Mea Culpa: No More Golden Compass

Okay, so the absolultely irritating Golden Compass gave me a surprise last night -- I got the Lyra Belacqua Achievement (100G) out of nowhere while replaying the London chapter. It turns out that the game's journal makes you think there are more questions to find than there actually are by showing placeholders for questions that aren't in the game.

ERGHH!!

I was able to find 4 more symbols last night, leaving only 2 more to find:

  • Sun (first sense, meaning "day"); and
  • Serpent (third sense, meaning unknown, but is probably "natural wisdom" from the books)

If you've found either of these, please let me know where you found them!

I had a thought that I might know where to find sun, causing me to take a quick trip into the game again this morning, but that was a dead-end lead.

I hate to leave 150G on the table when I'm so close, but honestly, this game is so juvenile, so insipid, so BAD... I just don't have the stomach for it.

I may take a quick look online to see if there is a walkthrough or FAQ, but if not, I'm done with this thing for good.



PS: If I *did* know where those last two symbols were, I could put together a no-spoiler, no-frills walkthrough that will get you through all 1000 points in under 8 hours. That way I can limit the suffering of any point hound that gets cornered by this dog.

Anybody interested?
