I was wondering if anyone had any hints on how to log and class the plants in the right catagories. I am stuck at this part of the game and would really love to move on. I am not sure what to do next. I have called the Hardy Brothers, gone to the research center, called Ned, and gone back to see Dr. Quigly. Also, if anyone know how to get aroung the Eel at the entrance to the cave I would appreciate a hint.
Thanks Thing111

Hi Thing111 and Kaufshear,

I have played this game until the end it is a very good game. Now to help you, I have to ask for more specific details. You come across several places in this game where you have to identify plants, seeds or give each plant the right fertilizer or sorting and weighing the frass of each plant baggie under the microscope. For solving all these tasks from your clipboard you need to know how your plants look like.

So please tell me where exactly you are and what happened in your game just before.

Cheers

I have identified the plants. Every time I put the clip board in I get # 18. She keeps telling me either the blue or the red is wrong. Please tell me what is wrong.
Thanks

Thanks

Hi Kaufshear, Identifying the Hawaiian Plants 1/2

Clipboard: Study the clipboard in inventory. There are 6 colored traps. Turn the pages to read more. The plants around the traps should be identified. Then sort and record the contents of the frass baggies. The last is to analyze the samples.
Walk away from the tree and call the Hardy Boys for help.

Big Mikes Frank goes to Big Mike. Picks up the pawn shop invoice from the floor. Talks to Big Mike. Goes to the monitor left of the desk. Big Mike's Immersion Excursion - Clicks once on the slot to automatically enter a Big Island coin and activates the information monitor. Selects Hawaiian plants. Clicks on the turtle on the right to scroll through all the plants shown. Returns to menu, clicks 'yes' and pulls back. Exits the building and calls Nancy with the result.

Collecting frass jars and its contents at 3 Fingers Rock: Study and identify the vegetation around the trap using Frank's description. Enter the plant ID on the clipboard using the numbers at the bottom of the page.
Then take a colored baggie hanging on the left leg of the trap. Click the baggie on the collection funnel of the trap to get the samples. Click to place it in inventory. Do this to all the colored flags on the path until Quigley's tree.
Tip: There are red (big green leaves), blue (bananas), yellow (half flowers) and purple (sickle shaped leaves) traps.

Hi Kaufshear, Fertilizing the plants in Hilihili 2/2

Before you can do that, you need to go to the Camp Quigley after finishing the frass collection. Go to the microscope bench inside the tent. Look through the microscope and see that the lens is broken.

Fertilizer: Use the jeep to go to Hilihili. Press the button on the call stand for assistance.
Dr. Craven says that to get a microscope lens, you need to fertilize the plants. You are given a key to the enclosure. When you have done this job properly you go back to Dr. Craven and get the lens.

Good Luck!
Cheers

I have done all of this and still cannot please Quigley. Can you just give me the answers that are on the clip board?
Thanks,
kaufshear

Posted on Fri Oct 21 06:45:36 PDT 2011

Hi Kaufshear,

Kapu Cave: Did you also checked the second page of the clipboard and it shows the coordinates to 2 traps at Kapu Cave. Go back to the jeep and enter N 19, 20', 30" and W 155, 05' 33'. Click white arrow.
Check-collect the green trap by the jeep and the orange trap close to the cave entrance. No vegetation to be seen.
Go back to Camp Quigley to finish assignment. Are you now by sorting the frass?
For the exact datas for the clipboard I have to replay the game. I will send you in a separate message.
Cheers

I am usually real good at these games but this one has me stumped.
Thanks,

Hi Kaufshear,

Check the third page of the clipboard to learn what the seeds, insect parts and frass look like.
Click a colored baggie on the microscope.
Sort the contents by click hold drop the seeds and insect parts to left side. This will leave only the frass on the pan.
Enter the weight of the frass as seen on the read out on the first page of the clipboard.
Count the numbers of seeds, the number of insect parts and number of frass.
Enter the number of seeds on the first page of the clipboard.
Use the codes on page 4 of the clipboard to get the detritus predominance.
Enter the detritus predominance code on the first page of the clipboard. Do this to all the colored baggies.
Enter all the data on the first page of the clipboard now you can insert the clipboard on the Formula machine.

Cheers

I got all of that done and was able to get Quigley to approve. Now I need to Analyze the samples on page 5 of the clip board and I can't figure out how to get the samples in a test tube. Can you please tell me what to do?
You have been very helpfull and I thank you for that.

Hi Kaufshear,

You have first to go to Hilahili Research Facility and get access to the Green House. You have to succeed to get a pineapple leaf sample.

Go back to the tent in Camp Quigley and continue to the text tube bench.
Analyzing the samples: -Read the last page of the clipboard for instructions. Click a frass baggie of any color on the table. See the baggie and the pineapple sample on the table. Click the baggie at bottom right to see the frass in a test tube. Click on Bq19 and click the dropper on the test tube with the frass sample. It turns blue.
Click the pineapple sample on the table. See it in a test tube. Click on Bq19 and click the dropper on the test tube with the pineapple sample. They do not match. Better tell Quigley

Cheers

I have done all of that, now I need to find out what all those moth larvae have been eating by analyzing the contents fo the frass jars emptied.( Follow the directions on the clip board on page 5).
How do I do that? Are there things in other boxes I haven't found yet at Quigly's camp?
Sorry to be such a pain but I would like to go on with this game.
Thanks,
Kaufshear

Hi Kaufshear,

I am living in Australia, so when you have day we have night time and vise verso. That is the reason my responses are slow. Do you forgive me?

