Master of the Wind (Complete!)

[Botsugo-Mitsukai]

This game > me

I've been addicted to MotW for, what, 3 days now? Amazing stuff.

But now I've run into a problem in Arc III. The section where I have to destroy the dam and get the log back to the staircase seems to be glitching up--even once the log reaches the appropriate spot, the lodites continue showing up to push it back. At first, I thought I was just missing something, but then the log actually rolled past the rocks. I let the lodites push it back to the right side of the rocks before shooting them again, but they still continued to come back, though suddenly there was considerable distance between them and the log.

Naturally, I've tried this numerous times, and have even tried reinstalling the game, but to no avail. ><

Thoughts?

 

[Volrath]

There's no glitch there, from what I can tell. You may want to try point Finley's guns elsewhere. Some creative thinking is required to foil those lodites. See if anything in the immediate area stands out as a possible target.

 

[Botsugo-Mitsukai]

*sigh*

Got it. Once again, I just overlooked the obvious. Just the same though, should the log really be rolling back past the rocks?

 

[ArtBane]

No obviously that is not supposed to happen.

 

[DarkValkyr]

Haha...unless the rapids went fast enough. But yeah, not supposed to happen. And the theory...seems quite faulty at certain points, about Sparrow, I meant.
I'd write a theory too, but not now.

 

[Korin]

Well, time to reveal one more element of these new plot developments...

Spoiler: Do you dare look?

By the way, there are a couple of legit plot clues in this screenshot....the formations are NOT arbitrary.~_~

So uh, spoilers in there. . . Just wanted to comment on the latest Sparrow stuff.

Spoiler

OMG, look how close he is to Rayne!

I just found the secret room in port Arianna.

That is the worst secret room I've ever been in. Seriously, guys, that's NOT funny. DX

I woulda put in some weapons for Stoic in there. Makes sense, since in the church you have a secret weapon for Shroud.

I've played through all three arcs and I have found this to be one of the best amateur games I've played. It has great dungeons, puzzles, plot, characters, and battles. The mapping isn't exactly cream of the crop, but it's certainly improved over the course of the three arcs. I loved how the story has developed since Arc One and has gotten a bit more complicated. Keep up the great work, guys. I can't wait until Arc IV.

Regarding Sparrow, I agree with Merk's theory. That character has been minor so far and tends to be on the mysterious side.

 

[kizor]

Is there an FAQ/walkthrough for these games?

 

[The_Falcon]

I made one for Arc I, and I'll probably continue my Arc II whenever I can get my other computer back up.

[Shiro]

How did you figure out the HP of the monsters for your guides? Or did ya just ask for the numbers?

 

[kizor]

I needed that guide, I got stuck in the first building ( the part with the ropes and floor falling) for like 35 minutes. I knew what I had to do but it was so dark I couldn't see a thing.

 

[angelicgemini]

It looks really good, can't wait for Arc II one, the number 1 walkthrough rocked.

This game is seriously one of my favorites, btw I forgot to post more zany quotes of Arc 2.

Merk's theory.

Spoiler: I disagree.

Your arguement involving wind-magic-speed pretty much makes your theory invalid. Sparrow is currently believed to be a mage who copies skills rather than learning them as Torin was, meaning that he gains none of the properties of any element he uses (making his speed pretty damn impressive since he can keep up with Cade without the belefits of wind magic). In addition, Violet gets exhausted when chasing the kidnappers in arc 2 (I suppose that the possibility of her acting can't exactly be ruled out) whereas Sparrow can go though a huge chase scene, get knocked off his horse and slide a few metres and then get up and fight without much sign of tiredness.

Then there's the fact that Violet has a job. While the same can be said for Cade and Bones antil Arc 3 they were only fighting within Port Arianna and the area around it so it was convenient and in Arc 3 when they started travelling they didn't have a job to do. Combining Sparrow with a steady job would be a lot more difficult as I imagine he would show up wherever Kovak does. (He's certainly been in Rellenia and he showed up in Pearlton, though I suppose Violet's whereabouts couldn't be confirmed either of those times) So it's not just 'a few hours out of one's day' and it would definately interfere with her job if she was Sparrow.

And wasn't she at the dance? If so could she not have easily suited up as Cade and Bones did and beaten on the Toutens a little when they broke in?

This is probably poorly written as I am kind of just typing things as they come to mind.

Also since I cannot engage in a Sparrow debate without being just a LITTLE silly:

Spoiler: THE TRUTH!

[Korin]

Anywho, Arc IV is do sometime in July, right? Can't wait.

 

[Ratty524]

Wumpi, you are on my list of "Those who rule".

 

[Shiro]

I completely agree with Wumpi!

 

[HarryE]

Sparrow's real identity is blindingly, and depressingly, obvious.

One thing though. If he ambushed Cade and Bone's wagon, wouldn't that mean he knows their real identities?

Sparrow's real identity is blindingly, and depressingly, obvious.

If you think it's that obvious, that means I'm doing my job. Dance, puppet, dance. ^_^

One thing though. If he ambushed Cade and Bone's wagon, wouldn't that mean he knows their real identities?

Spoiler: Not necessarily...

Kovak found out about the stolen manuscript through The Hand's ties to the Sacred River Monastery. Vec delivered the news shortly before our heroes left the area. Sparrow could have been instructed to investigate all carriages leaving Pearlton at the time, and given the fact that the road between the Monastery and town was still off-limits due to reconstruction of the guard house, there was really only one road being actively used in the area at the time.

Then again, maybe he does know who they are...who can say? Except me and ArtBane of course. See what you think of the whole mystery after Arc IV....and especially after Arc V, when the answer will be revealed.
