Rock Star

[Frustrated Player]

Just a couple of notes about "Rock Star", in which you raked till you ached.

1)It takes an ot.mo.cl.rock bonus of about 200 to get over the rock wall
2)With an ot.perception bonus over 230 you can "look at patterns" or "Look at grid" to see what you've already raked. Anything less and you fail
3)The paper you're given is not oriented the same as the gravel! The top edge of the paper is actually the LEFT side of the gravel.

Note that you don't need the ot.pe bonus to finish the quest, as long as you remember to roate your paper so that it's oriented correctly

The grid isn't just rotated, it's also flipped.

I never had any problems. I'm not sure what my rock climbing bonus was, but I could climb the wall easily. I never needed to look at what I had done, so I didn't need the perception either.

I don't think the diagram is flipped or rotated ... just work out a path to use that avoids all the rocks ('O') and in which you never go over a square twice (if you do you have to leave the grid and start again) and it works like a charm.

I agree with the above posting. Very straightforward.
The big "O"'s are the rocks.

Same here. I think the problem I had was that I went over a square twice, but if you rake it properly again as you go out it shouldn't be a problem.

Another hint: wall climbing takes over 200 bonus.

Climbing gloves and unholding weapons (DOH!) helped here.
