These vines must be braided together in a certain combination to construct a rope for a descent of the cliff. Each type of vine was given a particular strength between one and five, assigned at random for each player. The rope the player braided together had to have an average strength of above 3.5 to support everyone's weight. | ||
To make matters more complicated, the player had to make sure that the vines they combined were also long enough to reach the bottom of the cliff. Exactly how tall the cliff is was also different for different players. | |||
It was possible to construct a rope with more than three sets of vines, but if the player tried, their rope would be snatched away by a monster, and the vines scattered through the woods again. | |||
An effective way of determining which combination to use is to drop all vines at the clearing by clicking them in the inventory and clicking on the terrain, putting them into piles of type, and then trying with six of each in one's inventory until the user is shown a cutscene of the cliff, where the rope is too short. The user should add a vine from the next pile to the inventory, and continue doing so, testing after each vine, until the rope becomes too weak or the bottom is reached. In the former event, the last vine added should be removed, and a vine from the next pile included, with the process continuing. | An effective way of determining which combination to use is to drop all vines at the clearing by clicking them in the inventory and clicking on the terrain, putting them into piles of type, and then trying with six of each in one's inventory until the user is shown a cutscene of the cliff, where the rope is too short.
