Blair wips project - need help

[Frank]

Anyone completed the Blair Wicp Project yet?
I'm totally stuck. Can't even get these people over the river.

[Cassius]

step by step guide for ya:

1)cast gust and gather wind on island with blair wisp to clear fog(i used weather witch and aether)

2)Cast thuderclap/rain/gather wind at same time near the tree across river to knock it down (you may need to just leave your ghoss casting till it happens(i used weather witch one of the water spirits and aether). Also i think quake can be used to do this aswell

3)while mortals at river edge cast hynotic image with blair wisp to get them to cross river to his island and then cast strange vision while they there to free him

4)put 2 ghosts with ice breath at the bear traps to the east(i used blue murder and terror eyes) and cast ice breath with both of them to free the area and the small river to the east

5)lure the mortals to the fire spirit camp and they will light a fire while its cold and free him

6)use blair wisp hypnotic image to lure the mortals over the frozen part of the river and once they are all across the river tell one of ghosts to stop casting ice breath to unfreeze the lake and prevent they crossing back

7)They will find there own way to the cabin providing the tree is knocked down and then once they are there use the darklings obsession power to lure them down and mission complete

I actually found it easier when after freeing the wisp to place him by the knocked over tree and use the hynotic vision thing again...then the ppl would cross over on the island and the over to the tree - a bit easier than usng the whole ice procedure

Thanks for the tips. I used Quake (Stonewall) to tip the tree, Tempest (Whisperwind) to clear the fog on the little island with the Blair Wisp. Had Blair Wisp cast Hypnotic Image to lure the makers there, then Strange Vision to free it. Then I used Icy Breath (Terroreyes) to make the filmmakers lights the fire and release Sparkle. A second Icy Breath on top (Knuckles) froze the stream, allowing the filmmakers to cross and get to the house. Then I cast Obsession (The Darkling) to get them in the basement. Result was a time just below 10 mins, 5 pumpkin heads, and 4019 score. Not too bad if I may say it myself. I think that if you time it, you can cut about 2-3 mins off the time though =)

i already tried to use hypnotic vision or obsession to get them to cross the island. they get scared just entering the water, except on one instance (i havent discovered what did i do)

Couple ways to deal with this...

see, for some reason, the obsession or siren song power will make them begin to go to the island, but the water scares them back.

However, hypnotic image is more potent (because it's sight only). So what you need is to cast both hypnotic image and siren song. The song is just to get them to actually SEE the hypnotic image.

The other way to handle it, is bind fingers to the crypt on the island. Set his orders so he only casts the power he's set on at the time.

Now cast obsession / siren song / whatever to lure them out, and when they get to the water edge, set fingers to unearthly calm.

Note however the calming spell costs a lot of plasm. You won't be able to have much more than 1 other ghost bound while he uses it, and hopefully you can get enough so they can use their "mortal summoning" method as well. Blue Murder can come in handy for this, since she's a "rank 3 ghost" (vapors I think they're called) which means her powers are cheaper than say the darkling's), and she can be trained both intrigue and one more 'obsession-like' power that I forget the name of offhand.

At any rate, the point is hypnotic image alone SHOULD get them to the island once they see it, but if you manage to get an unearthly calm blanketing the island, almost any method is pretty sure to lure them there.

If you are quick off the mark at the start of the level, the mortals come as close to the island as they can and peer at it.

So quickly get rid of that green murk and get the Hypnotic Image going when the mortals are waiting there looking at the island.
