I am playing Hidden Cave with Simba II - my hero with the least experience. Since I have been in so many caves I knew to bring army and look under every rock and seek stalagmites (or whatever they are called). My little army beat several sets of flying coffins, found hidden passages, disabled the traps and obstacles. At the end of it I am facing four stalagmites that need pieces. I found one. So after successfully venturing through the "tough part" of killing monsters I find myself in a dead end?
I am finding this to be a bit frustrating. Maybe I am blind ... maybe not. :) But I beat a lot of monsters to get where I am going only to find I cannot get where I am going. Beating monsters does give me access to pass them but otherwise only gives me another vial or resource ...
I would like to suggest that beating the monsters provides the stalagmites instead more hero items and/or resources.
I once found a stalagmite piece in a stalagmite cluster. They are difficult to locate - which is okay. But we are seeking 16 - 20 items to open chests, seeking gems, seeking secret passages, seeking rocks that move etc. Maybe the stalagmite pieces that allow passage could be obtained in a different manner - at least for a change in strategy.
