Westward III: Gold Rush


Westward III: Gold Rush

JohnBCasual sim/strategy fans (and anyone who enjoyed Virtual Villagers or My Tribe) take note: Westward III: Gold Rush has arrived! Following last spring's release of Westward II: Heroes of the Frontier, the third installment in the series continues the new 3D visual style and basic premise introduced in the second game. Take control of three new heroes as you collect resources, construct farms, saloons, granaries and more to keep your settlers happy and healthy.

westward3.jpgEach new game begins with choosing a hero. Heroes bring unique backstories and bonus abilities such as unlocking the ranch or allowing you to build tanneries right away. After selecting a character you'll go through a tutorial that teaches you the basics of gameplay one step at a time. It's a little slow, but newcomers to the genre/series will greatly appreciate the assistance.

Controls are mainly mouse-driven, though there are several keyboard shortcuts that make things easier. Assigning tasks, moving villagers, building structures, etc. is a point-and-click affair, and moving through menu screens is simple and straightforward. Just about every bit of info you need to know is one click away, and once you get familiar with the icons you won't have any trouble with the interface.

The meat of the game takes place across a number of scenarios, each divided into a series of connected quests. These challenges gradually build your skills and your town as you go, introducing tons of fun tasks like battling bandits or blowing up mountain passes with dynamite, and simple necessities such as constructing wells, farms and other buildings. These quests are usually steps that lead to a larger goal, offering an excellent sense of progression and accomplishment. Everything is rather streamlined but with just enough wiggle room to give you a sense of freedom.

In addition to completing quests, you also have to consider the well-being of villagers in your settlement. Everyone needs food, water, and a job.

westward32.jpgAnalysis: The Westward series had a humble beginning back in late 2006 when it rode in just as the Virtual Villagers craze was beginning to subside. Sandlot Games took a chance with a wild west-themed village sim that sent players on journeys straight out of a classic western. The gamble paid off, and Westward has exploded as one of the most recognized casual realtime sim games around. With its excellent production values and smooth blend of missions and town simulation gaming, just about anyone who picked up the game was quickly hooked by its simple charms.

Westward III sticks to its guns and closely resembles Westward II in every way, from visual style to using the hero set-up to push the story along. Unfortunately you'll find few differences beyond that, though the quests and scenarios are unique and challenging even if you're a long-time Westward fan. There are also a few minor difficulty issues where it seems to spike at certain points in a scenario, leaving you lost and clueless as to what to do next. And would it break the gameplay too much to be able to speed up time while waiting for resources?

Westward III does what its predecessors have done quite well - deliver an evenly-paced wild west adventure in the form of a casual simulation. It's got a great sense of humor evident at every turn, and the gameplay itself is about as captivating as it comes. It doesn't innovate far beyond its predecessors, but who says every game has to be a pioneer? Enjoyable, challenging and fun down to the last nugget.

Walkthrough Guide

Here is a list of Hints and Tips for Westward 3.

We compiled all of the best information from the comments posted by the awesome JIG community. Thanks to everyone for helping out and thanks to Kayleigh for putting it all together!

How to get the dynamite license

You have to go north to continue looking for Redd (click on the exclamation point over your hero's head). You will do a couple of quests and then it takes you back to this settlement and you will be able to get the license for the dynamite.

Who is stealing the money and how to get rid of the thief

The thief is the mayor of the town.
There are different ways to get rid of him:
You can fire him twice
or
Demolish the town hall and battle a few bad guys
or
Move him over to the gold pile near the north end and make him dig that patch until bandits showed up. After you defeat 2 sets of bandits, the thief will be banished from town by your hero. You have to continually drag him over there though as he wants to run back to the bank all the time to steal money

How to get the silver ring

You need to mine some silver and have a blacksmith. The rest does itself. It will tell you when you have mined enough silver for the ring.

How to get the ostriches

You need to collect all the Easter Eggs.

How to get the Easter Eggs Hunt

You need 2 chicken farms to get this quest.

How to get the black horse

You have to build stables. It seems to be random how many you have to build. Some people need 4 or 5, others need 10 or more before the black horse shows up.

How to get a red flower

You have to build flower boxes and water the flowers. After the first watering, they turn red.

How to get into the haunted town

To get into the haunted town, you build a lamp post by the cave located in the upper right. This will send you into the haunted town.

How to get more than 15 people into the town

To get more than 15/20 people, you will have to hire a sheriff.
To get more than 20 people, you will have to increase the happiness, by building luxury stuff.

How to get a prospector bonus for your mines in the first town

You will find a gold nugget near the guy that is standing in the water. You CAN take it - when you build the saloon, the guy in the water will say something about stealing and leave the town.

But when you do NOT take the nugget, he will stay in town (build a tent for him!) and you will receive a prospector bonus for your mines.

How to get the winery

You will have to complete the smuggler challenge. When he finally gets everything he wants, you will get the winery

How to get the grapes

To get the grapes, water your flower pots. They turn from yellow to red, then red to purple. When they're purple, a woman will come and tell you that is her favorite color and she gives you the grapes.

It’s random how many flower pots you have to build. For most people it works out with 5-8, but it can be less or more.

How to keep the wolves and other animals from destroying the wagon camp

  • Keep the fires lit.

  • Let your characters go all around the perimeter of the map collecting piles of wood and gold.

  • Let your hero chop up any logs there are. If you encounter an animal while doing this, you can usually outrun it.

  • After you do this, go up by the wagons (the quest won't actually start until you talk to them).

  • Let one of the citizens build a lumber camp and put them both to work there.

  • Then put your fighters in the middle area between the wagons and keep the fires going

How to find the hidden supplies

You need dynamite. Just put some dynamite in the river near hungry prospector is. There is a bit of fallen rock there. When you blow it up, it shows a ramp and then you can get to the area where the hidden supplies are, in the bottom right hand corner of the map area past the archway.

First town treasure

Build three farms growing carrots to get a bunny.

Drag the bunny to the entrance of the little tunnel. The bunny will get the treasure chest from the little tunnel.

  1. Dynamite the rocks to get them to fall on the switch in the enclosure behind the bandits. The switch will open the gate. Walk into the gate and walk up to the scarecrow. Get key #1.

  2. Blow up rocks in the river in front of pool with fish swimming around the crate. Then build a bridge to the pool. Catch all of the fish swimming around the crate. When they are all caught, open crate for key #2.

  3. Go back to the area on the left side of the river. Go to a white tree on a hill toward the bottom and near the far left side of this area. Blow up tree and a crate falls to ground. Open crate and get key #3.

  4. When you have all keys go to the chest and open it.

Second town treasure

You have to do these in order or nothing will work:

  1. Blow up the tree to hit the switch.

  2. Go to the chest.

  3. Go to the river tunnel and a box will appear.

  4. THEN build the well in the blue circle of stones.

  5. It will say something, then click on the well again with your hero.

Cave maze (pelts for dynamite) with screenshots

  • Go to the tunnel in the back of the main area that leads to the two tunnels on the left.

  • Come out one, go in the other, and it leaves you just on the other side, behind the main area.

