Hi! This is probably my favourite of all your games so far....! Great stuff! Unfortunately I am stuck fairly near the end I think. I have assembled my *toy* but still cannot find a way into the tent. I cannot find the skull and don't know what to do with the trowel! Am going round and round and round in circles but can't seem to make the breakthrough on this one! Please help!!!!! Thanks!

Comment by CJ592

assuming you have the 'toy' try wearing it. Then speak to the tent

I'm stuck. I've completed the spectacles task and the winnie tasks. I can't get the serpent to leave the town hall so I can take the ink pot though. Any help?

How do I get past the Yeti?

Comment by CJ592

12 Nov 2008

Cause him to fall down the steps

Comment by max

12 Nov 2008

That was my thought. But when I tried to put something sticky on the steps, it didn't work. Perhaps I am using the wrong tactic.

Comment by max

12 Nov 2008

Well I've advanced. I'm not sure how to get the diamond out of the cutter, or where to find someplace posh. But mostly I'd like to know where to find Jack's skull.

Comment by Hannah

13 Nov 2008

I feel silly, as it seems like it should be obvious, but I can't collect the water from the pump no matter what I try.

Comment by CJ592

13 Nov 2008

To get the water from the pump...
use bucket on drain (this places the bucket directly underneath the pump)
Turn pump
Now the bucket should disappear and a bucket of water should appear

Comment by max

13 Nov 2008

Seriously... Do I need to find bolt cutters?

Comment by CJ592

13 Nov 2008

Yep! You need bolt cutters

Comment by Mighty Mole

13 Nov 2008

Looks a great came. Unfortuately I haven't got very far yet. How do I empty the bucket when I have something else in other than what I want.
Also cat is still up the tree and I've not got the furnace alight.

Comment by CJ592

13 Nov 2008

TO empty the bucket just Use bucket on ...... whatever you filled it with in the first place. If it water, use bucket on drain. If its sand use bucket on sand etc....
hope that helps

Shake the tree!

Comment by Hannah

14 Nov 2008

I had the bucket full of sand...no wonder. Thanks and great game :)

Comment by Mighty Mole

14 Nov 2008

Thanks I'd tried to kick hit punch and thump the tree and various other things to get the cat down!

Having done well since I am stuck. Probably need skull next but not sure where look. Have tried using trowel everywhere I think!

Whew. This was a great game. I can really tell that you're getting better at making these. Great humor and nice subtle clues in the descriptions. I especially liked the interaction with Simon as a foreshadowing of what to do later. That took me a while to work out (that and looking for the bolt cutters).

I only got 3 out of 5 trophies though. Any clues on the others? I got the Explorer, Exorcist, and Best Best Man.

I'm doing very well at finding it then! Looking forward to find a home for a pot of sticky insects. As far as other tasks to be done I am not rich enough yet nor have any where posh to go. But have an idea of wher ethat will be later.

Bronwyn I had the same problem try putting bowldown in a specific place

Gamer! Have you read note in kitchen and done some counting? (I think that might be the answer but I haven't got there yet)

Comment by CJ592

15 Nov 2008

Hi Mighty Mole. What 'lots of money' are you trying to get? Do you need to buy the marriage certificate?

Comment by Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

Got marraige certificate and had it signed, but not processed. Seemed rather a lot of money is asked for and I haven't worked out how to pay or get around paying for it. Some hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Comment by CJ592

15 Nov 2008

Ah yes. You need to find another way of getting it signed. Distraction, perhaps

Comment by Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

Thank you. I had tried before, but had not out certificate in correct place! So simple

Comment by Mighty Mole

15 Nov 2008

OK so having got my invite and given it to my partner reunited a headless ghost I am in trouble again. Can't seem to get rid of Mum and now having put my ants down in the funcation room I cannot pick them up again. I really am enjoying this game but I am probably missing the obvious again.

Comment by CJ592

16 Nov 2008

Damnit! I'm sorry there is a glitch. I tried so hard to make sure everything works.
You may have to restart as the pot of ants is not take-able, but it is drop-able! You need to use the ants on the banquet

Comment by GAMER!

16 Nov 2008

Can I have any help on what to do now? I've got to the inner sanctom but I can't take the feather because I kept being teleported. I've got the pot of holy water and I can't find the skull or figure out how to get the marriage sertificate processed. I really need a hint.

