I'm stuck after getting the letter "U". When I tried to leave the room where I found that letter, I got the message "You came here to find my power, but are you worthy enough" and I was forced back. When I try again, I'm forced back again. I don't see an alternate exit. I feel I'm softlocked, but I'm not sure what I did wrong.
Hello ! This room is the tiral of Llwyn, Normally, the camera begins to move after the text and you have to stay the most at the center of the screen during the trial. Remember to equip the harmlet of Llwyn to pass trough the holes. Here is the video of the trial ( I tested it just now). This room is optional until a certain point : you can go forward to see other parts of the temple and going back after. That's the reason why I didn't put a checkpoint in this area. But you will need the U letter to complete the finals enigmas. Good luck !
Hello ! Welcome here ! The V1.4.4 is the latest english version. I keep the old one for save compatibility with old players who want to play again (due to remigration of global variables in the game). If you look in the download archive there is a manual with principals controls of Amber (Page 2). Basically, use A to jump, and arrow up to interract with animated objects and doors. All the game is based on graphic enigmas, so don't forget to bring a little scrapbook and a pen, patience and curiosity in your travel !
Hi. I'm enjoying the Play Tiles version and I seem to be stuck. I have the key, lace / ribbon and heart stone, all 3 bangles and the first 3 tiles, the middle tile of the 2nd row and all the last row of tiles. I've picked up a ghost who I need to take to a workshop, but can't work out where that is. I've opened up the hammer and wheel doors and one more. I am really struggling with the tile puzzles.
I'm not sure where to take the ghost, where to get the two remaining tiles or what to do next.
Hello ! Whoa ! Nice run ! I'll try to help you at my best, my english is not quite good. I can provide pictures for expanded advices.
Just to say : you made a huge part of the game, the two larvae who left are on you path.
I'm so glad to see people like you going so far into the game despite its unatural design at some point !
For the larvae puzzle, focuse on the advices hidden in the descriptions of the objects that you collect in the differents area. You can see the descriptions in dedicated rooms. Maybe you will need a paper and pen to keep notes, or taking screenshots.
For the workshop, there is two options : If you recovered Felung (the blacksmith), her workshop is in the Abysses of Baedd, in the blue area under the herbalist's room (the one who gives you the herb box, you have to jump using the amrlet of Baedd in the pit area).
If it's Cynamaw (the weaver), her workshop is accessible by two ways : in the necropolis (the first area you explore), under the room of the guide (first PNJ that you met), there is a closed door. If I remeber well the door open if you have the good ghost BUT there is an other way : in the entrance of the mine, juste before the area where you found the larvae R, you can go at the very left and use the armlet of Baedd to jump into a secret room. Then, use the armlet of Llwyn at left to pass trough a fox-hole and find the workshop.
Just in case : did you find any bugs during your play ? I'm focusing on some critical bugs that appeared randomly (not in the app, but with the same rom), so any help could be ... helpful !
Thanks. I have just discovered another larvae, the first one on the second row. I found the correct workshop (in the yellow area with the lifts) and picked up another ghost. I also found where to put the heart. So far no game breaking bugs and although I've looked at the descriptions for all the objects I've collected I'm still not sure if I'm looking for specific words or reading the clues and working out a new word.
Okay, nice to see your progression !
The clues are specific words written in the larvae language (which is our alphabet but mixed with oghamic design). You can find words written in the larvae language in the descriptions, and they correspond to some puzzles. There is much more objects than puzzle, so you have to find the good ones. On each door of the tombs, there is an object drawn ( à jar, a hammer, etc) which is related to the object that you have to find to have the good word.
I've returned 4 ghosts to the correct locations. I have two locked tombs, but I think they might both need the missing larvae I don't have. It's on the middle row on the right.
The two doors I have left are the one that looks like scissors and the one with the deer / stag head. I think the clues are the copper mirror and the relic, but I'm not 100%. I've been everywhere multiple times and talked to all the ghosts I can. I also found two doors with multiple larvae places, but no clue image.
I have one blue spinning circle on my staff and I can't see any of the others.
Did you go back to the manual : If you find objects or unlock part of the game, some clues have to appear, and especially the words for the locked doors. We work together with Playtiles to provide extra clues in the manual for this kind of situations.
I can't reboot the game from my location (christmas thing, you may know), but I think that you miss the U/V larvae. So you have to pass the trial of Llwyn, it's located in the red aera, close to the tomb where you find the armlet, behind the door with a fox head on its pediment. It's a 3 larvae puzzle, but the answers are engraved in dedicated rooms near the door's area (there is an animation on each room when you enter).
