Spooky ancient map

Took me quite a few runs around it to get it to work...

When you get it right, it will rumble.

Clearly I'm doing something wrong. I sacrifice the ancient map upon alter, walk the path, hear the tinkling of bells, reach the wishing well, hear the tinkle again. Then I sacrifice the nose/flower pot, ground shakes, I follow the path straight ahead to the calendar and...FAIL. I realize that I must walk counterclockwise around it, but I'm never given the chance. As soon as Guybrush enters the area he automatically walks straight to the calendar - I can't control him.

What am I doing wrong?

He shouldn't automatically walk there, but eitherway, make sure you attempt to move him as soon as he's in view. Might be that it's just going there purely because you're not moving him before and it's a set position.

As far as I remember, the directions don't state to go straight to the calendar from the wishing well - I may be wrong though as my memory isn't that great for details like that.

You have to follow the exact path for it to be correct.

Or in fact, that. Theres three more steps before the calendar.

1. Weathervane at the well
2. Bee noise
3. Weathervane

I'm stuck at these 3 steps. Are you supposed to hear a chime after doing step #1? Are you supposed to do step #1 before or after using the flower?

Basically, whenever I go north to follow the bee, he automatically walks to the calendar and it fails.

Once you've done from the altar --> well, (following the map steps ofc), you put the flowers in and then use the wind thing. It should take you to the path of the right, then you follow the bee sound, which I believe takes you BACK the way you came, and then you use the wind chimes again which will take you to the altar, don't go straight to the altar from the well.

I'm stuck at the same spot. I've read the spoilers, even, to see what I'm doing wrong. I've tried doing what it says, but it fails every time.

Thanks pad, I was able to figure it out.

For those still having problems:
After using the weathervane, you have to walk to the screen in the direction that it points to.

That's what I've done. The weathervane points directly to the right, and I walk in that direction. I don't hear the sound that I'm supposed to hear, based on what has been written above, so when I continue, I just end up getting sent back to the alter.

I think you can only use the weathervane after using the flower. I had to do it a few times to get it right, but if you don't hear the chimes as soon as you enter a screen, you've done something wrong in the order.

Finally! I see what I was doing wrong. I took one step too many on the path, and had to turn him back the other way quickly.

Hint look at map closely at all stages, copy it step for step (BTW the wind symbol just means use the weather vane here to see what direction to go in In fack you can do this just by trail and error)
