Hi Kityn! :) I'll try not to be too vague with this, but here goes:

You need to enter the name of the element by spelling it ONLY with the given letters
A, B, D, F, G, H, M, R, U, X and Y (OK, that much you probably know! ;))

The English name for the element obviously won't work, so consider another language!
Hint:

Spoiler:

Think about its chemical symbol.

If you had already figured that part out, you might have been fooled by the spelling of the name! :confused: Many others who thought they knew the correct spelling may have forgotten one letter! (Unfortunately, some walkthroughs I've seen have spelled the name incorrectly too! :pan: ) If you're still stuck...

Spoiler:

...the letter you're probably missing is another 'R'! :eek:

Hope this helps,
T.

Hi Trunkyo
Thanks for your suggestions.....it's just that they're not working.
I know the missing element is:

Spoiler:

Mercury, and I know it's symbol is Hg. I also know it's full name is "hydragyrum".

What I don't get is where I need the extra letter. I recieved the spelling not only from my walktrhu sites but from several other sites (talking about the elements and their table, etc.)
Please tell me if this is or isn't the correct spelling. (and if it isn't where do I need the extra letter)
Thanks again for your help. :)

The "MISSING" letter :D
 

Hi again, Kityn!

I'm glad you did get as far I thought you did! :D

As I said before, many people (at this forum and other adventure gaming forums) were stumped by Isy too, because they thought they entered the correct answer and it didn't work! :frusty: I won't go into a debate into which spelling of the word is more "acceptable" or "correct" since this isn't the place to do this, the arguments for either would make you :crazy:!
Walkthroughs for IM/MISSING should at least use the spelling accepted by the game...

The point is, the game will only accept one answer, which is...

Spoiler:

hydrargyrum, as opposed to "hydragyrum".

Good luck with the rest of the game! ;)
T.

Thank you very much!
It worked! :D :D :D

Lachori
 

Ok, so, I'm almost done with this game and I'm on Lachori, where you look at slides and rearrange a crest to color it correctly. I read a post that stated a patch was needed to get by this stage, but what I downloaded from ubisoft messed up my game. I saved my profile, but had to delete and reinstall the game. What patch should I be using, exactly? :confused: :pan:

Ok, I got it figured out. No patch was needed. I only had to pay more attention to the shield :shifty:

Glad you were able to figure it out. Welcome to the forum, by the way. :)

***question about Lachori deleted by poster****

- Never mind my question ... like no one, I just wasn't paying enough attention! Argh, that little misstep wasted hours of my time ....

Question about the end of the game:

Spoiler:

It's been about 5 days since I beat the game. After defeating Phoenix, one of the last e-mails mentions that the "police will soon release a sketch of Phoenix." Do we ever get to see this picture? I've gone back to a few of the important game websites and run google searches, but nothing. I also don't see any mention of the sketch in the walkthroughs ...

I was hoping there'd be at least something more (I always suspected that Gery (fe256) would turn out to be Phoenix) .. but the way the game ended, IMHO, was pretty lame ...

Welcome to the forum, jteckmann! *D Glad you figured out what to do.

I haven't reached the end of this game so I can't answer your question. You might get a better response if you post the question in the Adventure forum - just use spoiler tags, exactly like you did here.

:) emily

Jteckmann,

Spoiler:

That's it, I'm afraid. No picture. And Ubisoft seem loathed to release the expansion pack in English...

Thank you!
 

Thank you! I got the same problem, searched through the net for some explanation on bad patch installation.. hahaha... stupid I am :D
Your post got me through the game.
Pay more attention to details!!

The Last Zocha Puzzle
 

We need help beating the last of the Zocha puzzles. I can get the square all the way to the end with a pretty full bar, but absolutely can't get it into the circle. It seems almost impossible. If anyone has any helpful hints or suggestions, my blood pressure would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you! :crazy:

Phu Puzzle
 

Ok I was pretty sure I had the numbers correct but apparently I don't so anyone who could help that would be great thank you.

I LOVE this thread!! Inspired me to try to finish the game after giving up in frustration many moons ago...

My main problem pertains to the maze puzzle with the ball on a string. How many levels are there? Every time I think I'm finished, I get thrown into ANOTHER maze.... Hitting those walls is driving me looney...and reminding me why I gave up in the first place, lol.

Hellllllllllllllllllllllp!
 

Hello, I bought Missing a couple weeks ago on a whim and I love it so far, but I've seem to hit a snag that's really frustrating me no matter how many walkthrough guides I have with me.

It's the one with the bug on the treadmill (looks like EVERYONE'S having trouble with that one, :lol: ) For the treadmill on the right, when I go to grab the second pill, the stupid bug runs away no matter how far away I keep my mouse from it! :frusty: I've tried exiting and re-entering the puzzle to try again, but no avail.

I hope I don't have to download a patch for this... :/

Hi everyone. I've been playing IM for about a week now and I've finally reached the final stage (I think :P ) but it won't let me continue! I'm having the same problem as Ou812 back on page 4 and figured I'd try his solution. Could someone pleeeeeeaaaase email me the following files as they show up as 0kb on my PC and they're giving me cyclic redundancy errors when I try to copy them off the installation CD:

p700_round.cxt
p700_typos.cxt
p701_doll.cxt


They're located in the Media\Dir\Cst directory.

My email address is [email protected]

Thanks in advance, I would really appreciate this!

What is going on with this bug? I've tried all the combinations on this thread and in the walk through but only get 8 on each treadmill. If you move slowly and don't touch the bug it doesn't run away so I got over that but like I said the only number the bug gets is 8. It's driving me made I can't bare to try any more I've been at it for an hour.

Done it
 

Never mind my last thread as I typed it came to me so am past it now.

Ouphist & Sothier
 

I hope you can help me with these two. I had to check the walkthrough for the answer for ouphist. I found all the way to the site that had Kasim Sari Kulic- Istanbul but I couldn't figure out how they came to the answer 185053. Can you tell me. Also, in Sothir, I converge the lights above Agim Sophia and nothing happens

agia sophia."[/spoiler]
 

Ok, I give....How is it done? It's driving me crazy.........and how do you get them to move and stay where you want them to???????????

Thanks
Browsermix

Agia Sophia
 

I am still stuck on this puzzle. Is there a special way to move the circles in order to get them into the dotted area?

Ok, I am at the second level of Terra now and still have NOT received ANY emails.

I just purchased this game on Thursday (Oct. 6, 2005) and installed it. When it would not connect to the server to register my username, I then installed the Patch, and it worked fine. I did then receive the email with my password but have not received any emails since then! I have checked my SPAM filters and folders, the emails were simply not sent (so it seems).

I have tried emailing their support without luck or any response in 3 days! It's killing me. I can still play the game but I feel like I am missing out on a huge part of the story, and even more importantly, the ability to get "swept up" into the game.

Thanks!
Priest

To the last few posters - sorry no one was able to help you.

I think this thread has become too long for its own good, so I'm going to close it. Anyone who has new questions about Missing / In Memoriam, please start a new thread.
