Can you take a screenshot of the entrance to the mini dungeon and the room with the fairy? Maybe seeing it will help me remember.

Ah, if only I knew how...
Then again, I know I saw a screenshot option in the ZC control menu...but how would I post it here?
Actually, if are willing to, you can send me your save file and I can try to figure it out - it would take me quite a while to get to the point you're at.
btw, what version of ZC are you using? I played the U3Q on version 1.84, and on the ZC download page it is listed as 1.90 compatible. Not sure if using a later version would affect anything.
I've got 1.92. I think I could manage to send the save file--or at least a copy of it.
Yeah, if you wanna do that, you can attach it to an email. My address is [email][email protected][/email]
E-mailed. Thanks for the help!
Man... I am stumped. I'm pretty sure that is the place, but like you, I tried everything.
There was one spot on the overworld where I remember finding a secret that you may not have found and got excited. En route to level 9 - one screen up and one screen right from the graveyard there is a circle of stones. if you defeat the Peahats, and blow the whistle while standing in the middle of the stones a stairway appears. But, it is only to a potion shop 😞 (it's a good shop though, so check it out)
One thing that I thought about was that maybe since you're not using ZC 1.90, which is what the U3Q is meant to run on, a glitch occrued? I don't know. Definitely try to email AlphaDawg and see what he says.
Yeah, I actually found that potion shop. Always nice to be able to get half-price potions just before finishing the game.
Ten bucks says that the reason I can't do anything in that mini-dungeon is because I'm using version 1.92.
Okay, I tried to e-mail AlphaDawg using the e-mail address found on his site (and I of course deleted all of the capital letters at the front, like the site said to do), and I got a message in my e-mail telling me that it couldn't send the message to the address I requested. Maybe he has another e-mail address? Or maybe the e-mail program is just being hostile.
Bingo. I found the following in the 2.10 Bug topic at the Bug Center.
"- 1.90 Fairy Item bug (it is a bug that persisted since 1.92 even went out I think. Correct me if it is not a bug and was intentional. Any version after 1.90 have had the feature of fairies as the NPC giving an item removed. This results in having items that can never be gained in some 1.90 quests, making the quest unfinishable in most cases."
I KNEW I had seen something like this! The topic in question was what convinced me to take 1.92 over 2.10. Seems a shame they share this fairly major bug, though.
So it WAS the version I was using. Where's my ten bucks? :tongue:
I didn't see that bug post, but I thought playing it on a different version might've done it. Oh well. You'll just have to have fun playing through it all over again! 😉
So I downloaded 1.90, and after fiddling with the sound setup to get both the MIDI and the sound effects going at the same time, I notice that the music is a little out of step with itself, and the sound effects have a small--albeit tolerable--amount of static.
Maybe a better description of the music problem is needed. Sometimes, notes and percussion hits just don't play when they're supposed to, but rather about half a beat off from the rest of the music. Is this something that can be fixed, or something I'll have to get used to? Needless to say, I never had this issue in 1.92...
