Castaway 2: Isle of the Titans

This is a map, hope I posted it first.

Gosh I have so many things to play and one more to add! *bookmarks*

I want to play this game. But the walking / collision is difficult and very fiddly. I approached the pedestal with the stick about 6 times before my character walked up to it. Shouldn't be that fiddly. Also hard to navigate around paths somestimes have to back up and walk again for it to work. I loved the first game and wanted to play this one, but it needs some work.

I've decided to go the magic route, but the mana calculation seems a little buggy. I'm level 9 and only have 84 mana. But I could have sworn that I had over 100 at level 7 or 8. I think it happened when I leveled again (it actually went down the moment I gained a level, before I distributed my points). My guess is that it may have something to do with the Wizard Rod I'm carrying and how it's modifier is calculated in. Gonna try just going with the dagger for a while and see if that fixes things. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Muppet, magic weapons come later...
Lets See:

Couldn't play it. First the text would only continue after several presses of space bar, then it moved really slowly and then it crashed my browser. Anyone else had this issue?

Terrible battle system with the collisions. With flash and with a large game file, you can't know when a monster is actually within your sword's reach *and* your reaction time. You can sit there and try to time it, and clearly the game wants you to, but there's NO visual indication of when anything's in range, no way to know if you can even land a hit when in range. With a realtime battle, you end up swinging at nothing, then getting killed by low level creatures.

It's too bad, because it's fun to fight lots of monsters at once. Instead, you have to do the same thing:

I had more fun with the previous one.

Shu
If you went mage rather than warrior
you wouldnt have this problem

Set pet to assist, cast poison at target
sit back and wait for the exp

But that's my point -- it's *boring*. Why should I be forced to play one way? What if I like hitting things? (Which I do... don't judge me.) It is no longer fun if something simple in the game mechanics prevents me from hitting things, rather than my own skill at hitting things.

Is the worst thing you can say about a game is that it "has potential"? I agree with the other reviews here: This game is waaaay too "fiddly". Why is the approach to the locations in the town only three pixels wide? Why can't I tell when I'm close enough to swat at a monster? Why do I have to be facing the stupid monster to hit him when turning makes me run INTO him and causes damage to my character?? Why is it so difficult to tell exactly where you can and can't walk? Why can't I move while I'm fighting? Well OK, I can... but why is it so herky-jerky? Why do all the events and processes take so stinking loooong? Why do I have to be standing directly ON something to pick it up? When I buy a weapon three or four times the strength of my old one why does it seem to take the same amount of time to kill monsters?

I give this game an overall rating of "meh".

I actually found spell combat to be more fiddly than melee. You have to line yourself up perfectly to hit the enemy with a spell, but with a sword or staff, you can hit anything near you. That said, it would be nice to have some passive spells that do things like make you heal faster, or have the ability to stun your opponents on a regular swing of the weapon. I have all these skill upgrades but none of the available skills really interest me.

Another criticism: the crafting system is really clunky. There should be a multi-craft option and/or the ability to craft things that are already in your recipe book with one click. As it is, if I want to use up some items by crafting 6 shields, I have to drag each of the ingredients to the craft area 6 separate times.

For all its flaws, I was really enjoying this game up until one of the boss monsters

As far as I can tell, he's pretty much unbeatable until I level my character up so high I can kill him in a single hit.

How do I manually save?
There are multaple save slots, but I only know of auto save, limmiting me to one game per site.

FYI, if you want to play as a warrior:

Spikeball, you can save at

I found a bug in the game, or possibly a major typo. The description for the Titanization quest says

Is this a mistake in the game, or is a sapphire different from a sapphire shard?

Thanks! I didn't look there.
a sapphire is probably different from a sapphire shard, try

Quite a disappointment from so promising a start with the first Castaway. So many things are indeed improved, and the added crafting is nice. However, for a hack-n-slash grinder, the combat got tremendously worse. I agree with those who dislike the targeting difficulties combined with the auto-hit monster collisions. The first game used mouse targeting and item pickup - why change the one thing that worked and made the grind tolerable? Now it's just hard work to get an attack in without being damaged by collisions.

Too bad. Yes, it "has potential", which to me means that if there is some kind of update to make combat more sensible, I'm willing to give it another shot. As is, it's not even worth playing for free, let alone shelling out cash for "premium content". Even with its flaws, the first one is more playable.

help me i cant find timber

Castaway 2 Crafting Guide

Can anyone tell the exact effect of the panacea potion? The description in the game is a little vague. Does it wear off or not?
Thanks,

Muppetoid

Oh, for the love of... I'm at the final boss, and I'm honestly not sure if this is a glitch or the game being evil.

@muppetoid - it seems to give the same as the boost spell. And yes it wears off, after 30 seconds.

