Hello richmond.

Spoiler: show
The answers you want are nose, isn't, there. The answers only reveal themselves if you've inspected all three notes. I'm looking at the game from my end right now and see no reason as to why it wouldn't work. Have you solved the house, slide and boulder puzzles?

Yes to all questions. That is why I cant figure out what to do here.
Just wondering....do you read 1 letter at a time and go to the snowmen perhaps?

That shouldn't matter. The way it works, mechanically, is that each time you read a letter the first time around, it adds +1 to a variable. Once that variable, which starts at 0, hits 3, you get all the dialogue options. I just looked over the snowmen script, and there's no way to reset that variable. Could you try interacting with all the notes once more?

Hello! First of all, thanks for spending your time making a great looking and very original game. I'm just starting to (maybe think about) making my own game and it's already over-whelming (in a good way). +:::|

Anywho, i'm absolutely stuck at the beginning and I can't progress. I don't want to give up just yet! I've already taken others suggestions about dealing with the difficulty, but I've had no results (i'm on casual mode).

I've cleared out the first part of the Unkempt Garden. I climbed down the rope/ladder using the worn gloves. Any monster after that kills me after three or four rounds. I tried numerous times to run around them but a certain purple flame monster always traps me. I just tried 18 times to get around him... I've ventured around the other areas and the Slugs kill me after three rounds.

From what i've read, the first Stat Point is in the lower part of the Unkempt Garden? I feel like if I could just get that one Stat Point then I might have a fighting chance. Is there another, easier Stat Point that I'm missing?

Thanks for answering and, again, for making the game. I've never been into the fighting aspect, so I know that this game isn't tailored for me, but I wanted to try something different! +::grrr

Hello eemilyy!

Spoiler: show
If you ask around in town you'll notice that there's a guy looking for a lost ring. This ring can be found in the area west, then north, of town. This'll give you your first stat token, which should make the early dungeons much easier!

As for the game being focused on combat. I'm hoping you'll enjoy the parts after you've finished the "starter" island a bit more, since they have a lot of non-combat puzzles in between fights.

Oh, and thank you for the kind words! They mean a lot to me.

Hello muddi1956!

Spoiler: show
In the Rock Temple, located north of the island once you get off it. That place is difficult though, so make sure you enter well prepared.

The Sand Mine randomizes the spot as you first enter the place. Which hints were you given on the notes? They all lead to only one possible spot. It doesn't have to be on a crack, hole or table, it can also be below the tracks themselves.


CELIA:
I found a stat token in a crack in the sand mine. Could you please tell me if that is all there is there, or should I be searching for more? could you please be more specific, where this spot is which I'm to find?
I'm getting very frustrated spending hours running around, and not finding anything. Almost ready to give up on the whole game.
HELP PLEASE

P.S. you can always pm me if you don't want to give away the secret here.....thanks

Hello gaby5516!

Spoiler: show
Yes, that's the reward. Have you tried talking to Guy about needing a hint? He can be helpful sometimes. There are one or two minor chests in there too, but they give nothing special, so you don't have to worry about searching for more treasure in there.

Hi. Thank you for all your help. One of the lettes in the ice cave, although I had read it, I didn,t save and got killed . That meant I was always one letter short for getting the correct sequence for the snowmen. Wow.
Anyway, have now got the correct sequence and now I have been stuck fighting these snowmen for half a day. I have obviously not got the correct skills to kill them. :(
How will I now progress cos I need the gloves and have no more skill tokens left. +::cry
What skills should I have to beat them?
How do I now get more skill tokens at this stage? +::fear

Hello richmond!

Spoiler: show
Glad to hear you solved the note problem.

As for the fight itself. It's difficult for me to tell you if your build is correct or not as there are many different builds to use. That being said, by the time you're at the Ice Temple you have access to a total of 6 optional dungeons. Those are: The Unkempt Garden, The Slug Village, The River Cave, The Sandy Place, The Slime Fort and the Church Cellar. Each of these give you one stat and one skill token, plus a craft kit. There's also multiple hidden bonuses spread throughout the world. As an example, there's 1 Stat Token to be found on the island (The lost ring quest), 1 Stat Token and 2 Skill Tokens to be found once you first get to leave the island, and then 2 Stat Tokens and 1 Skill Token once you gain access to the lantern. If you've cleared everything up until the Ice Temple, you should have gotten 13 Skill Tokens and 14 Stat Tokens. Good luck finding the ones you've missed!

For fighting the 3 snowman in the ice temple, what I did was just before talking to them I used a fruit salad, then I hit them with everything I had.
