I've had the first 10 of the 12 puzzles figured out, having everything researched and am wearing out my stylus dragging people around the island... can someone give me a tip to enable the last two puzzles?

Thanks!

One of them is really not under your direct control (and just requires patience once the 9th puzzle is complete). The other one is more of an 'Easter egg' with certain prerequisites - it's a very difficult one to find/solve. I know that's pretty obscure, but I don't want to get more specific in the forum!

I have 11 of 12 puzzles. So I'm clear on whether I should look or not, is the 11th one the easter egg? It seems to be.

The 12th puzzle (the last box on the lower right of the puzzle screen) is the easter egg.

Please can someone give me a hint for the last puzzle - I'm fully researched, the villagers are very well fed, but I've been trying to find it for so long that none of the villagers have any skills left, so I'm guessing that'll just make it harder. Just a little hint - pleeeeeeeeeeeeease

Unfortunately, it's probably impossible for you to do the last puzzle now

It's something that you really have to plan for from the start of the game - particularly as the skill required is not only the hardest to master, but the one that has least opportunities of mastering. I literally had to allow no more than four villagers to master this skill, otherwise the others would have "used up" their training chances.

And you also need to make sure that you get someone young trained up in it - otherwise by the time you have all the tech advances, your masters might be dying off.

....isn't this why it is being referred to as an easter egg now?

I'm speaking as a player who had quite a few go's before I managed to get this last puzzle

There were a couple of reports of that during the beta test, but we couldn't recreate it. Can you describe the circumstances that made the Golden Child disappear?

I was dragging her around the island to try various things: the boulder, the idol. After I dragged her near the idol, I couldn't find her again. Not on the island, not in the details menu.

I'm pretty sure that the GC will not be replaced - he/she is supposed to be 'invincible' and, thus, permanent. I'm beginning think that this is a nasty bug, and is worth another look.

Ok, I must be an idiot. I have all techs researched, and have for the last 48 hours. I'm missing the last 3 puzzles. I keep reading about this "Golden Child", and I'm embarassed to say that I don't have one. I imagine I've messed something up and will need to start over (yikes). Could someone please throw me a lifeline on how to get the GC? I would appreciate it muchly.

Have you tried to make any babies lately? If it says that there's not enough housing, then you'll have to wait for some of your villagers to die (to make room for another birth). Ah, the harsh realities of life on a remote island!

Were you dragging the Golden Child at the time, or was he/she walking around and then vanished? Previous reports seem to indicate that the Golden Child disappears after being dragged or dropped.

Thanks! That seems to be the situation in the few reports that we've had on the Golden Child disappearing. I've tried and tried to make it happen, but haven't been able to make the little one vanish. If anyone can provide more clues to this bug, it would be very helpful!

It sounded more like building to me, as after a while they can't build no matter what you do, as all the building is completed.

While I don't want to spoil anyone's fun, can someone PM me to let me know if I'm on the right track?

Ugh, I think the building skill is the required one, too. I have the last two puzzles left to solve and my villagers haven't moved the boulder. I'm assuming that moving the boulder is one of the remaining puzzles. I have a few people who have OK construction skills (middle of the road) but that's it. I have 65 villagers and the golden child no other way to get someone skilled on construction. Can someone tell me if I just need to start over?

There is, unfortunately (for now), no way to improve construction skill once all of the construction projects are completed. You'll be able to solve all but the 12th puzzle in your current situation. I wouldn't start over just for that puzzle - I'd save it for my next game. You'll have to play many games to see all of the island events, anyway.

The 12th puzzle is more of an easter egg, and requires considerable work on your part (along with certain prerequisites). I don't know of anyone (besides the development team) that's figured it out without help.

The tenth puzzle is the special villager that seems to be eluding many people!

Thank you for the quick response, Ladycfii.

Can you tell me - it now appears I could figure out that 11th puzzle - is that one the boulder or is the boulder the 12th puzzle?

Basically, can I still do something at all with the boulder? Now my people are just sort of dying off.

