I can't seem to get the gong out of the pond. Have no cule how to do it. And how to get the totem thing started. Can anyone help!

Hi! You've come to the right place. There is a special section of the forums that contains help and hints for the games. Here is the guide section for VV2, and you'll find everything from hints to complete solutions for the puzzles. Just look at the titles of the sticky posts at the top of the list in that guide section to find what you need.
