"This reveals one of the game's few drawbacks: without an undo function, one misclick during a dry spell can mean the end of your game."

Or maybe it's just the price of the cut-throat chocolatier industry. :)

Ah, this will get me to finish the first game, which I think I'm very close to completing. Now I have something to look forward to afterwards... ^^

Are there any significant changes aside from the secret locations and the laboratory? Any aesthetic enhancement? Acoustic enhancements? Enhancements..? It sounds like it could be worth buying... now I've got to finish Chocolatier I.

I bought one sugar too much and couldn't leave a certain city once! D:

I've never played the second Chocolatier before but the first was SWEET (pun intended)!!!

I found this considerably better overall than the original -- I enjoyed the first one, but I thought the factory set-up portion got pretty repetitive, and I got annoyed with the way the game doled out new recipe discoveries on its own schedule rather than mine. The sequel improves on both those things: the arcade-ish portion is more challenging and interesting, and the ability to search for your own recipes considerably improves the pacing.

(Longer review is here.)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, JIG!

I thought that it was much better than the first one, very enjoyable, but I think that they are overpriced since it can easily be beaten in just a few hours of play. After the story mode is complete, I don't really see the use in doing free play mode, since there aren't any more benchmarks to reach or recipes to find. I think it would be fun if they made a chocolatier that was either wide-open on the recipe experimentation where you could make any nasty creation you wanted, but they just wouldn't sell if they weren't good, or if they expanded the story to take much longer and be more complicated than just following directions. I really like the concept and the gameplay, so I guess that's why I want more!

I love Chocolatier 2 one heck of a lot better than the first one. I started the game yesterday morning and won it by 10p or so last night.

There's more to this game and it's a lot more fun. To me it's also easier. I like it that there are different ways for the chocolate to be made. I just didn't like it that you have to go in and remake almost every chocolate again and again. I don't know if it's a glitch or what. Some of them I didn't have to make over and over, but most I did.

This game is more fun too, because of the secrete ingredients.

JD, I like your suggestions of making recipes on our own. I kept looking for recipes to be made with the flowers.

There in the end, I had troubles getting my last three exotics, the chemist didn't like anything I put out in the tray. So I finally went to the recipe book and wrote down what was in every one of the other exotics and went back and was able to make my last three pretty fast.

I did notice I wasn't able to haggle with the people who had the secrete ingredients. I tried, but always got the message back that they were the cheapest or the only ones around, once or twice they just upped the price instead of even trying to haggle.

I finished with only 83 million dollars and I checked the global scores for the last 24 hours and I was down to number 104.

I'm going to play the game again under a different ID and see if I can come out better this time. I did notice that some of the ingredients I bought rotted without notice and some I got notice on. I would buy some ingredients way ahead of time because they were cheap and I knew I'd need them and I'd lose them.

I wish they'd put that menue box over on the side instead of at the bottom, so we could see everything in the box at one time.

sorry for the mistakes in the last post, I hit "post" instead of preview.

Warning! Spoiler Alert!

I have put a lot of time in the search of the exotics. Here are all the exotics you need to make in your lab:

EXOTICS
1. Dark Coffee and saffron pearls = Sugar + Cacao Beans + Cacao Beans + Coffee Beans + Saffron (Sahara)
2. Spicy Chocolate Smooches = Currants (sahara) + Sugar + Cacao Beans + Cacao Beans + Cayenne Pepper
3. Tropical Fruit Ganache = Mahajange Cacao + Sugar + Indonesian Cacao + Mangoes + Amazonian Plantains
4. Amazonian Fire Ants = Sugar + Fire Ants + Coconut Shavings + Amazonian Plantains
5. Spicy Clove, Ginger and Anise Ganache = Sugar + Cacao Beans + Cloves + Anise + Fresh Ginger
6. Varietal Nibs = Mahajange Cacao + Indonesian Cacao + Cote D’Ivorian Cacao + Cayenne Cacao + PC
7. Candied Orange Peels = Mahajange Cacao + Sugar + Anise + Oranges + Costa Rican Cacao
8. Sweet Honey Hearts Mahajange Cacao + Sugar + Cote D’Ivorian Cacao + Caramel + Lavendar Honey
9. Tea and Toasted Pecan Ivories = Sugar + Cote D’Ivorian Cacao + Cote D’Ivorian Cacao + Black Tea + Pecans
10. Pumpkin Macadamia Clusters = Fijian Pumpkin + Sugar + Macadamia Nut + Truffle Powder
11. Varietal Dark Chocolates Wild Cherries = Mahajange Cacao + Sugar + Wild Island Cherries + Philippines Cacao + Costa Rican Cacao

hi

where can i found (Amazonian Plantains)?

