Trespasser Walkthrough From 1997! - Part Seven - Pine Valley

Post by Mickey »

Pine Valley

The entrance to the Pine Valley is a large gate blocking off the North Road. Anne must open this gate (insert puzzle here). After doing so, she finds herself at a high point looking down a long valley. The trees here are totally different than what she's seen before - giant pines, thick-trunked redwoods, and sparser undergrowth over a bed of pine needles make up this scene. The noise of jungle animals is conspicuously absent, and the whole area seems empty, but threatening. At various points, Anne gets a glimpse of the extent of the valley - hundreds of trees descending towards the glittering ocean, far away. The floor of the Pine Valley is dominated by a deep gorge, and Anne will spend much of her time going from one side of the gorge to the other.

Albertosaur chase
Unfortunately, not long after getting back on to the North road, an avalanche blocks Anne's progress again. A handy nearby dry stream offers a set of ledges which Anne can use to descend back to the lip of the gorge. However, just as she slides down the last slope, she hears the angry roar of an albertosaur from her right. At this point, Anne knows enough not to try to kill this monster, but instead runs like hell down the easiest path through the woods. Here and there, the cleared path narrows, and Anne can duck between two close trees, which the Albertosaur will either have to knock over or find another way around, gaining her precious seconds. A quick jump up some rocks gets her onto a path around a ridge, and out of harms way for a little while, but the path runs out and she has to descend again. Then, suddenly, a large avalanche blocks any further possibility of running, and Anne must quickly decide to slide down its face into the gorge. The albertosaur chooses not to follow, roaring his frustration from several meters above Anne's head.

What irritates me is the "lack of jungle noise" and the presence of dinosaurs. What are the feeding upon? They can't just hunt for herbivore dinosaurs as that way the amount of food is gone in short time. I would guess Hammond let recreated an eco-system somewhat working. After all he spend all his fortune on it.

Notice how this level ends upon reaching the Power Plant, unlike the currently known version where the GTP was merged into PV...

So the GTP has been originally closed off from the rest of the island (meaning no dinosaur access in the vicinity)? Something which looked off in the harbor map too. The entire dock area is closed off by fences and what not else yet a T-Rex and a Trike (has it been a Trike? not sure anymore) roams the area. Always had been astonished how they ended up there.

Stegosaurus, close.

The made it over the ridge by the ocean, in that area beyond the Emily, I assume.

So the level ends by entering the Geothermal Plant? The Geothermal Plant isn't part of Pine Valley in this version? Wow, didn't see that coming.
Looks like this concept did well in its transition to the actual level, except for the swamp area.
Also, why is it so important for Anne to stay up on the North road? Why can't she just descent into the gorge and stay there?

I think they didn't add where the dinosaurs where because they added them after they started to build the levels, so they could add them to good locations
