10 Rooms Contest Entry - Lost in the Far Edges - 25 Feb 2014

If anyone is still searching, here it is:
look in the NW corner of the room, right side of bookcase next desk. A bit above eyeline is a frobbable stone on the wall. Contains a fat purse worth 500 gold.

Has anyone also found the water arrow in the rafters, near one of the mushrooms? What is its purpose?

greetings

Yes, I found that small water arrow, but like so much else the player is left to guess at its purpose. I haven't stumbled on a use for it.

Vine arrows freeze in v 1.1 for me...

I downloaded v1.1 again in case it was a corrupted d/l but same thing happens.

I did manage to finish - jumping with slow fall potions, but took many reloads and wouldn't really recommend it :sweat:. Finished in the forest hole fairly short on loot but the room below the walkway boards that you need to break and the Goliath walkway that has been mentioned seem only obtainable with vine arrows. Hope a new version sometime may fix the problem.

Thanks to the author nonetheless for a challenging, unusual entry :thumb:

Thanks, but which walkway is it?

Sorry, I misread your question! Goliath's walkway: is in the area where the haunts are (Goliath is walking up there). It's the same room/area with the vents under the floor and the elevator behind a gate. It's all in the building you get to via the ladder that drops across the roof. Hope that helps a bit more!

Thanks everyone for the help, but I'm stuck again.

Has any of you experienced that in the forest it's very easy to get lost or run around in circles? I met some spiders, treebeasts, WOLF, loot, even a safe place that is a dead end, but now I don't really know how to proceed.

I thought that was probably it. But on one edge of the first part of the map there is a a walkway patrolled by a black figure, and I wondered if that was it; however that one is inaccessible I guess.

I think that as long as you have enough loot, and have been down into the safe place, that's it - the mission should end.

Finished. Quite difficult but excellent mission, entertained for many hours. The part of the forest was a surprise, at least in terms of the final.

All secrets found. 5200/5400 of loot.

Boy oh boy. Stuck again :tsktsk: I'm in the vents. Got loot/gas mines, and opened the hatch to the outside. I can see two gargoyle statues way above, but vine arrows are not long enough for me to jump on. Vine arrowed everything I can see, but they've stuck to nothing else but statues. Am I missing something, or going about this the wrong way? Thanks :)

Oh, I haven't got key for the lock - in the vents or nearby? I can see a key on a table in the room next to where the haunts are.

FOUND: Spoiler for anyone else lost here and looking for the lever/lock key: Vents > outside > Gargoyle statues > Room via window > keys are on table > opens metal cage-doors back to haunts/Goliath's room

Finally finished! My legs hurt. Thanks to everyone who got me there, esp. Soul Tear. Lovely textures - the forest was the best I've ever seen. Just the tricky and frustrating jumps/mantles/arrowing....dying... over... and over...

Where is the last secret? I've got
1. panel in Cornelius' room
2. loot in tree trunk
3. room with loot statues below walkway
4. boarded up room in middle building with tons of loot

Light hint please, no direct spoiler. :)
