When i step on that switch nothing happens !!!....

1. What switch?

2. Where?

3. Who?

4. What?

5. I (and others) can help too.

Are you sure? Because the door is supposed to open when you step on the switch. Are you stepping on the switch that is farther into the room, because the first switch only activates the rising sand. The second one opens the door.

.........are you talking about golden sun?

Yes, he is. for some reason he makes a new topic for each post of his. But he is trying to get through the ankhol ruins,a nd he's stuck on one of the rooms with the rising sand. It rises steadily after you step on a switch, and there is another switch on the other side of the room he must step on to open the door.

well ok thanx man!! it was just my stuppidity ! now iv gotten through that room ^^ thanx ! do you know the statue in akohl ruins that ur supose to put 2 pieces of a face 2 gether ?? iv only managed to put the left piece inn right place.. but now i cant findt my way to he other piece... with other words... im lost.....

Ankohl Ruins

The tower of Ankohl is a very confusing level. Although it isn't long, it's
very easy to get lost, so follow me closely. Because a tree blocks the main
door of the courtyard, go in through a hole in the wall. In the actual tower,
don't bother with either of the side, leaf-covered doors. The treasure chests
inside them are empty (maybe Briggs plundered them for treasure). Whirlwind the
middle of 3 leaf covering on the top of the room and pass through. In this
room, you'll find 7 large statues of faces. You'll notice the middle of the
center statue is gone. For this room, I'll call the statues 1 through 7 from
left to right. Anyway, use Move to pull out the middles of 1, 2, 6, and 7. Grab
the 210 coins from 2 and the Crystal Powder from 7, then enter 6. At the end of
the hall, you'll see a pillar blocking you from using Sand from another part of
the room to reach a chest. Move the pillar right into the pit, go back to the
statue room, and enter 1. After passing through the antechamber, use Sand to
reach the chest containing a Nut. Go back to the statue room and go through the
door under 1. Go straight down to a corner and turn left. Hop over the pits and
go left this way until you reach some stairs. From the stairs, go around the
path to some sand. Use Sand to follow it to a small room containing the
Thanatos Mace. Even thought it may be weaker than any of your weapons, you can
still sell it if you want.

Go back to the corner of the sand, surface, and go up to the next room. Keep
heading up to a statue with one of the pieces of its head sitting on a nearby
ledge. Push the piece into the statue to make it open its mouth and spit sand
out. Return to the room below and before the one with the Thanatos Mace and go
to the part of it near the door to the statue room. Go left and blow away the
left of two leaf patches to find more stairs. Go up from the top of the stairs
and climb down the vines. Walk across the sandpit you created and take the
Power Bread from the chest. Use Sand to get under the low arch and climb the
vine and stairs on the other side. Go down and into the right doorway from the
stairs. Go up to a T-fork and go left. Like before, Move the pillar into the
indentation, then return to the previous room. From the stairs you reached this
floor on and go left. Go up at the fork and through the door. Use Sand to reach
a Vial and return to the other room. Go straight down from the door and follow
the path to 365 coins. Return to the T-fork near where you Moved the pillar and
take the right path this time. Enter the door here to the sand room. In this
sand room, you are forced to step on a switch that causes a nearby statue to
periodically fill the room with more sand. You must stop on the similar switch
near the statue once the sand rises enough, but before it covers the switch to
stop the sand and unlock the door. If you are too late, exit and reenter, then
try again.

After the sand room, go down the hallway to a room with a chute. Slide down it
and you'll land right next to another statue piece. Push the pillar nearby into
the pit to open a shortcut, then push the piece into the statue. You still need
one more piece, though. Go through the door behind where you landed. Don't
climb the stairs; go right and once again free a sandy shortcut by Moving a
pillar. Now use Retreat and return to the statue room. Go through the door
under 7 and make your way to the stairs (ignore the leaves). After jumping a
pit, use Whirlwind on the left of 3 leaf coverings and enter the room behind it
to find the Muni Robe. Return to the hall and enter the next room. Climb down
the vines and go up. You'll see a sandbar and incomplete statue, but ignore
them for now. Just hop the gap, climb the vine, and then go up the stairs. Go
up the hallway and use Sand to use the passage you opened earlier. Go right
after surfacing and Whirlwind the first leaves you find. Enter the door and get
the Sylph Feather. Return to the hall and keep going right and down. The next
room is another sand room, slightly harder this time. Go through it as fast as
you can and you should be able to make it to the next room. After hopping some
pits in this hall, Whirlwind the first leaves you find and go through. Push the
pillar and get the Potion down the vine.