  • Go back in the tunnel you just came out of, and it will put you facing the front of the scene in a very small area near the burned out bridge.

  • There is a hidden cave there on the character's left (your right). Blow that up, and you'll have the entrance opened on the extreme left. Get both characters through and you're done.

Cave 1
Cave 2
Cave 3
Cave 4

Rescue the 5 lumberjacks

  • First build a bridge to reach the island with two dynamite sticks.

  • Then build a bridge to the north and save the first lumberjack.

  • Head to west. Blow up the boulder and save the second lumberjack.

  • From there, build a bridge to the island with one dynamite stick, you have now two sticks left.

  • Go back to south. Build a bridge to save the female lumberjack.

  • Go in the river and blow up the boulder next to the goldmine and you can save the fourth lumberjack in the south.

  • Continue in the river. Another boulder, use your last stick and blow it up. You can now reach the fifth lumberjack.

Wanted Poster side quest

  • Build two, better three Sheriff offices to get 3 (6) more deputies.

  • Build at least 7 stables and put Sheriff and at least 6 deputies on horses.

  • Also always keep one deputy behind, out of harm's way, so the game doesn't end if you are close to beating them.

Earthquake Quest

  • Save very often, especially as soon as you build something. After an earthquake, you can restart at this point. Some people saved every minute. It will take a long time like this, but it’s a safe way.

  • Make sure that you have plenty of wells so that you can put the fires out fast. That is very important.

  • Start with the basics: farm, lumber and gold. Work your way up to having 2 farms, 2 wood, and 2 gold. When you have enough, build your lumber mill and do the fortification. This will help a lot.

  • Slowly build up and fix everything as soon as you can. Then when you have your 20 people and a good supply of wood and gold, build as many luxury items as you can to make the happiness. Do the luxury items last since they get destroyed really easily.

Having trouble with groups of bandits (and not enough money to hire gunslingers?)

When you go up to a group slowly, you can get one bandit to follow you a little way from the rest. Shoot this guy and then go get another and do the same. It saves money on gunslingers and really helps in the Wanted Poster missions.

Tips for the haunted town

  • The one tip on the haunted town that seems to help the most people through is the realization that you don't have to feed the people.

  • Build tents to get a nice stock of civilians up, but don't worry about feeding them, or even employing them beyond what you need to keep your wood and gold coming in.

  • You may worry about people getting mad and leaving, but if they do, they should be replaced with another citizen, so you should be in the clear.

  • Still, keep an eye on your population, and if you get down to two or three uninfected, build a few more tents to bring it back up.

Drill recovering quest

  • First door - 1 on 1 switch other guy on the other. This will open the door on the left.

  • Take one of your people and go stand on the switch in that room. That will open the door forward.

  • Bring both people through the door, up the hill and down to the right. Have one of them stand on the switch in front of you.

  • When the door opens, leave the person on the switch and walk the other through.

  • Now move the person off the switch and back onto it again. The door that was just walked through will close and the one next to it will open.

  • Have the first person walk through this door and step on that switch. This will open the 3rd door in the previous area. Have them walk back into the area with three doors.

  • Now have the other person step off the switch they are on and back on it again to reopen the door for them to walk through. Take both people through the third door.

  • Now if you want, you can fish in the pond to get the key to open the door in the top right. This will get you the dynamite and you can go back to blast through the rocks and get all the stuff back a couple of areas.

  • Here is the part that most people seem to be having trouble with. Put each person on one switch, this will open the door in front of you.

  • Now move the person on the right through the door. When they move off of the switch, the door to THEIR right is opened. Go through that door.

  • Take the person still outside the first door and move them to the switch on the right. This will open the door in front of the person inside.

  • Take them through that door and step on the switch. Leave this person standing on the switch and take the one outside in through the door and to THEIR left. When they step on that switch, the main doors will open.

  • Now you have to take this person back out the first doors to stand on the switch on the right again so your other person can get out.
    Move them both into the final big area.

  • They should now each step on a switch to the right, this will open the door to where the drill bit is.

  • Bring one of your people in to get the drill bit and the final door will open to get you back to the beginning.

Tips for the 3 cemeteries

  • You need to build a church first.

  • Take the three people you have, employ one to the lumber camp, one to the farm, and bounce the other between the saloon and general store.

  • Take out the bandits as quickly in the game as you can. The pumpkin head horseman will not come as frequently then.

  • Then build a cabin and a gold mine in the water. Gather the gold to repair the cemetery.

  • As soon as someone is possessed, build a tent so a new person will move in, but DON'T go over 13 people because if you hit 15 you need a sheriff and you do not have time for that.

  • Don't feed anyone. As they get mad and leave, new people will come in but watch carefully. If you get down to 3 people, build a tent or your people might leave before you get a new one in there and that ends the quest.

  • Employ two people panning and two wood cutting. Anyone else still alive send to chop logs and hit the gold deposits.

  • Blow up all the buildings except for houses, the general store, and the tavern. (If you blow up your houses, the zombies just move in when you build tents and you don't get new people).

  • Build the church as soon as you have the resources, don't wait. Have someone other than your hero do all the building. He or she will be busy killing bandits.

  • Make sure you save 100 for dynamite to get to the third graveyard.

  • Rebuild the cemetery as soon as you clear off the bandits. It seemed like that slowed down the pumpkin headed dude.

  • Only buy one gunslinger and bring him in after the bandits have targeted your hero so you don't lose him.

  • Drunk people do not get possessed and when they get too hungry, they pass out and then become employable again.

Tips for the trading post quests

  • Build wells for water requirements.

  • Don't rush to build. Most of the time, collecting the scattered resources is enough

  • Fish/hunt for food, rather than spending resources to build a farm.

  • If you reach a goal sooner than the deadline, save and check what the next mission is. If the next one is gold for example, and say you're collecting wood, allocate everyone to gold in the remaining time.

  • For the latter trading post quests, build a panning mine and a wood cutter as soon as possible.

  • Build a farm only once, I think it was the #8, when it wanted 50 food and I had 10 people.

  • Don’t forget to talk to the people again to give them the food in the two trading post quests. Otherwise, you will be told that you failed.

  • You have to do 4 trading post quests in the first town and 4 in the second town.

  • Make sure that you have an employee at the trading post, otherwise the requests will not show up.

  • You have to go back and click the bubble at the trading post to get the next quest.

How to get boots

Get manned tannery and manned blacksmith and 1 cow ranch

How to get cheese

  • Do all the trading post challenges and get the cheese hat and the butter churn.

  • Create 3 cow ranches and build 3 butter churns.

  • Cheese for sale in store.

  • May not need 3 cow ranches, so try 1 then 2 then 3.

How to get wine

  • Complete successfully the smuggling challenge and you will get ability to grow winery.

  • Build several (1-5) flower beds and change them to purple flowers by dragging anyone to it (they will water flowers and change colors).

  • Once you have several purple flower beds, you get ability to buy grape seeds.

  • Build 1-3 (again not sure of number) grape farms and you will be able to build winery.

  • Once winery is manned, wine is for sale in store.

