Quamtotius Purgamentum (Crap FM contest entry) 08/12/06

[The_Dude]

Oh well there's the answer!

[gorice]

Arrgh!!

I'm stuck in the same place phedre was stuck, back on page 1, with the problem of how to use the blackjack effectively.

Can Origami Thief (or someone else) please spoil this for me, as I'm getting sick of dying in that lonely little dead end room.

spoiler:

spoiler:

Room with a bunch of guards and 4 keys. Apparently I need to use the door at the end of the short corridor in combo with my BJ to KO the guards?

[The_Dude]

There is a bug in Thief which this was designed to exploit. The way I complete it is to

spoiler:

run round the room as fast as you can picking up all the keys and opening all the doors. Then jump on the ladder. 3 of the rooms are dead ends, 1 leads to a small room. When all the doors are open, jump off the ladder and try and get a bit of a lead on the guards (you can use the forward and sidestep keys to go faster). Once you have a lead head for the room and go into the room and slam the door shut; blocking the way with your body. The guards will then swarm to the door and every now and then one of their heads will stick through the door and you can BJ them (you may need to move some bodies out of the way to achieve this). Once you have BJ'ed them all, a small switch appears.

You have nearly finished.

The_Dude:

Ta. I'd got as far as the last part, it was the exploit I couldn't figure out.

[The_Dude]

I thought I would just do a full explanation in case anyone else is stuck in future.

Don't forget it's meant to be silly!

[Yandros]

Man, requiring someone to exploit an engine bug to complete a mission is just plain crappy of you!

[sbweightman]

can someone help me with the way out of the flooded hammerite room?

spoiler:

i found the key, but it didnt open any doors

Also do the torches do anything?

[The_Dude]

Also do the torches do anything?

Yes they bounce up and down!

can someone help me with the way out of the flooded hammerite room?

spoiler:

As far as I remember, just keep running until a ladder appaers and go up!

spoiler:

And then repeat!

[Gloria Creep]

Where can I download this "Potter"like mission then?

[The_Dude]

You mean you haven't played the crap contest missions?

They are good fun if very very silly. I can mail it to you if the links have gone.

Nice mission
I'm in the

spoiler:

zombie area and let all the zombies get killed by the sword

But how do I get out of here? I read a post about the cross, but I did all I could to find anything on it, even climbed on top of it again.

I didn't know I could use the

spoiler:

"umbrella's" in my inventory to make my way down in the hole. I didn't even know what was IN my inventory So I just fell down and during that, used my climbing buttons to try to get up. That made me nót fall dead on the ground.

I used the fire arrow I found to clear out the arena area. Is there another one to unblock the way to the 4th entrance?

Help me here, please?

Gloria Creep

[The_Dude]

Nice mission

It's crap!

Once you have killed all the zombies in the cross room you should after a short delay get teleported out. If you do not you need the TrapTimedRelay script.

Well, I quit!!
I tried to beat the guards in the

spoiler:

flooded room, found just one key, and than they killed me over ánd over again!!!

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm DONE!
I NEVER felt this way about a FM, but this one triggers me to the limit

I guess thát's the intention of a "crap mission"..... well: it's INGENIOUS
ánd CRAP!!!

Some Taffers got beyond that point? .... in playing this game ....? HOW!??? I'm só curious!??

What do you have to get in your inventory .... and what do you have to get to release ............. to get to the end!
I read all post replies ......... still nó answer!
???

Gloria Creep

[Gloria Creep]

OK. I tried again ....ánd again .....
I just want to see the rest
Please help!!!
I don't see a ladder anywhere and I also found just that one key.
I'm still in the

spoiler:

flooded room.

Gloria Creep

[The_Dude]

The ladder appears after about 10 seconds so just keep running.

[Gloria Creep]

I walked around for about 3 minutes, used all of the three healthpotions I got left .... and still died
I never saw a ladder anywhere. This is very frustrating!

Gloria Creep

[Printer's Devil]

I didn't even consider scrolling through the inventory (considering you have about seconds) to find that umbrella. I promptly dismissed the effort as junk.

Then I found this thread, attempted to use the umbrella, failed to land once in twenty tries, and dismissed the effort as junk.

Suggestions?

[gorice]

Right-click on the brolly multiple times on the way down. If you touch down in one piece, leg it for safety. But be aware that some of those safe havens cannot be entered yet, due to invisible barriers.

[The_Dude]

Use the brolley once immediately to slow yourself and then almost immediately again and you should be OK.

@ Gloria the ladder should appear on the wall under the opening on the left higher up on the wall. If it is not you have the TrapTimedRelay problem. See earlier in the thread.

[downwinder]

i am in area 3 where the zombies and cross are,but i only got 1 fire arrow and blackjack how do i kill zombies without a sword?




i figured it out lol

[fortuni]

Unna's post doesn't explain why we have released a fix for a Dromed Toal Crap mission.

When you enter the Surreal room if you frob the hidden button before you frob the 3 gongs you are teleported back to the start room, but then can't get back to the Surreal room, this is bad as you need to frob all 3 gongs to open up tunnel 3 to proceed with the mission.