Amazon plantains are in the first secrete place. It's in the Amazon. If you haven't gotten the secrete place, you will before long. One of the people you do a task for, gives you the secrete place. There are three secrete places, The amazon, the saraha and the himalayas.

One thing you need to do, is have lots of money to go into any of them. The plantains are very expensive, I've never found them under $1500 before, most of the time they're way over $2200.

How do i upgrade my factories to make infusions?

I'm at a part in the game where they want me to make a truffle with Bing Cherries, Anise & a varietal cacao. But I have no idea how to make it. What is a varietal cacao? I can't find that.
No matter what I put into the tray, it gets regected. Does anyone know the excect recipe for this truffle?

Its a nice game way harder then the first considering every ingredient is like 50% more pricey then in Chocolatier 1 Currently am stuck trying to figure out how to keep my ingredients stocked i have gone broke like 3 times and i just started the game. Something that never happened in #1 .... Also Does anyone have a list of which ports sell certain ingredients and who is at what port? there was one for chocolatier 1 and it helped out so much.

i have gotten to the last stage of the game. i need one recipie to finish, and i can't find it anwhwere, no matter whom i talk to. The recipie is for the African Dark Infusions w/Orange. I was told to talk to this one lady at the Obelisk in Buenos Aries, but clicked the wrong button when she asked me to make her some squares with orange. i think that's what i did wrong... any suggestions on how to fix it?

i can not find cocaonut shavings anywhere??? where are they???

here are some helpful hints for you guys:

- keep your chocolate empire expanded through buying all factories &

shops (it's part of your mission as well...)
- random cards appear once in a while, you might encounter some

ingredients destroyed for particular reasons
- you will be using various transportation to travel around e.g.

cruise ship, train, camel riding, hiking or even airplane
- some ingredients are seasonal items so you should maximize your

revenue by buying & using them in their seasons
- cacao beans are available at cities situated along the equator only
- keep checking your factory status since the production might be

stalled due to ingredient shortage
- you can boost your production amount by matching ingredients in the

same color
- you collect chocolate recipes through characters you meet along the

journey or try combining ingredients in "Chocolate Tasting

Laboratory"
- shopkeepers of your own chocolate stores are good sources for new

recipes and market trends
- once enter particular port, you should visit every building since

there might be some assignments / recipes available
- there will be new places (mountain, monument, park, temple, bridge

etc.) for you to visit on each port, you will get alert messages

about this
- strategically plan your journey so you don't waste time travelling

places
- you discover ingredients through buying them, this will reflect

your ingredients for your lab test

i really enjoy playing Chocolatier 2 for 3 days in a row. this is my

most anticipated PC games ever since i love the concept of the game

so much. i've already discovered all 12 exotic recipes. i'm currently

at the (final???) assignment to produce 100 cases of all exotic

chocolates for Baumeister Confections H.Q. at San Francisco. any

further comments are welcome!!! ;-)

I cant seem to sell my stuff for a lot money...what's going on there?? I only have 3 factories though...but it feels like Im half-way into the story...How come I cant crack a million??

I'm almost at the end of the game, but i can't make the last exotic chocolate, and the last truffles recipe, that's the only problem i've got and i'm in my 600M now,
how can i end the game, thanks

- truffle powder listed in (xxx) is not initially available at the beginning of the game. i'm not sure when it will be available but i've tallied the ingredients list i have and truffle powder just came up in some cities which are not on my list.

- all in all, San Jose is where you can get both cacao beans and truffle powder at the beginning of the game.

- chocolates with more expensive/rare ingredients sell better than those with simple ingredients. (of course!!)
i think producing chocolate sauces, infusions, truffles, exotics yield better revenue than producing those simple squares. however, you can produce more and more of squares than those complex recipes in 1 week.

to second2none

how did you acquire the 12th exotic recipe and the blended cacao ginger spice truffles

thanks

Thanks to the anonymus poster who posted the exotics recipes. That was a big help. I'm stuck like crazy trying to get the rest of my truffle recipies. Stupid thing doesn't like any combination that I put in for the wild berry truffle. I did manage to find a couple just by accident. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! This game rocks so much more than the first one did. I beat that game twice in a weekend!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

San jose go there, they have truffles

I have been everywhere and made all the recipes I can make, but nobody will give me the recipe for raspberry squares, and I can't finish the game until I get it. Who gives this out, and where, please? Thanks!

