* (Close your browser then...) enter the word anima into the box beneath the human characters. Next, hit your Enter key to finish the puzzle.

Phoenix: "One last test and you'll be able to open the Door of the Initiates..."

Moon Puzzle

Phoenix: "To pass this test, you've got to form the password.
                I've hidden it on the Internet.
                Follow the path of the Sun and you'll find it..."
* Click on the screen and the letters will move around.
-Note: A yellow sun will be drawn for you.
* (Assuming the website is still up...) click on the yellow sun which takes you to ( http://www.xineph.com/aze229d/ ).
-Note: You will find another 200 pixel by 200 pixel Macromedia Director animation in the middle of the web page. Browse through the animation like the other. Instead, the password is easily seen with large letters outlined in white. The word is "spiritus."

* (Close your browser then...) enter the word spiritus into the white circles on the screen.
-Note: To move the letters, you will need to push them with your mouse cursor as if the letters, and your cursor, are like ends of magnets (+/+ or -/-) being pushed closer together. Simply guide the proper letters where they go in the circles to spell spiritus. You can either push, or if you are careful, pull the letters into position. I find pulling to be easier to guiding the letters where they need to go.

Phoenix: "Open it... You will find out the truth..."

* Click on the fire within the star on the screen then watch the cutscene.
-Note: Now will be a good time to check your e-mail because you have received 3 new ones. The first is from the SKL Network with a subject line of "Latest info." You can click here if you would like to view it (assuming the e-mail is no longer valid where you wouldn't receive it). The 2nd e-mail is from someone named Julie Massenet with a subject line of "Your team member!" You can click here if you would like to view it. The 3rd e-mail is from someone with the username of Fe256 with a subject line of "Jack Lorski case." You can click here if you would like to view it. You will see Internet web addresses in each of the 3 e-mails. I am writing this walkthrough with the intent that all web addresses will be dead after some period of time (perhaps months or years after the game's release in 2003). You do not need to see the content of the web pages to progress and complete the game, so I will not make them available, in their entirety, for this walkthrough.

You can view the 4th e-mail sent by SKL Network with the subject line "LATEST INFO" by clicking here.

Part II: AQUA

-Note: You will now see a moving, globular mass (blue) in the middle of the screen. Within the mass, you will see 6, small circles (outlined in black) floating around. Alphabetically, they are Aphebis, Bos, Soapphi, Syro, Tetima and Ustichos. Once you click on one, you will be taken to a puzzle. If you decide not to do the puzzle, you can click on the name of the given puzzle (at the bottom of your screen) to be taken back to this screen. The circle(s) you visit, but do not solve, will then have a "+" inside them to notate that you have been to the puzzle, but have not solved it just yet. This walkthrough will deal with the 6 puzzles alphabetically.
* Click on the Aphebis circle.

APHEBIS

Phoenix: "I promise you some of the Polish guy's other films...
                As you have passed my three little tests.
                I'll give you a new clip.
                You'll see it's a lot more interesting than the first one..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the clip of [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] the camera man being executed[/SPOILER].

Phoenix: "You have just opened the first screen of the Great Work.
                To go back, you need only click on the name
                at the bottom of the screen."
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "At the Origin of the Work, there's this film made in 1975.
                I'll give you a few shots. Put them in the right order and
                Aphebis will open."

Okay folks, I blew it when writing this walkthrough. Because I neglected to view the e-mails sent to me through playing the game, I was forced to solve the Aphebis puzzle the hard way by watching it frame by frame. Instead, there is a utility made by a participant in the case, Fe256, called the Analyser. I mention this utility later in this walkthrough, but you can use it now to help with this puzzle if you want to try and solve it on your own. -Gamehound

-Note: You will see 13 screenshots at the bottom of the screen. To lessen confusion, I will assign numbers (1-13) to the screenshots. The screenshot with the girl in the orange bathing suit on the boat will be assigned #1. Then, progressing to the right, the next screenshot will be assigned #2, and so on, until all 13 screenshots have been assigned numbers. There were a couple ways to view the video. One was to visit the following Internet web address ( http://www.skl-network.com/gb/popup1.htm ) which I found browsing through the Internet web address found in the last e-mail from the SKL Network. The other way is to view the movie file in your installation directory... X:\???\In Memoriam\Assets\apphebis.mov - I solved this puzzle using the latter means.

Solution: The screenshots will need to be placed in the gray bar above them, and in the proper order. Going with the numbering system I described above, the following sequence is the correct one... 1,3,7,12,5,8,9,4,2,13,6,11,10

-Note: The easiest way, to lessen confusion, to solve this puzzle is to remove the screens sequentially (first #1 then #2 then #3, etc) and place them in the proper position on the gray bar. I found that trying to place the screenshots in sequential position (left to right in the gray bar) had me counting the screenshots over and over again to get the correct screenshots.
* Click on the stop-watch-like button on the circle to play the movie and complete this puzzle.

BOS

-Note: The following pieces of information were found ( http://www.volker-institut.com/Gesch.html ) doing a search on an Internet search engine (of which I used Google) for Babureck Berthold Reinhart.

* Drag the proper name to the proper member in the picture for all 6 members to complete the puzzle.
* Click on the rectangular animation to proceed.
* Click on the square animation to proceed.
* Click on the rectangular animation to proceed.
-Note: You will see a 7 by 10 grid of squares (70 in all) with a number 70 at the bottom, right-hand corner of the grid.
* Slowly mouse over every square in the grid to reveal a new picture.
-Note: As you mouse over each square, you will see the number in the bottom, right-hand corner decrease by one until all 70 squares have been moused over.
* Slowly mouse over all 70 squares again to reveal the picture needed to solve this puzzle.
-Note: You will see 6 names floating around the base of the grid. You will also see 6 numbered boxes where the names need\ to be placed next to.

Phoenix: "We're slowly making progress... but you'll have to be quicker
                next time... or else..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video and learn that [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Karen is the daughter of the murdered camera man from the 1975 video[/SPOILER].
SOAPPHI

-Note: You see an animation of Karen underwater.
* Click on the animation to get directional crosshairs shown.
* Scroll around the animation to see white-outlined numbers which read 19/75.
-Note: You will notice a value below the bottom, right-hand corner of the animation.
* Move around the animation until the value below the animation reads 19/75.

You can view the 6th e-mail sent by Fe256 with the subject line "Code for Soapphi" by clicking here. It merely tells you the 19/75 coordinates to use and nothing else.

Phoenix: "It looks like you're managing quite nicely, my Little Friend...
                I can't say that your friend Karen went much on her bath,
                but that will teach her to play detective... Apart from that,
                she's alright. Trust me..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You are taken back to the Soapphi puzzle. This time, however, you see an illustration of a girl with a drawing/tattoo on her stomach.
* Click and drag the moving disks away from the girl's stomach.
* Click on the girls belly button until she giggles.

Phoenix: "Did you know this little girl was drawn by Karen?
                Not bad, eh? I swiped her portrait off the Internet...
                All you've got to do is find out what the girl's first name is..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see a five-letter named which needs to be filled in at the bottom of the screen. * (Assuming the website is still up...) click on the white rectangle to open your navigational bar. Next, click on the Internet link to open your browser and take you to the SKL Network website. Click on the Jack Lorski picture. Next, click on the Search link in the side menubar to run a search on Google. Type in Karen Gijman (the one who drew the girl you need to know the name of). Access Karen's website ( http://www.karen-gijman.com/ ). Click on the enter link then click on the Gallery section to find Karen's drawings. The name of the girl is Sanne.
 

* Mouse over the circles on the game screen to hear Karen say the letters they represent.
-Note: I made an illustration of which circles have the letters you need below...

