I cannot pick up the CHEST from the dead giant

Thanks for all the information folks, you're all great and really helpful. Trying not to look at the walkthrough unless I'm real stuck.<br><br>However, I'm stuck at what I guess is a simple bit...I killed the giant with my sling shot. I have looked and it says there is a chest beside him. Problem is I cannot pick it up. I have moved the hand all over but just get the messages like......He's dead forget him and get on with your quest, but I NEED that chest. is there a certain place to pick up the chest ??<br><br>I killed him and he lies to the far right of the screen ( I cannot walk round him or see the chest although I know it's there).<br><br>Maybe I've killed him in the wrong part of the screen, also tried hiding from him but always get killed lolololol.<br><br>Any tips ? (sorry to keep bothering you <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> ) <p></p><i></i>

Ah, anyone remember the good old days when you didn't finish an adventure game in one day?<br><br>And bonniescot, try to stay within one thread. EZboard does have markers for new postings, so people will see that you've responded again for more help, instead of a new thread for each question.<br><br>A tip - I believe you get more points if you don't kill the giant. Try to find another way to solve this puzzle. <p></p><i></i>

Less violent approaches give more points. If you do kill him, maybe just getting him closer to the center of the screen will let you get the chest. <p></p><i></i>

It's in the cursors. You should see a red dot signalfying the point that you click in the "hotspot" Basically, click the red dot on the chest, not the hand over the chest. <p></p><i></i>
