How can I get past the anaconda guarding the water?

  • 1 of 18: This puzzle requires you to have explored the whole of the jungle, as you will need a few items that come from its furthest reaches.
  • 2 of 18: First off, make sure you have headed from the main screen both up, towards the water where you will find the anaconda itself, and up-right, to where the large hanging brown tree root is at the top-right of the screen.
  • 3 of 18: If you head to that tree root and climb it, then head up through the large stone statue's arm, then go right, you will find yourself on a path up past the end of his finger.
  • 4 of 18: From here, you can move left or right. Head right first and grab the large piece of wood that's sitting on the ground there.
  • 5 of 18: Then head left. You will end up outside Dr. T's airfield. However, the large electric fence here is guarding your way.
  • 6 of 18: You will also notice a screwdriver on the floor here. You're going to need it -- take it!
  • 7 of 18: Bear that in mind for later -- for now, let's go take care of that snake.
  • 8 of 18: If you head out along the little ledge past the mouth of the large statue (down half of the steps), you will find a large nut on the ground. Take it, and store it in your inventory. You'll need it soon enough.
  • 9 of 18: You will also notice that from where the nut was lying on the edge, you can see down into the anaconda's den below.
  • 10 of 18: Perhaps there is something we could throw down from this higher vantage point that could trap the beast?
  • 11 of 18: If you explore the area around the stone head using the large piece of wood you found earlier, you will be able to get further.
  • 12 of 18: See the small hole just to the right of the stone head's mouth?
  • 13 of 18: You can place the large piece of wood inside the hole and use it as a step to get up to the higher level beyond.
  • 14 of 18: And, beyond that level, you can find the monkey's hut. Outside this hut is the item you need to trap the snake.
  • 15 of 18: See the grating hanging off the veranda? It's only secured by one screw.
  • 16 of 18: Use the screwdriver to remove it, and pick it up.
  • 17 of 18: You can then take it with you and throw it down on the snake from the higher vantage point where you found the large nut.
  • 18 of 18: He will be trapped, and you will be able to move past him if you return to the lower screen and walk along the log.
