Neopets Ghoul Catchers Guide

Ghosts have escaped from Haunted Woods and have inhabited houses throughout the Neopian world. It’s your job to help Brave Bren, the Professor, and Glyn to rid these houses of spirits! Ghoul Catchers is Neopet’s smartphone application that is very similar to Sutek’s Tomb. The goal is to strategically match three or more ghouls together to achieve a target, a set number of points and in later levels delivering items.

This application is available for iOS and Andriod users, but the game can also be accessed from Facebook as well.

HOW TO PLAY:

Each map will show a path with 20 different haunted houses. Each house represents a different level, and you need to meet the basic requirement for the first level before you move onto the second. You can continue to replay each level to earn neopoints or to improve your number of stars.

Map features:
Hearts – This shows exactly how many lives you have. You begin with a maximum of 5 lives. Hearts are lost whenever you fail to meet a level’s requirements or restart a level. Whenever you lose a life, it takes 20 minutes to replace. Another method for gaining lives is receiving some from friends on Facebook or purchasing lives inside the application.
Stars – This number represents how many stars you have earned. Try to collect as many stars as possible so you are able to continue on to the next map. Each house can earn you up to three stars.
Envelope – This feature shows your friend list and lets you send them extra lives.

Inside the haunted house:
Target – This shows the requirement for each level.
Petpet – Different petpets are unlocked for different maps. Each petpet will provide different options for two power-ups.
Moves – This shows how many moves you have left to use in the game.
Star meter – This shows how close you are to achieving a star.

If you run out of moves without reaching the target, you can choose to flee and lose a life or purchase more moves.

Brightvale

The ghouls have left Haunted Woods, and your first stop is in Brightvale. In this map, a Warf petpet will accompany you. Your Warf petpet will learn two power-ups throughout the Brightvale map: Tailchaiser and Prismatic Sparkler. The Brightvale maps are fairly easy to beat as it only requires you to achieve a certain amount of points to reach the requirement.

Faerieland

The next map you can unlock is Faerieland, but you can only move on from Brightvale after you have collected 50 stars. A red Cyodrake petpet will accompany you through these levels, but you can choose the Warf petpet if you like its power-ups better. The Cyodrake petpet will learn two power-ups throughout the Faerieland map as well: Fireball and Spitfire. This map is a little bit harder because some maps require you to achieve a certain amount of points as well as deliver items. You can deliver items by letting the item drop to the bottom row in the game.

Terror Mountain

The next map is Terror Mountain, and you can unlock this map after you have achieved 100 stars. A Neucloop petpet will accompany you though starting on level 42. The Neucloop has two power-ups, Blocker Buster and Ink Splash. This map is introduces a new obstacle, urns. Urns are unable to be swapped and ultimately block your path. Urns can be destroyed by creating a match touching the urn, or using a special tile to eliminate it.

Lost Desert

The next map is Lost Desert, and you can unlock this map after you have achieved 150 stars. If there are urns present in a level, the Neucloop petpet will be present. If there isn’t, you can choose between the Warf and the Cyodrake. The new target for this map is eliminating plagued ghouls. Basically, there will be a required number of ghouls of a certain color you need to eliminate. For example, you may have to eliminate 5 pink ghouls and earn a certain amount of points before you can achieve the target. This is easy at first, but becomes difficult in the later levels when it asks to eliminate 25 ghouls of a certain color, and there aren’t many present on the board.

STRATEGIES

Creating Special Tiles

Spectral Shackle | Glyph of Banishment | Ghost Trap

An important aspect of meeting all the requirements of each level is creating special tiles. You can create special tiles by matching 4 or 5 ghouls together.
Spectral Shackle: Match 4 ghouls to create a single tile. Matching it again will eliminate an entire row or column depending on which way the green line is facing.

Glyph of Banishment: Match 5 ghouls to create a single tile. Swap this power-up tile and it will banish all ghouls of the same color of the tile you swapped.

Ghost Trap: Match 5 ghouls in an L or T shape to create a single tile. Matching this tile again will eliminate a 3×3 block of the ghouls around it.

