Posted October 6, 2007 I found all the Machine parts really quickly. I just followed the trail on the map that the Butler/old Gent had laid out for me. There are 3 in the Snowy region, 1 in the Swamp, and 1 in the other area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are 3 in the Snowy region, 1 in the Swamp, and 1 in the other area. Yup GB is right as I have just found them myself. I have also found that last map spot I was looking for. I kept circling the bump in the water but I didnt press it first so it wouldnt show up. Just reached the 3rd Continent now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2007 You've shot ahead of me now! I'm just trying to get to the third continent, but can't afford it! EDIT: Just reached the third continent. Time for bed now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can anyone tell me what I'm missing on my Gooey Swamp map? I've circled Dice Swamp x2 Coloured Flowers Anchor Muddy Head Mushroom Ring and I've only got 63% what am I missing? I did try and circle the explorer camp but it doesn't work Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 6, 2007 The giant ant things. And you can get the explorers camp I think but you just have to keep trying. The giant ants x3 you have to do from outside the dungeon. Scratch what I said about the camp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scratch what I said about the camp How do you map the Ant's heads? I've returned to the Dungeon and climbed out via the ladder and it's not letting me use the Map. Sorted Ah you have to be on the main map, not outside the dungeon. How annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2007 how do you get the recipe for simple juice? I know how to make it having fiddled around with ingredients after the woman said it used oranges and tomatoes... but then she just asks for more money each time I talk to her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how to make it having fiddled around with ingredients after the woman said it used oranges and tomatoes... but then she just asks for more money each time I talk to her. If you don't pay enough money you don't get the whole recipe. I paid around 700 Rupees to get the full recipe from Bella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[spoiler=]One of the big problems was the fact by Bodyguard kept getting in the way and pushing the barrels around, and also the captain was fast and kept pushing my barrels out the way.

Posted October 7, 2007 blimey not worth it!Actually it is. :wink: Well if you want to see the extra ending that is, (and trust me, you do.) as you have to collect all of the recipes for one of the Rupee Goods. Yeah I struggled a bit as well. [spoiler=]One of the big problems was the fact by Bodyguard kept getting in the way and pushing the barrels around, and also the captain was fast and kept pushing my barrels out the way. I did that part without a bodyguard! He died just before and I couldn't be bothered to extend the contract (wanted to change to a different one anyway) so I went on without him. Think it probably helped though as there was no one to get in the way! Was still bloody tricky mind you, a lot of luck involved in that particular battle.

Posted October 7, 2007 No problem. Sounds like you're really getting into the game now which is cool. I've still not finished SPM! Getting there though, slowly. Yeah I am, its really great. I spent most of yesterday on it and I have been playing it on and off all morning. You just have to get past the early stages of the game as its hard to make cash, once you start getting to other islands though the game really takes off and becomes more forgiving.

Posted October 7, 2007 I quit playing this. After getting to the second island on the second continent I had enough. I had been farming for rupees for two hours and had only 1000 left after throwing most of it in the pool. There are at least four people on the island I have to pay plus the recipe for the once again sick reporter. There is no way I will waste time on farming for rupees again. The game would have been more fun if the huge rewards appeared more often, and not every second island. It kills all the fun when I'm forced to cook food 99% of the game to have enough rupees. The rewards are too few and the expences too many. Unfortunatly, I'm having more fun with Super Mario's Picross right now. I really want to play the Tingle game, the graphics, humour and exploration elements are great, but I'm tired of all the farming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2007 you've got a damn sight more rupees than me! I've just finished pirates hideaway and after chucking what seemed like all the money world into the pool I'm left with just 22! do things become less of grind eventually? I'm constantly having to take large chucks of time out to make money! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The first thing you should do is get the map when you arrive on a new Island and start marking locations to make money. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After that, making some juices was enough and I didn't sell some items I found which would have easily avoid me to do that (like the ones you get in pig warriors arenas).

Well the last level I did I found most of the map items and then sold them, but still didnt have anywhere near enough money to pay for both getting in the dungeon and hiring a bodyguard so then had to skimp and save... I defintly dont offer too much for info slowly increment my offers... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2007 What I did at one point (cheating) was save before haggling for something. If it turns out a bit off or I've given maybe a bit too much. L + R + Start + Select and do it all over again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2007 Continued on it while watching season #567529 of Survivor and managed to get a lot of money by completing the map and collecting butterflies. But now I'm stuck, how do I enter that bee castle? And where is that missing hood? Gentleben, I might have spended too much. I didn't think I had to pay everything at once when the NPCs didn't complain. And about the maps, that's a bit obvious. The problem is when the map and everything else is completed and still there isn't enough money to make the tower grow. Which happened to me before 2nd island on 2nd continent. I think I farmed almost 7-10 000 and I surely haven't wasted that when offering too little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