Hardest egg/Ostrich egg

  • 14 of the eggs are brightly colored and fairly easy to find.

  • The hardest one and the one that gives you ostriches is square white egg - I usually find it in the water under rocks or at the entrance (in water) where you got the treasure key.

  • One hard to find egg is found by blowing up tree/rock that is near railroad track/water area - across from the hillside worrier - the messy cabin with man that does nothing ?

Problems with the well

As a lot of people complained about the problem, getting the hero down the well, It has been brought to our attention that there is an issue with the current build of the game, and the developers are working on a fix that is not yet available.

We will announce here when it is.

Instead, as a workaround and in the meantime, you can do this: You can load a previous save to correct the order in which you perform the tasks, so that you do not run into this issue.

    OH SHI-*AWESOME BOMB*
    This series is why life is worth living.

    AMAZING that Westward III is up already!

    So I have a question already to start us off... anyone know how to get a dynamite license?

    I'm addicted to this game. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in the quest "Town's Treasury" where I have to find out who is stealing the Town's money. I have absolutely no idea how to manage it - any hints? *pleeeeease*

    To find out who is stealing the town's money......fire the mayor, but you have to fire him twice.

    anyone finished the game already? im stuck on the treasure part.i found the key but cant find the treasure and also having trouble with the part where you have to repair 3 cemeteries and defeat them bandits.any insights guys??

    To find the hidden treasure, you have to build a well in the middle of the blue rocks near the sunken house....but the second time I played, it didn't work.....To make it through the part where you have to build 3 graveyards, build tents (or houses but they are more expensive) and keep building some so you don't run out of people....(I kept an average of 5-8 that weren't possessed) The part I haven't found is the red flowers for the stranger (he had different names each time I've played) and how to get grapes because i uncovered the winery, but i have to build a farm and grow grapes before i can build it and I can't figure out how to get the grape upgrade....help me out somebody please if you've found these 2 things....t-y

    Where the heck are the red flowers for Cletus??

    To find the red flowers, build a flower box and then water them, they will turn red.

    Does no one want to share the solution to my dynamite dilemma? I cannot move forward at this point... I am thankful I have critters to kill to pass the time though...

    OK So I answered my own question. You can leave the first town, it's only a mini quest... have dynamite license in hand. Wish I'd done that 5 hours ago...

    For the rebuilding the 3 cementarys I found it easiest to take the three people you have, employ one to the lumber camp, one to the farm, and bounce the other between the saloon and general store. Gather gold and hire two gunslingers. Take out the bandits as quickly in the game as you can. The pumpkin head horseman will not come as frequently then. Then build a cabin and a gold mine in the water. Gather the gold to repair the cementary and remember you need to build a church first. I tried the other way listed first and it got spendy fast.
    Hope it works for you.

    I need help with the lumberjack save. Where do I put the bridges? I can't seem to get to 2 of them.

    So cool for the flowers!!!!!if you water them a second time, they turn purple!!!my fav. color, so how about groing grapes...anybody find that one????

    I am also addicted but am having trouble finding the largest tree for the contest. Can someone please help me?

    does anybody know how to build a campfire ?
    i have to build one for access to the cave!

    So I have saved the lumberjacks, the mechanic, rebuilt the machine and destroyed some rocks infront off the cliff, opened the doors (rocks fell on the big button), but it doesn't continue, still says I have to destroy the rocks infront of the cliff....anyone know what to do??

    Is there a walkthrough already??

    how do i get the town population up i keep adding house but nothing happens

    would anybody be able to help me please, i cant figure outhow to up my population to 20! im currently stuck at 15 and it doesnt matter how many houses/tents i build nobody appears to move into them!! please help. many thanks in advance

    its me again, i was wondering how do i get myself 2 combat units together! Thanks

    In order to have a population over 15 people, you need to hire a Sheriff. Once you do that, people should start moving in again.

    To get to 20 people, you need to make your town more desirable. Increase the happiness. Does anyone know where the white rabbit is???

    lumber jack save. you need dynomite. 2 of the people are saved by blowing up blocked areas and 2 by walking through the water up the ramps (lower lumberjack blow up rocks in the water.

    the combat unit thing- some of the side quests will only take law enforcement (not outlaws from the saloon). Build more sheriff offices.

    cemetary building- must build a church first! Than it will let you rebuild the cemetaries.

    where is the winery?? still need white rabbit.

    I am having trouble in the haunted town I cant kill the bandits fast enough before the horseman takes my soul so my question is what do i need to do to make this come out I have spent hours on this. thanks so much

    Thank you osloblack

    Hurrah.

    That is all.

    I can't get the white rabbit, where do I find it?

    To get a white rabbit you have to grow carrots at 3 farms and one will appear. to catch him click on him he'll get put into a box. To get the grapes you have to change 3 flower pots to purple a lady will come and sell you grape seeds for $50. and to get into the cave you don't build a campfire you build a lamppost outside of it.

    where are the hidden supplies?

    I am downloading the game now. I haven't had much of this kind of gaming. Hoping I will enjoy this one. Glad I found this page to turn to. Thank you for all the help I know you'al will be giving me.

    Okay, so I'm a moron. Where in the heck do you find the hidden supplies? I feel like I've been all over the map and back and still can't find them. :/

    I am on the part where you have to do all the job requests. I cannot kill any bears and it is frustrating me...does anyone know how?
    AND-how do I get to that treasure chest behind the wooden gate?

    Thanks-Cari

    where is the biggest tree??

    biggest tree -- left site of the map surrounded by bears (build bridge)

    hidden supplies -- right site of the map (dynamite the path in the water)

    treasure chest behind the wooden gate -- chop down the tree left of the gate

    Stuck on the drill quest. I keep getting my fighters killed and buildings destroyed slowly but surely (why the gunslingers can't regenerate health the way bandits do...). Any advice on what kind of party to take and what priority to staff/rebuild things in? Further, what constitutes success for the quest goals? I once managed to get all the structures in town repaired, but didn't get a check for that goal. I can see a bandit camp that I suspect needs clearing to finish defending, but I can't get to it past the doors.

    S.O.S. any help with the bridges? is there something I'm missing. P.s. This is the greatest hints and spoiler walkthru site. So good and feels personal. Love it! Way to go... Jayisgames Greattt site....

    I finished the game but did not get all trophies and quest's (Yet) started over 2 times but never finished the "save farm" quest. anyone one who can help??

    LS
    On the drill quest I took all 6 lawmen, you need to make sure you repair everything completely, including the mine in the SE corner. Sometimes if the bandits come in they will damage again. Once you repair the General Store you can employ someone and get First Aid. Once you're completed it will tell you that you need to take the mechanic as escape by blowing up the blocked gate on the W to create a diversion then escaping through the S Bandit camp, they will open the gate. Hope that helps.

    Blair/Kytin
    Hidden Supplies are all the way south, on the ridge directly above the bottom rock arch, you wont see them till you walk up there, it's the arch above the snapper pond not the one by the waterfall.

    Does anyone know how to get off a horse?I tried clicking on the stable, and that didn't work.

