In DInk Smallwood original, I can beat Seth, I can beat Seth without doing magic, and I can beat Seth using only a light sword, but however I do it, it freezes up! THe last thing I get is 'I've got to go and tell King Daniel!" and then it shows me a level up screen. I choose, and then, while the fire still moves, and Dink still breathes, none of the keys do anything. I've even tried waiting until everything settles down before choosing my level up thing, but same thing. Any Advice?

Wierd. The only thing I can think of is mabey the data is corrupted from dowloading or installing. Try replacing the script "27-boss.d" with "s7-boss.c" from the develop source files that are zipped in the directory. ( unzip them in thier own file). Or try re-downloading and installing Dink. But at least you finished the game. From there you can just talk to King Daniel and thats it.

I've had this same problem and if you're not careful it'll happen in every game. Keep your eye on your level up score. When you kill something and your level changes stop what you are doing and let the pop up window appear and make your choice and then continue. At the start of a game its not so bad but at higher levels this does seem to be a problem. Also if you are using Ultimate Cheat to kill pill bugs and such make sure NOT to use the Cheat when the level up changes. This will definately freeze the game no matter what level you are on. Hope this helps.
You may just walk around killing monsters till level-up, then go kill Seth. This bug freezes Dink not only with Seth, but with island dragons too.

Also make sure you have the latest version of the Dink engine. :)

Yes, its because you're given experience then it freezes the script. Therefore, after it freezes, it levels you up, then can't return. There's no way around this other than leveling up before hand...i don't even know why they had seth give you exp...he's the end boss for god's sake, and i don't know how they were foolish enough to freeze the script after giving exp..but they were.
This is a bug with the script exiting before it releases dink from the engine, this should have been fixed with the Dink Smallwood 1.07 patch.
