Hi,I am Hoping that someone can help me please,I am in the lab hell with the timed puzzle I cannot find the lamp under the table I have 2 keys that wont open door to urns room,does anyone have a save after this puzzle I am so frustrated its taking the enjoyment out of it.Thanks

Ladyjane are you in the third level of this game? I remember something under the table in this part of the game but thought it was a flask of oil? Anyway, stand somewhere near the middle of that table and pan slowly until you get an active cursor. The keys might open the desk.
Be sure to save your game before you try to open the desk though.

Hi Thanx much Sue,My next quandary is the scorpion puzzle I have tried x 8 and no luck is there some trick to it?
Thank you again in anticipation

Hi, I should qualify my previous post by saying I am in level 4 ruined antechamber and the scorpions are getting me down!!
Please if anyone can help
Thanx

Ladyjane this one is all about timing and it takes awhile to get the hang of it. As soon as you can pick up the bucket on the left and put it over the scorpion by your foot. Immediately grab the other bucket, and take a step towards the door. Grab Parkeys bag. Take the remaining bucket out of your inventory and go behind the checkerboard thing. Look down and place the bucket over the remaining scorpion. Don't forget to grab a wooden board that isn't far away before you leave this area.
Good luck

Hi I must be really too slow in my response time or something I get as far as going to the checkerboard it takes too long to get active arrow and I'm dead end of game Does anyone possibly have a save?Thanking you

I have no saves for this game, sorry.

Sue

Is this a part of the game where you must have light? I honestly don't remember but know there are parts where you die quickly without a light source.

ladyjane,

Check for saved games.

There's a procedure at the bottom of the page.

Hi,I tried the saved games link you gave but its not working I copied it to C;MOTM/data and I see it there but when I go to play game its not there,can anybody help with this,sorry to be dense.
Thanx

LadyJane, according to the download page you are supposed to copy the games to TM0TM:data -- I don't know if that would make any difference, but check to be sure you have it correct.

If the save is in the right place then you may not be looking for it in the right place in your game--when you get to the "load" section in your game, check all of the saves to see if you can find the right one...

Hi that saved game did not work but I got one from Savegameserver that did help so now I am proceeeding in the wine cellar what particular type of **** is this wall ?I ckd wt but everytime I click a stone Sherlock says IS this an exit,which makes me think I'm doing somthing wrong Did anyone else have a problem with this? help please

LadyJane, it's hard to tell exactly what your problem is, but I wonder if you have enough light--without that you can't go forward. You should have gotten the material for two torches, and if one has gone out then you need to light the other one. (Actually it's been literally years since I played this game, but it seems to me that I remember you have to light the second torch from the first one, before it goes out. But don't take that as absolute truth, my memory is inclined to be somewhat unreliable these days. )

If you have the torch lit, then you need to give us more information about what you've done--maybe one of the wine bottles is in the wrong place...

Ladyjane if you are in the wine cellar, look around on the floor for a paint brush I think. Use the paint brush on the center stone of what should be the doorway. You should see a 3 on it. Start from the bottom right hand side and then click on every 3rd stone.

Lady Jane, did you copy the tga file as well? Also notice what slot is being used for the saved game. Hope this helps. Katie
