"Coordinates for Z'Ant"

Posted by Guest on Mar-20-02 at 11:19 AM
I have the coordinates, but Z'Ant does not understand them and tells me to quit wasting time. How (exactly) do you type this information for him?

I assume you're trying to tell him the coordinates in the X Y Z format, right? Z'Ant does not understand that; you'll have to go to Arnika, fix the orbital tracker in the spaceport and have him translate the coordinates to a format "@@:@@", where @ stands for a digit.

I went to Arnika. I have tried the 2x, blank y, blank z. I know it translates 00:00. He still does not understand. Do you remember exactly how you typed it? Thanks.

Which black box are you using? The Arnika one is crap, the other one gives you the info you need. If you have already used the black box reader, the info should be in the journal. I'm also assuming you have fixed the orbital tracker in the other spaceport building, and used that, you should have all you need.
It's not 00:00 by the way.

I recall having trouble with this (along while back) and I think just walked up to him and typed in verbatim what was recorded in my journal (I thought it was the x, y, z coords, not the nn:nn format ... but like I said, that was long a go).

When you put the black box in the slot, yuo get the coordinates in x,y,z fashion. You then need to take them up to the orbital computer (which you need to fix with the ball you got out of Bobo's cage in Trynton) and type them in. It will give you the orbital coordinates (10:24) that you need to give to Z'Ant.

Marc or Llevram, can you please "white out" the orbital coordinates above. I know it's the spoiler board, but some may only want a slight hint (Thanks).

I you'd like to get you experience points fast and simply cannot be asked to go to Arnika again (via Bayjin Shallows to get the box), you can just type in the coordinates (highlight the blank above) and hey presto! claim your prize. Immediately after Z'ant sets you the task...

You can analyze from Black Box, and will get X 1, Y 1, Z 2. So You must enter 1 1 2.

Actually, those numbers are incorrect to give Z'ant. He wants something in the ##:## format.

You must calculate the location from X.Y.Z using tracking computer at the Arnika space port.
