Chapter 11;

Join with other users to prevent theMoltara Meltdown(aka, the possible end of Neopia!).

To expand images, drag them to the address bar!

Instructions;

  • After entering the cavern, you will need to wait to join a puzzle group.

  • When you have joined a group, the puzzle will be ready and the controls will appear.

  • Choose which direction you want to pull the machine, and then wait for the rest of your group to choose as well.

  • When all the players have chosen, the machine will move according to the forces applied by the group.

  • Continue choosing directions and pulling until the machine is balanced and the tube is attached correctly. Work quickly, though! If the group takes too long, the machine won't get attached in time and Neopia just might be doomed!

How to Play;

There will be a picture of the machine that needs to be fixed. Lava will be pouring out of one of the sides. All you need to do is click on the left and right arrows to apply either a left or right force. You need to work together with your team to fix the machine.

For example, if the machine is going to fall to the left, applying a force to the right would be a smart choice. However, if everyone is applying a force to the right, you may need to take the initiative of going to the left, therefore balancing the forces.

You need to wait an average of 10 minutes before you can play again! (it varies from 5 minutes to 12 minutes) Depending on how much you play, be it on the first try or the 20th try.

Your Reward;

11/19/09:Molten Rock
11/20/09:Fire Muffin
