The Rock V

[Gaby]

it's not just you... it's a hard level... well... it's Gamers' doing... what did you expect? ... but every section that you solve is a small-victory... if I did it you can too ... [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[]

[WalkingBear]

Don't feel bad oldone, I am still banging my head on this one only because I am stubborn enough to want the PERFECT!

I have restarted the level and am just about to cross the crumble bridges....right before the OP area....I can HARDLY wait!

I'll be on the lookout this time for the secrets and will post their exact location when I do!
I know there have been generalized locations given, but I need to know exactly where they are!

Can't stress the importance of a walkthrough enough, it should be mandatory for designers to include one, don't you think?

[Gaby]

it's nice to have a walkthrough as a backup...some timez it's the joy of finding the solution by yourself [with a hint or two (or three)]...

[Bea]

I have always felt that the job isn't finished if the walkthrough is not completed

[Gaby]

what a pity that most of the designerz do not think alike... ... but we're lucky that some of them do...

[oldone]

I agree with Bea, a walkthrough is part of making the game. I'm looking forward to your reply on the secrets, WalkingBear. Tell me how to do it and I'll try the level again. I do like to get a perfect without cheating. For now I'm on to Rock VII. We'll see how I do with that one.

[Gaby]

it's realy not so difficult to find those secretz... the timing is some how tight... but I'm sure you'll get it... just spring(z) towardz the moundz and holez that are under the purple switchez and continue to the area that's below the area from where you released the RR...

[WalkingBear]

I have walked all over the area....but I am not sure where you are talking about....

The purple pyramidz where the timebomb is?
The purple multi grunt switchez where I entered this area?

The area where the RR is released--where? at the lower right hand corner?

Is this the area where the two secretz are?
1. The two dice in the rolling 8 ball area?
2. The large double dice in the final area?

[IdleAl]

The secrets are in the northwest section of the level. It will take the springs to get to the dice on the right side of this area and gauntlets to break them.

[Gaby]

ooops... ... sorry ... I was not accurate about the purple switchez place... I assumed you knew... I meant the purple switchez that are near the pool... [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[]

[WalkingBear]

UHOH!!!! If you mean the area with the rolling 8 ballz....in the top left hand corner...(NW)...I have to get springz into that area?
I guess that meanz I should NOT have given the gauntletz to a barehanded grunt, huh?

I see a replay happening........again........

[Gaby]

that's correct... for all the questionz... good luck this time... [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[]

[WalkingBear]

Waltzed right through the first part...like I'd done it a time or two or three or four...! But now I am stumped....

Without the gauntletz, how do I break the dice to get the springz? If I don't get the springz, I can't jump over to the BOTS to lower the pyramidz in front of the fort....

Without the gauntletz, or the timebombz, I can't break the dice by the bomber grunt to get the coin hidden there in the last dice...

So, Gaby or someone!, Please let me know what to do first. I am sure I have to use the beach ball to lure the lower bomber grunt to break those dice...?

[Gaby]

I asked the same question and here is the answer I got:

Gamer said:

Put the toy down on the stairs and have him run into it. Then have him run and break open the giant dice.

... [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[]

[WalkingBear]

Now, I'm even more confused...you have to have something to break the dice in front of the bomber first...and there is no way to get to the timebomb unless springz getz to the BOTS in front of the fort AND shovelz getz to fill in the holez at the bottom First...

So what do you have to say now, Gamer?

[IdleAl]

Try using the OTHER bomber.. you know... the one to the east!!!!

[Gamer]

The bomber you are trying to use will be removed by other means; use the grunt that can arrive at the staircase in one hop instead.

[WalkingBear]

This is getting confusinger and confusinger every minute...

Ok. SO I am supposed to use the right hand bomber....to break the dice in front of the left hand bomber, who breakz the large double dice to reveal the springz?

And, I assume that it will be a piece of cake to do this?

Using the beach ball, I place it and lure the right hand bomber to it, and then on an angle, get him to run to the dice?

And then, pray tell....how I manage to get the left hand bomber to run to the large dice without running into my grunt first?

And, assuming that I can eventually get the springz, I will be able to get the shovelz--how did you say?

[IdleAl]

No.. you use the right bomber to uncover the springs by placing a toy (somewhere) in his path so that he can be redirected!!!!!!

[Gamer]

It is not so hard as you make it sound!

1: Put the toy down on the stairs
2: Have the grunt run to the left by attracting his attention, then moving away
3: He will run into the toy and play with it.
4: When he is done, attract his attention again, this time having him go diagonally up-right
5: He will blow up the giant dice.

6: Take the springz and go back to the top-left part of the level
7: Use the gauntletz to do the secrets
8: The left bomber will warp out of the way, not to be messed with again
9: Use the gauntletz to complete the level
