Blocked off digger tunnels..

Although im fairly new to the rare witch project, most of the theories leave out one thing. The blocked off digger tunnels found on the Isle O Hags. now think about it, what was through the first digger path in the Jinjo Village? the grey jinjo house and the side of the red jinjo house. wouldnt there be some sign of grey jinjo graves or something? what if, and what if the grey jinjo's are still alive, and possibly the blocked off digger tunnel you find them in leads to Silo 8, 9, or possibly Ridiculously Secret Area 1.

Also, wouldnt grunty have reinhabited her old lair after she was released from the boulder? it wouldnt make sense for her to just abandon it for no real reason. Plus, when could she have ripped cheato's pages out? she would have had to go to her old lair anyways. maybe a cut-scene which could have taken place in Gruntilda's Lair (Tower Room) where grunty did something to create the boulders in the entrance.

Of course these theories could be easily dis-proven but seriously think about it.

Meh, I remember once, when I had first in my life got to play that gaWooded me waaay back, I was in the wooded hallow, ok? Now you know the digger tunnel that actually goes into the wall a bit and reveals a jinjo? Well I guess I did something weirdy, but when I went to the opposite digger tunnel still in wooded hallow, it was like the same thing. It went back a way for me. When I went in, there was a minjo at the end, and after killing it I noticed that there was a small opening between the boulders, revealing like a kind of light that you see when going through an entry to a world or building or something. THis was a long time ago, and my friend that owned that cartridge has since moved away. I never got behind those boulders too...what a shame...

I'm not making this up either. I think there could be some stuff behind these tunnels. Heh, I remember when I first actually got to buy my own BT about a year ago after going forevers without playing it, then thinking "What the crap, since when was this blocked off?"

I've always thought that the "Ridiculously Secret Area 1" is a deliberately meaningless code implanted by Rare to sand hapless hackers on a wild goose chase. Why else would it have a name like that? I'm sure there aren't any top secret government documents labeled "really really secret information you're not supposed to know".

I've investigated the blocked-off tunnels. By exploting a really weird GameShark glitch that causes the rocks to disappear that I don't feel like explaining in detail right now as it is really complicated and makes the game very unstable, I know that there's nothing but a solid wall behind them. I can get screenshots soon ...
Thos blocked-off tunnels always did intrigue me ... now I know what's behind them, though.

EDIT: Only got it to work in the Jinjo village tunnel, all the other ones were still blocked off. The game got too unstable and crashed anyway.

Do you remember the gameshark code for that, P_L?
I feel like fooling around with it, even though it probably won't do anything.

This is gonna sound strange, but ... it's the audio modifier that actually does it.

8107A482 ????

The digits I used were 003E, the GGM theme. It erases/fuzzes up random textures and stretches some objects really far across the screen. It also slows the game down a bit, and like I said, it's more prone to crashing.

But maybe though...maybe there's a trigger. The wall is like a placeholder, when the trigger is activated, the rocks and the wall will go away revealing something...just maybe.

I'm not sure how many times it has been said that every location, trigger-activated or otherwise, has been hacked into in B-T, B-K, DK64, and several other Rare N64 games ...

You can say ANYTHING in the game needs a trigger.