Unrelated, I seem to be unable to get a skull pixie egg.

@Apophys You can't get one from in-game, you need to pay two dollar for it.

Can someone say where i can get round shield?

@guymc You get a round sheild from crafting a wooden sheild with a Iron ingot

Where does one obtain the wooden shield and rusty dagger?

Also does anyone else find it silly that wood is obtained at random from animals, and that it's fairly rare? Especially considering the "RPG logic" of most of the items: shells from beetles, hides from squishier fare.

I'm really stuck on Vulcan, the last boss, level 21 caster in game and nothing I do even moves his health meter. Help please? Also I maxed out the poison and lightning trees.

Can someone help me?? Im trying to get to the nimph forge but cant. to give you an idea of how far i am, the main quest im on is killing mother Sobo. i think this is far enough considering getting to the nimph forge is a fairly early quest...

hey i think im stuck if someone could help me that would be appreciated..i think it may be a glitch but im not sure...
my current situation:
i think im a little more than half way thru the game, the last boss i faced was mr. tank..and i made my way thru the icy-glacier place (which btw was a bitch cuz of all the ice and stunning bastards). I did the quest for defeating the baby glacier anacondas then after completing it by getting my reward it said another quest had been unlocked which i figured would be to defeat the grown up glacier anacondas..so i returned to the sigil where i thot i got the quest for the babies and it was glowing (like usual) but when i opened it it said that the sigil has other quests for me but i must first complete other quests...which had never happened before...so i continued to defeat the rest of the other monster quests, came back, and the same message after i got the rewards....so i then went to the other forging quests that i could...but afterwards it still will not give me another quest...i only have 4 quests left and some are for the secret forgeries and by checking the spoils at the top of this page i dont have the proper materials to even forge the things...the others are creating non secret forges but i dont have the proper items like gold, the other one requires ruby globes, which i can obtain after a lot of lucky encounters haha but im sure theres some future quest that gives me at least 2 like one gave me 2 saphire globes or some boss to drop some....anyways, thats where i am, if anyone reading this can help or has any ideas i could try or has encountered this before and knows exactly what to do or doesnt know what to do...anything would be helpful haha
thanks

@Blane I had the same problem before. You need to talk to one of the Sigil (I'm not sure which one of them, maybe the one next to Hyperion's Gate) before you can get to that forge.

Thank you JIGuest. it was acctually the one west of the grasslands but you helped :)

Hi there, how do you get the Magi Seal or something like that to craft the Wizard's Rod?

Hey how do you get a sapphire shard?

I am a little bit into the game and have found the paladin talisman, how are they best used?
Which gives the best benefit? I have also have a Golem Talisman.
Would I be best crafting a golem armour and paladin chest or another combination?

Cheers

how do i get knight's momento? i have old knight's momento but it won't accept the craft combination. also, where do i get more golem talismans? i have two, but i want a whole set of golem armor.

@ jiguest, you need these things,
18x shards
1x alkahest
3 shards + 3 shards = gem
3 gems + alkahest = globe
globe + particular weapon = weapon upgrade

I dispose of the wood stick. and know i can't do the quests. how can i get a new stick?

PLEASE HELP ME!

You can buy the stick back at the weapon shop.

I'm stuck in the same situation as Zach. I went around every sigil to check for quests, did a loomi one I somehow missed the first time around, and I have only one quest left - a forging one that requires a ruby globe. Only one sigil left I can reach, and it's not giving me any quests until I complete some.

Im a little stuck where is an easy place to get mana herbs and im already lvl 17 plz help

Go back to early levers to get mana herbs I just wish the map was a little more stright forwars no real patchs and I have a pretty good computre and the game seems a little glitchy/laggy when I'm just walking

Aha! I found the sigil I was missing (in the area north of the Hyperion Gate, it was the exit at the right-hand side of the top of the area)

@ Apophys and guymcme1337

Its false; you CAN get a pixie (skull) egg without having to pay for premium content. I didnt pay and I have one level 23 pixie from the fire zone. I wasnt grinding for it, it dropped totally randomly. My guess is they are just rare since there are far less pixie creatures than any other type.

P.S. I dont know if this one heal a bit, didnt even try it. I keep several pets I dont use... at least one of each kind XD

You can only continue on to the boss after Mr.Tank by making Widow Claw By combining the Falcata and a Ruby Globe

Urm.., i'm stuck.. ok, this may sound like stupid, but i'm stuck after i took the wooden stick.. because after that, i don't know where to go!!! i just keep wanderin' until i reach the patches of grass then i can't get through!! i try hitting them with my wooden stick but.., nothing!! help me please!!!!!!!! i'm begging y'all!!! :'(

Where can I find iron easily for the Razor Sword? Finding 90 iron ore for 5 iron globes will take a long time wandering around unless there's a place with lots of iron.

i've got the same probleme as Zach

PLEASE HELP US !!!!

