You're most welcome, glad I could help

Not really Lilly and Sasha related, but I wanted to find out if anyone else is having trouble accessing JW's website. I keep getting the site can't be found message. I use the last version of firefox and also tried with an older version of IE with the same results. Just thought I'd pose the issue for feedback. Hope it's temporary.

Edit: Nevermind, site is backup now...

How do I finish the temple. Did all the puzzles,now what?

Have you done all the puzzles in both time periods and got the Arbiter's key from the chest? If so, then return to the main room and use the key on the big door in the middle of the room. If you're still stuck, please mention the exact place or puzzle.

@mods-- It's Lilly & Sasha.

lol, looks you guys all beaten the Elder in Cypress Temple - I'm fighting with him for the last two hours and I can't win. I manage to destroy all his totems but Griffin always get poisoned and die first. I have heal and stamina totems activated and equiped all so far known runes. Am I too stupid or is it really that hard?
Can I go further and come back later when I'll be stronger?
Where are cure tonics or poison antidotes or something like that?
I love this game - puzzles are great and it's cool you don't have to worry about mana just runes are a little bit strange to decide which one is best for which character.

That's one of the hardest boss battles in the game, so don't feel bad. You can find some helpful strtegies in this thread --

Edit: too late lol

I finished Lilly & Sasha and LOVED it and am very excited about the next chapter! In the meantime, I'd like to replay the game just to see what I might have missed the first time. Will starting a new game drop my chacters back to zero, or can I still save them for the next game?

Yes, as there is no new game+ feature, you'll lose all the items and levels if you start a new game. However, you can keep your final save aside in case the savegames can be carried over from one chapter to another.

Latyss, I appreciate your taking the time to respond to my question, but I'm still confused. Do you mean that as long as I maintain my saved file from my first play of the game, I can replay the game?

Hey txmimi,

If you start a new game to replay, you'll be playing from the beginning which in essence will drop your characters back down to zero. However, you will not lose the game you already finished. You more than likely saved it in one of the many save slots so it's safe and will be transferable to the new L&S game when it's released. You'll just save the new play-through in a different slot that shouldn't impact your first completion.

That said, if you want to go through the game to find what you might have missed, you shouldn't have to start over. You can load your completed game and go back and collect everything without resetting your characters. Check your journal in the game that you completed and it should show you if you're missing something. Also, you can check out the JW forums for threads about stuff that maybe you might have missed: http://johnwizard.com/forums/

Thanks so much for the info! Is that why the last scene shows the game as 99% completed, rather than 100%?

Yep. If it says 99% in the journal of your saved game, then you might be missing something, since at the end, just before the final boss fight and if you've completed everything, it should state in your journal 100% (at least in mine it does and I finished everything). The only missing thing at the time of the final fight should be 1 quest and 1 task of the total 30 quests and 149 tasks. These missing things can only be completed when you walk through the door and face the final villain.

So, the best place to check for missing things (if you didn't find it already) is the section in your journal called overall progress. This section lists the breakdown of everything that adds to the completion percentage displayed in your journal. Hope this helps

Hmmmm. . . now I've got a puzzle to solve! :-) I have beaten the final villain, but it still shows 99%, so I need to find what I've missed. Thanks for this info!

Well, I went back and checked my journal and the only quest/task missing was the one about taking the 3 orbs to the shrine. So I fought the final battle once more, saw all the final cut scenes and credits, and yet my status doesn't yet show 100%. Is there something else I'm supposed to do? Once you're inside the final room, you don't have many options. . .

You should be able to leave the temple before you enter the final room where you face the final boss. There should be a little teleportation circle in the room before the final boss that will take you out, so that you can complete and collect anything and everything you might have missed. That said, even though you probably noticed already, the journal section with the quests and tasks also lists out items (e.g. dragon eggs, photos, runes, etc). Check these things too if you haven't already, since they also impact completion percentage. If all the items in the progress section are complete too then it might just be a glitch in the percentage. Heck it maybe that mine is the one that glitched and mine should say 99% when I load it. Anyways, as long as everything looks completed in the progress section, then you'll probably be fine.

Hope this helps

As side note/question, are you looking at the completion percentage in your journal section after load the game? I ask because there was a glitch that caused a problem with the completion percentage in the load game menu accessed from the main screen for saved game files. For example, mine always says 97% even though after loading the game, mine says 100%.
