Hey Guys,
Probably most of you can help me with this:

Last year during the holiday I decided to start playing PA3, but I couldn't get past "the katana labyrinth" chapter.
This year I would like to retry, but I don't know how to proceed.
I seem to recall that my last "tip" was something like:
"When there's one go south, when there's more figure it out."
It was something like that anyway...

Please tell me what I should be looking for that has one or more of it and perhaps also where to look for it.

Thanks in advance.

pa3 ?
WHAT IS IT ?

pumpkin adventure 3

The hint is about the number of vases there are in the screen you are in once you're in the labyrinth. The rooms aren't interconnected like they regularly are. You have to go through a 'maze' in which the number of vases on screen tells you where to go.

You already got the hint:
1 vase = south

Don't really recall what the other directions were by heart but try this:

2 vases = west
3 vases = north
4 vases = east

Could be mistaken but you'll find that out soon enough if certain directions aren't possible to go to.

Thanks Randam.
I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow!
I do feel kind of studip for not figuring this out, but hopefully (for me) I just overlooked the vases...
I think I remember that the entrance to the maze is in the cellars right?

Everything you need to know is told to you by people walking aroudn in the areas. Just talk to everyone and they'll give you all the hints.

Yeah Manuel is right. I even think a second guy told you another clue about those vases...

Shame on me then...
Thanks for the advice guys!

hm, screenshot 2 is definitely taken with openMSX sine I see the FDD led icon

Oops! My mistake.

(Fixed now, by the way.)

Well, I spent some time now finding the maze again and looking for tips, but I'm not doing so well. I found the guy (Mark) again who told me to look for "one or more" etc and a guy that tells me to listen to Mark en then come back later, but apparently it's not late enough yet?!
Further I can't find anyone telling me whetever about vases? Where can I find this person?
Then I seemed to remember that the maze was actually in the "temple cellar", is that right? I can get there with one of 2 ladders down. Are the vases the things in the tiny alcoves? Is there a logical place to start using the "one or more" approach? Hopefully some of you can help me a bit further (only one week of vacation left....).

Metal_Geart: iIrc that particular guy would walk around a shop on some remote location. Not easy at all to find though. Just try and explore the entire area and eventually you'll run into him. Good luck!

Can you perhaps narrow down the search? What kind of shop and which part of the map (Downtown?). Do I need to find this person before the maze "works"? What about the other points I mentioned earlier, can you help me with them? Can you please elaborate a bit more?
