b. Engage the horse. "TALK TO THE HORSE" and/or "EXAMINE THE HORSE" 3. That's it. You have to turn around and GO BACK to the pathway with the TREE. Then, you gotta get rid of the TREE. "USE AXE ON THE TREE" or "CHOP TREE WITH AXE" 4. Once you get around the TREE STUMP, you will reach another dead end. a. There are a couple things you can investigate and collect there. ex: "EXAMINE STICKS" or "TAKE ROCK" b. You will see a pile of dead LEAVES with something shiny inside! Be sure to check them out. "EXAMINE LEAVES" For the Caverns/Tunnels 1. Now, you are in a new place, so might as well investigate and take a memento. ex: "EXAMINE ROOTS" or "TAKE LEAF" a. There are two TUNNELS to explore! Pick one! "GO EAST" or "GO SOUTH" 2. The eastern tunnel ends in a strange grotto. a. Be sure to investigate. ex: "EXAMINE WALLS" or "TAKE LANTERN" b. There is an ALTAR there, too. Maybe you can OPEN it? "OPEN LID" c. Go back and check the other tunnel. "GO WEST" 3. The south tunnel leads to a cavern full of crystals. a. Maybe you should investigate and keep one. "EXAMINE CRYSTAL" and "TAKE CRYSTAL" b. And/or you can just explore the other tunnels. "GO EAST" or "GO SOUTH" For the Spider: 1. If you have run away from the SPIDER, then you need to explore some more. Try exploring the other tunnels. "GO <insert direction here>" a. If you find the LAKE, you should see a SKELETON. Make sure to investigate it. "EXAMINE THE SKELETON" and "TAKE THE BOX" and "TAKE THE SWORD" b. Don't know what to do with the FUNGUS, though... c. Now you can go back and face the SPIDER! 2. If you are stuck at the SPIDER and you don't know what you have, you should take a look at your stuff. "EXAMINE INVENTORY" a. Maybe, you should try asking the SPIDER what's wrong. "TALK TO THE SPIDER" b. If you have the SWORD and you don't like spiders, maybe you should try using the SWORD. "USE SWORD ON THE SPIDER" or "ATTACK SPIDER WITH THE SWORD" c. If you've talked to the SPIDER, you'll know what's wrong with it. Maybe you should give it something if you have the BOX. "GIVE BOX TO THE SPIDER" d. Side note: If you love spiders so much, maybe you should marry it.After talking to the spider, "ASK SPIDER ON A DATE" For the Forest Cave and Forest 1. To enter the FOREST, you literally have to enter the FOREST. "ENTER FOREST" or "ENTER THE FOREST" a. You can investigate the FOREST too! "EXAMINE THE FOREST" b. There is some stuff lying around. You can look at that stuff as well. ex: "EXAMINE GOLD" or "TAKE GEMS" 2. Once you are inside, you should a RIVER, a BRIDGE, and a GAME TRAIL a. Investigate your surroundings and then follow the RIVER. "FOLLOW THE RIVER" b. The GAME TRAIL and BRIDGE are new. They will be covered in Day 2 stuff. 3. If you follow the river, you'll encounter a friendly WOODSMAN. a. The prompts here are fairly self-explantory. You can either help him. "INSIST HE TAKES YOU" b. OR ditch him. "IGNORE HIM" 4. If you ditch him, you'll end up in at an old, abandoned MILL. a. You investigate the area and go inside. ex: "EXAMINE WATERWHEEL" or "GO INTO MILL" b. If you check out the mill, try investigating. You may find something. "EXAMINE DESK" and then, "TAKE RECORDS" and "TAKE PAINTING" c. You can also follow the Path next to the MILL. For the Beaver King 1. You will end up following this part of the story regardless if you help or ditch the Woodsman. 2. The prompts are fairly self-explanatory. Just follow the capitalized words. a. Hint: BEAVERS don't know mercy. b. Hint: Insults to character, insults to moms, and implications of compensation are generally frowned upon. For the Battlements and the Village 1. You can see the GATE. You should make a break for the GATE. "RUN TO THE GATE" a. It turns out there IS something else you can do, since this dragon is so obsessed with music making, maybe you should give it a taste of your own voice. "SING TO THE DRAGON" b. THEN, you can make a break for the gate. "GO TO GATE" 2. If you didn't scare away the dragon, once you are in the village, the dragon will follow you and try to get you to listen to him. a. You could give him a taste of his own medicine. "SING TO THE DRAGON" b. Or you can toughen up the STREAMERS that are on him from crashing into town. "CAST SPELL OF RESILIENCE ON THE STREAMERS" c. Once the dragons gone, you can go to the cafe! Meet your love! "GO TO CAFE" Day 2 Hints Everything is the same for day 2, except there is a new section. For the Forest Detour 1. If you made it to the Forest, you will have noticed the BRIDGE extending to the GAME TRAIL on the RIGHT. a. Take it. "GO RIGHT" b. If you follow the RIVER, you may miss this section. I'm not sure. 2. You may find yourself in a bit of pickle with a BRAMBLE BUSH a. There are some items around. Investigate them. ex: "TAKE ACORN" b. You won't be able to leave until you free yourself from the BUSH. "CUT BUSH WITH SWORD" 3. Once free you can continue forward to another dead end with an oak tree. a. Try investigating and maybe pick up something. ex: "TAKE MOUNTAIN" b. There isn't much else to do. Head back to the RIVER. "GO BACK" 4. Apparently, at some point on this path, you can assault squirrels "THROW ACORNS" a. I couldn't get it to work, but others have reported it. From then on, the story progresses as is from yesterday. NOTE: If you are stuck in the BRAMBLE BUSH, and tried everything above and cleared your cache, then you can report the problem here. - Others have had the same issue. --- - Feel free to correct me if any of these are wrong. I'm going from memory. Anyone is free to add more tips. --- OTHER TIPS (Highlight for spoilers) 1. EXAMINE <insert creature/person/object here> or EXAMINE THE <insert creature/person/object here> ex: EXAMINE THE ROOTS, EXAMINE THE SKELETON - usually helpful in investigating stuff - doesn't work on everything 2. TAKE <insert object here> or TAKE THE <insert object here> ex: TAKE THE COINS, TAKE THE ARMOR - you will use this a lot - you can use it on random things too - collected items will be added to your inventory EXAMINE INVENTORY - Can also be used to take paths 3. USE (THE) <insert object here> ON (THE) <insert object/person/creature> ex: USE AXE ON TREE - good for using items - make sure you indicate what you are aiming at, or it won't work 4. GO <insert direction> ex: GO BACK, GO FORWARD, GO UP, GO EAST - it will help you get around - it doesn't always work - it's often situation specific Silly Actions: TAKE TREE LICK TREE DRINK WATER/DRINK RIVER USE/PLAY THE FLUTE (x2) LICK THE HORSE CHOP TREE WITH AXE/USE AXE on TREE (after already cutting down tree) ATTACK SPIDER WITH SWORD/USE SWORD ON SPIDER (after attacking the spider already) CUT BUSH WITH SWORD (after you freed yourself) ATTACK BEAVERS WITH SWORD (at the beaver court) And that's it for Shokomon's quicky guide. Feel free to modify. Other Guides: 1. WoLfgIrLyS' Possible Day 1 Walkthrough 2. LaHaine's List of Actions 3. Raindear's List of Actions 4. Kovia's List of Actions 5. Bugzilla's List of Actions 6.