@JIGuest

You can only deal damage to Vulcan when you attack him from behind. Vulcan isn't to hard, just a bit tedious.

Wow,The Razor Is So Big You Can find Iron Ore At Anywhere

you can find iron ore at any place i got the razor sword easily

You can find many iron ores at Desert Of Tears

Hi Everyone! I'm trying to play the game but I'm stuck. I need to kill Puff No More but I can't get there without the blood of Ipeatus. To get that blood which I get by killing Puff No more. Weird.
There is another way through hyperions gate (don't have the blood) or through the west gate (don't have the key) but then I need to get through the east gate (don't have the key). So each path I could take is not possible because I can't get past the gates. What do I do?

um i just beat sister pedra or whatever and i have no idea what to do... i cant go to the forge of nymphas because theres a big gate in the way that i cant open... i dont understand what to do... i cant complete any quests because they require the forge and rubys and stuff which i cant get because the areas arent available to me yet... help?

I have got the Blood of Iapetus, where is the nearest place to get to the gate that the blood belongs to?

how do I get my pets out of the stable?

Ive been wondering where the angels tear is found since im trying to create what its needed to create: the paladins mace
then ill combine it with the vindicator, so all i need is the location of the angels tear and I will be set.

Desperate for rubies. I'm around the Mother Sobo quest level... I can't find them anywhere!

Bizarre bug. I beat the game, and wanted to wander around with my lovely

and the east exit from the second-to-last sigil area disappeared, the one between

I hopped us to the sigil area before that... we entered successfully, then turned around to leave, and once again the exit was gone.

Did a lot of backtracking before the final objective, and this is a first.

By the way, the stable stumped me for AGES. Click on the animal you want, and you can release or make them active. Problematic for zookeepers like myself. Their exact species is also not listed, ie all the eye varieties are called eyes. Name them wisely...

Some of the tiny icon buttons really need a mouse-over title. Or maybe I missed a help menu somewhere. Some of the functionality of pet control and magic are hidden, when you need them fast. Speaking of hidden, flyers swooping in from the hidden top-left are annoying. Much of what I complained about earlier can be beaten with placement strategy, given the map and the enemy movement patterns. This is, however, impossible if the game slows down with tons of enemies, which is exactly when you need your agility...

Also, an item locker (I like my old swords, okay) and some kind of magic to sweep up dropped items would be awesome.

I'm almost finished! I only need to defeat Vulcan! I deafeated a few enemies at level 34, which I am right now, but Vulcan is level 50! I need to level up so I can finish the game!

Chucky, depending on your pet and spells, you can probably pull it off at that level. I'm at level 29 and managed to put him down. Try

does any one know where to find the knights memento

See the map, zack.

ok, ive just killed angry petunia. what do i use oceanus blood on? (and not the gate, because thats open) and where can i find thunder vipers? i'm supposed to kill a bunch.

The Gate of Oceanus is in the screen before you approach the village (Astraea's Bastion). I think the Thunder Vipers

im stuck with the gate key

I just opened my browser and went to castaway 2 and my save file is not there. My other cookies apear to be intact, (passwords from other sites are saved). Anyone know what happened? Any way to get my progress back?

Hmmm i must have been better at this game then i thought... i killed Vulcan at 19. One tip, if you're using the strategy of having Vulcan in between you and your pet,

what do you use a plate for and what do you use to to fight Mr.tank

how do you kill mother sobo

Moonwalk trick :
face a direction (left/right) first then click opposite direction + up/down key

how do you get to forge of tethys?

How can I get premium items??

I play on a mac, using fireox, and I can't craft!
instead, when i drag the item, it just stay's in it's square. can anyone help me?

[What version of Mac OS X? What version of Flash Player? What version of Firefox? -Jay]

Hi, i need to know where the angel's tear is i can't find it and i want to finish the quest before i move on. please help.

why make a gold globe if gold is so rare and can only be used as ore?

@inceptor
look at the map.

actualy you should

I can not find where to get the central, west, and east gate keys. Please help, because without those, I can't go any farther.

I lost my Gaea Seed for the crafting of:
Imp Branche = Apprentice Wand + Gaea Seed.....Please Help!!!!!

Hello, I think I need a brief spoiler on the game.
I have defeated Mr Tank (by stupidly and persistently punching it through its mask, dealing a staggering ONE damage) and am now wandering around.
I nearly have 5 iron globes, and am considering if I should make the Razor Sword, but I am not sure if I want to do that - since if it is in a crafting quest, then I wish to refrain from crafting the sword AGAIN - and go through the iron grind again.
So - can anyone who has either finished the game or late-game, tell me if crafting the Razor Sword is a quest?
