Seriously. I'm probably completely unable to do the stupid catching minigame. After months my best score is 1 .

Also, I been to Snakothep dungeon over and over, and there is never anyone there. How am I supposed to even start Goldric quest ?

Please stop the torture.

Uhm...I think you're doing something fundamentally wrong with the catching minigame. Like, 100% completely wrong. It doesn't even look like there is a lack of skill involved because even with absolutely no skill you should at least be able to somewhat consistently get a single hoop so what are you actually doing in that minigame? Like, the only thing I can imagine that would make sense here is that somehow your game keeps jumping ad nauseum which keeps your stupid fly on the absolute top most position at all times or something like that, though that would sound like a bug because that's not what is supposed to happen. I have other suspicions but let's leave that out for now.

The minigame is simple, you start the thing, and click periodically to let the fly jump. Note, you click periodically, this isn't a happy go lucky clickathon to click like a madman. Click when necessary to avoid dropping at the floor and thus losing. Time your clicks for jumps to get through the big opening in the vertical middle of the ring. Side note: the actual hit box of the ring is easier to avoid near the bottom of the ring. Unless you're good enough to try, avoid the smallest and possibly even the smaller rings and only go for the biggest. You can skip individual rings and don't have to try to get through all of them.

The quest requires 15 rings passed in a row OR 90 overall across many attempts. When I started playing I couldn't pass the stupid rings consistently either but the closer I got to the 90 the more easily it worked for me getting the 15 in a row. Though I also think I remember the 90 not properly counting all ring passes for some reason, it will definitely work at some point though so you just need to keep going.

And to start the Goldric quests you need to follow through with the quests from Cowbo Jones (the cactus guy in town) which also requires doing quests for Bandit Bob.

Plus I have no idea what your problem with the Snakenhotep dungeon is as that is as far as I can tell not important for any of those quests, but the solution to empty dungeon halls is to go visit full servers during happy hour. If you're in the screen with the dungeon entry there is a sign that tells you how long it is until happy hour. If you're in the game during happy hour the game will even have a pop up on the left that you can click to get sent there on another server. You can actively switch servers when you hit the menu button on the lower right, then pick the change server button. It will open the server menu and you can navigate that by clicking the arrows and server symbols, clicking the respective numbered server buttons will take you to that server. The fuller a server is populated, that fuller the bar in the numbered button will be. Low population servers have a small portion of the bar filled in green, moderately populated servers will have a moderate amount of the bar filled in yellow, and highly populated servers will have the bar close to filled and is coloured in red. For your best chances to find many people you will want to go to a server with high populations. That doesn't guarantee a filled lobby, but your chances are MUCH higher there.

Thanks for all the info. Will keep on trying.

Best of luck! I know it can be frustrating, VERY frustrating, especially when the game stutters and ruins your run (I have 100% given up on the gaming minigame) but with time you should get most stuff done (things like the highscore achievements are a different story for example). With a game like this you're running the long run, the loooooong run...and best of luck with your patience, I know mine is running dry sometimes xD

Yeah thanks man. My broken English is to blame here. I understand now that the second part means, over all attempts. So I was able to, over a week or so, to accumulate the 90 total ring hops.

Still hugely frustrating though.

Language happens. And you never know, sometimes the language barrier is to blame, sometimes people misunderstand (little headsup, there is one particular objective that says something along the lines of "don't wear either X or Y", you're not supposed to wear either, it's proper English and correct but people get their undies in a bunch claiming they should be allowed to still use either of them), and sometimes Lava just messes up... and sometimes Lava deliberately trolls players. It's all equally possible. Best of luck with your further exploits!
