Does the pedestal have any significance? The hole is for the white(?) gem, which you find with three others in a bag in that room behind the waterfall. Just pull on the rock. It makes a crystal ball which you need to freeze the water in the lake room.

Can't remember if that's the key or not. But probably. In order to use this trap door (which is real, for once) you have to have activated the rope in the room below it. > > That's as far as I can get, and I'm stuck.
