Nooo... found all the items, mapped out my forest, and I can't get back to my boat. ;.;

Let's try random clicking for a while. >.<

Maybe that's my problem.... >_>

I have the same problem. I couldn't click on the other path next to the boat so i had to click on the one above it.
I've completely mapped out my whole maze and I have 8 of the 9 items including the jaw bone, but i must have gone through the jungle like 12 times and I still haven't found the branch or the ship!

TnT have really glitched this out! I had to wait like half an hour going through the jungle before i found an item that wasn't the nail gnn thingy and the thorns!
I'll just go back on in a few hours and see if its ok then.....

It's one with a black ominous shape hanging in the middle, between the trees. Reminds me of a big ugly spider or something. I'm positive that one of the paths leading to it, isn't supposed to lead to it. I've had all the things for hours now, and have tried in depth mapping, clicking at random, you name it.

Is anyone else who's stuck, using a mac?

I'm on XP as well, but I just remapped and I seem to be having the same problem, but not on the same page.

I hope TNT doesn't dole out points for this step based on time. I've been clicking around since 4 this afternoon, I am more than slighty ticked off.

well I must be impared in some way or another, because I can't find any items in the jungle(except the branch, which was on the first path I took)! o_O

I went and mapped my maze a second time and am only getting 13 screens again. But what's weird is that on the screen that has 4 paths, the one in the middle leads to another screen, but that screen does not lead back to the one with 4 paths. The two paths on that screen lead somewhere else (both of which lead back to it). Does that make any sense?

And I also have 2 different one way paths that don't go anywhere except back to the screens I came from.

Ahhhh I'm so frustrated!!

Does this remind anyone of the temple of 1000 tombs? At least that one was easier to map because you had a series of symbols instead of "Path Tree, Tree, Tree Path"!
At least it's a new puzzle, I was getting sick of battledoming

Andromeda, your paths sound like they're doing what they should.

Have you tried drawing a physical map? Label a box as A. Inside this box, draw what the page you're on right now looks like. Don't label the paths. Also draw on physical features like trees, flowers, rocks, mountains, so that you can differentiate between very similar screens. Make sure paths curve the right way and twist the right way.

Now pick a path, label it B on your map A. Make a new box. Label the box B and draw what B looks like, as above for A. Pick a path, any path, but make sure to remember which path, so you can label it in a second. After clicking the path, check to see if it took you to A, or if it took you to a new one. You should end up with 24 plus boxes with different sets of paths, with each and every path labeled inside the boxes as to which set of paths it takes you. You will need to continue exploring and backtracking until every path has been explored. Maybe you'll have more luck than me.

ARRRGH! Maps... Evil... Not even ToW was this evil...

cookiemunster, thanks for replying!

It seemed strange to me that I could get to a screen using one path, but that I couldn't get back to that screen at all. That doesn't seem like it should happen, but maybe I'm just thinking too much XD

But no I haven't tried to draw a physical map, I'm just doing it in photoshop. The screens are far too similar in some cases for me to do a good job drawing them out.

heh I'm about ready to give up for the night. I'm not sure if there are actually loops as part of a glitch or if I'm completely missing something, so maybe some sleep will help! Although I tend to be really stubborn and want to work things out until I get it!

Found all my items and fixed the boat. I am still tied up at the island.

nastynarcizo · #192 Post by **nastynarcizo** » Thu May 24, 2007 5:53 am

I clicked around for an hour without finding anything but the branch before deciding I needed to get on this board. and since my first post I have found everything and got back to the boat to fix it. the magical luck of PPT, my hero!

I wasn't even sure there were terminating(one-way) paths until I started mapping. When I got my last piece, I found I had seven terminating paths. But I only mapped 21 rooms, so I might have had even more. Some part of me wishes the maze had never loaded, because I spent hours mapping and for all I know they'll reset the whole thing to fix the missing-room problem some people are having.

sunnyneo's guide says "You have to complete all the steps up to this point in order to have the hammer/motor and the thorns in your inventory. They will not show up if you have not completed the steps before this."

all steps as in... what? all puzzle completed? or..? any ideas?

P.S. to any Stephen King fans who have read the gunslinger series--the jawbone cracked me up. (I just started re-reading the series again last week.)

LOL yes!! At least now we're protected should we run across any demons. :roflol:

Ah, I just woke up. Looks like I'm going to spend my night mapping, oh what fun! XD
