Manny Group: Members Posts: 48 Joined: May 2002 Posted: Sep. 03 2002, 19:18 There are three stones (with rings inside) around the cactus zone. One is yellow, another green and the other seems red. They dissapear when you touch them but there's a sound (the magic sound I guess) when you do it and then your point of view get fixed as if viewing something. Until last night I thought it was the same stone changing colors each time you touch it but I could touch the three of them in a row.   Does anyone know what are they for?.  By the way, I still can't find the third diamond ring and the bombastic alternate ending, any clues?

Manny Unregistered Posted: Sep. 04 2002, 13:24 Thanks, Andreas.  Well, the colors made more sense: red + green + blue = white (according to computer graphics).  Also, there something else near the ring (to the right) but I can't see what it is, but sometimes when I pass over it again my point of view remains locked around it.   So it seems it's a neverending story.   Also found very annoying that Sally tells "too many rings" when you have three of them, so you go and get rid of one of them in the fountain and, can't believe it, you're given another ring! ¡¡??

I just by accident got locked to the blue dragonfly (well, I'd rather call it an ant queen) that's buzzing around at the origin and managed to get the ring off its back (though that's bloody hard, you got to hit right on the spot). I also somehow managed to make the seagull take me to turtle island with just two rings (no bush/sprite/stonehenge) and thus get the 'art in heaven' ride with just three rings. Maybe because I hit the disc cloud and the boomerang swarm before, which also gave that 'magic chime', and then picked up the seagull. Or maybe because I've already been through to the end once before and returned to the origin. Hitting the cloud/boomerangs/pink sprite apparently also lit up the yellow firefly swarms indicating the tree/crab/shell rings. Back to top
