Hi, I am ready to assemble the weapon, but I found that I was missing the piece from the puzzle box which I had not completed earlier in the game, so I went waaaaay back to a previous save, got the part and came back to my present save, but the part is not in my inventory. Does this mean I have to go back to the previous save and replay from there, or is there a way I can return to the cottage from the volcano and get the part?

I can't remember if you can get back to the lighthouse from the volcano but you CAN from the temple. So can you get to the temple from the volcano ? If you can then that's the way to go to get the missing part

so that means I have to get back on the train, then take the submarine to the temple and go through the portal to the cottage ? I can't remember where I got on the train, and I already have the part in a new save (40) and the save where I have to assemble the weapon is save(39). I wonder if I go all the way back to the cottage will the part still be there, since I already went waaaay back to an earlier save and got it.--I know this sounds so convoluted.

can I delete that last save I made when I got the part?

I'm nervous of giving you the wrong advice, dorish, since I can't remember my previous plays in clear enough detail - and on my current replay, although I've not yet reached the volcano, I HAVE solved the box puzzle in the lighthouse. However, you could actually download an appropriate save from the profuse collection Louis has on his site, rather than doing anything too risky otherwise .... (His saves are all clearly labelled.) I'm not on my computer right now but could send you the site address when I am. Just let me know .. OK ??

hi Mad, Thanks for your patience. I went into Louis' website and into the part where he has the Lighthouse saves, but I can't access them. Its telling me that I may not have the necessary permissions to open the file.
Doreen If you post a note over in Glitches, I believe they can help you with that message. I think it's a simple thing, like maybe making sure you are running as the administrator, but they can tell you exactly what to do.

Thanks, Marian !! I downloaded the saves myself some weeks ago without any problem, dorish. [Just in case I might need to use one at some time in the game.] So I hope the issue can be resolved for you EDIT :See your PM's

The savegames of Louis are made with the game from GOG with ScummV. The saves will probally don't work in the original CD version. Lion_1251 p.s. I just downloaded the file with the saves, just click on it and the file is downloaded, unpack the RAR file and choose the right save.

Dorish, Just to be clear, if you go back to a previous save to fix or change something, you must continue from there in order to have the change work. In your case, it would mean replaying everything you did up until the point you discovered you didn't have the proper item. You should be able to get back to the house from the volcano, but it is a long trip, so I hope the save works for you.

If you can then that's the way to go to get the missing part That's what I mentioned to dorish but I think she just got fed up with the whole caboodle. Can't say I blame her. Lighthouse is NOT an easy game
