I remember the vase not being ready right away. I went away and did one or two other things, and when I came back it was ready.

Guess I'll go do the dishes!

I should clarify what I just said - I meant that I went away and did one or two things in the game, and after that the vase was ready. I think it's kind of "a watched pot never boils" syndrome with this one. I don't remember if I just wandered around and then returned after a bit, or if I solved another puzzle or talked to a character, though.

LOL! I realized that after I wrote that! Then it sunk in! Ha Ha! Well, I left the museum and went back in and that did it! Thank you!

Have fun.

I went through the double doors but now I'm stuck in some water world or something. There is no boat or anyway to get across the river.

The boat is always on the dock of the River Acheron. That is the only water that I know of in the game.

After you go through the blue double doors - there is stairs ahead of you and another set of doors at far right.
You're aim here is to look around at the underground.
Climb the stairs and see.

Did you go back to where you were after completing the 3 step puzzle on the Cerberus (3 headed dog) status? If so, Charon should be there.

The only other place below ground that I can figure is near water is just a pond in Tartarus (the land behind the red door on the other side of the stairs near the double doors)

I finished the Greek letter panel and opened the tunnel back to the museum. I went outside and looked at the back of the poster. I tried calling Melina for the authenication password but she won't talk to me. Help please?

It sounds like there is something else you need to do first. What is on your task list at present?

There is no boat there. And I don't have a remote for the lift.
So if I could get across the river I still have no way to get out.

Tasks left to do;

-Find a way to cross river of fire

-Trigger keypad in Tartarus

-Figure out what is in three judges trunk

-Prove provenance on requested museum items

I got the password! I hadn't finished with the provenance task. There was something not right. Nancy said to call Melina. I did and I got the password. Now I can continue! Thanks for your time Marian! I have played all 31 games and by now I should know how to find my mistakes.

Great, Penny Lane.

Stonzee, I think the walkthrough will benefit your gameplay better. That way you can get the gist of the story also.
If you still do not want the walkthrough - have you checked the hydraulics room cabinet?
The code for that is found in Xenia's production script.
Be sure that you read everything also. Good luck.

That's great that you figured it out.

I've played all 31 games too.

Yes I have checked the cabinet. I had the remote but Thanos took it from me.

I have followed Niobe through the hidden door, and come to the workshop, trouble is when I go in and the alarm sounds I do not get time to deactivate it, before I die, I can escape through the blue doors but can't do anything because Thanos has taken the remote. Now given my record I have definitely forgotten something but I have gone through the w/t and cannot figure what, I was hoping someone would have an ide before I go back and replay a large chunk of the game.

Have you found a piece of paper yet that gives you instructions on how to deactivate the alarm?

Ah.............. I thought I had but when I checked my inventory it wasn't there, will go back and find it. thank you so much

No correction I do have the workshop notes, so that is not the problem, any other ideas

Monbron,
Wonder if you called Melina and she asks you to watch Niobe already?

Stonzee,
It looks like you have a lot of things to finish yet.
Have you finished all what Melina asked on the letter as well as on the phone?
Have you talked to Xenia and Grigor again?
Have you checked their tablet?

Yes I have done all that Melina asked in her letter and on the phone.
I can't talk to Xenia or Grigor. They won't say anything.
I have checked the tablet and there is nothing new on it.

What is there in the to do list?
Finish provenance, tracings?

I cannot click on the panel beside the fire door. I am assuming it's the seeds puzzle? The panel won't highlight. Nancy is supposed to say that she needs to find the seeds. I've got the seed note. But nothing is happening. As is usual for me I'm probably missing something!

You won't be able to solve this puzzle until you find the missing seeds. I would focus on other tasks for now.

Ok! Thanks!

Aha! Guess what? I was at the wrong door! I'm now where I an supposed to be! SHEESH!
