Ya know, there was a comment here about the secret room. You just go straight to the shop after you end up in the weird village, talk to the lady/man (I personally can't tell which it is) and keep clicking on the picture till you get it (It takes a loooooong time) and then, whatever you do, DONT'T press the button. Then continue with the game.

When you're in the castle, there's a paper shredder. Just put the paper in and then you get teleported to the secret room. But when you talk to the guy in there, you go straight to the end of the game.

OK everybody listen up,I completed the game and he...

2008-12-26T11:26:00.000+01:00

OK everybody listen up,

I completed the game and heres what you should do.

-OPENING-

The game starts with Nicholas walking out of the mall. The dark wizard,
Morth, then steals his DVD. Choose whichever responses to Morth's questions
you want; it doesn't affect the future game play. Afterwards, Nicholas is
teleported to Eumoritown, where he decides to reclaim the DVDs and get
Ultimate Walrus Power before Morth does.

-EUMORITOWN-

Go into the house on the right side of the screen and talk to the girl
inside. Tell her that you would like to try her pie. Then, when she asks
if you like it, tell her that it could use a little more sugar. If you
tell her you like it, you will enter an endless loop of confirmation until
you tell her you don't like it. Afterwards, she will throw the pie into
the recycle bin and run into her room crying. Take the pie and leave the
house. Go up one screen to Central Eumoritown and tell the sewer guard you
want to fall in. Give him the pie and he will leave. Drop down into the
sewer, take the bowling ball out of the garbage pile, then go back into
the beam of light. You will be back in North Eumoritown. Go left to the
next screen and you will be in the front yard of the Spooky Mansion. Look
at the skeleton and take the train ticket. Go right, then down, then left
to the Eumoritown train station. Talk to the man in the ticket booth and
tell him you have a train ticket. He'll say you missed your train ride,
but he'll give you a half-refund. Go right, then up to North Eumoritown,
then into the Car Wash. Let him wash and chrome your bowling ball to make
the ball all shiny. Re-enter the sewer and put the shiny bowling ball into
the hologram. You will enter the Walrus Temple, where you will find the
location of the first DVD. Pick up the dead fish from beneath the pipe and
leave the sewer. Go down two screens to the Eumoritown Docks. Talk to the
fisherman and trade your dead fish for his live fish. Go up, up and right
to Sea World. Show Lord Shamu-Shamu the fish and he will swallow you.

-INSIDE LORD SHAMU-SHAMU-

On one of the whale's teeth, you will find a bottle. It has a message in
code that tells you what order you should touch the discolored teeth in:
left, right, middle, right, left, right, middle, right. You can then allow
yourself to be swallowed. Examine the stomach acid and you will pick some
up in your bottle. Go let one screen and use the stomach acid to dissolve
the gunk. Go up to the right of the vending machine and pick up the empty
bottles. Go back right one screen and into Jonah's Grille. Talk to the
cashier and ask him what you can get for free. Ask him another question,
then look inside the recycle bin and take the broken PRM. Take a straw
from the right of the soda machine, then leave. Nicholas will realize he
can use the straw as a handle for the PRM. Go back into Jonah's Grille and
refill the empty bottles you found. Then leave once more, go left and use
the PRM on the vending machine to make it take in the drinks and dispense
money. Go back into Jonah's Grille and talk to Jonah. Buy some tumor tots
and go back outside. You can then use the tots as a raft to cross Lord
Shamu Shamu's stomach acid. Once you are through the small intestine, you
will fall down into the large intestine where a cyborg fish will blow you
away with a laser. The voice of a Sea World employee will fire you back up
to fight the fish, but you are fired way too far up and out of the whale.

-MORTH'S CASTLE-

After a brief conversation with Morth, you will enter the castle. Play his
arcade game, which it is impossible to win. Talk to the guard to the right
of the game and he'll give you the Red Key Kard in exchange for your tumor
tots. Use the Kard to open the door and enter the next room. Go left to
the food court and talk to the bartender. He likes to act mean, and won't
give you anything. Talk to the guard in the yellow shirt six times and he
will tell you that the bartender is actually a nice once you get to know
him, and just has a mean veneer. Tell the bartender about his niceness and
he'll give you mustard to squirt in the yellow-shirted guard's face to
prove how mean he is. Instead of doing what the bartender tells you, go
right one screen and examine the door to the tech room. It needs a Yellow
Key Kard to open. Nicholas will squirt the mustard onto the Red Key Kard
to turn it yellow. Go right into the tech room. OK this explanation will be in short detail, Press the button in the order I say:

Right, Left, Left, Right.

Then the screen will turn green.

Now Activenture
is now possible to beat, and in fact incredibly easy unless you deliberately
try to lose. Go back left and down into Morth's entrance hall and play
Activenture again. Take the key down one screen and enter the hole. You
have won the game, and your reward is a hearty "CONGRENDULATES!". Go up
one screen and talk to the guard in green clothing. Once he finds out you
beat the arcade game, he will explode and let you through into Morth's
room.

~TIPS~

Please do not ask me about the secrete room because I myself has not completed it.