    Does anyone know how to get the black horse for the wife?

    ok i got the horse but now i cant get all the votes. does anyone know how to get the last 6 votes?

    stuck on fur trade, how do i get to all the tunnels, there is one to the far left and cannot get to it? help.

    Help! I'm stuck on the drill recovery quest. How do you get through the gates to the drill bit and where's the key to the door with the dynamite? I've been working different combinations for quite awhile now and the dent in the wall where my head keeps hitting it is getting bigger and bigger! I'll take any help or suggestions I can get.

    Lumber Jack rescue. I still can't get the lower guy. I have blown up both rocks but the bridge still doesn't fit anywhere.

    @laina - Drill recovering quest

    I hope, this is,where you have your problems with
    First door - 1 on 1 switch other guy on the other. This will open the door on the left.
    Take 1 of your people and go stand on the switch in that room. That will open the door forward.
    Bring both people through the door, up the hill and down to the right. Have 1 of them stand on the switch in front of you.
    When the door opens, leave the person on the switch and walk the other through.
    Now move the person off the switch and back onto it again. The door that was just walked through will close and the 1 next to it will open.
    Have the first person walk through this door and step on that switch, this will open the 3rd door in the previous area. Have them walk back into the area with 3 doors.
    Now have the other person step off the switch they are on and back on it again to reopen the door for them to walk through. Take both people through the 3rd door.
    Now if you want you can fish in the pond to get the key to open the door in the top right. This will get you the dynamite and you can go back to blast through the rocks and get all the stuff back a couple areas.
    Here is the part that most people seem to be having trouble with. Put each person on 1 switch, this will open the door in front of you.
    Now move the person on the right through the door. When they move off of the switch the door to THEIR right is opened, go through that door.
    Take the person still outside the first door and move them to the switch on the right, this will open the door in front of the person inside.
    Take them through that door and step on the switch. Leave this person standing on the switch and take the 1 outside in through the door and to THEIR left. When they step on that switch the main doors will open.
    Now you have to take this person back out the first doors to stand on the switch on the right again so your other person can get out.
    Move them both into the final big area.
    They should now each step on a switch to the right, this will open the door to where the drill bit is.
    Bring 1 of your people in to get the drill bit and the final door will open to get you back to the beginning.

    Okay. I am at a loss here. I am on the build a grainery quest, and have the wood but don't have enough gold. I have looked everywhere for more on the ground but can't find any. Am I missing something?

    @Sue
    No, all you have to do is going around and looking for gold and wood

    If it doesnt work out, try to start over from your last save before this quest

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    Got a couple of questions;

    1) I have the purple flower boxes (3) and still no lady bearing grape seeds?

    2) Black horse? Only one I've seen had pumpkin head guy on it. It says check your stables, I've built 6 but no black horses so far am I missing something?

    Thanks

    Thanks Kayleigh for the post on the Black Horse. I'll keep building stables...

    i am having problems killing the bears. do i need special weapons or something? thank you!

    @Liss

    You have to build up to 5 or 6 flower boxes, before the lady appears

    But you already have the winery? If not, complete the smuggler quest

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    Sue, to add to what Kayleigh suggested just a little bit: Gold comes in several forms, but one that may not seem apparent when you first get started off are the veins. If you can't find any bags or nuggets lying around, also keep a weathered eye open for gray rocks with streaks of yellow in them. You can right click these to mine.

    Not exactly sure if there are any available on the granary quest, but if you're stuck, it might be something to be on the look out for.

    can someone tell me how to do the Baron Family Rescue? I have been working on it for 12 hours. I cant get the gate open for the horses to cause a distraction.

    i don't know how to build te train station or and outpost... help please..=) ????

    @Mrs. Beeks

    Im not 100% sure, but try to shut down the water tower to the right of the horses

    @Ina Ervik

    The outpost is the first one behind the bridge picture in the "build - tool"
    The train station

    That is an upgrade for after you have an outpost. First you have to purchase the train track upgrade from the store. Then if you click on the outpost building, there is a button there to click on - kind of like the fortification button on the lumber mill and it will update from a wagon to a train

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    I have the key but don't know how to get to the treasure?!

    justpgthru

    Not exactly sure where you are at because I'm far from finishing the game myself, but if you are where I think you are, you should have a well built amid some blue rocks. You're supposed to right click your character on the well and you should get a message saying something to the effect of if you want to dive through. That should get you to a pond and the treasure chest should be near by.

    Thanks Kyle, that worked out great now if I only knew how to build an outpost!

    I am so stuck! I can't figure out how to get to the far tunnel in the tunnels and hide gathering part. Does anyone know how to get past this part?

    I am working on the quest where you solve the neighboring towns problems. How do you get ride of the wolves??

    Can anyone please tell me step by step how to save the lumberjacks? ive been trying for days and im completely lost =[

    @jesha

    Build a bridge to reach the island with two sticks of dynamite. Go north and build a bridge. Save your first lumberjack. From there go west. Blow up the boulder with one dynamite to reach the second lumberjack. You can build a bridge to reach the island with one dynamite stick. So now you have 2 sticks. Go south. These is a female lumberjack, reach her with a bridge. Go in the river. Next to the gold mine there is a boulder. Blow it off with a dynamite. Go down in the river to reach the fourth lumberjack. Continue in the river towards a bit north to see anouther boulder. Blow it off with your last dynamite. You can now reach the 5th lumberjack. So you don't need to build bridges to reach everyone. Two of them can be reached by clearing blockage in the river and walking up from the river to the land they stand on.

    @Jenn
    Is that the quest, who is stealing the money?

    South of town there's a place with a bunch of animals in it. It is closed off. Blow up the fence and the wolves will be able to get to their hunting ground

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    Don't know if anyone's addressed the tunnel/hide exchange problem, but here's what I did: Go to the tunnel in the back of the main area that leads to the two tunnels on the left. Come out one, go in the other, and it leaves you just on the other side, behind the main area. Go back in the tunnel you just came out of, and it will put you facing the front of the scene in a very small area, near the burned out bridge. There is a hidden cave there on the character's left (your right). Blow that up, and you'll have the entrance opened on the extreme left. Get both characters through and you're done!

    I dont have enough exp to unlock Sheriff`s building? HOW can i make more exp ... coz i dont have any quests or something like this .. i still miss 4 exp.. and have no idea how to solve the problem ..

    tnx

    does anyone have an idea how to get in the black bear area? i'm trying to build a bridge but didn't work my guy can't go to the other side to build a bridge now the bridge is not available in my building tool anymore..thnx

    I am completely stuck in the "Raise your population to 20" quest. My population is at 15 and there are many cabins built to house more residents but no one is moving in. My happiness level is way up high in the green. I don't have any other quests I can do to raise experience and therefore cannot afford to purchase anymore buildings that are locked (like someone said you need a Sherrif to invite more people). How can I increase my population? Or is this a glitch and I've already lost the game? Thanks.

    Please help !!!!

    I cant save the game. or just it saves the game, but i cant load it. Where to fix the problem?

    Chyzz

    To get to that side of the river, you have to first come across the lumberjacks stranded on a little island. You do this by walking through the river to head south. Once you do this you will get the lumberjack quest, after which you can build bridges.

