Is there any rule stating that someone should wait at least 120 minutes after a game release, before ask for H&T? :=

Notice the inscription on the statue? You can't read it because it's in Greek, but if you copy it on your notepad, maybe someone else can...

I'm a bit stuck at the moment, I've

Did you go to the location of the sea people's lair? If I recall correctly, doing so will end the day.

How do I get a scale from the siren's pond (I already figured out how to get past her song)? I know I need to use the mesh with something, but what?

I'm going to kick myself, but I can't get anything at all done in the airport: no-one wants to talk to me and I can only find 3 rooms to walk around in.

Ouch, I keep dying

how do I get the monster with the trident? I've tried having it ready after having Alica distract it, but it's hard to get the monster, it's fast and I can't seem to get the trident out before it grabs me.

Have you tried walking outside?

But where is the exit?

Eva,

Spoiler

As far as I know, it's just a matter of reflexes. Try moving your cursor to the top of the screen while Alice is distracting the monster (cutscene). That way you can click the inventory icon as soon as it becomes available. Alternately try using [TAB] to open the inventory.

I finished the game one point short though, so perhaps there's a better way to do it.

Just keep walking left and you'll come to the exit doors.

I can't for the life of me figure out how to block out the siren music. I keep thinking I need to do something with the dough, KQ3 style, but nothing works.

Ledz:

You're right, and this also had me stumped for a couple of minutes since I knew exactly what I intended to do but couldn't figure out how. You have to click the hand icon on the dough in the inventory before you can use it.

That glint is essential.....and I got lucky with the guessing :)

GG, you've been a good help to me and others and I believe it's possible to beat the fight (you obviously succeded) - I'll try more tomorrow.

I've got the inscription from oracle island and I have it translated. I have absolutley no idea what I do now. I've also distilled the water, but that has done essentially nothing for me. What do I do until I meet the professor for lunch?

@Pink Cloud:

I can't find the glint in the cave. I'm pathetic. I have brightness and contrast turned up ALL THE WAY and I still can't see it. This is hurting my head.

I'm dumb - sorry about the incident that happened in my previous post... I guess I didn't know the real command for it.

Don't worry Mike, it's not much of a spoiler. The proper use is [spoiler]Spoilerish text here[/spoiler].

As for your problem:

If you look at the right frescoe, there should be a shimmer on the nose of the minotaur animating every few seconds

Does the resolution that you're running at have any effect on how some things display? I'm running at 640x480 and I still don't see a glint on the nose of that statue..

Here's a rough walkthrough based on memory only, so it may have small glitches and possibly won't give you full score, but ... It will get you through the game. Though, I recommend you to not play the game using a walkthrough, it's a lot more fun without one!

Spoiler

In the airport: Go outside and talk to the taxi driver. Go back and talk to the lady in the first room. You have to find a tourist with a camera. He's in the restaurant. Talk with him. Offer to take his picture. By moving him first forward, then right, then back, he will step into the restricted area, and the camera is yours. Give it to the lady, she will tell you about the sea people and you can tell the taxi driver where to go.

The next day: Find a mirror in the bathroom and a bottle of suntan lotion in the closet. Talk to everybody in the village; restaurant owner will give you a piece of pizza dough. On camping site, pick a pink flower. In the bar, talk to the professor. This will grant you access to talk to the old fisherman on the left edge of the beach. Go talk to him, and on the way there, pick up the metal bar. He will ask for a bottle of Ouzo. Go back to the bar. Look at the ouzo. Ask the men about it. Talk to the restaurant owner, and go back and talk to the men in the bar. Before agreeing to a drinking contest (if it's possible to do so that early, maybe you have to lose the contest once first, I haven't tried), hang your mirror on the wall in the bar. This will make you win the contest (go back to the bungalow and ask Simon to help you to start the contest). Bring ouzo to the fisherman, and he will take you out on his ship, but first, take the empty cup he offers you.