Phoenix: "Seeing as I keep my promises, Soapphi is going to open."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video and learn that [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Volker was the murdered camera man, and Karen's father[/SPOILER].
-Note: The video mentions the detective's first name who was in charge of the investigation of Volker's disappearance. The detective's first name is Vassili.
* Click on the Syro circle.

SYRO

*Click on the rectangular animation then click on the picture of the 2 men.

Phoenix: "Lead the target to its destination and the password will appear."

-Note: In this game, you have to guide the orange object through the maze (4 in all) without touching the walls, running out of time, nor hitting the moving stars. This mini-game is an obvious rip-off of the 1980 game by Taito called Crazy Balloon. There are circles throughout the maze; these are your safe havens. Your objective is to guide the orange object safely to the hollow opening at the end of each maze.

* General strategies to follow for the maze game...

1) Do not leave a safe haven until the time bar resets.
2) Go to every safe haven.
3) Pull your object faster if time is running low.

-Note: With the 3rd strategy be careful. If you pull too far too fast, the orange object will break from your control, and float off until you click on it.

* Warnings about the maze game...
1) If you run out of time, you will have to restart from the last safe haven you went to.
2) If you amass 4 crashes (into stars or walls), you will be reset to the very beginning.

-Note: When you pass all 4 mazes, you will get the following message from the Phoenix...

Phoenix: "Go on then, all you've got to do is enter the password..."
-Note: The password, which is shown under the time bar, is the detective's first and last name which is Vissili Tsirkas.
* Type the detective's name in the white box at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. Click on the white box to submit the "password."

Phoenix: "Well done, my Little Friend! Do you want another of Lorski's
                films?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "I don't know if I should give it to you..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: No video! What a tease.

You can view the 11th e-mail sent by David Marcus with the subject line "My initial analyses" by clicking here.

* Click on the Tetima circle.

TETIMA

-Note: If you mess up, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "Hey! Ease up, my Little Friend! It's no good getting all
                wound up. Let's start again, but easy does it this time,
                alright?"
* Click on the blue circle a series of times. Each new click will reveal a new word, so let the blue circle settle until you click again. Continue clicking until you arrive at the puzzle.

Phoenix: "Once received, three photos will lead you to a Greek Island.
                The letters in its name will open Tetima."

* Move the blue rock on the right side of the screen then allow the undeveloped picture pieces to roll down the conveyor.
* Drag the silver tray (top-right corner of the screen) onto the screen to completely see it.
* Drop the torn picture pieces into the tray of developer.
* Take the developed pictures out of the tray then move the tray back to its original position.
* Assemble the 3 photos.

You can view the 5th e-mail sent by SKL Network with the subject line "Important" by clicking here.

* (Assuming the website is still up...) visit ( http://www.fe256.net/ngcc1p/analyseur.html ) the link given to you in an e-mail from SKL Network. Once there, click and download the Super-8 analyser. Again, you don't need to "download" from the website to use this tool; just enter in the code below. After, you will see the following message...

Well folks, as you can see I didn't use the Analyser tool for the Aphebis puzzle. I solved it the hard way. So, if and when you read the 7th e-mail below, you will understand why I placed it here instead of in the Aphebis section. -Gamehound

You can view the 7th e-mail sent by Julie Massenet with the subject line "You're a genius!" by clicking here.

You can view the 9th e-mail sent by Fe256 with the subject line "HD Super-8 film!" by clicking here.

* In the game, open your navigational bar then enter the code SU2754.
* Click on the Analyse link on your navigational bar.
* Play the video. Pause the video when you see the woman walk beside a wall with writing on it.
-Note: If this option is unavailable to you for any reason, you can view the video in your installation directory ( e.g. C:\Program Files\In Memoriam\Assets\symi_BD.mov ).
* Click on the black square to analyse the image.
* Zoom in on the image until you can see the 3 words on the sign.

* View the rest of the video then close it with the X in top-right corner of the analyser.

You can view the 12th e-mail sent by SKL Network with the subject line "The 7 Sons of Helios" by clicking here.

* (Assuming the website is still up...) open your navigational bar then select Internet. Click on the Jack Lorski image then on the Search menu on the left to perform a search using Google search engine. Search for the word epicharmou (which was the word not in Greek that was seen in the video through the analyser). You will find a website ( http://www.rhodestravel.com/2Stadt.html ) which has 1 reference tp the word epicharmou (useless). So, this provided no help. There is a link at the top of this webpage which reads Begrüßungsseite (translation: Home). Click on that link which takes you to ( http://www.rhodestravel.com/index.html ) the home page where you can view text in English, German or French. After choosing English, you can click click on the "Rhodes - a brief history" link on the side and locate the solution (Greek letters) that need to be entered to complete the Tetima puzzle. Below is a picture of what is shown...

* Write down the Greek letters next to Rhodes (in the above graphic) on a piece of paper because you will have to enter them to complete the Tetima puzzle.
-Note: Close your navigation bar if it is still open.
* Click on the Greek letter, one at a time, to complete the puzzle.
-Note: There are 31 letters in the Greek alphabet, so click through them slowly to match what is seen in the graphic above.
* Watch the video.

You can view the 10th e-mail sent by Julie Massenet with the subject line "Strange" by clicking here.

* Click on the Ustichos circle.

USTICHOS

* Click on the floating microfauna (ring) which will spawn a creature that will eat up all the black stuff at the bottom of the screen. When the creature comes back to the top of the screen, it will turn into a ring microfauna like the first one. Continually create creatures from the rings until all of the black stuff has been eaten up.
* Click on the circle that appears from under the black stuff.

Phoenix: "In Tetima, you'll know where he died. This is where you'll find out
                where he was born..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: Well, there are those little ring microfauna again. Time to replicate. Also, if you don't do anything, and the creatures die, the killer will give you the following message...

Phoenix: "Go on, click on the enemies to destroy them...
                What are you waiting for?"
* Click on the ring microfauna to spawn creatures continuously.
-Note: This time, creatures that attack will try to kill the spawned creatures, so after generating as many good creatures as you can, you will see a 3rd time of microfauna come and attack your spawned creatures. Take a break from generating good creatures and mouse click on the bad creatures before they kill your good creatures. Once they are gone, go back to generating more and more good creatures until the black stuff has been eaten away.
* Type Solingen into the white box which is the name that was covered up by the black stuff. Hit your Enter key to proceed.

Phoenix: "Nice one, my Little Friend. I'm proud of you... Shall we continue?"

You can view the 13th e-mail sent by Julie Massenet with the subject line "Translation of a German newspaper" by clicking here.

-Note: You will notice a discrepancy in the 13th e-mail's spelling (soligen) and the game's spelling of the solution (solingen). So, I do not know which is correct, but you need to enter Solingen to pass the puzzle. -Gamehound

* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video.

Phoenix: "Bravo, my Little Friend, you have passed the first initiation stage.
                Harder ones await you.
                Keep going... Jack and Karen need you..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: 3 new circles, outlined in black, await. They are, alphabetically, Chnouph, Ouphisit and Sothir. They will be covered in that order in this walkthrough.
* Click on Chnouph.

CHNOUPH

-Note: This puzzle is very easy. You simply press on the oil can a few times, and oil drops (of 3 different sizes) emerge. By placing your mouse cursor over the drops, you can drag them around the screen, but be careful not to let them go off of the paper. Make as many large oil drops as you can (small and medium drops can combine to form large drops).
* Drag 10, large oil drops into the circle.

Phoenix: "The invincible Sun is by my side. Its blood-red light warns me...
                SOL INVICTUS: form it in the following screen and
                Chnouph will open..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.