Swapping Special Tiles

The best way to earn points in Ghoul Catchers is to swap two special tiles. Swapping these two tiles, depending on what they are, will produce different reactions. In the later levels, it is extremely important to be able to swap these tiles, otherwise, it is unlikely you’ll be able to meet the level’s target.

Two Spectral Shackles: Will eliminate a column and a row for 100 points per ghoul

Spectral Shackle and Glyph of Banishment: Will eliminate rows and columns of the color of the spectral shackle for 100 points per ghoul.

Spectral Shackle and Ghost Trap: Will eliminate 3×3 row and a 3×3 column for 200 points per ghoul.

Two Ghost Traps: Will eliminate a 3×4 region around the traps for 200 points per ghoul.

Ghost Trap and Glyph of Banishment: Will eliminate 3×3 regions of the color of the Ghost Trap for 200 points per ghoul.

Two Glyphs of Banishment: Will eliminate all ghouls on the board for 100 points per ghoul

Power-ups

In various levels throughout the game, a level will start and have you complete a tutorial about some of the power-ups. However, don’t forget that these power-ups do not replenish after you complete a level but are available for purchase. I recommend you don’t use these unless you feel like you can’t beat a level without it.

Ghoul-B-Gone – Allows you to eliminate ONE ghoul. Available at level 4+. All petpets.

Tailchaser – This power up allows you to swap two different ghouls without making a match. Available at level 5+. Warf petpet.

Prismatic Sparkler – Eliminates all ghouls of two random colors. Available at level 10+. Warf petpet.

Utility Kit Booster – Gives you five extra moves. Available at level 15+. All petpets.

Fireball – Eliminates 10 random ghouls. Available level 22+. Cyodrake petpet.

Spitfire – Eliminate one column of ghouls. Available level 31+. Cyodrake petpet.

Extra Life – Restores your life meter

Map Unlock – Allows you to unlock a map early if you do not meet the star requirement.

Blocker Buster – Eliminates one urn. Available level 42+. Neucloop petpet.

Ink Splash – Eliminates a 3×3 block, including urns. Available level 51+. Neucloop petpet.

TIPS

Always check to see if you can create a special tile before swapping any ghouls.
Swapping special tiles will earn you the most points and get you closer to a three star achievement.
Try not to get items you are trying to deliver stuck along the sides as this makes it more difficult to make them reach the bottom.
If you are close to running out of moves, try creating as many special tiles as possible, and they will detonate at the end of a level, giving you more points.
If you’re looking to make some quick NP, repeat level 1 multiple times. You can earn up to 50k NP a day
If you have already passed a level and are trying to get all three stars, don’t worry about delivering items or eliminating plagued ghouls if they’re being troublesome; focus on achieving a higher score as you’ll still be awarded the stars regardless of reaching the requirement.

Neopets AAA’s Revenge

AAA’s Revenge centers around the cruelty Aristotle A. Avinroo (AAA) faced by the hands of the ruthless King Roothless. AAA has set out to seek revenge by breaking into the King’s castle!

Neopets AAA's Revenge

AAA’s Revenge – How to Play

The objective of the game is simple, just don’t let King Roothless fall asleep. You will navigate AAA around the King’s castle by using the left arrow and right arrow key (which will move AAA clockwise and counter-clockwise around the castle’s perimeter. If you hit the Space Bar, you will launch AAA’s yoyo. You’ll have to continuously move around the map and hit AAA, while going undetected by the King’s guards walking around. Once the game beings everyone is stationary and you get three easy hits on the King. If you happen to pull out your Yoyo, and it lands in the line of sight of a guard, then the yoyo will be confiscated.

games_aaarevenge_screen-3876330

AAA’s Revenge – When you Lose

King Roothless will being yawning fifteen seconds after you hit him with the Yoyo, and five seconds after that he will fall asleep. Thus you have twenty seconds in-between hits to maneuver around. If Roothless falls asleep or you are out of Yoyos, than you loose.

