Xanadu - The World's Only Hope, Part 2 - Revenge by XanMag

Xanadu Magoo - The World's Only Hope, Part II, Revenge
Type: Text Adventure (not a CYOA)
Size: 100+ rooms, 300+ interactive objects, 20+ locked doors, dozens of puzzles

In Xanadu Magoo - The World's Only Hope, Part I, You accompanied an old high school friend, Marcus Straussberger, on a routine mission to gather information at Dr. Dingo's last known whereabouts. Dr. Dingo is one of the most wanted men in the world and one of the most dangerous. Shortly after your mission had begun, you were violently separated from your friend, shot at, blown up, eliminated two black-robed assassins, climbed the largest tree ever, and eventually broke in to a heavily fortified terrorist compound to reunite with Straussberger, who you thought was your last chance to survive and return safely home. To your dismay, you discover that your friend is actually the one and only Dr. Dingo.

Do you, Xanadu Magoo, have what it takes to survive, get revenge, and escape an enemy compound?

'Part II - The Revenge' takes Xanadu Magoo on a zany, fun, and exciting ride where you will encounter dangerous enemies, pesky puzzles, and the comical and mischievous Blerk, an odd and suspicious creature, who may end up being your best chance of survival.

You are STRONGLY encouraged to:
1. Download this. It's a big game and sometimes big games are a tad slow if played online.
2. At the beginning of the game, type 'help' for common commands and 'about' to learn a small bit about the game.
3. Play the game on a desktop and with volume. There are a multitude of sounds and pictures that go along with the game.

Game Notes:
1. All 'display verbs' other than 'look at' have been removed. This game is meant to be typed NOT clicked. You can still click to navigate the player and to look at objects, but this game is designed as a true 'text' adventure.
2. Almost everything has a use. Take as much as you can.
3. When you are manipulating objects, try 'use ____ on ____' first if this seems appropriate. I have tried to include

I'm pretty stuck and could use some help. I have the following inventory:
Man Card
key fob E
notepad with pen
whistle
rat poison
blerks first note
wire cutters
stout blade
packing peanuts
metal plate
rubber band
glue hairpin
busted and taped thermal lunchbox
duct tape
key fob B
zinc metal
lithium
isopropyl alcohol
rotten food
wrench
salt
dead rat

I'm not sure if I have taken advantage of the warehouse effectively. I filled a spray bottle with water which was used to reduce some electricity in the vents. I haven't completed the mine, used the dead rat effectively, or figured out how to clear out the common areas, dining hall, lab, or infirmary. Any suggestions on next steps?

Thanks!

How do you disable the motorcycle? I have shrunk the tube and "used" it with the open gas tank, but cannot siphon out the gas. Is there something I am missing? A specific wording? Help! I am almost finished!

Hi
I seem to have missed the boat for this game and I know I'm very late but I'm really enjoying playing it so far. Unfortunately, I don't think I can go any further because the picture of Blerk's first note won't load, i just see a thumbnail. Any hints to get me past this hurdle would be most welcome :)

Great game so far! I do think I encountered a bug.

----------------Spoilers----------------------

I am weighted down enough to explore to the area above the lab, but I do not have the towel with me yet (i was scouting there to figure out what to do next). However, I am now stuck and have to reload my game, because the game is acting like I do have the towel and have used it, so it wont let me go down because there are people there but it wont let me go back se either because it wants me to drop the towel (that I dont have). Help?

I made fairly decent progress on X3 before hitting a massive wall made mostly from real-life bricks. My plan is to pick back up in the summer once school is over and these students will allow me time to breath. So, I look to complete the final 50-60% over the next 3 months.

Again, thanks so much for playing and I’m glad you enjoyed!

A very addictive game. The commands are definitely more consistent than Part I, although some of them still take a fair amount of experimentation to work right. The hint system is entertaining and fairly useful. The game design is the best part. It's very imaginative and satisfying to play!