I just bought the factory in New York and it seems the game has gotten stuck. It says the factory needs modifications and it has an X over the ingredients thing but I dont have any, but how am I supposed to add ingredients to it, if it isnt mine? Any help? Did anyone else run ino this? Plus none of the buttons seem to work when I click them.

Hello its me again, I got so far as the Himalayas. The guy is also telling me to get to the next level I need to market more products from my lab. I think those ingrediants are in the sahara. One problem, I dont have the sahara. Someone Please help me like jj did.

i can't finish the game. i have all the recipes. i've made and sold all the recipes. i have all the factories, and 4 stores (i don't know if there are more to get). now i'm going around to every building in every city and talking to everyone and no one is telling me to do anything, and nothing new is happening. am i missing something? help is greatly appreciated.

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pZ88MhFC39__JRstHhHciGA&gid=1

for quest database. (don't think the other parts are complete though.

Hey ppl. It took me a while, but I am now a master chocolatier! I have done almost everything except invent a few truffles, pralines, and exotics. I will use the exotic chart, but does anyone have charts for the invented ones for pralines and truffles? Help in past, Thanks again

This is my final comment, after this, I will never come to this forum, so you wont have to worry about my pointless questions that seem to state: you're-going-to-find-me-in-a-minute-but-you-are-commenting-on-a-website-asking-for-help-anyway kind of questions. My final question is: Where do you get the recipies for Filipino Cacao Milk Chocolate Truffles and Blended Cacao Ginger Spice Truffles?

I cant upgrade my factories. What do I need to do? Im just making and selling chocolate squares and its getting old. Please help

how do i make infusions? I cant upgrade

the blended cacao ginger spice truffles get it from russia in a building there, just every building,

you can't upgrade your factory maybe you are out of money,and also you have to have all the ingridients

Hey

I seem to have a slight problem, I was in cairo and Cyrus rush asked me to make him some prailines before i even had the factory upgrade, I accidentally clicked yes and now I cant seem to find anyone or anything to help me upgrade

because they all say come back when your not so busy.. is there a way of cancelling tasks? or just getting the upgrade without starting a new game?

I am now the chief executive. I have finished all the recipes. I have 400mILLION. iS THIS IT? IS THE GAME OVER?

PLEASE HELP.

i'm stuck and i dont know what to do..

Please tell me how to upgrade my factory so that i can make INFUSIONS??

Posted by: Anonymous | January 24, 2008 4:29 AM

Go to one f the factories you have. Select change recepy. Select the infusion you want to make. If your factoy is not equipped to make infusons it will tell you that in order to make them you need to buy the equipment. You just need to have that amount of money they ask and automaticly they will upgrade the factory. From tha moment you are able to make infusions.

how do you get sweet and spicy truffle? it's the last truffle i need

Thanks Che! Anyone know how to get Filipino Cacao Milk Chocolate Truffles?

I found it! Jay, I apologize for clogging this forum. I have found all the recipies and I thank all who helped me! You guys rock!

I am having trouble getting my infusion pan. I accepted to make banana infusions for Sara B. but, I have no infusion pan. OOPS. I have the bananas, I have the recipe. I just have no pan. So far I have opned new ports including Paris, I have tasting lab, I have amazon opened, I have tasting lab,have made recipe for choc. ants. I have over $5,000,000.00 but I cannot get infusion upgrade. I have continually talked to everyone at every port but still no upgrade. what am I doing wrong. Please help.

gman

I've done everything and discovered all the recipes and I've sold all the recipes, but I can't seem to get the final task. Everytime I find Alexandra she keeps telling me to make sure I'm developing exotics, but I've developed all the exotics. I've been to every port and every building multiple times I don't know what to do I'm stuck and I need help please.

Alix, I'm having the same problem as you. How do you finish the game?

Hi, I have one last truffle to make I have all the ingredients (I think) and the man at the lab says he can't make any thing new, v. annoying help!!

