Rama Hints

How do I open the gates in the octospider lair?

  • 1 of 7: The same way you opened the locks in their museum.
  • 2 of 7: You need a jewel of the correct color.
  • 3 of 7: The yellow-red jewel will open the gate just to the right of the ramp (as you're facing it) was in the museum above ground.
  • 4 of 7: There are another two locked gates just beyond the yellow-red door that require violet-blue and green-red jewels.  You will find those jewels in the room with the dancing octospiders.
  • 5 of 7: It is in their cabinet.
  • 6 of 7: You can gain access to the cabinet by pressing the third white pedal from the left on their keyboard in front of the fountains.
  • 7 of 7: And use an indigo-yellow jewel to open the cabinet.  It can be found in the octospider city.
