Wanted: A Wild Western Adventure
Complete Walkthrough v1.0
by Gamehound
October 2004





Story: You play the role of Fenimore Fillmore. Your job is to fight John Starek and his henchmen from doing wrong to anymore of the farmers. Starek wants the farmers' land for his cattle, and he will stop at nothing to get it... including burning down the homes of the weak and innocent farmers.

Gameplay: Standard point-and-click interface. There are some mini-games which vary in skill from somewhat challenging to very difficult. Perseverance is the name of the game to get passed them. The Escape (Esc) key, or your Spacebar key, will bring up your main menu (to save, load a previous save, exit, etc). I highly recommend saving often (the save system appears to be limitless in quantity, so no worry there). Finally, your mouse controls the vast majority of the game. Both left and right clicks are used. Right click is your option changer on hot spots (use or look/speak), and left click selects the option you chose. During the shooting gallery, left click controls your left pistol, and right click controls your right pistol.

Tips!

1) Mouse speed. There is a rather difficult shooting gallery mini-game later on that is mandatory to beat. The developer set the default mouse speed, in the game, to medium. Fast mouse speed, during the shooting gallery game, means less accuracy (and easier) for you to pass the mini-game. I suggest setting this feature now and forget about it the entire game. Hit your escape key (Esc) or your spacebar key then select Settings. Move the mouse option to the very top (faster mouse movement in the game). This helps tremendously when attempting the shooting gallery. Hit your escape or spacebar key to exit the menu, and continue with your game. If you want the shooting-gallery game to be even more challenging, make the mouse speed slower (which will require a higher accuracy to beat each round).

2) Carrots. You get through the map, other than a couple of occasions when you ride a carriage and a wagon, on your horse. The horse, of course, needs fuel. Carrots fuel your trusty steed. There are 4 ways to obtain carrots. The Bannister's farm, the Alvin's farm, Jackson Market (of which cost money), and one other instance where you get 1 free carrot at Starek's house. To obtain carrots at either farm, you must fill a bucket of water, bring it back to the crops then water the crops with it. You do this repeatedly until carrots grow. I recommend picking up the bare essentials (Bannister's farm: gun holster, toy guns, hat, bucket, saddle and have at least 2 carrots for your horse... Alvin's farm: 2nd bucket which is found on the porch near the door) then come back to the Bannister's farm. At the Bannister's farm, the crops yield 5 carrots at a time. The Alvin's farm only yields 4 carrots at a time, you have to walk to and from the water supply farther than at the Bannister's, and you have to waste a rope (of which you cannot ever retrieve again, but not a mandatory item) to use their well. So, it is advantageous to collect the carrots at the Bannister's farm in those regards. The horse will require 1 carrot going to the Alvin's farm, and 1 more to return back to the Bannister's farm, so be certain to have at least two carrots before leaving the Bannister's farm. Once you are back at the Bannister's farm, having 2 buckets will help speed things up. Go to the water pump and fill up both buckets, bring them to the crops then dump them both out. While new carrots grow, go fill the buckets up again. Repeat as necessary. I suggest never having less than 10-15 carrots, in your inventory, at all times. I would also suggest that before you start the adventure that you stock up on at least 50 carrots; this amount should get you through the entire game without you having to get anymore carrots.

For those wanting a save bypass for the shooting gallery, or a save to bypass having to accumulate carrots (at the beginning of the game), click here: http://www.cheathappens.com/show_mc.asp?titleID=9931. Please read the readme.txt files inside the files before using the saves. Have fun!

Final Note: This walkthrough does not find every item to be collected. In fact, there are 2 levers and 2 logs that can be collected. If you wish to locate them, you can do so, but they are not necessary to possess to complete the game.

Also, you will note, at the end of every conversation we have with the sheriff, throughout the game, the sheriff refers to your having to urinate (instead of leaving) when you say you have to go. Part of the humor of the game, I suppose. J

    Note: If you do not get the option to purchase the whiskey then you didn't exhaust all dialogue with the doctor upstairs. Go back and do so before you can purchase the whiskey.

  • Leave the saloon and go to Jackson's Store.

    JACKSON'S STORE

  • Click on the Tyrolean harness (to the right of the front door) to buy it.
  • Buy the Tyrolean harness for 5 dollars.

    Note: If you are following this walkthrough, we only have 14 dollars left. There are many more items we need to purchase, here, for later in the game. For now, we only need one other item, pliars.

  • Go to the rear of the store.
  • Buy the pliars (for 2 dollars) on the wall-mounted stand between the two doors.

