No, south of the Lava Pit that is south of the area where three Gruntz go in and exchange their Toolz for GooberStrawz, suck up Goo, and then get their original Toolz back, with another Grunt making four. One of the four gives himself up via a Suicide Bomb to allow the other three to proceed south ... to just above that Laval Pit I am talking about. Does that describe the area adequately?

I am beginning work on a walkthrough for this Custom Level tonight. I plan to have every Coin's location pretty well identified (ala "The Rock VI" or "Central Park"), as well as the location of where Toolz/Toyz/PowerUpz are acquired. But first, I have to re-play the CL in order to refresh my memory, and work out in my mind how to write the walkthrough, itself. (That may take a while. ) Edit: I just discovered a walkthrough on this Custom Level done by 'oldone' that I (apparently) forgot to upload and link in to the original post in this thread. Oh well. I have most of the componentz for an HTML version, and the NotePad (type) document by oldone will serve as the basis for the HTML component. (But I still have to locate and document all of the Coinz, etc., so I will just follow oldone's walkthrough and mark everything in as I come to it.) |

Using oldone's walkthrough, I achieved a "PERFECT!" score, so it is definitely trustworthy! But for some thingz the old adage certainly holdz true: "a picture is worth a thousand wordz". So I am going back through the CL far enough to grab screenshotz and edit in the path(s) described, and link the imagez into the walkthrough.
One thing about this CL mystifiez me: IMNSHO, the vast lava field at the bottom, with three Gruntz going across Bridgez (with very tight timing ... and back-and-forth Grunt selectionz) should have had (several!) Coinz as a reward for completing that part of the puzzle. The only reward the solver getz is a pair of Wingz! If there were four WARP letterz in this CL, this part of the puzzle certainly would deserve one of them ... maybe two! (One, just for getting all three Gruntz across the rapidly moving (and disappearing!) Toggling Bridge!)

The walkthrough file is now complete (although untested), but the Toolz part is still incomplete. Apart from that, the HTML version should now be useable. I know that there are a few instancez where it might be nice to have an image available to support the text. I will leave it up to the Gruntzer community to request such thingz.

In the HTML walkthrough, the last three Toolz listed are Shovel, Toob and Warpstone. This is incorrect, and the Shovel should be Wingz (doubled!) and the Toob is acquired by the Gooberstraw Grunt when he crossez the last bridge in the large lava pool. Tomorrow I will go into that part of the walkthrough and correct it, and re-upload that component. (Too tired to do it tonight.  ) There were altogether too many extremely tight timing sub-puzzlez in this CL, and it took me four triez to finally get a " PERFECT!" score captured on screen. That is, four triez, starting from the beginning, because I missed Coinz the first three triez!   (And (naturally) did not have a SAVE at the proper place to shorten the re-try.  ) For anyone electing to (re-)play this Custom Level, remember that F5 (SAVE) is your best friend. Especially on that #^$@*%& lava pool with the rapidly cascading Toggle Bridge Stonez, where you have to get three Gruntz onto Purple Switchez. I'll bet I made at least 50 attemptz before I got those Gruntz where they needed to be! (Maybe closer to 100 triez!) |

I'm stuck in the part where the gruntz split into four puzzlez, I cant' get the gauntletz to take the last coin in his section as the bridge underneath flashes up for only a fraction of second and no matter which way I try he gets burned, is the coin supposed to be taken or is it a trap.
Please help!!!!

The old sponge gun trick, I never thought of that, I will give it a try.
Let you know if I did it.

I discovered that this walk-through suffered from the "Neron Hosting" syndrome ... [image] where the tile  (and other) imagez should have been ... and no supporting text. So I have updated the HTML walk-through (and am still working on the actual walk-through ... the other componentz are complete), adding in the supporting text, and correcting the broken linkz. I keep finding these "side projectz" as I am going through the project of creating HTML versionz of the various indicez. I try to avoid jumping the track, but this one was so blatant that I felt I had(!) to do something about it. (We still get an occasional new Gruntzer who has never seen Custom Levelz ... and I want thingz to be truly helpful, and not another source of frustration.) |

Thiz puzzle held the (informal) record for most questionz asked on the Gruntz Forum ... until Gamer released "Bombz Away!". Put on your thinking cap! |

if you're talking about the treez above the spikez - I tried ... it's blocked... after rechecking this area...I found them... they are all the time before me and I did not take notice to them ... at the end of the rolling coconutz... told you I'm myopic
