I have come to love SD games which makes my mind think. However, the T room is causing great frustration.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is still having problems in room T - you need to make the red arrow point in the directions that have been previously mentioned. Step 1 - click on the center of the gear (or keep clicking on the outside spokes) until the arrow points left (or west, or 9 o'clock position), then pull the lever. Step 2 - click on the center of the gear until the arrow points down (or south or 6 o'clock) then pull the lever - and so on. The 10 steps are L, D, R, L, D, R, U, L, U and R. (or W,S,E,W,S,E,N,W,N,E or 9,6,3,9,6,3,12,9,12,3).
ReplyDeleteIf interested, here's the whole sequence of wheel turns from T:

HOW TO TURN THE WHEEL
thank you Susan and Premier.. will try AGAIN! I don't think I was placing the red arrow in the L,R,U,D positions.. that was my problem!
ReplyDeletehow do i get the red key in k
ReplyDeletetricky tricky little wheel. I made a printscreen of the arrows, which obviously didn't work. And you can't see the doors well with all of them open, so I had to go back to the room to see.
ReplyDeletelol Fun anyway. Out with help for the wheel puzzle.
@Melissa Motowidlak: for the red key, you need to open the wooden crate with the hammer from the piano
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteuse hammer from G on crate.
OK, played until I got totally frustrated with the wheel. Read the comments, refreshed, and got the gem from the wheel in T. Figured I'd start over and go through the whole game, only to find the wheel is now not working! No matter how careful I am, whether or not I open all of the lockers, certain to press the lever once arrow is in place (L,D,R,L,D,R,U,L,U,R -I've got it memorized now) and it JUST WON'T WORK!!! Sooooo frustrating. And @Enjoy and all of you others who are beginning to feel dim-witted because you can't get it, take heart. I did it once so I know I did it right, and it STILL doesn't work!
ReplyDeleteSelfdefiant,Thanks for the game and the help for T. Great game as usual!

ReplyDeletethose having problem with the wheel in T; make sure the red arrow is pointed to the said directions i.e LDRLDRULUR and don't forget to pull the lever each time.
ReplyDeleteI may be able to add a further explanation for helping people through their problems with the puzzle in T.
ReplyDeleteI was very lucky and had no problem with it [except for the wheel turning sooooo slowly, of course; my system's fault, as usual] - as soon as I saw the doors open in funny directions, I knew Selfdefiant would be up to something, so I drew two diagrams for myself.
when I saw how the wheel operated, I did a third set of notes, which may help someone else.
The doors open in four different directions, which are the same directions the arrows on the dial in T point.
Open the top left door first to see the first arrow in the sequence. Note the direction the door opens in. You may close any door that gets in the way of your view of other doors.
This arrow points to the next door to open.
Continue in this way, following the arrows to open the next door until you have the ten directions as posted above.
When you discover the puzzle itself in area T you are required to enter these door directions, in the order shown by the red arrows, using the dial first, then the sliding lever.
My third way of helping, in case anyone's left still stuck and fighting it =)
You must "step" back out of the puzzle to reset it.
Don' rush the dial or the lever ;) wait for each one to stop before your next move.
Click the dial 3 times [L] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [D] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [R] Pull the lever
Click the dial twice [L] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [D] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [R] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [U] Pull the lever
Click the dial 3 times [L] Pull the lever
Click the dial once [U] Pull the lever
Click the dial once [R] Pull the lever
To zoz:
I replayed also, but completely refreshed the page instead of clicking "Play again". My dial went smoothly again.
Which did you do? I'm thinking maybe data saved from your previous game was getting hooked up somewhere?
Beautiful game again, Selfdefiant THANK YOU SO MUCH =D =D
Thanks for taking the time to help with that @Rookwings! I did hit "play again", but since I had just played a refreshed game where I got the dial to work I figured it would be OK. Then I just didn't feel like trying yet again. [btw, girl, how the heck are you??? Our time zones really get in the way of playing live ones together!]
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI discovered Selfdefiant games quite lately - so much fun!!!
But to say: The ending this time is not very satisfying - no sacred door or so ... missed some highlight for all that work (the weehls in T ...)
I'll keeping on!!

To zoz:
ReplyDeleteOh NOOOOO! I just missed you there, by SEVEN MINUTES!

ReplyDelete;)
is it just my computer that doesn't allow the cursor to change over hot spots anymore? at first it worked fine in both safari and firefox, then i couldn't use firefox because the cursor stopped changing and now it doesn't work on safari either. am i doing something wrong, is my computer doing something wrong or am i the only one who thinks playing games like these is almost not worth it if i have to click on everything to find out if it's a hot spot? (?!) (i love these games otherwise. they make my day! please help!)