    BUT, you have to have a lumber mill, not to be confused with lumber camp, built. You have one already there for you in the lumberjack quest, but once you get back to your city, you don't have a lumber mill any more.

    So, get the lumber mill built after the lumber jack quest, and then you build the bridge from that island to the black bear area.

    Thanks for the help, Kayleigh. Now, can anyone tell me how I chop down the tree? Do I have the right one? I think it's by the guy who needed the hill re-forested. All the bears were around it. I tried taking my hero over to it, but nothing happens. I even unlocked axes thinking that would help but it doesn't. What am I missing? And thank God this site exists cuz I'd be totally lost otherwise!

    Where is the key to the treasure?

    Thnx for the insight Kyle but i already build a lumber mill and in fact i already put up a bridge but it says my guy "cannot reach to build the bridge" and when i try to make another bridge, my bridge is not available in the building tool section..is there a bug in my game?

    Chryzz, it could be that you don't have enough resources to build another bridge just yet. Check to see what you need and that the start of the bridge is on the side of the river your hero is on. I got mine stuck and it took forever to figure out how to get her to the start of the bridge. I ended up having to build a second one so she could reach the first.

    I found the largest tree and have killed about 5 bears. How do I chop it down?

    i got a lot of resources for building a bridge but the problem is my bridge turns gray that means i can't build it anymore i already built 3 lumber mill.still didn't work :(

    Where is the Mechanic?
    I have done everything including blown up the blockaid and the gates open but no mechanic anyone know where he is hiding?

    ok i'm stumped. the only time i wasn't able to build a bridge was when i didn't have enough criteria. not sure what to do when you have a mill and enough resources but still can't get one. sorry, chryzz! maybe someone else has the answer.

    I cannot get the last lumberjack in se corner. Can't build a bridge and can't find anything to blow up. Help, please

    Chryzz,
    Have you done the bridge tutorial yet? It won't let you build bridges until you do the tutorial.

    Kayleigh and Kyle. Thanks so much for your answers. This is really a great site for people not used to this sort of game. Thanks jayisgames.

    I really want to finish the professional challenge, but I still need help finding and chopping down the tree. Anyone help?

    Largest Tree
    I blew up this tree with dynamite, same with the one by the gated chest to the very north of town.

    Wolves
    You need to blow up the gate to allow them access to all the fenced in animals to the S of the town.

    Kayleigh
    Thank you for your input, 10 was my lucky number on the stables, 6 on the flower pots just goes to show how random the game can be. Now I am frustrated with 2 more hidden Easter Eggs... Thanks again.

    Yup i finish the tutorial i already set up the bridge but got a problem can't finish it coz my guy can't to to the other side, then i try to make another bridge but then my bridge tool in the building section turns gray..so i got stuck in the two quest...

    Chryzz, it could be that you can't build another bridge til the one you started is either finished or destroyed. What about having another character who can get to the bridge finish it and then you can have your hero build one he can get to? Maybe if you try that, you will be able to get unstuck. Hope that helps.

    Liss, even though it says chop the tree down, we can dynamite it instead? Gonna try it now and will let you know if it works.

    Dynamite the trees. It works.

    I'm stuck on the challenge to save the lumberjacks. I have all but the one in the SW corner of the challenge, where the lumberjack is standing with some gold next to him. The game won't let me build a bridge to him, saying it's obstructed, when it looks like it shouldn't be, and there's no way to walk to him. There is a gold mine in the water that is preventing me from building a bridge. I am currently standing on the island where I saved a female lumberjack that was with some crates, I think... I'm at my wit's end with this one. I've already started over twice now.

    You have to dynamite the rocks in the water. Go over the bridge to where the man in the middle island was and go down the ramp. Go around to the rocks in the water and blast them. Then you can go up the ramp to your last person.

    I have the same problem as Ray. I am stuck needing the sheriff's office when having only 7 points. Please help, cause I saved everything I did in one slot and dont want to start over!!!

    Liss, thanks for the tip, it worked and I finally finished that quest!

    OK So this is driving me crazy, couple more questions;

    1) How do I get more Prospectors for the employ 3 prospectors task. I only have one mine left, no more pan mines.

    2) What is the 3rd shop item?

    3) Can you return to the Main town after you do the Earthquake Challenge.

    4) I employed Jake at the Town Hall, why is he not mayor? Is this pending the majority vote?

    Oh, and I have 1 left that I cannot find anywhere, I'm about to start blowing up buildings. I hate Easter Eggs.

    This is for Chyzz specifically because I had something similar happen to me at a different portion of the game, and this is going to dovetail somewhat smoothly towards a more general hint for everyone who may be getting stuck in various spots.

    As for your problem with building a bridge, there are points in the game where you can't perform certain actions without completing other quests first. So, your bridge may not be complete if you have one of these sidequests still hanging out there.

    Check first to see what quest specifically is in the corner, and if that gives you no clues, then click your quest button to see how many open quests you have and if any are capable of being completed before you build that bridge.

    Now, because there are certain things that have to be done in a certain order, this also means certain events won't get triggered until after you've performed a specific action, talked to a certain person, etc.

    Where this becomes a general hint for everyone is that before you go into a major quest one way or another, if you can avoid the triggering event, you can use this time to gather resources and make sure that you are the best prepared for what is about to come.

    An example of this is the quest for the inventor of the steam powered drill. Here you have to rebuild a town while periodically defending it from bandits. You can't actually do any repair work or building before you fine the inventor, but until you find the inventor you will not come across any bandit raids, meaning that you can scoop up all the free resources before actually activating the quest, putting you in a very strong position to get a good start and increase your chance for success by having the resources necessary to build and repair buildings, and even deploying wisely your gunslingers.

    Hope that helps for now!

    I answered my own question re: the 3rd shop item. Now the hats are bugging me I'm missing the center and lower right. Any suggestions?


    Can anyone tell me what the last upgrade is? I have the winery, butter churn and grapes.

    I have finished all main quests but only have 6 of 9 hats and 1 items - cowboy boots in the general store. Help..... I have tried everything I could think of, money and resources are not a problem ............

    What is the easter eggs? Is it a side quest and is so how do you trigger it?

    I cannot get the treasure no matter what I try, I have rebuilt the well at least 10 times.

    Does anyone one know the max people in a town? I am up to 40 and cannot go any higher, is that the max?

