It's better to keep it in the thread so that others can get help too if they need it. smile

Hint: The rock can only be lifted by certain villagers. For more of a hint:

Your villager needs more than one skill. wink

Dixie,

What does the message area say when you drop your villager there? Are you sure you have found the right spot?

Because you haven't completed the puzzle!

Click to reveal..
Look over where the waterfall use to be, see the rock laying on the ground; you will need a peep to pick up the rock and place it. At that time you will get a pool and another stream.

It's not a bug. The debris builds back up constantly.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/24/10 08:30 PM

I put a master builder and master researcher on the rock and it still can't be moved. What am I missing?

*edited* nevermind. I think I need more coffee. smile

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/24/10 10:20 PM

It is good that it builds back up because this gives us a way to always be able to train new villagers to be builders.

In past games, the only thing to do if you wanted a new villager to attain build skill was repair huts. And it didn't really work. They'd walk around, or lounge around most of the time :P

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/25/10 04:06 PM

That means you need to make sure the villager

is an Adept Builder as well as Adept researcher
my female villager moved the keystone no problem.

Keep looking.

Try "flying" an adult over the area near the cliffs and keep an eye open for messages at the foot of your screen.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/26/10 04:06 PM

I have the same problem too.
Click to reveal..
Spent more than an hour to look for the rock but still no luck. The debris kept blocking the stream again and again. I put two villagers clearing the debris and fly one villager around everywhere of the waterfall. However, I can't see any special notes appear in the foot. Would you please give more hints?

Thanks!

I SO agree with you RoseRed!! I like my villages to last a long time, even if I've solved all of the puzzles (trophy page a BIG plus in VV4!) and trying to get peeps up to Master level in building was frustrating!

Yeah, it's a bit of a pain to have to keep removing debris, but I'd much rather have this than 5 villagers trying to repair the same hut! smile

You really have to think when playing this game: The debris is at 40%. The building is 95% done. Where do I use my villagers most effectively?

GREAT game!!

For the poster who is really having a hard time with this level, pm me.

I saw some people needed some help finding this elusive rock.

Click to reveal..
You know when debris completely block the stream, a little waterfall goes over the cliff and meets the ocean? Try flying your little villagers around there after clearing the debris. You should find it pretty quickly. wink


Hope that helped!

Thank you so much for your hint! I finally figure out where is the rock.

If you let the stream obstruction build back up, do you have to complete the other puzzles again??

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/28/10 08:49 PM

I am new to the game and the forum. The debris is cleared but what is the keystone? The waterfall stoped running.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 02/28/10 09:02 PM

Read the earlier posts in this thread. There are several about the keystone.

Ifound nothing about the keystone. I went through all the posts. Can you not just tell me?

I have tried taking a master builder and a master scientist to the rock and it keeps telling me that it requires calculations. Anyone know what I am missing?
Posted by: laurence

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 03/03/10 11:52 PM

An Adept is enough but he/she must be adept in the both skills: Scientist and Builder!! grin

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 03/12/10 03:47 PM

how can i do calculations? to move the rock?

Arnie, you could actually give a little more of a clue without giving everything away. You wrote, clearly enough:
Click to reveal..
Try "flying" an adult over the area near the cliffs and keep an eye open for messages at the foot of your screen.
Nevertheless, my problem was that I read that and translated it to
Click to reveal..
Fly over the cliffs.
That's not exactly what you wrote.

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 08/21/10 06:13 PM

Your villager has to be an adept in Building and Research(Adept Builder AND Adept Scientist).Its because it ''Requires Calculations'' and the stone is heavy though.lol

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 01/26/24 12:31 AM

I don’t know if this will post after so many years, but I can’t find it. I see all of the hints. The only thing I see similar to one of the hints is the area where the waterfall meets the tree. But not the ocean. Is it some place there??
Posted by: tekekat

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 01/26/24 03:03 PM

If I understand correctly, once the obstruction has been cleared the water will surround the tree. Head to where the waterfall USED to end and you will find the keystone. Drag a villager who is both an adept builder AND an adept scientist to the stone and they will plug the hole to the left of the tree thus restoring the normal flow of the stream. I hope this helped!

Re: Questions about Puzzle #2 (contains spoilers) - 01/27/24 01:59 AM

Hi YaelleG!
Click to reveal..
As long as the waterfall is present, your villager will not see or be able to pick up the keystone from the beach.

As soon as the stream up top has been 100% cleared of debris, the water will flow down the stream and around the tree, and the waterfall will disappear. That's when you need to drag your villager, who is adept in both Building and Research, down to the beach where the waterfall used to hit the sand (see attached image). Drop them on the v-shaped rock that should now visible (the keystone) and they should pick it up and take it to where it needs to go. smile
