Darn. I'm afraid I'm at the point of asking for help. There will be spoilers ahead, ye who have not almost beaten the game.

I have teh last boss down to what I think is its final form. It only has one head and I've destroyed all its legs. Now I see that if I shoot it while standing inside the triangle then I can hurt it, but I've shot it quite a lot, and it still hasn't died. Are you supposed to do something when its shield disappears? I've tried slicing and bombing its head, but that doesn't appear to do anything.

Does anyone have any tips?

P.S. During the final boss fight the game's frame rate is usually about two or three on my computer, yet I still play it. Take that a compliment, Srehpog.

If you've tried slicing its head, I'm surprised nothing works - it should respond to the sword and take damage. Are you sure you're close enough? It doesn't hurt you by contact while its shield is down, so you can walk right up close to it and hit it.

Does that help?

And, yes, sorry about the framerate there... the fact that you can still play it at 3FPS is indeed a compliment.

Thanks a lot! I'll try it!

This game is so cool! such a good job man....rly:O:O:O:O:O:O:O:O...the only thing i think could be different is to not use the transition u use to go from room to room...cuz some times the rooms dont match up and it look funny...not that that effects the game at all, it just makes it look pretty LAWL! 10 out of 10 imo!!!

I have just replayed this game (for the 3rd time) and i am still finding things that i didn't notice before. The controls are nice/playable, and the story is great.
I am currently going through and playin it again. (I love a good RPG)
Of course the game doesn't have quite the same *shock* as it did on the first time, but it is still one of, if not THE best games on GM.

To me this game IS the BEST GAME EVER made with GM.

Overall Rating: 10/10!

I havent checked if this has already been in a cage match, but it deserves it.

... What do you mean "there was another way?"

Make a second one... Ark 23!! Aha!

9/10... Hooked on it for a week and finally beat it. WTF is up with all the coffee?!? Is it humanly possible to drink THAT much coffee?!?... I need some coffee...

Edit: Ok... I checked, it won a cage match. Which is good 'cause it deserved it.

Not only did it get into the Cagematch, it made it to the Hall of Fame.

Hello, all.

I've been playing Ark22 way too long (It's 5 in the morning for me). Good game (and I'm not normally an RPG-type person). However, something for the last 3 hours or so is driving me batty. After poking around the thread, I can't find the answer, although the question was already asked: Who wants the broken glass?

I think I've talked to everyone, although I must have missed someone, somewhere... I thought sure it would be the guy who wants something to stabilize his desk, but I guess not.

The only person I remember that I haven't asked is the guy in the Coffee Memorabilia 'house', but he seems to have vanished.

A number of people mentioned a walkthrough. Has anyone done one (more than the first chapter)? I'd love to figure out where the last 2 crystals are.

[Bonecollector]

Never really commented on Ark22 I think, though it really was an amazing experience for me. Isn't that the best goal you can accomplish as a game developer? Give people an epic experience that they will forever remember?

Um yeah that sounds kind of dramatic, I'm serious though.

Anyways, fantastic game, really inspiring

Item lists published. See below...

There was another way things could have gone, at the end...

Wow. Indeed it is - thanks. It means a lot to hear that.

Who wants the broken glass?

Someone in the bar on the far-East coast of the lake.

ITEM LOCATION spoilers ahoy:

Biomatter:

In the order they appear on the pedestals in the Library (1-4 across the top row, 5-8 below):

• 01: Cliff outctop room in Dungeon 1.
• 02: High cliff on East side of Mountain pass - coming from second village.
• 03: Third village (Daska & Co.).
• 04: Northern edge - one room north of NSV.
• 05: Hidden in Right passage in Dungeon 2.
• 06: In Cardinal crossing, West of the bridge North of NSV. Not East... sorry
• 07: Frozen cave, the entrance to Dungeon 1.
• 08: Beneath the mountain, a few rooms North of NSV.

Collecting all the biomatter allows you to open an unlimited bank account with the HGA in the NSV library, but there is a more global incentive to complete this, and other, trading sequences.

Crystals:

• NSV Shooting Gallery prize (200 pts.).
• Dungeon 1, after reversing the gauges in a North room...
• East lake island.
• Mountain lodge ball minigame (Hard difficulty, 400pts.).
• North-West village Quick-draw minigame (Hard difficulty victory).
• Dungeon 1, tunnel.
• Dungeon 3, 'desert' room.
• Dungeon 3 dark maze.
• Cardinal crossing, in a chest.
• Mountain ravine top (West from Mountain Lodge).

.

The crystals allow you to get the TA-845 (that's your rifle) internal amplifier, which overcharges the energy buffer six times before firing.

Trading sequence:

A thousand cries of "I knew it!" ring out; the answers unfold.

• Get statue in NSV Health Hall for free.
• Trade for marbles in NSV Residence.
• Trade for batteries in Mountain Lodge.
• Trade for SOCE: Volume II in plains Bagatelle room.
• Trade for cocktail in Village 2 bar.
• Trade for smashed glass in Mountain lodge.
• Trade for a rock in lake far-East coast bar.
• Trade for a key in North outskirts mining initiative (bomb shop).
• Trade for a glass box in Southeast lake island.
• Trade for security card in plains bar.
• Trade for SOCE: Vol. III in Northwest bar.
• Trade for defused mine in Northwest bar.
• Trade for week-old Coffee in Northwest SAT station.
• Trade for Samosadisk faceplate in plains SAT station.
• Trade for SOCE: Vol. IV in far-East coast robo-duel arena.
• Trade for torch in plains bar.
• Trade for lunch on lakeside West coast (mini watchtower).
• Trade for some snow in plains control room.
• Trade for SOCE: Vol. I in the same room.
• Trade for a nibbled biscuit in lakeside (two rooms East of NW village).
• Trade for Happy Gaming Association Membership Card in Mountain pass.

The HGA card enables you to play most minigames for free, and constitutes the end of the trading sequence. Looking back, I'm impressed anyone went to all that trouble without any hints. Thanks, people.

If you're still wondering why things don't seem to end up the way you want after finishing all the trading sequences, consider activating all SAT stations, maybe acquiring the Flask, and possibly opening a bank account too...

Challenge:

Secondly, I will reveal every single answer to the Samosaphone dialogue (i.e. cheats menu) as soon as someone finds one independently which I haven't already posted, i.e. not "I want my flask empty." and not "I want some Coffee.".

Happy hunting.

im stuck...could someone help me....i just got the mines an now there is an "!" on the map next to the guys who give u that jar....i got the jar but the "!" is still there...

[CmdrLuke]

I found two glitches:
1. In the dungeon where you get the SAT bracelet, when you are fighting the creature and the blue barrier comes up, if you fall into a hole you will spawn inside the barrier. This causes you to die.

2. If you have the HGA card and you play the slot machine, it lets you play free the first time, but if you say yes when it askes you if you want to play again, you are charged.

Also I have a question: How do you get the crystal at the Cardinal Crossing area?

[cyberdudequestor]

Cool, this topic is still hot.

This is the Zelda of Gamemaker, so I'm not surprised it's this popular for so long. You know how Zelda has been awesome with every single game.

This follows Zelda gameplay too....

I still love it!
Especially because of the fact that no one has barely EVER made a true action adventure game for gamemaker!

[NaughtyCat]

I have a question for the creator...



How do you make him shoot???

I NEED to know.
