O.K. I'm stuck

#1 Post by Summer77 » Tue Apr 05, 2011 4:12 pm

I'm where the Leprechun is and he wants me to guest his name. What's his name so that I can get the magic beans instead of a key?

The gnome (not leprechaun) is a reference to the old fairy tale about Rumplestiltskin. Except that's not this gnome's name. Sometimes it's wise to think backwards.

It's Rumplestiltskin spelled backwards.

Looks like Telltale has the right idea after all...

Ouch, Radogol. Still, you have to admit, the gnome's name is an excellent example of the supposed "dumbing-down" effect what with the difference between the versions of the game. Still, I tend more to think of that as removing a touch of "moon logic" rather than dumping a old-style "advanced puzzle."

You can beat the game even if you don't know his name, just saying. :p

AGDi made that specific puzzle impossible to get more people posting in their forums. >D
