Hello! I'm the 6th-8th grade math and science teacher at a small K-8 school in the Sierras. I recently moved to Oakhurst, California, about 30 minutes outside of Yosemite, with my wife and 16 month old son. Before that, I worked as a 5th grade teacher in San Jose. I love designing and playing video games and cooperative board games. My favorite parts of RPG making are writing and eventing. When I'm not doing that, I like to run, bike, and play volleyball. There is never enough volleyball.

Thanks for giving it a go. Looking forward to hearing what you think after spending some more time with it.

I'll try and recreate that error today. It must involve multiple specific steps when navigating the item menu for it to happen so sporadically. I will let you know what I find. Thanks. I don't think you have to worry about that crash hurting your computer.

@Seriously_Unserious - Thanks for playing Manifest and for the kind words. The first thing I was going to ask you, before reading the end of your post, was if you had hit the f12 key. Aside from that, I'm not sure why that game crash occurs for a few of the people who play the game, as it really is only a small percentage, and is tough to reproduce. It might have something to do with the decompression of the rar file on your computer...some little hiccup in the process...my best guess. Anyway, I hope it doesn't happen often, and that you soldier on. Happy gaming.

@longshot - Are those memos for future playthroughs? =)

err a bit of help if possible ran into 2 puzzles i'm unable to solve

1) the nayrin ruins with the snowballs, room has 5 snowballs 3 switches i've managed to land 2 switches but the third always fails

2) the last want board puzzle with the gibbering sailor and sanctified remains, any idea on how to get past the hexagram puzzle, it always gave me 1 piece off and if i've tried to fiz it the puzzle always gets ruined


I'll put my answers in a spoiler below...


1) When you enter that room there should be two switches and two snowballs all in the same column. If you push the lower of the two snowballs up, then left, and then down you'll most likely see the answer. If you need follow up help just let me know.

2) These puzzles are difficult to help with explicit strategy, but the basic one is to start with the tile opposite of wherever the missing tile is. In this case, since the upper left tile is empty, you should start by getting the very bottom right tile in place, and then move left across that row, getting the others into place in order. Then get the far right tile of the second from bottom row and move left, and so on. There will be times when you have to shift over whole rows or columns, but they will be able to go back in place once you get the hang of it.
Here is a diagram for the order you should work on it:
16 15 14 13
12 11 10 9
8 7 6 5
4 3 2 1



Good luck and happy gaming.

i've a question now that i'm in the capital and in your microsoft document says i'm able to trade the statues from quests for helmets but can't find the guy

his name was Barzun i think??

any idea where i'm able to find him??


There is a locked house just off the plaza on the east side of the city proper...not in old town. I believe there is an old woman sitting on a bench to the right of it. Good luck and please let me know whether you find it or not. Thanks.

Manifest

@Kushinhale - I've never heard of that happening before. Can you tell me the context of when it happened? And do you have a recent save point before it did?

@pafpearl - Thank you for the continued feedback, the compliments, and for playing Manifest through to the end. It means a great deal to me to hear you enjoyed it so much. Tell your friends =).

Thank you again! I have actually already fought that monster and beat it, I just didn't realize it was the one the diary referred to.

As to the other questions, now I can move on to Azriad! I'll keep you posted...


You might have already realized this, but just in case, if you find yourself running out of ore for smithing you can get it from the gargoyles.

In Eborill I read a diary that mentions a rock monster. Is there such a thing? I have been wandering the islands but so far nothing.

Also I can't find what will be Trux's ultimate weapon. I haven't yet made it to Azriad, so maybe no access to it yet? I'm trying to finish up what I can before I go.

One more-an island just northwest of Zairobia, in the cave it says the door is locked and Vellamik responds "....." I thought maybe he needed to be in the party to pick the lock, but no. I can't figure out what to do.

Sorry for all the questions, but I like to be thorough. I am having a great time with this game!

Hello again! Answers below...


The rock monster referred to is a gargoyle and they show up fairly often if you go to the island mentioned in that journal. I can't remember which direction it says from Eborill, but you'll find them if you spend a few minutes on the right island.

Your instinct is correct about the last two questions you had. Both will become available to you once you visit Azriad. You'll know when you come to a point where there is no turning back, but you won't have to worry about that before you find your answers.

Good luck. I love hearing back about your progress and I hope to hear back from you again soon.

Hi-great game! Any tips to kill Dalamaug? I am level 36 and can't kill even one of his agents.

Hello pafpearl. Thanks for playing Manifest. I'll put my advice in a spoiler below...
For that battle I would recommend using accessories that protect against fire/dark/lightning damage and/or protect against status effects that prevent you from acting. Since Focus isn't effective against them, I would recommend putting in your heavy hitters like Trux and Val. You'll most likely need Fidese for healing, and I might round it out with Efflora for element protection and to buff your melee fighters. Also, always focus on one of them at a time. Level 36 should be adequate, but if my advice doesn't work, as a last resort you could lower the difficulty for just that battle and then set it back.

Good luck and let me know how it goes.
