crank it!

Ok, here I sit thinking that I have to be the dumbest person alive. It is 9:58 pm. I have been working on this puzzle since 3 something this afternoon. I made a grid, poled everything in the grid. NOTHING! I have poked everything that I can find, NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am past frustrated here. I can not find anything that looks like any of the symbols. Even so, if it looked like it had something to do with the symbols, I poked. nothing!! Someone posted something about triangles. Looked for anything that even looked like a triangle. Poked all over, NOTHING!!! Someone said poke and click doing a process of elimination. Did that. NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING. Will one of you please let me know what I am doing wrong or did I waste my money on a game that has a glitch?? I am now past frustrated and getting really mad. Please someone help.

Okay, it really looks like bfgAegean isn't helping very much. You click on the door animals, nothing happens. You click on the animal symbols in the Map scenes and nothing changes.

By the way, when I go back to the Map, I can only enter 4 scenes. In these scenes I have located the dragonfly, the snake, the fish and frog. What about the butterfly and the bird? Where are they?

What do you do with the handle below the beetle on the door.

Come on bfgAefean, we REALLY need help here.

Please don't just give us little riddles to try and solve, this door is hard enough.

Pllleeeeaaasee??? With sugar on top???

Thank you

What he means is, look at the actual placement of each triangle on the door. The symbol above each animal in the various maps is going to be a triangle - you just have to figure out which triangle. Took me forever to figure this one out!

This one took a while for me to figure out. Like everyone, I clicked on almost everything on that darn door. Then went back to previous map locations to change symbols on the animals, still nothing, over and over. Decided to work with one animal form, say the butterfly. Change the symbol until you see results on the door.
Good Luck.

I can't find the fish...can any one help please?

I just solved it after 2 days. Ok, when you find the animals: dragonfly, bird, frog, snake, butterfly, and fish; change the symbols to triangles, then go to puzzle and think pie slices; the right triangles will turn the slices to goldenrod color. Go back and forth until you have the correct triangles that changes the pie to one color. Next, get the keys and wham--you get the gear puzzle. Place gears and hints will tell which gear is in the right place and off you go to the next level. I hope I help ya'll frustration. It's fun, huh?

I can't activate the fish. I found all of the gears, got all the other animals activated. Gave up on the fish for a while and stopped playing. When I started again, one gear was missing and no way to get it back so now I am missing a gear and still can't activate the fish. Help! I hate to start this level over again.

Now this is getting very strange. I went back and started the level over. I found that I already had all the animals but the fish activated and all the gears were back in place. Also, I didn't have to play the whole level but I did have to find just a few items and had to get two gears even though all the gears were in place!? The door opened and I found the correct fish (not the one I had been trying to activate). I completed the level. Hope that's the hardest one, it was terrible for me.

I can't even figure out how to get to "Gear #4" at the top right of the screen. I have another gear and a plumb bob in inventory, and neither of them seem to work on the gear. What do I do with them, or have a missed a step in a previous level?

Hey G, did you figure out the gears? Some of the gears are in the next map. It will go into the inventory which you will need to go back and use at a previous location.

I am needing some help......!!!!! I have found all the bird, dragonfly, butterfly and snake....but I can't locate the fish. Can someone tell me where to locate him. I have figured out that it must be in room #2...???

Look, I am about to slit my wrists on this level. I found the animals in the rooms. I clicked them and they lit up. I have lit up all the bugs and wedges on the door. Eveything is lit. I tried the spinning handle thing, and nothing. I cant get the door to open. I dont want a hint... I want someone to tell me how to make the damn door open. I am sick of this room.

SPOILER

You will find all animals but the fish before you open the first door. The symbol for each animal is a wedge which equals their position on the animal door. You must collect all the gold gears to open the door to the waterfall, this is NOT the same door as the one with the animal symbols on it. In one scene, you must hang the weight from a hook near the top to get the gear. In the image with the gear at the top right, you must use the key on that gear to get another gear in this same scene. This is not everything, but these are what gave me so much trouble. Once I got the gears going and opened the waterfall, I was able to move on, find the fish and solve the rest of the level.

Very glad for this forum. Got the gears moving, found the fish and completed that scene. Now, how do you get the door to open? All the triangles are lit the same color but I haven't a clue how to get past this level. I would appreciate a SIGNIFICANT hint! Thanks!!