-Note: You will see a blue sun in the middle of the screen which will release letters out of its mouth. There are yellow stars floating around as well. If you touch letters (with your mouse cursor), they will remain by your cursor until a star runs into them (which the sun will replace them if this happens), or they will leave on their own if not dealt with in a reasonably timely manner. As the Phoenix wrote, your task is to collect the letters to spell SOL INVICTUS. When the letters attach, they form a chain. The longer the chain, the more prone you are to having a star hit them and break them up (making you start over).

Strategy: For this "game," it is best if you remain stationary as much as possible. Let the letters come to you. You should only move when you are in a star's path, but try to move as slowly as possible; the faster you move, the larger your chain of letters spreads out (making them more prone to being hit by the stars). Keep your eyes on the stars at all times, as well as the letters you need. You will have to spell SOL INVICTUS without gathering other letters, and in that exact order to complete this mini-game. If you try collecting all letters randomly, you will not complete this mini-game.

* Watch the video of Jack Lorski in Instanbul, and learn that he and Karen cannot locate the book seller they were told about.

You can view the 14th e-mail sent by Julie Massenet with the subject line "name of the modules (cont.)" by clicking here.

* Click on the Ouphisit circle.

OUPHISIT

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.

Phoenix: "Your excursion continues in Istanbul.
                Be patient - the next level will give you an inkling of what it's
                like in Hell... The combination to open Ouphisit can be
                found on a web site. The three names will guide you."
* Click on the screen to begin the puzzle.
-Note: Mouse over each circle until the letters of each circle settle to reveal the following 3 names: Maria Luiza Alves, Satô Mai and Victoria Baring. Take note of the LUND _ _ _ _ _ _ code on the screen. That is what you need to find on the Internet to complete this puzzle. Also, if you double click on a circle, the killer will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "I'll give you a clue: Istanbul."
* Click on the animation to restart it if you double clicked on a circle.

* Open your navigation bar then click on the Internet link.
* (Assuming the website is still up...) click on the Jack Lorski image then click on the Search link to run a search on Google for Maria Luiz Alves which takes you to ( http://www.irbca.com/ ).
-Note: If the website is no longer available, I have included 4 screenshots of the information needed (link below). You will see that Victori Baring is Australian, so she has nothing to do with Istanbul (the Phoenix's clue in the puzzle). Satô Mai is Japanese, so he isn't who we need to find information on. Maria Luiz Alves is from Brazil, so she isn't who we need to find information on either. A Ha! Wouldn't you know, there is only one person from Istanbul on the website below...

* Run a search on Google for Kasim Sari which will take you to the Kilic Library ( http://www.kilic-library.com/ ).
-Note: If you recall the LUND _ _ _ _ _ _ code we needed to find, it is on this webpage. Below is a graphic of what you see...

* Enter the code in the game ( LUND 185053 ) by left clicking on the individual values until the proper value for each digit shows.
-Note: Close your navigation bar before entering the code.

Phoenix: "As you've managed to overcome Ouphisit, I'll give you another
                film from your friend Jack..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack and Karen meeting up with the book seller.

You can view the 15th e-mail sent by Julie Massenet with the subject line "Sol Invictus" by clicking here.

* Click on the Sothir circle.

SOTHIR

Phoenix: "Converge their light above Agia Sophia: it will let you
                open the door."
* Click on the screen to start the puzzle.
-Note: You will see 5 circles floating around. Your goal is to get all 5 circles in the light when the light is directly above the words Agia Sophia on the screen. Unfortunately, I took a screenshot after I had solved the puzzle, but you can see where Agia Sophia is located (above the word SOTHIR at the bottom, center of the screen).

Phoenix: "Saint Sophia: when the 8 levhas are in place,
                Sothir will open..."
* Click on the screen to begin the puzzle.
-Note: You will see a map of a structure with 8 orange dots, and below that are 8 objects. The only clue how to begin solving this puzzle was given by the killer... Sophia & levhas.
* Open your navigation bar then click on the Internet link.
* (Assuming the website is still up...) click on the Jack Lorski image then run a search (Google) for Sophia levhas which will show you a link to a website (http://www.persofrance.com/mathet/jour2.html) which shows you numerous thumbnailed graphics on the left-hand side. These are what you need to solve the puzzle and open Sothir.
-Note: If you close your navigation bar then click on the screen to begin the puzzle, the killer (if you wait long enough) will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "As you look a bit lost, I'll give you a clue: Abu Baker,
                Umar, Othman, Ali"

The only logic needed to know here (of which I guessed correctly) is that the orange dots on the right of the puzzle (beginning with the dot on the bottom then going up) represents low numbers (of which, for the ease of explanation, we will number the plates), and the orange dots on the left (beginning with the dot on the top then going down) represent high numbers. Confusing enough?

...Now we need the 5 images that were shown on the persofrance.com website. They were...

...Alright, now for the explanation. The row of 8 plates should be looked at now. Number them, left to right, 1 through 8. Now look through the above 5 pictures of the plates and you will see the following pattern...

Picture 1 - Plate 2 (left) & Plate 3 (right)
Picture 2 - Plate 5 (left) & Plate 4 (right)
Picture 3 - Plate 6 (left) & Plate 7 (right)
Picture 4 - Plate 7 (left) & Plate 1 (right)
Picture 5 - Plate 1 (left) & Plate 8 (right)

...If you recall the map, and how the numbering is low on the left then increase in value going clockwise, that is how you are to place the plates onto the orange circles on the map. Also, you cannot place more than one of the plates on the map, so disregard the 2 times both plates 7 & 1 are shown. Reading left to right, and from picture 1 to picture 5 sequentially, you will note the pattern of 2, 3, 5, 4, 6, 7, 1 & 8...

...So, solve the puzzle if you haven't already.

Phoenix: "Well done, my Little Friend. You're obviously a bit of a pro at this.
                Here's a new reward..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack and the book seller in Istanbul.

Phoenix: "You are from now on a member of the first initiated.
                With AQUA now defeated, TERRA awakens
                with her first emotions from Hell."

Part III: TERRA

-Note: Wonderful, 3 new black-encircled bubbles. Alphabetically, they are Epichnaus, Epitech and Tair. They will be covered alphabetically in this walkthrough. Before we begin these new modules, let's check some e-mails because quite a few have stockpiled since we last checked (wow, 13 of them!). Please read the notice I relayed at the beginning of Part C of this walkthrough to avoid confusion.
* Click on the Epichnaus circle.

EPICHNAUS

-Note: You will first see a flashing, white dot in the middle of the screen. You can try clicking on it, but nothing happens until the box with alternating road maps appears.
*Click on the box with the road maps.
-Note: You are taken to a screen with a spider on the far left with a path to traverse. There are 3, white objects floating around the screen.

Strategy: The objective is to get the spider to the other end of the board. To do this, you need to place of of the 3 white, floating objects exactly 1 title in front of it. The smallest floating object moves the spider 1 tile (placed behind for backwards or placed in front for forwards). The floating object that looks like a larger version of the smallest will move the spider 2 spaces. The 3rd floating object will move the spider 3 spaces. So, use whichever of the floating objects you want (in whatever order you feel is best) to move the spider across the board. Towards the end of the path, the 2nd to last tile may move (blocking you from reaching the end). If this happens, move your spider back until it goes back into place then move back forward. Try not to land on that piece when you get there though. Try moving exactly to the end tile.

* Clear the 2nd board (same objective as before).
-Note: The 2nd board is a bit trickier than the first (and enough to drive one bonkers). The left-hand, verticle row of tiles will move like a conveyor belt once you get there. If you are fortunate to pass this portion of the path, the tiles at the top rotate in pairs. Good luck!
* Click on the Epitech circle after you have passed the last puzzle.

EPITECH

Phoenix: "Fear is a thing of beauty. I saw it in her eyes. Believe me. H.W
                wasn't as pure as she claimed to be in her private diary."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see an object of a circle with a sun inside. There are 4 red dots, and 4 white dots around circle of the sun. Inside the sun is a white plus (to move the object around the board).