On ship: Take hook and chain, fill cup with sea water, go below deck and take the sawfish snout over the door, distill sea water on still. Go up again, talk to the door, ask captain to chart a course to Oracle Island. On the island, pick a white flower outside the cave. Use sawfish snout to cut the metal bar, and use the crank you just made on the machine standing outside the cave. Put the chain on the machine, put the hook on the chain, pick up the hook again, and use the hook on the boulder. Use the machine to open cave. Go inside cave, find statue, read the inscription on the bottom of the statue, and use the notepad on it to copy it. Go back to the boat. Call for the captain, show him the note. He will translate it for you. Go back to the island, pour water on the statue, and the oracle will appear. Talk to the oracle, go back to the boat, and ask the captain to take you to Minotaur Island. Walking left in the intersection will take you to a cave. Pick a yellow flower outside the cave. Use suntan lotion on cave opening to fit through. Look closely at the fresco of the minotaur, and you will see a glins in the nose area. Use this glins (takes precision and timing to get right, but is not too hard), and you have a key. Go outside again and go right, and unlock the labyrinth door. Navigating the labyrinth is pretty easy, I think there's a map somewhere earlier in this thread if you need it. You will find a pile of junk, search it and you find a cogwheel. You will find a minotaur skeleton, pick up the loose horn. When you find a strange mechanism, put the cog there and then use the minotaur horn as a lever. You will hear stone moving somewhere in the cave. Seek it out, and you find a door has started to open. Use the minotaur horn to get it all the way open. Use your notepad to copy the mosaic on the wall. Go back to ship. Show this map to the captain, he will take you to the Sea People's lair. As you can't go down there, this endeth the day. Argue with Simon. Go to the restaurant, talk to the professor about anything (I'm not sure whether which arguments you pick have anything to say, I haven't really experiented much, although I got a full score on the first try, so I'm guessing this conversation does not have much to say for it). Go back, watch Alice's conversation outside the bungalow, go inside and go to bed.

Day two: Talk to Alice, when Simon comes, go to crime scene with him. Go to fisherman's house, take the mesh. After talking to the fisherman, go out on the boat again, sail to Oracle Island, and summon the oracle again. She will tell you to bring her an iris and a siren scale. The captain will take you to Siren Island. When you get there, use hand on pizza dough to split it in two and then use it on yourself to block your ears for siren song. On the way to the siren, pick up a stick. Combine stick and mesh to get a net. Use net on siren's pond, and you have a scale. Go back to the main land, to the bar, and give your flowers to the flower lady there, who will identify them for you. You can now go back to Oracle Island, summon the oracle, and give her the ingredients. Go back to the bungalow. This endeth the day.

Day three: Sail to Oracle Island, get potion, sail to Sea People's lair, drink potion, and off you go for a swim. Pick up glowing seaweed, use net to pick up octopus, use octopus on the door in the cave (southeast of start location). Pick up a rock. Go to the King's palace. Combinde seaweed with rock, use glowing rock on skeleton, hear the king out. Take the trident.

When monster attacks: You have to hurry here. Ask Alice to distract monster. Use trident on monster. And congratulations, you've won the game.

[close]

I may have left something out, as this was a mere reconstruction of how I remember to have played the game, but I hope it helps. Apologies for my lousy English.

And don't forget; always talk to everybody about everything.

I've got a serious problem though.

Spoiler

Not sure which restaurant you mean, as I have used the word about two different locations. But in the airport, what I seem to remember was a cafeteria or a restaurant is the place you see in the back in the first room to the left of the start room. There is no door, just go backwards into the screen to enter the restaurant. When you see an American tourist in an ugly shirt, you're there. In the village, the restaurant is in the screen right of the beach -- the leftmost door.

And what works in hockey has to work in adventure gaming, right? :-)

Huh, I killed the monster on the first try. Not sure what I did right, but two small things helped me a lot, I think:

- Go to the inventory and hurrily select the trident BEFORE talking to Alice, so that you easily can pick it out with a few right clicks afterwards.
- Get the cursor into the approximately right position while Alice distracts the monster.

I need help now getting the ingredients for the potion:

1) How do I reach the scales in the pond?  I assume I need to use the mesh cos it said it was a good idea but it's still too deep for it to reach.
2) How do I get the Iris?

Nostradamus,
first questions

Spoiler

you need a branch. Use it on the mesh.

[close]

second question

Spoiler

You can pick up flowers from three different places, with three different colours. Somebody has to identify them. When you have the flowers, go back to the bar and use them on the lady that sells flowers. She appears only when you have been asked to bring the iris for the potion.

[close]

Thanks, but you have answered me absoloutely nothing.

I said before, I'm not looking for hints but for straight answers.Unforutnately your hints didn't help me at all. I need to know where that branch is and where is the IRIS, I said I needed the Iris, not the other 2 flowers which I already have (death flowers white & yellow)l.

Please provide direct answers, not hints.

