Hi, I started playing Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis (GOG version) a couple of years ago and got badly stuck in the Crete labyrinth. I am wondering if anyone can help?

I am fairly sure (but not 100%) that I chose the 'wits' path. I checked an online walkthrough and this paragraph caught my eye:

-------------------------------

Down there, you'll find a skeleton. That's Dr. Sternhart, the man you met in
Tikal, the one who stole the Worldstone from you. Take back the Worldstone, the
last stone disk and pick up his staff too. Pick up the wool scarf too. You'll
find a rubber comb inside. Read the note next to Sternhart's skeleton about
static electricity being able to detect orichalcum. Now, look at the waterfall
on the right side of the cave. Indy will discover a chain. Climb up the chain.

--------------------------------

I only have two of the stone disks (sunstone and moonstone) and I am very sure there was no third disk with Sternhart. I have searched around his location numerous times. Is there anywhere else the worldstone could be? Could I have picked it up earlier and left it somewhere else? Is it a bug? Am I possibly somehow in a 'dead man walking' state?

Would be very grateful for any advice on how to resolve it and progress, thanks!

Not to worry; based on your inventory I can tell you're not on the Wits path. I'm guessing you're actually on the Fists path right now. In that case, you'll find the world stone at a later time. For now, try and figure out a way forward elsewhere in the labyrinth. Based on the path you're currently on, a little brute strength might assist you!

Ah ha! Thanks very much for your reply. It seems I did indeed choose the 'fists' path. I have no idea why. Usually I would go for a more nuanced/mental option rather than brute force, but it was a couple of years ago that I made that decision, so must have forgotten.

** SPOILERS **

I had a look at the walkthrough for the fists path and realized I was supposed to use the fish at that point and I have just located Sophia (along with the worldstone). I think what threw me with that puzzle was the fact that the fish only seems to work when you are in exactly the right room (and there are a LOT of rooms in that labyrinth!). Also, the fact that when you look at the rubble under the elevator, it seems to suggest that one of the discs got crushed (which I assumed was the worldstone). Imo, it would have been a bit less obscure if the fish pointed the way towards the right room, even if Indy is a few rooms away.

Anyhow, looks like I'm past that blocking point at long last. Thanks again for your help! :-)
