Maybe explain exactly what you need help with -- that may get you more responses if someone is familiar with the exact portion you need help with.

On the record, I have never played that game. Just trying to offer suggestions that may get you more replies.

Well, I have to find the little big horn to give to someone named Bermuda Shorts...yes that only makes sense if you've played the game lol

May be too late to post, but I also recall playing this game when I was younger and recently started playing it again...

I'm not sure how to get the horn, but recall Bermuda Shorts suggesting it was in the Faerie Queen world--I have yet to find it, but still haven't found anything to go in that square in that world or what the raft is for.

I also need to find a relay to fix the elevator in the main tower in the ruins.

...need to figure out how to get through the ghoulbats (I recall being told in the game at one point, but don't recall how or know if I have the right item(s). Also, how to open the chest that is dug up near the monument (someone in the game mentions keys in the ruins that open chests :/)

There are numerous things in the voidbeast world I have yet to figure out: What to do in the dome building, what the square recess is for in the room with two oval doors, what goes in the slot at the north end of the voidbeast, how to get the bio-door open (I can get it to say the hair fits, but doesn't have the right grooves...not sure if it's supposed to be cut by something eventually).

I've done a lot, but still have a lot of loose ends I'm aware of. I could likely help with some things if someone reading this is looking for help.

EDIT: (possible spoiler): I've now found that you eat some leaves in the ruins/highlands area to get past the ghoulbats...that has already led to the relay I had been looking for.

Would be interesting to know if anyone else plays this game nowadays--it really is a top-notch game IMO.

i have just about the exact questions as you do...

i too just recently re busted out this game and am loving it! however i am totally stumped. I am going to try eating the leaves for the bats but other than that I think I can only sympathize and not help, but keep me updated and I will do the same.

Thanks

/\ Glad to see that someone else is playing this game

Getting past the ghoulbats practically opened up another world of things to do after getting the good relay to use on the elevator.

I've noticed that the Mytes that were on the voidbeast hairs have disappeared from my game, and I'm unsure why. It recently came to mind that I should have tried using the hair there to get them to crawl on it (perhaps biting the proper grooves in it to open the gate), but again, I didn't see them the last time I was there :/ Perhaps something controls whether they are there or not, or perhaps something got messed up (hope not). Even if they didn't do that, I figure they must have served some purpose that I hope doesn't keep me from completing the game... Perhaps I'll go back to an older save file to give it a shot if I can't get them to come back.

Otherwise, I noticed that when you sleep at the Hard Rock Inn, it shows two different patterns on the 6 windows while you sleep (different ones lit up). I marked them down and tried the possible combinations in that first building in the voidbeast realm (the one with the cubed recess in the panel and 6 buttons [7 with the input/reset button]). Nothing worked, but I don't know what goes in the hole to use the panel (I hoped something would happen anyway =P ). I suppose it's still possible they are linked...

Still have yet to find the Master Vet, but don't recall exactly what I was told about him :/ I wish this game had some sort of journal feature that automatically recorded important things like that...
