I thought I was confussed before now I am more so after readding some of the posting. I am in the cage. Sorry can't remember the name of the age. The age with the beach. I got the second symbol, but really can't figure out what to do know. I got the cage to go below water level and i have been behind the cage in the open area in one of the sections of the arena thing. but I just can't seem to figure out what I am suppose to do. Then I read some were about a scale and weighing myself with or without my slate? what is that all about! Can some help me with out giving to much away I know I am getting close to the end and I don't want to be walked through the end if I can help it.

This is the Laki'ahn age.

Windmill puzzle.
For the cage/pedestal puzzle, it has to be above water and with an opening toward one of the small arena (inside the pyramid) with another exit/opening toward a channel to a much bigger arena.

Bigger arena puzzle.
The main idea here is that you have to find a way to go up to the next level using the tower/elevator. First you need to lower it to your level and then to find a way to make it go up and to have enough time to get off this tower. This puzzle is of the counter-weight/balance type.

You will also find a similar puzzle in one on the inside tunnel.

Hoping that this explanation will help you.

Small spoiler.

If you want to see an image of the pyramid as seen from above of the windmill...click here

And if you need two more pictures, one for the windmill controls (spoiler) and one for an above view of the big arena puzzle, check the post above the pyramid picture. You will have to use the links to be able to see them.

OK, this is were the problem is. I can get into one of the smaller area in the arena (one of the section of the caged pyramid). I do this buy pull the larger lever in the windmill then I think it is the left lever then the left button (not sure If i am remembering that right) actully I think that way worked once and the next time I had to use the middle lever and the right button so I don't know if it changes as you mess with it. But regaurdless I already got into the smaller caged area and the is nothing there that I can figure out. it is just water and a cage. There is little pyramid shape thinks on parts of the cage but as far as i can tell they do nothing. Are we taking in the same area? am i in the right one. If you were to walk into were the open gate and walk towards the pedistal it would be the section that is more towards the left side.Is it possible to get the other side. thank you

The problem I am having with helping you is not giving too big spoilers as you requested in one of you above post.

Settings from the windmill controls.

1- The windmill has to be activated first, with a special Bahro symbol, and then with one of the lever at the control panel.

2- The small central cage with the pedestal has to moved (up or down depending on you experiments) to ground level (re: another lever).

3- The cage has to be rotated in the right direction (4 possibilities) to get an opening to a proper small arena inside the pyramid (some people had problems seeing the opening behind the pedestal)(re: another lever)

4- An exit door at the end of the "proper" small arena inside the pyramid has to be opened (re red button) for you to be able to get to the next section (re: the big central arena).

Note: what we call the smaller arenas inside the pyramid are in fact cages for Laki'ahn creatures waiting their turn to be brought inside the big arena to meet their masters, and mayby their death, for the enjoyment of the spectators. (we are not much better people with our bullfighting arenas)

Do you remember Rome, the gladiators and the lions ???

If you need me to be much more specific with my spoilers, go to my above post link and print yourself a copy of the big pyramid and contols pictures to see what I would be talking about.

The best way to get ready would be to make a save game just before the windmill puzzle.

Thank you I got the windmill I just didn't see the other tunnle. Now all I have to do is figure out why the pedistal won't stay up thank for your help

How where you able to determine that ?

What is it ever up ?

I can't get off it before it goes all the way back down. I have lost count on how many times I have linked back and forth!! My son and husband watched a whole movie and I am still stuck

You'll have to determine exactly how far to raise the pedestal. You'll need to know how much you and the slate weigh...

@Iammee,

Are you talking about the pyramid/cage pedestal or the pedestal in the big arena ?

And if you want a bigger hint do ask. Would not want to spoil it for you.

Very small hint if you are talking about the scale one. Stand on the scale and check "the images of the reading/results," (try with/without the slate to detect differences as a hint on how the scale works) and do not forget to make a save before the scale puzzle.

Ok, I with the slate I weigh 7. I get the pedistal to go above the area were I am to step off. So it gives me plenty of time to turn around and walk up there but I can't step off!!!!

Ok, to make it short, you are still missing the weight of the column. I will tell you it is 9 red crystals (or 9 rings). If ever you need more infos about the "9" crystals (or 9 rings). We are supposed to find this out by experimenting.

So you, the slate plus the column= 16 red crystals (16 rings).

Keep the slate with (and make sure you have the proper symbol on the pedestal on top of column)

First send the column all the way up, by closing all the apertures and then pressing the big central button.

On the left of big central button, open the two apertures (4 rings) and the other two apertures (3 rings)= total 8+6=14

Go to the right of the big button last station on the right and open the two apertures.= total 1+1=2

So now we have a grand total of 14+2=16 rings

Now, you + the slate, go to the pedestal inside the cage in the pyramid and link to the main Bubble and then link back on top of column with the slate and wait for it to lower to the proper level re: small bridge toward the back wall

Ok I had done all that already and I still can't get off. Now I have a bigger problem and I posted on the Technical problem board but nobody has answered. My pedistal is gone, and I am stuck in it's place. I can walk around in that area but I can't get off the spot were the pedistal was and I can see water below me. Any suggestion on that?

In the mean time while waiting for an answer from an expert on the tech forum, have a look here, specially the first two sections...click here

If we consider that these forums have been mainly deserted, you should not expect anwers within a few hours. Be patient.

Well, these Forums may have been "mainly deserted", but there are still a few of us faithful around!

See my reply in disappearing pedistal!.

Thank Goodness for the faithful I will check out both your response and the link. And let you know how it goes. I am truely greatful for all your help Nanoukmetal and you too Heimdall. Please don't leave me alone in here LOL