AAA’s Revenge – Items

Items will periodically appear on the map, and you will get a small reward each time you collect them (by slinging your Yo-yo at the item). The shield however is a deterrent, as you can not just sit in one place and continuously hit Roothless. If you hit him three times from the same gap in the wall, the shield will appear, and if you use the same gap again, you will loose a yoyo.

	Grants 1 additional yoyo
	Freezes the guards for 5 seconds

AAA’s Revenge – Scoring

AAA’s Revenge’s scoring system is quite simple. You get 1 point when hitting Roothless, and consecutive fast hits right after that are worth 2 points. Additionally each item you collect is worth 1 point.

AAA’s Revenge – Cheats

To maximize your points, you want to quickly hit AAA’s in rapid successions. This will earn you the most amount of points rather than hitting him once and moving around! If the flashing shield appears, hit Roothless from another angle/gap. When Roothless yawns, you have five seconds to hit him again before the game ends!

Neopets Splat-A-Sloth

Neopets Splat-A-Sloth is a game that is one of the first to have been created in Neopets. It is a very old game that is similar to the copied version of Neopets Dar-BLAT!!! Neopets Splat-A-Sloth is where you aregiven the opportunity to have a bat in your hands and to wait a plushie version of sloth to splat him with it, and to earn points from there.

Gameplay

Your main objective, when you decide to play Neopets Splat-A-Sloth is to splat the sloth that comes out of the tube. The controls are really simple, and all you have to do is to actually hit the space bar whenever you see him so that you can splat him and earn points that are generated from there. You receive a bigger amount of points if you hit the end of the sloth from his right than if you hit his head, because it will mean that you reaction time was very quick and effective. From there, you can destroy him.

Once you successfully hit the sloth that comes out of the tube, you are shown the amount of points that you’ve got from the game but you do not decide whether or not you will want to send your score. For that reason, you will want to be as quick as possible in order to receive the maximum amount of points that you can. If you are slow and do not manage to hit the sloth, you will hear a big and loud laugh that will be of Dr. Sloth himself and you will then be given the option to the try game once again. This sound is very, very annoying and there is actually no way to turn it off (unless you turn off the sound on your computer) simply because Neopets Splat-A-Sloth is a very old game.

Make sure that you do not actually keep the space bar pushed when you fail at splatting sloth because this will lead in a game freeze and you will not proceed. You have the newspaper to splat the sloth, but make sure that you only do so when at least a total of 2 seconds comes by when Neopets Splat-A-Sloth starts. If you do it quickly, you may hit the metal part that the tube is on and the game will not respond anymore. If that happens, you simply refresh the game. For that reason, you do not want to keep the space bar pushed, because you would think that this way you can hit the sloth, but in reality that will not work.

The Sloth will appear on the screen at a random time. The time can be between two and 15 seconds, and there is no way that you can use to make it come faster. You have to be ready for the time he appears. There is a maximum score that can be obtained from this game, and it is actually 500. However, to achieve that, you must hit the sloth before he appears. Doesn’t make any sense, but this is really what will give you a score of 500 points. It will then go for a review by TNT, and you will finally receive it after a verification. The verification is there to avoid cheaters at succeeding at getting better score. When TNT reviews a score, it is to make sure that the legitimate players are rewarded for their efforts (trophy, avatar, etc) while the cheater gets frozen.

Neopets Splat-A-Sloth Strategy & Cheats

During the game, a good method to splat that sloth successfully is by staring at the red tube that will be open, and from there you have to wait. The black whole is where he will come out from first. You also have to make a quick move with your eyes so that you can get ready for the times he pops out in.

If you are playing on a Desktop computer where there is a keyboard that is attached to your computer, usually these keyboards will have the button keys popped out a little, then proceed and press the space bar a little. Make sure that the space bar is almost half pressed, depending of your keyboard or even more if the keyboards lets you but make sure that the space bar is not completely hit. You do not want to hit the space bar because you then just fail directly. Once this is done, wait for the sloth to appear and hit him with it. You can notice that this trick is perfect because when the sloth appears, you’ll see him and your reflexes will most likely allow you to hit him, however, since the space bar is popped out, it will take few fractions of second the time you press it and this will most likely result in a game over. You want to press it a little and when you see him, quickly press it.

