Try adjusting the timing of your running and jumping as the water is rising. I found that I was running too quickly and making jumps to/from boats harder than they should be. Jump off the ledge onto the boat as the water creeps up behind you. This makes the jump from the boat to the next ledge more manageable. Get too far ahead of the rising water and the jumps become frustratingly hard. Good luck.
Thanks Matt! As soon as I hit that button -to get the water to rise- I run back to the first three boats. I run the whole time. is that bad?
I had to stop playing since that post because no matter what, I just couldn't get past that part! How infuriating that was. I'll try again. LOL I went from playing Scooby to Silent Hill 4 "The Room". BIG difference here. LOVE Silent Hill. Played it?

It's possible you are getting ahead of yourself. I replayed this section recently and after pressing the button ran back to the first three boats. Then jump onto the first ledge. From then on you do not have to run. Walking whilst avoiding the monsters can work. If you get onto a boat too quickly wait until the rising water lifts you to make an easy jump, time these jumps to give youself enough time to jump and keep in front of the water, but you don't have to race ahead.
Oh My God!! Thank you!!! Someone had given me the answer. That was driving me crazy! I finally was able to get through it. Whew! I was running instead of walking and not giving the water enough time to rise.
Now I need help with another part of the game. I am stuck in Gloom in the Tomb Part 3. I have the two keys, and have gone up to the gate, there is no lock on it, but it keeps telling me that I "need two keys to unlock the gate" !!! I have the keys, so I don't understand the problem? What did I do wrong, is that a glitch? Do I need more Scooby snacks or something?
Help!!
