Treasure Island - stuck on stepping stones

#1 Post by Bobbin Threadbare » Fri Feb 25, 2011 11:49 am

just need a small hint here... ;D

after crossing the "counter-weight" bridge, I came upon stepping stones that float on swamps. Based on the hint from map papers, it indicates sequence of colors I need to follow. The problem is I can't seem to find the next step after the third color. I already check if my guess about the color are correct because there are loop paths back to the starting points. I even have mapped every color on stepping stones on piece of paper and didn't find any possible path across.

Am I missing something here?

Maybe you've got to go more than once.

You must use the color order twice in order to get across. That looping one is a fake route, but there's a real one too that involves the same color order, but different stones.

I figured it out as well. It would have been nice if there had been in indication that we have to do it twice.

We didn't want to make the correct answer too obvious.

I have spent the last hour and still haven't figured this out, I'm about to throw stuff in my room. So I go blue, to red to yellow, to green, to white, to land, but then they are saying twice? So i try to jump on the land on the left side or right side of the screen after the white but can't. i dont know...

The last line of the poem also refers to a color that's very much part of the pattern.

This is indeed a tricky 1. Everywhere I step I keep dieing too. Wow. I guess we can just keep working at it.

Pattern? What pattern? All I see is stones changing colors, but I am not seeing a pattern.

Look at each line in the poem on your treasure map. Each line represents one stone.

Thankyou, but I am still getting killed. Any other ideas?

you don't have to wait for the stones to light up, you can use the eye to look at each rock and it will tell you what color it glows. You can look for a path easier this way. Also try to make a bigger jump then you think he'll be able to do.

Look at each stone - it gives a hint of what color it is.
There's also a "brown" stone, though it looks like dark yellow.