Thank you,

The 11th puzzle will be the boulder. The 12th puzzle is the special "easter egg". You should be able to solve the 11th puzzle no matter what you've done in the game. The 12th puzzle requires advance planning and may become unsolvable for many people.

Tibby, you should have everything you need for all but the 12th puzzle. You can't directly do anything with the boulder - it's up to that special little villager. Patience is the only thing that will help for that puzzle.

Ok, so does the builder have to be an expert or just a highly talented builder?

Okay, I've had the little golden child for 2 solid days now, playing the game in Fast mode. I still have some folks who are masters in each category. I have the first 10 puzzles finished up, and am waiting for the little guy to do his trick with puzzle 11 (if he ever decides to do anything useful. . .) Is there any way I will be able to get puzzle 12 done with the current population I have? Or anything I can do to help further along either of the last 2 puzzles. I know that people probably don't want spoilers posted in the forums, so I will gladly take a PM if someone in the know would be so kind.

Thanks for all your help, and thanks to LDW for another extremely addictive game. . .

To get the last puzzel you need to have a villager with a certin skilled mastered, then you need to hunt for the location to unlock it. If you don't have that certian villager, well you are out of luck and will have to start over. Unless there is an Island event to give one of your villagers the necessary skill, but I have not heard of such of an event.

You can solve the 12th puzzle before the 11th, if you have the necessary prerequisites. The 12th puzzle doesn't involve the GC.

I have at least 5 masters in each category, and I have 2 villagers who are masters of more than one category. I guess I will have to keep hunting. . . I am trying to keep folks around the boulder and the cactus, as they seem to still hold quite a bit of interest in the idle villagers.

I've played many, many games and never had anyone disappear, but you don't need to 'bother' the GC in order to complete the next puzzle. Arthur is still working on the vanishing villagers bug.

Wait a sec, when you have a villager clean the beach after a storm, I believe that s/he gains construction skills, right?

Also, I currently have two master builders left (67 & 75) and only the 12th puzzle left. So, since I don't have a lot of time left to find the last one, I want to make it count; though I don't want anyone to just hand over the solution. That being said, do I have to do something with my masters or do they have to do something themselves?
Thanks,

It's all up to you (thus the easter egg designation). Once you're onto it, your villager(s) will take over.

Yes villagers learn gain construction skills from the debris

Your masters need to go exploring....and it works better if you just watch them explore, rather than lead them around

If you have followed the threads on backing up a game, I would almost suggest you do so, so you don't kick yourself if your builders die unexpectedly

As vague as that is, that does give me a couple of ideas.

Also, is it really suppose to be a builder? Because now that I think about it, I've never actually had a master parent. Are they good for anything?

Oh, and thanks for the reminder. I had almost forgotten; I will definately save now.

Thanks for the speedy repies,

Well, that didn't help. Now I'm even MORE unsure.

Okay, I think that I am just going to pause it until I have a sizable list of possibilities->try them->start again.
Thanks for not spoiling it for me at least.

Give us a quick summary on how many villagers you have, and their current levels. If you are able to do still solve this puzzle, I am happy to send you a private message with more clues....however, I think you need to register on the forum to have access to these

Okay, I'm totally stumped. I have every puzzle solved BUT 11. I have maxed out population, all tech levels researched, a golden child scampering about, and nothing's happened for at least a day.

I think I am correct in saying that puzzle 11 is the boulder. If so, sorry, there is nothing you can do to hurry it along. The person responsible for this will move it when they are ready to do so. I have heard others saying that it has taken about 2 days for this puzzle to be solved, so just make sure that your village is chugging along, and watch them!!

It has been 7 days for me since puzzle 10 was solved and puzzle 11 is still unsolved. Sometimes it takes a very long time.

I have all puzzles solved but the last one, tech levels maxed out, 48 villagers including a 55-year-old Master Builder who I have dragged all over the island. Can I solve the last puzzle? If so, can someone PM me a hint or two. I am mystified, edging toward frustrated. Thanks!