Hello!! I am trying to give a dozen roses and a dozen tulips to the wife of the store owner in Cairo. I went and bought the flowers and when I visit her, she just tells me that something is up with her husband - that he must have a suprise. Does anybody know how I actually give them to her? Many thanks in advance!!

Does anyone know who is Teddy Baumeister? Who are his parents?

Hi i have a problem after i travel and buy some ingredients when i go back to san francisco they go away! Can someone help me?

***SPOILER***

The last recipe you need is probably in Moscow. Go and visit all of the buildings and a guy should give you the recipe.

Is the game over after you take over the company? It seems like there´s not really an ending...

I need help. I have to find ginger. I know it is in Bombay. I had a guy tell me he could sell me a ticket or something for $500,00 or I could go see some guy in Cairo. I chose to go see the guy in Cairo and cannot find him!! and I am stuck on the task of making ginger sauce for the guy in Russia. How do I get Bombay to open now?

I am at the last stage. I have 5 more exotics to make but I am stuck in the Himalayas. I don't have enough money to get out. HELP!!!! I bought too much black tea and I need to see if I can undo it so I can get to port to sell and make some money.

hey im stuck >>>> and i need more money do you know where to get a lot of money?

I need Help! I purchase on Amazona ingredients and now no have $$ to bak factory

HELP!!!!

I can't figure out the praline recipe using the cloves and other ingrediants from Mahajanga. Can anyone help me out?

Aren't the pralines the hardest chocolates to make?

Chocolatier 2 is basically easier than the first one. I suggest that buy as many factories as you can during the start and assign diff. kinds of chocolates to make:
e.g. San Francisco-Squares
New York-Infusion
Paris-Sauce bla. bla.
It will make your money go large. I have achieved $40 Million when I was just an Entrepeneur...

Hi. PLEASE, SOMEBODY HELP ME! Now I'm playing, and I've reached the Entrepreneur grade. Now, I was speaking with Alex Tangye and I'm a Novice. Why??

Where can I find the recipe for the African dark chocolate with Orange? This is the only recipe, which I haven't got from the infusions.
And where can I find the ginger??
I'm playing, and I've reached the Entrepreneur grade. Now, I was speaking with Alex Tangye and I'm a Novice. Why??
Please somebody help me, I'm stuck!!

How can I end the game? I am now an Executive... And the gameis not at the end. What I'm supposed to do?

in case you still want to know:
betty44:
are you getting fireworks in San Francisco? If so, the story portion of the game is over.
Les:
there's a quest you need to go on. Keep visiting the buildings in the ports you have open.
Meredith:
go to chocolate tasting lab. look towards the bottom of the screen and make sure "pralines" is selected. Start with vanilla and cloves.

I have all the recipes except for the Tea and Toasted Pecan Ivories I have all the secret locations and all of the varietal cocoas but the lab won't let me create anything else! Any suggestions? thanks bunches!

i have exactly the same problem as amie, i have loads of money, have opened all the ports, have all the secrets opened, and have all the ingredients, yet i have i recipe missing, which is the tea and toasted pecan ivories exotics, i keep going back to my lab, but it wont let me make them, and i have been everywhere and spoke to everybody, and i have no more tasks to complete so that they might give me the recipe. so i have hit a dead end, please help, as i am so close and yet so far.

To the unfortunate few I saw posting who were stranded in places with no money to escape: there is no escape, you must restart (as noted in the review, there is no "undo"). Suggestion: before you go to a place, the game tells you how much it will cost. Make sure you have at least twice that much money before you go, unless you already know you'll be able to sell things when you get there to raise the money for the ticket out.

hi

ive been playing this game all week and have obtained every recipe except the cayenne dark choc sauce.... anyone remember where it is or how to get it????

im desperate

Can anyone help me out?
I've been playing for a while here...I'm an Entrepreneur right now, and I've been traveling around to all of my available ports (except Shanghai, Manila, Jakarta, Sydney, and the last secret port) and I've been to my lab multiple times. I haven't been given any tasks or new recipes or tips, they're just telling me that if I want to move up to Chocolatier I'll have to create some more new recipes at my lab, and every time I go to the lab it says that they're unable to develop any marketable recipes with the ingredients I have available (I have all of the ingredients available to me from the ports I have access to).
Could I be missing something or is my game just stuck and I need to start over or what? Thanks in advance for any help!
