I have straight up been playing this game for fun (my one mission, which is largely out of my hands, is to get the blasted 2nd Evil Liquor to end the quest that will produce the Wine Key) for *years* and I always thought the main reason I wouldn't beat it is I'm too impatient. I've got a couple of crystal orders and gold coin spots in mind but can't ever be arsed to look up the ones I don't. I always blow the bomb in the well at the start to skip ahead as far as possible even though Cadomax coaches that's a bad idea for all the easy missed items and points (my feeling is, geeze, game already takes forever w/o tacking in even more levels!).
Well, since I have some extra time off at the holidays I thought "what the heck" I'll try and get some more gold coin spots in my head at least and so reviewed Cadomax. In doing that it noted somewhere that the first item to appear is always an effect item while the second is always inert.
*Years* of playing and countless levels I never once noticed this important fact. Yeesh!
