The Lost Cave

1) I keep pulling switches in the lower level of the cave but nothing's happening!

You need to replace the missing stone in the statue's headdress. The stone can be found in a secret room in the upper level of the caves. If you examine the walls in the caves, you'll find a secret entrance in one of the first rooms. Within the secret room is the missing stone. Put it in the headpiece and then pull the switch under the water glyph (the left switch). Now the switch will work.

2) Where are these switches?

There are two switches in the lower level of the caves, beyond the dark passage. You need the glow rod to proceed into the dark part of the cave. The glow rod can be found if you move Gregor's corpse.

3) How do I get out of the cave?

After you do the above (with the statue and the switch) an exit will open up through the waterfall on the upper level.

The Jungle

1) How do I get past the goon with the rifle?

If you lost your guns in the cave, you won't be able to get past the goon; you'll need to enter the temple by sliding down the dangerous slope in another part of the jungle. If you still have your guns, 'shoot goon'.

2) Okay, I got away from Tapper. Now Jimmy the Neck is in my way, and whatever I do, he kills me. How do I get past him?

Jimmy is unbeatable. You need to get around him. Examine the jungle to the east of him and you'll find a path.

The Temple

1) What's the answer to the damn riddle?

There's a hint in your journal under the entry for the Temple of the Sun. The answer lies in this quote from Markus Demille : "The future is near for some, yet tomorrow may never come."

2) How do I get over that big hole?

You can try jumping it. :) If you examine the walls, you'll notice a big crack. If you examine the crack, you'll see that you might be able to grab it and shimmy along it to the other side.

3) Okay, I've knocked Jade out, but every time I open the altar, I get killed by scorpions!

You'll notice there are some scrapes on the floor in front of the altar as if something has been pulled along the floor...

4) I've been turned into a nympho by the Obelisk, but I can't seem to get out of the Open Chamber.

Try using the statues while having sex with Jade. The final sex command is 'fuck jade and statue' (or numerous variations of that command).

Points

1) I finished the game, but I only got 67% of the points. I'm sure I did everything in the sex scenes. What did I miss?

Chances are you took the quicker route and missed the scene in Strathairn's Camp. If you slide down the dangerous slope, you'll miss the first sex scene. You need to shoot the goon in order to do the first sex scene with Tapper, one of Damian's men.

Conversation

1) What can I ask the characters about?

Their answers may change depending on the circumstances...

DAMIAN : me, himself, cock, sex, tits, ass, pussy, jade's tits, jade's ass, jade's pussy, jade, tapper, gregor, jimmy, obelisk
JADE : me, herself, tits, ass, pussy, my tits, my ass, my pussy, sex, damian, damian's cock, jimmy, jimmy's cock, tapper, tapper's cock, gregor, gregor's cock, obelisk
JIMMY : nil
TAPPER : nil

Red Herrings

1) There seem to be some red herrings.

You're right! Here's a list of the red herrings:

- the shirt button
- the chunk of quartz
- the Aztec coin

None of these really matter anyway since you lose all your items no matter what route you take to the Temple of the Sun.

The hollowed-out-rock-altar in the Lost Cave is also a red herring.

Walkthrough

1) Is there a walkthrough for The Sun Obelisk?

John Clark has created an excellent walkthrough.
