That sounds like your antivirus might be blocking the extraction somehow. You may need to load up your anti-virus and tell it to let the program run.

Edit: Also we did have one person who for some reason the download didn't get all the files. If you still run into trouble let me know and I can post another link for you to try.

I still cannot see "icicle flowers" in Embefield potions shop? I downloaded what was at the site.
the game.exe file says modified 6/12/2014. size 137KB Am I not getting the right file? The older one has the same date?
Thank you for any help.


The file always shows that date, as that was the date the game was started. But it does sound like you don't have the fixed version yet, try going to BMTMicro and redownloading it, as the new version was updated yesterday. If not, let Indy know as it means the update didn't take somehow.

BTW, the Icicle Flowers are at the bottom of the list of what is for sale. Also due to the way the engine saves maps, you will need to leave Emberfield and come back before it will register, as the old map is saved in your save file as well, but once you leave the area that will no longer apply and it will properly load the corrected map.

Go to the beach and to the secret room there, then talk to those people. Note it only shows up in Chapter 9 as an option to buy.

Much mahalos. I went to the beach but I didn't remember people in it before. I am in Chap. 9 and trying to "clean up" loose ends.

About Jilnoa :

Spoiler: show
what I was thinking at the time : her companions were taking solid dmg so I imagined once I take them down first she becomes vulnerable somehow ...
My second ideea was her weaknesses : I scanned her with Kira's skill and I saw she was sensible to confusion/asleep/silence and 0% resistance to KO skills - I had only one KO skill from Sarah - so in my mind immediately I thought I just hit her with that skill and she instantly dies +::biggrin +::biggrin .... unfortunately it didn't work

Is quest WIN1 possible to complete in Chap. 9? I cannot find an NPC named Haera in the accessible areas of Winterglen now. Got the document though, after harvesting angels.

I only found about the crab contest in the beach by reading the Strategy Guide as I clean up loose ends.

NEVERMIND! I must have walked by that person repeatedly. Looked like a rock to me. +::biggrin

Not a bad idea, but the Shadow Layer blocks a lot. Thankfully you'll soon learn how to remove it.

He's the guy in the black robes on the West side of the cave. He should be there.

I don't know what happened to that "darkness bunny" but he died instantly after 3 turns lol

Another bug report :
Spoiler: show
after you capture Marie ... if you are a curious guy like me and go back to retrace the steps and the road of the bridal party instead of running away - you end up finding some dwarfs and fairies that you cannot interact with at the top of the road - there is also a secret room there but it is a massive jump - from SR#31 to SR41 - clearly I wasn't intended to find it at this point in the game ... I will attach a screen so you see where is the place exactly


https://ibb.co/x6wnGDZ - the dwarf or fairy have no dialogue when you try to talk to them .

Odd, you should have gotten a prompt to not go that way or the guards will get you. I'll have to see why the prompt didn't trigger. And yes, you don't want to go to SR41 yet and take that treasure, in fact I'd load a game before finding that if you still got one, for reasons you'll see soon.

If that isn't an option I can fix your save for you later, but you'll need to get to Chapter 8 before I can.

it's okay ... I didn't got the treasure... figured I play fair ... I continued going down and followed the path back ...

Ok, good. You'll see why I said that when you finish this Chapter. I'll look into it this week and see if I can figure out how come the event didn't trigger to stop you from going there. Thanks for the report.

The icicle flowers are there now. Maybe I just downloaded it too early? Thanks !

Oh man ... and I had so much money hoarded and I had bought so many weapons from the best secret room where apparently the merchant upgraded his stock to feynium weapons for some reason .... that was so cruel +::cry

Another quick question: I've noticed that the secret rooms are definitely quite in order (yay!), but I haven't been able to find #14. I found #13 in the river we needed the icicle flowers for, and I've found #15-17, but not #14. Any suggestions? Thanks!
