After you fail, Brink will help. Once inside, pick up the canister. After a huge arguement, Brink will take a bunch of life crystals. For the rest of the game, Brink is a freak, so don't worry about it. Take a few crystals for yourself. You will need them later in the game. Next, go outside. Remember the water? Go there. You will see the alien turtle being eaten by a large eel. Brink will run away when this happens. After the eel is gone, walk over to the loose bones. You need to put this creature's skeleton back together. At first this puzzle seems impossible, but actually it is very simple. Examine the fossil just outside the tunnel that goes to the tram. This fossil is of the same creature. The key to putting together the skeleton is to rotate the bones so they are in the proper position. To rotate the bones press the tab key while holding the piece you wish to rotate. You will know that you put the bones together right when "loose bones" changes to "dead creature". Once you are finished, use the canister on the dead creature and then a life crystal. The eel monster will eat him, and blow up. After the eel is dead, jump into the water. Go into the underground cave. Pick up the orange rod and the second plate. After you have these two items, go back to the nexus.
