The Dink Network

On the very first island, I can see a 'raised area' that has a barrel and a stat potion, but I have walked around that thing for hours, and can't find a way to get them. What is the secret or obvious clue I am missing? I hate to move on without getting them!

Also, a blue potion is stuck in a tree - can't punch it down, buttstomp it down, or blow it up.

And an area of stones in the middle of pine trees, also un-blow-up-able.

Any/all clues, hints welcome. Happy new year~

Thanks!!

This area is indeed inaccessible, and, later in the game, you'll be able to knock the tree and get it.

Thanks! That was driving me crazy I finally got the potion out of the tree anyway.

Another question - I have 'unlocked' two secret games - gladiator and ed the sct but where do they show up? I thought I saw on the walkthru that they should show on the load screen, under 'secrets' but I don't have that option. Do I have to finish the main game first, or can I access these from somewhere else, like inventory or something?

thanks again, and happy new year again

All of them will show up after you finish the main game, except for one.

Okay! thanks for answering!

I do have one more question (of course). Apparently, I should be collecting some special weapons in order to create an "ultimate weapon." According to the walkthru they should drop randomly from the monsters in the caves on Tware, but although I got two megapotions so far from multiple passes through the area, I still haven't found any weapons. Is there a special area or specific monster that drops them, or any other place to hunt for the weapons (Gimac's and Snedfree).

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

I found a Snedfee's Axe in Odvi, dropped by a void slayer. I found the rest with the aid of another secret. *HINT* Play Ed The SCV.

I would if I could - I know i got the game off an island but I can't see how to access it. I thought you had to finish the game first before you can access the minigames?

Just play the game!