Strategy: Pixel hunting at its worst! The object here is to get all 8 colors of the dots to be red (none white) by moving the sun object around the board until you find the right spot to do this.

-Note: Now there is a box with objects in it (3 of which are red). Remove the 3 red objects, and the white rope from the box then place them on the bottom of the screen. Next, take all of the torn picture pieces out of the box and place them at the top of the screen.
* Piece the 2 pictures together.
-Note: If you take too long, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "The eight sunbeams light up to show you the way..."

* Finish assembling the 2 pictures if you haven't already. Once you are finished, click on the picture of the little girl to reveal an animation which reads "Helena."

* Click on the picture of the older woman to reveal an animation which reads Whitford and gives a file number.

* Access the Internet (Google), and run a search for Helena Whitford. A search will reveal the following website ( http://www.helenawhitford.net/ ) which shows she was born on 9 July 1981.

* Enter the information on the card in the puzzle. First name, Helena. Last Name, Whitford. Date of Birth, 09 07 1981 then hit your Enter key to complete the puzzle.

You can click here to see e-mail #18 with a subject line of 'Helena's diary' send by Julie Massenet, and here to see e-mail #17 with a subject line of 'Autopsy report' by Fe256 regarding the Whitford murder.

Phoenix: "Do you want to see another of the Polish guy's films?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack Lorski on a train in London, and learn that Karen has gone back to Amsterdam.
* Click on the Tair circle.

TAIR

Phoenix: "Places have a soul. Dressed all in white, she walked ahead of
                 me, in this place steeped in history. Just like the others,
                 this place wasn't chosen at random, but with precision.
                 A specific point on a map."

* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see two photographs. Move them off of the white paper that is covered with dirt. The rectangular box beneath the white paper is what we have to complete. By the looks of the N & W, it looks to be map coordinates. All that is shown on the white paper is the word college and part of another word beginning with the letters Ox. The last video we saw was of Jack Lorski in London. Piece that information with college and Ox, and one can deduce that the college in mention is The University of Oxford (a very famous college near London).

* Search the Internet (Google) for the words 'Oxford England latitude' and you will find that the coordinates are 51:45N 1:15W. So, click on the separate values, one at a time in the puzzle, until you fill in the value 051N45 001W15 and solve the puzzle.
-Note: Other walkthroughs I have come across suggest you use 051N44 001W15. Well, nowhere was I able to find on the Internet those coordinates. 051N45 001W15 will solve the puzzle (the actual coordinates of the university).

Phoenix: "It looks like you enjoy my little games... I always reward those
                 that agree to play my game right to the end... Here's your
                 reward... It's always a pleasure to see this place a few
                 months after... Thanks Jack."

* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack Lorski at the university then at the pub talking to the detective, and [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] learn that Helena Whitford was the murdered woman[/SPOILER].
-Note: More modules/puzzles to play through. Alphabetically, they are Amphatab, Aron, Athoub, Broüs, Rhomenos & Soon. As usual, they will be covered alphabetically in this walkthrough.
* Click on the Amphitab circle.

AMPHITAB

* Click on the animation twice to proceed.

Phoenix: "Second Sacrificial Victim. Imploringly, he went down into the
                 church's cellar before dying with a sword in his hand.
                 The date on which this Holy Place was founded will open
                 Amphitab..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see 4 colored capsules (what the Phoenix will call lozenges later) on the left, 3 treadmills in the center of the screen, and 4 pictures on the right. One of the pictures reads Joos Amman Von Ravensburg.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the words Joos Amman Von Ravensburg and find the following website ( http://www.italia-libero.com/ghidoni/in/pres.html ) which was found after selecting English and opening the book on the website.
-Note: You will see a page, on the left, titled 'Hidden Treasures of Genoa's Churches.' You can click on any of the 7 dots to reveal various information. Of the 7 dots, only dot #2 has one of the 4 pictures we saw in the puzzle, so the answer must be found there. On the right-hand page (after clicking on the 2nd dot), you will see the number 658. That is the 3-digit number we need to complete the puzzle.

Strategy: To complete this puzzle, you need to enter the number 658 by using the various treadmills. An insect will come out and move the treadmills if you offer the right combination of capsules. Once the desired number is achieved, click on the insect to scare it away. The treadmill on the left requires that you feed the insect yellow & blue capsules (one at a time, and only one of each). The middle treadmill requires that you feed the insect (one at a time, and only one of each) green & blue capsules. The treadmill on the right requires that you feed the insect (one at a time, and only one of each) green & yellow capsules. Also, the red capsule will kill the insect, so you don't want to use it.

* Solve the puzzle. 6 for the treadmill on the left. 5 for the middle treadmill. 8 for the treadmill on the right.

Phoenix: "Yet again, it looks like you're getting along nicely, my Little Friend...
                 You liked using the red lozenge, didn't you?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Click on the Aron circle.

ARON

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.
-Note: You will see a small, white, rectangular box in the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen where you will need to provide the solution to complete this puzzle. There are a lot of white stars floating around the screen. Towards the right is a vertically scrolling line of a single picture (this picture will be key in solving this puzzle). At the bottom, left-hand corner of the screen is a silver blade.
* Move the blade across the screen without hitting the stars.
-Note: If you hit a star, you will have to start over, and the word you must uncover will change locations each time you get hit. To avoid getting hit, you can release the blade (while anywhere on the screen), and the stars will pass by you without causing you to restart the puzzle.

* Search the Internet (Google) for the word OESPG and find the following website ( http://www.oespg.com/gb/ ).
* Click on the Principle & Organization link on the website to see a picture of the founder and president, Father Malard.

-Note: His picture looks like the one scrolling in the puzzle. Because Father Malard's first name wasn't mentioned, it is safe to assume that his last name is the word we must use to solve this puzzle.
* Type in the word malard into the white box in the puzzle then hit your Enter key to solve the puzzle.
* Watch the video of Jack Lorski driving in Italy. Learn that Karen meets up with him once again.
* Click on the Athoub circle.

ATHOUB

Phoenix: "On the Sacred Journey, Sol was obviously the first, followed
                 by Mars, Saturn and Apollo. Four planets
                 Their images will go into these four spaces."

* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 4, empty boxes at the bottom of the screen. At the top of the screen are disassembled puzzle pieces. To the right of the puzzle pieces is a dish (circle) of solution.

You can click here to see e-mail #21 for information that will help you solve this puzzle.

Strategy: To solve this puzzle, I found it easiest to enlarge all of the pieces to maximum size in the solution. To do so, drop the pieces into the solution then click on the button. Piece the puzzles together with the pieces enlarged (easier to see that way). After, you will need to resize the pieces to fit into its respective box. To re-shrink pieces, place them back into the solution then click on the button again to make it go the other way. And if you go too small, you can re-enlarge it by pressing the button again. Just recall the order of the pictures from the Phoenix's last message... Sol (Sun), Mars, Saturn then Apollo. Also, the pieces will only go to the box that will accept them.

* Click on the Broüs circle.

BROÜS

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.

Phoenix: "First Sacrificial Victim. He died without understanding, his eyes
                 fixed on the black sun. His father will give you his surname.
                 His first name will open Broüs..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see a white, rectangular box at the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen where you will need to enter the solution to this puzzle. Above the box is a tray with a picture, a map and a photograph. Removing the objects from the tray proves to be useless. No clues to look up on the Internet (from the puzzle, nor from the words of the Phoenix). So, the only option left is to check the e-mails.

You can read e-mail #22 here for some help solving this puzzle (an e-mail with a subject line 'Brous' and sent by Fe256). Click here to read e-mail #23 (an e-mail with a subject line 'Information request' and sent by SKL Network), here to read e-mail #24 (an e-mail with a subject line 'Omicide a Genova' and sent by Marco Lerini), and here to read e-mail #25 (an e-mail with a subject line 'Re: Brous' and sent by Fe256) for additional information to help solve this puzzle.

