hello, all you game boomers out there. i beleive there is someone out there who can help me. I am playing Journey to the center of the earth and I am trying to get the clean lens but somehow there is trouble. I have the living shell and the Mastadons hair and I put the empty shell into the water. I am supposed to put the living shell in next and then the hair but when I try to put in the shell, I can't. She won't release it no matter where I click on the pool. Help please. I need the clean lens to continue. I ahve already been to the floating island and talked with Adam.

Be sure that you talked completely with the healer and to Bares Mohul.
Some gamers had problem here.

Best to replay this part. Give time for something to happen in between the addition of sheel and then mollusk. The mollusk should swim first - I think you can even see it.

The aim is to get the living shell without the mollusk inside it.
So you place the living shell in there.
Then place the empty shell. (try other way around also)
You want to get the mollusk to go from one shell to the other one.
To do this you add the mastodon hair that irritates the living mollusk - so you're giving it a new home.
Then you have a the living shell which has a lens inside.
