I seem to be having trouble with the starting point for the floor tile puzzle. I read both w/t's but can't seem to get it to work. Could someone offer up some assistance or maybe a screenshot of the starting point? Thanks.

Keymaster, if you visualize the room with the path in it as a huge clock, with the stairs going down to the path at about six o'clock, the place where you start the path will be at about two o'clock.

Also, this puzzle is VERY picky about where you step, so even if you are starting at the right place, it may be that you are stepping one step too far somewhere. Be sure to always move one step at a time, and don't get too near the edges of the path. When you are in the middle, there may be a hesitation before the path goes down even if you are right...

There are two floor tile puzzles!

If you're talking about the one in the circular room with buttons that switch the light on and off: from where you stand on the buttons: the start point is a quarter of the way around the room in an anticlockwise direction from the foot of the stairs - halfway between the foot of the stairs and the door, on the side opposite the balconies with buttons on them. If you look across from the balconies, you'll notice that there are a series of buttresses above the floor, most of which have red marks on the end of them but one of them doesn't. The one which doesn't marks the start point.

If you're talking about the one housed in the pyramid: It's on the right hand side of the control button as you look at the button. It's the tile which, when glowing blue/green, has one of the three tree symbols on it.

As a note to AM's post--if the floor tile puzzle you are talking about is the one with the pictures of trees on it, Bert Jamin has a picture of the path you need to take in his walkthrough here at GameBoomers...

Keymaster, I was trying to get back to it from the POTS relto linking book. It didn't work.

Hi Jenny
Kay

Kay, you should take that poor head of yours and put it to bed!!! Don't worry about anything other than getting better for a while... :kiss:

Yes, it was the one with the lights that switch on and off. Thanks for the hints everybody. I'll give it another try.

Hope you feel better too, Kay.

Thanks everybody. Sometimes I think those games know when I give up and go for help. I was more careful with my steps and it worked - I think I may have been cutting one of the corners too tightly.

Looking forward to the other two Uru games as well!

I am having trouble showing the path in the circle room with the tile path. When I press the buttons-2,3, and 5-there is a dark pattern on the floor but I cannot tell what it light and what is dark. The pattern is not clear. I have tried to follow the wt but cannot tell where to walk. Please help!!!!!

If you have been pressing buttons, there's an excellent chance that you've gotten some turned off or on that shouldn't be. Try this:

Turn off all the buttons, so that the floor is completely dark and none of the buttons is lit.

Then press the 2, 3, and 5 button in that order.

Now you should see a definite shadowy path that starts at about 2:00 (if the room were a big clock) and winds to the center. This is what you walk on, and be very careful not to go off into the white areas. I actually used "walk" here, rather than "run", and in a couple of tricky places, I took it one step at a time...

I squared up right against the buttress before I started walking towards the middle, and this seemed to help - I think.
