Take the handcrafted cat comb, then drag the device to the right to close the wound again. Head back to the right and use the comb on the white cat.

Go to the right until you see the large monster. Return slightly to the left and examine the black cat near a box. Piece together the lid of the box (don't worry that the cat interrupts you part way through), then tape it shut. Climb under the box, then go right past the monster.
After you automatically get back out of the box, continue right and examine the music box. After removing the cover, shuffle the pieces around so that each of the 8 areas contains 8 dots. Now you can return left and take the super egg.
Fossil Hall
Go to the right to enter a hallway lined with bones. Continue right past an aquarium that is low in water, until you can examine a large pile of sand on the right.

Controlling the claw, make sure you catch 10 water bears Water Bear Killer, before filling up the meter at the bottom by collecting gold nuggets. Give all of your gold nuggets to the small creature, and he will carve them for you. Now put the four parts on the statue to the right (start with the body, then add the arms and head).
Go through the third door and examine the table. Move the skull candle over the 4 pictures and count the red dots on each of them. Now put the balls in this order from left to right: 2, 1, 4, 3. Talk to the large monster on the left. Click on the rose and then the red ball in the second picture, then give it to the monster.
Go through the fourth door and talk to the creature on the sofa. Look at the shelves, and move the items around so that the layout is symmetric on each shelf.
Go through the fifth door and open the box on the far left. Look up at the bird in the tree. Here you need to get the bird to eat each of the small creatures - they jump forward in line based on the number of antennae on their heads. Solve the puzzle twice, and the bird will lay an egg. Click on the egg to crack it open, then take the baby bird. Go and give this to the creature in the box.
