Title: Episode III - Stumped already! :(
Post by: NTheGrey on February 19, 2011, 12:21:46 PM
Hey there, KQ lovers!

I hate to admit this, but I started EP3 a couple of days ago, and I have NO idea how to proceed.  With the exception of picking up a couple of items, I have made ZERO progress.  Can any of you out there point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Well, theres a lot we could point you to--maybe you can give us a specific thing you're stumped on and we can start there?

[spoiler]So far, I've encountered the un-distractable guard dog, and I can't figure that one out.  There's the butterfly stuck to the web.  Finally, the snapdragons on the IoW, who hold you even though you don't die...which I found peculiar.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated![/spoiler]

There's a spoiler tag button on the taskbar you can use to hide spoilers :) (I edited your post to add one)

For the guard dog:
[spoiler]Have you wandered around the castle much? Listen in to what the other dogs are talking about. See if that helps you figure out how to distract her. [/spoiler]

For the butterfly:
[spoiler]You'll need something to help you 'catch' the butterfly. What do people usually use to do that? See if you can find an item like that. [/spoiler]

For the snapdragons:
[spoiler]Did you play KQ6? Do you remember how Alex got the snapdragons to loosen up? See if you can achieve something similar with what's available to you when you're caught.[/spoiler]

I actually figured out the first one right before you responded!

I know what object one would use, but I cannot find one!

As for the last topic, I did play KQ6, recently in fact, but I had something then that Graham does not have now!

The butterfly:
[spoiler]You need to visit the other islands to solve some of the puzzles--including the butterfly one.[/spoiler]

The snapdragons:
[spoiler]A flute isn't the only way to make music. Graham's hands are tied, but how else can he make music? It's related to one of the Episode 2 contests.[/spoiler]

Worked out just fine!  Thanks for the tips.

I had forgotten how difficult KQ games could be, and you guys are definitely keeping it alive.  Haha, this Chessland routine...

Cheers!
