  Here's a visual for you as you search for The First to Rise:

  
  

  

  
  

  Just like you did for the Sleeper, you'll need to connect stars 1, 2, and 3 together with one line, and stars 4, 5, and 6 together with a seperate line. Nothing new or weird with this one. You've already had practice if you got the Sleeper correct! When you find it, here's what you'll eventually see:

  
  

  

  
  

  Isn't that fun, the Space Station decided to make an appearance in my screen shot! You'll see it floating around the stars, but it's currently got no significance to the plot. Once you've gotten the customary parchment paper that lets you know you've found a new constellation, you can head back to the Hall of Heros.

  
  

  Head on back to the Hall of Heros, and feel free to check out the First To Rise's blue gems- they're now glowing!

  
  

  

  
  

  And if you'd like, you can go ahead and click on the Janitor again. He couldn't possibly want to yell at you, right?

  
  

  

  
  

  Yikes, or he possibly could! It's be a really good time to visit Finneus again, don't you think? When you do, you'll find out that you've got pages 12-15 in the Book of Ages available for your viewing pleasure.

  
  

  

  
  

  The "list of preveious clues" he's collected for you are the images of your activated constellations. When you view the page for the first time, you'll see the Sleeper, Dreamer, and First to Rise. And as you activate more clues, you'll see more constellations on this page. Convenient, huh?

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Next, you'll want to head on over to the Astronomy Club. And not just for praise anymore either- they have an actual gift for you now! Here's what you'll see:

  
  

  

  
  

  Wow, that's an Astronomy Club Membership Badge! The good news is, it's an actual item in your inventory- the first item of the plot! The bad news (or nuetral news), is that you can't trade it or sell it. But you wouldn't want to do that even if you COULD, right? Right!

  NOTE: There have been reports of the Pant Devil stealing these badges, and so far, there is no way to get another one (as there was for the Useless Crystals during the LDP). Once you get your badge, it's a good idea to put it in your gallery, or SBD.

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  The fourth constellation we're looking for, is Florin the Farmer. Just as the other constellations, we've got to activate this constellation first in order to get it to appear in the night sky. Because I'm hoping you're a pro at this by now, I'm not going to put the entire "If you dont activate your constellation, it won't appear in your telescope" note in red. But I will post it. Obviously, seeing as you just read it. All right, enough of that, on with the activation process!

  
  

  On the main Altador map, you're going to click on an unmarked farmhouse first. I've marked it for you here:

  
  

  

  
  

  Horray, it's a farm! Florin the Farmer? A farm? It's all working! Right then, enough of that. Click where I've marked for you, right on the door of that windmill there:

  
  

  

  
  

  Once you're inside the windmill, you want to click on that lever to the left side of the picture. In case you need a visual, here you go:

  
  

  

  
  

  And what do you get for your troubles? Yelled at. Yeah, I can tell this guy is somehow related to the Janitor in the Hall of Heros. They both like to yell. Once you've heard your fill of how windmills do and do not work, click on the window I've conveniently marked for you:

  
  

  

  
  

  When you click on that window, you'll be presented with an image from the window, looking down into the fields. Those haystacks look mighty odd... if I were you, I'd click on one! And *should* anyone need a visual, just they're afraid of missing something, here it is. And yes, you only have to click on one haystack:

  
  

  

  
  

  Give me a break, I like pictures! When you've clicked on your haystack, you'll see that the constellation within is now glowing. That's a good thing.

  
  

  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  At this point, you'll want to return to Finneus in the Altadorian Archives. He'll have this to say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  Strange magics afoot ineed, Finneus! You're now ready to head back to the Observetory, and find the constellation as you've done before.

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  This one is a little tricky, so make sure you connect your stars properly. Here's the visual for you:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  I personally thought this one was the toughest so far, mostly because there's no pattern to it. A tip for this one, if you think you might see it, but keep submitting with no luck, keep trying. Especially when stars are close, it's hard to tell which star might be the right one. If you click a star that's just slightly off, it won't work. If you've tried everything and nothing has worked, it's a safe bet to move elsewhere in the night sky. And also keep in mind, stars 1, 2 ,3 ,4, and 5 are all connnected with one line. Star 6 is really the only one you've got to worry about- basically, make sure you connect it to Star 2 ONLY Star 2.