* Move the white business card out from under the left-hand side of the tray.
-Note: Now we have something to work with. Felice Maggioli is a re-occurring name from the e-mails we received. To solve Broüs, you need the first name of the sacrificial victim this puzzle pertains to.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the words Maggioli murder and find the following website ( http://www.sabelli.net/in/archivo.html#archives3 ) where the answer lies.

* Enter the solution into the puzzle (which is [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Gianni[/SPOILER]).
* Click on the animation to proceed.

You can click here to read e-mail #29 with a subject line of "Message from Felice Maggioli" from the SKL Network which further provides his son's name.

You can click here to read e-mail #28 with a subject line of "Nonna Fina" from Fe256.

-Note: E-mail #28 (above) adds useless information, but I will provide what is shown on the website regardless. The website being referred to ( http://www.messini-yc.com/in/index.html ) was found by searching on the Internet (Google) for 'Maggioli yacht'. Also, there wasn't any means of providing login information that I could find on the website where e-mail #28 suggests that you can. Once there, you can click on a link called "Check out the table of results for the Ultimo Bacoli Cup" and see how Maggioli did in the race (useless information). He placed first coincidentally.

Phoenix: "Watch closely my Little Friend. You're going to learn a lot..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack & Karen in Italy touring the monastery.
* Click on the Rhomenos circle.

RHOMENOS

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.

Phoenix: "Fourth Sacrificial Victim. He died, drained of his blood.
                 Do you want to know why he was chosen?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "From one red point to another, six steps are required before you
                 can get to him..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 6 clusters of 3, white circles, a solitary red circle at the bottom of the screen, and a cluster of 2 white circles with 1 red circle on the right-hand side of the screen.

Strategy: From what the Phoenix said, we have to create a path from the solitude red circle to the other red circle with 6 steps before reaching it.

-Note: Along the path, at different points, you are shown a name. That name is [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Jose Cortado[/SPOILER].

Phoenix: "Two words on this engraving led to his downfall...
                 He was out of luck - he naively showed them on the Internet.
                 Find them and you'll know why he died."

-Note: You see boxes for 2 words. The 1st word contains 5 letters, and the 2nd word has 6 letters.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the two following words 'Cortado engraving' to find the following website ( http://www.sainte-inquisition.net/gb/2paris.html ). There, you will see the picture that is also in the puzzle. At the website, click on the enlarge hyperlink for the solution.

* Enter in the 2 words found from the website by left clicking in each box until the correct letter comes up.
* Click on the animation to proceed.

* Click on the Soon circle.

SOON

-Note: Another mini-game. Sling the ball into the hole. The first time through each of the 4 courses, you can take as many shots as you need. I recommend taking at least 10 because you will have to re-do the same holes a 2nd time through. You are only allowed a maximum of 10 shots the second time through. If you clear the hole in 5 shots then you will only be given a maximum of 5 shots to clear it the 2nd time through. After you clear the first hole (2nd round of the first hole), the word Napoli appears.

Phoenix: "Well done, my Little Friend... You deserve a reward, and
                 yet I'm sure you're worthy of much more than that..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: Time to play through the 2nd of 4 courses total. Same rules apply as the previous course, but subsequent courses will get progressively more difficult. Course 4 is very difficult. Good luck. After you clear course 2, the word Genova appears.

Phoenix: "I'll leave you to it... Jack and Karen are waiting for me..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: After you clear course 3, the word Geneva appears.. After you clear course 4, the word Toulouse apears.

Phoenix: "Oxford, Naples, Genoa, Geneva, Toulouse...
                 As your friend Jack would say, 'The Oxford case was growing
                 at a worrying rate.' Just look at the glint in his eye..."

Part IV: AER

-Note: New modules/puzzles. Alphabetically, they are Chnoum, Isy and Sosommo.
* Click on the Chnoum Circle.

CHNOUM

-Note: You see an animation of rolling clouds in the middle of the screen, and a white text box below it (to enter the solution).
* Click and drag the cursor across the screen to find six words in a foreign language (Latin? Italian?).
-Note: The words will appear sequentially, but you will need to hold and drag the clicks long enough for enough white line to be released to form each of the words (just hold the click until no more white line is released for each of the 6 words). Below are the words you will find...
 

* Search the Internet (Google) for the 6 words which are [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] est impuri separatio a substantia puriore[/SPOILER], and be taken to the following website [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.hermeticum.info/principles.html )[/SPOILER]. On this webpage, you find the one, missing word needed to complete the puzzle.

-Note: If you wait too long to solve the puzzle, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "Write on the sky, to Her they will guide..."

* Enter the missing word into the text box to complete the puzzle. The missing word/solution is [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] alchimia[/SPOILER]. Hit your Enter key after entering the word in to complete the puzzle.
* Watch the video of Karen and Jack in Tuscany, Italy.

* Click on the Isy circle.

ISY

* Click on the animation twice to proceed.

Phoenix: "There are seven of them. One is missing - enter the full
                 name and Isy will open"
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see the familiar white text box to enter the solution into. In the middle of the screen are a lot of jumbled letters dancing around. Also, there are larger letters, in gray circles, that shrink into and out of view. Clicking on the larger letters adds those letters to the text box (to solve the puzzle).

Strategy: When the orange circle moves around the screen, it will stop on 6 of the 7 "X" symbols in random order. Hold your cursor over 6 "X" symbols when the orange circle is over them individually. Letters from the center will move to each of the 6 visited "X" symbols to form chemical symbols. The symbols shown are [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Ag (silver), Au (gold), Cu (copper), Fe (iron), Pb (lead) and Sn (tin... also known as St for Stannum)[/SPOILER].

-Note: Your job is to find the 7th chemical symbol not visited in the puzzle.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the words [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] metals au cu fe alchemy[/SPOILER] and be taken to a familiar website [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.hermeticum.info/laboratory.html )[/SPOILER].

-Note: Great, now we know that the missing element is [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Hg (mercury)[/SPOILER]. However, to enter the solution into the puzzle, there are only certain letters you can use (A, B, D, F, G, H, M, R, U, X and Y), so entering the word [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] mercury[/SPOILER] is not an option. You can try entering in the chemical symbol for the missing element, [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Hg[/SPOILER], but that doesn't solve the puzzle either.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the following words: [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] seven mercury other languages[/SPOILER], and find the following website... [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.vanderkrogt.net/elements/elem/hg.html )[/SPOILER].

                 films, my Little Friend? I don't know if I should give you the next one...
                 it contains a clue that might lead you to me a bit too quickly..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Click on the Sosommo circle.

SOSOMMO

-Note: You see a box with a picture of a place and Karen in it. There is a sign that is scratched out in the picture. Thre are 2 bulbs (one on each end of the box), a hole in the middle, and a ball.
* Blow the ball into the hole (just once) to view the next piece of the puzzle.

Phoenix: "A quick rest. The name of the place where you'll find Karen
                 will open Sosommo."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You have the option of playing the blow-the-ball-into-the-hole game some more, but that will get you nowhere. I played it another 7 times before realizing I was wasting my time. So I decided to review the information I had already. Click on the picture in the above link, and note that it is a mathematical expression. Couple this piece of information with e-mail #27 (provided in the link below), and we are on our way to solving this puzzle.

You can click here to read e-mail #27 with a subject line of "Amphitab" by Fe256.

-Note: So, the mathematical expression we need to solve is [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Inkdesign( (not found)-327 ) ==> Inkdesign(404-327) ==> Inkdesign77[/SPOILER].
* Search on the Internet (Google) for [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Inkdesign77[/SPOILER], and be taken to the following website [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.inkdesign77.com/gb/ )[/SPOILER] then click on the Webcam link at the top of the webpage to find the picture (and name of the place) where Karen was photographed in the puzzle.

