MS 4 - "Broken Dreams"
Welcome to our quest. We
believe the joy in questing comes from playing, not solving, just like
when the last Christmas present is opened and you feel disappointed. This
is not a walk-though or solution guide: It is simply some hints to help
truly lost adventurers.
SCENE ONE: Adventurer's Guild What can I do at the entry point? Step on the welcome bell. NPCs appear and explain the plot. When the portal appears, take it. If you wait too long, it vanishes. If this happens, step on the bell again. SCENE TWO: Allegria Island Whoa! Is this AI? What do I do here? Our version of it :-) Bump into furres and see what they say. Listen to the idle chatter. Watch for system announcements. Some are plot clues and some are just for fun. SCENE THREE: Shipwrecked! Help! I can't get off the beach! Look around. Search every bit of the surroundings and run into things. SCENE FOUR: Deadly Maze Ack! I keep dying in the maze! Move by squares. Count steps. Turn your character to face the direction of each move. Its only hard when you go too fast. SCENE FIVE: Town What do I do in town? Try exploring the shops. They buy and sell all sorts of things. What do I do with the book? Sell it. In the right shop, of course :) Where can I dig? There's only one place.
Ok, I dug up all the dirt but now I'm stuck. Did you dig up anything?
Look CLOSELY.
Where do I sell the boots? Each shop buys and sells a different item. Check them all. What do I do with the seed? Drop it on a spot you dug up. If the field has reset, get another shovel and dig again. I dropped the seed in the plowed soil and nothing happened? Did you try watering the seed? Where do I find a shovel handle? Try dropping your shovel in that field. I have a bucket. Where do I get water? There is a town well. Drop the bucket at the well and bump it. SCENE SIX: Farm House What do I do in the farm house? Look around. Try taking things. SCENE SEVEN: Lights Game/Mine Field This is too hard!! Yup! But its also optional. If you solve it, you get a map that will get you through the minefield. This is the game of Lights, also called Blackout. There are only 15 squares that need to be F3'd. You need only F3 on any square once to solve the puzzle. The pattern for F3ing is NOT symetrical. Very few players solve this puzzle. If you really way to learn how, search the web for the Game of Lights and read about solutions for a 5 X 5 square. How do I cross the mine field with no map? Trial and error. When the mines become visible, they stay lit for 5 seconds. Run fast and get as far as you can without hitting one. You have 3 misses to get the rest of the way across. SCENE EIGHT: Pillow Puzzle What do I do at the little house with the pillows? There are colored tiles here. There is also a pillow. Pick up a pillow and drop it a few times. Get the idea? SCENE NINE: Graveyard I'm stuck in the graveyard, what do I do? Read the doorpost. It takes
a magic word spoken near the right grave.
SCENE TEN: Doors Puzzle How do I get all three doors open? Think. There is a pattern to it, and more than one way works. Keep trying! SCENE ELEVEN: The Endless Hallway Does this hall have an end? I am so stuck! The hall is exactly 27 steps
long. However, unless you know how to walk down the hall it will go on
and on.
SCENE TWELVE: The Soccer Puzzle What do I do here? The ball moves when you run into it. Get it in a place where you can pick it up and then drop it on the grate. SCENE THIRTEEN: The Machine What do I do here? There are three tiles, black, red and a dotted one. Flipping levers causes them to move in circles around each gear. You will have to flip levers on and off to move the tiles to the right places. I have the tiles lined up, now what? There's another lever by a door. Switch it on and wait.This leads to the end of the quest. SCENE FOURTEEN: Screenshot Area How do I make a screenshot? Hold down your ALT key and press PRINT SCRN. This will place a bitmap file on your Windows clipboard. Now open a progame like MS Paint or WORD and use PASTE to put the image in that application. Now you can save it to display on a website or to print on your printer! Footnootes ENDLESS HALLWAY SPOILER - This puzzle is incredibly easy when you think DIFFERENTLY. You cannot simply walk straight down the hall. There are traps which must be side-stepped. It appears to be a hallway that goes on and on forever. In fact, the hallway is only 27 squares long. You reach a certain spot and are teleported back about 12 squares. This is hard to see UNLESS YOU WATCH THE FRAMEWORK on the RIGHT side of the hall. The hallways has three lanes, LEFT, MIDDLE, and RIGHT. Each lane has a different teleport spot. If you want to solve this now on your own, stop reading. Here's a map of the hall: LEFT
10 Steps [candle] 7 steps [candle] 1 more safe step, then [trap]
The solution, then, is to move to the left lane and take a total of 18 steps, then move to the center lane. At then end of the hall are
3 doorways. The left and right doors send you back to the start of the
hall. The center door moves you on to the next puzzle.
END OF HINTS!