Review by Mighty Mole

16 Nov 2008

Thanks. A Brilliant Game. Probably the best I've played. The little bits and pieces make all the difference the challanges of time as well as the added extras of hidden trophies. I got 3. I am looking forward to game 4.

Have you returned the skull to the ghost?

Comment by max

17 Nov 2008

A long time ago I played a game called Leisure Suit Larry. I'm not sure which one it was, but when you finished the game, if you didn't get 100%, it would hint at areas to explore in the endscript. Perhaps you can consider writing that into your next game? I'd really love to find the other two trophies, but now that I've beaten it, I find myself unable to explore new commands.

Comment by GAMER!

17 Nov 2008

I haven't got the skull that' the part I'm stuck on.

To find the skull, you need to complete all Gnomeo tasks and the Puppet Tent tasks.

I'm finally getting around to playing this one. Much fun, but of course, I'm stuck again. I suspect my personal bottleneck is getting the honeycomb.

I've helped Gnomeo twice; the ghost wants his skull; the Cat Hedral guard wants a pass; the puppet theatre won't let me in. But I bet I have to deal with the bees first before I can do any of that, right?

Have you got the sock? Socks give good protection!

Comment by David Welbourn

Heh. No, I'd missed that completely. Thanks. Knowing what to look for, I found it quickly and will continue my quest... By the way, I have found two of the trophies so far, one of which I haven't seen mentioned here yet. It's not called 'Hero of the Beach', but it could have been.

Yeah, and already used it to get through Oblivion. Just to make sure, I got back to the grave and summoned the ghost (i didn't even think he would come back again), that's when he asked me to help him cross over. But still I don't see how to help him :-(

Comment by CJ592

09 May 2009

To Yahel... It's something else that stops her getting to the wedding! It's tricky getting up the Steppes in a wedding drress ;)

To Davikin... It seems you have stumbled on a side quest. This will eventually lead to a trophy. But it involves finding something hidden. It doesnt affect the main quest

Review by Carrot

11 May 2009

I am loving this game. TA's hold a special place in my heart as they were some of the first games I played (on my Acorn Electron no less).

Well I am currently stuck.

So far I have rescued/fed Winnies Cat, unblocked her gas valve and found her honeycomb.

I don't know how to get at the glass cutter. I have read through this page and saw mention of bolt cutters, but have yet to find any.

I have white flowers but need red (and don't seem to be able to pick the red ones by Gnomeo).

And I am missing part of the puppet.

Oh, and I drank the soda!!! (was this a mistake).

So far I have to...
...get a dragon pass from the village hall to ride the dragon taxi
...find a way to mend Cyril's glasses
...get some red flowers for Gnomeo
...make a #### puppet with #### and ####!

Any hints here? (not looking for answers, just hints).

So far I have been to the Market Square (Caravan), Guild's Row (Blacksmith & Laundarette), narrow lane, Cottage (Outside and In), Haunted Grove, Garden Centre, Lover's Grove, Gravel Path and the Beach

And I am carrying A pair of Broken Spectacles, a small Bowl, a thick woollen Blanket, a Bucket, a pair of Bellows, a Gold Ring, some glass Shards, a rusty Saw, a Bouquet of flowers, an Empty Can and a Sticky Sock.

Should I have filled the pot with tlas before I filled it with retaw yloh. Only I don't seem to be able to empty the pot of retaw yloh either at the tnof or the niard.

Looks like I may have to restart.

Got the Beech Trophy though. 3 more to get ;)

I dont think you need to restart. The Pot of TLAS is a red GNIRREH. WEll done on getting the beach trophy, that's the hardest one :)

ok. Will soon be home to try some more. Maybe I should elknirps tlas at the evarg. If not, a hint would be appreciated.

Comment by Carrot

12 May 2009

OK - I am stuck. I have the Spirit Ball, but the Ghost still needs to be crossed. Using the tlas fo tekcub or retaw yloh on the evarg results in "There is no reason to do this at the moment" and "You don't want to do that yet" respectivly.

The puppet tent is empty. I don't get a response from Winnie; Cyril only wants to talk about Births, Deaths and Marriages; Simon only offers grammatical help; the Receptionist asks me what I want, but I don't know how to reply (if I need to at all); The Queen wants her feather; I don't get a response from the Cook and Super Mum isn't in the mood for talking.

