Hanako Games

My walkthrough is finished

#1 by FantasyFan - Aug 25 2011

Whew, I played the game over and over, but I finished my fanmade walkthrough. It can be downloaded here.

Notes: Should the game change (like Hanako has hinted that an extra dance option might be added sometime), I'll edit the walkthrough as well.

EDIT 1 - The file has been edited to correct a few mistakes - I've added the third way to solve the final exam.

i just tried to view it, and it said that you need to set the sharing controls to allow me to see it (my user on KeepAndShare is icekat725)

Augh, sorry about that - this is my first time using Keep and Share. I edited the post - see if the new link works.

#4 by emichan - Aug 26 2011

it says its not a valid page

i've never heard of keep and share anyway, is it safe?

you could put it on the wiki...

Okay, the new link should work. It will lead you to a page where you click "download" to download the file.

(Minor correction - Running as A New Hope takes away a point from your attempt to win the election. You can still do it, but it's a negative, not a positive. There's a reason for this, although it may not be immediately obvious...

Also, it is possible to win the final exam via the "No, find the exit" option as long as neither roommate is mad at you. It's just harder.)

Augh, I didn't notice that little minus sign in the official walkthrough. (has to edit the thing)

And how DO you win with "No, find the exit"? Every time I've tried it I've lost, even when I don't THINK my roommates are angry.

#8 by hanako - Aug 26 2011

It shouldn't short-circuit to a loss unless one of your roommates is mad and they go off their own ways - instead you get a sequence of challenges, and then it's just managing your and your roommates' mana, like on the other paths.

First you have to figure out how to walk in a straight line
Then you have to figure out which way to follow the wall where the boulders are
Then you step on a trap and get hurt
Then monsters attack

And if you're still alive at the end of all that, you reach the crystal.

Even if your roommates aren't hopping mad, if you had a negative relationship with them early in the game they won't trust you enough to follow you through this.

Since this is the hardest way through, maybe I should add a trophy for it.

Maybe you should. Man, soooo many secrets in this game. (Now has to play the game AGAIN to try that out.)

Just some minor things I happened to notice in your walkthrough:
In the section where you describe the fifth exam you forgot considering the option about using the spells "Televoke" and "Dispel Object".
And, as Hanako mentioned, if you choose "No, find the exit" in the final exam you can succeed if, of course, you watch your health and make sure nobody runs out of mana. (when running into trouble you can always scroll back and choose another option)

#11 by FantasyFan - Aug 28 2011

I actually didn't know you could use those spells in Dungeon 5. Actually, it would probably get too bulky if I tried listing ALL the dungeon solutions (since there are so many).

I'm currently in the process of correcting the "find the exit" mistake and the edited version of the walkthrough should be uploaded later today.

EDIT - The file has been edited to include the "find the exit" solution.

I just can't remain quiet Why there is 10 responses to this topic and even one of them doesn't tell "Good God great job!" That was first thing on my mind when I saw this. So let me say that, better later than never, you made a great work! Congratulations!

#13 by FantasyFan - Aug 29 2011

Thank you! It will be edited further, though - I think there are a couple of Cute/Weird points I missed. Keep checking the first post - I'll update that as I update the walkthrough.
