Altador Plot (58th) *READ THE FAQ*

[matchbow]

Okay, someone mentioned this a few threads back and it worked for me and quite a few other people so I thought I'd restate it. If you switch all of the things to on (+/up) in the left room and the main room and then just play with the ones in the last room it should/could work. Of course, they shouldn't all be switched on, that would cause a flood. Here was mine:

Left room: ++
Main: ++UP
Right: down,up,down

Note: I had flooded Altador once before getting this. I didn't try it before flooding, but someone did mention that you may have to flood Altador before your combination works.

I agree that doing this works. Althought what really should be done is this:
set the left and main rooms as shown above. then click randomly in the right room until it works, or it floods and you ahve to start again. i did that and it worked

I am up-to-date on everything before the protector.

When I go to the farm, and it says, "take note of what the farmer says", I get an old message.

EDIT: Nevermind, I hadn't clicked "continue" at the Minitheus!
EDIT 2: Thanks for your help Makuta_Neodude!

:x I am up-to-date on everything before the protector.

HOWEVER...
When I go to the farm, and it says, "take note of what the farmer says", I get the following message -
Farmer Follies eyes you as you approach. "Well howdy there," he says. "You're from the city, eh? I've got a ninth cousin there, works as a janitor, maybe you know him."

This doesn't seem right.
It doesn't let me into the plant, anyway! Help!

i think you have to go and try to get the amulet first. speaking of which, SNaK, you spelled it amulent an part of the walkthrough.

about the library...don't know if this was already posted, i haven't had time to read through the splits i missed.
in the url of the lib.,there are some cordinates:
http://www.neopets.com.....goarch=...nonsense....&arcx=2&arcy=2&cmhv=...nonsense...
"nonsense" is to stop thread-stretching.when you go east, the "arcx" goes up, west it goes down, and the same for north/south and the y cord. you can change them, to, say, 100000000000000 and 2000, and then going east gives you 100000000000001 and 2000. just thought i should through that out there. still, the cordinates are probably just so they know where the edges are. i don't think there are east or north edges, or there would be a limit on how high you could go. the "nonsense" of numbers and letters is the key to whatever we're going to find, i think. bad news: it's UNBREAKABLE!
EDIT: the link wasn't supposed to be clickable. fixed.
EDIT2:oops. SNaK, please fix my double post. i didn't mean to!

Yay!!! I got it! My best advice is to just CLICK randomly. WATCH the water. And just CLICK. So click, watch and click. It'll work sooner or later.

do we have to randomly click all the switches in all three rooms?

I would imagine, yes. It would be quite a stroke of luck if you didn't need to switch something in all three rooms.

And if your question is specifically about the randomness, we still don't have an idea how it works. Although it seems flooding Altador, then flipping one or two afterwards seems to have helped a good bunch of people.

*shrug* Coverin' all my bases.

It is definately NOT always necessary to click something in EVERY room.
I posted before about what worked for me and I only moved things in TWO of the rooms. I went in the first center room, clicked some stuff and the water moved from one tank to the other. Then I went into the room to the right and flipped the switches there and it worked. It took 30 seconds and I never even went into the room on the left. Hope this clears things up a tiny bit or is helpful to someone.

ummmmmm...my Torakor statue isn't showing up, the picture's messed up. it says that it "contains errors". probably a server error, but i DID get Torakor for my oil&rags statue....

has anyone noticed that this amulet; http://www.neopets.com/water/statue.phtml
looks a suspiscious lot like the one the monster was guarding in Altador...

Yes, it is like the one the minitheus was guarding. The darkest faerie was turned into stone by jerdana using her orb. I think it's in the darkest faerie ps2 game

Just wanted to point out that although a lot of people have had solutions with the left and middle rooms all on (including me) there have been solutions posted where this was not true. Definately try this but don't bet your sanity on it.

maybe we should put that in the wtfaq too, the statue has been mentioned, the aisha's, the refreshing to open the door to the plant, the wild calculations about when the next clue will be out...

Either way, my idea on the water plant is (as also stated 3589 times before) random clicking. No need to flood, and not everybody has to click something in all three rooms. I don't know about any combinations since I solved this clue mostly on my own, but many thanks to the ppt'ers with the eventual walkthrough. Either way, this clue was probably just my lucky clue or something.

Just to go back to this

Carry Over from the last split:
Shadow_Twisted's magic number:

692411751038112

I have left the origins of my method to arriving to this delightfully tormenting number as a brain teaser. I believe, since the library is seemingly endless, that this may be used in the coordinates. A breakdown of the number may need to take place or it may not be used at all, the important thing is is that I have come up with my own wonderfully twisted idea for the next clue. Still waiting for someone to answer the ever important question:

Where did this number come from?


*laughs maniacally at his cruel twisted brain teaser, hoping it will come to annoy people MORE than the water puzzle*

Well, after having looked at it for a good five seconds, I think that it may just be the order that the heroes were found in, referring to their order in the Hall of Heroes (6, 9, 2, 4, 11, 7, 5, 10, 3, 8, 1, 12) (although the 12 is a bit premature, I'll forgive you).

[tinikidi]

I fixed the sewers by clicking aimlessly. XD Okay, well, not aimlessly, just in no particular pattern. Anyway, I got it in less than a minute. I was pretty surprised and happy, needless to say. Heh.

Except now I can't flood Altador anymore!!

Good guess after five seconds!! I've no idea yet how you got the number shadow, but it'd be cool if you're right. I've been roaming the library endlessly, but nothing has come of it yet.

Is anyone still able to get into the closet where you found the meepits? I failed to write down how I got there the first time and haven't been able to reenter it thus far.

Someone posted that they found it but it only had a broom I believe they said.

Just for giggles these are all the winning combinations that have been posted:

++|++u|udu
x+|++d|ddu
+x|+xd|uud
++|++u|ddd
xx|++d|ddd
++|++u|dud
xx|xxd|duu
++|x+u|udd
x+|++d|udd
x+|+xd|ddu
++|xxd|ddu
++|xxd|uuu
++|++u|ddu
++|x+u|uuu
++|++u|udd

+ is open valve, x is closed valve, u is switch up, d is switch down.

Plus these are proofs that it is not the combination but the path.

ainynn: I've been fixing a few of your quotes for you, could you check in your profile to make sure that the "Always allow HTML/BBCode" are on. I don't know if that's the reason why but check it out.

thanks for the alert...it is weird coz i did not alter anything under my profile and i discovered that "Always allow HTML" function was switched to no...hmmm...

somebody told me that some kind of bug, did that...
i had the same problem...


Lunarmonger: i tried to find my room too... because i wrote it down too (how to find mine)... but i havent been able....
