ok yall i need more help

i read somewhere that the water key is [spoiler] in a lockbox in the bar, can someone tell me where to look for this lockbox? i have a feeling it has to do with the deck of cards you frob but i cant find anything to open. [/spoiler]

i still dont know what to use the crowbar on

The Crowbar will come into use when you get further in the game. As for this lockbox in the bar? I didn't know there was one! :o [SPOILER]Since there must be one i guess it's in the Cellar or behind the Bar. It's so dark in there though, it's hard to see anything![/SPOILER]

The final version looks amazing Sterlino! Fantastic work. I've gotten a bit stuck though.

[SPOILER]I'm playing on the easiest difficulty and i can't find a key to open the chest near the water key area, also i can't seem to get past the 2nd metal gate, the one with the turrets.[/SPOILER]

Any help would be great.

Thanks

To get past the second gate after you get past the first one there will be a patrolling archer with a key on his belt, he patrols from the second gate to the tunnel like area just past the first one. The key opens the electric switch box just after the tunnel, open it and use the switch to turn off the lights and use the valve on the right( you may need to lean in some and it will open a grate in the tunnel which will take you past the second gate. Once there just past the second gate the first room you come to has the key to open the chest(it says oxidized key). As for the actual door to the chest once past the water key the door right ahead on your left can be picked, the key is in there. Watch out there is more than a key in there!

Good Luck :thumb:

Where do you use the Fire and Air keys.

In the shop, the middle display has a locked near the floor. Where is the key. I've collected all Element keys and have been right round the entire map. None of the keys I've collected work this lock.

The key for the little door in the shop is behind the ice bomb display (careful you dont highlight the bomb itself) and the fire and air keys are in the area across the quicksand lake (through the forest, past the little fairy, across the suspension bridge. :D

Thanks for the info on the shop key.

What I wanted to know on the Fire and Air keys, was where do you use them. I have them I just couldn't where to use them.

Got ya. The little shed near where the burricks are on the floor smash the square below, as for the fire did you get to the area where the monks are? Its in there.[SPOILER] When you first come into the woods look to the right of the tunnel where the spiders were and there is a place you have to hack through to get to the monks.[/SPOILER] :thumb:

Thanks again. It appears these don't work in Poor Mode as well as the Water key. I also cannot finish as the 6 secrets won't tick off even though I have 8. Thats fine now I know where everything is I'm off to expert mode.

I played on ghost so maybe Sterlino put things in different places. just a hint to make your life easier and get a good laugh also[SPOILER]The no blackjack law sucks so I found a way around it, get guards to follow you to the lake area and jump in the area where the fire is you can mantle up on both sides, you will get them running around chasing you and eventually they fall into the waist high water and drown, no more guards.[/SPOILER] :cheeky:
