What is Relentless?
"Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure" is an adventure/action game created by
Adeline Software (who released it under the name Little Big Adventure, or
L.B.A.-- click here ) and published in the U.S.A. (at least) by Electronic Arts.
The game uses a 3/4 view top-down 3D perspective in which you control Twinsen,
the central character in the plot. The graphics are excellently drawn SVGA with
bright colors and a lot of attention to detail, especially in the movements of
the characters. You'll laugh when Twinsen finds something and waves his arms
excitedly, and when he tiptoes exaggeratedly past a guard.
The plot is set on a fantasy world: there are four different "races" of
character: Twinsen is a Quetch, the most human-looking race. Also abounding are
Grobos, which look like pudgy little elephants, Rabibunnies, which look like
tall skinny rabbits, and Spheros, which look like round balls with skinny legs
and hop around. The bad guys consist of Quetch nurses and scientists, clones of
Grobos (groboclones) and Rabibunnies (rabiclones), Supergros (grobos with
special sleep pellet guns) and green guards of indeterminate race. And of
course a monster or two and Dr. FunFrock himself :)
In the plot you are Twinsen, currently imprisoned by the tyrannical Dr.
FunFrock for having dreams of the goddess Sendell (whose name and image Dr.
FunFrock has forbidden) and a prophecy of a great disaster. Dr. FunFrock
controls the globe with an iron fist and keeps order through the ability to
clone guards and to teleport them anywhere an alarm is raised.
The characters are semi-cartoonish and should appeal to younger kids, but this
is not simply a children's game: some scenes are a little sinister and the
puzzles are for all ages. There is no concept of "sleep" or "hunger" so you
don't need to worry about searching for food or a bed.
The game is rated G (for Great! :): no nudity or strong language. What violence
there is is cartoonish; when enemies are hit they fall down or bounce backwards
with stars above their head, and when"killed" they simply disappear in a
pop--no blood or bodies. When Twinsen is killed he falls down as if unconscious.
The controls are very simple: no mouse or joystick is required. You control
Twinsen's movements with the four arrow keys on the keyboard. Twinsen can be in
one of four modes: NORMAL, ATHLETIC, AGGRESSIVE, and DISCREET. He moves
differently in each mode (in ATHLETIC mode he runs, in DISCREET mode he
tiptoes). Also the SPACEBAR is used as an "action" key; it performs different
actions in each mode: in NORMAL mode it searches or activates things or talks
to people, in ATHLETIC mode it makes Twinsen jump, etc. There are only a few
other keys which are easily learned.
The sound effects are excellent. There are unique and amusing sound effects for
the actions of the various characters, and details such as the different sounds
Twinsen's feet make as they walk across different surfaces are never ignored.
All text in the game is both typed to the screen and spoken out loud: although
you can turn off the typed text I recommend leaving it on; sometimes the music
can make the speech a little difficult to hear.
The music is even better than the sound effects: because the game is on a CD
Adeline laid down real audio CD tracks for music and these are played in the
background, giving better audio quality than any sound card could. It's a great
experience when you enter the White Leaf Desert and the horse gallops past as
the music swells--a small break from the pressure of slipping through the
fingers of Dr. FunFrock and his minions! click here for more details on sound.
Introduction
I've been answering questions about Relentless on the USENET group
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure since January when I finished the game. It
seems that many people are having the same problems and asking the same
questions, so I've tried to collect the various responses I've given and put
them down here.
I'm very concerned about spoiling adventure games for anyone: I personally
never ask for hints or help on the 'Net, nor read posts about an adventure game
I'm playing, because I worry about responses that reveal too much. So, the only
place (hopefully) you'll find spoilers for the game is in the later sections
which are clearly marked, and separated with a page-feed character (CTRL-L).
One exception to this might be the Bugs section, where some bugs require minor
spoilers. However, I've purposefully made them vague enough that you shouldn't
need to be too concerned.

Product Questions
What's the name of this game? Some people call it Relentless, some Little Big
Adventure (or LBA)? What's the difference?
No difference. It was released outside the USA as Little Big Adventure, and
released in the US as Relentless: Twinsen's Adventure. They're exactly the same
game.
Is the game available on diskette?
No; you can get Relentless only on CD-ROM.
Is there no music with this game?
Yes, there's excellent music.
The music in Relentless is stored in audio tracks on the CDROM so it doesn't
use your sound card at all. This gives excellent quality music.
However, it requires that you have an audio cable from your CDROM drive to your
sound card. Most sound cards and CDROM drives have special connections for a
cable to allow you to listen to audio CD's through the output jack of your
sound card, in addition to any output jack you may have on your CDROM drive. If
you don't have a cable you'll need to get one at a computer store; usually they
cost about $12 or so. Make sure you get the right one for both your soundcard
and your CDROM drive.
Alternatively, you can sometimes use a simple RCA plug to connect the audio
jack of your CDROM drive to an input jack on your soundcard. Or a very low-tech
solution: connect some speakers to your CDROM audio jack and either headphones
or other speakers to your sound card audio jack, and listen to both that way.
Here's a neat thing: try playing your Relentless CD in your CD player on your
stereo! The first track is the data track where the game data is stored, but
the rest of the tracks are music from the game.
Is there any way to play the game without the CD in the CDROM drive?
No. The CD must be in the CDROM drive when you play, even if you set it up to
copy all the sound data (digitized voices) to your harddisk.
________________________________________________________________________________
Saving the Game
Whew! A whole section on saving the game? Must be hard!
Well, not hard, really: just different than many people are used to. Everyone
seems to have a lot of questions about it.
How do I get to the "Options" menu?
Use the [F6] function key to bring up the Options menu. Game saving commands
are under the "Saved Game Management" menu.
Hey! There's no "Save Game" command! What gives?
Relentless uses a save-game procedure found more commonly in arcade/platform
style games: instead of explicitly requesting a game be saved, Relentless will
save your game for you automatically at pre-defined "save points" ( click here
).
In fact, you should think of the game you're currently playing as a"current
game", rather than a continuation of a saved game. If you start up a game and
play some more in it, then quit and restart it again, it will reflect your
status when you quit, not the last time you started it.
How do I keep an old saved game then?
This is the best procedure to use for saving/restoring games in Relentless:
1 Start a new game. Call it "MAIN" or something; this is the game you
will play from now on: never start any other games or they will not be
"saved games" anymore ( click here ).
2 Enter a new area... Hmm... I better save my game.
3 Copy your current game (MAIN) to something else. Pick a name which
reflects where you are now ("entering spaceport").
4 Continue playing ...
5 Ouch! That wasn't good. I better restore to a previous point.
6 Quit your current game (you don't need to exit to DOS! Just quit back
to the main menu).
7 Delete your current game (MAIN).
8 Look at the list of your saved games, and copy the saved game you want
to restore back to MAIN.
9 Restart MAIN.
10 Go back to step 4.
The most important point here is never play one of your saved games! If
something bad happens you won't be able to use that game as a saved game
anymore; the bad thing will be saved in it.
What are the "save points" in Relentless?
Relentless is divided up into "scenes". Scenes are different sizes, but most
scenes in Relentless are larger than the computer screen, so you can see only
part of them at a time.
You can tell the edge of a scene because you can't see beyond it. If you center
yourself on the screen and there's a black boundary or door where you can walk
but can't see beyond, that's the edge of the scene. This includes entering
houses, etc.! If you can't see into it when standing next to it, it's a new
scene.
Relentless will save your location each time you enter a new scene. So, if you
quit or die in the middle of a scene you will restart back at the beginning of
the scene.
You cannot save/restore a game such that Twinsen starts out in the middle of a
scene: when you restore he will always start at one of the starting points for
the scene.
I used up my XXX, then quit and restarted at the beginning of the scene but I
don't have my XXX anymore!
Right. Relentless is a little unfair about this. It only saves Twinsen's
location when he enters a new scene, but it continuously saves Twinsen's
"state"; that is, his inventory, how hurt he is, etc. and also the game
environment: what doors are open, what puzzles solved.
So, if you use up something in your inventory then restart before the next
scene it won't matter; you'll start at the beginning of the current scene but
you still won't have that item.
Conversely, this can work for you: if you manage to get an item in your
inventory, or solve a puzzle, then die, you will start at the beginning of the
scene but still have that item in your inventory or that puzzle solved. One
exception is keys (see below), which you don't keep. However, sometimes doors
that you open will stay open (unless they normally close after use).
________________________________________________________________________________
Important Stuff In Your Manual
Manual? I don't need no stinkin' manual!
Unfortunately many people don't seem to read the manual for games very
carefully. Games like Relentless are especially deceptive because they seem
fairly easy to play, with very few controls.
However, your manual contains many important facts that will make the game
easier and are sometimes difficult to discover on your own, and some of them
are central to solving some of the problems Twinsen will encounter on his
adventure.
I've been smacking this groboclone for a half-hour, and he won't die!
Twinsen can't defeat every enemy, especially with his bare fists and feet
(impressive as his martial arts skills appear to be). Some enemies are even
immune to his magic ball, especially at lower levels of magic.
How can you tell? Look for the white stars when Twinsen attacks something. If
he hits an enemy (or friend) and no white stars appear, he isn't doing any
damage. Twinsen could perform that attack all day long with no effects. Either
switch to a more powerful weapon if you have it, or give it up until you find
one!
I can't get in position to hit something with my magic ball.
When you throw your magic ball it will travel in different trajectories
depending on what mode you're in.
The most useful alternate mode is DISCREET. If you throw your magic ball in
DISCREET mode it'll be lobbed up in the air like a grenade. You can take out
guards on ledges or on the other side of obstacles this way.
My magic ball doesn't go where I want it to.
At the beginning the magic ball just isn't very accurate. As you gain more
magic, its accuracy will increase. In particular, at low levels of magic
Twinsen can't seem to hit anyone standing right next to him, which is a problem.
So, if you let that groboclone get right up in your face to start whacking you
in the head, the magic ball will probably not be able to save you. Solution:
keep everything at bay! Use long-distance shots carefully lined up so you can
destroy bad guys before they get too close ( click here ).
________________________________________________________________________________
General Strategies
I keep running out of magic/health/money!
There's lots of magic/health/money to be found lying around (I guess the people
of Twinsun have many holes in their pockets). Be sure to search every trash
can, bush, crate, barrel, wood pile, end-table, dresser, desk, bureau, and sink
you can find.
A particularly good place to find money is in the kash registers--you can
generally only look in them if the proprietor has been otherwise distracted ;).
Who are all these people wandering around?
Oppressed citizens, like yourself, being crushed under the iron heel of Dr.
FunFrock's jackboots!
And, as such, they'll often feel obliged to help you. You can use every bit of
help you can get, so be sure to ask for it!
It's extremely important to talk to every single non-threatening character
wandering around. Even if you've seen the same sort of person before and they
had nothing to say then, try again with each new one.
Keep notes of anything interesting they say; pay attention to the details
especially if they're giving you instructions or asking you to do something for
them. Also make a note if they don't have anything to say yet, but seem like
they might later: you might want to come back to them.
Also, read all the signs and posters on the walls. Often they contain useful
information... at least you'll know where you are!
Grrr! Everyone's so hard to kill! I keep getting wiped out, help!
Relentless is not DOOM :).
Twinsen is a fugitive in a police state. His best weapons are secrecy and
speed: discretion is definitely the better part of valor.
A general rule of thumb is "avoid trouble". If you see a guard, look for a way
to avoid him rather than trying to whack him. DISCREET mode only gets you so
far: tiptoeing does no good if your path lies in front of them, they'll just
look at you funny before shooting you :)
A better strategy is to RUN! Running is the single best way to avoid trouble in
Relentless. Twinsen can run past guards as long as he keeps a yard or two away
(game yards, of course :). They'll fire at him where he was, and by the time
the shot gets there he'll be somewhere else (I guess they don't teach "leading
a target" at FunFrock's Military Academy :).
The problem with running, of course, is that if Twinsen runs into something
he'll bonk his head and reel around like an idiot for a second or two; more
than enough time to get shot. So, learning to control Twinsen in mid-flight is
very important; be able to turn him and understand what his turn radius is
while running so you can avoid obstacles without stopping.
Also, examine your surroundings very carefully. See if there's another way you
can go (remember Twinsen can jump up on some things in ATHLETIC mode!), perhaps
where Twinsen can tiptoe by without being spotted. As long as you can reach it
you can jump on or over it: look for places you can walk on the tops of walls
or jump over barriers to avoid being seen.
Of course, sometimes you must kill guards, either because you can't run or
sneak by them, or because they're carrying keys you need.
In this case you should definitely use the magic ball if you have it. If you
don't, all you can do is run up to them as fast as possible and attack...
luckily, you get the magic ball very early in the game :)
Unfortunately Twinsen was never a baseball player in his youth, and his arm
leaves a lot to be desired. With more magic, the magic ball can compensate for
Twinsen's lack of accuracy, but early on you'll have to deal with it ( click
here ).
So, get in the habit of scoping the landscape before attacking. Is there
something you can attack from behind, so they can't get to you? Is there some
way you can get above or behind them so they can't see you?
Failing any help from the scenery, just follow the old rule: surprise attack
wins the battle. Keep far enough away that they don't notice you and line
yourself up carefully. A straight line is best, because you'll probably need
more than one hit and after the first they'll probably be moving towards you.
Use different modes to get different trajectories on your magic ball; if you
can't reach the guard with one try another before moving ( click here ).
I'm trying to do XXX, but I can't! Why not?
Well, one good reason is that you're not supposed to be able to do it yet.
Relentless is not a strictly linear game: in particular you will be traveling
back and forth between the various Islands many times so don't expect to solve
everything on one before moving on to the next. However, it is a game of
building knowledge and experience: many times you'll come across something that
you just don't understand, only to continue on and later realize what to do
with it. As Twinsen begins to understand his predicament, so will you.
If you've tried various things and you can't figure out how to do something,
just note it down for later and try something else. If you get stuck review
what you know and see where there are things you have left undone, and whether
you can now do them.
Hey! I had a key, then I went somewhere else and now it's gone!
An important thing to know about keys is that they all disappear every time you
change scenes. So, if you found one you should use it before leaving to do
something else.
The except to this is any key that appears in your inventory screen; these of
course stay with you. Basically the "key count" you see on your health/magic
status screen is reset to zero each time you enter a new scene.
________________________________________________________________________________
Bugs
Relentless is about the most bug-free game I've ever played. I had no sound
issues, no CDROM issues, and I personally didn't run into any of the bugs
below. But, others have and they can be frustrating.
I've tried to keep the descriptions below as general as possible, but sometimes
they involve specific parts of the game and it's difficult to describe the bug
or fix without giving something away...
If you don't see it here it might be part of the game (in particular, if you're
stuck in the Teleportation Center or the room with the 3rd Rune Stone and can't
figure out how to get out--those are not bugs ;)
The Red Key Card Bug
You must obtain the red key card before solving the Museum. If you solve the
Museum and don't have the red key card, you can no longer get it anymore, and
you need it later to finish the game. This isn't a huge problem since it's very
difficult to get past the museum without the red key card. Unfortunately, it's
not impossible if you're persistent and more than a couple of gamers have been
bitten by this bug :(
If you've already solved the Museum and haven't got the red key card, the
easiest thing is to restart a saved game before the Museum and go get it first.
If you don't have a saved game from there or don't feel like replaying
everything between then and where you are now, you can edit your saved game
file to give yourself the red key card.

The Architect's ID Card Bug
Some people have reported that the guard does not recognize the Architect's ID
card and won't open the gate.
I have no idea why this happens sometimes (so far I've seen two reports of it)
and not others. One thing to try perhaps is make sure you've visited Fortress
Island and talked to the rabibunny there; it may be necessary to get his input
before you can get through the gate.
Another suggestion comes from NONIS ALAN nonisa@ecf.toronto.edu:

> the OK.
The Tippett Island Ladder Bug
Some people have reported problems climbing the short ladder right at the
beginning of Tippett Island. I'm not sure if this is a real bug or not: I
recommend moving Twinsen a little bit to the left or right and trying again.
Also, try turning slightly at an angle and climbing that way.
Please let me know if this is a real bug.
The General Ladder Climbing Bug
Someone reported he couldn't climb ladders at all, he kept falling off. Note
that you must continue to press the FORWARD key and hold it down all the way up
the ladder or Twinsen will fall off when you let it go. However, even this
didn't seem to help in this case.
Again, I heard just this one report; no workarounds or solutions.
________________________________________________________________________________
Hints
These are hints for parts of the game which are kind of tricky otherwise and
which many people have had trouble with. I'm not saying that if you have
problems not covered by the hints below you're a poor gamer; everyone has their
own blind spots and you probably saw things immediately others missed or hunted
for :)
But, I also don't want to make this a walkthrough so I'm just putting
commonly-asked questions here. If you have a problem not covered by this you
can ask the 'Net, or if you're concerned about getting too much info you can
email me directly--I try to be very discreet and never answer questions I
wasn't asked: if you can't do something I'll just say "can't do that yet" and I
won't tell you all the steps to get from where you are to the answer you asked
about.
The table of contents should help you find the hint/answer you're looking for;
you can then go right to it. Use your willpower to not read answers to other
questions :) They come in more-or-less chronological order so hopefully you
should be able to read them without learning much until you get to the one you
want.

You need to get rid of your prison clothes to make yourself less conspicuous.
After getting through the first door with the key, turn north at the end of the
hallway and enter the locker room. At the back there's a changing screen with a
nurse's uniform thrown over it; walk behind the screen and you'll change.
Nurses will now let you walk right up to them without sounding the alarm.
If you wait until the nurse patrolling the main room on the ground floor is
walking on the other side of the room you can run into the locker room without
him seeing you either, so you don't have to kill him before he hits the alarm.
Don't forget to check the lockers for other goodies :)
What should I do after escaping from The Citadel?
Look at your Holomap. See the big red arrow? Manipulate the Holomap controls
and you'll see it's pointing to your house. Sounds like as good a destination
as any!
Twinsen keeps getting captured at his house!
Note what your girlfriend says to you: "hide!" Remember that you also needed to
hide to get into the garbage truck at the Citadel: hide here the same way:
enter DISCREET mode and use the ACTION key to crouch down and hide (just being
in DISCREET mode is not enough!)
You must both be hiding before the Supergro starts looking for you, and you
must not be in plain site in the foyer :) So, right after you finish having a
conversation with your girlfriend in your house, enter ATHLETIC mode and run to
some other room (bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or living room all do nicely),
then hide.
If you don't manage to hide before you're caught, don't worry about it. You can
simply re-escape from the Citadel and go back to your house. Unfortunately now
there are some clones guarding it, but if you talk to your neighbor you will
get a clue as to how to get back into your house without having to fight your
way in.
What's all the cool stuff in the cave under Twinsen's house?
Very neat useful stuff! But you can't get it until later, so give it up. You'll
know when.
How does Twinsen get onto the docks/get a ticket?
You have to get through the gate. The groboclone won't let you through without
a ticket. But the ticket vendor calls the cops on you if you ask him for one.
Fine, you'll have to cheat your way on and he won't get paid :)
There're two ways to get through the gate: either clobber the groboclone with
your magic ball, or some people have managed to jump up on the crates until the
could jump over the fence, but this is difficult. Do whichever you like.
Once you get on the docks, ask that depressed grobo in a sailor's suit for help
getting a ticket.
I need a solution for the crate puzzle!
If you've ever played Sokoban this is easy, but if you just want a solution,
here's one provided by Adam Smith acsmith@engc.bu.edu:

Principal Island
How does Twinsen get off the docks?
There are two ways. The first is to use the eastern exit. To do this, ignore
the groboclone waving you on (he'll ignore you unless you attack him). Walk
down and stand with your back against the wood boxes facing the green guard.
Throw your magic ball until he's gone (if you stand far enough away he won't
notice you until you hit him).