I have quoted some questions and answers that people recently asked Nicolas

Quoted Questions and Answers:

Q: So, I hear (from you) that there's a secret room in the game. Can you
give me any significant hints as to where it is?

A: The only hints I'll say are that it has something to do with the stick
figure picture in the Eumoritown shop, that you must do something many
times, you must finish exactly at the right time, and you must do another
thing much later. Then you can access the secret room.

Q: How likely is it to find the room?

A: Without any hints, nigh impossible. With that hint, still very unlikely
that you'll find it, no matter how many times you try. Still, if I said
any more, I'd give it away. <=(

Q: Does it have anything to do with the pie girl, the haunted house, the
crack in the elder's wall, the train, or the rocket launcher?

A: No.

Q: I don't think there really is a secret room. You probably just made it
up so that people would keep playing it and you'd get more hits.

A: It's really there; it's just that the likelihood of finding it is so
close to impossible that it may as well actually be impossible.

Q: If you don't expect anyone to ever find it, what's the point of making
a secret room?

A: I've always had a fascination with "secrets", particularly secret rooms
and things of the such. And not just in games. As a child, I often liked
to make up stories about how I or one of my family members found a secret
passage in our house to a hidden room. As for video games, it began with
something that any Pokemon fan of the 1990s with an internet connection
should remember: the "Pokegods". At age ten, I was on Pokemon websites all
the time, most of them crummy websites made by people slightly older than
me. There were many jokesters on these websites who liked to spread false
rumors about Pokegods, ridiculously powerful Pokemon that could only be
gotten by doing ridiculously elaborate and practically impossible things,
like beating the Elite Four thirty times without saving or healing, or
talking to someone a thousand times after you've caught all 150 Pokemon
without using a Gameshark, etc. Though I was pretty sure these were fake,
I really wanted them to be real. So, I decided that if I ever made a video
game, I would put a ridiculously hard to find secret in it for real, just
for fun. I seriously didn't expect it would drive people crazy like this.
I was originally going to put a secret room in the first Nicholas' Weird
Adventure, but I was rushing to finish it and decided that a secret room
wasn't really that important.

Q: What the pfargtl is that chihuahua doing there?! WHAT IS THE POINT OF
THAT THING?!?!?!

A: It's mainly just there because I get amusement out of confusing people.
Actually, there was this space between the pie girl's house and the bushes
that looked big enough for Nicholas to walk through, but I didn't want him
to be able to walk through it. I would have to redo the warp effect if I
redrew the bushes to make them bigger, which would be impossible as I used
the trial for Adobe After Effects to do that effect, and my trial period
had expired. So, I figured I'd have a dog walk up and block the path. I
I found the concept amusingly random, and started to work on the dog in
question. The problem was that I didn't want to spend a long time drawing
a walk cycle for something so trivial. I put off making the walk cycle and
eventually came up with the idea of just having the dog rise demonically
out of the ground. I would give no explanation for this within the game,
and Nicholas wouldn't regard it as particularly odd. I burst into laughter
on the spot imagining how confused people would be when the game was over
and they still hadn't figured out why that strange chihuahua was present.
I recounted my idea to Ramon (a friend since seventh grade, the composer
of the game's music, and eponymous character of a certain walrus-related
show), and we both just found the idea hilarious. So, in the dog went more
for my amusement than for the amusement of anyone else playing the game.

Q: Is there really a rocket launcher in the game?

A: No. That was a joke. I added the rocket launcher joke way before I had
ever thought of putting the chihuahua in the game, just as sort of a prank
on players in the way that people made up rumors about Pokegods, only mine
was supposed to be more obviously a joke.

Q: If you can't get the key to the haunted house or collect the remaining
two DVDs, why did you make it look like you can?

A: The truth is, the game was originally intended to be almost two times
longer than it ended up being, but after a year and a half of working on
the game, I just couldn't motivate myself to work on it anymore. I was
programming the fight with the cyborg fish (yes, you were originally able
to fight it), but couldn't get myself motivated to finish the complex code
and just decided to have the canon anticlimactically blast you out of the
whale up to Morth's castle, where the game would end shortly afterward. I
figured it would be funny, and it would be okay to be anticlimactic since
the first game's ending was the epitome of anticlimax. Many of my favorite
things have intentionally anticlimactic endings (the Monty Python movies),
and I find anticlimaxes quite jocular.

Q: I'm going to PM you until you tell me where the secret room is.

A: I'm glad you're so enthusiastic about my game, but I can't tell you any
more in a PM than I did in this FAQ. If you spam me, I'll block you.

Q: If you don't tell me where the secret room is, I'll hunt you down, cut
you open, and make you jump rope with your own intestines!

Key Kard to open. Nicholas will squirt the mustard onto the Red Key Kard
to turn it yellow. Go right into the tech room. On the monitor of the left
computer is a cryptogram. The key to solving it is Morth's signature on
the monitor to the right. If solved, the cryptogram tells you the order
to push the central computer's buttons to change Activenture from hard
mode to easy mode. The order is right, left, left, right. Now Activenture
is possible to beat, and in fact incredibly easy unless you deliberately
try to lose. Go back left and down into Morth's entrance hall and play
