I played this a while ago and just started again - and now I have a question: what should I do after completing Dungeon 1? I'm saved at the New Samosa village.

get the lighthouse working (get pass the guards)

question:

how do you get the mines?
how do you kill in chapter 2 water the boss in in the caves after the mazes with the balls?

Help time...

Hahah, Wow, only now I found out about bio matter.  I have one last bio matter and one last kytri crystal to find.  Thing is I don't understand where Cardinal Crossing is...  I'm using the hints page you had...

It's (I think) one screen North and one screen West from NSV. Or it might be West from the big bridge... either way it's West of the main 'spine' of the map and South of the NW-Village. I'm not sure what's there any more. The room-info will tell you- no it won't because I disabled that - You can tell when you're there as it's a 4-way river crossing in a '+' shape. I think there's bats too.

Not sure where your last crystal would be though. Might be from a minigame, Maybe the desert room in Dungeon 3...

Oh, and I also noticed another chest west or something from the entrance into the pyramid.  I don't think I ever was able to get up there.  And is there a way to get into the little building in NSV that's at the very bottom on that island?

I don't recall a chest like that, but that's probably just me. The NSV building is accessed through the stairs in the chest-game house, I think. The one along the raised path from the Residence building. Probably.

Another quick question- I got an updated version from my last one (i think) and I wondered if saves were cross-version. Can I send my old save over?

EDIT: RAWR. How the heck do I get through the place after you put in the radio transmitter? I've made it to the pyramid that shoots bloody murder, through the dungeon (I think it's the pyramid boss).

It depends on the versions - at this stage, if your last version was recent enough, it's probably still cross-compatible. The last time an entry was added to the save file was months, if not over a year, ago.

If you're in the ice caves near the beginning of the game (which is generally after you set up the radio transmitter), that won't be 'the' Pyramid boss just yet - that's in Dungeon 4. If you're on Dungeon 4 itself and you are at the Pyramid boss, you want to wait until he charges a big attack in light/dark then switch the power before it finishes charging. You'll hear a pain noise and three little nodes will appear (three in dark, three in light). Slash one to kill it... do all 6 and you're done.

I played this a while ago and just started again - and now I have a question: what should I do after completing Dungeon 1? I'm saved at the New Samosa village.

Go to the small hut on the left of the room a few screens north of NSV (where the ladder to its door crosses the room boundary). In there you'll find a guy with maps. Search his floor a bit to find directions across the plains, go to, and use them to reach the second village.

how do you get the mines?
how do you kill in chapter 2 water the boss in in the caves after the mazes with the balls?

Mines are the dungeon item in Statue City, so you might not be there yet. You get them underground after opening the 'main' floor stairs downwards.

I'm not sure which boss you mean, as there are a few in Chapter 2 generally...

Axe statue boss - shoot him when the shield around his small statue is hidden.
Floating-eye boss - shoot the eye when it's back in phase (full alpha)
Four towers boss - lay mines in their tracks when the central eye isn't red.
Water-maze boss - shoot him to lower the shield, then just drive into him.

Hmm... that's a lot of bosses. I'll write a walkthrough one day, honest.

[Uries]

This is cardinal crossing.

[Potnop]

Are you sure that's cardinal crossing?


And I did find it in that desert area... I also found another one in that dark room right after...

Ah thanks Uries!!! That's where the last kitri crystal was for me. I started shooting those windmill things and they made the water drain to reveal that opening that is in your screenshot. For some reason I don't have those chests there though... Do they appear after solving the puzzle thing cuz I don't remember since I solved it long ago already and the blocks are back...


Oh wow don't I feel stupid... The last biomatter was in fact at the crossing of the 2 lakes. I don't know how I kept missing it!!!!



Yayyy I saw the good ending!!! I beat it 100 %. Part 2? Heh...

[hardcoregamer]

how do I save it?

[mrscience00]

Srehpog, you probably already know this or it's been said already but the unfortunately the game runs quite slowly on Windows Vista despite the old GM version.

Oh - does it run more slowly than on other Windows versions? If so, I'll have to find a way to fix it or port it to GM7 or something... eventually. I wasn't aware Vista specifically was a problem, I thought the whole thing was generally a little sluggish.... thanks for the warning.

Where you get the Tile Set from the game ?

[Uber-Angus]

I really like this game.
Its really good. I hope theres going to be a sequel.

I defeated the first boss, then I opened the gate and got past, but then I fell down a hole and restarted.
I think you need a bit more save spots.

I rate this 10000000000 BILLION/10

EDIT
I just noticed there was a save spot at the place you enter that crystal key thing that the boss drops.

[jonathanz]

you should sell this game but have it free on the Gmc forums

[Uber-Angus]

You do realise if he does that about 50'000 people or more could get it for free, while about another 10000000 billion would have to pay.

Thats not very fair.

Like I said: I hope theres a sequel! lol, I shouldn't get excited since this took over 3 years.

[TheMagicNumber]

There is only like 6-7 Billion people in the world...Good try...

I'm going to try this now...It looks very good...

[Uber-Angus]

Seriously?
Wow I gotta learn maths more!

[jarcon]

Awesome game. You should sell it. I didn't play that much, but I will keep playing later.

[Alienpunisher10]

U missed my post.

Where do you get those Tile Set ?

[swifter than chr...]

hello, I am stuck here in chapter 3 in the Intent Hive, this thing keeps flashing and i don't know how to get past here, what do I do? I'm pretty sure I went through every room and portal possible:



EDIT: I figured it out, now I wish I could find out who needs the music CD volume 4
