Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City

I need help.Could somebody tell me wat r al the milestones.TY.:D

Drag the tribal chief to the food bin and he will create some magic food but he can create this only every 24 hours once created..

Banishing the Sharks. You will need to have completed Puzzle 3 and have at least Level 2 in your chosen faction, Nature or Magic.
For NATURE: collect the following herbs for a potion: 2 X Black Orchid, 1 x Pitcher Plant.
For MAGIC: collect the following herbs for a potion: 2 X Rose, 1 x Berry. Have an adult villager (not a nursing mother) drink the potion. He/she will take a vial to the ocean. How the sharks are actually dealt with depends on the faction chosen (the nature potion is a shark repellant, the magic potion "charms" the sharks so they won't bother the villagers).

For magic level 2 you get the magic berry located to the left of the research lab. For the statue you need level 3 of restoration and level 3 of leadership.

Use it when rainning. Pretty simple.

Puzzle 4 is 'Roster of the dead'.
Clear away all the leaves and there it is!

You need 1 rose 1 cactus 1 lotus.

They will feel light and springy

They are just random

my builders have stoppped working on the statue. i have got plenty of food, no sick people. lots of villagers ranging from trainee builder to master builder and my chief is of average age but i still cant get them to build. it is stuck at the top. i have all my research complete. does anyone know how to get them working again. my chief wont start directing work again.

To get the chief to not stop directing work, you have to 1. make sure there is a lot of food so the chief does not worry
2. make sure there is no sick. 3. if the chief is older than 14, there are no more problems. 4.if the chief is below 14, they are most likely to wander off to make sand castles or something.

that is all that i know and i think that is all the problems

I am having trouble getting a Chief as well... I have tried young old and all in between. I waited until they have grown up as well. Is there a trick? boy-girl-boy? When it's raining? when it's foggy? Should it be a desendent from the Chief? H E L P !!!!!

The herbs you need are 'rose, cactus and lotus.

you have to use a potion to get the pink key. sorry but I dont know the combenation:( if you get the potion it will say they feel light and springy. take them to the key. if it says trying to reach the key it is working.hope this helps:)

If this happens again just lift them up to knock the 'spell' off of them. Have them do something else.

Go to OPTIONS you should find the answers you need there. I place my game on pause when I know I will be away for a while.

Just go to Options in the Main Menu and select pause. From here you can also play the game at different time speeds - slow, normal or fast.

Hit the spacebar to pause the game

The game can be paused by going to the Menu (lower left corner), Options on the main page, and select pause or slow your game down. You aren't able to save- it continues whether you are playing or not. When you want to resume the game, go to Play on the main page.

you press space button and that's your pause, an you can't save....the playing goes on even when you're not playing, except when you pause your game before quiting

Go to menu and click pause

You can pause it by pressing the space bar while you're in play mode or in the menu, you can select pause. It will save automatically, the game keeps playing even when you aren't unless you select pause, so keep that in mind. Hope this helps!!

to save= sapcebar

press space bar to pause. then go to the main menu and it should show a save option

When you go into the main menu click on options. You will see a game speed option. Select "Paused" option and your game will stop where you left it. Then the next time you play go back into the main menu and select the speed that you wish to play the game in.

Hope this helps!

I finished the first game, and am thinking the third one sounds better than the second one. Comments? Maybe I will skip #2....

You need to put the chief at the bottom of the path, and he will start directing work.

You can have your builders 'fix/ repair' the huts. You have to watch them, it takes time. They will gain experience this way. Hope this helps.

if you have already built everything, you can still train your villagers by dragging them to a hut. It will then say fixing or examining hut.

They can earn more skill in the building area by doing this.

I dont think the game is supposed to end... you can just restart a new one.

One of your villagers needs to start healing, then when the alchemy room is restored, the villagers can start using the room where the hay is covering the floor above the bath and rubble area. They start practicing medicine just the same as scientists.

Kids are the best healers! When you have a sick villager, drop any kid on them. This gets them some doctor experience even before they start work! I have one that when they turned 14, they were already an adept doctor.