Comment professor_who

25 May 2022

Finished! That last bit took me lots of experimentation to figure out, and, as usual, I was just missing one vital component of the solution. Thanks for the help along the way.

What's happening with Part III?

Comment XanMag

25 May 2022

Again… it’s 11:45pm here and I’m dozing off. I really need to make a habit of checking thins at other times of the day! But…

I think, if you think you’re ready, all you have to do is give Strauss the explosive. The explosive is a bit tricky as it requires a string soaked in a tnt mixture. He also needs an ignition source (which I think can be found in the lab). I believe that once he has the proper stuff to blow the door up, you will get a pretty obvious message. Hopefully Blerk is already prepared to join you in the garage for a getaway.

Comment professor_who

24 May 2022

OK...more progress. That command did work on the tires. I have also worked out the chloramine situation. The command was a little tricky, but I go there. I also think I have most of what I need to detonate the door, but I'm really stumped on how to transport the TNT. I've been through every item in the warehouse, but nothing there seems helpful. Am I missing something?

Comment XanMag

20 May 2022

Not sure if this will help but…

Chloramine is pretty toxic. You can make your own. Well… Blerk can make it. And from the sounds of it, you are in the right place. There is a one way swinging door that you can jam shut if you haven’t already. Also, so you don’t experience the effects of chloramine yourself, you’ll need to mask up first (and yes, I did have a little bugaboo I couldn’t figure out with the towel but but I don’t think it’s game breaking?)

As for the tires… I think you can stab them? ‘Stab tires with stout blade’ maybe? If that doesn’t work, I’ll check it when I get home (4 hours or so from now)?

Let me know.

Comment professor_who

19 May 2022

I'm making progress! I'm now at 66%, but I've hit an impasse where nothing seems to be working. *Spoiler Alert Ahead*

I know I need to do something with the towel and the bleach in the vent above the lab, but I don't know what. If I visit that spot with the towel, it tells me I can't leave with that nasty thing, even if I drop the towel. I think this is a bug, but it still gives me an idea of what I need to do. I can't think of any way to make it happen, though. Is there some interaction I'm missing, perhaps in the bathroom?

I've also disabled most of the vehicles in the garage, except the Ferrari and the ATVs. I have the ATV keys, but I can't figure out what to do with them. Use key ___ on ATV doesn't work... Also, I think I need to do something to the Ferrari tires, but I can't figure out what. Using the stout blade doesn't do anything.

I've tried just about every command in every place I can think of. Any hints would be appreciated!

17 May 2022

That did work. Looks like I was missing a component. It was confusing because it told me that the character was wearing the lunchbox even before I added that missing component. Thanks for the help!

Comment XanMag

17 May 2022

I have a bad habit of checking this right before I fall asleep. So, here goes my best guess as of now (I will check tomorrow some time on potential bug and exact needs):

Lunchbox needs holes.
Lunchbox needs “sealed”
Lunchbox needs ice
Lunchbox needs a BS solution

At this point, the lunchbox becomes wearable and you should be able to pass through the hot room in the vent maze as your little accomplice.

Let me know if this worked or not. Again, I will check tomorrow for sure.

Thanks for playing!

Comment professor_who

16 May 2022

Loving this game so far! I don't know if there's a bug here, though. I'm trying to wear the lunchbox. The game says I'm wearing it and that I can type "remove lunchbox" to take it off. However, when I type "remove lunchbox," it's saying that I'm not wearing them to remove them. Also, I can't go where I think I should be able to go... :( Am I missing something?

Comment bozwellox

Right, so I now have the thread (thanks XanMag!)...but I'm immediately stuck again!

I've handed over the required items to *character name* but when I try to give him the lighter he won't take it, suggesting I have to use if for something else first. I'm guessing this is the bunsen burner, which I've lit already. I can't work out what I'm supposed to do with the bunsen burner, I don't seem to have anything in my inventory that interacts with it, nor can I find anything else.

What do I need to do to progress to the point I can use the lighter for the fun bit!?

