I tried to get my chief to pick up the pearl to get the pearl from the clam but it said he is lacking the skills to finish the job. What does that mean?

It means that he either isn't skilled in the right area or his skill levels aren't high enough. The chief is only one part of the puzzle. You can refer to the Official VV3 Guide for more specific help. smile

That pearl need to be "worked" before. And so you need... to look at the Forums List » The Guides » Virtual Villagers 3: The Secret City Guide » [SPOILERS] VV3 Puzzle Solutions & game tips (Edit: another one)

Especially at the Puzzle 15 -
Click to reveal..
The Clam Key. You will need to have solved Puzzle 9 (The Statue), a Master Builder, a Master Scientist, and a Tribal Chief. Once the statue is completed, a rough pearl will appear near the statue's feet. Have a Master Builder pick up the pearl - he/she will take it to the waterfall to be shaped. After the builder drops the pearl, drop a Master Scientist on the pearl to take it to the research lab to be finished. Then have the tribal chief pick up the finished blue pearl: the chief will use the pearl to get the key from the giant clam and will then put the key in the door. (As with the other key puzzles, the pearl will return to the last place it was located if a villager drops it before reaching their destination - they will have to pick it up again to complete the task).


Good luck!! smile
