Title: 5 Days A Stranger-Day 3
Post by: on Sat 27/09/2003 02:35:51
I have the spell book and have conducted the whole teddy bear on stick with salt over the boys bed voodoo stuff. By my calculation the boy should be located in the front room where the stairs are on the first floor. Or I am wrong. I don't know what else to do!!! I went through the rest of the house. I am missing something. Hints please?

Just incase people don't know the solution

You use the teddy and extension cord on the twig from the garden, dip this in the salt, then wave it over matthews bed. Go to the kitchen and look at it, it'll stop working, use the pickaxe on the wall. Then keep searching the basement, and then use the ground when u find it.

To get the white speel book just look in all the different sections on the bookcase, and he'll say when he sees the book, then just use the hand on that same area of books (i think its the area on the right with the black books where some are toppled over)

Hi...I can't use the axe on the wall for some reason?  Am I missing something?  The bear led me straight to the kitchen and now I can't do anything. :-\

it doesn't matter if we told you because you can't do anything with that patch of floor till you find it in the game.

Spoiler

just go in the basement Use the thing and if it tells you to move west go there .. la la... And when it says 'Its not working ro its pointing down' or wateva, that area of the floor should become interatable (Hover over it and it will say 'floor or something' And dig it up!

The Boy is in the dungeon, to get to it, use the pickaxe on the kitchen wall after looking at the map. ( in day five, the welder can kill you, pull the rug out so he falls in the Bathroom)
Title: Re: 5 Days A Stranger-Day 3

Spoiler
get the black magic book from the library, then build the welder detector out of the scissors, the apron, the mask, and the machete. his body is in the bathroom. pick it up, take it to the trophy room, lay it down, destroy the welder detector and clothe the body. give simone the rifle and jim the teddy.

Hi!
I love this game but I too am stuck in the basement. I have read evrything, looked at and talked to every one (following the w/thru) and I can't get our little burgler to pick at the "area" he just won't!
Is it me or do I just keep clicking for days?
I have reloaded and started over and everything else I could think of.
Lost lost.
Thanks!!! :-\

If you are stuck in the basement don't despair.  I went around in circles for a few days before someone helped me out.  If I remember correctly, use the 'stick' and point it to the floor.  It is somewhere not too far from the right wall.   :)

The game is a bit tricky in a few parts, and after getting desperately stuck a couple of times, I had to refer to a walkthrough and managed to finish the game okay.
Links to a couple different "5 Days a Stranger" walkthroughs that may help:

That isn't a bug. Your supose to dig with your hands and not with a tool. This is a mistake in the walkthrugh.

If you are in the kitchen, you smash the wall to the left.

If you are in the basement, it's the floor, not the wall. :)

Brett, as far as I know, you must read the map of the property before Trilby will even know to break through the wall.

Wow, just finished it and the sequel, what an awesome game, I liked the ending of the first one better, the second one felt a bit anti-climatic.