Comment XanMag

11 Apr 2019

Okay. My curiosity got the best of me and I couldn't sleep until I answered this question. I opened up a new game and ported my character to the room where the long thread could be found. I opened an item (one of the like-items) in that room and the thread was there. It is not an unlikely place to find a thread. If you check this unsaid item in your own home, you might find one there, too.

It should work. Please let me know either way. With the coding in the game it might be possible that once you have used this item once, which I think you have... it could have possibly screwed something up, but... I hope not and I don't think so.

Let me know if you need a more obvious hint. Thanks again!

Aaaarghh...so I'm 85% complete and I'm wondering if I've hit a bug?

I speak to the certain someone in the maximum security cell and typed (anonymised to prevent spoilers!) "tell *character name* about tnt". And it then says "You tell *character name* about the thread you have in your inventory".

I don't have any thread in my inventory, nor can I find any.

If anyone is reading this, care to help me out please?

I've enjoyed this game so much over the last couple of days but I'm worried I've broken it and won't be able to get to the ending!

Love this game so far, but I'm thoroughly stuck!

I've managed to "do the unthinkable" in the bathroom and gained access to the janitor's room. I understand that I need to do something to the water supply somehow, but I have no idea how to get to it. In fact I'm totally stuck with the only areas I can access being the corridors, the cells, the bathroom and the janitor's office (where I can access the metal tunnels above, but can't seem to get anywhere useful as I can't fit).

I can't gain access to the common room, infirmary or dining hall.

Help!

Hey, so I've gotten pretty near the end but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get an object to hold the zinc or TNT, how to disable the motorcycle, or where to use the wire cutters. I also have yet to gain access to the infirmary (unless this is the same things as the Doctor's Office). Oh and idk what to do with the anklet (or maybe I just drag it along with me). Any hints would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Finally got around to playing this - Whew had I been missing out! WARNING - Do not play if you can't/won't think, you give up easily after 5 seconds, you believe all women are good, or you just plain hate having a good time. Otherwise this game is a must. Please show your appreciation by giving it the 5 stars it deserves and have all your friends do the same (your mother too....ehem).

P.S. A game as large as this will have a few quirks so be sure to create backups often (especially if you naturally or purposefully break things, like me). Some areas I found "quirky": lab vent, "thermal pants", and hijacking depending on the order of actions. This is why I didn't give this game more stars.......just kidding I would give it more if I could.

@rcsjr,
Thank you so much for the kind words. It really does persuade me to make progress on X3. For some goofy reason I decided coaching HS basketball was a great idea and my time to 'game' is limited. I will make huge progress on the game over XMas break so I hope it is ready to test around that time. Thanks again!

Comment rcsjr1951

04 Dec 2016

Went back and played this one again since I was impatienly waitinng for the third instalment. It only took me aa couple of hours to get through the first one. This one took me over two days despite my maps and notes. Being in too much of a hurry I overlooked something simple. But in the process I became more familiar with the game and came across some dialouge that I had misssed in my earlier atteempts. This is by far one of the best games I have played to date. Truly worthy of a FIVE STAR ! Fantastic game which I will look forward to playing again.

Comment rcsjr1951

26 Nov 2016

I would be happy to beta test it for you. I have been helping another group of gamers beta test their game as well and have had a great time doing so. I reccomennd that you try out their game. "Who Goes Furthrer." It is a remake of a previously subminted game with some tremendous tweeks that make it a strong competiion for your games. By the way I checked out the "Into the Dragon's Den". It was neat but not nearly as long or as engaging as these games. Keep up the good work. If you are looking for Beta testers I will be glad to provide you with my email.

Comment XanMag

26 Nov 2016

Ha. Real life is dumb! Lol. I didn't realize I would get so busy. I'm hoping for a late 2016, early 2017 release. This will be a traditional Xanadu game with battle type elements. The battle type elements are what is holding it up as I haven't implemented these in my previous games, but I feel they are necessary for the final showdown with the enemy boss and their cohorts! It will be the best of the bunch for sure but I want to make sure I get it right. Check the forums periodically as I will be asking for beta testers when the time is right, but don't expect that for a month or so. Thanks for the inquiry! If you haven't already, check out "Into the Dragon's Den". I really like this lighter-hearted adventure. Thanks again!

