Strange Odyssey - missing section in solution

#1 Post by Hopalong » Sat Aug 15, 2020 11:29 pm

Hi guys
Just completed Strange Odyssey after following the solution for it.
However, on the ice planet where the storm is, there is a missing section..

Aha! Now you know what the pick is for! Pick mound (really!), which will bring you inside to where the hound is, as well as a treasure. Shoot hound.

Get diamond. Set phaser – to destroy. Shoot mound. E. Go curtain. Remove suit. Drop pick. Drop phaser.

Pick up all 5 treasures. Pull the rod, touch the plastic, push the rod, and touch the plastic again. Wear the suit and go through the curtain.

The boldened section is missing for how to get out of the mound.
Don't know how to update the solution so put it here.

Strangely, the copy on the Tipshop of the CASA solution has suitable additional instructions that are missing from our archived version...

(scroll to the bottom)

We seem to have lost these at some point? (Or one of Gerard's users has corrected it)

I've added the "corrected" section from the Tipshop's version of the solution to our one. Thanks for pointing out the issue.

Thanks Strident.
Yes it was the version here on CASA.
I was running through it yesterday and couldn't figure out how to get out of the mound.
I'd also recommend saving frequently, at least end of each section, as the hound can kill you, not to mention going through the curtain!

It was similar with The Count. I had to save regular because of the random elements in it.
By the way, I'm mostly using the z5 inform interpreter. I have so many to get through!
