I got the 2 spiders FINALLY & am nor having much luck with Big Mama. I did get as far as picking up the sword & whacking her but when I went for the skulls & got them in inventory I didn't move fast enough to get off the web & she got me.

Hope you have seen Big Mama .

When it says exit immediately - go to the nearest web edge and see if you can jump off.
Good luck!

I found that if you put the item into inventory and immediately save your game, you'll have it even if Mama throws you off the web.

As I remember, once you pick up the stuff, head straight for the back of the web...

I am almost thru this game - love it!! I got to the bottom of the ocean of Atlantis but can't find the entrance. WT says to look for the entrance between 2 pillars?? I have been all around this place - first go all around to the right & then all around to the left & still nothing. I am clicking when the gold ring changes to the arrow cursor. Could my problem be that when I was in Shambala I picked up more than 16 items?? When I got to the monastery I placed the star in the window & was transported to Atlantis even tho I have more than 16 items. Does this make a difference to the Atlantis part??

If you have been transported to Atlantis, Mome, then you're ok. Check out Bert Jamin's walkthrough -- it has a picture of what you are looking for...

Yes I saw his WT & am trying to find something that looks that his picture but so far no luck!!

Mome,

Jeanne writes entrance directions that might help you.

Mome,
This is the advice I gave to Rice Burner, who was stuck in the same place:

From your flying machine, look down at the stone wall marker. Turn to the left of it and go forward once. Now turn left until you see your flying machine in the distance. Go forward once. Turn until you are left of the wing and go forward once. You should be facing a porous type of wall structure. Turn left until you see some gate pillars above. Go forward once. Turn and position your cursor between the gates and click forward.

Walk twice to the right and turn to see the crystal.

Finally found the entrance then made a wrong turn & ended back in the water!! Then again found the entrance got the crystal, started fighting the octopus & finally got him killed off & FINALLY finished the game. Thanks to all of you for your help. I loved this game & so now I am off to Trading Post to see if I can get the other 2 Atlantis games.