Return to the hallway and go left to the next door. Hop your way down the next
hallway and enter the door. Go up and push the statue piece into the statue.
Make your way back through the last several rooms until you climb down some
stairs to the room with the sandbar and statue you just completed. Ready
yourself: as soon as you jump over to the path the statue lies on, it chases
you! To avoid getting run over, run away from it to the sandbar and use Sand to
have it pass right over you. Once it has passed, surface and go up to where the
statue was. Use Sand on the thin sand vein and climb the vines on the other
side of it. Go left and climb 2 more stairs. Go through another hall and Move
another pillar for another shortcut. Don't feel bored; you're almost done with
the level (hopefully you aren't lost). Now head down. You'll see a statue piece
seemingly trapped in a block corral. Use Reveal to find that the center block
is actually a pit, then Move the piece into it. Climb down the stairs above you
and push the piece into the statue. It will create a sand waterfall. Go back to
the room before the statue piece corral room and use Sand to reach another
staircase through the shortcut you opened. You'll recognize this room; go left
and down to the sand waterfall room. Climb down to the sandpit at the foot of
the waterfall and burrow it. You can actually climb up the waterfall with Sand!
Once at the top, get off on the left and climb more stairs. Go through one more
hall to another sand waterfall room. Climb this one with Sand and then climb
the vine at the top left. You're on top of the ruins! Climb a few more vines
and take your prize: the Left Prong. Now Retreat and return to Champa.

Here are a walkthrought from bdgamer. (it's a site's name.)

Ankohl Ruins
`-`-`-`-`

Simply head to the beach northeast of the beach you just landed on. The
trip should literally take you two seconds. Hop out of your ship and head
into Ankohl Ruins which is against the mountains.

Ankohl is characterized by its broken yellowish stones when you first enter
its surrounding area. Head north through the crack in the gate and go into
the main tower.

When you enter the tower, hop to the platform to the left. Make your way
north to find a ledge with three bushes on it. Use Sheba's Whirlwind on the
middle bush to enter a room with many gray statues in it. In this room,
head all of the way to the right and hop on to the platform. Use Move
on the statue above you to drop it into the abyss. Hop north, go through
the door and then grab the Crystal Powder from the treasure chest.

Head out of the room and then hop on the the platform one square to the
left of the one you were just on. Once agin, Move the nose off of the
statue and head through the door. Use Whirlwind on the bush above you in
the next room and then head through the hallway. When you reach a wooden
pillar and some sand make your way north of the wooden pillar and then
Move it one square to the right. Head back through the hallway and make
your way back to the main room with the statues again. Head left and then
use Move on the statue is the second closest to the left wall. Grab the
210 coins from the treasure chest in that room. Head back out and use
Move on the western-most statue. Head north through the door and then
use Sand on the patch of sand in the next room. Head north and then
un-burrow to reach a treasure chest that contains a Nut. Once you've
obtained it, use Sand to head back south and then head back to the main
room. Go through the door to the south.

Head south and then west in the next room. Head past the bushes and go
up the stairs when you reach them. Head counter-clockwise in the next
room and step on the sand in the left part of the room. Use Sand to
follow the sand under the small opening. Continue digging under the sand-
path as it turns to the right. You will eventually reach a treasure chest
with a Thanatos Mace in it. Head back to the left and un-burrow yourself.
Head through the door to the north.

Head north in the next room until you reach a part of a gray head that you
should push east. Once you've done that, the gray statue will start
spitting out sand. Head back south through the door and then use Sand
to burrow back south in the next room. Head down the stairs that you reach
by going clockwise along the path.

Head east and then north in the next room but don't go out the door. Instead,
head west on to the center ledge and use Whirlwind on the bush to reveal a
staircase. Go up it and head north in the next room.

Climb down the vines in the next room and go left across the sand. Grab
the Power Bread from the treasure chest there. Then, use Sand to burrow
north to reach the sand spitting statue that you made complete earlier.
Un-burrow and then climb the vine to the right. Head through the door in
the northeast corner of the room.

Head south in the next room until you reach a door that you should go
through. Head north, hopping back and forth between the ledges on the left
and right in the next room. When you reach the top of the room, head left
to come to a dead end with a wooden pillar and a treasure chest behind some
blocks. Use Move on the pillar to move it to the left and reveal the sand
underneath it. Head back east and go south down the narrow hallway. Head
through the door when you get to it.

