The Baron Book

[Post New]by bfgErie on Aug 28, 08 1:01 AM
A monster with a mirror who thinks himself pretty, if you wish to take it, you’ll have to be witty.

This is just one hint for one of the many puzzles in book titled The Baron. If you have questions, hints or comments about any of the puzzles in this book, please post them in this discussion thread.

Stuck doesn't even begin to describe it, especially with only 49 seconds to complete this book!

That puzzle doesn't work well at all. Gear will only fit in certain random places ... watch for them to look a bit more solid when you move them around. If they are all turning but it doesn't say that the puzzle is solved ... check that they are turning in the direction of their arrow.

Before you can get the mirror, you need to open the treasure chest. Put the picture in the empty frame in your inventory. Go to the monster scene. Click on picture in frame. Wait for monster to look away from mirror and click picture in frame on mirror.
Good Luck

The Gears: gears will only go directly above, below, to the left or right of one already place. So the quarter points only. This one had me fuming.

The Laser Canon: You must position the mirror you got from Vulcan correctly on the floating barrel to make a target flash that is seen from space.

The gear puzzle is random generated. I played it 3 times and it was different for each. In one puzzle I had 2 large brown gears and several silver. In another 1 large brown and several silver ... plus the locked gears were different.
...It really is a matter of trial and error. The main tip is that the locked gears have arrows. They must turn in the direction the arrow is pointing.
...Good Luck.

Yeah, the gears game was a real pain in the patootie. You pretty much just have to start clicking around until you can get them to "stick" to the scene...there are only certain spots they will attach to. Sorry I can't be more help than that.

safphyre: once you have the mirror you have to put it in the mirror frame and then stick it in the hole in the barrel in the first scene. When you do that you can click on the mirror and make it move. You have to move it...go to the scene with the laser and try the laser. If nothing happens, go back to the scene with the barrel and click on the mirror to move it and try the laser again. Keep doing this until the laser shoots...this will cause the monster in the last page to get all discombobulated and you can move on from there. Good luck to you.
