Captain“s Log Stardate 201811,24

After traversing the cave by putting a rock up the geyser thus opening a secret passage, using the reflective glass to deflect a laser barrier and narrowly escaping acid dropping stalactites, Wilco has encountered a strange lifeform that after some initial confusion (he had forgotten to turn on his translator, thus he got sent back and had to traverse the cave again!) promised to help him escape the planet in exchange of a favour.

That favour entails dealing with a creature that lives in a cave on the surface.

In case Wilco runs into any more trouble I“ll have to have a word with the boards AI @PiecesOfKate bot again. First I“m gonna have him try out a few things during the course of the day, though.

Captain Out.

Update: Yay!!!

(I think I should also add that I“m about to traverse to a new location/chapter. I think I“ll take a break here).

Yay, well done my brave space cap’n! :slightly_smiling_face: [I’ve been upgraded to Kate 2.0, which comes with the smiley extension]

Wise - you might need to psyche yourself up for quite an infamously difficult quick-time event shortly :wink:

TBH right now I“m stuck for the most stupid reason ever. The aliens offered me a vehicle to escape to another place but I forgot what it is, so I cannot use it! :weary:

Do you need to specify that? :thinking:

I canĀ“t just say ā€œuse…thing…!ā€ :man_shrugging: :sob:

There, there. Have you used an inventory item recently?

I read out the info on the cartridge if that is what you mean. I also took it out of the aliens computer again. ā€œWiselyā€ as they told me.

Oh okay, cool.

I don’t remember having to name my destination - I think you need to do something to use the vehicle. Think of how vehicles usually operate.

No, the problem is I don“t remember what the vehicle is called. Looking at it doesn“t really do anything

Have you got the vehicle though? Maybe you just need to turn it on. Which doesn’t have to involve saying what it is.

But to put you out of your misery it’s a skimmer

Thanks! Yeah I just forgot the word. I“m standing right in front of it and cannot do anything if I don“t know how to call it!

And OF COURSE that skimmer can“t touch even tiny stones! :smirk:

I thought you could just type ā€˜turn key’ but maybe that’s after.

You have to sit inside first before you can do that. I couldn“t have gone on without being reminded somehow what that thing was, again!

Yeah so my strategy is using the slowest speed setting now, but that also means that evading the stones takes really long and won“t help much either. Also it seems to take an eternity to approach that horizon.

Here are my save games from when I did it :joy:

(I had to crop because of spoilers)

Yes, I meant to say that :+1:

Just keep saving and persevering. I hated these arcade sequences. There are worse ones in the later games but some you can fudge a bit.

Yeah, okay so I“ll just save every few passed stones.

Just like I beat Dracula in the first NES Castlevania on the NES Mini. Save after every hit without getting hit yourself. :grin:
