I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. Just wait it out, or is there something I have to do? I can avoid the lightning, and the volcano explosions all day, but when does it end?

You have to attack the core with your magic... Defeating it takes a while, and the number of bolts and pace of explosions increase towards the end.

Do you mind telling me how you did it. I've tried about 20 times, trying different things?

You just gotta keep shooting the core and dodging the lightning and fire. You can diagonal too if that helps. I used fire to kill it.

It's all in the mind, you know 
Yeah I used fire too. You can start by going to the bottom of the screen and blasting the core until the fire burst gets close. Then go to the top corners and shoot diagonally at the core. Most of the lightning bolts won't hit you if you're as far up as possible. Make sure to swap sides when the fire burst gets close.

Thanx, that worked well; next question---I'm in the castle kicking butt, UNTIL I come to a room with giant red and blue beams comming at me. What's up with that? (I can't wait to see a walkthrough, although half the fun is getting creamed). I don't see anyway aroud them, yet.

Go through them. Red dress for red beams, blue dress for blue beams... Come on. Think a little for yourself.

THANX Scratcher, that worked fine. Next question---have you run into the 2 colored clouds yet? If so what'd you do? I started to go a different path because I couldn't beat them; but I have to go thru them anyway! I even tried my (bomb) majic, but by then I was too weak. HELP?!

Hmm... it's a matter of tactics. I think I beat it (on my first and only try) by killing fire with fire and then water with water. But other people may disagree.

Thanx for the help folks. On the cloud attack, what I did was to get into a corner, and fire water at both of them. I made it by the skin of my teeth; barely!

OK, so I'm at stage 5(shrine of water and fire), and can get out of the castle. When I head for home she says "I'm not thru with these people." Should I stay in the castle? I have the feeling I should be looking for a key because there's a bunch of chests that could stand to be opened? Man, if I had just a little more life, or could save when I wanted to, I think I could make it past the red/blue beams. asuming that's where I'm supposed to go?

There's no key - the chests can't be opened. You're on the right track with getting past the beams - if you use the alcoves right you'll be able to make it through with little to no loss of life.

I'm up against the holy mother. Is she the final BOSS for this game? I'm up to level 6, and I could use some advice as to how to beat her-- she throws everything but the kitchen sink at me! Is there a method I should use, or should I go back and try to level up some more? My only complaint with this game is that I can't save when I want to. I'm open to any suggestions/advice. Thanx.

Yes, she is. Btw I don't think levels do anything more for you than give you bombs. Best I can say is try to figure out her patterns. That will help you a lot. I leaned toward water magic on her, even when she switched. Even though that made it last longer, it helped me to think. If you keep switching, you have to keep in mind that you have to dodge different colored attacks. If you stick with one (as much as you can) you will less likely become confused.

The first stage is simple, she alternates red/blue... in your direction. Dodge the one that will hurt, and fire yours when shes doing the one you're immune to.

Actually, for her second stage, I used fire mostly. It is possible to get her to have a little distance inbetween the beams that you can slip through with will make it easier. I think it happens if you run further away (left or right). Other than that, be sure to save some magic if you think you are about to get cornered.

3rd stage is pretty much like her first except 3 at a time in your direction. You'll want some distance to slip inbetween.

For the 4th stage, pay attention to your x,y coordinates cause that determines where the fire/water spirits go. You want to actually use this to control where they go so you don't get surrounded by fire/water with no way out.

For the 5th, just pay attention to the element that will hurt you, she'll shoot them diagonals, diagonals, then up/down/left/right. So while she's still doing red, then blue, the elements are doing their own patterns.

For the 6th where she shoots both beams at the same time, stay toward the middle and run to whichever side you need to get away from the beam that will damage you.

7th she shoots a crapload (like 9) in your direction, keep away is all I can say.

For the 8th, obviously try and stay toward the bottom. I think they come down red/blue/red, then alternate to blue/red/blue, and back to red/blue/red.... and so on and so forth. I didn't catch a pattern

The last stage... I couldn't find a pattern at all here, just run like crazy and keep your distance. Keep in mind that she fires her attacks alternately, so when you see a red beam coming down, a blue one is coming down next

That's about all the help I can give, the rest is just about watching what she's doing and dodging. Try to keep somewhat of a distance and keep trying and you might eventually get her

For the fourth stage, you should definitely be water, since it's easy to see how to slip between the fires, but harder to see how to slip between the little rain thingies. For 2 and 6, you should stay near the bottom of the screen. As RW said, on stage 2, you have to run left and right a lot and on stage 6 you should stay near the middle. It's not easy, it took me 5 tries or so before I finally beat it.

EDIT: Remember this trick: if you ever need mana, just press enter (which pauses the game) and wait for your bar to refill.

Ooh, that's nasty going to have to do something about that at some point.

Also note that you can shoot her immediately as you come on screen if you want to skip the conversation.

Bad news for me----I'm gonna have to consider the game done for me; I think my computer's too slow to handle the holy mother (she runs me down constantly). The only hope I have is if I can install the ultimate cheat, and I haven't had any luck getting it to work on ANY dmods; that's about all I can do

Nonsense. If you really need to cheat, modify key-80.c in the main Dink game. Add &life = &lifemax before kill_this_task(); So whenever you press "P" your life is restored.

I don't understand your message(how to do it)? I tried to install the ultimate cheat, but it didn't work. The thing that irks me the most, is that I can't get past level 2 with holy mom. I'm following everyones advice (rain,being in the right? spot, etc.) but when she sends down the red beams on me, she overlaps them so I don't have much of a chance. IF you could explain HOW and which folder I have to modefy, I'd sure appreciate it. I'm not really up on that stuff. Thanx in advance; wait for a reply, and give it a shot!

Okay... go to the main Dink game. There should be four folders (graphics, sound, story, and tiles.) Open the story folder. Then find key-80 and open it with notepad or something. It should say:

void main ( void )
{
//testing the any key function
playsound(30, 21050, 4000, 0, 0);
kill_this_task();
}

Add the line I mentioned so it looks like this:

void main ( void )
{
//testing the any key function
playsound(30, 21050, 4000, 0, 0);
&life = &lifemax;
kill_this_task();
}

There aren't many dmods I've had to use ultimate cheat. This was one.

Thanx RW9, I'll try it in the morning. Question: those ARE parenthesis and zero's? The reason I ask is because some look like this: {} and some of the zero's are oval in shape.

"For 2 and 6, you should stay near the bottom of the screen." -MiloBones

Actually, you should stay at the very top for stage 2 and stay in a corner while shooting at the Holy Mother until she has almost reached you. Then dodge, go to the other "top" corner, and so on.

For example, you'd start in the upper right corner with the Holy Mother walking toward you. Shoot her. When she's getting very close and she has just fired a beam, go to the upper left corner (try not to run into her in the process), and repeat the process.

I tried this but it didn't work. I used key-80.d, this was the only key80 in the story folder of the main dink smallwood game.?
