Welcome to what I call the Blind Leader's Guide
Blind Leader's Guide
When I started playing, I wanted to find everything myself, but in the end resorted to the wiki for things I needed but kept overlooking in the game.
This then, is a page of things I wish I knew earlier, and while far from spoiler free, will exclude details that can be found easily by good old-fashioned exploring.
As new as I am at the time of writing, this may well be the "Blind leading the blind", but if it proves useful all the same, then well and good.
Jumping & Flying
Both super jumping and flying abilities are needed to fulfil quests in this game and to properly explore Twilight.
Once you have super jumping, you can hire a flying vehicle somewhere on the Downtown rooftops.
The simplest way to super-jump is to make your own high-jump boots, using some army boots and the taut sinew from an unlucky desert lizard.
You can get to the rooftops by dodging taxis in the streets Downtown.

Fighting The Mick
This is a big fight. It seems especially hard for Gadgeteers (who may find it hard to hit their target), but it is meant to be tough, and preparation is needed. Review everything you are wearing, every spell you are running, and every item you are using just before you finally commit to this fight.
Run as many effects as possible. Apart from helping to win the battle, it seems to affect the likelyhood of rewards.
Favoured items used to produce these effects include the potions on my home page, plus:
- Boot polish,
- Ginseng supplement,
- Powdered gingko,
- Squidopus ink,
- What can be best described by saying "Bang the rocks together guys!"
Finally, if you fail repeatedly, try a different tactic, including waiting a level or two before trying again!
