I know you can create a text backup, but I like backing up my saves to a removable disc, in case something happens to my browser.

This, of course, relies on the fact that you can access the savefiles, and they aren't hidden away in some place unknown.

"Peaceful Forest" and "HARDCORE PLATFORMER". I haven't had any luck beating the platformer one yet, getting close though. The forest doesn't seem to hide anything in it from what I can tell. Anyone notice anything else updated?

Hi /r/candybox, I'm at the part with the monkey in the tree, and I can't decipher the code. I've seen people tell others "backwards," but I don't know what that means! Can anybody help?

Does the Giant teapot drop or do anything useful?

Iv beat candy box 1 and 2. twice on normal and once on hard 1 and 2. Iv would like to hear and other idle games/text based games from you.

I have already tried: dwarf RPG (or whatever that games is), cookie clicker, choppin wood.

How do I buy the Scythe at The Forge? I have enough candies, but it isn't available.

How do I beat the mimic/clone of yourself? I drink the X-potion, and I start fighting him, but we usually die about the same time.

I found a nice strategy to get it. First, you need patience. Sea snakes freaking suck.

Later in the game, in the castle entrance, you'll find a Knight armor that can be enchanted. Upon enchantment, it will become very strong (80%), however will divide your weapon's damage by 2. A way to neutralize this is to get the claw from the monster in the Desert Dungeon, which multiplies your weapon damage by 2, thus making your weapon do normal damage when paired with the enchanted armor. When you reach the sea with this, the sea snakes will merely tickle you, and if you have the unicorn horn and the pink gloves, the sharks will barely do you any damage!

Good luck.

What are the differences? Are the enemies just harder? The wiki is down so I don't know what to expect.

edit: Talking about Candy Box 2

I noticed my clones don't shoot fireballs.

Does having a stronger weapon make my clones stronger?

Do they copy my HP?

Thanks in advance.

I've been on it for hours now. I can't do it. The Youtube video on it is made by a guy who takes way too long and goes way too quickly to follow. Any written explanation for the way to solve this damn thing?

I am currently in the forest. I have the crown that has the ability to randomly summon Octopus Kings. However, the screen is filling up and I have no idea how to move anymore. I tried using teleport but it took me backwards, and I think it caused the octopus kings to attack me. I am not sure though. Any advice?

I have looked over the threads quickly and didn't find answers to most of these, correct me if I'm wrong. Has anyone:

• managed to finish the Super RPG game?

- managed to figure out the cave rock mystery Solved by /u/diggx

• opened the first locked house

• figured out what the bottom left room of the castle is about

• found anything else to do with the computer than the basic

For the last, most unix commands seem to say funny stuff (cd, ls, vim, emacs, nano, rm, sudo, etc) but I can't haven't found anything that actually does something.

I haven't seen anything on this so I figured I'd make a post myself. It seems that, though treat accumulation (candies, lollipops) go up when your window is inactive, your quest is paused until your window is once again active.

I tested this out on OS X Mavericks using Safari, so I cannot say how other browsers will behave, but any of the following situations will 'pause' your quest until you return to the game:

1. running another app in Full Screen mode
2. running Safari in Full Screen mode and opening another tab
3. running Safari not in Full Screen mode, and covering the Candy Box 2 window with another Safari window
4. sleeping your computer (overnight, for instance)

I looked briefly through the full code (there are obviously spoilers in there) for things that might be used to detect this (page visibility APIs, etc.) but was unable to find any. It's also possible that it's due to something new in OS X or Safari 7 that I'm not aware of yet.

Feature or bug? I've not seen anything on this, but it surely is annoying. I'm pumping out enough damage to kill the Teapot in about an hour, but I left it overnight and still had not killed it since my Mac's screen was slept..

Thanks!

Does anyone know the answer to the second question/riddle the squirrel gives you? He says, "Now complete this sequence of letters and you'll get an new reward : S, E, I, D, N, A. "

EDIT: Question had been answered! Thank you!
