I have abandoned game play for about a year now because I am sooooo close to the ending but can't get the damn water to drain to go into that thing (now I can't even remember what it was, I just know I can't do it). I was content to just give up, but now I want to see this sweet ending!
shareAbsolutely no idea what you're talking about. If you are so hell bent on just finishing it then consult a walkthrough.
shareFirst thing to do is stop the water, there are two irrigation switches on the right handed paths after leaving the caverns, manipulate the devices to block all LEFT handed streams.
Once back at the 'bathosphere' there are two handles, one raises and lowers the second opens and closes.
1. Make sure the streams are blocked
2. raise sphere
3. A gate at the foot of the well should be open - enter
4. Go down stepr and turn wheel, well should drain further
5. Go to handles
6. Make sure sphere is shut
7. Lower sphere
8. Open sphere
9. Close sphere
10. Raise sphere while closed and full of water
11. enter tunnel again and proceede to base,
the bottom door should now be open
Now you have to solve the door lock
