I bought this game and have 2 tribes going experimenting with different ways of doing things. I have read the guide through and can't find an answer to this nor have I seen anything much on it here in the forums. In my first tribe we healed the sick one and dismantled the knowing totem. This increased the number of guards and scary heathens at the hungry totem and wood pile making it next to impossible to get too and making it difficult to collect mushrooms and collectibles from the right side of the screen. Love shack and nothing else even started to build if my villagers make it to the wood and pick up a piece they drop it when they are chased off. So this tribe is stuck. In my 2nd tribe they healed the sick one and dismantled the hungry totem giving access to the fruit tree and getting rid of all the heathens except the 2 guards at the woodpile. By constantly distracting them I managed to get the love shack built but that builds quickly. However, the other huts build more slowly and I can't keep the guards away long enough to make any progress on anything else. Is there anyway to get rid of the 2 guards for good so things can go more quickly. I exhaust my limited god powers quickly trying to keep them distracted and can only manage to snag one or 2 pieces of wood and while distracting them it is difficult to hunt for mushrooms and collectibles. Is there something I have missed...anyone find a way to get rid of them...help please I am getting very frustrated and am beginning to feel very stupid.

Look on page 41 of the game guide.

Would anyone mind telling me the answer? It might be awhile before I'm able to check the game guide and I'm tired of waiting haha

This is Arthur's tip that I referred to:

What statue is that referring to?
My problem is that the heathen guards come to my building sites
and scare my villagers away. I'm building the love shack where the materials were originally placed. I haven't moved it but the heathen guards come to the site and scare the villagers away.

Oh and how do I get the kid out of the hollow totem? She seems stuck in there.

This is where I placed my love shack; and at the bottom of the pic you will see the statue Arthur's referring to also, but at the start of the game the hand would look like a ball.


Just click and drag her out at the bottom of the totem.

I must admit that I cracked up when I saw her eyes peeking out of the holes in the totem. That was hilarious. lol.

So do you have to collect all the relics in order to build the statue? That could take a while.

No, you don't have to collect all the relics to build the statue, you don't have to get anything to start the statue, but if you want to finish it into a masterpiece you have to have That's what could take awhile.

Thanks. I don't think I have any levels of anything.
This is my first vv game. So I'm sort of lost. lol.

ahhhh now i get the statue thing well i do collect all the relics sinces i have not any leverl of anything as i just started out. i did manage to build the loveshack and home near the hungry totem.
