Help! I am at Part 4 "feeding the beast." After jumping into the storage room and getting the gas can, the walkthrough says, "leave the storage area." Easier said than done. I have spent a lot of time trying to arrange the pallets in order to get back up to the vent and just can't do it. Any help would be appreciated. I hope I don't need a saved game, but it's not looking good! Thanks.

Laurette, I'm not sure what problem you're stuck at. You're able to operate the levers to move the boxes? Seems to me if I remember correctly one box had to practically be in a corner. What walkthrough are you using?

nickie: I was in the room "after" I climbed the boxes (went through the vents) and got the gas can (room with steam). I did manage to arrange the pallets to climb back up on the shelves. Thank you, though.

Are we allowed to vent on this forum? I am at the part with the huge worms. Good grief!

I got away from the worm, but now I have to pull a lever and "rush" through all those tunnels to get to the door before it closes! Argg!

nickie: (or anybody!): I am at Chapter 3: Heavy Industries, Part 1: Davey Jones' Locker Room. The walkthrough I am following says "go forward and stick to the left, eventually you will enter a room with some lockers." I can't make it - there are too many spiders. Could someone please send me a saved game? Thank you!

Laurette, I don't have any saved games, sorry. I'm thinking this might be a different walkthrough though - is that any help at all?

Lourette Just use the three barrels and place them on the steam grids and jump on them and just place the one in back of you in front of you and keep doing it until you reach the other side, without loosing your life. Richard

Thank you, Richard. However, I don't know what three barrels you are referring to. I am in the vent grid steamroom. I tried to get a barrel down there, but it wouldn't fit. This game is like banging your head against the wall - it feels so good to stop! But - you keep coming back.

Lourette There is three barrels by the fan back of the the way you came down. They will fit real easy. Go back up the conveyor belt and up the ladder keep going and see the barrels. Richard

Richard: I tried both conveyor belts to try to get the barrels down to the steam vents. They just won't fit. Maybe I'm "intellectually challenged," but I can't do it. I don't like to give up, but I really need a saved game. Thanks.

The one big conveyor belt you walked down to the steam grid. I had a save just looking at the steam grid and went to get the barrels and put them on the conveyor belt. They rode the belt all the way down. I have a save after the steam grid but I don't have my bolt cutters so It wouldn't do you any good. I found the bolt cutters and I'm in shaft 12 right after the steam grids, I did a quick save and have a save if you want it. Richard

Hey Maverick, I'm glad it worked out for you! Thanks you guys for helping out Laurette - most of my strategy was just to RUN and jump - worked for most things, heh.

kjos: I think I may have tried using the wrong conveyor belts. I will try again later and see if I can do it. If I need your saved game, I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your help.

kjog: You'll probably find this amusing. I did all three barrels at one time and couldn't get them off the belt! I finally did one at a time and got them down there. My next job is to use them on the steam vents. Thanks again.

Lourette Put two of them upright and don't stand on the steam vents. The third one lay down next to the two. Jump on the one that is laying down so you can get on the upright ones. You can do it it's real easy. I did it two times so I know it can be done Richard
