WARNING: To give you a general idea, doing this method will require deleting some if not all items from your bag of your main habitarium, in some cases it will cause you to lose the buildings (but not decorations) on your board. It MAY cause your Habitarium's level to be reduced.

If you are okay with the above all whilst knowing that this method does NOT work for everyone then you can proceed to the step-by-step guide, but please do so at your own risk as it may not work at all.

• Step 1 - First you need to LOGOUT OF NEOPETS, then open 2 tabs in one browser. (You can use any browser that allows tabs such as Firefox or Chrome)

• Step 2 - Go to neopets.com on each tab, you should navigate to the login page on each tab by clicking on "Login to Neopets" on the top right of the page.

• Step 3 - In One tab, login to an alternate account, and start the Habitarium game. If the alternate account does not already have a habitarium you must first go through the tutorial before touching the other tab. IMPORTANT: If you are attempting this using a side.. once you have finished the tutorial do not continue to try level the side account's Habitarium up as that is against the rules! If a friend/family is helping then of course it is allowed to level it although not required in this guide.

• Step 4 - In the Other tab, login to your Main, and try to load Habitarium (it will not load yet - this is normal). Keep BOTH tab's open at all times.

• Step 5 - Now switch to the tab with the alternate habitarium and open the inventory bag. If you have been successful with this method so far then you should see items which are from your main accounts bag. Now its beginning to merge!

• Step 6 - Go through the bag and begin to delete items. (IF you have a MPET on your board you SHOULD delete ALL but 9 eggs - one of each type of each species so a Larnikin/Pinchit and Mootix Soldier/Worker/Nester = a total of 9 eggs! Unsure what a Mpet is? You can learn about them here) Whilst doing this you can occassionally refresh the tab with your main account's Habitarium but do NOT refresh the tab with the alternate accounts Habitarium as this will mess the process up. Some people have only needed to delete a few items whereas others have had to delete everything. It's up to you how far you are willing to go!

Eventually the two games will merge, you will know this is happening as odd behaviour can be observed. For example if you are a victim of the gem-lockout you might see gem's appear to pop up even though that account is not level 50, or you might see notices in the top left appear stating that your neofriends have repaired things for you. Another sign of merging is your main account's neofriend list appearing at the bottom of your alternate account's habitarium.

Another option you can attempt which can boost the merge is to purchase an item from the shop on the alternate habitarium, it is best to choose a cheap option such as a Cornmeal. Once you purchase this you may see the level of the alternate habitarium change to 50 if it hasn't already and when checking your resource count they should be your main habitarium's resources now rather than the alternates. REMEMBER to delete the item you buy after!

As you are going through this, you can try to refresh the Main tab again to see if it loads. You should make a habit of refreshing the main tab's habitarium on occassion.

• Step 7 - Some people may find their habitarium has unlocked already but this step is still provided as an extra action to take which could unlock your habitarium if you have been unsuccessful up until now. So, once ALL items have been deleted: On the alternate habitarium you should have a storage/building which was built during the tutorial (or if you are using a friends account for the alternate Habitarium then use one of their buildings!) Move the building around the alternate gameboard and continue to refresh your main Habitarium tab whilst doing this.

• Take the storage/building on the alternate Habitarium which was built and place it on the exact square where an identical building would be on your main Habitarium. So for example if you know that on your main Habitarium you had a storage in the top right corner, then on the alternate Habitarium you should drag a storage onto that same square on the alternate Habitarium (It must be the same building, so if using a nest you must drag it on a square that has a nest on your main), it is VERY important that you do not do the next step for at least one harvest cycle (generally 30-45 seconds), I personally would recommend waiting 2 minutes before attempting the next step. If you cannot remember where things were on your main then you can attempt to ask a neofriend to view your Habitarium through NF's and tell you where things were or take a screenshot.

(Attempt the following below whilst refreshing your Habitarium now and again throughout)

• On the alternate Habitarium move the building which you placed one square in any direction, now wait 2 minutes before moving on to the next step.
• On the alternate Habitarium move the building which you just moved, BACK to the square it was on before, again wait 2 minutes before moving on to the next step.
• Drag the building into your bag

What we are trying to do here is get the alternate Habitarium's building/storage to merge with the mains so what you're actually doing is first off merging the building and then dragging it into the bag (if it has worked then that would mean you have dragged a storage from your main Habitarium into the bag) which would be enough to unlock it!

