Well, I FINALLY found the last yellow gem on Skull, Volcano, and Beetle - they were in "plain" view as grains of sand in the transition from sand to whatever. The bone was stuck in a crevice and looked like a light colored rock not a bone. I only got these by constantly clicking everywhere on the screen. So much for the note I read somewhere that said if you "over click" you'll get penalties. WRONG! Oh, I also had to find 2 white gems on Cradle of the North, both of which were sitting in "plain" view on the very edge of the rough escrapment craggy ground if that is a description. I also cheated on a couple using the videos, but after awhile it got be a "you won't get me" attitude and I HAD TO FIND THEM MYSELF. Now if that isn't obssessive/complusive I don't what is!
And for the record the videos on You Tube are not all correct or they have moved some of the gems just in case somebody actually reads this. I know because I went to every place that the video went, side-by-side screens, and there were NO GEMS in some places they said there were, but I did find gems in places that video didn't show!
So cheating really doesn't pay, but hints do. I would just like to know simple things like "switch the black and white balls from one side to the other" or "turn on only blue lights" or something like that so you don't waste hours figuring out what you are supposed to be trying to do. That is not cheating. It is making a statement of intent.
I still would prefer to have some kind of point system with penalties for not completing something like the non-essential items. I guess some would say that finding the gems are essential because they make up the Rainbow Road, but can't a road still be walked with pot holes here and there? You just have to take longer to get around the the holes or something? Ideas folks? Opinions?
I'm still trying to figure out what goes in that last spot on the upper left in my treasure chest. Of course, I destoryed the totems which is good, but I don't like the holes. I think the totem slots should gleam some color or connect to the Tear of Heaven or something not just left blank like you didn't finish something.
All, in all I have really enjoyed this game. I have just reached Guardian Moon so I'm off to find the end of the Rainbow Road.
Oh, the end of Comet Crash site scenario was absolutely the best! :D
I wish more people would use this site to chat!
