> > I've checked all recent postings regarding this darned giraffe, and I have tried all of "mandichaos'" hints (for which I'm grateful) and nothing is working. I have left the giraffe, gone away numerous times and come back. I have entered the cavern from the mountains and found a way to get in by the northeast. No matter what I do, I simply can't get the giraffe to buzz off, nor do I find anything in the cavern. I just keep bonking into walls.

Mandi...you're a darling with all the help you offer. I have tried what you said and, in fact, did get to douse that bothersome giraffe with maple sap...but he didn't go away and I wasn't sure what to do after that. I'm still working on my problem...and it is MY problem because I'm pretty useless at making maps. I couldn't figure out the little xox puzzle in GOA!!! Someone else had to do it for me!

Thanks so very much for all your help and I have seen your recent post regarding "Pitch Black Cavern...Spoilers Kinda." I will endeavour to keep at it until the point of exhaustion!

Grateful for your clues!

Mirage
