Expect The Unexpected

I've got the coin and sucked the goo but ... gooberstraw (with half health) can not defeat boxingglovez (with full health)... hit and run does not help...

Actually, just standing there and trading blowz workz ... while dodging thrown Rockz when necessary. Just put your back against a wall so you do not move when hit.

and where are all the iconz???

Apparently the code for additional emoticons is incompatible with the PBV4 base code. I will look for a corrected version that will work, so that we have the smilies back.

I writ this reply with heavy emotions... I keep thinking about FriedGruntzaholic and his loss... everything seems so trivial... life's so short and fragile... here I am with my stupid question... I defeated the boxing glovez and set free two gruntz but I'm stuck I cannot go anywhere because the black pyramidz are up... how do I get to a BOTS...

[GooRoo]

Think of the final solution to "Decoy Ahoy!" ... how you managed to bring a Grunt to the Warpstone area. The solution here is very similar. Oddly enough, the only thing that works is to give the Gauntletz to the Grunt with the worst state of health!

[Gaby]

OK... thanks... I got the picture...

[oldone]

OK, Gaby, I will wait until you get to the point I'm at. Then you can tell me what you did.

[Gaby]

oh ... but you are way ahead of where I am ... and you're doing thingz better then I do...

[oldone]

Not really, I'm just plodding my way through, and I've been stuck here for days. I'm just waiting for someone else to get to the same place so we can work it through together.

[Gaby]

my new grunt just got the 'W' and my beicklayer got the scroll of resurrection... I try to defeat the enemy gauntletz...

[Gaby]

I defeated both enemy gruntz and used the scroll of resurrection on them... but cannot get them to 'join me' ...

[oldone]

Gaby, you might want to go to Reply #12 on page 1 of this forum for a hint about this problem. Expect the unexpected indeed! (I love this game!)

[Gaby]

thanks but there is no hint for my problem...maybe I shouldn't defeat both enemy gruntz???

[oldone]

Ok, the two gruntz that you turn to goo are not necessarily the enemy (See Page 1, Reply #12, third paragraph -- " you SUICIDE the two gruntz"

[Gaby]

but oldone... you're mistaken about my position... thanks anyway... I solved my problem and maneged to convert the enemy... got rid of the boxing glovez crowd without damage... I found the ? secret switch and got the letter... now for the silver pyramidz... I think I need a friend here...

[oldone]

Sorry, Gaby, I was mistaken. I don't know if you are supposed to or not, but I used a friend at the silver pyramids (lots of practice too), and then had a little bit of fun swimming around. Then you will be very close to where I am. BTW did you get the coin in the section before the boxing gloves? If so, how?

[Gaby]

even with the friends' help the timing of the SP is tight and I do not know how to handle two gruntz at the same time... there must be a trick of some kind...
for the coin - just run to it by cutting cornerz (practice) ... (I miss the smilies... )

If you mean the Coin near the enemy Rock-throwing Grunt, the newly-baked Grunt is the one who will get that Coin. That implies a Secret within the rather limitted area where that Grunt may move around.

[oldone]

No I mean the next one right before we kill the two enemies. I don't know how to get it without being squished by the rock.

[Gaby]

step on the OTS and run to the coin by cutting cornerz ...

Oh and for the silver pyramid part, think a little! Its much easier then it looks.

I'm thinking... and can't figure it out... there must be a trick of some kind...help me please...

With all the conversation on this CL, I thought I would give it a try one more time.

I have a gauntletz grunt in the area of the red wormhole, a spongegunz stranded in the middle of the lake and a brick-laying grunt in the area near the warpstone. He is in the red as far as health goes. I have resurrected a yellow and blue bare-handed grunt using the resurrection spell, but I can only convert one of them since there is no way to get to the second one before the conversion powerup runs out.

To convert or not to convert? In either situation, that still only leaves me with one grunt that can move. There is no way I can grab the warpstone get to the R after stepping on the ? switch, or even picking up the toobz later on.

Someone want to be VERY nice and throw some clues my way?

I've "looked" at the silver pyramids area.. you may lose me on this CL there too, unless someone wants to give the solution.