Next, jump over into his little bunker area, walk to the other side, and line
yourself up with the rabiclone. Use your magic ball on him. He'll fall down,
but keep hitting him when he's down. When he gets back up he'll probably get a
shot off so make sure your magic ball is in the air when he hits you, so he'll
be knocked down again and you can continue to whack him. Once he's gone, stroll
on through. An alternative is to jump over to the other side of the sandbags
(not too close or he'll shoot you), hit him once, then run past while he's
trying to get up.
The second way is to go north: walk between the barbed wire and the north edge
of the dock. Carefully scope out the beats of the green guards there without
getting too close, then take them out one at a time. You can then walk through
the archway behind the bunker north into the next scene. I've had trouble with
there being clones 'n stuff hidden under that archway, but others say this
works fine.
Now where do I go?
Probably the best place to go next is the Library (go north up the east side of
the Island). After that, try the Old Burg (due west of FunFrock's Headquarters.
How do I purify the water?
You don't need to purify it exactly, you need to make it taste better. First
you need to find it--solve the rest of the Old Burg and if you still haven't
found it see the hint for Peg Leg Street below.
Then you need to find something to make it taste better: try looking at the
Bazaar in the Old Burg; they might have a clue.
How do I get the Old Burg-ians to trust Twinsen?
Just as they say: you have to clobber a clone. Remember, clones are the
mechanical-sounding ones. Clobbering a green guard (the military ones with
rifles) does not count. Also it's not a Supergro (the grobos in white with blue
masks); they're invincible (at the moment ;).
Also you'll have to do it nearby to them so they'll know you did it. There's a
prime candidate: a rabiclone is wandering around the outskirts of the Old Burg.
Just keep looking (and listening!) and you'll find him.
How do I find the Astronomer?
Once the Old Burg-ians trust you, try talking to the rabibunny waiting at the
corner by the southern entrance to the Old Burg, tapping his feet and looking
at his watch.
How do I get by the Supergro to see the Astronomer?
Talk to the female rabibunny leaning against the wall next to the Bazaar.
How do I find Peg Leg Street?
It's due south of the Old Burg; on that north-south road to the east of the Old
Burg (where Julia lives), just keep going south out the bottom of the scene.
How do I find the water supply?
Go to Peg Leg Street, and follow it west. Steal the motorbike while the guard
is following nature's call. Be very careful when you get back, he'll be pissed
at you... so to speak :).
Where do I get gas?
You can get some in the Bazaar in the Old Burg (that house next to the female
rabibunny with a little gas can over the door).
How do I get to Port Belooga?
You can find transportation in the military camp, north of the Old Burg and
west of the Library.
________________________________________________________________________________
White Leaf Desert
How do I get ashore?
No help for it; you just have to jump. Two tricks: one, examine the cycle of
the machine gun and go between barrages. Two, throw your magic ball: it will
travel in the same direction you will when you jump, so if it lands off to the
side of the rock you're aiming for, so will you.
This is one of the places the odd save-game feature will really annoy you.
Bummer.
If you ever have to come back here later in the game, and you have a way of
flying, remember you don't need to do this jumping thing again: just fly over
the water. Look out for the tank and the guards in the barracks though.
How do I get into the soldier's barracks?
You can't; there's an endless supply of guards in there. You don't want to
anyway, so never mind.
What do I do after talking to the old man in the desert?
Take the leap! In ATHLETIC mode, jump into the well next to him to get to the
Temple of Bu.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Temple of Bu
How do I open the door?
When you stand on the platform with the bouncing fireballs, it opens.
Unfortunately, when you get off it closes. There're two choices: (a) keep
going, get the statue, get it back, and put it on the platform to hold the door
open, or (b) if you have a mecha-Penguin, and you're careful, you can have set
the mecha-Penguin walking towards the platform. When it steps on the platform
the door will open and you can get through. That might be considered cheating
by some, clever by others :) Take your pick.
How do I get back over the wall to the first lever?
You can jump back. Go to where you first loaded the statue on the moving
platform. Walk east from there to the edge: from here or around here you can
jump over to the wall and get back to the first lever.
Use NORMAL or DISCREET mode to sidle up as close as possible to the edge, then
switch to ATHLETIC for the jump.
How do I get by those two skeletons?
You can pop them from the stairway where they can't reach you; you might have
to go down off the stairs to lure them.
Alternatively if you're really careful you can hit the switch to move the last
platform with your magic ball. If you do that you can walk across the wall and
ignore the skeletons altogether.

How do I get past the second rolling log?
You don't want to fall through the holes. If you do, you'll have to go through
a whole useless section of the Temple, then start right back before the second
rolling log and try again.
If you're really good you can just outrun it. If you're not (I couldn't do it
either, don't feel bad :) then just notice that at the bottom of the stairs the
railing to the south of the corridor ends and there's a one-tile wide strip
there.. But the log is only as wide as the corridor.
So, run down the stairs just before the H-shaped hole, then jump across to that
strip of tiles (you can't over-jump, so don't worry). Once the log rolls by,
continue on (but don't dawdle, there's another coming! :)
What do I do with that weird flying pterodactyl-bird?
Ignore it.
How do I open the door in the room with the bouncing rocks?
You have to destroy each rock with your magic ball, then the door will open.
I can't reach those switches on the pillars!
Go into DISCREET mode, and lob your magic ball up there. Your magic ball will
trip the switch if you hit it.