    Note: Other items for sale... Enter the clothing department (5 dollars), hydraulic jack (8 dollars), axe (4 dollars), climber's belt (7 dollars), launcher belt (12 dollars), mobile telegraph (8 dollars), 3 newspapers (The Nightly Moon - 7 dollars, The Evening Star - 6 dollars and The Morning Sun - 5 dollars), dynamite (requires a dynamite permit and an authorized bank check for 100 dollars) and farm fortification ammunition (requires a CISA credit card). Of everything left for sale, all but 4 items are mandatory to purchase to complete the game. The 4 items not mandatory to purchase are: the axe, the climber's belt, the Morning Sun newspaper and the Evening Star newspaper. I will explain what is in each of the newspapers later in the game, because they give us clues how to solve certain puzzles.

  • Leave the store then go to the train station.

    TRAIN STATION

  • Speak to the telegraphist behind the window.

    Note: You can send 3 telegrams. One to Aunt Filomena, one to the president and one to Sam the pianist. The telegram to the president will cost 4 dollars. The other 2 telegrams will cost 2 dollars each to send. The response from Aunt Filomena gives us 10 dollars back. The response from the president gives us 20 dollars back. The response from Sam the pianist gives us nothing, so don't send a telegram to Sam the pianist (at any point in the game). Send a telegram to the president for 4 dollars. We will come back later to send one to Aunto Filomena.

  • Send a telegram to the president asking for a grant.

  • Go down to the water.
  • Take the basket, from your inventory, then use it on the beach.
  • Go into the water.

    Note: Time for an annoying game of skill. The object is to swat the trout into the basket on the beach. Keep yourself aligned with the basket at all times. When the trout swims by, click on it (but only when the cursor changes to a hand, or you will re-position yourself).

  • Swat the trout into the basket then take the basket.
  • Go back up to the maintenance truck, use it then click on the left-hand lever "uncharted track."
  • Take the rope in front of the shed.
  • Take the axe beside the rope.

  • Take the cut log, from your inventory, then use it on the tree stump (white).
  • Take the axe, from your inventory, then use it on the cut log.

    • TOWN (STAREK CITY)

    OUTSIDE

  • Go to the train station.

    TRAIN STATION

  • Speak to the telegraphist, and receive the $10 from Aunt Filomena.
  • Go to the saloon.

    SALOON

  • Speak to the stranger (seated at the table).
  • Speak to the barman (exhaust all dialogue).

  • Give the barman a $5 tip (minimum he will accept to introduce you to Willy).
  • Speak to Willy (the stranger at the table) again, and ask to buy the adulterated oil.

    Note: If you are following this walkthrough, we only have 23 dollars. Normally, he charges a minimum of 25 dollars (if we had more money). For now, he will only charge 20 dollars if you choose: "I don't have more than ten."

  • Leave the saloon.

    OUTSIDE

  • Go to the maintenance truck (behind Jackson's Store) then use it.
  • Click on the left-hand lever "uncharted track."


    • FAIRGROUND

    Note: Time to play the infamous shooting-gallery game. There are 5 rounds to play (in order to get the Winchester rifle which is mandatory to complete the game). Round 1 requires 15 targets hit. Round 2, 20 targets. Round 3, 25 targets. Round 4, 30 targets. Round 5, 50 targets. It is quite difficult, if you are not used to playing first-person-shooter games, to beat round 4 (yet alone round 5). To bypass round 5, you can re-place the robot oil (near the orange machine) with the adulterated oil we just bought from Willy. This will make the robot shutdown, and lose automatically. Finally, if you do not beat the fairman's 5 rounds, in addition to you not receiving the rifle, he will not show up, later in the game, to play the Spicey Sarsparrilla Drinking Duel with you (which is also mandatory to completing the game).

    Strategy: Read Tip #1 at the top of this walkthrough. Before speaking to the fairman, save your game. If you lose your dollar investment, load the save you just made. Red targets are the bad guys. Blue targets are the good guys. Shoot a blue target, and you automatically lose. The red targets, you will begin to notice, appear in a clockwise fashion. I assure you, how they popup is completely random (aside from the clockwise motion the game follows). Tip #1 (top of this walkthrough), and the clockwise recognition are the 2, best tips to passing this game successfully. Employing these tips still doesn't gaurantee victory; the game is still very difficult. Left mouse controls your left pistol, and right mouse controls your right pistol. I found it easiest to use the pistol in the direction you move. For example, if you move left, use your left pistol, etc. Also, I found it easier to keep both arms at equal length to help stabilize, so I placed my middle finger on my escape (Esc) key while I operated the mouse with my right. You do not benefit by getting more than the minimum for any of the rounds. Round 1 is the easiest, so I suggest that you get your 15 targets then continue playing through the remainder of the round, so you can be comfortable playing. For rounds 2 and 3, just get the minimum and relax your arms afterwards (20 for round 2 and 25 for round 3). Round 4, good luck; it is quite difficult. Finally, do not attempt this game if you have lost some of your concentration. You will need a fresh mind to successfully beat the game.

  • Take the adulterated oil, from your inventory, (only if you don't want to play against the robot in round #5) then use it with the can of robot oil on the ground (beside the orange machine).
  • Speak to the fairman (exhaust all dialogue).
  • Play the game, and beat all of the levels to get the Winchester 73 rifle.