Pick up the branch in the previous screen on the Siren island. It's on the bushes in the middle of the screen. Use it on the mesh and then use the net on the pond.

Okay, I can't remember exactly where all 3 flowers are and which one is which.
1) There are the flowers next to the campsite south of the bungalow.
2) There are flowers on the Oracle island (I think) in one of the outside screens.
3) I think the last flowers MIGHT be on the Minotaur island in the room with the fork in the path.

Sorry if I got it wrong. I can't remember since it's been awhile.

Direct answer:

Spoiler

Iris is on the bush between the camp sign and the pay phone.
Then go to the bar where the drinking contest was and show the flower to the lady there.

thanks jburger and ciborium.

Now I'm in the sea people lair but I can't use anything on the rock. What do I do here?
(I took the glowing bright plant)

Hint version:

Spoiler

Look at the center of the rock.
Didn't the captain tell you something that might be hidden well under the sea, that also has eight "points?"

[close]

Direct instructions:

Spoiler

In the screen outside of the cave, there is a octopus hidden on the rock on the left. It is very hard to see. I kinda looks like a lump on the rock. Use the octopus on the mark in the rock in the cave.

I'm stuck in the first island, with the boulder with the hole at the center, and with the strange mechanism. I can't put the crowbar inside no matter what i do.

Spoiler

look around boat for something to cut it with..... Also you will need something(2 things)  to attach to the boulder and machine to get that open........ Look in your inventory.

Yay! one of the few games I finished without checking the help section >glee!<

I ended short 1 point though. Anyone know why?

Spoiler

I never used the yellow or white flowers (although I did identify them) and I never got to flick the light switch in the bungalow. Was I supposed to do anything with the other flowers or light switch??.

[close]

Kurisutsure: I didn't do any of those things either, and I somehow got a full score.

This is an untested theory, but I guess it COULD have something to do with

Spoiler

which answers you give the professor in the restaurant.

[close]

Though, that's just a theory.

Thanks Olafmoriarty, I wouldn't be surprised if that were true. I think I answered a little... conceitedly, so I probably deserved one point less :P

There is no variation depending on the answers you give Professor Sanbourne.

The point that's easy to miss is

Spoiler

Talking to Simon, Alice, and Professor Sanbourne about Sirens after learning about them from the Oracle.

[close]

See, I could've replayed the game six times and still missed that.

Slightly off-topic (apologies to the mods for the noise) but do you need to understand any of the Greek at any time? I understand Greek, and I'm just wondering whether this means I'll be at an unfair advantage. I've only got as far as

Spoiler

going to the fisherman's house for the first time

[close]

but maybe later on in the game there's a puzzle where you need get something translated into English and knowing what it means already might spoil the game in some way.

EDIT: I've just finished the game and it's fine - it didn't make any difference in the end.

Edit: solved  :)

can anyone tell me if I must use something on the fire of the campsite where the 2 turists are in the bich before they dissapear?? thanks a lot

 tekila

from wot i can remember

Spoiler

u just leave them. u cant talk to them so i think u just do the other things u need to do and when u come back they r gone

Here's a complete walkthrough :


ATHENS AIRPORT



After watching the Intro and talking to your friends at the Airport, it is decided that you must find some transportation to go to Athens.

You can have a look at the cabinet, the sign and the door.



The large woman is not in the mood to talk when you use the “Talking Icon” with the “!” but if you use the “Talking Icon” with the “?”,  she will say more.



Go left past the sign and talk to the man. See also another official-looking white door and a restricted area on the floor.



Walk in the Kalimera Café and at the booth, talk to the Tourist. Nothing special, but remember him.  Leave the Café.



Walk to the left of the white door and be in front of the Exit doors. Nothing from the woman that is there.



Exit the building: see a taxi and the taxi driver. He is not very receptive, but talk to him anyway: he will not go to Athens.



Go back to the large woman and talk to her about going to Athens. She will help you if you get her soul back: someone took her picture.



Back to the Café and the tourist in the booth. Talk to him. He took the picture of the lady.

He agrees that you take his picture.

You are now out of the Café with his camera: make him move to be in the restricted area: forward a few times, right a few times and back a few times also.  You get what you want: he is arrested and you can keep the camera.



Back to the large woman and give her the camera so she can get her soul back.

She talks about the Sea People because she heard that Ben is a paranormal investigator.

Ben must go to Agia Anna and the taxi driver will take them there.



Go left twice to be at the Exit doors and talk to the taxi driver: he will take you to Agia Anna.



