You have to take the Cog to the upper floor of the clock tower. You do have the crank, right? Well the crank is located in the room near where Leon first met the Licker (oh boy). With the crank go to the library and climb the stairs to get to the balcony, instead of jumping down the hole to get behind the bookcases go through the door. Go to the other side of the balcony and enter the door, that brings you to the Clock Tower. Take the crank and use it on the hole in the wall and that will reveal the Secret Staircase. Climb the Secret Staircase and you'll notice some big gears. place the Cog in the open spot between the big gears and push the button. A Hidden Door will open and reavel the final plug, take the plug and jump down the dust chute. I hope that helps. ~~ Dave ~~ "I love Resident Evil 2."

IMO, the N64 has suffered from a shortage of good software it's entire lifespan! I doubt there will be a shortage of GCs...the chips and suchs are all being made by outside companies...what screwed Sony was that they are making everything themselves and one of the two plants that was supposed to be making the Emotion Engine couldn't get up and running correctly.

Granted Nintendo's loyal group will pick it up, but casual gamers will more likely go for XB. I'm not concerned about the N64 anymore, since it wasn't a failure (no matter what anyone says). This year will be it's worst software year since 1997, and I don't care. I'll either pick up some old games in between the few new ones or catch up on my Pocket Monsters imports. I wouldn't worry about a shortage of GC's now. Worry about that around launch and something is announced.

Well, are you guys happy that  Nintendo has abandoned the N64 so fast?" I
mean, the Gamecube will be released, and no N64 games for the N64 owners,
and
what if there's a shortage of Gamecubes? No new N64 games, no Gamecubes,
what's gonna happen then huh?