POSSIBLE ENDING (Thanks to Starscream): I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU CAN MARRY A SPIDER ------------------ And that's it for now. If I missed anything, feel free to add it. I will add new day stuff after I actually play the new stuff. Edit: Finished updating the guide! It's not really a quicky guide anymore, but oh well.

Posted February 15, 2017 3. Once free you can continue forward to another dead end with an oak tree. And how do we continue forward exactly? This happens everytime I try: > CUT BUSH WITH SWORD Hoping that some horrible creature isn't about to swoop down on you, you lunge sideways and grab at the handle of your SWORD. After a few desperate seconds your fingers gain purchase on the hilt and you pull it towards you. You use the blade to saw away at the brambles and free yourself. > GO FORWARD You try to go further down the trail but fall unceremoniously back down into the bushes. You'll need to free yourself first. Share this post Link to post

Posted February 15, 2017 Does the badge change depending on your ending or how many times you've played? Share this post Link to post
Posted February 15, 2017 If you already PHYSICALLY freed yourself and don't get a reply along the lines of 'went up to trail then stumbled back into the bush', then you don't need to worry about getting back out. Whenever you revisit the area after figuring it out, you aren't actually in the bush, it's just ghost dialogue from the first time. The progress in areas like this are in the new segments that pop up! I hope this helps;) I cant count how many times I have cut the bush down (how is there a bush even left), but no matter what I fall back into it. Chop down bush Follow squirrel In bush again -- Chop down bush Follow path In bush again --- Chop down bush Go back In bush again --- This bush apparently really wants a friend (or thirty) Share this post Link to post
