Gold Rush Hints

How do I avoid the quicksand?

  • 1 of 3: Most of the water isn't quicksand.  Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing which parts are until you step in it.
  • 2 of 3: You'll have to save and restore often.  There is only one path through the water, and it's a matter of trial and error till you find it.
  • 3 of 3: Walk straight out from the left bank. Go halfway across the screen and stop.  Go just a hair's breadth north.  Then go east and right up the bank.  If you miss it, keep trying.