AGIA ANNA



After the cut scene, time to look around and find out about the Sea People.

From outside your bungalow, see and read the plaque.



Go right screen to see signs, a payphone, a building and a plant. Take the pink flower.



Back pass the bungalow and forward to the beach.



At the beach, go right screen to be at a village. Read the sign on the building with the blue roof: Tom's Pizza. Go in and talk to the woman Cassandra. Talk about the Sea People: bad omen. She offers a lump of dough. You now have dough  in your inventory.

Walk out going down screen.



Enter the next yellow building: a bar. Talk to the old man. He is Professor Sanbourne, a paranormal investigator. He is there for the Sea People. He had a talk with a fisherman.

Ben and him will meet at Tom's Pizza at height.



So, go back to the beach and walk left to see a house and a boat.

Pick up the metal bar  as you walk to the house.  Have a look at the blue box with a mesh. Remember that.



Knock on the door.  Talk to the fisherman and he asks you to come in. Talk to him completely. In exchange for a bottle of Ouzo, he will talk about hiring the boat.

Use the hand icon on the door to exit.



Go down screen twice, past the entry to go to the bungalow and right to the village.

Go to the bar and talk to the two guys. See the bottle on the table.



To get a bottle for yourself, go to Tom's Pizza and talk to the woman: she sold the last bottle to the two guys.



Back to the bar and the two guys to talk about the bottle of Ouzo. For the bottle, they offer a drinking contest.



Go back to the bungalow and pick up a mirror in the bathroom. Open the dresser to find a bottle of Suntan Lotion.  Do not talk to Simon now.



Back to the bar and see a nail on the wall beside the flag: hang up the mirror.

Now go back to talk to Simon and about the contest and meet the two guys at the bar: they explain the contest. You must guess correctly six time the number of finger(s) he will hide behind his friend's head. Look in the mirror to see how many finger(s) he holds.



And get the bottle of Ouzo.



Time to go back to the fisherman and to give him the bottle. Ask him if you can take the red cup. Talk to him about hiring the boat.  Read about the Sea People.





THE BOAT



You are now on the boat. Take the hook and the chain.  Go down the hatch using the hand icon. See a sawfish snout. Use the metal bar on it to get the sawfish snout.

Have a look around and come back up the ladder.



“Talk to the Doorway” using the Talk (!) icon and the fisherman will come out. Talk to him and set a course for  Oracle Island.



ORACLE ISLAND



In the next scene, you are on the shore of the island. Go right and see a device: a crank is missing. See also some flowers: pick one up.  See a big boulder.



Try to slide the metal bar in the hole of the device: the bar is too long. In inventory, cut the metal bar with the sawfish snout to get a cut bar. Use the cut bar on the device: you have a crank but it is missing something when you turn it. Use the chain on the device.

Use the crank again: the chain rolls up but not much else happens. Now use the hook on the chain. Click on the chain to pick up the hook and attach it to the gap in the rock: turn the crank: the boulder falls down on the device.



Walk into the cave and forward to a statue depicting three women. See a small inscription in Greek at the base of the statue: click your note pad from inventory on it to get a note.



THE BOAT



Go back to the boat with the dinghy and ask the fisherman what the inscription means by clicking the note  on him:

“And those who can quench the thirst for knowledge may summon the Oracle”



Now use the red cup on the sea to get some water. Go down the hatch and to the still. Use the salt water (red cup) on the still to get distilled fresh water.



Back up to ask the fisherman to go back to the island.



ORACLE ISLAND



Once on the island, go to the statue in the cave and use the fresh water on the statue.



Meet the Oracle and talk to her: what about that Vanishing Island? You will know about the location of the Sea People. Things have been taken.

 

THE BOAT



Back to the boat to talk with the fisherman about the Vanishing Island and the Minotaur.

Ask him to go to the Island of the Minotaur.



ISLAND OF THE MINOTAUR



Walk first to the left and be at an intersection. See a Dais on the left on the ground.

Take the left path and see an opening on the rock and a bush.



Pick up a yellow flower  from the bush.



Try to go through the opening, but it is too narrow.  Use the suntan lotion on the edges of the cave opening and enter.



You are now in a cave. See two fresco, a box and a hole.

On the fresco on the right, see a glint and find a key using the hand icon.



Now examine the open box: nothing.



Go back outside using the hand icon. At the intersection, continue to walk the path and see doors with a padlock. Let's try the key on the doors: the doors open. Walk in.



