Serpentine Gorge Help !!!

[gec]

Hi guys, I've been playing Serpentine Gorge for a while now, with the help of previous threads on the subject.

I made it all the way to the Serpent Room, where I got 2 more stones (one in the pillar room, & one in the water behing the serpent). Then I used 3 of the serpent stones I had to get access to the higher level.

The problem is that as I now go higher in this room, I see that I need 3 more serpent stones to be placed on 3 receptacles. But I only have 2 left !!!!!!!!

Where could I have overlooked that last one?

These are the 5 that I have collected:
1 - From the natives at the bottom (end) of the gorge
2 - From behind the big tall gate (that opened by shooting the 3 balls)
3 - From the block puzzle (at the top of the boulder run)
4 - From the Serpent Room (in the water, behind the serpent)
5 - From the Serpent Room (room with 4 pillars)

The only place I haven't been able to explore is an alcove all the way at the end of the gorge (where I got the first stone). I pulled a lever in the water which raised a block, which allows me to jump to the opening. But the opening is guarded by closed bars. Is that where my missing stone is? And if so, how do I open that gate?

Thanks a million.

The gate at the end of the gorge is your exist from the level.

You need to get the last Serpent stone in the room above the Shiva room. You'll find the entrance underwater in the passage way that you go through when you used the first key in the level. :) Hope that helps! :)

Thanks for the reply Aquarius.

But I've already been to the room above the Shivas' Room; that's where I got one of the keys (I think it was the Bronze key) in one of the corners.

Are you saying that there is a stone up there, near where I found this key?

[gec]

I have searched everywhere. Still can't find the missing stone.

Help me please....

Hi gec!!

The last stone that you are looking for is in the, like you said '3 - From the block puzzle (at the top of the boulder run)'!
When you reach the top of the boulder run go to the left and find a way to get behind this block!
Hope you understood!!!

Hi guys!
There's one that isn't mentioned in your list Gec.
So no. 6 would then be the 4-door puzzle. How to get there? When you stood on the ramp to pull a switch earlier (that released the wraiths), look to your left. There's an almost invisible (well-hidden actually) gap you may jump and grab onto. Crawl in and figure out the puzzle. :)

Thank you Drew.

I had seen that opening before (when I pulled the lever that released the wraiths), but I tried grabbing it from the water & she wouldn't do it.

I will try it now.

Thank you guys.

I made it thru Serpentine Gorge !!! I must say it was a beautifully designed level.

I now have 3 golden-bird statues. The last one is in Obsidian Heights. But I've read so many bad stories ("bad" as in how difficult it is) that I'm afraid to even get started on it.

:eek:
