mm, i dun recall singing for any small kid..?

You sure must've song a song in the sunken city to a small ghost boy, haven't you?
The singing octopus is in the whale, and the whalesong is near Arnassi ruins.

arnassi ruins.. ok, i guess I'll hunt around there for the whale song then..
any more hints as to what I should look out for in the arnassi ruins that have the whale song..
and to the sunken city..
whats the place like, I am sure I explore most of the areas including the abyss by now..
but I did not go and memorise where is where..
-
The sunken city is on the abyss to the left of the entrance of the body.
It has the ruins of a human city. There are a bunch of ghosts around and many rusty pipes.

ahh.. but it is originally blocked by a gate with the symbol of an eagle right?
how do I get past that?
-
If you've been in the body without being in the sunken city you did something that is not supposed to happen. I'm not sure if it is prevented in the latest patch...
You need a compagnion to open the door for you. Someone you find in the veil.
The whale song is written on the background wall, not to oversee I think...

ok, i found out where veil is.
i pretty much explore everywhere in veil except in the open air.
is the ghost boy in those upper air areas?
-
No the ghost boy is behind the locked door.
Try the left part of the veil, the one without the sun temple. There is a diver in the right part of it. You can chase him to a cave. (funny how often I wrote this sentence in the last days... 3-4 times? I should think about a hotkey... ;))
-
Xiagan: I think he talks about the "Simon says" Octopus :D
-
ok, i am inside the whale and beside the singing octopus..
i can't figure out how to play his song..
I tried lighting up his lamp and playing the song according
to what the octopus is singing..
but nothing happens..
anyone can help me in this area?
-
To remind you that there are 4 lamps outside, not 3.
I didn find one and used a other instead not even seeing it was different seeing I was colorblind.

From the sounds of it, you've managed to cause a glitch in the game. If you're entered the body while the "tongue" was still present, you bypassed a few critical events in the game. The remainder of this post contains spoilers so fair warning.
Li is originally found in the Veil (he's the oddly dressed diver who you can follow into a cave)
You'll need him to access the sunken city as he has the key to the lock.
Once you beat the sunken city, the "tongue" retracts in the body.
As a means to correct your glitch, you have 2 options.
The first is, unfortunately, starting over.
The second is by contacting Alec and explaining the situation. I've seen others make the same mistake/glitch you did and he was able to edit their save file, putting you, once again, in the proper condition to finish the storyline.
-
no worries on that score..
i played over from a savepoint prior to the body glitch..
finally manage to get pass that singing octopus thing..
but now stuck at the ghost boy crying on the door in sunken city..
there is sing song symbols and singing them dun do a thing..
wha did I miss?
ps :- i already got the boy to run all the way to the door in the sunken city, BTW..
just not sure how to sink the song..

Follow this suggestion:
Make sure ALL of the map is revealed! When you enter an area, all map is gray at first. The more you explore, the more it gets revealed. Also don't forget to visit the small cracks (Fish Form). I know you need that for the Whale Song ;) (combined with Sun Form to light up the room)..
-
completed the game...
this is one kick ass game..
a heart felt WOW and amazement and congratulations to the makers of this game..
it is simply damn cool..
but one last question..
*possible spoilers below guys so if you dun want curiosity spoiled, dun read further below*
question..
I look at my treasure page and seems like I missed a lot of stuff left undiscovered.. I am pretty sure I explored all
the underwater areas (plus the small cracks my fishy form can get through) so I am pretty sure the ones I left out is the open air part in the Veil section.. seems to me on the map tat i missed out those parts with caves and stuff above water..
is there a way to explore those places above water?
-
There is only one treasure above the water and that's in a water bubble, being the urchin costume.
Further, you just have to search really well, some things are barely even seen on the minimap and others are just laying blunt on the floor blending in with the rest.
If you really can't find all treasures check the Aquaria Wiki or ask someone on the IRC, most know.
-
Yeah, the little Forest Walker Baby for example took me ages... It is in the Kelp Forest Map with the turtle (not the simon says one), try to find it if you haven't already. ;)
-
Ha! My last treasure was the banner in the Mithalas castle. I like, went there 5 times (in the upper and lower rooms), and all the 5 times I did NOT see it, but that must be cause I'm colourblind. It really sucks sometimes.
-
well.. i still dunno..
i see a lot of alternate caves in the open air areas like the ice cave and the veil..
is there a form i have to unlock to reach those areas?
-
Uhm, I think if you completed the game that you should have EVERY form.
There are 8, that's your normal shape included.
And as for searching the treasures. Just go explore to every gray area on your map, besides in the sky of The Veil.
-
the last 2 treasures for me were oddly enough real early ones, the energy form boss tooth and the urchin seed near the song cave. I guess that I had totally spaced on the tooth and did not do a thorough inspection whatsoever ( even though I went back there twice ) and just plum forgot about the big urchin. a few of the treasures were obviously well placed, like the starfish and the jelly egg, you go through those areas so quick that it's very easy to miss them. I didn't get the Mithalis banner either till pretty late. all in all the treasures were a great easter egg hunt in the game, and helped you pace the percentage of how far through you were.
-
The starfish took me forever to find. It was in plain sight, but I just never saw it down there. I rushed through that area b/c the real starfish were hard. As for the Jelly Egg, I got that one right off the bat, can't say why. The tooh gave me real trouble too. I didn't realize I'd missed it. Another one was the blue Mathalas banner. It blended in so well that I didn't think it was a treasure.