You are now in the Minotaur Labyrinth:



*go forward 2x

*go right and see some rubble on the ground in the right corner: using the hand icon, find a small cog

*go through the opening in the center of the screen and forward to be in a room with a skeleton, a horn and a skull. Pick up the horn

*back down screen

*go to the left opening and go forward 3x passing some frescos on the way

*go to the opening in center screen and see a mechanism and a stone plate. Take the cog from inventory and place it on the mechanism and use the horn on the stone plate: hear a sound

*back down screen 2x

*go right screen and see a small opening at the bottom of the wall. But the opening is too small. You need help: use the horn on the opening and a door opens.  Walk in the opening and see a mosaic in the alcove: the location of the Sea People Underwater Lair. Use your note pad on the mosaic to get a map

*go out going left and then right

*go down screen 3x to be outside.



Go back to the boat by going down the path at the intersection.



THE BOAT



Show the map to the fisherman and talk to him again so he can take you to the Lair of the Sea People.



You are now in the middle of the sea.

How can you dive without equipment?



Go back to…..



AGIA ANNA



Talk with Simon at the beach.  See some campers.

Go and meet Professor Sanbourne. First sit down at the table and talk with him.

After dinner, walk back to the bungalow and see Alice talking with the Greek guy and going to the dance.

Go to the bungalow and go to bed. See a cut scene. A dream.



In the morning, talk to Alice. Simon comes in and ask to follow him to the beach to see the Professor and some traces on the sand.



Still needing a diving equipment to go to the Lair of the Sea People.



Go to the bar and meet an old woman with a basket of flowers. Talk to her and show her the flowers you have. The pink one is an Iris.



Go to Tom's Pizza and talk about the missing campers.

Talk to your friends again at the beach.



Go to the fisherman's house. Pick up the mesh from the blue box.

Go in and talk to him: maybe you could ask the Oracle about the underwater diving.



So, let's go to……



ORACLE ISLAND



Enter the cave, use the water on the statue and talk to the Oracle about the Sea People's Lair. She talks about a potion to breathe under water.

But you must bring an Iris flower and a scale of Siren to get the potion.



Back to the boat to talk about the Siren and to go to…..



SIREN ISLAND



When you get there, you hear some singing.



It is a good time to put the pieces of dough into your ears, after using the hand on the dough in inventory to get two pieces.  ( To separate the dough, use the hand icon found at the bottom of the inventory and then the white arrow to take the two pieces)



Walk the path and see a stick on the right side of the path in front of a big dark branch.

Pick up the stick.



Walk more and see the siren. In the pond, you see scales. Try to take a scale, but the water is deep.



In inventory, combine the stick and the mesh to get a net and use it in the pond to get a scale.



Back down screen and then the path to go back to the boat: ask to go to….



ORACLE ISLAND



Summon the Oracle.

Give the Iris flower (the pink flower) and Siren scale to the Oracle. The potion will be ready tomorrow.





AGIA ANNA AND THE BOAT



Go to the bungalow and talk with your friends. Both will go with you.



See a cut scene with Ben and Alice. A dream.



They are now on the boat. Talk to your friends again and go to Oracle Island to get the potion.



And go to……..



LAIR OF THE SEA PEOPLE



Take the potion by clicking it on Ben and in the water he goes.



See a bright sea plant on the right. Take the glowing weed.



Swim to the right and see an octopus at your left on the rock.  Take the octopus  with the net.



Then swim down screen to a cavern with paintings on the walls. Look at them.



Look at the rock and the strange circle. Put the octopus on it and see an opening.



Go in to another cavern. See rocks. Pick up a small rock.



Swim left and see the City: it feels….dead.



Go to the large structure and see a skeleton sitting on a throne. See a seal on the floor. Study the painting on the wall.



In inventory, wrap the glowing piece of seaweed around the rock and get a glowing rock.

Put that in the skeleton's mouth. It wakes up and talks to you about history.



***Save before taking the trident***



Take the trident that will be useful tonight when the monster comes.



Go back to the boat and more talking.  Go to……



AGIA ANNA



Back at the beach with your friends.



The monster comes up from the sea and attacks Simon. Ask Alice to distract the monster.



You have a short time after Alice walks behind Ben to pick up the trident and to click it on the monster. See Ben throwing the trident at the monster.



(Put the cursor often to inventory when Alice walks behind Ben and pick the trident as soon as you can to be fast enough)



More talking to end the game.
