Well damn, look at that. Didn't know they could all be picked up lol. Thanks for taking the time to help!
wilhitewarrior 8 Nov 2019 06:42
No problem :)
TuxedoMarty 26 Feb 2020 13:03
How do I get the "Final Frontier", Fireproof and "Don't Feed The Trolls" achievements?
ReeseKaine 24 Aug 2020 08:41
Jus Cuz puzzles me a tad. How many objects are there that can be set on fire?
wilhitewarrior 24 Aug 2020 08:55
There are 7
ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 02:55
Proceeding normally, how many objects would I be setting on fire?
ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 02:57
Has the torch timer ever truly been explained? I'm trying to figure out how to route the game and do Lord Jair.
wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 03:04
There are 7 flammable objects on the game, the achievement requires all 7. As for the torch timer, it works like this: Each torch will give you 60 actions. Each and every time you do anything, your torch timer will decrease by 1.
wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 03:05
Lord Jair isn't all that difficult really, it's just a matter of knowing what you need and what you don't
ReeseKaine 29 Aug 2020 22:04
I'm guessing every "miss" counts as an action? There have been times when I try to pick up a torch or a key, or the scepter and I happen to be off-center.
wilhitewarrior 29 Aug 2020 22:41
Actually no, "You can't take it!" will not subtract from your torch strength
ReeseKaine 30 Aug 2020 00:33
One last question on actions: Looking and moving between rooms: Do those count?
wilhitewarrior 30 Aug 2020 00:34
Yes those do
Olafur 31 Aug 2020 21:55
Man I have no idea what I'm supposed to do about this ghost of Sam Kinison one. I've looked at a few videos, but have absolutely no idea, damn XD
wilhitewarrior 16 Sep 2020 16:10
lol the ghost of sam kinison one is to release the banshee in the crypt room
ReeseKaine 16 Sep 2020 16:29
A great deal of the chevos can be acquired thru simple curiosity.
Olafur 10 Jan 2021 10:07
finally came back to finish this, no idea why i waited this long.
