MaG tried to help me find out why I can't get further into the game, after getting the ring from the tomb, and microchip picture. She offered to fix my save game but after trying to look at my save she realized, she has win xp and I have vista.

By any chance does anyone playing the game have a save game after you finished in the decoding the two letters, finished in Jano's room? All blood anomoly stuff done.

I need the save When you know your who your enemies are and the next step would be Luana will give me the information.

XP saves will not work I need a Vista save so if any member of the Boomer family can help me I sure would appreciate it. Otherwise I have to replay a save game again, and I don't want to redo all of it if I don't have to do so.

Thanks in advance
Sherryah

Just wondering when you put the garlic in the empty box and read the paper under the garlic did the preacher say anything when he opened the door. He should have said I need help.
Richard

yes if I remember right he did that after he shut the door to the inn going outside right?

Kjos do you have vista? Even though I have gone over Janos room several times at least 4 times, and have the 2 decoded documents it still has the option to search Janos room. I really feel I got everything out of there. lighter, read everything in drawer, got Janos passport in documents, did decoder stuff two separate times one for august and one for Sept. What could I not have done?

the other thing option says
know your enemies

I did the dark room stuff got the microchip photo of mountain with symbols, re checked my inventory looking at everything.

got bloody shawl and for boredom sake called the inspector 3 times for fun he says 3 different things. Really an ememy of mine. LOL

No When he opened his bedroom door going out in the hallway. I'm running XP. Otherwise I could send you a save. Sorry
Richard
I will go back and replay it to make sure.
Here is what he said just before going out into the hallway.
I've learened many things,but I'm still unsure of how to approach the enemy. I have a feeling I won't manage without help

Thanks Richard. I know someone will have the answer for me. I may have to just replay a save again. I will only do this as a last resort.

Just a thought - have you played the wax cylinder already on the gramophone?

MaG I think it has something to do with not reading the four pages under the garlic. I think she has allready got the slingshot from the boy.
Richard

Sherryah, Did you look at the blood of the Dragon paper on Jano's desk. Cuz I had a problem where it would not cross off search Jano's room and I went back in there and realized that there were another document under one that I had picked up first. Go and see if thats the problem Good Luck Trisha

I just finished! Thanks to you MaG. Where I went wrong was in never examining the letter on the light box and getting the dot. All that equipment and solutions had to be there for a reason. After that everything fell into place. I would still like to know the solution for the Anthology puzzle if anyone ever gets that but it is not necessary to finish the game.
Thanks again.

hmm there is 4 pages on the garlic? Don't remember reading anything on garlic except a gift from the dead woman. how do I get the info on the garlic?

going back to try it again.

Yes I read everything in Jano's desk but will go back and try again. I also took the lighter, and did 2 decoding of letters separate times. Why would it still tell me Jano's room isn't done? Going back again to make sure I really looked good in that desk.

Yes I played both cylinders and gave the one with the music away to the Boy.

Thanks so much all of you for your suggestions, I am desperate and going back to try again all your suggestions.

If anyone else has suggestions please let me know. Really trying not to have to replay a save I will consider that a form of defeat trying to figure out where I messed up is a challenge in itself.

options now say
know your enemies and your friends

I can't seem to do the blue light in the cave. My hands aren't very good and nothing seems to work. I have tried many things even holding it down, but nothing helps. I can see a tiny blue line but that's all. What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a save? I use Windows xp. Thanks. Vicki

MaG walkthru is posted

Thanks, MaG. Just like to know the answer and see why I can't figure it out. Love this game. Very well made and interesting.

graygamer - I will see what I can do to get the solution. Might take time.

Sherryah - Wonderful. Glad you got through with the help given. BTW - please use the edit button so that you don't stack postings. That lil bit of help is appreciated.

Richard - and for the help.

Chief -

birddog - - It is a wonderful game - glad that you finished.

Vicki - How are you doing on the blue light puzzle? I sent you a saved game.

And a back at you MaG.

And may I also say to all the members who participated and helped, a big thank you.


Chief

Sorry,to say I need your help again. I at the blood, sweat and tears puzzle. I saw your screenshot on the walkthru but must have messed it up. Is there suppose to be a gap between the 3 of them?

It would have been great if they had made them different colors like in MaG's walkthru, is everything suppose to be the same color? its all the same color blue for me.

How do I restart the puzzle?

Backing in and out only gives me what I have already done. Thanks again for all of your help.

Sherryah

No gap. Same color for all.

If I remember correctly I just closed all the gates to start over.
I have a feeling that you made a mistake in opening-closing gates. You might close all the gates and start over and do one color at a time only.

Sherryah, to "restart the puzzle", close the little turning doors between squares and start over.

Do exactly what you see on MaG's WT and you will get it done.

Chief

Edit: sometime you may think that two square are link. But check the little turning doors.

Thanks both of you big hugs from Ireland.

graygamer,

The Runic Anthology solution is now added to the walkthrough.
It is placed after the library puzzle in Budapest.
This is thanks to Benoit.

Thanks, MaG.
