MGS 1 - The Old Lady's Shoe

[Gaby]

didn't you dig out toolz for the two other gruntz that were in the oven?...

[Theo]

P.S. Ah, now I get it. I can dig the holes twice.

[Gaby]

did you dig all the moundz and holez?... remember this designer have the magic sovelz...

[Theo]

Yes! I got perfect!
In time - 67:46

[Gaby]

bravo... ... good for you... ... I knew you could do it...

[Pinkgoo]

I beat this level...kind of. I missed 2 secrets, along with 15 coinz...I don't believe I found the warp letter, either. I can see an island with many rockz on it, but don't know how to get there.

[Gaby]

to the rockz island - the trigger to the RW is between BPz and rockz...
to the mound island - the trigger to the RW is a mound that coverz a timebomb...
there are 4 warp letterz...

Hi all. My gauntlez is in the section with the rocks and trees and black pyramids with the purple rockz gruntz. I break the rocks and lower the first and second set of BPs, killing the rock gruntz as I go but the next set of black pyramids will not go down???

[Gaby]

that's because some one else will controll this set of black pyramidz...

I made it all the way to the end & missed 2 secretz. There are 2 islands covered with trees on the right side, 1 looks like gaunletz needs to go there and the other island looks like it is for shovelz. Where are the secret wormholez to get to these 2 islandz?

[Gaby]

when/if I get stuck in a game I alwayz look for cluez in the realeted thread to see if someone else got the same problem and asked for help... ... sometimez the thread itself makes a walkthrough...

Gaby this one was excellent. Some serious thinking, lots of fun, a little head scratching, two backing ups, and very fair logical play without all the sneaky or quicky, quirky, tricks. Kudos to you, Lady. You must have worked hard on this one. There was more thinking than usual instead of so much digging/breaking this time. Just Loved it. In fact, I've at least thoroughly enjoyed nearly every single one of yours.

[mommabird]

Will you be making a walkthrough anytime soon?

[Gaby]

IMHO my levelz do not need any walkthroughz... they are not difficult to figure out... true, sometimez it takes some thinking but they alwayz have some symmetrical elementz in them to help the solver and linear activity ... if you get stuck, please ask for and you'll get it ASAP...

[mommabird]

Well I have my gruntlez, spyz, springz and bootz on their checkpoints. I have a spongez gruntz trapped between purple pyramids and open holes. And 2 baked gruntz in the oven with no place to go. Cant move gauntlez because of open holes. So you could say I'll REALLY stuck.

[Gaby]

send gauntletz, spy. brickz and bootz to the PSz to lower the PPz (see reply #10) and get spongegun free ...

[mommabird]

Thanks to your help I finally finished. Missed several coins though.

[Carmen]

A though level Gaby! I finished with the help of all the people that asked questions in this forum but I have 10 coins missing and I only managed to have 10 gruntz, not 12 at the end....
Can´t figure out where the other 2 should have come from ?

[Gaby]

you are correct ... there should be only 10 gruntz with toolz at the end - gauntletz (warpston), shovelz, spongegun, spy, bootz, brickz, gauntletz, springz, toobz and bombz... but if you send toobz through his RWz you resurrect 2 puddlez...

[Carmen]

Ahhhh! I remember, Toobz has a scroll. Must try it again. Thanks Gaby.
