Re: Flood Warning : Dam Slam : Entrance (0)
A couple of hints:
As the horns stand right now, the Guard (blue horn) will appear in the eastern entrance, and Beethro's own clone (yellow horn) in the west. Neither is satisfactory: the guard, at the east, does not have the intelligence to move off the hot tile after killing the skipper, and the Beethro clone suffers from Beethro's own limitations of being unable to use his sword in shallow water. So, the question is, is there a way you can make them swap places so that the guard (who can use his sword in shallow water) appears on the west, while the clone (whom you yourself will move off the hot tile) appears in the east?
Click here to view the secret text ×As we know, blocking off an entrance so there is no direct passage to Beethro means that a horn cannot summon a guard or clone at that entrance. Blocking the western entrance, of course, is trivial, since the orb is working. So shut the western door, blow the yellow horn, and the Beethro clone appears on the east. Click here to view the secret text × Unfortunately the orb that controls the east door is broken. However, now you have something else that can block the way to the east door... Click here to view the secret text ×The Beethro Clone, and his sword, are treated as walls while not in use. Beethro can use his own clone and its sword, to block the eastern corridor, to force the blue guard to appear on the west.
As for getting into the east and west corridors: Click here to view the secret text ×Obviously you've got to rotate the arrows, which means completing the room, exiting and returning. Click here to view the secret text ×And that makes the summoned clone appear at the south rather than either east or west entrance. Click here to view the secret text ×And a single rotation doesn't look like enough. For the western corridor, Beethro can only walk " sideways" (SW) onto the southern SE-pointing arrow, and is blocked in stepping off it by a wall. If he were on the northern arrow, he could step SW... but the wall prevents him stepping *on* to that arrow. Click here to view the secret text ×However, the arrows can be rotated underneath him, and the arrow rotator token is usable more than once... set the clone on the job. Click here to view the secret text × - Enter from south (or from elsewhere - coming back from the east or west secret room if you've already been there, will do, but go to the south entrance). Rotate arrows.
- Go north through the diagonal arrows to the centre.
- Toot the yellow horn to summon your clone, who appears at the south entrance (this is why you can't do it on your first pass through).
- Step onto an arrow on either west or east side.
- Tab over to the clone, and rotate the arrows back to pointing horizontally.
- Tab back to Beethro and step vertically onto the other arrow next to him.
- Tab back to the clone, step off and back on the token to rotate the arrows to diagonal again.
- Tab back to Beethro and now you can step into the corridor, walk to the end and step onto the other pair of arrows.
- If he still can't step off the screen, repeat the above procedure to jiggle Beethro onto the other arrow, and he now definitely can step off the screen. Works at both ends of the corridor.