If this doesn't work immediately for you then you can expand on this by moving the building between several squares that have the same building on your main. So if you're choosing a Storage, place it on each tile where there is a storage on your main (even try move it back and forth between those select tiles) and THEN put the storage in your bag. You could also attempt this using a House or a couple different buildings at one time. {Please Neomail Sralini if this particular step works for you as I am curious how well this will work for others based on how fast it worked for me each time.}

You will also need to know what type of layout your habitarium is as the alternate habitarium must have the same layout! As taken from the Habitarium Guide you can see the types of layouts and their names below:

From left to right: Seedling Grove, Blossom Meadow and Puddle Lake.

The alternate Habitarium should have some buildings already on the board before you begin but you should only need a few.

WARNING: The alternate account will not suffer any consequences however this method is NOT guaranteed to work and if it does work it is likely you will lose most of your buildings from the main habitarium. This method was designed to deal with Watch-it-die lockouts which contained NC items so please be aware you are likely to lose some of them. Again, this method might not work as it does not work for everybody!

To give a general idea of Patricia's patch method i will briefly explain. The Merge-Method as seen above lets you access your main items bag through an alternate habitarium by merging both of the habitarium's together. As well as this other things begin to merge, including the board. In some cases this can cause all the buildings to be removed from their main however some people have reported that they have gotten to keep their buildings.

By using Patricia's patch method you are taking advantage of the board merging. If you were able to find a suitable alternate (friend/family whom has a decent level habitarium of the same layout as yours) then you can begin following the steps below:

1. On the Firefox browser select "Tools" and then click "Clear Recent History".

2. Make sure the time range is set to clear everything, check all the boxes and click "Clear Now".

3. From the drop down menu make sure "the beginning of time" is selected and tick the appropriate boxes (as seen above). Then simply click on the "Clear browsing data" button.

1. Click the icon with the monitor and click to "Delete all sites".

2. Click the file with the green arrow icon and click to "Delete all sites".

If the MPET is sitting on tile 0, the nests must be empty so the nesters must first die off (which could take up to a week!)

After the nesters have died off, you will need to follow a similar pattern to the Patricia Patch method. (If you are not familiar with this method, please read over it here).

Just like merging with buildings, it's best to use an item from the alternate Habitarium which matches the MPET, meaning you will need to use an egg, alternatively if this is not an option you CAN attempt this with a nest but it is not advised. If using an egg, this will be a trial and error process as there are 9 types of eggs to choose from and you have no idea which one is the right one as they all look the same in the item bag.

• Step 1 - Merge the two Habitariums. (Step 1-6 of the Merge-method describes how to do this)

• Step 2 - On the alternate Habitarium, drag an egg (or nest) from the bag and place it on top of the same tile that has the glitched egg on the main Habitarium. Wait 2 Minutes (for the eggs to merge). Drag the egg back into the bag.

• Step 3 - Attempt to refresh the main Habitarium, if it does not load repeat Step 2 using another species/type of egg (You may need to do this upto 9 times waiting 2 minutes for each in order to get the correct species/type of egg). If you have used a nest then you do not need to repeat this process.

Jill's alternate solution: If you are suffering from a MPET, on the alternative Habitarium put an egg on the same tile as where the MPET is on the main. You must do this BEFORE logging into the main account.

A tile 0 MPET (the most common) can only be handled when all nests are empty.

• Step 1 - First wait until any eggs are fully incubated and then remove all the nesters from their nests and delete/discard/hatch the eggs.

IMPORTANT: MPET's have NO actions available on the board. So they must be deleted from the bag; however All eggs in the bag look identical.

• Step 2 - Check the item bag and count each species and job type of egg.

• Step 3 - Ensuring that all nests are empty, select the MPET and drag it into the bag. This will not be possible UNLESS the nests are empty.

• Step 4 - Do a recount of the eggs in the bag and find the category which has an extra one.

• Step 5 - Drag that type back to the board and the MPET will look different from all the others.

• Step 6 - Put ONLY the MPET one back into the bag, and since it should be the only one of it's type, delete it.