In the detail field, check off the healing box. When a villager gets sick, drag the healer to them until the screen reads "healing someone".

When your villagers are sick, you can select a villager to heal them. As they heal, they gain skills. You can also place them in the sick area (where the beds are) near the table and they will study medicine. You will need level 2 to be able to have a doctor study. hope this helps

To acquire a dr. you need to keep a villager at the medicine table (on right bottom). You must also have level 2 medicine.

I found mine next to the wall, down from the cactus where the scientists are. hope this helps

I found mine on the right side of the map, below the pink gem next to the rose plant and other plants.

To find the knife, take one of your adept scientists (or master) and go around the edge of the game. On one of my games, I found it along the edge of the plants down near the bath. On another one I found it on the ground over near the rose plant. Keep looking, you'll find it.

look near the bathing pool or inj the grave yard sometime it hidden in the brush or near the rubble that needs clearing

how do I make more food, honey pot all gone and tree all gone? help my people are starving

for nature you need two black flowers and the secret flower for magic you need two roses and the secret berries

You must be on your second level. When you get there and make the correct potion your villager will take it to the sharks. Mine took the berry plant. The magic side takes the pitcher plant. These are available only when your Nature or Magic choice is on the second level.

Banishing the Sharks: You will need to have completed Puzzle 3 and have at least Level 2 in your chosen faction, Nature or Magic.
For NATURE: collect the following herbs for a potion: 2 X Black Orchid, 1 x Pitcher Plant.
For MAGIC: collect the following herbs for a potion: 2 X Rose, 1 x Berry.
Have an adult villager (not a nursing mother) drink the potion. He/she will take a vial to the ocean. How the sharks are actually dealt with depends on the faction chosen (the nature potion is a shark repellent, the magic potion "charms" the sharks so they won't bother the villagers).

What arrow are you talking about????????

To get rid of the sharks, you have to have level 2 of your faction. I picked the nature faction. That gives you a new berry where the kids go when "nature calls". It takes one of those and 2 black orchids. Once that potion is made your villagers will need to take that to the water to get rid of the sharks.

This game would be fun if you could speed it up. There are three speeds and it seems to me that "slow" and "fast" are about the same. The game is cool...but really, I will be 150 years old before I can finish it. NOT WORTH $20 unless you want to die of boredom because you have nothing to do while this game plods along at an EXTREMELY slow pace.

You can't keep your villagers from getting weak but you CAN make them healthier with potions. The combo you want is 3 cactus.(I would use a master scientist to mix it) However, they must have a lot of food in storage (about 200 or more)You can also use 2 cactus and 1 lotus BUT this one explodes sometimes thus weakening your villager even more AND sending everyone running out of the lab. good luck.

You make strengthening potions for them to drink. If you've chosen the magic side, here are some potions that add health:

Lotus + Lotus + Cactus
Lotus + Cactus + Cactus

Once you've made the potion, drag the weak person over the cauldron to make them drink it. It will increase their health and make them feel better.

To keep them from GETTING weak in the first place, make sure you have enough food for them to eat. Children and the elderly get weaker more quickly with lack of food.

Hope that helps.

Where are you in the game, and how old are the villagers?

I don't know how the rest of you have the patience for this game! I love VV, but the fact that you have to have so many tech points to do anything is beyond frustrating. I left my game on fast overnight, and my people still only gained 20,000 Tech. I've been playing for a week, and I'm on my second chief, and my people are still on the third house, and are earning tech points so slowly that I'll never be able to get to level 3 of leadership and medicine. It is rediculous that it should take like 2 days to earn enough tech for one item, when there is nothing to do in the meanwhile. I just go into the game to make sure everyone is still working and that my population is still up. Maybe there is something wrong with my game, but it is not really any fun anymore, when all I can do it wait. And now I have to 'babysit' my kids' villages, too.

4. yes.
3. It took me forever to get the crystal out of the fireplace. Make adults touch the crystal, then drage them to the waterfall. It seems to take lost off water to cool if off. Eventually, it won't be too hot and one of them will pick it up for you and put it in the door.