  
  

  Once you've found it, and gotten the customary "You've found another Constellation" message, you'll see the signature wheat image in the stars, that makes up the constellation of the Farmer:

  
  

  

  
  

  At this point, you can go ahead and click on the hidden link in Florin's statue. You'll see this:

  
  

  

  
  

  And should you feel complelled to talk with the janitor at this point, here's what he'll say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  And of course, after all this, you'll want to return to Finneus again. There's another chapter in the Book of Ages for you to read (about Florin of course), and Finneus will let you know about how his search for the other historical records are going.

  
  

  

  
  

  Your last stop, should you choose to make it (and I recommend that you do) should be to the Astronomy Club. Uh oh, seems they're not as impressed anymore...

  
  

  

  
  

  
  Well, *that* was rather odd. Wonder what's up with the President of the Astronomy Club? Is he up to no good or something? Or is he just jealous?

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Providing you've found your other four constellations, you're now ready to search for the newest constellation to be added: Sasha the Dancer. To start, you're going to want to head to the Altadorian Archives, and click on the bullitin board flier I've marked for you. Notice that it's no longer a picture of a potion, but rather a disco ball!

  
  

  

  
  

  
  When you click, you'll see that familiar Quiggle, and yet another note saying how he doesn't want you in this club either. Take a look at some of the lighter spots that are reflecting off the disco ball into the darkness- there's a few dots in there that are clickable. I've marked them for you. Click on one.

  
  

  

  
  

  
  When you do, you'll see this image:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  You're halfway there to activating this constellation! Onward you go!

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Your next stop in this neverending quest is to return to Finneus. He's conveniently located in the same building you're already in. Isn't that nice? When you talk to him, he'll have this to say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  Better listen to him. Go find that constellation!

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  

  
  

  
  This one is similar to the First to Rise, in that it's made up of two lines with three stars each. A suggestion on this one: make sure you're looking at the constellation the way it appears on that dance flier where you completed the first activation step of this constellation. If you somehow turn the constellation around (especially if you're searching for constellations by using pen marks on a clear plastic bag), its easy to get mixed up and miss the constellation.

  
  

  
  When you do find the constellation, you'll see in the night sky:

  
  

  

  
  

  Once you've found it, you can return to the Hall of Heros and check out the now glowing gems in the hidden link above Sasha's statue.

  
  

  

  
  

  You can also talk to the janitor again, if you wish. He'll say this to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  Of course he's upset again. He's...well... he's just like that. Return to Finneus now, and go ahead and read the new chapter in the Book of Ages about Sasha. And listen to what Finneus has to say:

  
  

  

  
  

  Your last stop will be to the Astronomy Club. When you enter, you'll see this:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  All righty, time for the sixth constellation! Your first stop is going to be the docks, located in the upper lefthand corner of the Altador map. I've marked it for you here:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  You'll see the docks, along with some rather strange little waves in the water. I've marked them all for you, but you only need to click on one:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  And when you've done that, you'll see this image:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Of course, you must talk to Finneus again at this point. When you do, here's what he'll have to say:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  And off you go to find the constellation!

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Here's your handy dandy visual:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  If you were one of those people who felt some of the easier constellations were too easy, you're in luck. This is a hard one. This one has even less of a defined pattern to it then the Farmer did! Your best bet with this one is to look for the diamond shape first (Stars 3- 6), and then make sure that Stars 1 and 2 are there as well. That diamond pattern is one of the best things you've got in this constellation. Look for that pattern carefully, especially in areas where stars seem to cluster together. More then once, I've found this constellation hidden among a group of seemingly random stars. Don't let the other stars through you off! And by all means, make SURE you connect this one properly! I originally connected it wrong myself and had to reconnect the lines in order to get things to work right. A bit of advice here, it's a good idea to use the ADD STAR tool first to highlight the stars you want in the constellation, then use the CONNECT STAR tool to connect them with lines. In this way, it's easier to see the stars you think are in your constellation, and you can make sure you connect only those stars. Once you do find the constellation however, here's how it'll look in the sky:

  
  

  

  
  

  You can go back to the Hall of Heros now, and look at the hidden link above Marak the Wave's statue.

  
  

  

  
  

  The janitor knows that you've activated another constellation too!:

  
  

  

  
  

  The janitor? Uncontrollable rage? Never! But enough of that, you've got to get back to the Altadorian Archives and speak to Finneus again!

  
  

  

  
  

  That's weird, the same magic has both stolen the history books, and is giving the clues to find the constellations? To quote the LDP, "...But what does it MEAN?!" Don't forget to read the newest chapter in the Book of Ages while you're here!

