From the world of bat - the answers to readers' letters on the game "Star Heritage".

        From the world of bat


"S": We welcome all our readers. In the mail log for the last 
few months have accumulated a huge amount of letters with 
questions about the game "Star Heritage". We have decided today 
to answer all at once. So, after all, how to pass the "Star 
Heritage"? 


   As many have allowed themselves are all simple puzzles, we 
consider only those for which we received the maximum number of 
questions. 



1. How to get the bracelet Arthur
King?


   Many are caught in a trap
using the blaster for opening
passage in a tunnel in the south-east of the island "O". Of 
course same as those who played in adventyurnye

games, knows that in games of this
genre has a weight of the subject of considerable importance. 
In "Star Heritage" in each subject, too has its own weight. And 
to move Heavy metal sheet to one side,

must put aside all the heavy items. Or even to throw everything 
you have. A blaster use only

Cut holes in the hatch vintoleta.



2. How to solve the password for the terminal in a cave?


   Here, many are stuck because of the
the fact that never found the key to
cipher, written down on a piece of
plastic and scrap paper. We
have already mentioned that the key to the cipher - a
a poem which is written
on the back of the painting in
Jameson's shop. To
read this poem one must first examine the picture, then
try to take it, and then
back view. After
in front of your eyes is the text
and figures cipher, map and all
Calculate your password. For those who
and it is difficult to announce - in a code
one of the numbers - the number of words
poem, and the second - the number of
letters in this word. As you can see -
everything is quite simple.

3. How to open a safe in the house Arbesa Veres?


   This is perhaps one of the most
difficult puzzles in the game.
Most of it is stuck on
Villa artangskogo spy. And some ask, how can
logically reach the clues are not
getting into the program code? Well
Well, let's to-order. You
a key that says "When
stay alone - the first and
second. "If you look closely at the phrase, which itself
on a fairly enigmatic, and
therefore must try to build on
thinking, then you need to check
very simple: first and second
letters of the phrase. First, we take
first - it turns out "COD" (letters
"N" and "c" are discarded, they are, and
this is obvious, is not involved).

   Take the second letter - obtained by OSA. We now have
two words "CON" and "Wasp". Plus
strange hint - when will stay alone. " At the airport in
advertising firm "Watchmen" could also read something related to
This theme - "when your house thoroughfare - in our safe did 
not climb a thief." Both phrases - and advertising and the 
inscription on the key found on sense. It is obvious that there 
is allusion to the fact that the door to the house

should be locked, otherwise safe
will not open. Lock the door.
Further, the most difficult - watch with changeable holograms. 
If attach an electronic key to the clock - they changed the 
picture. Experiment a little know that the clock is fine fit 
into the slot of the safe - it is obvious that they play here

key role.

   By the way, it hinted a
ads from the same firm "Watchmen"
- "... We are able to watch it!". Well, it remains only to 
understand what do you need to recruit at shifronabornike. 
After reviewing all of the hologram on the clock - we conclude 
that everything belongs to the fauna. A the word "CON" has 
nothing to do with it - hence the need to type the word 
shifronabornike "CON". Next. What image

put on the clock before
insert them in a safe? Obviously,
that the second word "OSA" refers to the fauna, but ... among
images on the clock is not a wasp!
What should I do? Many this zadachka
stumped. Of course, you could brute force to find the right 
option, although it pretty boring. A casket is

just opened!


   Indeed, among all the holograms
have an image of BEE. Well
OSA APIs and quite close to each
to a friend! Much closer than a spider, a whale or a snake. 
Expose APIs, we put the clock in the slot

safe, we collect your password and all!
Safes open!

4. How to pass the temporal area?


   Many people are now stuck it
in Tempore. Let's think
together. Even at the airport can be
to learn that the city is some kind of conference devoted to 
the work of the great mathematician, and PAINTER Grete Kahn 
which is terribly interested in problems and puzzles Tempora. He

all his works dedicated
this mysterious phenomenon.



   Consequently, it should be
It is clear that the picture Grete Kahn
home Arbesa Veres also devoted Tempore (not safe company
"Watchmen", as many think.
What a great artist is
inspired by the boring safe?
Especially because he lived this artist
long, and probably nothing
aware of the modern firm "Watchmen"). The conclusion is - the 
picture Grete Kahn - the key to success in Tempore. And the 
name there is not ambiguous - "The Gates of Tempora." If we 
carefully look at the picture, we note that very

so it resembles our compass interface. And what if
impose? Yes, and roman numerals have hinted that the 1 - NORTH 
2 EAST -, 3 - SOUTH, 4 - WEST. And in center - the number pi. 
Save game, reset our Speccy and

call from the ROM of pi.
Quick rewrite it and re-
ship game. So, we have
almost everything to learn
how to get Tempore. Consider
pi - 3.1415927. And now let us assume that this is the way
by Tempora. 3 - SOUTH, 1 - North, 4
- West, 1 - North, 5 - ...
Wait, no such direction, well, so we discard it! Next Nine - 
also discarded. Another move to the East (2)

looking through binoculars. That's it!
Our hero leaves this universe
and sent to other worlds.


   We hope that now matters
for the passage of "Star Heritage" is no more. Although, of 
course, we touched on only the most difficult puzzles in the 
game. More left outside the present

conversation.

And the game has moments that
some people might not notice. For example, a coin taken away 
from kloredov. Has anyone guessed where it was can still be 
used, except both at the airport and on the market? Well

so - on the question for backfilling,
in his spare time try to find the answer.


   And now an interview with a group of
"STEP", which is made in
Based on your letters. Hope
that we will answer many of your
questions.
