GateWorld

The video solution is finally available, we'll see how many did it
the way I did.

Yes this level is so hard, I can't even load it in the editor. Did you use some magic tricks or such?

HEX!
No idea how to kill the red dudes with enough equipment left over...

So that is what you call HEX editing Muz? About killing the red dude I had the same idea (or no idea actually

)

All done, got the gold, who wants a hint!

You know this had a bit of a sokoban feel to it. I had to sacrifice our hero a few times to see what gate did what, then it was just a matter of placing things in the correct position.

Very clever level, thanks for the challenge!

If I may ask you tomorrow?

Thanks for your PM Bob.

What I meant with tomorrow is, it was late yesterday and I wanted to give it another try today and when I still got stuck, ask for a hint. But what you tell me I already knew, or at least, I thought. As Muzozavr said: there is not enough equipment. This is what I did:

Stand on yellow to let the lower cannon shoot one of the two boxes near darkblue button. then push a reflector in front of that cannon to make sure it doesn't shoot the other box. Put a box on yellow, push box on dark blue and get out of there. the last box on the bottom right white button to take the bonus coins on the other buttons.
At that moment I have only one reflector which I can move. I push the lower cannon up and put the reflector in line of the upper cannon and the lower of the three prisms. When the cannon has shot I quickly put the reflector on the yellow button to catch the returning beam. That moment the red dude has gone but I've nothing left to move, so I can't get the coin.

So if you, or anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong please?

Edit: Suddenly I got some other idea, and now I got it!

Thanks anyway!

Thanks Andy/Virtlands for the nice puzzle!

What for is that HEX stuff btw?

I wasn't sure what your time frame was so that's why I sent the hint in white. So you would have to highlight it to read it.

Good work on solving this!

The only thing I cannot figure out here is how to get rid of the red dudes. I can get over there though to the left side. Help please...

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 8:31 am

Monica, what I described in my other post was a mistake.

The cannonfire to kill the dude should go from the lower cannon > reflector > lower - middle - upper prism > other reflector on yellow (lower cannon should be pushed up) > prism below upper cannon > reflector top left > red dude.

At least, that's the way I did.

I hope that will help.

Nope can't do it, don't know what your talking about, to cryptic.......need walk thru, can't see it, don't see it. Pushed here and there, placed it here and there. Need more help. Fixing to give up.

Marinus · Post by **Marinus** » Sun Jun 22, 2008 9:35 pm

I don't think it's cryptic. I told about the places where the 2 reflectors should be.

One should be in line with the lower cannon and the lower of 3 prisms. The other in line with the upper cannon and the upper prism so that's on the yellow button. You have to make the way free for the cannonfire, so the upper and bottom bonuscoin have to be collected and the lower cannon should be pushed up after it shoots.

But if that's not enough, I will write you a walktrough if no one else does.

No I think I understand now, I'll try this again tomorrow, fixing to eat supper then there's a movie on I want to watch. Thank you marinus..

EDIT: Thought I'd give it another go, I see what your talking about now, I finally got the red dude and the coins and made it over there only the other red dudes keep shooting Stinky, how do I get past them........

To be continued.......

EDIT:
Continued..........Well a big DUH for me...........
Finally got it.....

Hi, thanks for striving and trying to solve this one, and
I see that some have solved my level already, ...

Congratulations to Bob Roest, UneekRose, and to Marinus for cracking
this level.

I finally got around to making a video solution (on YouTube account),

...I have a strange feeling though that others have found a different
way to solve the GateWorld level, ... it's just a suspicion.

Anyway, here's my solution :

Even with the walk thru this level was hard for me to finish, It was the little details that got me

Brilliant puzzles thru and thru.
Good to see you from time to time Andy!