Do they have to be maxed out with building or just have the title master? and do you have to have all the other building puzzles solved first? Because mine is still working on my mystical rock and she won't work on the final puzzle. But she is just a tiny bit away from the maxed out of building. Which one is the problem?

You'll have to be able to make new baby villagers in order to complete puzzle #10. So, it looks like you'll have to wait for a few of your older villagers to die! You could, however, solve puzzle #12 before the other two, if you have the right kind of villager!

Alright, my impacience has gotten the better of me, but instead of someone just giving it to me, I have a very vague question (I'm stubborn too)

All that I would like to know is:
Is the key a specific action or a certain combination?

I'd really appriciate it if someone could please PM me with the answer. Thanks for all of your help and for not giving it away. It has really kept me in suspense the last couple of days.

You'll need higher levels of technology in other areas for most of the puzzles. Your primary goal right now is to keep your villagers healthy and working on food and research. Children will start to work at age 14, and you should train them as soon as you can. When a villager turns 18, they can start 'dating' other villagers!

The best thing to do is, as you research each new level of technology, drag villagers with various skills around the island to see if they find anything new!

I would suggest adding this feature: that research above a certain level after all techs are at level 3 could be bought to give villager of your choice a boost in a skill area.

Also - does repairing huts add to skill level in Building?

Fixing huts does not improve building skill. There are plans to include a permanent place to train builders in the bug fix/update release of Village Sim.

Since my population has long reached 65, it seems to be an impossibly long wait for someone to die and make room for newborns, and hopefully the GC.
Wish there is a KILL button somewhere.

They should just change fixing huts to a builder improving action. That'd solve it! Or after you're done with research maybe the builders could use it for a work bench

The 12th puzzle is mostly an easter egg. It requires a villagers with certain skills, a certain tech level, and some hunting!

Ok...I think I'm ready for the PM too. I've read all the hints...I have all skills maxed researched, and I've watched (highlighted and just watched!) my master level builder for over 45 min's... nothing, or nothing out of the ordinary. <sigh> PM me with the spoiler on this. Ohh..I have 1 - 9 of the puzzles. Waiting for villagers to die off (I have 65) so I can get a GC, then let him/her do the 11th.

Puzzle #10 involves the birth of a special villager. It requires a certain tech level and the ability to make more babies (in other words, your village cannot be at the maximum population).

You should be able to solve 10 and 11 (as soon as you're able to make some more babies). Unfortunately, it's not likely that you'll be able to develop a master builder at this point in the game, so 12 will most likely have to wait until your next game!

There isn't a way in Village Sim to have two games running at the same time. But, if you don't mind juggling savegame files, you could accomplish something close to that. You can use a file manager on your Palm device or PC to back up two (or more) savegame files and keep switching between them.

Oh, and by the way, I am now at 432 hours playing the game. Puzzle #10 was solved at 133 hours and puzzle #11 still hasn't been finished yet. That's 300 hours (i.e., two solid weeks) of waiting.

And I haven't been speeding up the clock at all.

At this point, I haven't forced anyone to breed or farm in the game for a week. People are just dying off from old age. I'm sort of interested in what happens when the GC is the only one alive.

Wow, Flash! I'm sure you hold the record now! I think it would be good if there was some sort of test in the game so that the GC was REQUIRED to do his 'thing' within a certain timeframe (MUCH, MUCH shorter than 300 hours)!

Let me clarify. I found the place that when you drop him you get a question on the bottom of the screen, but nothing happens no matter how many times I drop him there. Does he need expertise in other fields besides building?

Hi,

I think I am going to need help for the 12th puzzle as well. This is my second game, I got all the puzzles but number 12 in the last game... I started a new game when I realized I'd need a master builder. I am at the end stage of this game and waiting for the GC to make his appearance again but have not been able to figure out puzzle 12 even with all the hints posted. I have 3 master builders, and I have been watching Bobo (my favorite builder) for two days.... I have tried dropping him in places, tried dropping him and the other masters in places.... nothing. Any help at this point would be greatly appreciated... and will save me from pulling out any more of my hair!

Thanks,
Karen

I'll send a hint to make sure that you are planning early for the 12th puzzle!

