I’m playing Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the Game Cube, and so far it’s been pretty easy and straightforward. However, I’m stumped on the Incendio Challenge. I’ve gone in and gotten the spell, but I can’t get out. I see that the trick is to get the two fires switched so I can push the little wall emblems and I’ve done that (switched the fires to reveal the emblems), but I can’t figure out how to get up to where the emblems are. I can’t jump to it, my broom doesn’t work inside, and I can’t climb. So how do I get up there once I deal with the flames?
(Note that I’m not talking about the room with the first set of wall emblems–the ones you use to switch the fires from one side of the room to the other. I’m talking about the ones on the ledge where the exit is, inside the large room.)
Thanks in advance for any help. I realize there’s probably a ridiculously easy solution to this that I’m managing to miss, but I’d like to finish the game one of these days so I can move on to another game.
I remember this one. You have to send Incendio into the gargoyle’s mouths on the foot of the pedestals, which does something (totally forgot what) to allow you to cross.
Where the heck is the Incendio challenge? I’m throat-deep in the Chamber itself and was assuming that after a few zillion failed attempts at Basilisk-zapping I’d win out and then the game would be over (give or take voluntary returns to challenges I’ve already done).
As long as the general subject has arisen:
[semi-detour]
When you’re deep in the Chamber of Secrets, you come to a drop-off that drops down to a ramp with 4 beans. When you hop down, a huge boulder starts rolling down on you and the only thing to do is run for it. Immediately after you hop down, a cut-scene takes over that includes Harry seeing the boulder and saying “Oh, NO!”. Then it returns control to you to try to avoid the boulder behind you. In front of you are a bunch of pillars (mostly against the left and right edges) with gaps between them (bottomless pits – you die if you fall).
I can’t get anywhere with this scene. I make the first couple hops and cast Diffindo on the branches, but I can’t get Harry to veer left or right and so on the next jump I always fall into the pit.
Anyone got any tips for how to avoid being boulder-crushed or else falling into the pits? Is it just me or is it awfully hard to steer left & right in this scene?
It probably belongs there, but if I move a Harry Potter game thread to Cafe Society, Ukulele Ike will shoot me dead, take my girlfriend and not even buy me any more beers.
I think it’s mostly answered now, no? So it can be allowed to die naturally after the immediate prior post is answered? Right? Please?
