Hello all....First timer here, so please bear with me if I don't get this correct. But I am in need of some help. I am playing Oddysee and am stuck in the paramonian temple. The first time one encounters multiple doors. I have to light 6 flintlocks in order to move on. I have gone through every door with slight diffuculty but find myself stuck in the chamber directly above the information hand. When you enter you are standing on a ledge. You jump down to the left and run into the next room where there are 2 sligs waiting on you. You run back into the first room, jump on the ledge, then mind control the slig. You go back into the second room, shoot the other slig then destroy the possesed one. Abe's back in himself, he runs through that room and jumps a small chasm at the end of it, over which is hanging a rock bag. When you enter the next room, there is a killer bat and 3 swinging spike balls and some fireflys. When you chant, the fireflys say walk softly. After crossing you enter the last room. There is the flintlock, the message rock for the password for the bells (I presume), and a sleeping dog. You can sneak up to one step from the message rock before the dog wakes and eats you. I have tried numerous options over the last week to get past the dog and activate the flintlock and access the message rock to no avail. I have tried jumping him, having him follow me into the swinging rock room,( he stops right beside me but won't let me go back into the flintlock room) hitting him with rocks (just pisses him off) e.t.c......How, pray tell, does one get past the dog to light the flintlock and access the message rock??