What I want to know is how are we going to get the one on top of the cliff. The fruit up there looks tasty as well!

I cannot figure how to get a doctor, please let me know....thanks

When my villagers were still dependent on the honey and fruit from the trees as their only source of food (before I was able to make the anti-shark potion) I kept them alive by having my kids search for mushrooms. If you can do the rain dance, this can give enough food to get them by for awhile. I just did the rain dance over and over again, and then took a kid all around the island until we got all of the mushrooms. It also helps not to have too large of a population until you are able to get rid of the sharks.

you have to have 3 at least adept builders who will repair tha lift for you ~ then ~ when it rains, set a villager onto the lift, when he rises up a seed will fall from the tree. The first 2 seeds will be oplanted for another 2 trees, after that they're stored as food ~ hope this helps :)

I'm getting frustrated, too. I have everyone on research trying to gain more tech points, but eventhough I have science it seems like they are going slower! I've got only about 17K tech points, and my people are going to starve to death. I heard that you can get the shark potion with alchemy, but I'm afraid to waste my tech points on it without knowing the formula ahead of time. Any help on the shark formula-without the pitcher plant/magic berries? Please? I love this game, but if my people starve to death I will not keep going--I've spent too much time on this to start over without any gained knowledge about it. TIA!

The Ash Key. Later in the game (after at least one fire cycle - 10 hours on fast speed), you will notice sparkles around the fire. Let your fire go out (do not replenish it with firewood) - a diamond will appear in the ashes. The diamond will be too hot to pick up initially (it was in a fire, don't forget). To cool the key, drop adult villagers on the rightmost of the two waterfalls (where they go to drink and do laundry). They will gather water and drop it on the key. They will need to do this several times (8-10, at least) to make the diamond cool enough to touch - your villagers won't repeat this task on their own, so you will have to make them do it by dropping them on the waterfall. When the villagers no longer bring water to the fire (they'll revert to drinking from the waterfall when you drop them on it), drop a villager on the key - they will take it to the door and solve the puzzle. You will need to repeat this step if they drop the key before reaching the door.

have somebody go to the waterfall and they will have a bowl an fill it with water. you have to do this several times.

Where is the black orchid plant?

you drag your villagers over to the waterfall it will say getting water to put on fire kepp getting it unti it cools,use more then one villager

You have to make the villager pick up one of those burnt out torches, he/she will take it to the fire, and will get smoke go back and put in hive.

You have to make one of your villagers pick up one of the torches close to the beehive. He will then "be thinking about an idea" and finally set the torch on fire, take it to the beehive and make the bees flee. After that, they can get honey.

you have tto put a villager on top of the sticks by the beehive,which he will take to the fire,and will smoke ,which will calm the bees down. then bring the same villager back.and he will begin to harvest the honey

There are tourches by the bee hive. Get one of them to pick it up and they will light it and smoke the bees. Then you will be able to collect the honey.

you have to have restored the alchemy lab and then you use cactus rose and the lotus. the cactus is by the alchemy lab, the rose is by the key and the lotus is by the bath. Emily

Since you have finished the game, tell me what I am doing wrong. I have completed everything and seen the ghosts, many time, watched the movie about 5 times and still my game does not end. Am I missing something?

1. how to solve the aroma therapy?
2. how to move the statue?
3. do you need upgrades to do this stuff? im all in level 2.

need your help tnx...

For the aroma therapy, the doctor needs to light the torches as well

Yes, it's possible--I'm on my 4th chief. It's possible for the chief to be young or old, male or female, and it's also possible for the chief to make babies.

you have to have your other villagers try on the robe and then it will fit one of them.

The statue seems to take forever to finish but be patient. It took about 3 days (on and off) for my statue to finish. Keep putting the chief on the statue or just under it. You may have to do this a few times particularly if something else is going on, like burying the dead or sick villagers. Keep at it and even though it seems like it has stopped, it is still going. You can click on the statue and it will tell you how long to go. You may have to click around it a bit to get that message. Hope this helps you.
