Thanks Robbo

Thanks Vic

Gamil, have fun

i finally got rid of the dragon and am on to the last part of the game. At least I believe so. Anyway, I need to move some boxes around in two different rooms and apparently climb up and over a wall. I have been messing with this for a couple of days. I just don't think I am getting where to put the boxes. Any help would be appreciated.

I have made it through the railcar ride. Back in tunnels again. Found saturn piece, herb for Hyde formula, torch and pages from book. I have mixed Hyde formula correctly. There are moving sharp blades that are impossible to get through, even as Hyde with new formula. I have checked out another passage that was too dark to enter until I got a torch. With torch entered but smells like gas is there. As Jekyll I can't go on, as Hyde I still can't get through this area...need some help on how to approach this new area of exporation. Where do I go or what do I do here? Also found strange keyhole with key in it by moving spear blads. As Jekyll he says it can't be moved and key is stuck. So I tried as Hyde but still can't move it or use the key stuck in it. Help please. Thank you.

Linda, these are my notes taken from when J has done the wagon ride and has entered the big cave.
Just see if you've done all these things. Must warn you, the 'gas' area is difficult, unless theres a trick to it that I don't know about!
OK, here goes.
Back of area, control panel, flick switch. go left thro lit entrance, see fast blades. There's a page on the floor, better read it. Go back over to the living area. Get phial, recipe, and use lab to create new potion (increases life force/endurance).
Get Saturn model, look at it = two Saturn rings.
Read papers on desk, get page, get torch off pillar at right and light it.
Get casket.
Exit to the main cave and tunnel bottom left, into 'gas' tunnel. Be Hyde. You should have, under item 2, a heart symbol for the new stuff.
Press '2' (then again as often as you can), jump down left, across the chasm at about where the big leaves are, up, right a bit and up-screen, see a ledge. You have to climb up there to reach a 'safe' tunnel. Good Luck! Took me all day but I'm not very good at that stuff!
(I haven't 'retested' the next bit as I can't be bothered going through all that again)
See a skeleton, get recipe, go right as far as you can, get mushrooms.
Use lab, portions are 3, 1, 10 and 8 to make new potion, for power, vitality and sharpened senses.
Go back to the tunnel, back across chasm to the 'fast spikes' trap. (If anyone knows another way to get back here, please tell us). Use the potion to slow them down and get past. Theres a SAVE here.

PS - I can't work out where this key is that you mention, maybe come to me later.

The 2 rooms with the boxes.
There could be better ways, but this is how I did it.
The aim is to reach a gantry area/ladder above the left part of the left-hand room (call it room 2, the one up the stairs).
Be Hyde, start in room 1, note the single box in the far corner near the gate. Drag the 2 stacked boxes towards the entrance, about half between this box and the 3 stacked boxes in the other corner. Go into room 2 and do the same with the 2 stacked boxes there.
Back to room 1, jump up on the single box, turn, leap across to the 2-box stack and across to the 3-stack. Now you have to jump onto the ledge between the rooms, you need quite a longish jump as he tends to overshoot. (Maybe be Jekyll for a shorter jump, I never thougt of that). Then jump onto the stacks in room 2, up to the gantry and ladder. It SAVES here.

Wow, I have my work cut out for me on this level. Thanks for all the notes.

Yes, the jumps are really tricky, but maybe you'll do better. See how you get on.

I made it through that area. Wow! Now I am past the blades and have explored a lot of area. Found a few items ie. clay...saw Mesussa, read greek writing in wall area, explored as far as I could go both as Jekyll and Hyde. Discovered levers to lower and raise the hammer on the large blacksmith statue...I just don't know what to do next...still can't turn or get key where the blades were. I need some hints as to what tasks I need to move ahead. Thank you.

Thanks so much Vic!

Oh well done!
Next bit.
Enter the top room, place the Saturn rings in the alcoves at back, get Golden Dagger.
Exit, go across to the other hall, go left to 'Hephaestus' hall.
See the furnace and chute for molten metal.
Switch the furnace on, go to the box on the right, get CLAY.
Use clay on barrel = wet clay.
Up stairs, to the left, be Hyde, jump across gap then round behind statue, jump onto chair arm then chair back. Press '1' (or whatever it is to get strength), knock the statues's head off.
Down to floor, drag head into other room, position it under where the hammer will fall. Use switch to release hammer, the head breaks, revealing an object, get it.
As Hyde, reset the hammer (need it to climb over).
Up stairs and this time to the right.
Jump across to corridor, place object on alcove near door = door opens, enter and SAVE.
The next part is to get hold of Athena's shield.
See the puzzles on the walls. Do the left one, start at top, go clockwise, just turn every blob, go to the right one and start to do the same. Remember to examine objects.

