Any hints for getting the third "handle" in part 3? I have the one across from where you get the boat and the one round the side of the island with the 3 handle-less doors.
Thanks. I found it and finished it last night. The game is great. I really enjoyed the way each chapter had a different mechanic to learn. My only issue was I sometimes found myself lost or unsure where to go. I was tempted to try and reverse engineer to map data format to try and work out where I was!
Love the game but I'm stuck on the second dungeon of Chapter 1.
I've been doing the prism puzzles and I've finished the first two rooms.
For the third (series of ) rooms I have placed as many prisms as I can find on the pedestals, but I'm worried I've broke something because I can't find any more no matter where I point things. I seem to be missing 2 prisms.
You're not the only player I've had to give hints to for this key - I think I underestimated the logic of this puzzle! Might need to patch in a hint or rethink it entirely 😯
I made the bridge to the portal to the village away in the pyramid and ran the other way to the village and then with the key through the portal into the pyramids where there is no bridge anymore.
Love, love, love it and just finished Chapter 1! Few quick questions for you:
1. What is the exact procedure to download the new version containing Chapter 2? Will I lose my save (I know you have the perfect save if we do)? Do I download the file and just side load it again? Or delete the original file first? Delete the game using the system option?
2. If I do lose my game, how do I use the save game provided? Does it just get side loaded like other files?
3. Does your savegame have every piece of food (with none used) and every rock (that’s possible to retrieve)? That’s what I’ve done in my file. Would you be willing to provide food and rock totals for Chapter 1 so I can see if I perfected it?
Simply download and sideload the new version. Your save game will be intact as long as you don't delete it yourself.
Edit: I should mention that you need to sideload the same way (either via web or usb) that you did with chapter one as the game directories are named differently on device depending on the method you use.
The save that I supplied is far from a "perfect" save, but does leave you with plenty of food and a few rocks iirc. While I applaud you for getting through C1 without using food, it is there to be eaten 😅
It’s a technically impressive game that takes me back to my old King’s Field / shareware RPGs. The controls are about as perfect as they can be given the limitations of the playdate, and any concerns I had about visibility on the size and bit depth evaporated. I can’t wait until it’s expanded upon or other people find inspiration in the style
That being said, I’m stuck on the beam of light puzzles. I’ve explored everywhere I can but I either can’t find a mirror or I put one down in the wrong spot and locked myself out of a part of the game. Is this possible or so I need to draw myself a map? :)
EDIT: It figures that I’d solve a problem I’ve had for over a week five minutes after asking for help. Figured it out! I guess it shows where my head is during my morning commute :)
The game I was most excited to sideload onto my Playdate when it arrived, and I was not disappointed. This is a staggering achievement! Can't wait for the next chapters ☺️

Do you need a Playdate to run the game or will it run on a regular computer?
You need a Playdate , but you can emulate a Playdate with Playdate SDK, for PC . You can dowload from here ( play.date/dev/).
( Sorry for my bad English )
THANK YOU
You’re welcome 😉
The game is great, but I wish there was a map. I got lost in the dungeons all the time especially where they are all similar and lacking landmarks
this game looks amazing! I love the retro art style !

Yep, no big secret to this one! All the cranks are out in the swamp on tables. Try northwest-ish 😉

Itch doesn't have spoiler markup, so I've made a gist with graded spoilers for this one!

Thanks for your help. It was that last hint that did it (it opened a room with 2 mirrors in)
This Game ist Awesome.
Best Game ob the Playdate.
Is there a walkthrough or walkthrough anywhere?
for the game?
unfortunately I can't get any further.
I don't have a complete walkthrough, but reply with where you are in the game and what items you've found and I'll give you some hints :)
OK thank you.
I have 3 Keys and the Ice Magic but no Idea wehre ist Key Number 4.
Itch still somehow doesn't have spoiler markup for comments, so I made a gist with graded hints.
I'm assuming this is the key you're missing, but let me know if it is a different one.
OK thank you.
I would never have thought of that in my life 😅

I think found a way to make the game unplayable.
I made the bridge to the portal to the village away in the pyramid and ran the other way to the village and then with the key through the portal into the pyramids where there is no bridge anymore.
Now I just fall to my death.
Wasn't the best idea 😅

If you do need to use the save file for any reason, instructions are at the bottom of this post.
Hey Garrett what is the second file Etad-C1-IdealSave? Am I supposed to sideload it as well?
It's a save game at the end of chapter one. You can ignore it :)
Thanks!
hands down the best game on the playdate! can't wait to see what else Gareth comes up with.
love the game so far. Just wondering what the idealsave file is for?
Ah whoops, that's for the chapter 2 launch on Friday 😅
What is it for though exactly? I downloaded chapter 2 but not the ideal save
It's a save at the end of chapter one in case anyone lost their save. Explained here: https://gareth.itch.io/etad/devlog/463304/legend-of-etad-chapter-two-update-out-...
I played it a bit
I played it again
