| 279.1 | No help here - same experience | DEMOAX::MCCANN | Chuck McCann - GNED DNC/DNT | Thu Jun 15 1989 16:10 | 4 |
| No help - both my wife and I have had the same experience.
For now the game is collecting dust...

| 279.2 | We are stuck also. | TIS::LEPIRE | | Thu Jun 15 1989 19:08 | 8 |
| My wife and I have managed to find several items such as magic scroll,
sos raft, several keys, and 1/2 moons but have not managed to get out
of the first castle. We are stuck at the emerald and can not manage to
jump high enough to get it. The exit is not far away ( I have seen it)
but can not yet reach it. Hopefully the emerald is the last thing to
get before the exit.

| 279.3 | We too are stuck! | WHYNOW::NEWMAN | What, me worry? YOU BET! | Thu Aug 10 1989 00:53 | 13 |
| My son and I have rented the game and have the same problem. It seems
like a game that I might want to purchase IF we can just get further
along.
We have made it to the "blue" castle and can move a ways through it but
appear to get stuck.
We have made it to the "red" castle but cannot get past the second "pit
of nails" on the first level.
It appears as if there needs to be a way to jump higher.
Any suggestions?

| 279.4 | Is the game always the same? | BCSE::WEIER | | Thu Aug 16 1990 13:07 | 23 |
| Looks like this was a mistake ...... I just bought Mystery Quest last
night and was wondering a couple of simple things;
Is the game exactly the same each time you play it? It seems to me
that sometimes some of the 'magic things' are there, and other times
they aren't.
And .... is it obvious when you come to another castle? I haven't made
it real long in the 'first' screen, but I would've thought I'd have seen
SOMEthing by now.
For those of you who are stuck .... I wonder if - in the VERY beginning
of the game, if you go backwards, you can collect a 1-way arrow going
the other way - does this have something to do with it? There's also a
large green wall here, but I never could get over it.
Overall, it's a fun game. The little scorpions are driving me nuts,
and those flying blue things give me a heart attack, but I like it.
Obviously if you get stuck it's no fun!! If anyone's interested it's
on sale at Ames this week for $14.99 (which is why I bought it!),
regular price $54.99 !!!!

| 279.5 | Is this any help? | BCSE::WEIER | Patty, DTN 381-0877 | Thu Oct 11 1990 14:55 | 8 |
| Well, I loaned out Mystery Quest to a couple of boys of a guy I work
with ..... and they got quite far with it. Apparantly the trick is NOT
to go into the castle, but go by it and continue onwards. They think
the game is set with 4 castles, 2 in front and 2 behind, and you need
to clear the 2 front castles. Give that a try if you still have it -
mine's still on loan and I die MUCH too soon to make it there anyway.

| 279.6 | I have the same problem! | OTOFS::LALONDE | I am EMPOWERED!!!!!!! | Mon Nov 25 1991 12:01 | 25 |
| I bought this game second hand, also.
I've past the two castles. But a big wall blocks your way. I've tried
breaking walls to no avail.
In the first castle, I've tried using the SOS to jump, can't do.
I managed to just to the right upper wall using SOS, that leads
nowhere. I noticed when you use SOS, you jump quickly and if you
continue walking, you'll run.
Someone has got to know how to past the first castle.
I believe we need boots of jumping, that are probably hidden somewhere
before the castle. I thought I found them at this location:
There's an entrance to below ground before the first castle, where
you can get a moon. By traveling towards the castle, after you come
back up (since you can only go a short way underground), the first
vertical wall (three blocks high) you touch (make sure you touch it on
the left side) something flies out of it. Jump over the wall and walk
to the right and you'll find the item. DO they look like the boots. If
they are they don't make you jump any higher. Does anyone know what
this item is?

| 279.7 | Going a little further! | OTOFS::LALONDE | I am EMPOWERED!!!!!!! | Wed Nov 27 1991 11:36 | 50 |
| I got through! Well put it this way, its tougher ahead.
Spoiler below!
When you reach the location specified in the previous notes, do the
following.
Go directly to the far right, where the little scorpion with the three
pots of flowers are.
Don't kill the scorpion, you'll need him in the next step.
Go back to the water and wait for the little scorpion to show up next
to you.
Jump on top of the scorpion and right away jump on top of the above
wall.
Go right, climb the stairs.
This is where it gets tricky, but with practice you'll master it.
Walk to left and don't stop, at the same time shooting your magic
continuously. You'll notice that you're little man is running instead
of walking.
When you get to the edge of the floor (to your left) jump and try
landing on the bouncing floor. If you time it right you'll jump and
land safely on the right ledge and away you go!
