Help! I'm Stuck!

[twilightinspiration]

As you guys probably know, I'm not smart. I don't know how to work the silly spirits to open Li's cage. >.> Cell... THING. xD Any help is welcome. :3

[Chibi]

There were four symbols just before the Golem (hefty stone giant with hammers for hands) - you need to sing those notes to free Li. I actually did it by fooling around with patterns I had already heard / sung before in the game, but that's obviously not the ideal method. 

[Alphasoldier]

Heh, the first time I actually freed Li, I sang the song slightly by mistake, I can't even remember why or how I did it. Later on, in my second play through, I figured out the that Dual form song is the first four notes of the Anima song. The song you keep hearing everywhere in Aquaria, also sung by the mother and sung by you when opening the door to the golem boss.

Edit: I later of course also figured that the 4 spirits I had freed were the colours of that song.
This was I believe after the 4th play through seeing I'm colour-blind. XD

[twilightinspiration]

x__x I'm such an idiot. I still can't figure it out. x__x


xD Nevermind. >.>

Edit: I'm towards the bottom of the Body... and I don't know how to kill this thing that's there. I have a picture of it right... here. So... anybody know a way to kill this thing? xD

[Alphasoldier]

You know that when you roll, you switch to a second form in dual form, right?

Either way, kill 3 things in Li's form, then charge and attack the barrier thingy in Naija's form.

[silverflagon]

The best way is to go and explore Aquaria a bit more before you attempt that creature, and practice using dual form if you are having problems with it. But one hint, hold in the power

Hey Guys,

I've explored just about everything possible, and having wracked my brain jumping through bubbles, grabbing secret pets, armor, etc. I find the only place to head now from here in the giant purple tongue in the abyss, and the golden door.

Having browsed the forums I understand I need to get li to open the door, but I cant, for the life of me, find this jerk. Been through the whole veil, gotten sun temple cleared out, jumped out of the stupid bubble, killed the octopus and so on. If anyone could point me in the direction of where to find this guy I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking for some vague "check out the veil" comments, need some actual directions because I've been all over the place.

[silverflagon]

You need to swim around in the area to the left of the temple and hunt every nook and cranny

[Grahf]

Hmmm, I must be missing something blatant or somehow bugged out his spawn. I've extensively checked the area immediately to the left of the temple and the far left area of the veil. Currently parked in the octopus cave poking around in there, these 20 minute sweeps of the zone are getting pretty old -_-


Alright, well I guess theres no one else with more detailed info. I going to drop this game until I can find out where he is, swimming around looking at the same rocks, tent, sunken submarine, and assorted fish is not my idea of a fun game.

[Alphasoldier]

Psh... sorry to say, but there are a lot of hotheaded posts today, phew.

Either way, here's a picture that might help you find Li.

The circle with the arrows is where he spawns when you start the map, the pointer to the right is into his cave, where he will eventually flee when you get close enough there ONCE you find him, he might have already gone there.

Of course, seeing you haven't found him, he could slip away to the question marks and end up somewhere else, have you tried using the middle mouse button while swimming to look around? Maybe he's ahead of your every step.

I hope you find him.

And to get there from the sun temple, start from the right side of the temple and go down, then head left until that map Alpha posted loads (fade to black, load map, fade in), and then swim up.

Jesus Christ - you seem to have some personal grudge against Aquaria. Have you never played a puzzle game before? Most puzzles are surprisingly easy if you pay close attention to anything out of place, draw connections between those observations and problems, and - like Silverflagon said - hunt [the heck out of] every nook and cranny.  Also, have you noticed how beautiful "the same rocks, tent, sunken submarine, and assorted fish" are?

I hope you find him.

So do I, lest he write another post like his previous ones ...

[Align]

You get a cutscene once you're close enough; until then I believe he just swims back and forth in that particular spot in the Veil.

[Alphasoldier]

Actually, that cutscene triggers when you do a certain thing, until then you can still swim away I believe.

[silverflagon]

Perhaps he or she didn't read the spoiler Chibi and just thought that my more obvious text was all?
