Hello, I am in DDD hard and can't seem to figure out how to move on. I have been through room 15304 and into room 15303, there are ladders I can't get to but I presume I come at them from the left and above, however, the only way left it seems is through room 15302 and I can't see how to turn the zapper off. I have tried turning on and off brown and blue switches in room 15303 and I have also tried to see if there was a way into room 15302 from further to the left but can't see any way in. I am sure it is something very obvious, but not to me. Any clues, hints, ideas, welcome.
Thanks!!!
Have you been to 15503? That's the room directly below 15303. That'll give you different ways to climb back up and access more levers.
No I haven't, I couldn't figure out how to get there. I thought you got in there through the ladder on the left but it seems like you have to get to that ladder from above room 15303. I will go back and have a look, if only I could kill that bird but I thought the spiders did that.
Wrong room. Yes I have been to 15503 and moved all switches there, I have tried turning them on and off and combining but the zapper in room 15302 doesn't change. I have managed to turn all zappers off in room 15503 but that makes no difference to 15302. I suppose the question is are the switches in 15503 connected to the zapper in 15302 or should I be looking for another way to get to 15302 (from the left and not from room 15303). I have to admit my gaming skills are not fantastic so found the hard in MM1 too hard but MM2 has just the right combination of gaming and logic skills, and I am really enjoying it, so now feel very frustrated.
Don't feel bad, and try not to get too frustrated... this is a hard mansion with lots of puzzles. Levers only control things in the same room, not other rooms.

Oh, and I just took a look at 15302. The zapper along the floor doesn't shut off. Jack has to use good timing and jumping skills. Good luck!

You presume correctly. The trick is in getting past 15302, and unfortunately, there is no trick to it. The *only* way past the zappers in this room is through timing. Jack should be able to make it across with three well timed jumps. I seem to recall I had originally set this room so that Jack would disable the zappers after his first successful pass through them. I left them in to force the player to make a decision once across. With a little care, and maybe practice the zappers aren't too bad. The timing of the zappers is constant. Take heart, a save point is fairly close once you get past the zappers.
