at the part where I need to get the blue light , how do i get the leather cover off ?

MaG's walkthrough just says to remove the leather cover. There's no further elaboration on this, so I have no idea how to advise you as I haven't played the game.

Maybe try looking at more than one walkthrough if you haven't already, or maybe someone here who has played the game can help you out.

I haven't played the game but on the website of Louis there is a walkthrough for Broken Sword 5: The Serpent Curse.
As always with lots of screenshots. There is a English and a Dutch version.

You find it at: www.pcgameswalkthroughs.nl.

I hope you got past this part already, but, if not, you have to right click on the statue and also right click on the lens. after that, you should get a magnifying glass and then you can take the leather off.

Thank you very much for your help, mbday630!

And checking out the walkthrough that Lion linked to is a good idea as well.

thanks guys I got it.

Good to know.

at the part where I have to translate the inscription on the tabula, what is the 1st thing I got to do???I have the ancient symble puzzle up. do I start with Glyph 1 and if so what do I do ? this is crazy.....

The walkthrough here explains this part of the game - have you looked at it?

thanks yes that is the one that I have , what is the first thing I need to do ? I have the puzzle up what do i move first ?

Sometimes looking at more than one walkthrough is helpful - try reading what this one has to say.

ok but it is not very good , I need to know what to click on first. and so on. to get through this puzzle....

Try looking at this and see if it helps.

thanks . I just took my time and went very slowly with the walkthrough, and fingered it out it took some time but I did it , now at the outside of eden. with Nico & george. cool huh....

That sounds very good.

off and running like a wild dog ....

well with some patience and go slow I just finished it . on to the next one...

Good for you. I hope you enjoyed the game.

thanks , it's a great game ,it took me a long time to get to the end , but no timed parts. just trying to think of the next game to play , any thoughts ???

It's hard to make a recommendation when I don't know what you have. Otherwise, I would look at GOG and Steam and see what adventure games they have on offer - they have both older and newer adventure games. I haven't had time to play any of the newer adventure games.

thanks, I have alot at GOG , most older games. when I had my older computer win 7 now I have a new one win 10 yeah yikes.
