Title: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Elke on 14.01.2009 at 01:49:40
This is my last easy mansion but it is not easy at all.

The other post indicates that it is possible to see the entire mansion.

-Is this true?
-Does it matter if I take the red door or the blue door, to visit the red or the blue house first with the multy colour key?
-If you go right: the maze with all the gray doors: At the end it seems impossible to go further. Does this mean you have to come from the other side somehow to open them?

All tips are welcome cause I'm not getting through after the second save.

You can visit all of the rooms, but it is not possible to open all of the doors.

I don't believe it matters which door you go through first. I always take the red door just so I'm putting off the grey door puzzle area.  :-/ The puzzle area is difficult, especially for beginner players. I know it took me awhile to figure it out and get through it.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your last question.

Well I first took the red door en blue area. After that the blue door and worked out the gray doors area. But now I'm stuck in 19096 with the 2 big zappers. Are you ment to cross that??? I can't do it. I want to go right in that room. No where else to go. For tonight I give up. Help would be appriciated.

No, you can't cross those zappers. To get to the other side you have to come from the other direction.

OK, After tonight I officially hate Falcon Mansion. I give up.

Don't give up. You say you've been through both sides? Just go back up, go to the other side and come back down.

Good luck!

It's just so frustrating. I first do the red part and use the red key to do the blue. I make it to the fare right (through the grey doors) (I don't have 2 yellow keys for the litttle room). I go down a bit at the right. Then I turn back to the room with the 2 big zappers. No crossing right? The room beneath: I do have 1 purple key but I cant make it to the right side of the room to go up again.

And room 19098: don't you have to come from the left (and with a visible bridge) to get the money? I can't figure out the route you are supposed to take and again I'm stuck with 1 purple key left.

How do you do the blue part with a red key?

You only need one (there's another yellow behind the left door]

By "go back" you mean that you go all the way back to the red part and go in there, from the left?

You're not supposed to do that, you're supposed to go down from above right to get the red key behind the purple door.

No, you're supposed to come down to 19098 from the room above (18898), and then left over the golden bridge to the room with the big zappers (19096), but from the right side this time, through the purple door and then get the red key to go down the pole in the rightmost room (18901)

Hope this helps some

I do appriaciate the help. But since the suspend game doesn't seem to work, I have to replay a big part to get to the point to look up the room numbers you mention. And the grey doors which I managed to pass 2 times before, this time wont do what I want them to do. So again I give up for today extremely frustrated. I pulled all the handles a million times in different order but I can't get the blue key.

Falcon Manor Easy was the first mansion I ever played [and after playing the free 20% I bought the license immediately and played all night :)] and those grey doors frustrated me too until I realized that there were someone who'd been thinking before making those rooms... Spending some time carefully noting what each lever does, the pay is seeing how one *must* pull to be able to get to the key. "I have to keep the silver blocks visible when pulling the lever with the purple marking to be able to get to the next room and the lever with the blue so that I can get back and change to gold and then go back in the level below to pull so that I can go down one level and pull and then go back up to get the key" [that was an example... but not an instruction :)]

The reward is double. Both the mental satisfaction of having solved a puzzle, and the excitement of being able to continue exploring the mansion.

The key is to not give up, but be watching carefully what is happening around you

I'd rather have an instruction ;) ;) ;)

I don't know: the second time I solved it in some minutes but last sunday it would NOT work. I give it a try again in a couple of days.

Any ideas about the suspend thing? It seems like sometimes you can resume the next day when you choose open game, and the next day it doesn't work. In falcon manor it takes forever to replay this part (especially with stubborn gray doors ... :)  )

The room with the two zappers, Room 19096 you reach only half via the red route and the other half via the blue route. And that's the only way to get to both sides in the room below (19296) with the two purple doors.

Room 19098 I always come in from above and can get the money. Just have to make sure you've got the gold/silver how you need them.

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Elke on 24.01.2009 at 20:24:35
Please, I still can't pass those gray doors, no mather how many times I go back and forth to change the silver/gold and through the upper or lower level. Ik cant get trough the door on the middel level to get the key. I won't try again without knowing what to do.

Elke I wish I could help you but I don't understand which grey doors you are talking about. In what room are they??

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Catwoman on 25.01.2009 at 06:56:41
For Room 18900, you need to go on the bottom floor and pull that lever first. Then you have to keep switching the gold/silver while doing the rest. I'll send you a PM with some more details.

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by rose on 25.01.2009 at 14:44:59
Oh, room 18900! Well it might not be any consolation but I have always problem with this room. It takes forever before I get it right!  :( :-/

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Elke on 25.01.2009 at 18:50:56
Thanks Catwoman!!!  :D Good news and bad.

With your help I passed the doors (I don't think I can repeat what I did ...)  and got quit a lot further. Eventually I went back and took the big poll on the complete right past the grey doors down. I did a lot of rooms all the way to the left (with new saves  :D) and ended in room 19290.  However I don't have ANY keys to open te different doors along the way so they remain closed.

Should I go down the poll in 19495?? It's my only option but then I leave the closed doors (with keys behind them) without opening them.

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Catwoman on 25.01.2009 at 20:01:07
Yeah, you made it past the puzzle.  :D

Falcon Manor is one of the few (maybe only) mansion where you can't open all doors and get all the money. The lower section you're in is where that occurs.

Title: Re: Falcon Mansion Easy, help please
Post by Elke on 27.01.2009 at 00:44:46
Mmmmmm :-/ ..so they're there for decorative purposes??? I think i passed 3 or more closed doors, and I'm quit sure there are no keys left in the part I visited.

Well ... down the poll it is.

Alan Falcon here.  Yes, THE Falcon, of Falcon Manor (And Chateau de Medusa).  

Elke I'm sorry for all the frustration my puzzle has caused!

I believe it is possible to visit every room, but not possible to open every door.  The "extra" doors are different rewards and consolation prizes, depending on which keys you come down the pole with.  I'm not sure if that information helps, but there you go!  And I am sorry that this is the least-straightforward of all the included mansions in terms of "doing everything" in the mansion.
