3 questions :)

I didnt manage to open the crystal mines, nor the pyramid, but i've done everything else, except for the "follow the leader room"
so,

1. "follow the leader room" with the blades and buttons : how do you get the gem?
2. C. mines : how to enter them?
3. pyramid : what object is needed?

As a final question, i'd like some general area difficulty, because i did ruins --> archives --> bog --> catacombs --> sewer --> hamlet --> ?
obviously, i'd have better saved archives for the last, and i dunno for mines and pyramid.

So far, i did three temples (earth, fire, air)

1. First you have to find the leader, then you need to find out why you have to follow him. (You may need to mouselook for this one.)

2. The clue says "Follow the path of the snail". How do snails go about doing things?

3. You need an item that mentions, in its description, a recognizable feature of the pyramid and its immediate surroundings.

1. if i mouselook, i see four buttons. but clicking them achieves nothing?
i found a secret with a wizard hat, thou.

2. i cooked the snails and ate them with my frog legs (i'm french)
seriously, no idea :) slow? you wait after each plate? you wait in the poison?

3. i have only a map which COULD have a pyramid drawing on it.
barring that, nothing, and i did all the bog area...

I suggest the pyramid first. The reason isn't too spoilerish, but just in case:
SpoilerShow
The monsters in the mines are far tougher than the ones in the pyramid. It almost seems like you're supposed to go to the pyramid very early, but at least for me I got the lightning bolt scroll very late, so I couldn't solve the pyramid puzzle until very late in the game.

I don't know if it's the same each time, but I had to make a lightning bolt to solve the puzzle that gave me the serpent staff needed to enter the pyramid. I didn't find the lightning bolt scroll until much later in the game, so the pyramid was one of the last places I visited, and the monsters there died very fast and couldn't really injure me.
