New quest: winter walk

I tried the new quest, but... I don't understand what the hell I am supposed to do with the icicles!
How do they drop? I tried waiting, jumping, looking aroud to see if there was any clue but nothing...
I finally ended up by using levitation to catch the quoins...

Am I totally stupid? Or did I miss something crucial? :/

  • Jump to hit the icicles on the trees. That'll make the larger ones drop to form platforms so that you can reach the quoins.

  • You have to hit the icicles on the trees near the larger icicles. They;ll start moving back and forth when you do, and then the larger ones will fall so you can navigate the area. Don't worry; it took me a little while to figure it out, too. :)

  • I find the icicles in the annex bit confusing, but since on a second visit there was only one mega-quoin, perhaps i won't be going in that bit again anyway

  • I thought it was very fun myself, in the part inside the portal (Was that the annex?) what you have to do is make the right icicles fall to make the right size platforms so you can jump up to get the 3 separate batches of quoins. The key to doing that is to have one small platform, one medium platform, and one short platform. It doesn't matter what order they are in other than that the tall one has to be under the quoins you are trying to get. The only thing I thought would improve this would be to include an arrow pointing at one of the icicles when it first tells you to hit them, because I was a bit confused as to where they were at first. Other than that, I enjoyed that this one actually took a bit of critical thinking, even if it was a very simple puzzle. I look forward to more quests like this.

  • I really like this wee mini-game ~love a good puzzle! (and I love that tune!!) =)

    I can't seem to find the 'Le Miserable' puzzle, did that one get taken away, or moved, or??

  • I can still get it, maybe you should report that, because I haven't had any problems. All I can think of is that it's only supposed to be playable a few times, because I played it for my second time today. But I don't remember reading anything like that, so it might be a bug.

  • I could get the icicles to drop without a problem.  However, using the Icicles as platforms did not get me close enough to the quoins to retrieve them...no matter how much I tried.  I finally had to use spinach to get the quoins.  It seems like I must have done something wrong.

  • Am I the only one who thinks the quoins inside these quest levels should be omitted from the quoin limit? I hadn't realized they weren't until just now, I actually thought it was a bug lol. Maybe they do that because the quoins in these areas tend to be worth a good bit more than ones outside those quests.

  • Thanks for help, I could get it :)
    Now I understand the interesting puzzle that it could have been... If you understand the "hit icicles on trees". I always play without sound, maybe there was a helping sound?

  • If it is a quest then I think the quoins within this quest should be omitted from the quoin limit too.

  • IIRC the quoins in this quest are qurazy, so don't apply to the quoin limit anyway.

    All the quoins can be got by using the platforms.  Some are harder than others and one of the platforms only becomes available after you've moved towards the end so it's easy to miss.

  • I saw the portal to the annex, so I figured I'd get the last few quoins in the first area and then jump into the portal... but getting the last few sent me back home instantly.  Bug or feature?

  • glum pudding, you probably touched the mist at the end that sends you back, I made the same mistake (Even though I already knew) the 2nd time I played through.

  •  nothing but summers day and shrinking one

  • I hadn't touched the mist -- I had just gotten the quoins on the platform -- but today I repeated the quest and standing on the platform didn't make me exit.  I had to jump well into the mist to leave, so I guess that has been fixed.  Yay!
