'Cause due to poles complete backtracking (to where those yellow keys are) isn't possible anyway..... so my feeling is you must have missed an entire section earliuer in the game !! (Is that possible ?) So probably you haven't much choice anyway, than to go and restart from, say save pedestal 2 and see what you might have missed. Sorry !!
It seems like the path split on me at least once. I don't know the room number now, but at one point Jack can jump off a falling platform to get to a blue door on his left (there's a sign in that section saying that that's a secret section.) or go to the right and go through a green door. I did the blue door first, and then I don't think I was ever able to get back to the section behind the green door.
It's a problem if you expect Jack to pick up keys early in a mansion in order to unlock a door much later. It's easy to miss an obvious key, especially with a mansion as complicated as this one. I've found several shortcuts that may or may not have been intended - a chance jump onto a pole or vine that maybe was supposed to be out of reach - and although I might have been able to work my way back immediately, I usually prefer to explore forward first and try to figure out what my goals are before I go back and look for keys. That means if I reach a one-way pole that leads me out of an area, I feel like I've finished that area, and I can take that pole without fear that I've left anything but secret treasure behind.
I may be telling you something you already know, of course. My, I do go on.
Oh, and why are people talking about Aguilera and Fall Out Boy? Whyyyyyy?
