Re: Elysian Fields

Thanks Alex for providing the solution to a game I'd been stuck on - and Terri for letting me know the seemingly impossible had been done. :thumb:

Re: Elysian Fields

Any word back from the author of Elysian Fields on the necklace?

I am currently recharging my laptop and once that is done, will install an Apple emu and this game, along with the others from GUE, in the hopes that I can play some while on vacation/holiday beginning next Thursday....

I just discovered that there are already hints and a map for this game at GUE. http://gue.vintagegaming.org/galleries/packages/lost_ark_hints.pdf The game could probably still benefit from a walkthrough though. I, for example, followed the hints to the dead end in the tunnels (after picking up the c...

I'll join in. Just made it to the tunnels - so far have found all but the pressurized can.

Off to map the maze...

I'm stumped and stuck. Resorted to pulling the following nouns out of the program. Looks like we have seen everything except the elusive necklace and the Black Hole in Time which I assume is at the end of the game: Shade Magic Pair Of Winged Sandals Stone Tablet Peaceful Dove Beautiful Maiden Dusty ...

You can "look up" and "look down" just about everywhere. When I "look(ed) up" in the palace (northern most location on mt olympus) I found a message. Haven't had a chance to test this out but I'm guessing that same message might be found in other indoor locations. You are probably right about the ga...

Any luck finding the necklace? I'm thinking that the information from the tablet means we need the shield (have it), the thunderbolt (have it) and information from the rabbit which I am assuming can be gotten by giving him the carrot that presumably the maiden will hand over for the necklace. Have y...

I restarted, tried to make not only a map, but also a walkthough, and am now at the point where I have collected everything I remember finding before - except the ram since I am in no hurry to move past the gravel pit just yet. I have also avoided using the sandals and the dove and have instead focu...

I am completely with you here: I'm finding it ever and ever more increasingly difficult to imagine an adolescent wrote this. Not sure what happened to my last post, I thought I had responded to the Olympus / memento mori / vineyard / etc questions... my bad. Must confess - spent my limited free time...

Venture further into the cave to find what you need to dispatch the Cyclops. I decided to start over because I sacrificed the ram and gave up the coin days ago.... I made a weak attempt to go back there again by using the knife to stab the ram again and I got the "are you sure you want to do that'" ...

Once you get beyond the boulder you will find what you need to get rid of the Cyclops. "I" displays inventory - of course it scrolls by too fast to read so I usually just hit ENTER again after it is done scrolling to go to text only mode so I can read what it says. No vessel for water yet - I'd been...

You were right all along about the object needed to move the boulder, the verb is just not what you might think of first.... well, actually, it is just what you might think of first for the object, just not it's use with the boulder. Found nothing to do at the top of the mountain but I visited there...

Sorry to hear you had to start over. Pure luck that I started playing using the 2 separate images. Ah, I had dropped the dull object once I sacrificed the ram - have retrieved it and dispatched the Giant. Zeus can be dealt with by using what you get after you deliver the girdle. I don't know that I ...

Fish can be found lying around east of the vineyard. Rats can simply be gotten. Thanks - got rid of the Hydra (didn't seem to need to visit the tar pits first). Haven't come across anything Excaliberish yet so Bull is still with me... Managed to get rid of the birds and Zeus but Giant and Warrior ar...
