The Wonderland Board

I am stuck in the Catch a Thief level of the sewer. I cannot get past the thief throwing fireballs at me. I also cannot keep the scritter alive in the chasm adventure, so am frustrated. Please help if you can.
Thanks.

Hint:In the catch a Theif, try finding a diffent way around.

In "Thief" you have to be brave and wait for the creature to toss a fireball at you and quickly move out of the way. (Kind of like the spitting plants, only quicker.)
While he goes to the right you should go straight down and make your way around to where he is.
Good Luck.

Getting to where the 'thief' is ok, but how do you get around it? It just seems to go on firing at you!!! I've tried to avoid it by moving quickly back and forth, but no go.

smile...it's a whole new day!

When you have gone all the way down and right and are standing behind the brick wall and he is firing at you - then time it right just as he is throwing and make a diagonal run to the left and up and then go towards him and he will stop firing and run away!

Save your game once he has run away!

Hope that helps!

Thanks Lillie. It's a whole new day, and I feel bold. Will get onto it!

So that bit is done...how easy when someone tells you how!!!
Now am stuck on trapping the thing at the other ends. How do you get it to stand on a red or yellow button ..... please?????

Well you haven't been trying it very long have ya

This is from memory ........... Stand just before the middle (as soon as you hit the middle spot - hairy dude stars running). Quick as you can run/blink to the other side and blink in before he turns the button off! Something like that. He won't fire at you - he runs away the big girl

Actually tried it for quite a while, then a sudden burst of inspiration after a day teaching school. Finished it ok, and have gone back to Morklin, but still can't cross the bridge. Have 17 stars and 59 coins. Thought that would be enough.

I've made it over the bridge, so all is on the go for now. Thanks for the help with the thief etc. Your patience with dummies is commendable!!!!!!

kirkc

I am a dummy too Kirky!

thanks for all the helpful suggestions. I doubt I would have ever figured out that the big thing would run away. I kept getting hit by the fireballs. I got the shard, and now am trying to rescue the third wee stinker. Thanks, again.

the scritter stays about three steps ahead of you. So get it to one space in front of where the plant shoots, wait for a shot, advance two steps. Then wait for another shot, advance two steps and go back one (that way you do not get hit). Repeat this until the scritter is through.

When you get to the other area, make the scritter stands just before where the shot goes, wait for the shot, and immediately walk south all the way without stopping -- you have just enough time for you and the scritter to get through.
