Spider Mansion - Normal Mode

[dlcatftwin]

Hi Gang,
i could use some assistance here.
Of all the levels, I missed this one (Spider mansion in Normal or hard mode).
Simply, is there a lantern somewhere that I missed in the first six wings (the 6 red doors)?

I am now in the last areas (beyond the yellow doors), there are more dark rooms here, and Jack's getting slaughtered! Some light would help!

If I did miss a lantern, please shed some light on where it is (oops, sorry for thr pun!).
Many thanks,
DLC

Hi!

Yes there is a lantern in one of the left-hand sections at the beginning. I won't tell you which one, but it's to the left.

Good luck.

I have found the lantern, but I can't get it! As I walk in I can hear that I am stepping on a lever and then the trapdoors shut and I will fall into the lava if I cross, but I have no idea how to follow the gold coins up to the lantern.

Yes, this stumped me in the beginning of my MM days. Actually, you are stepping on a platform, not a lever. But there are lever around that you can pull. You don't see them but they are clearly hinted!

Hi Everyone! I'm glad I came across this posting because I'm stuck in Spider Palace Normal. I've got to room 16703, got the green key, then followed up to the blue area through the electricity, but get stumped about how to get back to the green door. I can't seem to get across the two rolling platforms towards the purple key. Have I missed something really basic, or am I just thick? So far I've worked my way through all the mansions on Easy and Normal, and this is my last one. I've got stuck a few times, but eventually worked my way through it. This one is driving me crazy! Any hints? I'd be very grateful.... Maude ( ripping her hair out in London!) PS: What's this with the 7 and 9 keys? I don't get it....

The 7 and 9 keys on the number keypad allow you to jump further than using the arrow and space bar. And this will come in handy for the area you're needing to cross. I lost a few Jack's when going through that room. Timing of your jumps is important to make the jumps. And using the 7 and 9 keys will help you do it.

Great! Thanks Catwoman! I have set up my 7 and 9 keys to work in the options menu. So I AM on the right track... I thought for a while there I was losing it! really appreciate your advice. Will have a go this evening and report back! Maude
