Still stuck on Astro Knights?

August 11, 2011 Shaggy Tornado

I’m sure most of you already finished Astro Knights Island, but for the people who haven’t yet, Poptropica made a step-by-step walkthrough with video guides and all you need to complete one of the most challenging islands ever made on Poptropica! Of course, you can always use our PHB Island Help resources! 😀 Here’s how to get it and how it works (thanks to Striped Grape for the pics) :

Go to Astro Knights Island and walk until you see this stand:

Simply click on the card to get it! The best par: it’s free! *throws confetti into the air* 😀 The card appears in your Astro Knights inventory. Click “USE” and this menu should pop up:

Main Menu: This is the main page that pops up. It shows the most popular help topics that people need help on in Astro Knights.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough: This page shows the steps needed to complete Astro Knights! It tells you how to get items, where and when you get to use them, how to solve the tile puzzle, and how to defeat bosses like the Dragotank and Binary Bard. Each step is accompanied by a video guide with a play, pause, and repeat button so you can watch all the action! 😀

Help Topics by Category: The name should explain it all, shouldn’t it? 😀 The help topics are categorized by Key Items, Quest Objectives, and Boss Battles.

Hope you guys find the Poptropica guide and our PHB guides helpful! 🙂

One last note: I might not be able to post much because high school starts for me soon too, so if the authors could save Friday’s posts for me, that would be great! Kthxbai 😀

Got time for a bite?

Ello, everyone! The latest news on the PCB is out! Guess what? That new minigame that I predicted to be the Mystery Train pre-release minigame has been announced!

It’s called D.C. Diner! The creators have promised us that it’s going to basically be a ludicrous, crazy, unfettered, uncontrolled, untamed, wild…and um, ok, you get the point. I know xD. So yeah, they promise it’s going to be one heck of a wild game, in which you have to serve VIP’s on board the train.

So my guess is it’s one of those mad dash games. You have to take their orders and get them their foods fast or they’ll apparently be “unhappy” and I guess leave the restaraunt. So keep watch on the PCB till it comes!

EP out!

Reality is a lovely place… but Poptropica is a better one.

Following into the travels of Dr. Hare, last week we saw him posed in front of yet another ferris wheel. As our blog readers correctly predicted, he was touring London, England, with landmarks like the London Eye and Big Ben behind him! And now, here’s another shot at the same location, but with a different angle, so you get a glimpse of St. Paul’s Cathedral as well.

It’s cool how Poptropica is showing how they can extend to be bigger than just something on your computer screen – the things you can learn from Poptropica are part of the real world too! And, you can apply real world things to Poptropica…

That’s Hermione, Harry Potter, and Ron in Poptropica form! As you may know, the PHB has its own Costumes page, a collection of images of creative costumes you can put on. Someone recently submitted this great picture, and if you’re interested in more, click here.

Also, two Poptropica Creators’ names were recently discovered and added to our database. They are Nate Tufts, Illustrator/Designer working for Poptropica (see his blog) and Nasan Hardcastle, creates and designs artwork for Poptropica.com (see his blog).

On a final note, as I mentioned before, I may have less time to blog here since high school has started, so although you may see less frequent posts from me, I hope the rest of the authors will continue to bring you guys the news in a timely and awesome fashion. I will still be around to work behind the scenes to ensure the blog is updated well. 🙂

World domination: one step at a time

Where’s Waldo? …Oh, you meant Dr. Hare.

Dr. Hare is somewhere out there… and if you can locate and stop him before he conquers the globe, you will win a box of carrots*, courtesy of the 24 Carrot Factory. First he went to an amusement park in Utah – and with the ferris wheel in this snapshot, it looks like he’s still up for more games!

*not an actual prize

Where is he now?
edit: Some readers have suggested that this may be the London Eye!

Would you like some ketchup/mustard/wasabi with that?

Great news Poptropicans! Have you heard of the new upgrades to the Hot Dog and Tofu Dog costumes in the Potpropica store? They now come with new handheld bottles of ketchup, organic ketchup, mustard, and wasabi! Perfect for squirting unsuspecting passerbys! And for squirting Captain Crawfish before nomming him! 😀

New this week in the Poptropica Store

The only thing that can make a hot dog better is some ketchup and mustard. That’s why we’ve upgraded the Hot Dog costumes in the Poptropica Store with a new power!

Now, when you costumize the Hot Dog, you can choose to give your character a bottle of ketchup or mustard to squirt onto unsuspecting Poptropicans. For vegetarians, the Tofu Dog costume now comes with bottles of wasabi sauce and organic ketchup.

Best of all, if you’ve already got the Hot Dog or the Tofu Dog in your inventory, now you’ve got the new powers, too! No need to do anything but costumize them.

Enjoy!

*Captain Crawfish runs away from PHB in fear*