* Enter the words [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Lucciola Bella[/SPOILER] into the text box then hit your Enter key to solve the puzzle.
* Watch the video of Jack and Karen, and learn that [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Helena Whitford was a member of a secret society called Manus Domini[/SPOILER].
-Note: More puzzles/modules. Alphabetically, they are Nephoemes, Pepisoth, Phu, Spuchu, Vari and Zocha. They will be covered alphabetically in this walkthrough.
* Click on the Nephoemes circle.

NEPHOEMES

-Note: You see 10 metal disks with letters on them. Below them is a circle with a dot in the middle. To the right are 10, small boxes.
* Click on the circle with the dot in the middle to listen to Karen singing a nursery rhyme of some sort.

Strategy: The object here is to match the 10 individual clips of the song Karen is singing to be replayed as a whole the way Karen sung it. The song itself doesn't change, but each time you leave the puzzle and return, the order of the clips changes. Because of this, there is no possible way for me to write a walkthrough for this (because it will be different for everyone). Instead, I thought it would be best if I phonetically (written the way it sounds) write out the correct order of Karen's song, so you can pick out the individual pieces easier and in the correct order you need to play them for your individual game.

-Note: So, solve the puzzle by clicking on the disks, one at a time, to see which match up to the phonetic translations I relayed. The proper order must be relayed in order to complete this puzzle. Also, once all 10 clips are placed, if any of the small boxes turn orange then you placed those clips wrong. To successfully complete this puzzle, all of the small boxes need to be white which represents no errors when placing the clips in the proper order. Incidentally, after leaving and returning several times to the puzzle, the order I needed to use was: 2 4 8 10 1 5 6 7 9 3 (going from left to right).

Phoenix: "What about another little game? You'll see, this one's a good
                 laugh. To open Nephoemes, you have to get the blade
                 through to cut the string on the other side. If you cause a lesion
                 on the intestinal wall, you'll go back to the beginning."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 17 small boxes below a moving intestine. At the far right is the string that need to cut to pass this puzzle. The blade is at the far left where the opening of the intestine is located.

Strategy: The easiest thing to do is to get the blade to the middle of the intestine where it is the thickest. To get the blade there, wait until the intestine (from the beginning to the middle) becomes one, straight path. When it does this, move the blade quickly to the middle of the intestine on one, fast motion. Next, you will see how the next part forms an arch, but it also moves that arch diagonally to the top left. Immediately after it returns from moving diagonally, move your blade through the rest of the intestine, and out the other end to cut the string.

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen, and learn of Jack's feelings of Karen and the uncertainty he feels of their future.
* Click on the Pepisoth circle.

PEPISOTH

Phoenix: "My Little Friend, we're coming to the moment of Truth.
                 Philosophia Occulta.
                 Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim.
                 He was his disciple, just as I am his..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "On the talisman screen, three astral images will open the
                 Pepisoth path. The first is the image of the Sun."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 5 circles interconnected by a line. There are 2 other circles highlighted white. There is nothing much we can do for now, so check your e-mail.

You can click here to see e-mail #38 with the subject line "Magic symbols (cont.)" from Julie Massenet, and here to see e-mail #39 with the subject line "Pepisoth" from Marco Lerini.

* Go to the website Julie Massenet gave you in e-mail #38 ( http://www.demagia.net/corne.html ).

-Note: Okay, great, but the Phoenix said 3 astral images, and the first is the sun. So, if you click on the "Picatrix" link on the website Julie Massenet gave us, you will be shown which 3 astral images to use in the game.

Strategy: The 2 white circles are your starting and ending points. Despite the "Picatrix" link showing the order of Sun, Jupiter then Venus, the game plays the order of Sun, Venus then Jupiter (which is apparent in the positioning of the white circles). It is best not to place the circles on the starting and ending points until very last. When you place a circle on a correct position, music plays. Having music play will make it harder to find other correct positions. So, following the diagrams of the 3 astral images, find the inner 3 points (between the starting and ending points). Once you find a correct position (music will play), move it one space away to get the music to stop playing. Once you have found all 3 middle points, place the circles in their correct positions. There are 3 boards to play through. I have included screenshots of the correct placements of all 3 boards below...

You can click here to see the solution for board 1 (Sun), here to see the solution for board 2 (Venus), and here to see the solution for board 3 (Jupiter).

Phoenix: "6 enlightened letters will open Pepisoth.
                 Use your keyboard, my Little Friend..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see all 26 letters of the English alphabet moving around in the middle of the screen. You will see letters at all 4 corners of the screen which spell out NOLAIN. If you mess up, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "Steady on, my Little Friend, you're going to break your keyboard."

Strategy: You can only use the 26 letters on your keyboard to "guide" the correct letters to their positions in the corners of the screen. Sometimes you can just hold down one letter to guide the letter you need where it needs to go. Other times, you will have to use a combination of keys to push the letter you need where it needs to go. The final piece of advice I can offer is to leave the puzzle then go back into Pepisoth as many times as you need (the game will never re-set back to the beginning) to get better positions for letters you need to place because positions change each time you leave and come back. This puzzle isn't difficult, but it is frustrating (as many other mini-games are in this game). Good luck!

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen visiting the site in the mysterious e-mail they received.
* Click on the Phu circle.

PHU

Phoenix: "Everything was planned from the beginning. Everything.
                 In an abandoned barn near an old abbey, no one heard his
                 cries. The fire cleansed him.
                 In homage to my master, I left this talisman on the wall.
                 If you understand me, you'll know how to decode it."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 2 text boxes (to enter the solution) on the screen. Above it are symbols with the words In Memoriam.

You can click here to see e-mail #33 with the subject line "Magic symbols" from Julie Massenet.

-Note: We have seen those symbols before from a previous website we visited. That website is ( http://www.demagia.net/corne.html ).

* Match the symbols with their numeral equivalents, and find them to be [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] 1548 - 1600[/SPOILER]. Enter these values into the puzzle. Hit your Enter key to finish the puzzle after entering in the correct information.

Phoenix: "You're getting closer to the goal, my Little Friend. Watch
                 out though, you might get your wings burnt... To open Phu,
                 all you need to do is form the 13 letters of my other name."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You will see a dragonfly (also referred to as a butterfly in e-mail #40). Beneath it are 13 dots.
* Click on the box with a question mark (top, right-hand corner of the screen) for a clue.

Phoenix: "Setting out from Naples, I had to flee across Europe."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Search the Internet (Google) for the following 'Naples 1548 1600' and be taken to the following website ( http://www.bruno-giordano.net/ ).
-Note: The Phoenix wants a name with 13 letters. Giordano Bruno is letters. Also, if you wait too long to to solve the puzzle, the Phoenix relays the following message...

Phoenix: "In Pepisoth, you'll find out my nickname."

Strategy: This puzzle is very simple (once you know the mechanics). You need to spell out the name mentioned above. To do that, you must first press on one of the dragonfly's 12 wings (or tail) then press on one of its antennae to produce the correct letters you need. The left antenna produces letters A-M. The right antenna produces letters N-Z. To choose which letter you want, you click on a specific wing (or the tail) first then you click on a proper antenna. Think of the dragonfly as a clock. The wing pointing to the 11 o'clock position is the beginning of the alphabet ("A" for the left antenna, and "N" for the right antenna). Moving counterclockwise (one wing or tail at a time), the letters go down the alphabet. Examples: To get the letter "G," you would click on the tail (the 6 wings on the left would produce, moving counterclockwise, A, B, C, D, E & F, so G would be the tail and H would be the bottom wing on the right and so forth) then you would click on the left antenna (because the left represents letters A-M); for the letter "I," you would click on the wing 2nd from the bottom on the right-hand side of the dragonfly then you would click on the left antenna; for the letter "O," you would click on the wing 2nd from the top on the left-hand side of the dragonfly then you would click on the right antenna (because it will bring letters N-Z)... and so forth.

