So the wax ixupi stole it and bit me, just as it should have done. Fortunately I had saved the game, so I didn't lose the jar. Once I figured out what my problem was, I didn't have much trouble catching the wood ixupi.
This is wood, not wax
Yeah, he should be scared!!
After some wandering I also got the water jar complete, turned on the fountain in the lobby and, after leaving and re-entering the room a few times, caught the water ixupi!
Got him!!
Also, I got my life essence restored. It was the water ixupi who bit me on the underground lake at the beginning of the game (that's a scripted event and cannot be avoided). But when you capture the ixupi who stole some of your life essence, you get it back.
Next was Sand. I have a list of where I kept the lids, and I was able to match that one up to the jar. Aha! Sand actually is one of the easiest to get, because he's either in the Amazing Plants room or in the Mysteries of the Deep room, which are right next door to each other. So I got him too!
Caught him here. Nice room!
And there's a screenshot of the Mysteries of the Deep room. Really, this game still looks good, although the ixupis themselves are far too cartoonish. It's the sounds that they make that are scary!
So the game is working exactly as it should. It's not on any kind of advanced difficulty. It's my brain that wasn't working properly.
Tomorrow I'll venture into the punishments room on the third floor. I hate that place, but it has several necessary items and I don't think I'll be able to do much more until I get 'em!
Next Entry.