For people who have a laptop, usually the keyboard is already thin and you do not really need to press the key. For that reason, you simply stare at the red tube from where the sloth will pop out, and press the space bar. The points that will be awarded to you, will depend of your reflexes. The quicker you are, the better your points. Hitting his head will give you more points, however if you manage to hit the right side (his “legs”) then you receive more points because that will mean you have been faster.

If you’re going after a trophy, you have to know that Neopets Splat-A-Sloth is a little bit different that most of the other games because many people will be achieving the same score. The maximum score that can be obtained from the game is set at 500, and once 100 people are on the high score table with 500 points, which is very likely to happen, then the high score table will start to rotate, meaning that if someone sends a score of 500 points as the 101th person, then he will be given 1st place. Then the 102th person to reach a score of 500 will take the first spot and the second person will be bumped to the second one. For that reason, the trophies are random but if you are quick enough, you can manage to get it at the first the of the month if you’re lucky. Usually there are not as much as 100 people on the high score table during the first day of the month, so if you manage to score in the 17 first spots, you will be granted a trophy.

A last strategy which is very useful is to make sure that you hit the space bar after a fixed amount of time. This strategy is recommended to the people that are going after the 500 score, simply because you have to hit the sloth before he appears, which is very hard. How can you actually hit something if you haven’t seen it? Luck! Press the space bar after 5 seconds from the start of the game, after some hours, at a given time you will achieve the 500 score.

Neopets Spinacles

Neopets Spinacles is a really fun game where you will have to shoot balls to the middle of the screen, where there are many of different colors in order to make a set of matching colors and to collect points. Neopets Spinacles will give you the opportunity to become better at games where precise shooting and aiming is really important because it determines whether you’re good, or not. Neopets Spinacles is what you want to play if you want to play some of the older games that started on the Nintendo.

Gameplay

Your main objective when you play the game of Neopets Spinacles is really simple. All you have to do is to actually clear the balls that you will find located in the middle of the screen for all of the levels that you’ll be playing on. In the middle of the screen there are many balls of different colors that are together, and you have to match them with their respective colors, by making groups of them. Given a ball of X color where in the middle of the screen there are many balls of X Y Z… colors that you will have to match it with. A total of a minimum of three balls is required in order to make the set disappear and earn points for them. For example, let’s say you have a red ball in your cannon. In the middle there is a set of 4 yellow balls, 6 blue balls, 1 green ball, and 2 red balls. You want to shoot on the red ball in order to make a set that consists a minimum of three balls, and from there you proceed to successfully gather your points automatically.

Make sure that you note the firing new balls will make the balls in the middle of the screen to rotate. This is perfect and not perfect at the same time because sometimes there will be many colors that you won’t not need. For example, it can happen that you have a red ball in your cannon as the second shot, and that there is none on the circle in the middle of the screen. Well, there is two together but they are below and you can not reach them. The current ball you have is orange and there is none of the orange color. How would you proceed? It is simple, all you have to do is to actually shoot with the orange ball in an horizontal direction in order to make the circle rotate, and from there you would reach the red balls set for your next turn.

The controls of the game are really simply, and you’ll not have to be a master genius in order to learn them. You have to use your mouse, as a main tool in order to move the arrow at the top of the screen in the direction you want. The cannon will always follow your mouse and you use your cursor in order to aim at X location. After that, you want to click on the left button so that you can successfully shoot to the designed location you have chosen. Make sure that you know the game is ending when the structure will become too big and you are not able to get on all the balls that or on it. Once the edge of the game screen enter in contact with the circle, the game will be over and you proceed to send your score, or alternatively to restart the game if that score was not what you were looking for.

