What you do is take the ladder over to the stool in the garden where
you found the ladder. Place it on the stool and climb up to the top
of the wall. Turn right and walk along 1 move. Turn left and you
should be under the window you jumped out of. Place ladder on the
ledge and climb back in to get into the secret passage again.

In the secret passage you find a thing like a piece of pipe with a
hook on one end ... like a walking cane.

Beyond that i'm stuffed! If i go back through the door into the
"planets" room i get captured. I can't find anything else to do or
where else to go.

If you get any further, lemme know will ya.

You're not far! Stay where you found the cane. Turn right, on the over
side of the corridor, you'll find a hole
on the wall. Use your cane to grap a small sculpture.
The sculpture fits into a hole on the wall at the end of the corridor.
It
opens a secret door...Good luck.

When you have taken the crowbar, turn back and face the door through wich
you came in. Turn about 45 degrees to the left and look a little up. Then
use the crowbar on the wall. You will get a kind of statuette or maybe even
a snail (I don't exactly know what it is).
After that go to the back wall with the cat on it. Use the statuette on the
'button' to the left of the cat's nose. A door to the right will open.

After playing with the ratcatcher, I come into a room with a whale and a
mermaid. I have to find the 'pearl of the north'. This time, I am stuck. So
if you get that far and know the solution, let me know.

Good luck

In article <01bc848e$7eab28a0$aaf04fc1@eugene>, emg....@net.HCC.nl says...

On one of the wall you will find a scupture with planets and a star ("the
north star"), push the star, you'll ear a noise, then go at the dolphin +
mermaid sculpture and climb to take the fork with 3 teeth. Then move a little
bit toward the door, look at the ceiling there is a passage put the fork in
the opening of the passage, then ...

Good luck,

Yep ... got there (eventually). You need to go to one end of the room
and press the "star" then come back to the girl on the dolphin and
take the fork thingo off her. Stick it up into the hole in the
ceiling and away ya go again.

Cool game eh!

Is this game worth buying, as Cryo are a bit hit and miss?

If it wasn't for the autosave, and the allmost no reaction time arcade
style sequences, it could really be a good game, I'm enjoying it as it
is, but I'm starting to think I goofed up on this one...

Well, after I re-read my previous message I decided it wouldn't be of
mutch help to u, so here goes:

Graphics: Quite Good, they could be better if they used the available
3D acceleration card, but they're still quite good indeed...

Sound: Also good, it blends quite well in the atmosphere improving the
gameplay experience.

StoryLine: Although Atlantis isn't properly a original site to stage a
game, this is really a mistery novel, u're task is to find out who
kidnapped the queen and if possible find and restore her to her
throne, so far I'm enjoying it.

GamePlay: Well... this is the Achilles heel of this game, interaction
with characters and environment is quite limited, all u have to do is
pick everything, talk to everyone about everything available, when u
pick something u're bound to use it, just figure out when, puzzles so
far are not particularly hard, world exploration is incredbly limited,
there's a path laid out for u and u must follow it, no going left or
right, if u're suposed to go ahead then ahead u must go, the penalty
is death, too many high speed decisions to make, without enough time
to make them, the penalty is also death when u make the wrong one, as
u can see u die pretty easily in this game, however u can't save, the
game as a autosave feature that does this for u, this I particularly
dislike, u see if die u'll have to do it all over again, including
speech sessions and all, bad choice on this one cryo...

Conclusion: All in all the game is quite good, so if u don't mind the
autosave, and the no time action sequences, go for it, if u can
however see if the store where u do has a refund policy in case u
decide buying this one was a mistake...

Good gamming...
