When I first played as a kid, I didn’t think to go for the lantern while Sternhart and Sophia were talking, and wondered why I didn’t think of it when I found out from either the hintbook or someone else who had. I also didn’t think to use the whip on the third bust.
I remembered almost every puzzle, but had forgotten precisely how to position the gears in that one statue. I’ve actually discovered things I never knew about before despite playing through this multiple times since the ’90’s like how the porcelain mug and clay jar can be dissolved in the lava, and the diagram that can be viewed on the cabinet after it’s closed (Martijn figured out the logic without ever finding it in his stream).
