These are wonderful walkthroughs and clearly you put a lot of care and effort into them. Thank you!

I was playing through a "part" then going back to its start and using the walk-through for it. During first play of parts 1-4, I got so I was taking a whole bunch of time bumping against every wall, tree, rock, wall, etc., in sight, just to try to find all the secret rooms. And, like others have reported, I still missed two things that I found using your walkthrough.

By part 5 this bumping everything had gotten really old, and replaying a whole part for the sake of maybe finding one missed thing was also not causing happy anticipation. So I downloaded just the prose for part 5, then spent time deleting all but the physical directions - got rid of encounters, treasure/weapon lists, advice...everything but "go left then down" stuff. By the time I hit the end, I'd pretty much forgotten what I erased. I played something else for a day or so, then came back and, using the stripped walkthrough, entered Rillia.

It worked - I tricked me! I was able to follow your directions without having much of a notion what I was getting into, or was going to find. Furthermore, I didn't have to bump into everything, and I was pretty confident I was not missing a thing, while still being able to mess up by picking the wrong characters and/or weapons to fight with, or forgetting to have Baretta amp up a weapon, and so forth. And I know it took less time to strip the walkthrough than it would have for me to play the "old" way, bumping bumping bumping.

Technically, I am of the opinion this is still "cheating", but the way you have to play to find everything there is to find is so tedious after a while that, given my tedium threshold, I believe I'd give up playing the game otherwise; yet with the stripped down version I can play without feeling like I'm re-enacting someone else's discoveries.

Thought I'd share this in case others might like to use this approach. But don't get me wrong, I still think the walkthroughs are incredible +::YAY

Thankyou very much for the compliment!! I am glad that it helped you a little bit.

It is preferable that people do as much as they can unless they get truely stuck, so your stripped down version is a great idea!!!
