As this FAQ contains no happy ending or starting. This FAQ includes more than 8 strange gadgets used to get away from a difficult situation. If you are reading this FAQ due to curiousity, I suggest you go to look at some other game instead. Furthermore, this FAQ contains the saddest contents in the whole FAQ history, a word which here means 'a FAQ with despair, sorrow, mind-boggling sums and very little happiness'. If you are looking for FAQs with fairies, wizards or even brownish hedgedogs with green fiery wings, please do not look further below the sentence, as you will need a packet of Very Fruity Dove-chocolates, 3 boxes of Vile-like Flippable Decor-paper, or in other words tissue. **** ************************************************************************* * ** * **** GAME INTRODUCTION Very Funny Decoration (gai) ******************************************************************************* Cover-back Introduction: 'Life for the Badulaire orphans is incredibly unpredictable and rather unfortunate. After losing their parents in a mysterious fire, the orphans are sent to live with their sinister uncle, Count Olaf, who will stop at nothing to get his greedy hands on the Baduelaire family fortune! Only by combining their talents will the orphans have a chance to defeat the evil uncle and his horrible hunchmen.' Snicket's Introduction: 'If you are interested in playing a fun-filled game with cute furry heroes and helpless princesses, you have chosen the wrong game entirely. This game includes a sinister villain, a loud noise, an umbrella, a parked car, three clever orphans and many dangerous situations. This is the story of the Baudelaire siblings, Violet, Klaus and Sunny. After a mysterious fire destroys their parents, their mansion and their previously happy lives, the children are sent to live with Count Olaf, one of the world's six worst villains and four worst actors. Joined by his troupe of greedy henchmen, Count Olaf will do anything to get his greedy hands on the vast Baudelaire fortune. Violet, Klaus and Sunny must rely on their unique talents and each other if they are to outwit Count Olaf and his villainour associates. They'll need Violet's clever inventions, Klaus' bookish intellect and Sunny's four very sharp teeth. While they are doomed to battle treachery on every level, you are free to do something more pleasant with your time. Wouldn't you rather play something else?' **** ************************************************************************* * ** * **** VERY FREQUENT DECIMALS (QUESTIONS) Very Funny Decoration (faq) ******************************************************************************* Q1:I am now stuck on the Peppermint Popper, I cannot get through it all without dying! I can get as far as the second wave of crabs and I run out of health! If you have any tips or if you just gotta tell me that I have to get through it A1:I'm sorry to say that there is no cheat or code to complete this part of the game. This has been asked many, many times, so don't ask me the same question again. Anyways, all you need to do is to aim and shoot well. It is quite a button masher part. So if you play it a lot of times and you master it, I'm sure you can finish this part quite quickly. (P.S. The crabs and people come in different waves. So when one wave is over, the second one will come, so don't rest until the whole part is finished.) Q2:How to get __(put chracter's name here)______? A2:I'm sorry to say that you cannot unlock any charcters in this game, not at all for you to control. You can only stick to Violet, Klaus and Sunny. I will put up more questions when I receive more of them. **** ************************************************************************* * ** * **** CHARACTERS INTRODUCTION Very Funny Decoration (cai) ******************************************************************************* There are so many characters in the game that are somehow associated with the Baudelaires. Therefore, I will only list out the Baudelaires, the people with worst deaths, a terribly terrible villain and a helpless person. * * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * IOLET * (vio) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Female Age: 14 Family: Baudelaires Height: Never measured Description: Violet, the oldest Baudelaire sibling, is one of the finest 14-year-old inventors in the world. Whenever her hair is tied up with a ribbon to keep it out of her eyes, it means Violet is thinking about pulleys, levers and gears as she works out another complicated device. The orphans often rely on Violet's inventions to save them from imminent danger, sometimes mistakenly. Other features: She's rather beautiful, so much that Count Olaf wants to marry her. But is his taste bad, or is Violet really that beautiful? Nevertheless, Olaf just wants to inherit their fortune. | *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |* LAUS | * (klu) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Male Age: 12 Family: Baudelaires Height: Shorter than Violet Description: Klaus Baudelaire, the middle Baudalaire child, has read more books at 12 years of age than most people read in their entire lives. He is highly skilled at solving puzzles and finding and deciphering clues, a phrase which here means "it probably won't make a difference because these children are so unlucky". Other features: The actor in the movie don't seem 12 at all. Maybe they should have chosen a younger person. But nevermind, it has nothing to do with this FAQ at all... ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * ** UNNY * * (sun) **~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Female Age: Never mentioned (1-2, perhaps?) Family: Baudelaires Height: Much shorter than Klaus - approx. 60-70cm Description: Sunny Baudelaire, an infant, is small enough to crawl into very tight space and has four sharp teeth with which she likes to bite things - useful qualitiies when one is faced with terrible treachery. Because she is so young, Sunny speaks only in a series of unintelligible shrieks, but you probably would too if you were being chased by a man with hooks instead of hands. Other features: Not much to talk about her. She is quite useful is other areas, not only for crawling through small spaces. ** ~~~~ ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ * * * * OUNT* * LAF (clf) ** ~~~~ ** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Male Age: As old as Jim Carrey (maybe..) Family: Villians of Olaf Height: Jim Carrey's height - never mentioned Description: Count Olaf is a terrible villain and worse actor who will stop at nothing to get the enomrmous Baudelaire fortune. Nothing is a word which here means "certainly, not three clever orphans". He only has only one eyebrow, which would normally make him easy to spot, but he often wears disguises as he hatches his sinister spots. Other features: He has the VFD eye insigna has his left ankle. There are more features of him in the books. Check them out! |* *| |** ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | * * |R.| * oe | * | |* * (mpe) | |~~| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Male Age: Rather old (40-50 perhaps?) Family: POE Height: Hmmm.... Description: Mr. Poe is a banker and family friend who is responsible for overseeing the Baudelaires' affairs. He is kind-hearted, an expression which here means "completely unhelpful" Other features: "completely unhelpful" is a good phrase to describe him. But don't get mistaken, he's not unhelpful, just very helpless to the Baudelaires. | |~~~~~|* *|~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |NCLE | * |ONTY | | | | * * | | (umy) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Male Age: Not as young as he seems (around 40-50 years old) Family: Baudelaires (Somehow related) Height: What do you think? Description: Dr. Montgomery Montgomery - or, as the Baudelaire children call him, Uncle Monty - is a world famous snake expert. He is currently planning a trip to Peru with the orphans to research exotic reptiles, but he probably won't make it. Other features: He really loved snakes, however, he would never have thought that he will be killed by one. (OR will he?) * ~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** UNT |OSEPHINE * * * | (aje) ~~~~~~~~ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sex: Female Age: Hmm.. They say a woman's age cannot ne disclosed... Family: Baudelaires (One of the relatives) Height: Hard to guess... Description: Aunt Josephine is a widow who is scared of nearly everything, including doorknobs, which just might suddenly explode into a million sharp pieces and injure you. Unfortunately, she isn't very good at detecting the most obvious perils, like the appearance of a terrible villain. Other features: She lives on the edge of a cliff. You call her scared of everything? If so, she must be out of her mind at the time when she chose her house. **** ************************************************************************* * ** * **** VIOLET'S INVENTIONS LIST Very Funny Decoration (vii) ******************************************************************************* \ /======|================================================================== \ / | LIST FORMAT ==\/iolet's |nventions========================================================= You can don't bother reading now as the contents below this sentence are truly sorrowful.