Greenhouse: Take the door at the end of the area. If you go in without a suit, you will be asked to leave. Click the yellow suit in inventory, click on the door and you will see through goggles.
Computer search of plant -: Go to the back wall and enter through the door.
Use the computer. Type in Fiderman's employee's number: 1466793.
Click on Shipping tab and you see he has shipped Fer C21 to Richard Aiken. Click on Extract Codes to find out, that the plant HH3333 is the source of it. Exit the computer and the door and turn right to hide. Be fast from computer to exit and right, if caught, well you get a second chance.....
Go back to the plant just outside of the computer room door and see pineapples planted on the HH3333 plot.
Click on it to get a pineapple leaf sample.

Cheers

You don't have to ask me to forgive you, I really do understand. I have been stuck on this game for awhile and I am grateful that you have the patience to help me. I will try what you have given me and for your sake I hope I can do the rest on my own. I know this has got to be a pain for you with me asking all these questions.
Thanks again,
kaufshear

Hi Kaufshear,

You are most welcome.

By the way I love helping, it's okay you can ask and I will help. It is no pain with it. I love helping and I have a lot of patience.

I can imagine how awful it is, when you are stuck and it just doesn't goes further. So why shouldn't I help, when I have finished the game? I like my fellow gamers, maybe one day you might help me, who knows!

Cheers

Lagoona,
It's me again. I don't know what I am doing wrong, but when I put in Fidermans ID # in the computer nothing happens.
I notice when i move my mouse over the employee of the month it turns red. Does the employee of the month have anything to do with it?
Thanks,
kaufshear

Hi Kaufshear,

I make you a checklist, what had to be done before you entered the Greenhouse, please check, I assume it must be something, which we missed to trigger the file of Fiderman.

Before you entered the greenhouse did you silenced the PDA - As soon as you took the PDA with clicking on settings at top right. Clicked on the 'mute' square at bottom right. Now, you checked the PDA. went to Employees and clicked on the employees tab at top left and scrolled to look for the fired employee - Fiderman. Learn that his employee number is 14-667-93.
Lockers: Clicked on the lockers tab at middle top of screen. Scrolled to look for employee #14-667-93. His locker number is 13 and the locker combination is R4 L2 L7 R9.
Went downstairs to the lockers and got the yellow suit.

Cheers
Lagoona

Did all of that. It took me a few times to figure out what to do but I did it all. When I open the door to the green house I automatic have the yellow suit on. Is there anything else I could have not done or maybe I did it in the wrong order? I really don't want to start over but I may have to.
Thanks,
kaufshear

Posted on Tue Oct 25 10:54:52 PDT 2011

Hi Kaufshear,

When you typed in the ID of Fiderman and pressed the Enter button and used your own keyboard for this, do you see somewhere on your screen a tab, which is called shipping?

If yes, just click on it.

Cheers
Lagoona

Lagoona,
well I am stuck in the cave. I am at the wall the has 6 pictures of islands and turtles. What order do I put them in?
Thanks,
kaufshear

Posted on Wed Oct 26 14:18:56 PDT 2011

Hi Kaufshear,

Feedback for Fiderman ID: I assume you could solve it. Was it the keyboard or did you figured it out differently? I am very interested in feedback, because like that I learn and might be able to help someone else, who is stuck at the same place. Can you please let me know, thanks!

I turned all the animals to the ones, which Frank has mentioned. figured it out with the chart taken by Frank. The sequence is the same except for the top first two animals.

Solution
Arrange the teeth: Left to right. The top row: Shark, eel, turtle and octopus. Bottom row: Porcupine fish, crab, urchin and manta ray.

Cheers
Lagoona

Lagoona,
I got free of the green house YEAH!!! I did just what you said. Now I am in the cave and I have gotten past the teeth but I am trapped in. I need the solution to the wall that has 6 blocks that have islands and turtles on them. On the side there are 6 numbersin red that have to be placed in order. I need that solution to get out.( I'm guessing).
Thanks,

Hi Kaufshear,

Look up at where the eyes are focused on. There's a big, really big boulder up there.
Place the numbered dice on the empty square of the correct picture to make the story sequence.
Here a little hint: Look at the growth of the palm tree.

The story starts with an island and a volcano. A turtle arrives and stays for a while. After laying 4 eggs, the turtle leaves and the volcano get's active. The volcano erupts. Two eggs are hatched and the 2 baby turtles swim away.

Solution:
From left to right and top to bottom row
the dots of the dice are # 3, 1, 6, 5, 4 and 2.
The boulder stops for a while, when you get it right.

Attention: After solving the puzzle, Look at the eyes, which now look towards right. Immediately turn right and be out of the way when the boulder falls.

Let me know if you can succeed, thanks
Cheers
