I'm way behind you. I've just started exploring the 3rd pyramid and thus far have been stopped in my tracks by the lack of a key and have been crushed in the cramped chamber.

And I'm still haunted by my inability to get the pendant from the satyr in the second pyramid.

Plus I simply refuse to use ...

I'm having the same problem with the Satyr. I had the idea that if I could get it to chase me long enough to get to the room with satyr engraved on the floor it would fall through or something - but so far no luck.

And once I get to the secret chamber I can't figure out how to get out. I keep ...

Thanks Alastair. I've made my way into the second pyramid but alas I'm out of light... Much too late tonight to explore further. I really should have skipped dinner/dishes/laundry so I could have played earlier...

..."the Great God Acro-Bat"... No amount of praying has helped and I still can't seem to devine how to use the pole.

I keep thinking that the pyramid with the sword (since it is described as the first pyramid) is the place to focus on, but I can't come up with anything that works at either the crack in the stonework or the wall with the hieroglyphs. Pushing, pulling, moving, raising, prying, prising, levering ...

Same here. Can't get past the slab or get back out of the 1st pyramid. I keep thinking there should be something to do at the breezy "cracks in the stonework" area.

I have: flask, spade, torch (which is already dying and I sure haven't found any gold coins to pay for more batteries), pole and ...

I've also tried model-b without success. Rats, I was really starting to enjoy this game.

Yup, I'm getting the same crash/freeze with the fox/grebe now that I am properly equiped. Has it been decided whether or not this makes the game unwinnable?

Thanks - I completely forgot about the barge. I'm doing my best to get caught up. Now if I can just manage to get back after obtaining the emerald & shell without getting killed or ending right back in the storeroom...

It's good to be back Terri.

Something to look foward to then :)

I just started playing so I know I'm way behind the rest of you but I seem to be stuck: neither the bat nor the grebe will talk to me and I keep getting killed by the bear, any number of different guards, the Red Baron & by ending up trapped in a ravine. Nudge ...

I like the idea of the Want to Play area, but I do find it a bit confusing when I then have to switch to another section to discuss the game.

Welcome to the club Smile I think that's where the rest of us are stuck, too.

Let's see (thinking out loud), I haven't figured out: the safe (assuming the clock time is the combo)...the do not press button...the hole in the ceiling...the croc in the moat..the empty wine bottle...the box in the ...
