I give up (possible spoilers)

(I am from a none english speaking country so my english is maybe a little ... different )

Hi everybody. First of all, i hate download only games. I am one of those crazy game collectors who never sells a game.  But still i decided to get Aquaria. And i do like it very much. (You still need to make Cover for the fans to print out... maybe i will do it myself)

The reason why i am posting is this: I played aquaria for 8 hours now. I found the energy form, the nature form, This rock lifting ability some treasures for my home and this blue armor outfit. And now i have NO idea what to do next. I have been swimming around for 2,5 hours now. There is no space on the maps where i havent been (besides the spots where i cant go because i am missing some the forms). For example... i cant swim through those hot steams in Mithalas.... I just cant find any more forms.

I guess there is one more in Kelp forest besides the nature form. (i looked at the maps somebody from here did. Still cant figure out what to do.)

Seems like you haven't fully explored Mithalas. There's another form there which will allow you to continue.

[Aeon]

I think i have.... There is one place in Mithalas that i cant go to because of the heavy current.

If i am already able to swim against those currents .... nobody told me I tried it with a hot soup (speed + 1). Wasnt working.

When i am looking at those maps http://www.yandwproductions.com/games/aquaria_maps.pdf at page 16 and 17 then i just cant figure out how to get the form near drasks trident (which i havent got either). Because i cant swim through the steam nor cant i against the current (page 16. I am guessing that this green nature tunnel thing on page 16 is connected to page 17). So i think i need to find another form before i can get this one.

What about page 21. Is this one of the forms aswell? I dont have that. No idea what to do. I do realize that the symbols on the stones are the same like my sing icons.

I won't spoil the puzzle that you need to defeat to get the Fish Form, but if you travel around the area of that symbol, you'll see a thin passage. You are NOT stopped by the passage: just bounce off the walls until you get to a room with lots of colored fish in it (other topics say how to solve the puzzle) Good luck! 

[Aeon]

I found the area already. I just couldnt figure out the puzzle. I wasnt even sure it is a puzzle until i looked at the maps. And than i just didnt realize that the little fish around here are actually part of the puzzle and not just part of the leveldesign. I guess there is a reason why so many people have a problem with this.

Still a great game. Especially for a little team like this. Thanks for the help

You don't need the fish form to continue in Mithalas. You can do it right after the Energy Temple. I don't know how far you explored already, but IIRC there is a puzzle that lets you continue from the throne room.

[Aeon]

I just realized that. Got the fish form and explored everything agian..... Now i am as far as i was before. Except the fact that i have the fish form and can swim faster :O I am more the action game typ of guy, maybe i am just too stupid for those puzzles

Hi Aeon

Do explore all the little corners in the area around the throneroom, and if you follow every wall eventually you will find an item that is missing from the throneroom, but first really look at the throneroom until you spot what's missing then you will have an idea of what you are looking for 

Then hold on to your horses the next part is a heack of a ride but it's not the toughest part by far

[Aeon]

Ok i just did that. I cant figure out whats missing here. According to those maps its maybe one of those emblems inside the chair. But mine is already in their. (Maybe i found it weeks ago when i gave up the first time O_o) So i am not sure what happenend when i placed it in the chair. Other than that the only thing thats missing is the half of the right banner and maybe the picture of the king. Which is in the cave where this coin emblem probably was.

Still ... the door in the throne room remains closed.

Look guys... I really appreciate that you guys arent wanna spoil me anything. But i really did waste the last 4 hours doing ... nothing. So please... spoil me what i have to do to reach some new areas. Its driving me nuts. Everytime i think: "Now this should be it" the only thing i find is some treasure or a a new little cave which leads into another dead end.

I am so tired of where i am right now. I visited every area like 5 times. And i am not exaggerating.

[silverflagon]

That is strange because replacing the missing medalion in the last chair should allow you to pass through the door to the right, have you tried to swim through at all, and are there three medalions one in each throne?

[Aeon]

Yes there are. In every throne is one. Sure i have tried to swim through it. Its not working

Please dont tell me i have to start over

Proof

[silverflagon]

It looks like you have hit a bug there Aeon, have you tried going back to an earlier save? It would indeed be a pain to go back to the start, but if you made many saves going back until you find yourself in the area but before you placed them should solve the problem.

[silverflagon]

Oh and post this picture in the support board also because Alec likes to know about any bugs that occur.

What are chairs made for?  Sit in it.