I'm on a platform but I can't reach a switch to make it move!
You don't have to; just use the ACTION key in NORMAL mode and you'll hop up and
down on the platform to make it move.
How do I arrange the three platforms so I can climb them?
The three levers on the post are the ones the hopping guy in the Library gave
you the solution to, remember?
"Pull the middle lever once, then pull the right lever once."
How do I get past the two skeletons guarding the Book of Bu?
You can either hit them while standing in the hallway, that's pretty easy, or
you can just ignore them, wait for the right time, then run up and grab the
book. Once you have it the skeletons will realize what a righteous guy Twinsen
is and bow down meekly :)
How do I get out of the Temple?
Just go due east after getting the book, to the big spotlight. Don't go all the
way back through the Temple! Yikes!
I've read the Book of Bu, but how do I find the treasure?
The Book of Bu will allow you to read ancient runes; where else have you seen
ancient runes that you haven't been able to read?
Try looking in the cave under your house on Citadel Island.
________________________________________________________________________________
Proxima Island
The fisherman doesn't want to take me anywhere anymore, how do I get off
Principal Island?
You need your own boat. Wander around Port Belooga some more and see if
anyone's selling (not the fisherman!) You'll need a lot of kashes; to be
precise, 200 kashes.
Where is the forger's house?
As soon as you land at the Proxima Island docks, go up the stairs and turn
west. You'll notice the road actually continues on into another scene, rather
than stopping there.
How do I get a hair dryer?
Talk to the disgruntled quetch in a suit walking around in front of the museum;
he's a hair dryer salesman.
How do I get the treasure from the Museum?
(Warning: this is the complete answer!)
OK, here's what you do. You'll need a working jetpack and the red key card.
<*> Use the red key card to go into the left door of the museum.
<*> Walk through the hall until you see a sewer grate. Stand on the grate
and use the ACTION key in NORMAL mode. It'll go down.
<*> Make your way south through the sewer to the next grate; hop on that
and it'll go up, depositing you in the jail.
<*> Clobber the nurse and pull the lever to sound the alarm.
<*> Go back into the sewer the way you came.
<*> Go back north to the grate below the museum; take it back up into the
museum.
You're now in the museum with the alarm on, so there's nothing but automated
guards. Remember what the worker grobo in the jail said: all the wooden floors
are alarmed so you'll have to use the jetpack to fly over them. You can land on
the display cases and take what you like (hint: you need more than one thing
from the museum :)
How do I get to the Eclipse Stone?
You can't get there yet; that big wall with the Seal of Sendell is in the way.
Shortly you'll know how to break the Seal.
________________________________________________________________________________
Rebellion Island
Why won't the rebels let me land?
They think you're an agent of FunFrock's. Can you think of anything you could
do to your boat to make it look "rebellious"?
Hint: Talk to the rebel rabibunny standing guard at the Hamalayi Mountains.
Hint II: What you need is in the Museum.
Answer: Get the pirate flag for your boat.
How do I get out of the bunker?
You can jump out where you came in, on those boxes. Keep trying.
How do I get to the Colonel?
Take the jeep, to the south of the bunker.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Hamalayi Mountains
My rebel partner is too wussy, he keeps getting killed!
Listen carefully to the instructions you get when you land with the rebels. You
are given two orders: one is to not get too far ahead of your rebel partner,
but the other is even more important: you must destroy the communications dish
first!
The communications dish is up on a ledge in the first scene where you land with
the rebels, right as you go through the passage to the second scene. Whack it
before going on!
Where can I find a blue key card?
If you don't have it yet you'll have to take your boat back to the White Leaf
Desert and go back through the military camp. Once back in the desert search
the northern wall for the Seal of Sendell, blow your horn, and chase down the
elf. He'll give you a blue key card (that's what that is all right; the first
time I got it I thought it was bogus and didn't save that game :-/).
How do I get out of the snowboarding scene (man)?
Once you're done taking free rides, look to the east edge of the scene, in the
middle. There're two little bushes about road width apart; go through those.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Rabibunny Village
How do I get the Magic Carrot door open?
Talk to the rabibunnies in the village (try tasting the soup :)
How do I get to the Mutant Factory?
Again, talk to the village rabibunnies. One will dig a hole for you to get to
the Mutant Factory.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Mutant Factory
I keep getting thrown in jail; I can't kill the nurse by the alarm.
Don't try; I never could either. Instead, just take the subway the worker grobo
was working on (get thrown in jail first so you can free the elf; he'll give
you lots of clovers!)
What levers do you have to pull to deal with the crab mutants?
I pulled them all.
How do you destroy all the mutant eggs?
Throw your magic ball into the pen with them until they're all gone. You'll
know when you've done it (if the eggs are gone and you don't get the "flash"
then you've missed some mutant parts).
Some people say use DISCREET mode but I used AGGRESSIVE or ATHLETIC mode to get
my magic ball to bounce around as much as possible.
How do you get back from the Mutant Factory?
Walk back out... careful of the crabs. If you pulled all the levers before the
door should be open now.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Northern Hemisphere
How do you get back to the Southern Hemisphere & off the Hamalayis?
