I found this game in a bargain bin. It's pretty old, but maybe somebody remembers it.
I've got as far as the tomb and the disappearing statue but I can't get Low on to the crypt. According to the walkthrough it should be easy but he just keeps walking round it. I've clicked every possible pixel, but he won't co-operate. Can anyone help?

Hi Gran After you have clicked on the Statue, click the Crypt Twice then go to the left. That should get you to the next bit. The secret is to click Twice. "Walter"
If at first you dont suceed, deny you even tried.

Thanks Walt, but I'm just not having any success with this. After the statue disappears, he says something about this being an elaborate set up for a burial crypt and that there's something about this old relic that seems important. I loaded a save and went through that part again. I tried the double click but he just keeps on saying the same thing over and over. I've gone through each of the spires again in case I missed something, but if I have I can't find it. I won't give up, though.

Hi, Gran, I played The Dig last summer. First of all, do you have the golden rod with the shapes? When the shutter opened, you should have used the rod to fix the plate. If I remember correctly, you may have to remove the rod to go down.

LadyKestrel. I loaded a save and tried this and the golden rod with the shapes won't work. There's another rod I picked up from somewhere that keeps the shutter open. Once it's used, I can't pick it up again after the statue falls to bits.

Gran, I thought maybe not having the gold rod in your inventory would keep you from descending because you'll need it shortly. Once the statue disintegrates, I just remember clicking on the triangular platform and descending. I'm sorry I can't help you more than that.

I'm assuming that the gold rod you're talking about is the one the ghost dropped. I haven't come across another one and I can examine all the other coloured rods but, so far, not that one.
