Title: Used keys in wrong order?
Post by VernJensen on 23.08.2011 at 08:07:42

So I got the yellow key hidden behind the treasure chest, got to the 1st save point, then re-played the whole first area with the gold/silver blocked toggled (so that all the new monsters and money bags were in there), but when I got back to the save point room, I did NOT use the yellow key to get the lantern. Instead I went to room 18500 and used it there. Then I realized this door goes nowhere. Weird.

Am I now stuck? I haven't tried to play further... so it's quite possible I"m not. Just wanted to ask since I don't have much time for playing right now, and wanted to report this just in case.

Very cool mansion! I'm not sure how I've never played this one before. I love it so far.

Room 19103 - Layer 6 issues with pillars. Easily fixed if pillars moved to layer 5.

19304 - Layer 6 issues if Jack jumps while in secret area.

So yeah, I guess I'm not stuck due to having used the yellow key on that dud door. However, I'm wishing I had gotten the lantern. :-/

19305 - Pulled lever at upper-right, not knowing it would stop the platforms, and also definitely not knowing I wouldn't be able to pull it again. I was stuck and had to jump into the lava to reset the room. A cheap death. (Anytime you pull a lever, and you end up having to die because of it, it's a cheap death.) Lever should be able to be pulled again.

Oh, just saw this thread. I'll have a look into the reported bugs when I have time.

Hi Toybox !

After not playing Dragon's trap in a few years, I re-played it now and it was so much fun !!! Totally enjoyed how the first section was so exciting and clever when the gold/silver blocks were changed. What a creative idea :D

I must say though, as a woman, having made some purchases at "The Shop", of course I went back there to see what else was for sale, only to find they had run out of inventory ~ ;D

Excellent mansion, and very well done, going to go back and try the hard version now !

Thanks so much,

SandyBean [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Thanks for the comment, SandyBean :)
The shop should have refilled! Maybe the suppliers got caught in a traffic jam ;)

This mansion is actually an adaptation of one of my two all-time favourite Sega Master System games¹ (Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap. You can even find speed runs on youtube!) And I should say, it's as faithful an adaptation as I could make!

¹ yes, I am that old :P
