Secret recipe challenge - no sound playing.

[East ClintW00D]

No sound playing that would indicate the right ingredient used for the "Secret Recipe". Music and other sound effects work though.

Sound works on Kongregate, also no "ADD Anima/Altera/... to Cauldron" implemented yet; that probably did smth with the audio. Found out the combo is Summoning x 3, Incantation, Summoning. When doing that combo in steam version does not complete the challenge. I suppose it's not finishable until fix? I imported 2 different saves to Kongregate both saves yield the same result/ingredient combo in browser version. Steam version doesn't allow me to finish challenge with this combo, so not just audio but finishing the challenge itself appears to be "broken".

The secret recipe is random, so it's normal that the Kong's recipe doesn't work on Steam.

No challenge-specific sound (right ingredient picked) playing is my issue.

[Jey]

Yes, I get it.
I was just pointing out that " Steam version doesn't allow me to finish challenge with this combo" doesn't imply "so not just audio but finishing the challenge itself appears to be "broken"."

I pinged Tharifaz about the bug (no visual/audio cue).

I imported a save from steam version while the challenge was running to browser/Kong version. Meaning, I had the same challenge running simultaneously (Steam+Kong). At that point the recipe is already determined, no? You telling me that there still is a randomization process occurring, which is altering the recipe in the Kong version? Thanks for responses and pinging Tharifaz.

That's actually a good question. Admittedly, I have no idea how it works in the code exactly (when is the recipe determined).
I suppose that's something I could test once the challenge is fixed.

OK, I had the same problem. I couldn't hear a sound for the correct ingredient. I found a post on Kongregate and it mentions a ball on the left side when you get a correct ingredient. Sure enough there is a small metallic ball that appears on the ground next to the ShardPool when you get a correct ingredient. You don't need to listen for the sound. Make sure you have all the visual options checked in the system options or you may not see the ball.

There are circle indicators when you use a correct ingredient.

The sound work on steam if you got the sound enabled. It's just that you don't actually complete the challenge by putting ingredient into the cauldron. THAT doesn't work and won't play any sound.

What you need to do is to use 5 spells in the correct order to complete the achievement. Each time you use the correct type of spell (incantation, evocation or summoning) you will hear a bell which means you got the correct type in the sequence of 5 spells. With very little try and error you will get the random recipe. It is random for everyone but easy to get once you understand what to do.

Kong is outdated for years (might change soon actually). Don't rely on it.

Yes, there's a grey ball appearing so you don't have to rely on audio cue. Also yes, you need to use spells (guessing it with ready ingredients would be way too simple. I don't know if they can be disabled for the challenge, can ask). The recipe is random and bound to seed, so it's the same on same save/session every time. But it also means it will be different for kong (if kong's code for that challenge is even the same, which I doubt) and steam.
