EOT Oddities

Posted by theBob on 02/09/02 - 10:25:16

Hi Guys-

I've been wandering my way through End of Time and I ran into a problem. I went off to the spirit land and killed seth et al. When I returned I found that I was now strong enough to push the rock to the west of town out of the way. I do this and the screen locks, apparently requiring me to kill the Fire Bonca. Here's the problem, though: after killing the Fire Bonca the screen never unlocks--I can still walk around and do things, but I can't leave that mapsquare and there doesn't seem to be anything else to kill. Has anyone seen this before? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

theBob

You need to push the rock back. I don't know why, but you do.

Thanks--I figured it out late last night. It's not quite the most intuitive thing.

As an afterthought, it does fit with the story well--the town has been terrorized by those fire boncas and they rolled the rock there to keep them out. Hardly seems fair to leave them undefended while I go out to collect loot. I think that screen lock is Dink's conscience?

Yep, that was the idea.