Go north in the next room, then head west and the fork and then north. You
will now be in the room with the sand and the treasure chest. Use Sand to
burrow under the sand and un-burrow on the other side of the blocks. Grab
the Vial from the treasure chest and then head all of the way back through
the next two rooms and up the narrow hallway. This time, head right and go
through the door.

In this room, you will see a stone statue with its mouth open. Head down
the stairs. This will trigger the statue to start "spitting" sand. Head
to the gray switch to the right of the statue and step on it when the sand
is equal level with it. This will cause the pillar blocking the door to
your right to come down. Go through the door to reach the next room.

Head west in the next room and then hop south. Go through the door to reach
a room with a crevice in it. Slide down this crevice to drop to a room with
a pushable statue piece. Push this piece into its position and then go
through the door to your left.

You will now be in a room with two bushes in it. Head all of the way to the
east and Move the wooden pillar there into the small groove. Head out of the
room and climb down the vine. Go through the door on the ledge that you
should now be on.

Head clockwise around the room until you come to a staircase that you should
go down. Burrow under the pillars by using Sand in the next room and exit the
room. You will now be in the room you were in earlier that has many stone
statues in it. Head to the right in this room and go through the door there.

Go around the room clockwise ignoring the various bushes. When you reach
an area that you can burrow under, do so and burrow north. Head through the
door to the right. Go north and use Whirlwind on the left bush to reveal a
door to a room with a Muni Robe in a treasure chest. Head right and go through
the door.

Climb down the vine in the next room and head north. You will see an
incomplete statue there. Don't worry about that quite yet. Hop to the ledge
to the left and climb the vine. Go up the staircase to your left.

Head north in the next room to come to some sand. You will probably remember
moving the pillar here earlier. So, burrow to the other side and then head
to the right. Use Whirlwind on the first bush you come to reveal a
staircase that leads to a ledge with a treasure chest on it. Grab the forge-
able Sylph Feather from the treasure chest and then head out of the room and
continue heading right. Go south along the narrow hallway and through the door
when you reach it.

You'll now be in another room with a stone statue spitting sand at a constant
rate. Once again, step onto the gray switch to the left of the stone statue
to un-block the exit. Head through the door to reach the next room.

In the next room, go south. Use Whirlwind on the first bush you come across
to reveal a door to a room with another treasure chest in it. Push the
pillar and climb down the vine to get the Potion from the treasure chest.
Exit the room and continue heading left. Go down the stairs to reach the
next room.

Head through the sole path in the next room and go through the door when
you get to it. Head north in the next room until you come to another piece
of the statue. Push it into its proper place to make the statue's eyes
turn green. Head back south and go through the door. Go back through this
room and the next. Keep going back through the room with the sand spitting
statue and until you reach the sand in the next room. Use Sand to go back
underneath the blocks. Head south and go up the stairs.

Climb down the vine in the next room and go in front of the green-eyed
statue. Suddenly, the statue will push you south along the hallway. As
soon as you are pushed on to the sand, use Sand to burrow underneath the
statue. Once it has passed you, un burrow and go north. When you come to a
patch of sand, burrow north. Climb up the vines in this area and go up the
stairs.

Head up the stairs in the next room. Go south and then west in the next
room and head through the door to the south. You will now be in a room with
a piece of a statue surrounded by blocks. Use Reveal and then push the
statue on to the hole in the center to make it fall to the floor below. Once
you have done this, head down the stairs to the north.

Push the statue piece you just pushed down into its place. This will cause
the statue's mouth to open and he will start spitting sand. Go back up the
stairs and back through the next room.

Push the wooden pillar to the left in the next room and burrow underneath
the pillars. Head down the stairs and go left in the next room. Go out the
door to the south.

Climb down the vine southwest of you (Move the pillar out of the way if you
have not already done so). Climb down the next vine as well. Head to the
center of the room is where there is a sand waterfall. Burrow and then
climb up the sand waterfall. Once you've climbed a level, go to the right
where one of the blocks is missing. Head right and climb down, right and
then back up the vine. Go up the stairs when you reach them.

Head south and then west in the next room. Exit through the door to the
south. You will now be in a room with a large sand waterfall. Use Sand
to once again climb the sand waterfall. When you reach the top, un-burrow and
climb up the vine to the left.

You will now be on top of the tower. Head counter-clockwise and climb up
one of the vines in the middle. Grab the Left Prong of the Trident on top
of the block in the center. You can now use Retreat to exit the Ankohl Ruins.
