I know this was asked some time ago, but our netnews server recently flaked itself to a standstill. What is the sequence/arrangement/sequence-animation required with the stone and two red gems at the end of level 2?!? I listened to the last words of the dying Goblin king, but it didn't help much. (I've tried being systematic, but it looks like there are 36! (36*35*34...*2*1) combinations possible, and I _really_ don't feel like trying them all. What he said about "..right...left...center..." and the "stone...ground..." don't make much sense. Actually, I'd even be interested if anyone has a walk-through for the game, just in case I get horribly stuck at some later point, but for now I just want a hint on this part... Thanks a MILLION! :-)

The stone is used to aquire the 3rd.

Spoiler: The left-most circle: put one gem in the right hole. next circle: the left hole. right-most circle: the center hole. Like this: * O O * * * * * O * * * The stone, etc. clue is that if you drop the stone where there are slimes, they'll turn it into a gem. That's important, 'cause you need all three gems. Interesting note: I couldn't figure out the goblin's clue, but noticed that the gems in the right hole made a different sounding click than in the wrong hole. That was enough to solve it quickly. Elsewhere in the Immortal, too, you must remember that most directions are with respect to you, the player, not the little animated guy on the screen. Sometimes even w.r.t the joystick! >Actually, I'd even be interested if anyone has a walk-through for the game, >just in case I get horribly stuck at some later point, but for now I just want >a hint on this part... That would be nice... But don't look at me, I'm not anywhere near done. :-) -- Paul Close pdc@sgi.com ...!{ames, decwrl, uunet}!sgi!pdc Oh, no! You walked into the slavering fangs of a lurking grue.
