MM2 - Brave New World

[Freddy]

The night brought some extra light.

I am going to change the text again in some signs of the red and brown area. E.g. the one in room 16892:

Aside there is also tough puzzle work ...

will become

Aside there is a one chance only puzzle ...

The secrets number is correct now.

All that remains now is for my Jack to find the last yellow key.  I can't seem to find any hint in signs or elsewhere.

It is difficult to say something, without giving too much away.

That your Jack arrived in room 16096 without a yellow key didn't surprise me. I expected that, because I do expect that from nearly all Jacks. I want it this way, because the golden room with the largest amount of money ever (?) deserves a very good 'lock on the door'.

Follow the instructions in the 3rd alinea on the sign in room 16096 (golden gate). And if you didn't read the hidden hint in my previous post yet, you probably should. I assume it is vague enough.
Hmm... but I cannot reach the sign without a blue key which I do not have until after I finish the brown area where I supposedly have only one chance puzzle to find the yellow key? Or am I misunderstanding something?

This yellow key puzzle is beginning to look hard but not normal to me.

Hi brell !

There was a misunderstanding: the one chance only sign was programmed to be in the very first red room (16892). But that is probably not important.

Tonight and tomorrow morning I have time to have a look at the whole red-brown-treasures area. And do changes for the best.

One of my ideas is to integrate the brown area in the mansion. The entrance will become more obvious, maybe not secret at all. The walk through the brown rooms seems to be normal, not dangerous or close to unfair. The puzzle stays what it is: difficult, but with the promise of the huge treasure.

Do I need to convince you with more money?


The rooms between part 1 and 2 may got severe changes.

It also took several Sunday hours, but finally I had a result. Zip 009 of BNW is enclosed.

Maybe it is better that I don't tell anything in advance. Explore and have fun. And don't forget to read all the signs because a lot of them did change.

A must see (pic). It happened before and after many many weeks it happened again. The mimic crossed the gap!!! I hurried to make a screenshot of it.

A must hear. Once in a while Jack dies, but today it was with a gunshot (the sound of it). In the red  room with the 4 skeletons on the top floor make sure that the skeletons stay alive. Climb the vine to the room above and return slowly to the previous room. Wait till the 4 skeletons group together below Jack. Only then drop down. BANG !

Forgotten. Please restart testing at save point 10 in the last green room.

My mimic has done this as well.

I am still no closer to solving the brown area puzzle.
A question: Am I right in assuming that there is a certain

yellow herring

on the way through that area?

[Freddy]

There is nothing magic or crazy hidden involved. So yes, the first brown section is a case of deception. It is based on a design mistake in Falcon Manor (that had no influence in that game).

You are coming closer, since you had a feeling in the good direction. Maybe it came because of a visual hint in the upper red area that I temporary placed there for all beta testers?

[Freddy]

For the case you should need it: a 1st more specific hint for the 1st brown section (with a trap).

*** MAJOR SPOILER ALERT ***
There is a room where Jack has to climb a ladder from the bottom to the top floor. Right on top is a lever that toggles not one or all grey door(s) but exactly two.That is

I think. After pulling the lever, return to the bottom floor, first turn left to pull the lever with the green knot and then continue to the right.

When more should be needed, don't hesitate.

[brell]

Still got me stumped.  I did as you advised in the room you are talking about.  To be able to do that I had to get a green key, right?
Then I went right to the next room.  I still see no way to reach the left side of the top floor.

----------------------------------

Puzzle solved!  ;D 8-) :

The keys to the puzzle are IMO in room 15696

[brell]

Found a possible JS in room 15695, see pic.

Gold bricks are on. Jack came into the room from the right and closed the right grey door on the top floor. Then he went down and got killed by the skullspider.

The trap is two rooms earlier and the solution indeed in room 15696.
