Thanks! But unfortunately -- I still don't have the key in my inventory even after replaying the Alice crypt sequence and talking to Percy at the hotel. Maybe I haven't met another specific condition?

Check out the drain by Rue Commines hotel. You have to utilize some kind of tool you used earlier in Sacré Coeur...

[close]

and those who are in pursuit of the "secret ending", why don't we share our own progress?

Spoiler

If you look into the relief above the Notre-date cathedral door, you may notice some carved people in some sort of "holy dog pile". This could be a significant hint, yet my all attempts to use the dog-head shaped key on it have been failed. Besides, I couldn't find any fittable keyhole for it throughout the whole game. Is it really a key to open something? In my guess it could be a part to assemble something.

and just my wish,

Spoiler

I hope the secret ending reveals the truth, like some detailed stories about poor Antonia (maybe the little girl with black pussy shown at the bombing cutscene?) and Genovese's penitence for what he has done. Of course, it might not go well as I excpect to be. It could also be some funny one related to a dog. Anyway, I just can't wait to see the last, tempting ending.

@verlaine83:
I didn't get it magically, myself:

Spoiler

I fished it out of the drain outside the hotel in Paris, using the unwound coat hanger ...still can't find anything to do with it, however - and the only reference to dogs I've seen is the dog pile Ben describes when looking at the topmost carving on the door to Notre Dame.

The Hero, I'm not sure which part of the problem you were asking hints for in your earlier post, but just in case you need the latter half, here it is:

Spoiler

To get inside the old lady's house, first you need to knock on the door with the piece of wood (you don't really need the brambles yet) just like fatmike006 told in the previous post. Then, when she opens the door and won't let you in, you need to block the door with your hand so she can't get it shut.

To all you people having trouble with the secret ending: I still haven't figured it out, either, but here are some random thoughts I had on it. Some are quite far-fetched, as I'm getting pretty desperate here. At least this hopefully saves someone else the trouble of trying out these silly ideas.

Spoiler

So, I just finished re-playing the whole game with the commentary on, and as entertaining as it was, it really didn't offer much clues as to what the secret ending could be. One small detail that caught my the eye second time around was the AGW graffiti outside Madame Tilly's shop. The statues in the Sacre Coeur crypt were A, D and G, so I was hoping I might simply find there something with W to end the sequence with, and maybe reveal something where the dog-headed key fits, but eventually I found nothing. I also tried A, G and S (Sacre Coeur itself) for AGS, but that didn't work out either. As I said before, this is getting pretty far-fetched.

I also found it quite strange in the flash-backs that the local butcher's family can afford a fancy crypt, but I couldn't figure out anything new in Arthur & Percy's adventures. What keeps bugging me most is the underlined name Butacu in the tree that can also be found at the graveyard, but maybe it really doesn't mean anything.

I also tried figuring out the dog-pile mural, but didn't really get anywhere with that. If it's not a red herring, I guess there's something we need to find before going to Notre Dame to do anything with it.

I think Grundislav really enjoys himself while reading this forum. I hope you're happy man, you just woke up the nerds in us )

[reem]

I just figured out the secret ending!!! You can totally ignore my previous post. I don't want to spoil it for you guys, so here are some hints:

Spoiler

Look really carefully at the tree in the village, the one with the carvings.

See a familiar looking dog in the upper left corner?

So, just go to the second intersection and walk from there.

And yes, thank you Grundislav for waking up the nerd in all of us, because the real reason figured it out was:

Spoiler

I reloaded back to the tree to check if that mysterious phrase was Romanian for "My hovercraft is full of eels" and noticed the dog by accident. And, yes, in case if you are wondering, it really was the hovercraft phrase.

[close]

Thank you once again Grundislav for a great game and a great series!

[thepr]

Wait, the secret ending is THAT? All that work just for... oh, man! I was really hoping for something else... anyway, thanks for a great game, Grundi!

What do you do, exactly, with the soggy brochure? The assh-erm, reporter-type guy in the pub won't take it from Ben.

Oh...so that's the secret ending? Thanks for tips

Stuck at the car chase. 

Spoiler

I keep on throwing the kids magazine at the knight's car but it just blows away.  Am I just suppose to keep doing that repeatedly or is there more to it?
