THE TOWER II IS OUT!

Go play it now.

 

-----------Spoiler Warning---------

Walkthrough:

The Tower II Walkthrough

 

Before I get started, you should read the encyclopaedia of Serennia thoroughly because it will help you better understand what is going on.  Also there will be no giving away of passwords here.

 

Chapter One (Password)

 

Input your password.  Then click on Intro to Serennia. The password is 15 characters. There is also a hidden 15-character password that you can find upon beating the game.

 

Chapter Two (Introduction to Serennia)

 

Walk to the window, unsheathe the sword and run like your life depends on it – cuz it does. Once it begins to catch up to you submit to it.  Use the curious strategy for the first three answers (I know its tempting to use the sarcastic ones). Next is logical, then blunt. Then accept your task. Be good until you get to the navigation screen and if you read the maps of Serennia you would know which country is where.

 

Chapter Three (Amershire)

 

You can do chapters 3-9 in any order (If you have enough time) but I chose them in a certain order to maximise efficiency.  Also this walkthrough does not include the side quests.  In fact you might not even have time to do ALL the side quests.  So when your given the option to stay or leave the walkthrough assumes you are leaving but to get the best out of this game you should actually check out the land.

 

Go straight to the portal. When you get into the air start by ducking down, then deke right. Once that’s done deke left. Finally apply a ball fake. Then put it in the net.  When you see your wife (also young) kiss her.  Now to really maximise the game like I mentioned you should stay in each country (besides Kairex) and do the bonus quests but for the purpose of the walkthrough leave.

 

Chapter Four (Diamondera)

 

Head slightly south to Diamondera. Answer the three questions correctly.  4, 1 and 2 are the correct answers. Then head right on out. (Well you should stay but that’s not the point)

 

Chapter five (Kairex)

 

Head west to Kairex.  Kairex is the only chapter with no side quest.  Head straight to the portal and get ready to do battle as a general. Start by rallying into a defensive position, then counterattack for the easiest way to win the battle.  Now leave that foul land.

 

Chapter Six (Trinostia)

 

Head south and west. Next you should straight to the portal. This can actually be quite a difficult battle but on the other hand its also easily won.  Charge back at the thing then let go and kick for the very easy way past it.

 

Chapter Seven (Kindaria)

 

Head far North then straight to the portal. The answer to the riddle is green, look at the first letter of every sentence. Head north to Bogdom 

 

Chapter Eight (Bogdom)

 

This is by far the simplest chapter.  Head in, straight to the portal and eat the rock.

 

Chapter Nine (Sarnet)

 

Head in the only direction it gives you, once in Sarnet the answer is 2-1-3.  It’s Near the bottom.

 

Conclusion

 

This game is a lot longer with side-quests and without the path I laid out for you, you would have a much tougher time fitting it all in.  Think of this as the hobbit in comparison to LOTR.  More will come.  The next one is called Founder.  It will be my finest work yet.

 

 

 

Thanks for reading.

It's out!!! I'll try not to look at the walkthrough you've posted though, unless I get really stuck! I think I'll play The Tower 1 again first, to remind myself of it, and get a password.

I like it! Some good humor in parts, and I liked being able to choose what sort of 'style' of conversation when talking. I guess my only complaint was that when I didn't succeed in the main quest, the only option was to reset the game, there was no"'finish the game and leave comments" option. I did pretty good though, just had one last portal - so I'll play it again and try to win :)

Sorry I couldn't help so much on the later parts, JJJ.  I really didn't mean to abandon you.  Still, I don't think any of my sidequests are as good or as complete as they could have been.  Some of them are kind of derivative as well, particularly Diamondera (inspired by C.S. Lewis' Space Trilogy) and the sidequest in... Trinostia, I think, with the cult following of Langdon from the first "Tower".  Their entire philosophy originates (although it has been highly simplified for the sake of the story) from Gnostic views of Judas Iscariot--I almost didn't include that part what with the "Gospel" of Judas discovery still fresh in everyone's minds. 

But on the whole, I think the story really fulfills its purpose of, you know, introducing all of JJJ's loyal readers to Serennia and of course giving good ol' Glaile a hero's farewell.  I probably won't ever rate it, and I'll wait to give a comment until I've lost some of my bias.  It wouldn't be fair for me to give an opinion on a story whose writing process I still remember so well.  (I know that probably sounds hypocritical after I just said that it fulfills its purpose, et cetera, but...)
