Stuck! And getting VERY sick of death messages!

[brassfire]

Ok, that hole when you fall off the beanstalk is very cute - for the first 15 times. After that, it gets really annoying, and so does the death music.<br><br>Where the ^^&^%&^$^%%#%^(*&$@^ do you click on the beanstalk for the second screen? Once it hits the blueish bend, there's absolutely nowhere that I've clicked that works!!!!! Arrrrrghh!<br><br>Maybe I'm just nearsighted, and if someone who can actually see looked at it, they'd see some sort of path - but I sure don't.<br><br>Seriously, I was counting, and I died 23 times so far.<br><br>HEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP! <p></p><i></i>

The second (higher up) beanstalk screen is actually the easier of the 2 to navigate! <br><br>On the second screen, if you click the walk icon, (I.e the red dot on his foot) is anywhere on the centre of the beanstalk (not on the outer edges), and do it bit by bit... you should make it up to the top. <p><a href=http://www.qknowledge.net/RoyalQuest>Royal Quest 1 and King's Quest vga</a></p><i></i>

Maybe what I'm referring to as the second screen is what you're referring to as the first screen? I've clicked in the middle... I'm one screen above the automatic climbing part, after the beanstalk first grows. And if I click anywhere at all on or near the blue bend, in the middle of the stalk, at either side, wherever, it doesn't matter, I fall. <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br><br>Spoiler wanted... <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :( --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /frown.gif ALT=":("><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p></p><i></i>

There's no real spoilers here...you just have to find it for youself. I do find that if you don't pay as much attention to the Graham character, but instead, just use the hand icon and ONLY click on the beanstalk, your chances of climbing up without dying are higher.<br>For instance, if it looks like Graham's hands are off of the beanstalk, don't worry. Just worry about clicking the hand ICON on the beanstalk...<br><br><br>Anonymous Game Developer #1 <p></p><i></i>

Just save the game when you are near the top. And restore the game then, it works for me. This is stunt player so don´t panic.<br><br><br><br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>

Actually Fribbi, it's in Graham's contract to do his own stunts. (His medical expenses is atrociously high.)<br><br>Of course, he's read the script to the new KQ2 game, and it's been a long, drawn out negotiations period to convince him to do the things we've asked of him in this game.<br><br>Apparently, he seems to recall everytime he dies, and as a consequence is on medication for severe depression. Obviously, this makes him a difficult sprite to work with.<br><br>I can't tell you the number of times he's walked off the screen of KQ2, only to tell us (via a text message) that he's gone to his trailer to call his agent.<br><br>Very difficult man.<br> <p></p><i></i>

I remember his work in the old KQ2. That poison river stuff looked painful, and that pot looks pretty hot. These actor sprites seem so spoiled... <p>Carrots are Nature's toothbrush; celery, its floss.The Shin Sen Gumi motto: Sin, Swift, Slay.</p><i></i>

Why not simply fail the gnomes test and get the key instead of the magic beans, you might lose points but you don't have to deal with the beanstock <p></p><i></i>

[Fribbi]

Maybe in the Royal Quest they could let Graham use the rope from the well to climb on the beanstalk. He will tie the dagger on the rope to make a hook. Just a suggestion.hmmm <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://pub57.ezboard.com/broyalquestfor ... >Fribbi</A> at: 9/20/01 5:30:46 pm<br></i>

Probably too late for suggestions, but I'm certain they'll bypass it somehow. <p>Carrots are Nature's toothbrush; celery, its floss.The Shin Sen Gumi motto: Sin, Swift, Slay.</p><i></i>

I'm hoping by now you've plinked your way up and down that stupid stalk, but in case you or anyone else is still at it, here's some help.<br><br>First, if you're having that much trouble, you might want to save after every millimeter you progress. Second, if clicking in the dark green area is causing you to slip, try the light green highlight underneath. It's those horizontal vines that are murder, and getting down was twice as painful for me as getting up. I had the most success on the horizontal parts by clicking the red dot on the walking cursor's toe over the border between the dark and light greens. If it makes you feel better, I fell just as many times as you. <p></p><i></i>

4 hours, Yodam?? It only took me like 2 minutes. All you have to do is save every so often so you don't start from the bottom each time. It can be frustruating, though. <p></p><i></i>

OOOKKK....<br><br>this is another "tricky" part, I have to tell ya I was sick of the "your dead" screnes after awile too!<br><br>heres how you do it.<br><br>the beanstalk is built funny so ALWAY TAKE IT SLOW!<br>never go past a curve in the climb without saving, unless you like starting over again and again and again...<br><br>anyway the first part of the beanstalk is longer and you have to make sure the sprite(Graham) has gone as high as he can go. (got it?)<br><br>It not easy and the only other way is to get the Key instead of the beans by getting the Gnomes name wrong 3x<br><br>Then you must gain sky level via the locked door in the mountainside...(I'd rather do the beans, faster more fun!)<br><br>cool eh?xxxoooBigBadMojo<br><br><br> <p></p><i></i>