Go back through the Magic Carrot door, then back through the hole dug for you
to get to the Mutant Factory. You're now back on the southern side of the
Hamalayis.
Walk along that ledge and whack the machine gunner (say hi to the elf you
freed! :), then jump down and exit the scene to the west. Look familiar?
Now go through that scene and exit it to the southwest. You will find your boat
in the next scene.
Where is the Clear Water Lake?
You need to get through this guard post and across the bridge. When you get
down to the other side and get rid of the red clone and see the airboat, don't
get on it; instead go north then west at the corner.
How do I get the clear water--the lake is frozen!
You need to thaw it; to do that you need the flute. You can get the flute from
the Marked Stone on Proxima Island.
________________________________________________________________________________
Tippett Island
What's with that vacationing groboclone?
He has nothing to say... yet. But it might be useful to remember that there's a
groboclone who has information to sell; you might need info from a 'clone later
on.
What's with the fisherman?
If you search near him you'll find a key. This will get you through the door
behind the groboclone.
How do I get through the door behind the groboclone?
Look near the fisherman for a key.
Where can I find a guitar?
Well, the only one I recall seeing was being used by that old rabibunny in the
White Leaf Desert...
I rocked the Twin-Sun Cafe, now what?
Talk to the bartender; I'm sure he'll be excited by the new atmosphere of his
place.
How do I get across the sewer water?
If you have a jetpack you might try flying. Alternatively, you can also ride on
the crab's back (although that's trickier; getting on is easy but getting off
at the right time can be harder).
I can't climb the ladder, there's all kinds of rubble blocking it!
Just go into ATHLETIC mode and jump up the rubble till you get to the ladder,
then climb.
________________________________________________________________________________
The Teleportation Center
The nurse at the gate won't let me in!
Heh! It's not as easy as that! :) Maybe you can think of someone who could help
you get in... hmm... what about that groboclone on Tippett Island? Surely a
clone would be familiar with the Teleportation Center? If you don't want to
bother going to ask him, see the next question.
Where can I find the plans to the Teleportation Center?
As the vacationing groboclone on Tippett Island will tell you (for 50 kashes):
you can find the plans for the Teleportation Center in a safe in FunFrock's
headquarters (back on Principal Island).
Now that you have all four levels of magic, you can defeat Supergros with your
magic ball! Unfortunately they're all pissed at you and will hit you with flame
balls now instead of those nice sleep pellets (ouch!)
Where's the Architect?
He's back on Citadel Island--he's your neighbor's son! (Remember?"My son, who's
an architect, ...")
I'm through the gate, but I can't get into the building!
Watch and follow the rabibunny who keeps coming out of the building and
climbing onto the roof to the left.
I can't get back out of the Control Room!
When you destroyed the computer terminal, it blew a hole in the wall to the
southeast (where you can see FunFrock's bust). Jump over the wall there.
________________________________________________________________________________
FunFrock's Fortress
How can I get in?
Ask the rabibunnies to help you.
Yikes! How do I destroy that rolling orange thing!
I moved behind the other hole and hit it with my magic ball. If it comes back
out of that same hole, switch to your sword and use that.
The flying groboclones keep killing me before I can get across
the pool!
Go back to the previous room and check out the spigot at the bottom of the
ladder...
Once the water is gone, you don't have to worry about drowning. Either take out
the flying groboclones or just run across the pool bottom (look out for the
shark :) to the north edge and climb the ladder.
I got recaptured by FunFrock, and the whole game started over!
No it didn't, you're jumping to conclusions. You know how to get out of here...
do it and see what happens!
I found the clone storage room, what now?
Examine the back wall on the southern side (also you don't need to kill all the
clones; if you abuse them enough they'll all wake up).
I read the Runic Stone, but now I can't get out!
This is a weird one; as far as I know there're no hints as to what to do. My
Infocom training came to the fore and I figured I had to"unlock" this stone
like the other two, but the horn didn't work, so I started trying other magical
stuff from my inventory on it.
Pour the clear water on the stone.
________________________________________________________________________________
Construction Site/Polar Island/Well of Sendell
How do I get there?
Examine your holomap: where does the road up there originate?
Take a closer look at the ruins of FunFrock's Fortress you just blew up.
I got through the boulders but now what?
You have to find the key to the gate on the east side of the scene further
north. The construction worker at the top of the hill to the north has it;
you'll have to work your way up there to him to get it.
How do I get past those killer bulldozers?
The easy way is to use a mecha-Penguin. Bulldozers apparently don't like them
any more than red clones do.
The harder way is to just run past. The last one is the hardest: notice there's
a line which, if you cross it, the 'dozer will see you. Step across this line
right next to the wooden stakes. When the 'dozer gets close, step back. It will
forget about you and start dozing off to your north. When it does that, just
start running. You should be by it before it gets turned around, and you can
easily outrun it.
How do I kill the construction workers on Polar Island?
The first one is easy; use your sword on him: two whacks at most.
The second and third are harder. For the second, just DISCREETly tiptoe up to
him; if you're in DISCREET mode he'll fire over your head. Lob your magic ball
up there to whack him.