* Solve the rest of the puzzle by dragging the letters to their appropriate positions along the 13 dots.

-Note: Place the correct numbers in the missing spaces. Use the numbers, in blue, to see the existing totals of the columns or rows. The correct positions are [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] top row, 2nd box is 32 & 4th box is 34. 2nd row, 1st box is 7 & 5th box is 8. 3rd row, 3rd box is 16 & 6th box is 14. 4th row, 1st box is 18 & 4th box is 21. 5th row, 5th box is 26. 6th row, 3rd box is 33 & 6th box is 31[/SPOILER].

Phoenix: "Just like Jack, you'll discover my face at the end of the journey."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: Oh joy, another mini-game. The yellow bar above is your time line; run out of time, and begin again. Until you have mastered the mechanics of this game, the last board (#5) will seem impossible to beat. Learn the techniques in the strategy below, and practice them. They, I believe, will help you pass all 5 boards of this mini-game.

Strategy: There are 4, basic strategies I recommend employing to pass each of the boards. 1. Gravity (hang objects from the top walls or they will fall to the sides or to the bottom and crash into the walls). 2. Use multiple strings to reduce crashing into the walls or other obstacles. 3. Keep lines fastened to one corner of the object whenever possible (else, there will be a lot of spinning out of control going on). 4. Keep lines as short as possible to avoid elastic rebound (and crashing into walls or other objects). Ultimately, you need to avoid hitting the walls and the skulls & crossbones (poison symbols). You will need to guide your object to the white goal for each of the 5 boards. Practice makes perfect, and you will need a lot of practice for the later boards. For the first board, I found it easiest to make the first line to the white circle to the right of the goal. Cut your first line then let it zip over to the other end. After, make another line in the direction that will pull the object to the goal then cut the other line to let it go into the goal. I will leave the other 4 boards for you to solve. Good luck! Also, if you mess up, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "You lose again! Try harder, my Little Friend!"

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen driving in Paris.

Phoenix: "AER has been defeated. The flames of IGNIS will accompany you
                 from now on in your final initiation stages.
                 The moment of truth approaches..."

Part V: IGNIS

-Note: Weee, getting closer. 6 more modules to play through. Alphabetically, they are Chnoumos, Chthisar, Ipi, Phatiti, Subos and Teuchmos. They will be covered alphabetically in this walkthrough.
* Click on the Chnoumos circle.

CHNOUMOS

You can click here to see e-mail #43 with the subject line "Cassiopeia 1572" from Fe256.

-Note: You see a tray with 2 matchsticks, and 9 marbles. If you pull the marbles back, release them then let them crash into a wall (or into other marbles), you will see that all 9 marbles are each assigned a letter of the English alphabet (A-H). Also note the small, black holes in the tray (these are where the marbles need to be placed to solve this puzzle).
* Search the Internet (Google) for 'cassiopeia 1572 tycho' and find the following website ( http://www.seds.org/~spider/spider/Vars/sn1572.html ).

* Place the marbles in their correct positions to solve the puzzle.
* Watch the video of the Phoenix watching Jack and Karen.

Phoenix: "They were looking for me everywhere, even though I was close.
                 by, right beneath their window. Ah, poor Jack!"
* Click on the screen to proceed.

You can click here to see e-mail #48 with the subject line "Tycho Brahe" from Julie Massenet.

* Click on the Chthisar circle.

CHTHISAR

-Note: Just a dark screen is shown with a flame.

Strategy: The goal here is to move the flame through the dark to the top where the lit white object is. The screen is full of holes. If you hit the holes, the flame goes out and you have to start over. The path to take is to start diagonally down toward the word Chthisar at the bottom of the screen. Pass by the word (to the right) then start upward. Weave your way up to the top of the screen then move left to get into the lit area.

Phoenix: "Minerva: I wrote the first part of the message with her blood.
                 5 letters that will open Chthisar."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: There is an animation in the middle of the screen. Above the animation is a white box moving from one side of the screen to another. Below the animation is the familiar text box. The white box, at the top, is the "play" button of the animation. You can click on it to pause the animation, or you can play parts in slow motion.

-Note: We've seen those symbols before. Go to ( http://www.demagia.net/corne.html ) and see the following information...

* Enter the word [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] nagha[/SPOILER] into the text box then hit your Enter key to complete the puzzle.
* Watch the video of Jack and Karen in Prague.

Phoenix: "They walked past me in the streets of Prague and they didn't even
                 realise. As for Minerva, she was waiting for me, deep in prayer..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.

You can click here to see e-mail #44 with the subject line "[none]" from ----- Phoenix.
* Click on the Ipi circle.

IPI

-Note: Piece the puzzle together. Be careful, every piece rotates in 4, different directions (one at a time) when clicked upon.

Phoenix: "6 planets destroyed and Ipi will open."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see a disk that rotates 360 degrees in the middle of the screen. The disk constantly shoots out a light beam. There are 4 reflective objects which bend the beam. You can rotate the reflective objects.

Strategy: Move a reflective object to an anticipated position of the light beam where the beam won't hit it for a while. Next, position another reflective object in the angle you think the beam will bend from the first reflective object. Finally, position another reflective object to bend the beam a 3rd time, and aim the beam at a planet. You will need to bend the beam at least 3 times in order to hit a planet. Once a planet is destroyed, a white dot will float around as if something were released. Destroy all 6 planets.

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen being watched by the Phoenix.

Phoenix: "You saw how romantic it was!
                 From a distance, the Phoenix was watching his prey and biding
                 his time."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Click on the Phatiti circle.

PHATITI

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.

Phoenix: "The accomplishment is getting closer. Near a castle,
                 Minerva's blood was used to draw the Truth in the snow.
                 Light the Sun. Its light will lead you to the castle.
                 Four numbers inscribed on its tower will open Phatiti."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see the familiar text box, a sun in the middle, and a piece of paper with writing on it including the year 1599.
* Click on the sun object numerous times until it ignites.
* Move the paper over the lit sun to reveal the missing letters of the message [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Benatky 1599[/SPOILER].
* Search the Internet (Google) for [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Benatky castle 1599[/SPOILER], and find the following website [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.betaky-castle.net/an/historie.html )[/SPOILER].

* Enter the number [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] 1864[/SPOILER] into the text box then hit your Enter key to complete the puzzle.

Phoenix: "With the Ninth Step accomplished, I knew he'd go there."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack finding another crime scene.
* Click on the Subos circle.

SUBOS

-Note: You see a doll off to the side, a background image of some sort, and a matchbox.
* Place your cursor over the matchbox to open it then hold the left click down. Move the lit matchstick over to the doll to burn it (and reveal a skeleton).
* Position the skeleton like the one now shown on the matchbox.
-Note: Listen for the "clicks" when positioning the skeleton.

Phoenix: "Shall we continue?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "You need to kill to survive.
                 Kill the parasites before they eat you!
                 If all the plants get eaten, you lose!"
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: You see 15 parasites on the screen (brown), and 5 plants (orange). There is a time bar at the top of the screen. If you fail the game, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "You lose."

Strategy: Hold your left click down at all times then move the cursor over to the parasites until they are all gone.

Phoenix: "It looks as though you like this game. Right then, let's make it
                 a bit more difficult..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: This time there are 17 parasites, and 7 plants to protect. The other difference to note is that the parasites will return if knocked off of the screen. If you lose, the Phoenix will relay the same 'you lose' message as before.