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Head to the Astronomy Club now. When you do, you'll be greeted by the members but totally ignored by the club president:

  
  

  

  
  

  But wait, what's this? A gift for you?

  
  

  

  
  

  Well, it doesn't seem like much, does it? Of course, don't stuff it in your SDB just yet- you're going to want to go to Donny's Toy Repair Shop on the top of Terror Mountain first! For a random amount of NP (mine was around 350 NP), he'll fix the Astrolabe for you! Once he fixes it, you'll end up with this:

  
  

  

  
  

  Ooooo.... it's so pretty! But we're not sure what to do with it yet. So go ahead and put it in your SBD before the Pant Devil takes it. Or before Sloth decides it would look better as a sludge.

  
  
  

  
  

  You're ready to activate and find the 7th constellation (that of the Gladiator). Start off by clicking on the Colosseum, which I've marked for you here:

  
  

  

  
  

  When you do, you'll see the Colosseum standing before you:

  
  

  

  
  

  You'll notice two rows of windows (on the ground floor and the second floor). All are clickable. Your goal here is to keep clicking on windows until you find the one with the Grarrl hiding in the shadows:

  
  

  

  
  

  There's no set window you need to click- it's random for everyone. The random window holding the Grarrl will also change every hour, so if you should get sent back to the Colosseum at any point, you'll have to start the search over. Once you've found the Graarl though, he'll offer you the chance to follow him to the Punch Club. Do so.

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Once you agree to go to the Punch Club, you'll see this:

  
  

  

  
  

  See that golden goblet on the table there, in between the second and third punch bowl? The one I've marked for you? Your goal is to turn that goblet into a clickable link. In order to do that, you must keep drinking punch from the three punch bowls on the table. The bowl on the left (near the Grarrl) is #1, the middle one is #2, and the far right one is being called #3. Here are all the possible patterns that may unlock the link in the golden goblet:

  111, 211, 311
  112, 212, 312
  113, 213, 313
  121, 221, 321
  122, 222, 322
  123, 223, 323
  131, 231, 331
  132, 232, 332
  133, 233, 333

  
  For example, if you decide to try the first pattern (111), you'll click the punch bowl closes to the Grarrl three times. If you decide to try the 313 pattern, you'll click the punch bowl furthest to the right of the table, then the one closest the Grarrl, then the one to the far right of the table again. So far, it seems that the correct pattern is random for each person, but if you try all of the ones listed above, you'll eventually find the pattern that works for you.

  
  When you find the pattern that works for you, click on the goblet to see this image:

  
  

  

  
  

  Click where I've marked for you, to reveal the constellation you're after:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  At this point, head back to Finneus in the Altadorian Archives again. He'll have this to say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  And with that, your constellation is active. Go to the Observetory and find it!

  
  

  
  
  

  
  

  Here's the visual you know you want to see:

  
  

  

  
  

  
  The good news is that this constellation is fairly easy to find because it's symetrical (meaning that if you were to split it in half vertically, both sides would be the same). The trick though, is that you MUST make sure that ALL the stars are connected. If youre using the CONNECT STAR tool that both hilights stars and allows you to connect them to other stars, you'll end up getting the submit button before the stars are all connected. For example, if you connect Star 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 together with the CONNECT STAR tool, you'll have six stars hilighted, but only five lines connecting those stars. You MUST connect Star 1 to Star 6 before hitting the submit button!

  
  

  
  Once you do it right, you'll get the notice you've found a new constellation and you'll see the following:

  
  

  

  
  

  As you make your way back down to the Hall of Hero's go ahead and stop at the Gladiator's Statue. Click on the hidden link, and you'll see that the gems above the statue are now glowing like the other constellations you've found:

  
  

  

  
  

  And should you feel compelled to talk to the Janitor, here's what he's got to say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  The the oppritunity to run away, back to the Altadorian Archives. Speak to Finneus, and don't forget to read the next chapter in the Book of Ages while you're there:

  
  

  

  
  

  So one of the heros is behind the disappearance of the books containing the Altadorian History, huh? Weird! Time will tell who's the culprit! But rather then worrying about that now, head to the Astronomy Club, and see what they've got to say to you:

  
  

  

  
  

  That mean Astronomy Club President may not be president for long, huh? Guess they wanted someone who can actually find constellations to lead them! Of course, you don't have the position yet, but things are looking good.
