Getting away from the sharkees with the trident

[troles]

I know I have to use the trident on the invisible wall to keep the sharkees from getting me.  When I try to do this I get a message that it's too late the sharkees are already at the opening or something like that.  Now how do I get away so I can get back to Neptune?

You have to do it straight away, thinking about it isn't an option. If it's the case that you're doing it straight away yet it's too late, perhaps your computer is super fast? Try running it in 640x480 (or whatever it is) in the Setup and play that part. It's just a guess and I'm not sure whether it'll help you or not but having it at that resolution slows the game abit. If you do it just for that scene then you can just save it and change back I guess.

Thanks for the tip but it didn't work.

Regardless of whether or not you do the escape minigame from the Sharkee's lair, the second you are out and the messege comes up that you can use the trident, do so.  You can't have any hesitation at all, not even for a split second.
