Dali Group: Members Posts: 31 Joined: May 2002 Posted: May 28 2002, 06:00 Hello Everyone, I was thinking: maybe we could get together some sort of walktrough for the game. There are walktroughs for allmost every game. Of course, this one is a bit different. But still, the main things could very well be described. A good starting point would be the map we find at the official MO site. We could describe how to get to all points on this map, and then go on describing the more obscure/hidden details. If I could get some help, I am willing to compile everything together. So, this is why I announce: Anyone having any info on the game, meaning that you have found an interesting place, item or whatever, please describe in detail how you get there and the things you have to do first _ for instance how many rings yoyu need _ and then send it to me via e-mail. I will compile it, rewrite if need be to get ' one style' and then publish here in this newsgroup and other MO-related sites and places. Of course, you will be credited for your contribution. My e-mail is: staalfamily@hetnet.nl Hope we can get this going!!! Dali Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: May 28 2002, 13:27 OK here goes! It seems that there are many combinations and different ways to get rings. The final way I got seven rings didn't even include one way (the piano game) that I had earlier got a ring from. Order is very important in this game. 1. First I went to the shell on the beach (near Stone Henge) and got the ring from inside it. 2. Next I went to the tree with the gold rings on it and took the rotating ring. The voice says i'm good and then the white branch thingy nearby starts issuing white streams upwards. 3. Go to white brach thingy and get the ring, avoiding the scorpion. 4. You will be told to follow the sprite (lots of diamonds shimmering) - catch the sprite and then go to Stone Henge where you'll see a dancing baby under the main arch. Go through the baby and you'll turn into a seagull that will fly to an island. On the island (with an Easter Island type stone head) you can get another ring. Avoid the black cobra but go for the white cobra (shoot it or go to it) and it will lead you into the sea, finally handing you over to a lovely sting ray. Then you will be able to swim with dolphins. 5. Throw rings at all the dolphins you find (except the static avatar dolphin) and the rings will land on their noses. When you have done this to all of them you'll be escorted to the land by the sting ray. You'll notice some changes. Go firstly to the cactus and then you'll see four horses. Go to the horses and watch a fantastic sequence where you'll be taken to the lake and the horses fly off. Go to an island on the lake with a tree and praying mantis where you'll get your fifth ring. To get out of this area you must go to the temple and shoot though the big gate behind (floating in white). 6. You'll then find yourself back at the cactus. Go to the cactus then go to the red stone near the hand. Go onto the stone and you'll be escorted to the ring game. If you succeed in getting three rings in the portal you'll find yourself in the temple with the cats where you can get your sixth ring. On getting the sixth ring you'll be taken back to the cactus. 7. Finally, go to the Ayers Rock like hill where there are the three ring-gates. Go through the ring to the far right and play the tricky sword game. If you get three swords through the portal you'll be taken to the temple to get your last ring. Then you'll automatically be taken through the rebirth tunnel and out to a beautiful scene where the desert has bloomed. Let the fairy thingy between the cats say some encouraging words to you and end the game (or go back to the start by flying through the head satute's eye!) That's it! Of course there are MANY,MANY more places and events to expereince and there many be other ways to get 7 rings -this walkthough is simply to get the 7 rings. Someone else can describe all the other places! Have fun. -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top

You can do it even faster by going to the temple after getting the ring from the mantis and going up to the bulls head. You will then be transported to a secret landscape where there is a ring sitting somewhere. You will then be taken on journey through space on a winged horse and end up back at the temple where you can claim the seventh ring and finish the game. Back to top

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: May 29 2002, 16:41 I'd just like to add to all of the above that, after the mantis scene, something strange happened to me. I took the ring that the mantis gave me and I found myself once again on the beach... and the shell (where ring no. 1 is) was shimmering again! ... and, guess what , ring no. 6 was inside it!!! After takin' it, the landscape suddenly turned into black night and I was near the temple ... with a big spinnin' ring in front of me. And, despite Mike's (?) voice telling me to go back, I didn't, I simply took the seventh ring... et voilà... flight on the spaceship, tunnel, GREAT music... ... and a wonderful rainbow on a green field. Game over. P.S.: I don't know about this, but it seems to me that ring no. 6 was randomly placed (i.e. it could be anywhere else than into the shell), as a kind of "award" for gettin' the other 5. Of course I may be wrong. P.P.S.: I still can't get to the planets sequence... still stuck upon the spaceship. Anyone willin' to help? -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

timshen Group: Members Posts: 684 Joined: Mar. 2001 Posted: May 30 2002, 00:04 Ugo...I also got stuck on the spaceship. You need to aim at the planets and keep your left mouse button pressed down. Keep going towards the planets and don't worry if they dissapear, just keep on going - they will reappear near you. Don't turn to any other direction just keep heading straight towards where you saw the planets. Hope this helps. Initally nothing will seem to happen and it may seem there's a barrier, but keep pressing on! -------------- Expect Great Things. Attempt Great Things. Back to top