Strategy: This time, guard 1 cluster of flowers, and leave the others to the parasites. Let the parasites come to you until there is just 1 parasite remaining then go after the parasite and kill it.

Phoenix: "One more and you'll have your reward..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: This time there are 17 parasites, and 11 plants to protect.

Strategy: I recommend trying to protect the 5 flowers in the top, left-hand corner of the screen. Leave the other flowers for the parasites. If you lose the cluster of 5 flowers, guard your remaining flower(s) until 1 parasite is left then go after the parasite and kill it.

Phoenix: "At night, the castle is deserted. no one heard her screams."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Click on the Teuchmos circle.

TEUCHMOS

* Click on the animation 3 times to proceed.
-Note: You see a lit matchstick.

Strategy: Keep the pilot lights lit by lighting them first (using the gas dial). After, you will continuously reset the gas dial to on and re-light individual flames that go low. Do this until all of the boxes at the top go orange.

Phoenix: "He lived in this house in Prague a few years after I'd been
                 there. A house: a street name, a number.
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Find the message [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] KNUDSTORP 1546[/SPOILER] on a wall.

-Note: IF you take too long, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "According to some rumors, he died from poisoning..."

-Note: If you wait even longer, the Phoenix will relay the following message...

Phoenix: "If you can find his place of birth,
                 you'll find his name and maybe his address."

* Search the Internet (Google) for [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] KNUDSTORP 1546[/SPOILER], and find the following webpage [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.tychobrahe.net/ )[/SPOILER].

                 I was in Benatky to accomplish the Ninth Step of the Initiation."
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the video of Jack and Karen learning of the Benatky castle murder.

You can click here to see the message written in snow from the Phoenix (2nd part of the 'nahga' message from earlier).

-Note: If you are following other walkthroughs on the Internet, you may wonder why the Benatky-castle video appears here, in this walkthrough, unlike the others on the Internet. I played the modules alphabetically (i.e. I played the modules in a different order). The Benatky-castle video comes after completing whatever your 6th (of 9) module is. For me, it was Teuchmos. Also, 3 new modules to play through. Alphabetically, they are Choutaret, Lachori and Sichet. They will be covered alphabetically in this walkthrough.
* Click on the Choutaret circle.

CHOUTARET

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen being watched by the Phoenix.

Phoenix: "Venice. As you know, that's where they captured my master.
                 His suspicions aroused, the Phoenix didn't give them the
                 pleasure..."

* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "At the root of it all is the Book that Volker didn't have the time
                 to reveal to the whole world. They killed him, because he was
                 getting ready to unleash the Truth! They killed him, because
                 they were afraid of the words in the Book, just as they were
                 afraid of my master's words"

* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "Glory to he who discovered the Sacred Book!
                 Minerva's message will lead you to it."
-Note: Time to decrypt the full message from before...

LACHORI

* Watch the video of Karen being followed by the Phoenix.

Phoenix: "Venice. Just like Jack and Karen, here you are at the
                 end of the journey, my Little Friend. A bit more effort,
                 and you'll know what fate I've got in store for them..."
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "I just had to fit in a few games that remind me of
                 my childhood. Are you ready?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.

Phoenix: "You'd be better off using the arrow keys on your little
                 keyboard to move the Moon to the centre."

-Note: Something of a Pac-Man game. Eat the yellow objects to turn the enemies green (to eat them). Guide your white moon to the circle on the middle (entrance at the right of the object).

Phoenix: "The coat of arms will open Lachori."

* Click on the screen to proceed.
-Note: There are 5 picture slides, a family crest (shield), and a light in the middle.
* Place all of the picture slides over the light (one on top of the other), except the slide with the letter "N" on the left-hand side, to reveal the name [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] MOCE IGO[/SPOILER]. The letter "N" will fit in the missing space.
* Search the Internet (Google) for [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] Mocenigo family[/SPOILER], and find the following website [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] ( http://www.hotel-mocenigo.com/ )[/SPOILER]. There, find the light and dark pattern of the family crest (shield) which is show below...

-Note: Well, bad on the game developers. Without Patch v1.2 (mislabeld as v2.1 on Ubi Soft's website), you cannot solve this puzzle. So, download and install it.
* Click on the proper light & dark colors on the family crest (shield), in the puzzle, to solve it.

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen, in Venice, staking out the Mocenigo palace. On the 2nd night, Karen discovers a mysterious man.
* Click on the Sichet circle.

SICHET

* Watch the video of Karen being followed by the Phoenix.

Phoenix: "By playing with fire,
                 Jack and Karen ended up getting what they deserved, didn't they?
                 Like two miserable little lambs to the slaughter..."

-Note: You see an animation of Karen racing by (horizontally). Moving the cursor to the top of the screen enlarges the image. Moving the cursor to the bottom of the screen makes it smaller. Moving right makes the animation play forward, and left makes the animation play backward.

Strategy: Pixel hunting time. The object here is to find the correct pixel to move your mouse over on the the screen to play the animation at the proper speed and size (large or small in size). For me, the point was mid-screen just below the animation. That is all that I can say for this puzzle. Good luck!

You can click here to see e-mail #49 with the subject line "Help with Sichet" from Fe256.

-Note: Another arcade-style game (Space Invaders?). This is, by far, the most annoying & difficult of all the arcade-style games within the game itself.

Strategy: There is nothing much that I can say to lend advice with successfully completing this game. Gratefully, there are 2 checkpoints before the end of the game. If you successfully make it to either checkpoint, you will begin each time from the checkpoint you reach instead of from the beginning again. To fire and steer your ship, you use your left mouse button. For steering, moving the mouse, like a compass rose, will guide your ship. So, to move backwards, move the mouse below the ship (south). To move to the top, move your cursor above the ship (north), etc. You can also fire using your spacebar, but I found it easiest to solely use the mouse for both steering and firing. Also, I found it best to stay at the bottom of the screen when shooting at enemies. For piloting your ship through tight spaces, sometimes it is advantageous to stay at the bottom of the screen, and sometimes it is advantageous to move forward. Other than the aforementioned, there is nothing else I can say to help you pass this annoying mini-game. Just keep at it, and take breaks to get refreshed. Good luck!

* Watch the video of Jack and Karen in their room then the Phoenix following Karen. Learn that both Jack and Karen [SPOILER - Click & Drag after the end of this box to the /SPOILER box to view it.] get caught by the Phoenix individually[/SPOILER].

Phoenix: "Do you really want to continue?"
* Click on the screen to proceed.
* Watch the following animations go by (Sol, Mars, Saturnus, Apollo, Venus, Esculapius, Tellus, Juppiter, Minerva, Cupido, Luna and Mercurius).
-Note: You are taken to a screen (no background music) with just a small, flashing dot in the middle of the screen.
* Click on the dot in the middle of the screen.

Finale:

-Note: By clicking on the flashing dot in the last screen, you will be taken to a website...

-Note: The skull & crossbones (poison) symbols, and the moving tentacles are the obstacles you need to avoid hitting. The object is to get the white circles, with pictures inside, to 1 of the 5 circles next to the moving tentacles. There are 2 wildcard pieces which appear periodically. The first wildcard piece is a small, yellow circle with the picture of a moon. You can use this piece in 1 of 2 ways. If it appears (which a sound will go off before it does), and it is your turn, it is best to take it and click on it to make it go away. If you don't, the Phoenix can use it against you. If it is your turn, and the Phoenix just took his turn, you can use the moon wildcard on the piece he just placed to knock it away and nullify his move. Be careful, because he can use the moon wildcard to knock a piece of yours away as well. The 2nd wildcard piece has the image of a sun on it. If used before grabbing onto a white piece to place, it will give you invincibility (i.e. you can touch any enemy or tentacle without losing a turn). Sol Invictus... Invincible Sun.