    Thanks

    @TJ Spring
    Ok, let's see, if I can at least answer a few of your questions :)
    The easter eggs are a quest and you have to find them
    To get the quest

    You have to get the ostriches to get to the easter eggs. Build 3 ranches and grow the 3 farm animals

    Location of all 15 easter eggs

    1 - In front of the cave entrance in the water (SW corner of map)
    2 - In the water at the bottom of the waterfall
    3 - By the rock pile in the south area where there bears are
    4 - Behind the farthest right tree (stump) where the land slide is
    5 - Behind the tree on the right side of the waterfall
    6 - Behind the bush on the left side of the bandit's gun shop/gold mine
    7 - Behind the farthest left tree behind the outpost (right across the river from #4)
    8 - Where the treasure chest is
    9 - Behind the rocks in the NE water pond
    10 - To the right of #7 behind the rotted tree
    11 - To the right of #8 behind the rock pile
    12 - Near the large tree blocking the path near the 3 professional challenge guys
    13 - Just above #11 in the alcove
    14 - Behind the right big tree above the blue rock circle
    15 - On top of the hill in the SW corner of the map

    The hats

    There are 9 hats
    1. Merlin
    2. Viking
    3. Cowboy
    4. Trojan
    5. Pirate
    6. Fruit
    7. Cheese
    8. Indian Headress
    9. Deer
    As you did not finish all quests - the treasure for example, that might be the reason, that you are missing some. When you tell me, which one you are missing, I might be able to help you.

    The Treasure

    You can't jump into well until you have completed the other steps.
    One chest is up around the outpost area. It is in a fenced in area,
    Blow up tree the tree and it will fall on the switch, which opens the gate.
    Go to the chest and it gives you a clue about a cabin
    Go to the river cave, then go to the well. The blue box is only there if you have activated the easter egg quest

    Hope, it will help you a little
    Greetings, Kayleigh

    am stuck , can't get rid of Ike standing by the mining gold, so can't build 3 mines in water? also I can't get across the river to find hidden supplies, not sure if because I haven't done the building bridges yet? help!!

    ok got rid of Ike and blew up the rocks by him so am hoping can find the hidden supplies? luv this site :-) cheers to all

    For all, which might have the same problem as chezza
    The second gold minning

    You have to build a saloon. After this, the man, which blocks the gold in the water, will leave

    @chezza

    The water shows the way..... ;)

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    I AM STUCK TOO!!!

    I need help with drillmachine [Setup the con].
    I blew up the rocks at the cliff (East), but after they have fallen on the button to open the gate, nothing happens!!

    What is the step I have to do??

    PLEASE HELP!!

    hi! can somebody please teach me how to kill bears? thank you so much!

    I don't know how to do the spoiler thing...but for the perfect gift quest I did not have 3 farms. I had 1 farm, 1 general store, 1 saloon, 1 panning mine, 1 lumber camp, and 4 log cabins.

    Indian Hat

    How do I get the Indian Hat? I've played through a couple times and have done everything I know of but I must be missing something. One time I got all 9 Hats but didn't get the designer Award. Drat! Thanks

    I need help on the Rusty Bucket Challenge...I cannot get anything accomplished because the bandits won't stop demolishing everything. They come back every 2 minutes and every time there are 2 or 3 of them and I can't afford gunslingers yet.

    How do you build the outpost after you plant the trees for the new route?

    Againes - To rebuild the outpost,

    click on the old broken outpost across the bridge to the right of the trees. An icon to repair the outpost will appear when you click on it.

    Donna - on Rusty Bucket,

    try having your hero protect the town while your spare villagers go around collecting resources until you have enough money to hire gunslingers. It's definitely tricky to keep the town protected in the beginning though, don't feel discouraged.

    prememorie - The Indian hat

    is acquired when you defeat McAllister at the end of the game.

    thenightlighter - about the trading post challenge:

    Are you still having this problem? Sounds like a glitch to me. Did you actually have enough food, or just the capacity to store that much food? Incidentally, for the food collecting quests, sometimes it is easier to just build granaries and collect food instead of building farms.

    Anyone know if there is a way to rotate your view? There have been several times that loot will fall behind trees and it is so hard to see to click on. Anyone know of a way to rotate the screen?

    Thanks! :)

    Argh! I planted the trees on the hill and got the message to rebuild the outpost, but the game won't let me click on it! And no one is coming to my town to take me to the Earthquake challenge. Has anyone else run into this glitch?

    Jen - I seem to remember you could hold the space bar to rotate the view? Try that..

    Sarah Bee - Are you sure you're clicking the right building? Its not the shack near the trees, its the building along the trail to the right.

    im playing in sandbox mode at duskwater dam. how do get to the object in the center of the river?

    Thanks to all of yall for the help. I didnt have anything good to post that someone else hadn't already answered already... Until I found this HIDDEN HAT. You wont find it in the Hat Store.

    Have a upgraded (gun) deputy get a hat. It doesn't matter which hat. AFTER he has a hat on, then you get him a horse and it will change into a DEPUTY HAT when he mounts the horse. (Again the order is Upgrade the gun, get a hat, any hat, and then get a horse. The hat then changes automatically)

    I'm in the haunted town. Killed the bandits. Need to build a church but only have 6 experience points. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Oldgamer - You might have to come back to that quest once you have more points or have opened up the church - I had that problem too. The trading post and sheriff quests are great ways to get experience points.

    Hello I am new to site but not the game.
    Need help finding white bunny and with the earthquake town. I have redone that quest 10 times now. Any good ideas people?

    Also what is the trick to the haunted pumpkin head town?

    Thanks much in advance.

    gayle

    [Edit: Did you check the walkthrough at the top of the page? There may be some information to help you there. -Pam]

    Hi. I've been playing this game for about two days now and I'm kinda stuck. I have two problems.

    1. I've got the drill together and everything. But I can't seem to find the rocks I'm supposed to have my hero blast. It seems I've blasted just about all the rocks around the drill and still nothing. Does anyone perhaps happen to have a screenshot of which rocks? If I missed it here, sorry.

    2. for the bounty wanted poster quest things, I finish the fifth one, but it won't give me anymore after that. Should I build another sheriff's office? I have two up right now.

    Thanks for any help :)

    erily - about the rocks and the drill -

    I don't have a screenshot, but the rocks are on the east side of the raised plateau right above where the drill is. There is a tree on top of the plateau, and rocks on the east side. Does that help?

    For the wanted poster bounties,

    I think you'll have to wait until you build the next town to open the next set of quests.

    I've gotten through most of the game and am now looking for MacAllister in one of the wagons. BUT...I can't shoot any bear to complete the professional challenge. When I click on the bear, they are on a yellow circle rather than a blue one. I can't shoot them. The only other problem I've had was I was locked out of the Smuggle challenge. That guy just came up and said he waited too long and wasn't coming back, so I couldn't complete it. Is there any way to unlock the Professional Challenge so that I can complete?

    Lisa - It's possible that you've been locked out of other challenges because you're in the middle of a battle.

    You can continue to do quests after beating McAllister though - so I'd suggest saving here in case you want to return to this point, and finishing the battle.

    Still need help with the Easter eggs. The screenshots are great but numbers 12 and 13 are missing and 9 is the same picture as 14. Save me!

    Eileen - Thanks for the info. I completed all of the quests, found MacAllister, and completed the game and STILL cannot shoot any of the bears. Anyone else have this problem?

    How do you beat the "save the farm quest"? I get to "waiting for redd to return" then willy comes and I fail. Is this supposed to happen ?

    Tabby - The Save the Farm Quest..

    can't be beaten :)

    Lisa - What exactly happens when you shoot the bears?

    Can you provoke the bears into attacking you, and maybe your hero will defend automatically? Have you tried using a deputy or gunman instead?

