Sam & Max: Season 3 Hints
How do I get up to where the spell board is?
1 of 11: You were almost there when you were a bas relief (after you rescued Jurgen).
2 of 11: All you needed was a path to go from one side of the wall to the other. The Guardians, the guys with the wings who put you up here, are the key to this.
3 of 11: What happens when you put the bust of Sammun Mak in one of the niches in this wall?
4 of 11: The Guardians will always bow down to the bust if it's in one of the niches, and when they do this their wings provide a nice horizontal surface that you can walk on. The problem is --
5 of 11: -- if it's in the middle niche, their wings don't touch, and when it's in one of the side niches, only one of them bows. What a shame you don't have two busts, so you could make both of them bow to the side at the same time.
6 of 11: Or maybe you don't need two. If you could cut this one in half, you'd have a silver half and a gold half, and then you could fill both of the side niches. Have you seen a giant blade anywhere that might be able to do the job?
7 of 11: The huge scimitar in the Doorways of Life and Death might do the job, if only you could be sure which door it was going to drop into. As Benny Moleman says, though, you're just too lucky.
8 of 11: Now that you're unlucky, go back to the D. of L. and D. and put the bust in one of the doorways. It doesn't matter which one; whichever one you choose, you're now unlucky enough that it'll be the one with the knife.
9 of 11: Put the two halves of the bust in the two side niches, then push the trip plate in the central niche to get back up on the wall.
10 of 11: Walk across the wings of the Guardian to reach the spell board. When you get there, if you have what you need to cancel the spell of protection, you'll pop back into three-dimensionality and can do so.
11 of 11: If you get up here and you don't have the means to turn off the spell, you don't have to go through all that rigamarole with the Guardians again. A door opens that leads to the wall where Jurgen was imprisoned, and from now on you can just use it instead.
