If you scared him the first time, he should not come back anymore.
Have you used the snake skin?

Yes, used snake skin on Leonard, before offering him the turquoise liquid )where w/t had the paragraph "Get lizard and/or stolen good.")
Using the green paint can on Slugger does not scare him away so I can talk to Amber, please, please help me to get rid of Slugger!

I sent you a set of saves. I think one of them is when Leonard and Amber is done.

Thanks so much MaG, but as I reread your w/t (genius that you are!), I realized it was not Leonard that I gave the snake skin to, but Slugger before, so I gave it to him & was able to talk to Amber & am progressing thru the game!
Reason why I did not respond right away yesterday was that (I'm away) I am using my laptop & could not find a wireless network to connect to, luckily as present, I found one!

Hope you're having fun in your trip.

Slugger is the one with Amber. Leonard is the painter.

Oh MaG, I get so frustrated & having to bother you all the time. You guessed it, stuck again.
Met the ovids, placed all numbers in pipes, got the green ovid, put it on Jeb & suppose to put it back on the wall. Trouble is, I don't know where I put it on the wall because now I'm suppose to be able to go thru gate, can't. Tried & even went up stairs to click on the entry way where the mirrored L is & it tell me "return recored print to it's place."
Don't know how to retrieve Jeb's green ovid again,if I have to to put it back on the wall (where I don't know where it goes!)
Please help!
Also, I constantly hear an on/off siren that I can't get rid of, please, make it stop!!!!

El,

The siren (I think) is caused by taking out the gold ovoid. Place it back on the slot at bottom left.

As for Jep's ovoid = you use the blank ovoid that is in inventory (you should have picked it up earlier) on Jep.
Then place it on a blank slot on the wall just above the machine - bottom row. Then it will open the gate.

Color me dumb, bu I do not know what the "gold ovoid" is! Please explain.
As to the green ovoid that I had in inventory,
as I explained yesterday, I do not know what I did with it, how to locate it, & to place it as you said "on a blank slot on the wall above machine-bottom row. (Do you mean the blue cone machine that I moved the pegs around so I could get the language to have the formed sentence "he who has intelligence, etc."?)
I am so confused!

Edit **********

Just looked at w/t & all the ovoids are green with pink centers and are all pulsating. Your w/t says that the "2 at the bottom do not have pink centers" - I do not see this, they all have pink centers............
Just saw where w/t says about the blaring (metallic ovoid on left). For the life of me, I do not see a metallic ovoid??
Please be patient with all me questions........

Hi El,

The gold ovoid is at bottom far left of the wall of small ovoids.

The ovoids without the pink centres are on the bottom row, directly above the strange machine with the pipes.

HERE 's a YouTube excerpt which might help you better. The part with the ovoids starts at around 6 minutes in.

Thank you so & also for the YouTube, but I hoped to get to you before you had to research & solve my delima. Problem was, I did not see the gold ovoid because it was in inventory, hiding behind the green one, got that darn blaring to stop & got to the opened gate, I'm so happy.
Thanks again, as always.

Glad you got through.

So am I, but alas, another small problem.
Went down hatch in Nemo's office, I "removed blockage of water line" & now every time I try to resurface anywhere underwater, I come up on the lake where the jaguar is pacing. I cannot use Shortcut to get back always as it is not in use.
Please tell me where to go underwater so I can resurface up hatch to be back in Nemo's office.
I will be truly be beholding to ya!

Remember that you went down from the office through a hatch on the floor.
Then you were in a tube, did a puzzle to open the door to go out underwater.
You did not go down through the lake.

So after you did the removal of the blockage of the water line - look (not up) on same level-point of view.
You can view the structure ahead better if you are standing by the grate where you remove the blockage.
Look ahead and see a structure - swim there and open the door.

Oh yes, recall seeing that structure lit up in green, but did not reaize it was Nemo's!
A thousand "thank yous" as usual MaG.......

You're welcome.
