I need some help with the area where he is trying to get through the room with swinging axes and spikes. I get to the middle and then get whomped by the middle one. I have looked at WT's and they aren't helping much. Any other little insights or how about a save from someone? I would greatly appreciate it. So would my arthritic hands.

Hope Kay got you cleared up last night. I deleted the new third thread you made on this game and added the posts here on the second thread. Best to add anymore questions on the game here on this thread.

Just to add to yout TG2 question:
Yes, the entrance is where you came in.

Based on the stand clue seen at the hallway - This is what should be done:
Turn the first snakes flanking the giant snake head facing the entrance.
Turn the middle snakes to face the water source.
Turn the 2 outside last snakes to face the entrance.
Turn the last middle snake to face the water source.

But looking while facing the giant snake, see that the right side snakes are all in position already. So work only on the left side snakes and the middle back snake.

Oops you are right. I should have just added this to my other post but I was so frustrated last night I could have screamed. I was also have problems with Curse. Anyway, I guess I am being a little slow you all but that is what is still confusing me. I figured that where I was was the entrance and the three snakes on the right were fine. It is the three snakes and not two. Maybe that is what I am not getting. No offense guys but you aren't being specific. You are repeating what was already said on the WT. I didn't know about the stairs Riceburner so will check that out but how about left and right and how many I am turning. As far as I was concerned, I did turn the left and middle but alas not so. When we are talking about towards the water, are we talking about the water on either side of the stairs? I guess I don't grasp games like I use to. Short term memory loss and I hate it. So you all, please be a little more specific. I would greatly appreciate it.

Renee,

Let's do it this way - go back to a saved game before touching any snakes.
1. Enter the snake room and face the snake head.
2. Do not touch the snakes on the right side.
3. While facing the snake's head - go to the left side snakes.
4. Turn the first snake so that the head faces the entrance you came through on.
5. Turn the middle snake to face backwards - that is it is facing the back of the room where the water flows.
6. Turn the last snake on the left side so that the head faces the entrance you came through.
7. Now, go to the middle snake in the last row and turn its head so that it faces the water source or backwards away from the entrance you came through.

Then - Go to the front stand, face the giant snake and insert - then pull the bull-headed staff from Sin room on the stand. Watch the cutscene.

Thanks Mag and Riceburner. I knew that is what you meant originally and I thougth that is what I had done but must have missed something so will try again. I know I am going to regret asking this Riceburner but what do you mean about the game being a doozy???

Renee, I just meant that this game provokes more questions and frustrations then any other recent game on GB. The positioning of Raven, the maze like structure, and the difficulty of all the puzzles have given GB'ers fits. One thing for sure, when you finish this game, you are either raising your fist and shouting "hooray" or vowing never to play anything like this ever again. Does that answer your question?

If this game is going to keep being this way, I may not play it. I now need the save to jump on the elevator or I should say right after. I have looked at your WT MaGtro and it is not happening. I tried the little hints and that elevator is going up way too fast. It doesn't seem to be able to slow down at all or get him running that way. Save Please? Is the whole game like this? Not fun at all so far!
