This is an area that has caused many people a problem. Are you sure both pins are out. Try moving the mouse all around the screen to change views maybe you can catch a glimpse of a hotspot. I've even used ALT-TAB and again to go back to the game. Sometimes this gets the game back on track. With a puzzle coming up later I had to do that several times. It is comparable to kicking the coke machine.

So far I haven't found a specific answer.

Good Luck!

Bill

I have one where Kate is in the area where she collects seaweed and is given a piece of root by a Youkol, You back track a little, but not much. I'll send it off now.

I can't, my game is glitched, Oscar is always on the side of the firetruck now. :'(

Oh, ok Thanks so much Bill.

The problem is the order: find cutters; move truck; get ladder into position; climb ladder; Cut away vent guard; now deal with hose stuff

Thanks Bill, you're a life saver.

Ok, I did the lens and mirrors puzzle in the pool and Kate said something like, there that's it but I can't find the Temple in the pool?

Never mind, I redid the puzzle and it worked.

I had to go out and get groceries so we could eat. Sorry - I'm glad you got it. To me this was the hardest puzzle. I had trouble following the colored light streaks, especially the green or the blue. The red is the easy one. I think Kate says that after each color reaches the gems. You apparently had one more to go to get the complete puzzle the first time.

Cheers,

Bill

Hi Bill, I'm surprised I eventually got it. But now I'm having trouble with the last puzzle, Ayawaska's Staff is missing from my inventory, it shows 2 knives. I went back to check the chest for it but its gone. So I'm gonna go back to the Temple completed save and redo it all.

Your going to finish it. Have Heart! It is too bad that it is that unstable at times. I don't guarantee that this will work, but it might I just ask it to continue my last save and it did, but without any hotspots so Kate would have to stay the rest of her life on top of the water-tank. No way to get her down so I quit the game again and restarted it and then clicked on Continue, this time I got a hotspot so she could go down. Give that a try. never know. I had my save going bananas the first time I did the Gem puzzle with mirrors. ALT-TABS, etc. and restored it twice to be able to finish it

I also see that you have learned a valuable lesson - Back up your save after finishing a new chore. Gives you something to go back to.

cheers

Bill

Hi Bill, Good news, I finished the game. Thanks to you. My Grandson won't be here this weekend, so I'm going to play it again and try to get through the ice breaker puzzle myself. I can't believe I did the Temple mirrors but couldn't do the ice breaker.

You did great!

I'm struggling with the crane and Coal into the boat puzzle right now trying to come up with a good way to explain it. I know the first time I got the coal into the boat it was guess and I'll be darned- what did I do. My second time was oh What did I do. I'll do a third and fourth time tomorrow. Getting the cart with the crane was only two steps this time

Bill

Thanks. I had trouble there, then realized I didn't open the place to put the coal. lol Have a great weekend.

YouTube walkthrough shows the procedure pretty well.

Thank you, but I have it now. Worked it out last night.

Hi Bill, I finally did the Ice Breaker puzzle myself, during the replay.
