Welcome to the fifth installment of the beloved community puzzle game: Befuddle Quest 5: Zack to the Future Using a specific product, RPG Maker 2003, we will each make a single map puzzle using RTP OR your own supplied graphics (that mesh with RTP) and I will link them together in a quest. Why RM2k3? Because it's accessible to the majority of people and because it's pretty easy to link maps together using it. Plus, I'm running the show and that's what I use (because I'm old). Also, that's what we used last 4 times and it worked out okay.

For those of you new to the BQ scene, check out this game: Befuddle Quest, or this game: Befuddle Quest 2: Charmed & Dangerous! or this game: Befuddle Quest 3: Love is a Four-Legged Word or this game: Befuddle Quest 4 Dead

first you need to learn the sequence at the lone crystal below the 5 others, found by continuing towards the right rather than down the ladder.
second you need to push the stone down the maze so that you can reach the 5 crystals, and
third, you need to activate the crystals in the same sequence that you saw earlier

Yeah, I did all of that. Stepped on the lone crystal three times, never really paying attention. It was annoying to learn by the end of my error. I'm still trapesing through this.
If you mess up by hitting the wrong crystal, how do you "reset" the sequence? Sometimes I'd hit my head on the roof and land on the wrong crystal.

I eventually finished the level because I died in a lava pit and then did the 5 crystals without accidentally messing up. But other times I messed up, I tried again and correctly inputted the correct sequence, but the crystals didn't resonate.

30 GOLD AND A NECKLACE?! DASFDASFAFSAFASDFA GEEZ. Add some spikes beside the guy you have to platform away from too why don't cha?

EDIT: Now I can't leave until I collect 5 necklaces and 50 gold. What is going on here.
if you hit the wrong crystal at any time during the sequence, you simply start from the first pair again. The sequence of crystals stays the same as long as you don't lose all your lives, or restart the map.
Any of those will trigger an event which will set a new random sequence.
These are some great levels, but they're Hard!

Yay! changing variables saves the day.
What do these different switches even activate?
they all serve the same purpose. get a box on each of the 5 to open the door... or get 4 boxes on each of them, walk on the 5th yourself and gaze at the open door, before it closes once you leave the switch
Thanks! Now I need to figure out how to open the bottom right door...
I'll save you some trouble and tell you that you can't until you've passed the door in the room with the 5 switches

Kazesui, you're crazy. Just thought I'd tell ya.
Already had a feeling I might be, thanks for the confirmation.
I'd love to know which of the many things I did which lead you to that conclusion though

just beat this. It's really good if you overlook the few bugs.
Great work everyone!
For Time Warrior, remember that "until the 19th century, most mathematicians considered the number 1 a prime, the definition being just that a prime is divisible only by 1 and itself but not requiring a specific number of distinct divisors", and since Heronia has been locked in time for 700 years, this applies.
You know, I really expected a comment on the names Delores Anne and Dr. Brown by now.
Keep your pants on, I'm still getting to yours.

...but they are in the intro... :<
I'm stuck at the 5 switches part in the another portal puzzle.I can't get the last box.I got the one near the beginning(the next room after the one with that guy),the one in the room with the crystal(to the right of the switches room),the one in the room with the pillars(to the left of the switches room)and the one in the switches room.Where is the last????????? I searched for some time every room and nothing!!Help please!!!!!
Between the room with the first box (the one at the beginning), and the room above where you have to hit two levers and get within the door in time, On the passage between these rooms, you can shoot the portal gun to the left to find another room (possible to see if you go to the lower left corner of the room with the timed door).

From how I've understood you, this is probably the one you're missing