Gnomeo and Daisy seem to have dissapeared and I don't know what to do next.

I am carrying:
Bellows, Blanket, Bolt Cutters, Bucket (tlas fo), Pot (retaw yloh fo), Spirit Ball and a Trowel.

I think I have explored everywhere. I'm stumped.

Comment by CJ592

13 May 2009

Hi Carrot. If you have the spirit ball you probably have enough to finish the game. Crossing the ghost over is part of a subquest (another trophy). You wont be able to use the salt or water unless you have a reason to. Somewhere there is access to a book whcich describes what to do. Did you ever find the library ticket? That's the one item that is difficult to pinpoint

Comment by Carrot

13 May 2009

No, I didn't. Maybe I should have looked at the book a little closer.

Comment by Yahel

14 May 2009

Ok... the steppes... maybe I should get rid of the ice I made earlier, shouldn't I?
I can't figure out what I need to do that...

Comment by Carrot

14 May 2009

OK, found the Library Card :) - now have 3 trophies (Forest, Beach & Grave).
I have also gained some Gold Jewlery :).

I still can't seem to catch the Quail (although I would like to find the other 2 trophies first).

I talk to the Cook, and get no response and Daisy is still missing.

I am carrying:
Bellows, Blanket, Bolt Cutters, Bucket, Empty Pot, Gold Jewelery, Old Book, Spirit Ball and Trowel.

I have given the invite to daisy and she's disappeared, I can't get into the function room and although I gave him a skull the ghost still isn't happy. I know what it says in the old book but i'm guessing holy water is in the inner sanctum and judging by gnomeo's comment I need to make the ice on the steps go away but for that I'm gonna need salt.

I'm getting a bit annoyed here. Please could someone help me

glad you enjoyed it. Look out for Sir Loin 4

Review by Tony

26 Feb 2010

I'd already won the game with the happy ending and 3 trophies(BK E SS) but I was stuck finding the remaining trophies, particularly the exorcism.

I'd read the old book with the exorcism details and I'd tried using the salt and holy water on the grave and get the "you can't do that yet" responses. Tried it before and after giving the skull to the ghost. Such an easy solution in the end. And that trophy leads to the final trophy.

I thought the combination puzzle for the inner sanctum was particularly amusing.

That's the Shiversword and Loin games all played in the last couple of weeks. I'm an addict. Great games.

TO distract cyril, use the bellows on the paperwork
To mix the concrete go to the laundrette

OK got a bit further distacting cyril but still can,t get the stamped marriage certificate

Comment by Tony

11 Apr 2010

Sue - have you got the marriage certificate signed by both bride and groom yet? If so then you need to sneak it back into the pile so Cyril will stamp it.

The grinder is used later on something else.

and you'll also need the broken glass.

Comment by sue butler

11 Apr 2010

Yes I,ve got the certificate signed and stamped and its in the out tray but I can,t find any command to get it back out even when I distract Cyril with the bellows.Thanks for your help

Comment by Tony

I can't remember exactly how I did it now. The only save I have is right after I have picked up the stamped certificate. Have you tried x out tray while Cyril is tidying up his papers?

Hello
I have been stuck in the same place for about 5 days now....and cannot seem to advance. Here are my tasks:
Collect the Quail Feather to complete your first task as a knight
Find a diamond ring for Gnomeo. Diamond???
When you believe there are spirits nearby, kneel and then pray! (tried this now need to find the skull)
Take Daisy out somewhere posh
Try and find all five secret trophies..(I have the explorer trophy)

The cook won't speak to me, I cannot seem to find the skull, I have examined, searched, used everything on everything as far as I can see....and spoken to everyone...
Can anyone give me a little hint just so I can get a little further please?

Comment by sue butler

01 Jul 2010

I haven,t played this for a while so I may not be much help.I think the skull is in the hamper in the tent.You need to get into the inner sanctum past superior mom have you got the pot of ants?

Comment by arhino

01 Jul 2010

Hello Sue
Thank you for your reply.
Yes I have the pot of ants...I have also put the glass cutter into the anvil and released the diamond, just can't find it in my inventory or in the blacksmiths...
It won't let me give the ants to Superior mum....is that what I am supposed to do?

Comment by arhino

02 Jul 2010

I have restarted again, and managed to find the diamond, finish the wall and am now trying to remember how I got the library book from Winnie last time.....I get no response from her now that I have the pot of jam. Any ideas?

