Previously I think I got there as there was a bug in the program, now I think I have found a genuine way of doing it...the land features remain there and so do many other features, even the Daliphant, which you can go right up to (2 dimensional!!!. The way to get into this mode is to go to the small Ayer's rock with the spherical jewel thingy on top. Enter the spherical thing until you are caught it it. Instead of going forward to be sent to the Origin, back out of it and you'll find yourself back in the MVR world. You'll get a soothing music and you can explore MVR WITHOUT BARRIERS!!! Anytime! Have fun. Tim   -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Dec. 26 2002, 11:29 Ooops! I tried again and realized that it's not exactly as i put in the previous post. The way to do it is to NOT enter the mystical part where you get caught by the sphere thingies! Go close to it and almost into its centre without being taken to another dimension. Then quickly pull out of it. The soothing music should continue and you should be able to see the spherical thingy over the rock some distance away (it normally vanishes). You will then be able to navigate MVR without the barriers! It's a bit tricky to get it exactly right but you can keep trying. I can do it almost every time now. -------------- Expect Great Things.

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: Jan. 12 2003, 03:07 Yes Maria, you're right! You simply have to go into the Sprite Master (not too deep though) and then speed out between the metal rings without touching them. The Sprite mater will remain over the small Ayers Rock and a soothing music is heard. This works most time for me now :-) The last time I did this I went up to the Jupiter like planet and found out that it is 3D - not flat like the Daliphant. It also has cool rings around it. As yet I cannot see anty purpose for this free flying environment - maybe there is none, except that of having a great fly! -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

kris Unregistered Posted: Jan. 14 2003, 00:57 I haven't had any luck with getting the barriers-free zone by going to the sprite-master, but I did get it another way which I think is repeatable. First, I got the ring in the shell.   Then I got the second ring at the alter by playing the rings game.   And then I went to the doplhins behind the waterfall.  The flying manta-ray returned me to the shore, but everything was "dead" including the cactus.  I couldn't do anything, but then realized I could fly all the way to the volcano and all of the little islands in the ocean.  Not terribly exciting, but at least I could repeat it a few times.  No daliphant or Jupiter in this mode since its technically "No Man's Land".