The game can be quite long, so for people who are playing it simply to earn Neopoints, it is recommended to look at the NP ratio that the game is providing in order to have an idea of the amount of points you actually need for X amount of NP (1000), then you can proceed to earn near that amount of points. When this is done, instead of dying purposely, click on the end game that is located on the top right side of the screen from where you’ll end the current game and to send your score much more quickly. Note that there is a total of two balls that will be shown to you, which are present in your cannon. You are not obligated to shoot the first one and to let the second one for later. All you have to do is to press the space bar on your keyboard in order to switch between them. That will give you an easier time to do combos of balls if you can not find a set for the first ball, in the circle on the middle of the screen.

Firing a ball will add more balls to the structure, unless you manage to get rid of a set. If you shoot a ball and it does not go on the middle of the screen (usually it is easy to shoot in the middle and you’ll most likely not fail at that), more balls will then get added in the middle. You may think that this is a good thing to do simply because you collect more points. That is true for the first levels because on these the amount of balls in the circle will be so low that you finish the game more easily. You can then use that way to farm up more points. However, when you reach the later levels, you will notice that the amount of balls have dramatically increased and all you want to do is to get rid of them before they become bigger and bigger, thus touching the edge of the screen and result in a game over.

You can miss a total of 5 balls, and that can be done before another 5 extra balls are added to the set, that is located in the center of the screen. The more you advance in the game, the more difficult it becomes. Fortunately, there is not timer on this game and for that reason you have more time to think and to see what you can do from what you actually have. Later in the game you do not want to miss balls because it is easier for you to lose, simply because the number of the balls that are on the middle of the screen is much more higher.

If you would like to have the game end, you need to know that one of these balls that are located on the middle of the screen, on the pivoting circle, must touch the wall. That means if a lot of balls are fired but not many combinations are being successfully done, the circle will become bigger. However, note that there is a way to counter this and this is by firing a ball on them so that you are able to rotate it. Basically, you are shooting from the top of the screen, with your cannon, to the middle. From there the balls will accumulate if you don’t get rid of them. But the thing is that there is only one side of the circle that is filled with balls, which is the one that is directly after your cannon ball. You shoot in the appropriate angle in order to make it rotate to the other side. From there, you continue to shoot on the middle without having to deal with a big number of these balls.

Power ups

Obviously, there are many power ups that you can use for your advantage, otherwise the game would be too boring. You need these to get a little boost. Below is a list that describes them and you read it in order to get a global and better idea of the game.

The spinacle of any color is a regular one that you play with. They come in different colors and these will have to be matched in order to collect points, and to make them fall off the middle of the screen. These are basics and will not provide any power up. They are the main element of the game.

Seconly, there is the bombs. These bombs will explode when it is fired at the balls that are on the middle of the screen. Once you shoot, it will go directly to them and from there the balls will explode, giving you an advantage. This is recommended to use when there are sets of balls that are blocking your way, simply because you do not need them and you are being really bothered. This bomb will then remove them, giving you an easier time hitting the other ones.

There is also the perimeter power up which will remove all the balls that are located outside, on the edge of the circle of balls. This is perfect when there are many balls that are on each other, and they are about to touch the edge of the gaming screen. Using this power up will then get rid of them and than restart.

There is also a ball with a little + sign on it, which will give you a free shot that you will use. Even though this one is not really helpful, it is an extra ball and if you miss it, it will not count for the 5 missed balls that can be seen in the actual game. Note that once this ball lands, it will take the color of the one that is on it. You must know that if you do not want to make false set of balls, otherwise you can be disadvantaged.

The rainbow color balls can be used in order to match any set of colors. This is a very useful power up if you’ve been always receiving the wrong color and the middle balls are accumulating. From there you can use this one and to get rid of any group of your choice (you must go after the one that is bothering you the most if you would like to remain alive in the game).

Score & Points

It is recommended for people who are trying to achieve a super high score, or if they are alternatively going after a trophy, that they learn how the points are distributed so they can learn what is good to do, and what they will have to aim for the most in order to collect the maximum amount of points possible.

