NOTE: the following text is based on PATH #1: go in the
Crypt and the points in parenthesis are also based on
PATH #1. Near the end of the game, you will
have to choose to kill or not Cardinal Genovese, thus
giving ending 1 and 2.
NOTE #2: The text for PATH #2 is the same but
you do not go in the crypt. It will be
indicated when there is something special to do for
PATH #2. You will also have to decide to kill
or not Cardinal Genovese, thus giving ending 3 and 4.
NOTE #3: this means that you will have to play PATH #2
from HERE and exit the cemetery and thus not
go in the crypt.
GOOD LUCK and on with the game.
SO, let’s go in the crypt. Meet Alice and listen to her story.
A ritual will be going on at the Tower of Notre-Dame.
Ben needs to find Percy. (1pt)

SAVE HERE
Use the torch on the darkness. Look at the drawing on the left of the ladder; seems to be the drawing of Notre Dame Cathedral. Underneath, it says:
NOOSES (N for North, O for……)
Go to the room on the left and start from there following NOOSES. And be in another room. Find and pick up a pile of pebbles. (1pt)
There is another drawing on the wall above the pile of pebbles:
NOSESOON
So, from the next room on the left, BUT wait…..remember the carving on the tree: a dog head #2 SENO. SO, before doing the second sequence of going around in the Catacombs, do this:
SAVE HERE
From the next room, do SENO and be in a room with a door and a plaque above the door that you will open with the dog key from Inventory. Go in and see a dog in front of screens. A special ending…………..
OK, let’s get serious now and indeed go to the next room on the left and do NOSESOON.
Arrive in a room where you see a man: a cataflic.
Ben needs to distract him: take the pebbles and click them on the doorway. (1pt)
Walk across the room not before looking at the message:
NO ONE SEES
From the room on the left, do NO ONE SEES and be in a room with a ladder. (3pts)
Go up and be at Notre Dame Cathedral.
NOTRE DAME CATHEDRAL
Go up the stairs and see Max from the Knights.
Choose the offer “to reason” and then the offer of “Cardinal is insane” and then “Walk away”. (1pt) (100pts)
Max goes away.
Enter the Cathedral and meet Alice and Percy.
*******In Solution #2, Ben will meet only Percy.*******
Cardinal Genovese is in the tower. Walk to go up the stairs on the right and meet the Cardinal. See the relics on the table.
Talk to him. It is a long conversation.
At midnight, nothing happens.
SAVE HERE
The Cardinal asks to kill him.
What ever PATH you are playing, you can kill him using the hand icon on him OR turn around to go down the stairs. Thus the two endings for each path.
If you are following PATH #1, when you come down the tower, whether you killed the Cardinal or not, you will meet Alice and Percy.
If you are following PATH #2, you will only meet Percy.