> Wow, Flash! I'm sure you hold the record now!

I'm at 450 hours now.

Well, keep in mind that I am playing on a Sony NZ-90 and the "always on in cradle" option never seems to work properly with any of the LDW games, so after two minutes, Village Sim shuts off.

It's generally not worth the effort to turn the game back on every two minutes, so I leave it off and turn it back on when I think about it, which may be six or so hours later.

So, I only play the game in short spurts of maybe ten minutes every six hours. This may be different than the way everyone else plays and may contribute to puzzle #11 never getting solved.

It's a valid concern, since no matter what style a person plays, the puzzles should be solvable within a reasonable amount of time.

I agree! I'm still in favor of putting in some kind of time limit on how long that little kid can play before he/she gets down to business!

Your problem with the 'on in the cradle' reminds me that I'm glad that I gave my Clie to my son!

You know, with all these people begging for hints for puzzle #12, perhaps it's time to consider a different approach to puzzle #12.

It should not be included in the puzzles screen at all, if it is, indeed, just an easter egg. Or, if it is to remain as a puzzle, the solution needs to be a little more obvious or maybe there should be major hints in the game.

As far as I can tell, not a single person has found and solved puzzle 12 without someone giving them a big hint or specifically telling them how to solve it.

Hi Everyone,

Me scanning this forum for clues to Puzzle #12 from work in Singapore!

Can someone send me a hint please? I managed to solve everything rather fast and the GC was really nice - he opened up the cave after like 2 tries...but I'm now stuck on #12.

Thanks a heap!

Ok, I'll answer for Flast. Yes. Maybe there should be a sticky on this so you all don't have to PM all the time and to save this looon thread.

I liked a suggestion made by another, maybe there should be some better hints in the game, like, "I would like to work here, but I need to be a master *&((*&. Or during the introduction of the game when it starts statine something like, to get the last puzzle you will need to have a master.

Well, what we really need is a thread called "This is how to solve Puzzle 12. Don't read until you want to be told how to do it."

Then, message 1 has a few hint, message 2 has some specific hints, and then message 3 tells you step-by-step how to do it.

Maybe not something so blatent, but a hint would have been a little simpler. Perhaps some sort of an unusual indicator where the 12th puzzle is that makes it obvious that you would need a builder-like for the creek, you knew that you would need a builder to clear the rocks (well, they became a builder). I don't want to say my suggestion outright because it would probably give it away, but hopefully this is enough.


>As far as I can tell, not a single person has found and solved puzzle 12 without someone giving them a big hint or specifically telling them how to solve it.

Well, although the "master builder" hint was a big one in my book as it would have taken me a lot longer to find the 12th puzzle, that was about for me. Barbara did send me a few PM's of encouragement, but she wouldn't let me give up on finding it on my own (as much as possible). I mean, I could post all of her PMs here and they wouldn't give anything more away (Thanks again for that Barbara). The rest was just coming up with a bunch of ideas through logic and trying them out (I also found a few things that could be better used). Although, now that I've found it, my builders can't seem to finish the task. Even after the 10 years or so left for them (where I saved it), they can't seem to finish the job. Oh well, just gotta keep at it.

Keep at it, they will get it done. It took five builder about 2-3 hours to get the job done, but they will.

I can now say, I've completed all 12 puzzels. Yahoooooo! Now what to do???

Start a new game and have a race with yourself to see how fast you can get to the max number of villagers and solve all the puzzles!!

How about anyone that wants a hint just send tigger4will or ladycfii a PM asking for it instead of adding page after page of
"Could someone please help with #12?"
"PM sent..."
"Thanks!".
I mean, I'm not against helping others, but I bet that around 2/3 of the currently 18 (Edit: oops, now 19) pages in this thread are the above. It's kind of crowding out the useful information for anyone that wants to try it on their own.
Any thoughts?

I'm sending wpchan a private message with hints on those puzzles.

I'm also locking this thread, to keep it from growing any more. Please see the thread "if you need a hint for the last three puzzles..." for instructions on how to get hints.