Hey ZanMag:
Ive been looking forward to the third part of this fantastic game. Earlier you indicated that it would be done by the end of October? Is it still in the works? I'm sure it will be even better that the first two. They both deserved 5 star ratings. Hope to see it soon.

Comment XanMag

07 Nov 2016

Shameless plug...

In the comments section, rcsjr1951 stated that he meant to give this game a 5-star rating, but it has not been switched yet. So, don't let the 4-star average dissuade you from trying this game. It's long and difficult, but with the built-in hint system, you shouldn't run into too much trouble working your way through it. Save often!

Playing the first game isn't required, but it wouldn't hurt either! Happy gaming!

Comment rcsjr1951

04 Aug 2016

The built in hint system is a blast. More entertaining than helpful but it least it lets you know if your heading in the right direction. Thanks to the hint system I was able to learn how to interact with Blerk. I probably would have never pieced that one together. Of course once you get to the computer all of the hints are readily available. A few hints were real helpful such as how to deal with the kitchen lady and the shower. The ability to interact with Blerk really made your game stand out well above and beyond other games that I have played. This is one that I will definitely go back and replay again and again. Really looking forward to the finale.

Comment XanMag

03 Aug 2016

@rcsjr1951,
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I assume the built-in hints came in handy? If I may ask, did you feel yourself relying on them too much? :)
The finale is in the works and I hope to have it finished by the end of October. Don't worry about the rating. I'll mail Alex and hopefully he can change it.
Again, thanks for the review and kind words. If you get bored and want a change of pace, give "Into the Dragon's Den" a try. Much different pace and easier, but I really enjoyed writing it and playing it. Thanks again!

Just completed the game! Fantastic. cant wait for the next part. Posted a review but did not notice the star rating until after I posted it. My apologies. It should have been a five star. That is only because only five are allowed. I Would be happy to assist if you need more beta testers for the third game. Thanks

By far one of the best games I have played in years. Very reminiscent of the old Info-com games only a scale that can be compared to watching Star Trek and then jumping into Star Wars. Very challenging even more so than the first installment but not impossible. Great story line and a twisted and enjoyable sense of humor. Can't wait for the third part of this series!

Absolutely the best game I have ever played on textadventures thus far!!
A truly five star game in quality, difficulty, and enjoyment.
The built-in hint system not only gives the user a chance to figure things out on their own without jumping to the forums, but also does not detract from the difficulty of the game because the clues are still quite cryptic.
This is by far not an easy play, but it is in fact consistently fun and puzzling.
XanMag I tip my hat to you on this one!

I see, yes, I found the container to put the powder in. I had just been carrying it around in the mortar I suppose, and when I dropped it I was not able to pick it back up. problem solved.

Comment XanMag

30 Mar 2016

You do need a proper container to carry the zinc powder. You'll need to empty a relatively worthless, sturdy, cylindrical container from the warehouse. So, I don't think that's an error? Correct me if that makes sense but you believe to be a mistake please.

Once you have the three pieces of the code (all found on post-it notes in the game, which are found in the three 'big names' offices) you should be able to use the panel. The correct password will trigger an alarm which would be your distraction. BE WARNED though. The wrong password will end the game.

Of note, you cannot 'use the panel' until you have given Strauss all the needed supplies AND told Blerk of your escape plans. If you have done that AND know the password AND disabled all the vehicles except the one you intend on using...

You should be home free!!

Comment Jamex

30 Mar 2016

So, working on my escape plan, could I have a hint as to how to create a distraction, which is what I think I need to do next? (Side note, if you drop the Zinc powder, it does not let you pick it back up, it says "you do not have a container to hold the powder". I had to go back to a previous save)

Comment XanMag

30 Mar 2016

LOL @ the grinding M&M's part. There is a bit of coding confusion there! For now, just pretend it says "Even though the mortar and pestle contains something, you feel like it is not the right something that you need to grind."