When you successfully clear a ball group of X color, you will receive a total of one point for each ball. That means if there are 5 yellow balls that have been successfully matched, a total of 5 points will be granted and added to your additional count. After that, if you are able to clear another set of balls within your next shot (without failing), you receive a total of two points for each ball that is in the group. For example, you have received 5 points for the yellow balls. The next shot involves a red ball and it successfully hits a group of 2 red balls, when you have 3 matching red ones. You then receive a total of 6 points for the 3 balls that you have matched because 3 balls x 2 points = 6.

If you successfully manage to link chains, you can raise up the number of points that you have for every time that you do so. Remember that the rainbow balls and all the other combos (besides the bomb) can be used in order to continue a combo that is already there. Bombs, however, are very useful because they will provide a large space through the balls from where you will hit and make other combos if there were ones that were blocking your way.

Riochet

You’ll be given the opportunity in Neopets Spinacles to ricochet balls that you remove off the wall they are actually on. In order to do that, you require some skills because it can be pretty hard to do so. Sometimes on the screen you cansee that there is X number of balls in X spot (the spot must have no more balls after it) and below them, to the direction of the center of the screen, there is a set of balls that can be hit even though it is hard because you have to aim precisely. From there if you manage to shoot them, they will then fall and you can get rid of the balls that were located to the far side of the middle center of the screen.

Bombs

It was previously mentioned that there are bombs in the game, where they can be used as power ups. However, you have to learn more about them in order to fully know what they do. Sometimes the bombs are so helpful and some other times they will be your worst enemy. For example, if there is a combo that you’ve been working on for so long that is guaranteed to give you a lot of points, you certainly do not want the bomb because it will break all what you’ve done. Remember that there is a total of two balls that can be found in your cannon and that you will press the space bar in order to switch between them. If you have a bomb and you do not want it to break the set that you’ve been working on, simply press on the spacebar so that it can be switched. Every time you shoot, it will come as first and you will have to keep pressing the space bar each time in order to get rid of it as long as possible until you do actually really need it.

Alternatively, the bombs can be helpful when there is an edge of the circle that is popping out of the “limit” and you don’t know what to do because there are many balls of different colors that can not make a set. Simply, if that happens, shoot the bomb and make them explode. It will help you by a lot because it will then give you an opportunity to be matching more of these.

If you happen to have two bombs at the same time, you know that pressing the space bar will result in nothing new, so you have to get rid of one if you don’t need it. To do that, simply throw it away of the circle so that the set you’ve been working on remains there.

Neopets Spinacles Strategy & Cheats

It is recommended that if you’re going after a high score or after a trophy that you purposely “miss” a ball so that it doesn’t go to the middle of the set. This is good especially in the first levels which are much more easier. When you start the game, you’ll notice that there are not many ball colors, and then as long as you progress, there will be more colors in the set for your disadvantage. When you start the game, try to get rid of all the balls and leave few that are actually there so that you can miss a ball purposely and from there you see more balls appearing on the circle whenever you miss. Keep doing that, which means play the game by getting rid of the colors and leave a few, then make sure that you miss purposely so that there are more balls that appear on the middle of the screen, then clear them and repeat until you get the amount of points that you want.

When the structure have many balls that you can’t make a set with, remember that you can rotate it and that by firing a ball on an edge, depending on the angles, etc. Rotate it and to see the other side of the structure that can have many set of balls that you can collect in order to grab points for your own advantage.

Every while or so make sure that you take a break because you canget bored of the game. When one takes a break and comes back, it is not the same as if he has been sitting in front of the computer for a lot of time. This will also help you to oxygenate your brain. Eat something so that you can give your brain some sugar and from there you will come back and play Neopets Spinacles. Don’t forget to take as much time as you need because you can, and people who think for a longer period of time on that game will have more points than someone who simply fires fires and fires without thinking. Good luck.

Neopets Spellseeker

Neopets Spellseeker is a nice game that will require some of your brain skills because you mainly have to match the numbers / letters / symbols for the wizard. Neopets Spellseeker will not put pressure on you by involving a limited time, but the game will show itself very tough. Neopets Spellseeker will also give you the opportunity to help a wizard and if that was one of your dream, then now is your opportunity.

