    (( Spoilers Below))

    So I know there are faq pages out there, but I'm really trying to get this down myself, however I can't seem to do it... So I caved and checked a walkthrough, and I still don't see what I'm supposed to be going after. These are the things I can't seem to get:

    1. Past the stone arch on the beach in the glade of palm trees there's supposedly a monkey in a tree that will drop a dry coconut, not one of the green ones, which I can't seem to find (the brown coconut or the monkey, I've found the 3 green ones).

    2. Past the fire cave, there is a small metallic object on the wall, which the walkthrough suggests using the knife with handle on it, but when I combine the two into the spear (it looks like a spear, not a knife with a handle) she continues to say "that's odd, I wonder what it's for".

    3. I found Jep, and managed to get his head dressed with a clean bandage, but a walkthrough suggests that I make a mattress for him out of straw and a vine (the other walkthrough I found suggests using a bit of shaved coconut) and I have a vine but no straw. Supposedly the straw can be found near the broken willow tree (near the clay pit) but I can't seem to find it. I've got all the bamboo from that area, as well as the willow bark and still no "straw". A different walkthrough suggests that it's near the scarecrow, but still I can't seem to see it on the ground.

    4. I want to make a fire for the bellows to fire up the kiln near Jep, but I can't seem to find the firewood that is supposedly "right next to the kiln". Possibly I'm just not recognizing it as firewood?

    5. I found the small area with the bubbling pond and the snake. A walkthrough suggests that I pin the snake with the forked branch to retrieve the "rubber" from the tree, as well as a plant from the ground next to the snake, yet when I pin the snake down I can't cut the rubber from the tree with my knife, nor do I see a medicinal plant. As well, I can't seem to retrieve my stick back, so I've had to restart from the chapter beginning so I wouldn't loose my stick.

    6. When I first ascend the rocks to the island's "inland", I'm supposed to pick up a young palm tree (after the cutscene of looking at my watch) but I also can't seem to find that.


    I know I must be missing something with these little hang-ups, but I can't seem to pass these few sticky areas. Anyone have any luck or have any tips that might be able to get me through the hard times?

    Hi Sushibox,

    I am from the Tetraedge Team, maker of the game, and your problem is unfortunatly simple : You use a PC version Walkthrough, but the iPhone version is a Different one!
    There is many change in the iPhone version, so many things you say are simple not in the game. A complete iPhone Walkthought will be soon available, and it will be post on this forum too.
    And to help, we will soon release an upgrade of the game with a "special" link, in it, to the complete guide of the game.

    For example (¨SPOILER ) : to heal Jep, make a cure with willow bark (you need water, and how to heat it).

    Other Example : Don't search the "firewood", it is not there!

    If you need some hint, before the release of the iPhone Walkthrought, just post here.

    Hi Ash,

    You say that you have a "Jep with oil" and you want him to have the Knife?
    You must first "dismentle" it, like an object. Drag Jep on the Wheel on left.

    I'm having a few problems.

    1. I can't find the Gorge Trap Box. I already sent Jep up with the screwdriver and deactivated it, but when I go up to the plateau and tap on it to open the puzzle, nothing happens. What do I do?

    2. Maybe it's a bug, but I can't find the 4th crystal/key. I keep restarting the robot level hoping it's a bug that will fix itself. I killed the robot with the cannon outside the Granite house, the one by the lake, and the one by the bridge on the plateau, and the broken robot. I can't seem to find the key for the one by the lake...

    Nevermind. I'm in the Nautilus and the Robot is asking me riddles. I keep tapping items on display but nothing happens.

    Right now he's asking "Captain, show me his strange creature which we never eat. But it always drinks".

    There's something that looks like a fountain in the middle of the glass case with the books and letters by Jules Verne. I tap it and nothing happens.

    ???????????

    I have been playing and enjoying the game a lot, but then I have recently really got into the Point and Click genre. It is a pity that they called the hotspots (which are the staple of the genre) "hints", making one feel inferior when using them ;). Given the detailed graphics style I really wouldn't want to play without. Randomly tapping all over the screen just isn't that exciting, IMHO.

    Otherwise - very pretty and so far all the puzzles are logical and satisfying. Music could have been better, true, but then one can shut it off.

    Anyway, I have hit a snag - my first inventory page is full and I don't see how to switch to the next one. "Auto" button doesn't distribute the new-found objects anymore and the button with arrows in the inventory doesn't do anything either. What did I miss? Please, help. TIA.

    P.S. I am a fool, but thanks to Donkei that won't detract me from playing RTMI. You have to _slide_ the arrow button in the inventory to switch pages, not tap it.

    Please help... So stcuk at Kiln!

    :mad:
    Ok, I think I've read every walkthrough/hint/forum on the Kiln part and I've tried it about 8 times (yes, restarting the level!) and I can't seem to get it.

    I used the bricks to fix the kiln, I use the seal skin to fix the bellow (but there is still that icon over it) and then I assemble the fire. When I go to put the fire in the hole (where the icon is), it disappears from my inventory list but doesn't start a fire. I've tried this so many times I'm actually losing patience now.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated as I'm now losing my mind!

    Thanks,
    Chels

    Riddles with the Robot - Nautilus

    I can't seem to figure out the riddles interface -- I simply can't figure out how to manage the "showing" or pointing to things for the robot. I tried touching everything in the room -- or as much as possible, I tried to use things from my inventory -- I am not sure how I "show the robot" and also go around the room -- get him to give me confirmation that I have shown him the right thing.

    this is very annoying -- and the walkthrough -- handy before -- doesn't really help. it's wierd because of the whole "inventory" process for all of the other pieces.

    riddle answer not on any of the other pc walkthroughs either.

    help

    Hi,

    Logically, you just have to touch some particular object in the room, and there is 5 questions. I can help you, what is the first question the robot ask you ?

    Hi Joehunt,

    To be exact, if i have been very far from the forum these days, it is because i am very busy with RTMI2 :). If all run like i want, RTMI 2 will be ready for mid septembre :).
    A news in RTMI2 : now there are arrows in the inventory, one for left scroll and one for right scrool!!

    It is not annonced yet, but we are working on Dracula 3, path of the Dragon. Syberia was delayed because it use a different engine!

    I am enjoying this game very much, I have to say, but I am not yet finished.

    Oh, and BTW - could we please have language selection in the game itself rather than in the general device settings? For part 2 at least? It is only by chance that I found out that it can be played in French!

    It would be nice if the texts, once read, were copied in some kind of "journal" and accessible from inventory, instead of having to return to the hotspots to re-read them.
    Also, instead of having them scroll too quickly it would be better to leave the player in control of the "page turning". It seems to me that some lines have been cut off, too.

    But now - a question. Is it possible to use up items improperly and get stuck forever? I kind of hit a wall and I am wondering if I just need to think a little harder or if I need to load a previous save.