Take everything out of the mortar and pestle and you'll need to place something in there that when ground into a powder it can be flammable. You can find this in the chemical warehouse. Read the book in there if needed. Start at the back end of it.

As for the motorcycle, you'll need to remove the gas from the tank. For that, you'll need a tube and your own lungs. But... that dang tube is too big!! It'll need shrunk. Heating it should work, right? There's a nice heat source in a small, unoccupied room just a few rooms away. If you don't have the tube, you can find it in one of the automobiles in the garage.

Ask if you have more questions. Again, thanks a ton for playing!

Hi again,
FINALLY got the math puzzle, just wasn't coming to me. Now I'm a little lost as to what to do next.
I've disabled almost everything in the garage except the motorcycle, and just can't figure out what to put in the gas tank. Also, every time I try and put something in the mortar and pestle, it will say "Done.", however when I try to then Use the mortar and pestle, I will get a message saying, "There is nothing in there to grind!" Even though the description of the mortar and pestle says this, for example:
"This is a ceramic mortar and pestle. It is used to grind things into a powder. It contains M & M's"

Wow. Somehow I uploaded my last beta-tested game over my final 'ready-to-publish' game. Sorry about that! Dang. Much apologies.

Okay. I assume you are NOT playing the incorrect download version, but rather the first one you downloaded. Which was correct with minor publication changes. I don't even think the room with the puzzle was completed in the one with the error you mention. So...

As for the math puzzle... the individuals are the letters, the symbols below the quote are math symbols with (hopefully) obvious meaning and in order, the page number contains the numbers required for the math functions for each bit of text. '*' on page '234' equals 2*3*4 = 24 = the 24th individual (or letter) in the quoted paragraph. Those letters in order equal the password. Double check this forum link to see a picture of the math puzzle. If you still need more hints, let me know!

Comment Jamex

22 Mar 2016

As an aside,
I re-downloaded the game after the update, and now the wrench doesn't disappear, it stays even after its job is done, and there is a part in the ventilation system just over the laboratory where it will glitch and not let you leave if things are done in the wrong order:
**SPOILER** If the bleach is mixed and towel is tried (before the mask is attained) in the vent above the laboratory, it will then not allow you to leave to room. It will repeat over and over something like "You can’t leave with that disgusting towel" Even if the bleach and towel are dropped. Luckily I had a save before that.
Also windy vent if accessible without wearing tool belt and just by having dumbbell in inventory.

22 Mar 2016

Hey,
just got to your math puzzle, and its kind of confusing..
I've read the book, got the quotes, and even after reading the hint section about ten times, still don't see the formula for calculating this mathematical equation. Maybe a clarification of what needs to be done? I have no problem with math, I'm just not sure what your looking for here.

Oh no... you seem to have found a bug. Hopefully you have saved it somewhere near before you dropped the land mine. It seems that I forgotten to make the land mine takeable. Let me know.

You can only get in the commons area after you have done something else. Did you get the axle? If so, drop it through the slot into the garage (bc it's too big to carry through the vent, right?)

Comment Jamex

16 Mar 2016

Also, I cant seem to get into the commons area at all. Is it possible to have missed a window of time that I could have got in? (I have the disguise, and earlier in the game heard the Dingoes talking, did I have to try and enter then??)

Comment Jamex

16 Mar 2016

Just wondering,
I dropped the land mine thinking that I could just pick it back up, and it wont let me pick it up now.
It is in the janitor's closet, I'm pretty sure that's not where it is supposed to be set.
Did I just ruin the game?

Comment XanMag

15 Mar 2016

Ah. I didn't consider that you might be able to get the stout blade before the other object you need for this! I'll make an adjustment before an update, but for now...

