Previous Riki's Adventures: Puzzle 25
Riki the explorer bids you to follow him on his latest adventure again! Having secured the Everstone in puzzle 25, Riki feels more confident to go for another treasure hunting trip! Here's Riki, all packed and ready to go!
This time round, he is journeying into the depths of the Amazon rainforest to hunt for a rare tribal totem.
After a long trudge through the forest, Riki and you finally found yourselves before an ancient tomb. The tomb was well hidden amongst lush vegetation, and the stone tomb door was closed. Beside the tomb were some statues with letters engraved below them. Are they worth inspecting...?
Just then, the sharp-eyed Riki quickly spotted 10 levers near the tomb, labelled A-J from left to right. The levers look old from disuse. Still, both of you do not have any other clues to help you all along, so perhaps pulling one of these levers might help.
Riki was about to pull the lever nearest to him when he realised a similar message was engraved on each of the levers: "Be warned, intruders! Only one lever opens the door to the sacred chamber. The rest will bring you certain doom..."
Riki gulped. This is too risky to be left to chance.

this is a 2-part puzzle actually. haha. ive decided to save the most challenging puzzles for Riki's Adventures ;) It appears that noone has found the 2nd part yet.
Hint to part 1: (since i am 100% sure noone has reached part 2) Don't you find the statues interesting? Don't just sit there and wait for the answer to come to you, get moving! Perhaps if you hover around the statues abit more... (:

Uhm, if this is another one of those "change the background color" ones that reveal some message or picture behind that white background, I just want to say that that doesn't work for me. What program would you use to do that anyways? And pelase don't say something like "Paint"

haha, why wldnt it work on you? Evidently the pic of Riki reveals nothing ;) anyway, i use PAINT... and photoshop ;)
well. i think my hint should suffice for now. i suck at giving good hints, so i shant be so big mouth yet. (: it has been a while since i have released a puzzle of such high difficulty anyway.

ok. it appears that some people have already reached the second part of the puzzle. guess my clue was a little too obvious.