Linda,
forget the key you can not get it and you do not need it. Apparentrly it is just there to bug you.

I hate it when they do that. I get so fixed on getting that one thing.

Are you on the move yet Linda?

Heading there now. Thank you once again. I also was "stuck" on getting that key. Just assumed I had to have it~ I have managed to get the shield..examined it in inventory and got 1 snake...(presume this is for Medussa statue). However I can't find the other snake. I have gone back to the room where I got the shield and have played around with the puzzles there but I am not accomplishing anything. Am I on the right track????

Combine casket + clay + serpent = mould to make another. Put under furnace chute, put dagger in furnace = new hot serpent.
Get it, use on barrel = cool serpent.
Now you have 2 serpents for Medusa's head!

I am near the end where there are moving posts above the lava. I got to one platform and then to another platform but no where to go from there. Back on the rotating posts but no idea where I am supposed to go from there. Any suggestion would help. I've been here two days now.

Smokey, is this where theres a rotating set of ledges, and you have to jump in the opposite direction? You have to jump round the back of the machine then onto a gantry. I managed to reach the gantry once but fell off later on, can't be bothered doing all that again!
I managed to fiddle with one of the games 'ini' files and jump to the next section. This is all jumping on and off lava blocks and I can reach the limit but can't see where to get off.
End of game for me, unless anyone reading this manages it and can send a saved game.

Robbo,
I managed to get past the rotating ledges and am where you are jumping on rocks over lava. I too am about to quit.

Yeh, its a shame, another unfinished game. Why do they have to make them so difficult.

You can play the finales (there are 2) if you download a BINK player program, heres one:
http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
Click on "The RAD video tools".
The Bink files are in
C:\Program Files\Jekyll&Hyde\Data\Binks
(or wherever you might have put the game files)
Plus have a look at any other stuff you find.
Unfortunately, the speech is in German!
But you can hear some English speech for the last level here:
...\Jekyll&Hyde\Data\Sounds\Voice\EN\Level6
(Winamp plays 'ogg' files)
Not as satisfying as finishing the game, but better than nothing.

So how does this program work? Do you need to utilize it by pressing ie. a number key or does it just make the moves easier to finish this game?
Thanks...know I will also need something to get past then when I get there.

Linda, the above was only for towards the very end of the game, jumps across lava blocks, very difficult. I had another go tonight, well about 100 goes actually, but still can't get across.
You still have quite a lot to get through before you reach that stage, and hopefully someone might have a game save by then.

Thanks, will remember this link though.

edit: I made the 2nd snake for the Medussa statue...now in another room with green substance all around. Some large statue arms (I think that is what they are) holding swords...When I access the tome across the way a big evil machine comes up. I have tried using the Medussa shield as Hyde to ward off this machine but I still keep getting killed. I tried using the hand icon on all of the swords but nothing helps me. Can someone give me some hints please on how to proceed. Thank you.

I made it accross all of the lavajumps. there are three saves of lava jumps. All very difficult. I believe I am on the last save. So far this seems impossible. Iam getting no where. I will let you know if I manage to finish

Thanks Robbo for the info.

Linda, sometimes just taking a break will help.

Smokey, for making over those jumps.

The problem I'm having is after the third maze. At the end of the 3rd maze. I enter a room with a podium. When I put the sacred book on the podium, a concrete door rises. When I enter, I get caught between two gates and an enormous mechanical"grasshopper" is trying to kill me. When I crawl, he misses me. But how do I get out of here? Sometimes a hand symbol appears, but goes away quickly, and nothing seems to happen when I can catch it and click on it. This may be the same problem Linda is having. Thanks for any help.

Linda...
Be Hyde, use all '1' to '4' selections, this means you have the shield. Go towards the beast, close enough to kick it, let it fire at you, and the shield reflects the charge back at the beast. It takes the hit, being so close to it, the hand icon should appear. Use Enter and he kicks it across the pond. It should end up next to a 'sword machine'. Dash round there and activate the sword. Remember to grab the shield again. Wait for the thing to revive again and repeat the process until it has been hit by the other 3 swords. This should kill it. Sometimes the thing gets the upper hand and starts turning the sword machines round so you can't use them. There are handles near each machine which you can use to reset them, but I found it was so much hassle, it was easier to exit to the menu and 'Continue', this lets you start from the beginning.