Gameplay

During the game of Neopets Spellseeker, you will be in touch with a Gelert, who is very old. He is a wizard and you are his apprentice where you have to fulfill what he will be asking you. Your main objective will be to create strings so that you can have a minimum of three runes, from the ones that are located on the game screen, and you match them in order to receive more points. In order to match the runes, all you have to do is to use the left mouse button and to select the ones that you want. The three runes must be touching each others. Make sure that this is done.

Below you are shown runes and each one will be described so that you can get a better idea of the game, and from there you become better at them. The first rune is a normal one. This one will be normal colored and you put these together with atleast three matching runes so that you can receive a total of 100 points for each one. You have to match these. Note that the more runes you match, the more points you receive. It is recommended that if you’re going after a super high score or after a trophy, that you select the maximum number of runes that are matched before you proceed to collect the points they will provide.

Another rune is the one that is greenish with a liquid on its top of the darker green. You not want to have this one, because if this one falls to the bottom of the screen, you lose the game and you do not play again from where you left simply because you only have one life and when you lose, it is game over. You have to get rid of them before they reach the bottom of the screen, and for that you have to match it with the other runes that will be near it. You see that the more you progress, the more these will be found on the levels that you reach.

Another rune is the one that will be glowing and will be of the gold color. This one is perfect as it is worth more points, simply because it is cursed. This one is very important if you’re trying to achieve a super high score, or if you’re going after a trophy. The reason behind that is because it will give you extra points. Now imagine that you have many of these, imagine the amount of points you collect by simply assembling these together. Even if you only have one, you match many tiles together and from there this one will multiply the amount of points that will be added to your total count once you claim them.

Lastly, there is the purple tile which will erase the set of tiles that was created by you. You click on a rune that was not used and from there the sequence will be lost, and you have to do it again. It is better going this way than deselecting all of the sequence, wasting a lot of time from you. Use this for your advantage.

There will be symbols just like those that are found on the codestones, if you’re a pet trainer then you should have seen these. Alternatively there are words. There will be many letters that you will assemble from where you will create words, and this is perfect if you’re an English lover. After that, you play with runes that have numbers on them. It is recommended that you use the number runes simply because it is the easiest mode to use.

Note that for the gold tile that you are playing, once you match the tiles, you fulfill the hour glass. When it is full, it is for your advantage because it will then clear the cursed tiles. The cursed tiles are the green ones that will make you lose the game once they hit the bottom of the screen. Alternatively you may want to choose to click on the shuffle button which will make the wizard switch the current set, but the cursed tiles will not disappear. You have to choose wisely.

Neopets Spellseeker Strategy & Cheats

It is recommended that if you’re going after a super high score or after a trophy that you start by choosing the numbers because it is the easiest way to go. Make sure that you do not select just a few runes and then submit them because you only earn few points if you do that. You want to aim for the maximum combination possible. That said, you have to also use the gold runes. When you’re playing, if you find a gold rune, try to find a combination to make it with it. If there are not many combination that can be done with it, for example only three, make combos else where by making sure you do not complete the level and then come back to it later in order to finish it, because more runes would have joined the game then.

Make sure that when you make a combo, especially for the first few levels, that you do not finish the level. Assemble the runes and make sure that just a little bit of sumbitted runes is left to finish the level. From there you proceed to make a very big combo that will earn you a lot of points. Since the game is not infinite and that the amount of levels are limited, if you’re going after a super high score or after a trophy, you have to know that every bit counts.

Make sure that you choose the mode that you are the most comfortable with. Even though we recommend the numbers because we find it easier, you want to choose what you are good at. Also, never forget to use the hourglass for your own advantage. If you really don’t need it, don’t use it. However, when it is fulfilled, if you decide to not use it, it will not be going over the max. That means use it and refill it once again in order to get the most amount of advantages from it. Good luck.
