Get 2 rings. "The spirit is proud of you" then get the ring from the scorpion. Here, instead of heading to turtle island, the gate has reappeared on the way to the lake. On top of the gate is a spinning "thing". The saucer is flying around overhead, placing yourself on top of the gate next to the spinning thing lets you hitch a ride up to the volcano etc. What I don't understand is what I can do next. Pressing anything seems to get the game upset and send me to the firey origin. Thoughts?

Seems as if letting yourself get caught by he saucer is one of the things you are supoosed to avoid and get punished for by losing a ring and returning to the burning cactus. Andreas Back to top

When you have taken the third ring by the scorpion, there are no "barriers" as such.  If you go beyond the limits the game wants you to go then you lose a ring and go back to the burning cactus. The exception to this is if you hitch a lift with the flying saucer. Then you can fly to the volcano and back. If you hit anything or try and let go *outside the boundary* then you lose your ring. You can however go fly with the saucer and then let go back in the main arena and you don't lose anything.