The third is the toughest. What worked for me was to run (in ATHLETIC mode)
right up to the ledge he's working on, then immediately go into DISCREET mode.
If you get close enough to the ledge he'll shoot over your head and you can lob
your magic ball at him. Don't run too far and bonk your head; he'll waste you
before you can recover.
I got rid of all the workers, now how do I get up?
Twinsen can climb things besides ladders; anywhere there's a rough surface to
get a good grip. Look carefully at the walls of the Well; they're not uniformly
smooth.
Dr. FunFrock is tough! How do I kill him?
Various people have reported good luck with various methods. Of course you must
use your sword; FunFrock is too powerful for your magic ball even with all four
levels of magic.
You should be be in AGGRESSIVE mode when using your sword; apparently you get
more slices and keep FunFrock off balance that way.
You should also be facing him dead-on as much as possible; if you're not facing
him directly he gets more shots in.
Some people say that if you charge him when he's falling to the floor you can
pin him against the wall so he can't maneuver and he's pretty easy to kill.
If you do let him fall to the floor, don't try to attack him until after he
starts slapping your girlfriend around (hey, we all have to pay a price for
freedom! Twinsen's certainly taken his share of slaps during the course of the
game :) At this point he'll ignore you until you actually start hitting him. If
you run at him otherwise he'll use some kind of long distance shots to whack
you where you can't reach him.
Finally, remember that you can use your clovers to replenish yourself. Once you
die, even if you have clovers, you're dead (FunFrock destroys the world: a good
cutscene; you should check it out at least once--not that you probably won't :)
so don't save those clovers! If FunFrock gets a couple of hits on you, bring up
your inventory and select the clover bin; it'll rejuvenate you. Watch your
health carefully during the battle: after every hit you take bring up your
health screen. Three or four FunFrock whacks can kill you so watch out. It took
me personally 3 or 4 clovers before FunFrock died.
________________________________________________________________________________
Fun Diversions
You should probably not read this section until you're done with the game as it
doesn't try to be circumspect.
Here's a list of fun stuff you might not have done or noticed in Relentless:
Where are all the clover boxes?
There are three other clover boxes in addition to the two you start with.
<*> One is in the sewers on Citadel Island, in the scene just south of the
Citadel.
<*> One is in the basement of the Tavern on Citadel Island: you can't get
in until later in the game after FunFrock's minions close it; if you
re-open it you'll get a key to the basement.
<*> One is on the little island south of Peg Leg Street on Principal
Island: the bridge is out so you need to fly over.
Fun with Gawley's Horn!
You can open lots of stuff with Gawley's Horn. Also, the flute can be used as a
substitute for the horn to open things up (I like the horn better though :).
Try blowing it in various places:
All the Seals of Sendell:
<*> One in the cave under your house (gives you a big supply of
clovers--replenished whenever you come back).
<*> One in the ruins on Principal Island.
<*> One on the way to the Eclipse Stone.
<*> One in the White Leaf Desert.
<*> One at the Teleportation Center.
<*> One in Dr. FunFrock's Fortress.
<*> One at the Well of Sendell.
The busts of FunFrock that aren't on a thick square pedestal:
<*> One in the center of the garden on Citadel Island, in the scene with
the entrance to the docks.
<*> One in the Old Burg, next to the Bazaar.
Checking out your history.
You can review all the cutscenes you've seen so far at various places in the
game:
<*> Examine Julia's television set in the Old Burg.
<*> Examine the globe right next to the entrance to Sendell in the Well of
Sendell (it's probably best to wait until after you dispose of Dr.
FunFrock :)
Fun facts and oddities.
Have you tried / Did you notice? (Easter Eggs in Relentless)
<*> If you talk to the first nurse that comes into your cell on the
platform right at the beginning, he mentions that an informer turned
you in. This helps make the nervousness of the Pharmacist when you
visit him much more understandable--and means you don't need to feel
bad about pounding him ;)
<*> John Tsau johne@casbah.acns.nwu.edu points out that you can inflict
damage on guards by jumping on their heads: i.e., jumping off a ledge
or something and landing on them.
<*> On Citadel Island, in the scene with the entrance to the docks, there's
a groboclone guarding seemingly nothing on the archway over the passage
to the docks. If you whack him he gives up a key, apparently to
nothing. But actually there's a gate behind him that lets you into the
scene to the south... not very useful.

<*> The envelope containing the list of clover sites says there's a clover
on the roof of the museum: you can get up there through a secret door
on one of the walls near the exhibits inside the museum.

What the heck is that for?
<*> What's with that robot on Citadel Island? Early in the game the grobo
next to it just says you don't have permission to take it, and if you
come back later it's gone and the grobo says they took it to the
construction site--but you never see it there. Seems like a lot of
programming for an extremely vague hint about the construction site!
<*> What's that strange chopped-up Twinsen in the cell next to you after
you've been captured in Dr. FunFrock's Fortress by the clone of Zoe
(your girlfriend)? I dropped in there and beat him up, but nothing
happened. Is this supposed to represent something?
John Tsau johne@casbah.acns.nwu.edu suggests:
> That cut up Twinsen in the next cell is probably an incomplete clone.