>use stout blade on lunchbox
That would make sense, but the blade is pretty wide and would tear big, irreparable holes in the box. You probably need to find a slimmer instrument for this. =)

By the way, the instrument you need is in the kitchen. Look at the major appliances in there. And again, I assume you have created a distraction in the kitchen?

Comment Jamex

15 Mar 2016

Is the Stout Blade what needs to be used for this?
Because I have everything else ready to go, but cant seem to figure out how to make the holes.

14 Mar 2016

So... I'm glad you haven't given up yet! Keep going!

Maybe I lied a bit when I said previously there are 2 hard parts - there might actually be 2.5 with the half being the cooler you are currently working on =) Sorry.

I'll assume you have sneaked into the kitchen and been a disruption enough to get into the pantry? If not, don't read the following until you get the items from the pantry.

tape, knife, ice...
baking soda, vinegar...
empty into cooler...

This should do the trick.

As for the computer, I'll assume you found the slip of paper in the office that reads "Password Reminder: split # of rooms in the "ring" with my nickname". The rooms in the ring is equal to the number of rooms that run around the commons - I believe it is two less than the legal driving age in the US. Split that number in half placing the first digit at the front and the last digit at the end. His 'nickname' can be found on the engraving on the picture frame in his office. It is case sensitive.

Good luck and keep asking questions. I'm sure that there is AT LEAST one more coming! =)

Hey, me again....
I have to say, this game is pretty hard even with the built-in hint system. Very addictive though.
So having said that, I am stuck on figuring out how to make the thermal cooler. I'm pretty sure I have everything I need, but nothing seems to work to put it all together. I just cant progress past this.
And I also cant access the computer, I don't even have a clue, even with the clue.

Glad to know I have been heading in the right direction. I know exactly what I need to do, however I am having a problem with things "sliding off".....so I assumed I was doing it wrong.

There are what I would consider to be two really hard parts in the game. You are on the first of two. Without giving too much away...
1. Your assumptions are right. You need to tamper with the water supply. Your solution is also in the janitor's closet.
2. But... how to get it there? Your wimpy arm isn't good enough and you can't go through the dining hall to get to the water source. Sounds like a GIANT problem, DAVID...
3. To complete the task, you need one of Blerk's treAsures combiNeD (VS) with a tool you can find in the filthy restroom (you disgusting pig, but at least you didn't filth up the near stall!!) and a contaminant (poison perhaps?) for the water. Then you should be able to sling something poisonous into the water supply.

If this is not obtuse enough, ask again and I'll be glad to help further. I am curious to know once you are done with this if you think it is too hard. I struggled with that, but that's why I felt obligated to include the built-in hint system and in retrospect, I probably should have included hints for this tough part of the game!!

Thanks for playing. I look forward to your full and honest review!

Thanks for your help, I realized what I was overlooking, and have now progressed further.
Two things I thought maybe you would like to know about:
1) Very small mapping error in Ventilation System, one of the NE directions takes you E into the room beside it.
Very minor though, does not affect the game.
2) When in the Warehouse, examining or "looking at" the Sugar gives the description of Borax. Again, very minor, does not interfere with the game.

I am stuck again......sigh.., could you give me some sort of hint on how to clear out the dining hall?
I know it has something to do with the water, but for the life of me I cant figure out how to get access to their water supply.

Barring an error, which there shouldn't be (I just played it through to that point), you're overlooking something simple, I think. There is something in the janitors desk you need. Once you get it, it should be obvious what to do with it.

I appreciate the question, but remember there is a built-in hint system. Just type hint. And then type the room you need a hint for. 'Hint'. 'Enter'. 'Janitor'. 'Enter'. You'll see hints that pop-up which you will then need to highlight to read. Let me know if you run into any problems or let me know when you beat it!!

Good luck!

Hey, great game! No issues so far, but alas I am stuck. Have been for days.
*Spoiler* Maybe.
I have mapped out the whole complex, been into the janitors closet, and have just been going round and round, cant seem to figure out how to progress. I'm at 18%, and have completely run out of ideas, even to ask about.
Any help would be much appreciated. Again, great game!
