I know absolutely nothing about this game, unfortunately.

Why don't you try watching this level three video walkthrough on YouTube and see if it helps.

Did you look at the written walkthrough here on GB? Maybe you can see something there that you missed.

It is way too long since I played this game. Even looking at the walkthrough, I can't really remember it.

You can try looking at a couple of other walkthroughs to see if that helps:

Walkthrough One

Walkthrough Two

I don't remember much of anything about this game, but looking at the walkthrough, it looks like you might be on a long timer as well as shorter ones -- and the long timer may have run out.

You might want to try to replay from the beginning of the timed sequences (possibly from the beginning of Level 3) and get through everything as quickly as possible.

cool , how long does this timed part last ??

Re: mystery of the mummy - 07/21/17 03:34 AM

I don't know. Possibly as long as the chapter.
Assume the worst and you won't be disappointed.

I played the game when it came out (in 2002).
So that's 15 years ago.
I don't remember much about it and am mainly going by what the walkthrough states and your description of the problem.

I do remember I had trouble with the timed puzzles, and had to experiment with what worked even when using the walkthrough.

I am "guessing" about there being some longer timed puzzle running out, but the problem could also be a matter of stepping in the wrong place. I am 100% sure this game got you if you stepped in the wrong place because it got me numerous times and is one of the few things I do remember clearly about the game. But I don't remember exactly where or when.
Or it could be a matter of not doing something before entering the room that would have make you safe.

There is another walkthrough at gamefaqs if you want a second description of what to do.

Also UHS Hints has hints for the game.

I can check if I still have saves for this game, but I played it in Windows 98 and I don't know if they'd even work in Windows 7.

I found my saves.
Remember these are from Windows 98.
Here is the description:

thanks so much.got a saved @ slider puzzle just before going in to the lab.now if i go in to the lab will the "enigma" timer still be running ?

Posted By: Jenny100

Re: mystery of the mummy - 07/21/17 09:53 PM

I don't know. I used my own saves except for a conceptis puzzle save that I used because I didn't know how to do that type of puzzle at the time I played Mystery of the Mummy.

The only people who could tell you about the particular save you used is the person who created that save -- or someone who's used it before.

Sorry, but I could have been a lot more helpful back in 2002 after I'd recently played it. About all I can do now is offer a save from my list.

Re: mystery of the mummy - 07/21/17 10:16 PM

thanks , no the save is the one that i saved .so do you know when the "ENIGMA" timer ends ? is it before the storage room ? i hope.

Re: mystery of the mummy - 07/21/17 10:41 PM

I took a look at a few walkthroughs and it's unclear to me when the enigma timer ends.

Re: mystery of the mummy - 07/22/17 12:59 AM

looks like i need a saved game just past the storage room

Hello deleterman,

I think it will help if you have a look
at the walktrough on the "just adventure" site.
If will give some information on the enigma timer.
(At least I hope it will)

I myself am playing "The Testament of
Sherlock Holmes" these last days.
