Title: Stuck in Mithalas City
Post by: Capt_Mhead on January 07, 2009, 11:29:50 pm
So, I'm stuck in Mithalas City (I think).... I collected that round disc and brought it to the room with the stone portrait of the Mithilas King where it was automatically set into the statue.  However, nothing happened after that (I would have thought the door to the right would have opened).  Here's an image capture of the area I'm talking about:

Perhaps I'm missing something else... but I've been wandering around all over the place for the last hour and have accomplished nothing story-wise. 

Some help would be greatly appreciated. :)

Try a forum search next time - but for now, what do people do in thrones?  ;) Hope that helps - good luck on the rest of the game!  :)

BTW, a lot of people have missed it - I believe Alec was considering adding a hint there (possibly a statue sitting in one of the thrones).

Meh, I didn't need any hint for this spot either. But I could see how it could be missed. The glowing cursor on it gave it away for me.

Now there are statues sitting in the other two thrones. :)

Haha I had to ask Alec personally after a long time of frustration.
I think he added the hints in the new windows + Steam versions, not sure about Mac.

Perfect, thanks man! 

I didn't even notice those were thrones at first... even though I've been referring to that room as the throne room, haha.  Anyway, I think that puzzle would make much more sense if there was someone sitting in the other two thrones... or an engraving of somebody on the middle throne.  Or perhaps statues to place in the other two thrones.  I don't know... just some thoughts.

I'm really enjoying the game so far, though.  Fantastic music and beautiful seascapes.  I love a good 2D adventure game.  :)

Sorry to be a bother to u Lords and Ladies of Aquaria, but I have an issues of sorts. How do u kill the boss in Mithalas City? Ive tried shooting him, Ive tried reflecting his own fireballs against him, Im not sure what Im missing. A hint would be nice. Oh PS dont rip me to shreds like the last guy...  Thnx, in advance.

Just do a forum search - so many people forget to do so. If you can't be bothered to do that, *RIP*, then there are some subtle hints below.  :)

Remember the thin and bloated frogmen? The bloated ones were next to gas jets rather like the ones in the boss's chamber... maybe there's a connection?

Ew. That looks disgusting - probably would poison anyone who ate it.

What's this? He's sucking in water! I'm being tugged towards him! Looks like the whirlpool sucks in everything I throw at it ...

Good luck!  :) Remember, other tactics than spamming (shooting like mad) are necessary for the fiendish bosses of Aquaria.  ;)

You will soon get the hang of them especially this type of forum. There are others out there but I have always found this type far easier to navigate when looking for replies and subjects, welcome to bit Blot Mr Fingers :D

Of course - it's my pleasure.  :) This forum is the most user-friendly (and refined) of the ones I've seen. There's too much text and in the wrong places on lesser ones.

(Fun Fact: I just wasted 10 minutes trying to find this quote of yours. :P)

Caught you out Chibi lol

I have known at least 2 other forums this friendly, and one that is friendly but you would have a hard job believing that unless you really knew them lol

I said user-friendly, and while there may be better forums out there, I know not of them.  :D

Oh they are user friendly also, but like you said you don't know them, and I am not even going to offer to introduce you to The Vipers you are not old enough  :o
Besides they are very carefuol about allowing new members, votes have to be taken and if there are any objections then you don't get in  ::)

exactly and I would need to sing your praises as an artist to get you in, as well as your character, and then they would all say 'No!' because you are too young. Good grief we can't go subjecting you to some of the pictures that get posted there we would all end up being locked up for perverting a juvenile :o