    PLEASE HELP! Okay so on the sunken treasue...I found the blue rocks. The first thing I tried was to build a well on it. I tried blowing it up. I tried building a fountain. Nothing works. I found this sight while looking for answers. I read that if a well was built there then that is the answer. This is not working for me. Do I have to do something else first.
    Also...On the pumpkin curse level. I have been having a hard time with this one, I can now no longer get into the cave to attempt the mission. My charecter won't enter. He doesn't make a comment as to why. It is as if the cave is not there. Is there glitches in the game? There seems to be. I am very far with more resources coming in then I can even use, and do not have any desire to start again. Please HELP!

    hello can somebod help me how to get population of 20 to depend the town

    Gracie - population of 20

    To get a population over 15 you need a sheriff (not only deputy, that's not enough), to come over 20 you have to give them luxery as buildings, plants and what ever else there is offered (sorry, it's a while ago that I played it, so I don't know exactly, what kind of luxery there is)

    Greetings, Kayleigh

    Help me please! I can not get into the haunted town. Where is this cave? And where have I put the lamp post?

    I'm having trouble. I 'm on the new trade route quest where you need to plant trees to stabalize the hillside. I'm trying to plant trees behind the cabin on the left side of the river but it won't let me, and when I plant them on the right side of the river, nothing happens. Anyone else have this problem? What do I do?

    why cant I build a bridge?
    It keeps telling me I need a lumbermill, well I have 3 of them, I dont understand. Could it be because I messed up before and tried to build a bridge but didnt realize it was on the wrong side of the water and she cant get to it?
    thanks

    I was just wondering if there was a reason to gather up all the resources you don't really need in the side quests.

    For instance in the bandit quests you get from the sherrif's office, do you come back with those resources?

    NovaLee--Sunken Treasure

    you need to get the first key from the cave in the river, it is at the east most part of the river on the bottom portion of your map. You may have to destroy a bridge to get to it, if you have built one between the ramp and the cave.

    Jenni,

    That shouldn't matter.

    Make sure you ahve the resources (I know obvious one). If you still can't I find saving and quiting then coming back sometimes help to reset stuff. If that doesn't work, then you may need to start from a previous save point.

    Thea - The trees for the outpost...

    need to go on the left side of the river. Maybe you are experiencing a glitch, but try planting them anywhere they'll let you! I think all of mine were up on the hill north of the cabin. Have you unlocked trees from the general store?

    Bee1976 - The lamppost for the haunted town...

    should be built near the cave on the far east of the map.

    Jenni:

    One other thing, you sure you have a lumber mill and not just the huts to collect lumber? Sorry I know you said something about trying to build one in your post but just checking.

    There are 2 unknown trophies, do we know what they both are?

    Unknown Trophies

    I have now tossed at least 20 coins in the fountain and still no trophy, any suggestions?

    Can someone tell me is there anyway to rotate the view on the game. I have an egg behing the cliff, but the characters will not pick it up

    Hold down the space bar and you can rotate the scene. Just see where the egg is and drag your hero to it even if it's behind the tree.

    Regarding the egg hidden behind the tree (and who would have thought to LOOK there???): You can't pick anything up in rotated view. So in normal view, just push somebody around behind the tree--left and right, but mostly AWAY--until the pointer changes, and then click.

    To thenightlighter and anyone else failing their first Trading Post Challenge: What the failure message fails to tell you is that you don't get credit until and unless you click the "!" balloon and REPORT you've got the necessary material.

    I consider this message failure a programming error, so I am NOT putting spoiler marks on it.

    There is one last frustration available from the stupid Earthquake Valley quest. (Any quest where the most reasonable way to pass the challenge offered is by saving so as to avoid actually getting that challenge is, by me, stupid.)

    If you build north of the path where you first enter, build well north of it and/or east or west of the signpost. Because when you've finally succeeded, if Harris Pilton doesn't get to stand exactly where he wants to, the quest doesn't end. It just keeps going.

    Moreover, if you try to Load a game saved after that catastrophe, the program freezes.

    ChristineB, here's the answer someone else pointed out about gathering up the wood and gold you don't need during side quests:

    You can use those resources to buy Buildings, Upgrades, and/or Luxuries in the Store before you leave the quest. This is similar to using the Health Kits and Gun Upgrades you pick up there--they don't come back with you, but the effects do.

    Also, I want to thank someone for pointing out that you can have a second Sheriff's office, and thus get extra Deputies. Because that means I can have enough people so that most of them don't get killed at the higher levels of the side quests. (Yes, I know it's only a game--but I still don't like sending personnel out with the *expectation* that they'll die.)

    Back to that egg bit: Apparently if you get frustrated enough with one behind a tree, you can

    dynamite the tree without harming the egg.

    Can't say that I've tried that, but it's covered elsewhere in these postings

    Jenni, about not being able to build a Bridge:

    Whenever you go to build anything, you always get the messages about prerequisites above the Build space. They matter only if the item is grayed.

    So if you have a Lumber Mill (or more), and can't build a bridge, look to the main playing space for a message. For instance, that:
    * The character can't reach the building site
    * Your attempted build site is blocked
    * You need a certain amount of Gold and Wood--meaning you're short on one or both.

    The spoilers about the HIDDEN HAT are true but misleading.

    All that happens, in my experience, is that the hat the deputy bought *changes back* to the standard deputy hat once you have him mounted.

    Which is silly and not worth even the 5 extra gold it costs.

    If I'm missing something, please comment.

    I have a question and I am really stuck, its probably something stupid I am missing but I can not get to Willy to talk about revenge on mcallister. How in the world do you get to him?

    Also,if I am running out of gold and my panning mills are out how do I get more points to build and more gold if I have collected everything I can get to? Do I need to restart? Because I can't rescue the 2 lumberjacks, can't get to willy, or research the gold mine. I am new at this type of game and love it but I'm struggling and I have been working on it for days. I appriciate any help.
    thanks, Steph

    to kill bears clickyour person and right click bear i normally die 3 times before its dead if i use main charecter so if you dont kill it in one go dont worry it doesnt regenarate like bandits.

    with the sunken tresure once you have built the well click on it to jump in

    i need to build a bank to finish the con quest, but don't have enough points. How do i get back to the trading post or cook off qwests. my farms have been producing corn and carrots forever it seems like. i have the red snapper and the deer.

    grammajoe - Can't you hit exit to leave the quest? You should be able to return to it later once you have enough points.

    Steph - Have you found the lumberjacks? Have you crossed the river?

    There are two sets of rocks blocking parts of the map/. If you blow up the rocks in the river blocking the southern gold deposits, you can reach the lumberjacks.

    i found the lumberjacks and have saved them. i'm needing to get into another quest so i can get some more points to get the bank, so i can finish the quest with willy.

    Love the site, very helpful but i'm in a bit problem right now.

    I can't find the mechanic on the red arrow on the southern part of the map.

    i fixed all the buildings, increased population and is maintaining the count, although i guess earlier one got hungry and left. after all of the above, i hired somebody to work for the store to buy a dynamite, i fired him and put him to work at the saloon and hired one gunslinger only. I blowed up the area where i can distract the bandits, but when i walked towards the red map, Mr. Mechanic isn't showing up.

