'm having trouble knocking off the Sophia/Marduk Incarnation. Unloading with heavy firepower didn't seem to phaze it and since I can't find a way out of here so I'm guessing you have to spank it with the electric whip but I can't aim and whip fast enough plus i'm the one getting spanked here!
 Any advice?
 Also I have the green and blue gem and thought I got the red gem but it's no longre in inventory, must be getting woozy from all this flying around.
  
 
  
  
    Oh, please Tekkifriend, have an earlier save,
 just a little before. I had the red gem 
 glitch too, and had to go back way earlier
 and re-do. After you get the amulet, my
 suggestion is to only quicksave and do NOT
 reload until you have all the gem-doors open.
 Only after that can you whip the big baddie.
 
 But if your red gem is gone (and I had the 
 opposite problem, after opening that door
 and the next, I had reloaded, and then the
 red gem was BACK in my inventory but the
 monster had disappeared! No monster, no
 ending.
