Chapter 2.....~ spoilerish~


im stuck in chap 2..im in the sewage area and i have collected the four "keys" of the puzzle-the ring,blood,hand,staff...
i know that i have to place these keys in the proper order in the pipes from 1 to 4 (i know the order to place the items) ..but heres my problem.
i have no idea to actually take the items and place them in the pipe...i keep trying to click on the item and then click on the pipe (in order) but my character keeps getting struck by lightning...Help!!!

When you move your mouse over the pipe the cursor changes, IIRC it's 2 arrows in a circle (but not sure haven't played for some time). If it changes click and you have placed the item.

edit: you don't have to do anything with the item itself. click on the pipes in theorder you think the items have to be placed

<font color="gold">Just a slight nitpick on philip: First click all the pipes one time, so that those rhymes/poems appears. Then click the pipes again in the correct order. ;) </font>

so i dont have to do any thing with the items itself?
one time i tried clicking on the item in my inventory and then clicking on the correct pipe.it worked on all 3 pipes but i got struck by lightning on the 4th pipe.go figure

okay so what i have to do to solve this puzzle is click on all the pipes in order(to see the rhymes) and then click on each of the pipes in order once again?What if i get struck by lightning once i click on the first pipe for the second time?

(i have all the items in my PC's backpack)

Click all of the pipes ONCE. In the correct order.

That simple :D

Quallo tells you the correct order of the items (i.e. which is placed first, which is second, third and last)
The floating texts on the pipes tell you which item in which pipe.
So if you think floating text A requires item X and Quallo said that item X was the first you'd have to click this pipe first. Now proceed clicking the pipe with the floating text for the item Quallo told you was second and so on.

Spoiler, but if you've read this far, then i guess it's spoiled already


Yeah, you get the lilacor, +3 and very useful at that time in the game...But its saying get old and aren't funny the second...third...(etc.) times you hear them. But it's cool

Arghh!

i tried all of the suggestions that i have recieved to no avail!
i tried clicking each of the pipes once(so that the ryhmes show up ) and then clicking each of the pipes again (ALL IN ORDER)-and as soon as i do that my player gets struk by lightning.....what am i doing wrong?
if i just click the pipes in order once as i get in the sewage room all i get is the ryhmes.

and i know im not putting the stuff in the pipes in the wrong order..so please please advise me.
i keep tring to click on the pipes from left to right (1 thru 4) and nothing happens except the PC getting struck by lightning...

Am i supposed to be doing smthg with the items themselves????

The order you click on the pipe to get the rhymes does not matter, but once you've revealed all the rhymes, you need to click on the pipes in the proper order (which is not left to right). The order can be figured out by talking to Quallo to find the order of items from his poem, and then matching which pipe goes with which item from the poems on the pipes. When you put something in the wrong order, you get zapped.

Also, make sure you do have all four items in your inventory [img]smile.gif[/img]

The order is from left to right 3-1-2-4
