Sneak out the same way you came in and back to the main entrance to the valley(that's the place you first ran into the giraffe). Once you reach that area.... you can sneak up behind him. There is something in the text (can't remember what something to the effect PAUSE) You will then be instructed to pour sap on his nose.... Then you will be instructed too shove the coin up his nose... Here is the trick..."Look Down"!!!!

Once the giraffe is chasing me, there is no option except to stand around till he starts to splay his legs, then there's no option except to go East which takes me back to the green platform. I'm terrible at directions I know, and yet, there doesn't seem to be a way to get the giraffe to follow me. I always get eaten. I feel very thick not being able to figure this out.

Think of it as two stacks of blocks three high. There are only two openings. The cavern has six rooms and two exits (the exits are in the center). You have two ways to get into the valley. HINT>>> If you bump into a wall and nothing changes you are in the same room. If you don't bump into a wall and nothing changes you are in another room. Once you find the other entrance or exit (whatever you want to call it) taunt the giraffe. He will stick his head into the cavern. NOW.. head out the way you came in and go back down to the valley where you first ran into him. He will be too busy looking in the entrance to see you come up behind him. Now do what I told you in the last hint. I'll be back to see how you made out. Have Fun!!!

> > > > Oh, Salana. I am just too pathetic. I have found the other entrance or exit. Problem is, once I'm in the cavern, I can only get out one way and the giraffe still does the same as before. I am seriously missing something vital here (perhaps a brain!), but I cannot go forward. How do I send you my email in case I need a spoiler. It appears I may need my hand held through this one. Your help is very much appreciated.

> Salana, I've sent you an email, but since then I've been able to observe the curious giraffe from behind and THEN...nothing. The options are "Stand around for a moment", "Taunt the giraffe" and three directions. Nothing gave me new options and I ended up back where I started. I must be thick as a brick or am still doing something not quite right. Guess I need a stronger hint, maybe via email as I don't want to spoil anything for anyone playing. Thanks!

Mirage..Glad to hear you finally got that giraffe!!! If you get stuck again and want a spoiler just e-mail me again. Have fun.
