Hi I need help in the very beginning of this level it says to use the powder kegs to blow up the box but how in the world do I get them? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I can see you are having fun in the volcano.

SPOILER FOLLOWS - highlight text below

If you get into the center of the conveyer circuit (you will need to time yourself stepping on and then back off carefully) you will notice that the powder kegs periodically stop at the top of the circuit. One stops top right and the other top left. I find it easier to wait directly below where the one stops at top left. When it stops there move up one space onto the conveyer, pushing the keg off. Then get back off the conveyer and wait under the top right stopping point. Wait for the keg to stop immediately above you and then count three more moves of the conveyer (or is it 4) and then walk across the conveyer (it will be stopped temporarily) so you end up immediately to the right of the powder keg you already moved off. Wait for the cannon shot and move up and left behind the keg to move it. The other keg can be moved in the same fashion.

Hope this helps

Thank you for answering me, but I finally figured out how to move them on a different level and applied it to this one but i am having trouble with the ufo's now i can kill the one at the top but the bottom one is giving me trouble now. I would guess it is all typical wonderland style lol. Anyways thanks again to anyone who can help.

Hi - you HAVE to kill both UFO's. Make sure you place the reflectors in the correct place so that they shoot each other at the same time. You have to use both characters and pretty quick fingers

Hope that helps. Personally, I thought this was a FAB level and was most delighted when I completed it

Shoot each other at the same time??!!

Wow, I am impressed!

Another approach is to use the bottom one to eliminate the top one. Then if you move the reflectors in the right spots, you can get the bottom one to self destruct.

No wonder I had such a hard time with this one - but I did do it my way - after about 50 attempts

Yep, I did it Lillie's way. I thought that's what you had to do.

In fact, I probably did all yours in a much harder way than necessary. I've done them all except Secret Cave. I can't get through those cannons for love nor money, even following your instructions. I need a fire extinguisher.

I thought the Secret Cave was "well 'ard"! It can be done Poops - if I remember right you can extinguish the fire a bit? I am certainly not going to try it again

I know you're supposed to be able to use the last metal box to shield you, but I can't get the box into that room. It goes scooting off somewhere in the previous one, so I'm always on my own.

I've made it into the middle, but never out the other side.

You can also run straight right through it, if you run the instant you step on the button. Then there's no fire to avoid, but you have to be quick.

I have done that Mette. On the last trip into the smoke room I leg it straight through, but the topmost cannon fire always gets me. I can't go any faster than just keeping my finger on the up arrow. If I did it enough times I probably would get through eventually, but can't face starting all over again.

I think it depends a little on luck. If the cannon has just fired when you press the button, that leaves you a little bit more time.
I can't tell you how to get the last metal box in there, since I've either done it the running way or I have pushed the box randomly untill I finally got it there.

I will have to go and try that right now. I would guess that I am not putting the reflectors in the exact right spot because when I set them there they are just missing the ufo. lol Will let everyone know when i finish this level can do the rest of the level with my eyes closed done it so many times lol away I go to do more wonderland fun

trstitch · Post by **trstitch** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 5:24 pm

I finally did it!!!!! I was putting the reflectors in the wrong spot. I still don't know how you kill the bottom one by itself but i killed both of them together. hooray for me finally lol

This thread seems to have split into two -- toxic mirage and secrect cave.

Congratulations trstitch!!

As to Secret Cave:

SPOILER FOLLOWS - hightlight text

As mentioned, you can get through the last bit by running, although I find it hit or miss. To use the final metal block: You can get the final block in the smoke room by pushing it right and down and a bit of ice will pop it up so you can push it through the teleporter. Once through the teleporter move up one, then back down. Then move left one and this will put you in position to move the block up into the fire room. Moving the block up into that room step by step will calm things down for you.

Thanks Steve, I'll try that with the box. I never could see where it ended up before.

Renande · Post by **Renande** » Thu May 26, 2005 3:27 am

I did it! I did it! Took over two days but I did it! Nearly bald but Toxiic Mirage is done. The last two reflectors were darn hard to place. and it took me forever to figure out where to stand to get the shots in right place. Nice level.

Please don't confuse me, cause I am going to need help in Secret Caves and will not know where to look.