Comment by sue butler

I think you put the ants on the banquet.Have you asked Cyril about death I can,t remember but I think if you do he tells you to go and ask Winnie about a book hope that helps.

now i'm stuck on (amongst other things) the steppes. how do i get rid of the yeti?

also stuck on how to get the honeycombe and how to get into the tent on the beach. Any ideas anyone? anyone at all?!?!?1

Comment by CJ592

12 Jul 2010

How to get rid of the yeti. Te mountain pass is very chilly.... perhaps you can make the steppes slippery.

The honeycomb. Maybe if you protected your hand with something? somthing wooly!

To enter the tent, you have to create an item that you can speak through

Comment by Dave

13 Jul 2010

thanks for the hint CJ.

well past the yeti now but must be overlooking a big bit of the game cos I haven't even found the honeycomb yet, nor the metallic items for the cement.

any clues?

Comment by sue butler

13 Jul 2010

I think outside Winnies cottage you see some white flowers x them and follow the bees.As for the metallic items I think one may be something like the bolt cutters I can,t remember now.Hope that helps a bit Sue

Comment by Dave

18 Jul 2010

Thanks again Sue,

I'd been playing the game online at work (on my breaks, obviously!) but have downloaded it at home and really apreciate the save function!!!

i think i'm nearing the end, but i've been stuck with the same problems for some hours now.

how do i help the ghost pass back? i have the salt (and have put it where it needs to go) but not the holy water.

although i have the salt, there's always too much for the cook! how do i give her the right amount? (that's what she said...)

i still need access to the function room.

i know all my posts have ended like this, but... Any ideas!

Comment by Dave

18 Jul 2010

also, i dropped the pot of ants in the forest and now I can't pick them up again. will i need them?

Comment by sue butler

19 Jul 2010

I,m sorry but you can,t complete the game without the ants and I don,t think you can pick them up again,have you found the ID card yet?And have you used the salt on the steps.I played this ages ago so can,t remember very well but I know I found it really hard which is why I log in sometimes to try and help because I find it really frustrating to get so stuck Sue

Comment by Dave

20 Jul 2010

Thanks for your help Sue.

So does that mean I will have to restart the game to get the ants again as I can't take them from the forest floor?

Yeah I've got the ID card and used it, along with a circle of Salt. And yeah, i've used the salt on the steppes but not sure what to do once i've done that.

Thanks again Sue.

Comment by sue butler

20 Jul 2010

Yes I,m afraid so you need them to distract superior mom to get in the inner sanctum.You could try emailing the author to see if there is another way but I think if you read all the previous comments its a bug,sorry

Comment by Dave

23 Jul 2010

Thanks for all your help Sue,

I restarted so I could get the ants and have finished now! I just wished I'd started with the first game and worked through to this one, instead I found this game and started it before 1 & 2.

Any news on when 4 is out? Can't wait!!! :)

didn't work.

Comment by CJ592

19 Sep 2010

Breeze did you say you had found the code? if not, you have to use a verb you used earlier (something to do with fingers)

now where were there some steppes before?

Jackie, the BK trophy is easy to get. you just have to repeat something a few times...

do i have to repeat something in a particular place or goto the same place a number of times for the BK trophy.

Yes you repeat an action (that you probably have done a few times already) eventually you'll get it.

I have three of five trophies. It appears as though I'm missing the BBM and Ex from what I've gathered reading this forum.

I'm pretty sure I can finish the game, as I have the feather, and could give it to winalot, but i have yet to do that because I want to go to the wedding and stuff. When I speak to Juniette, she doesn't say anything. I have already poured the tlas on the spets several million times, and though it tells me that the ice has melted, nothing further happens. even doing this, juniette has no love for me, and doesn't budge. i'm also stuck on crossing jack over. i have made the retaw yloh, have contained it in my little top, but, I can't do anything with it.

any help?

Comment by CJ592

13 Feb 2011

hi miranda.

The wedding of Gnomeo happens after you complete the game. THe BBM trophy is the Best Best Man trophy and you get it if you have met certain conditions. may be worth saving the game before you finish.
The Ex trophy is a bit more random, you need to have got the extra library book from the ticket which is hidden in the library book you return. If you missed it you might not be able to get the trophy.
