Navigating the swamp
Please can someone tell me how to get through the swamp. I've got the page but the directions get me nowhere. Anyway how can you go south followed straight away by north? You might as well not have moved. Is each direction just one screen or what?
Please help cos clearly it's no problem to anyone but me.

Wait, do you just need to be told how it all works or how to actually get into the swamp?
The directions you see is a common adventure game puzzle, using clues to navigate though a labyrinth, you go North, that's N sorted out, you go South, that S sorted out, keep following the designated direction and you'll be at the destination. Alot of adventure games use this, it has nothing to do with reality it's just a puzzle. Hope that explained abit.

Thanks for replying. This is the firstgame i've played so i know nothing.
I'm in th e swamp I've got the page .my directions are SNWWNSWSSW but I don't get whether this is one direction for one screen at a time or what. Also if I go South then North surely I'm just back where I started?
That's why I asked
Cheers

Also, make sure that you're doing these directions from the second swamp screen.
If you look at the map on AGDI's site, it shows Swamp Entrance, and then a Swamp square to the right. Follow the directions when being on the swamp screen to the right of the swamp entrance.
Hope thats not TOO confusing

I figured out the poem quickly, but I have got different directions:ili wrote:my directions are SNWWNSWSSW
SEWSESWWNW (Spiders earnest with spindly eight spin webs with negligible weight.) does that make sense? no it doesn't. Because when I go in these directions, I always get poisoned (plus I go east-west aswell).
Or do I have to rearrange the words?

Make sure you start from the correct screen. Find the scene with the flies, go one screen east to enter the swamp, and then start following your directions.
Also be sure to keep out of the water. I believe you should always be able to exit in any direction and not be poisoned.
Also, the directions don't deposit you directly at the castle. You'll see the castle in the screen to the north. When you see that, go north.

ok, so the screen with the flies is the one north of hagathas cave, isn't it?navynuke04 wrote:Make sure you start from the correct screen. Find the scene with the flies, go one screen east to enter the swamp, and then start following your directions.

unfortunately, with the screen being so dark, I can't figure out what's water and what's not ...
edit: I changed my monitors brightness ... should work now ...

Yes.ok, so the screen with the flies is the one north of hagathas cave, isn't it?
When you exit a screen, make sure you do it in the middle of the screen. You might also want to adjust the brightness on your monitor.unfortunately, with the screen being so dark, I can't figure out what's water and what's not ...

Okay, well here I am....with the damned swamp problem.
I totally understand about the directions not being "real life" since we're playing in a magical place, however, why is so damned dark? When will it turn day again? Can I just find a safe place to wait til day break then do the swamp thing, or do I have to find the castle in the dark? Or another concern, is my monitor dying? Is it supposed to be soooooo dark that most screens are almost complete blackness? Sometimes I catch a glimpse of Graham especially when he's (I've) walked into the poison swamp....one hundred million times.
Any ideas.

You most likely need to perform adjustments on your monitor settings. Change the brightness and contrast levels to a higher value.
Failing that, get a utility like alter the gamma correction of your monitor. Your graphics card MAY have one somewhere in its settings, or, depending on what other software you have insstalled, you may have Adobe Gamma in the Control Panel.