    Note: The solution to this puzzle was found back at Jackson's Store in Starek City (town). The Evening Star newspaper (6 dollars) had an article about art history. It relayed the following sequence of topics: Prehistory, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Middle Ages, Renaissance and Modern Era.

  • Click on the books in the following order: Prehistoric, Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renacentist and Modern.
  • Go into the hidden passageway, take the lamp (lantern), from your inventory, then continue down the steps.

    OUTSIDE

  • Use your horse.


    • TOWN (STAREK CITY)

    OUTSIDE

  • Go into Jackson's Store.

    JACKSON'S STORE

  • Go to the back of the store and buy a mobile telegraph (8 dollars).
  • Buy a launcher belt (12 dollars).
  • Go back to the counter, and buy the newspaper (The Nightly Moon) with the article about the escape from the Mexican jail (7 dollars).
  • Click on the newspaper in your inventory, to learn about the Baltimore poet (Edgar P. Allan).
  • Click on the newspaper again, in your inventory, to learn about a game (3 Skulls of the Toltecs).

    Note: The other 2 newspapers are not needed to complete the game. The Evening Star (6 dollars) tells of the correct sequence to use for the library puzzle at Starek's ranch. The paper also tells of how to successfully rob a bank (take a picture of the banker, place it in front of the security camera then hold the bank up). The last article discusses Dr. Englehoffer (no clue to any puzzle in the game). The Morning Sun (5 dollars) tells of the ACME logholder & axe splitting. Also mentioned is how to blow up a bridge with dynamite and a Winchester rifle. The Nightly Moon newspaper is necessary to buy, because learning about the poet is a trigger to be able to send him a telegram later in the game.

  • Leave the store then go to the train station.

    TRAIN STATION

  • Speak with the telegraphist, and send a telegram to Edgar P. Allan (2 dollars).
  • Leave the train station then go to the saloon.

    SALOON

  • Speak to Whiskers (one of Starek's henchmen) standing at the bar, and play the Spicy Sarparrilla Duel with him.

    Note: The object of this contest is to listen to all of Whiskers' questions & answers. Doing so will allow you to better defend yourself against 3 more opponents to come. You will have to lose until you can answer with a proper response. The correct responses are listed below, according to opponent. Do not leave a contest until you have heard all of the questions & answers the current opponent has to say. If you do not hear all of the available questions & answers, you will have to duel that individual again until you do. Each character has a line, you ask, that they cannot answer (which defeats them). The question the opponent cannot answer, and their corresponding answer, are listed last in the questions & answers below, in red. The questions & answers, in blue, are the correct replies to the last questions & answers, in red, that were not answered. So, for example, you would not ask Whiskers the question which ends in "shaking," until you have heard all of his other questions & answers.


    • OPPONENT 1: WHISKERS

    QUESTIONS ANSWERS
  • I don't think you can manage all that.
    		•
  • That's what you say, but your words leave me flat.
  • It looks to me like you're beaten already.
    		•
  • That's just because you're feeling unsteady.
  • It appears that you haven't a thought in your head.
    		•
  • That doesn't make sense, with you being brain dead.
  • I can see just how badly you're shaking.
    		•
  • I would if you didn't look just like a fish.


  • Leave the saloon then come back in to find Fatty at the bar (challenge him to a drinking duel).

    Note: If Whiskers is still at the bar, when you come back in, you did not listen to all of the questions & answers he had to say. If Fatty is there instead then you beat Whiskers. Whiskers left you with an unanswered questions, so be certain to ask Fatty that question as soon as possible.



    • OPPONENT 2: FATTY

    QUESTIONS ANSWERS
  • Are you ready to tell me your very last wish?
    		•

  • They told me that you had a streak that was yellow.
    		•
  • Tell me yours first, I can tell them you lied.


    • Note: If you leave the saloon, return and Fatty is still there then you did not beat him (i.e. listen to all of his questions & answers). If he is gone then you successfully defeated him.

        Note: After you return, with the wagon, to get the ammunition, you are ambushed on your way back to Alvin Jones's farm. As soon as Alvin hands you the lit dynamite, immediately save your game. If you die, in the upcomming shootout, you won't have to watch that lengthy cutscene again.

        Strategy: There are 4 guys to shoot (multiple times each) then you throw the dynamite. You move with your left click, and fire with your right click. The first enemy is in the mine shaft (to the left of the wagon). After defeating him, continue moving between the rock and the crate until you go offscreen. Go up the hill a little and kill the 2nd enemy (Whiskers). Continue moving up the hill (to the right of the screen). Kill the 3rd enemy (behind the beam). Continue up the hill (to the left of the screen). The final enemy is at the top of the cliff (hiding behind a crate). Position yourself beside the plant (at the end of the hill you just walked up) then kill the enemy.
