thanks dave, very helpful of you. In the sequel mission, I completed it and all, but wondered about 2 pieces <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">over a room filled with lava in the destroyed city there was a passage with a skeleton and what LOOKED like a closed secret door at the end, is there a way to open it? the other thing was in the last region how do you open the door to the mining bldg (if possible) and how do you get into that area with the spiders visible off the closed mine shaft? I tried dragging some explosives over and using them both on the door and the spider area but that didn't do it. Oh, lastly was there any use for the golden skull? </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

I think I might have found something that is supposed to work, but doesn't.

no, that's a red herring, try looking very very closely in the <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">basement of the temple bldg with the pool </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE> if that's not the one you're missing give me some idea of the ones you have
oh, and to belboz- while I do love these two missions I noticed that in the first of them a number of the brass plaques were blank.
oh, and will you release a version with errand boy tacked on?

vesuvius,
Thanks for the reply, but I have found that one. I need the one that starts with the letter 'Q'.
What an awesome level(s). I love it. I keep finding new stuff.
:)

Never mind. I persevered, and found it at last. I don't know how I actually missed it. *shrugs*
Cool puzzle though.

vesuvius - <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">To open the secret door that you were asking about (in the snake temple area, with the skelton lying nearby). If you stay on the ledge, go around to just beside the door and stand there. There is a pressure plate which opens the door and then you can drop down and run in.
I never found out what to do with the golden skull, either.
As for the spider area, I suspect you just found a different way to get to the last part. I came through an area with a spider, ended up in an attic above the offices close to the dead end where you can see through. You can probably get back into it through the attic. :) </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
Zaphod - <BLOCKQUOTE><FONT size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><DIV STYLE="background-color:#000080"><FONT color="#000080">The door that you asked about in your post earlier can only be opened on Normal. It just leads to the room down in the tunnels with the fallen beam. I never figured out the skull, either, and you CAN get back to the plinth if you want to see the pretty lights, but you don't need. You can jump back across the same way you got over to that section. </FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

I saw that wooden cover, but never entered that way. I tell you what, you go try my way, and I'll go try your way. <IMG SRC="thumb.gif" border="0">

your way was longer but had more loot.
I thought it was cool how the objective hinted at the alternatives

Yes, I did that with the robot, too. Good mission! :)