    Did i just missed something? Tried reading any post about it but JIGuest question on page 2 wasn't really answered clearly.

    I'll appreciate if somebody drops hints! Thanks!

    squeekz - The mechanic doesn't actually appear by the arrow,

    You have to drag him along with your entire group over there. If you lasso all your people he will be in there somewhere!

    I did save the 5 lumberjacks with the bridges but I cannot save the 2 lumberjacks on the island in the main area and I do not have enough points or gold to do anything so I am really stuck. I would really appriciate any help. Thanks

    in the trading post quest, i built the grainery,(cant'spell) actually built to with a capacity of 40. I got the 40 but it still says i failed the quest. all i need is 25.

    grammajoe - Sounds like a glitch. Did you actually HAVE 40 food, or just the capacity to hold 40 food?

    steph - If you have any other open quests available, you can do those to get points and gold. If you have a sheriff's office or trading post, the trading post and wanted poster quests are great ways to get points. If you get the gold to build something for the first time, you can get points for that. Otherwise you will probably have to start from a save point - remember to save backup points that you can return to!

    I actually had 40 food points. I have tried this quest at least 20 times. It keeps saying I have failed.

    if there is a glitch, how does it get corrected?

    Steph,
    You can have some of the saved people build a mine in the river and mine the gold there. Also put some to work cutting lumber. They can also dig gold from the small piles of gold.

    grammajoe - You could try loading the game from a save point and seeing if that helps. Otherwise you might have to start over, or contact customer service where you purchased the game about the bug. Wish I had better advice!

    Hello All !
    Can I tell you that all your hints and spoilers saved me alot of time ; )
    Anyhoo, I've finished the game and I'm on to collecting all the trophies. Are there any special tasks to complete?
    I've done the egg hunt, grown grapes, built the butter churn, ostriches, etc.
    I can't get the pirate hat (I missed the treasure hunt in the first town) and I failed the smuggling challenge, missing the winery. And I'm still missing the cheese hat and the last two secret items at the store.
    If someone could let me know if I'm truly done, or missed something, I'd appreciate it.

    Hi. I was wondering do you have to wait until the second town to do the egg hunt? I'm in the first town and I've built 2 and 3 chicken ranches but nothing happends. I'm guessing a pop up will show saying something about it like all the other mini quests. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    JIGuest - Cheese Hat

    - you need to build two cattle ranches and 3 butter churns

    Hi All

    I have a question.

    When I played the game the second time I got the Bandit Boss and a Wolf (a Guard dog), this was because I had completed the sandbox challenges. I found the 2 resources very useful in some of the quests, particularly when I ran out of gold and couldn't afford a gunslinger.
    But I only got them for the first town, how do I get them for the second town? Do I need to replay the sandbox challenges?

    Thanks

    clevername - Yes, you can't access the egg hunt until the second town.

    Hi all,

    I need to mine for silver, for the silver ring. However, before this quest became an option, I had already mined ALL deposits. Is there any way of getting this silver on the side quests then?? Please help...

    Thanks

    Matt - Sorry, but you'll have to start from a previous save point. The silver doesn't regenerate!

    One of my town folk has become a drunk, Help!!

    Amy - The only way to deal with a drunk is to have a sheriff's office, and drag your sheriff onto the drunk. The drunk will be put in jail until they get their act together, and can then rejoin your village.

    How do you build the stable. i don't see that option. also, i have the white rabbit in the crate, but can't do anything with it.

    Take your hero to the rabbit crate and he/she will pick it up. Do you have a sheriff's office yet?

    Yes, I have the sheriff's office, and have taken the hero to it, but will not pick it up. Also,

    There is also a spoiler for taking a bunny to a hole, where it will bring out a treasure chest. Where is this hole? i have a lot of white bunnies running around.

    [edit: spoiler added. -eileen]

    grammajoe - You've unlocked the stable in your buildings menu? And regarding the rabbits, which town are you in and what quest are you doing? There are several that involve bunnies.

    i got the bunny for the traveler. i actually had to blow up a granary so the hero could get to it. now i have the stables but no black horses. i am in the second town. still don't know what to do with the bunny as far as finding a hole for it. i did go into a cave and found the haunted town, which i have solved. also on the 5 barrels, i solved that yesterday, but it is making me do it again.

    I have completed the earthquake request, and haris pilton started to show on the screen, then disappeared. If I go back to town, it still has the guy wanting to know if i want to go to the earthquake challenge. How do I get back to town, with the completed earthquake quest?

    Rescue the Mechanic
    In the walkthrough guide it says:
    Set the townsfolk to work at the lumber camp, the gold mine, and farm.

    I've gone into this quest several times...even started the game over to make sure I have the bank with 800 gold. But, I can't do anything once I get there. Townspeople don't say anything and they are in yellow rings and can't be moved. I can't repair buildings and I can't get a build menu either. I've picked up all the gold, logs, and food I can find and still can't do anything.

    Did I miss something before I got there? I've got a ton of gunslingers and deputies this time, too. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have a problem! How will the drunk people recover?

    MACKIE - You need a sheriff's office to deal with a drunk. Drag your sheriff onto the drunk who will then be jailed until they recover, and can later rejoin your village.

    castlemve - Is any dialogue happening when you get to the village? Did you find Willy?

    grammajoe - Black horses...

    are a random event. You just have to keep trying until one appears.

    The rabbit treasure..

    happens in the first town.

    Your earthquake quest problem sounds like a glitch. If you are certain you've completed the quest requirements and talked to the people you need to, then I can only suggest reloading from a save point. Good luck!

    eileen -
    The only dialogue is with the sheriff (?) who talks about the bandits tearing up the town and lets the hero (the female who isn't pocohantas) and gunslingers check the buildings for the mechanic. But the hero can't get into any of the buildings and can't repair them. None of the townspeople speak to her at all and can't be moved. I tried to build something but can't get the build menu.

    The first time on the quest, after not getting a rise out of anything in town, I found where the bandits were and headed straight over there (picking up all resources along the way). The bandits killed everyone off so I went back to town to see if anything would happen and nothing. I restarted the quest several times with no results (except everyone getting killed by the bandits), and then went back to the first town and tried to get the bank going but couldn't get the experience points so gave up and started the game all over.

    Now I'm back there with 800 gold in the bank and a huge amount of gunslingers and deputies and it is the same as before. Haven't tried for bandits yet, though. The walkthrough suggests getting the townspeople working as the 3rd step, so I assume I should be able to do that before I head off to get the bandits.

    The only quests I have back in the first town is to find the mechanic and several follow-on ones that start with preparing the drill, which I think needs to be done in the second town after finding the mechanic.

    castlemve - You have to find the mechanic before you can repair anything, I think.

    You should find the mechanic in the bank - move your hero in front of it and he should come out and talk to you to trigger the rest of the quest. Does that work for you?

    eileen -
    That did the trick! My hero was standing right in front of the bank -- I just had to move her a little closer.

    Thanks loads!
