egg: enter the room with the window that looks on the boat (the one with the cloaths on the string). Climb over the roof to the other side, two screens to the right and enter the storage room. The plum is on the tree in front of the storage room. Throw the egg.

take the flower pot (the small one, not the vase), walk around until you can look down onto the vase from a level above and drop flower pot. This breaks the vase and you can take a key. Unlock the door that has a keyhole on top of it. To unlock it you must walk around until you can reach the keyhole, that is, the door must be lying flat in the ground. Walk around again until you are standing in front of this door and open it.

the telescope will be important later in the game. You can't enter the house of Lady Loubert (or whatever her name is). Go back to the hotel room, look under the desk and pick up the bracelet. Turn on the TV and listen to the news. You should now be able to use the taxi. Go to the monastery. It is not so easy to enter there, you will need some disguise to explore the area thoroughly. There are quite a few involved puzzles. And most important: save the game before using the boat, from or to the island (one save game each)!

how do I get past the policeman?
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 06/12/2006 05:30:53
You do not belong there, so
Spoiler

go into the building in the background, steal a robe, go back to the screen where the boat is and go behind the tree. Put on the robe. Now you look like one of them and you can explore the area except for the dead monks cell. After the sightseeing tour in the abbey you must get rid of the police men. You will find all things that you need to distract him in the abbey, but there are also quite a few things to do. Two hints: you can climb the roof, you must feed  the cow something that disturbs her digestion

there is the window where you left the boat and got the robe, click on the edge of the roof, just above the window, go right (two more screens I think) or so, than you can climb through a hole in the roof.

Thank you so much for trying to help me. I just can't seem to figure this game out. I have not been in the boat because the fisherman won't talk to me. Do I need a robe to talk wilth him, and if so, where is the robe. Like I said there is no building I can acess at Hautecombe.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 06/12/2006 20:57:09
Sorry! I thought you already entered the abbey. Now I remember that there was also a police car and a man blocking the bridge. Save my previous hints for later and...
Spoiler

examine the fisherman, look at his pin on his jacket, take a picture of the pin and process the picture in the hotel room. You will find out that he prefers perch. Buy some perch in the old city of Lyon (find this species at the fishmonger, outside the shop, and click on it). BTW: You also bought the newspaper earlier and read it?

Go back to the fisherman, show him the fish and then go to the next screen and come back. Now you can use the boat. Save often here because some people reported problems when getting to far off the right track with the boat

Hello again!
Just walk behind the tree. I think that Leo will change clothes as soon as he finds some privacy. But it's been a long time since I played this game.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Sun 10/12/2006 08:05:59
Leo cannot go behind the tree any more. How do I change my clothes. I think I need to do this before I can climb the roof right?
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Sun 10/12/2006 08:11:08
Or use the clothes with the tree? Leo has to change the clothes several times, and he cannot climb with the habit on.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Sun 10/12/2006 18:45:24
The problem is I cannot use the robe with the tree because neither his regular clothes or his robe are in inventory...I even scrolled down to make sure that I didn't miss it, but not there.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Sun 10/12/2006 19:16:37
I didn't replay the game yet, so try interacting with the tree or simply going there. As far as I remember I had not much difficulty changing the clothes. Perhaps I play again...
Title: Re: devils shroud 2

Post by: sthomannch on Mon 11/12/2006 17:29:30
Again, walkthrough time. I started again on The Devil's Shroud, part II (not finished yet). To make sure that you missed nothing:

Spoiler

Enter hotel. Examine hotel brochures and take one and look at it in inventory.
Ring bell. Talk to staff, give reservation. Go to hotel room (exit south). Go to
bed and sleep.

Dream: Go left, left, use boat. Enter Escher's house. Take stairs down to get to
a new view, then go up and left, to a new view, to to flower pot (the small one)
and take it. Go back, down and right, to a new view and then stairs down and
immediately up again to balcony (do not leave this view). Use flower pot on vase
(which breaks it) and see the key. Now go to the right, to a new view and get
the key. Go back and down, so you can access the keyhole on "top" of the door
that now is set into the ground. Unlock the door. Go back downstairs, then in
the next view go up and right into the next view, then downstairs to the door
with the keyhole on top of it. Interact with the door, then go left, left and
throught the tunnel and wake up.
[close]

Spoiler

Open suitcase, look into it and take camera and walkman. Switch on TV.  Listen
to the news, switch TV off and leave room and hotel. Go to the right, again to
the right and use the metro. Travel to Vieux Lyon, right, examine wall to the
right of the stairs, go upstairs to the next view, look at everything, nothing
to do here, south to the shops, take (buy) newspaper and read it. Go back north
and then east, upstairs, upstairs, upstairs and then to the left (to the tele-
scope). Read sign, interact with telescope only once! and enjoy the view on the
city of Lyon. You can see several places and also the hotel. Go back to the
church and to the metro. Back to the entrance of the hotel, then talk to the
taxi driver. We will go to the abbey. The police man will stop us. So go left
and talk to the fisherman. Look at the pin on his jacket. Use the camera on the
pin. Go back to the hotel and into the room.
[close]

Spoiler

Look at and pick up bracelet under the desk, examine it. Use computer and start
graphics program. Acquire, use camera from inventory as source, then magnify pin
and use the "look" icon to learn that the fisherman is eager for perch. Exit
program and stop the computer. Go to the shops and find perch, take (buy) it.
Back to the taxi and drive to the abbey again and to the fisherman. Show him the
perch. Leave this spot and come back. The boat is now empty and Leo will free
the perch.
[close]

Spoiler

Use boat and go to the abbey (head for the sandy spot). Enter. Watch the scene,
then enter the door just to the right of the entrance. When Leo looks out of the
window, he can interact with the pulley and take a habit. EXIT and to to the
tree in front of the boat. Use the habit on Leo, he now looks like a monk. Go to
the area behind the guarded house, where the cow is, go in front again, past the
police man and into the church. Examine columns and pictures on columns, then
examine the place where the dead body was found. Leave the church, go back to
the tree and interact with the tree to change clothes. Enter again, through the
door and interact with the drain pipe of the roof to climb roof. Go up and right
and right again and through hole. Get an egg from the shelves, some forage from
the through and feed from the bag. Climb the roof and back again and interact
with the window.
[close]

Spoiler

Interact with the pulley, take habit, interact with the pulley and take the
habit. In inventory, search habits to find a key. Go to the tree and change
clothes again to become a monk. Go to where the cow is and throw egg on plum and
take plum. Put plum in manger, put forage in manger and drop feed in front of
the cow, at the leftmost place! The police officers throusers are now dirty and
we can go into the cell. Look at everything, try to open the drawer, then use
the key on the drawer. Look into drawer and read book, to turn pages interact
with the lower edge and in the middle of the book (where the pages join). Learn
about the bookstall. Leave the scene and interact with the tree and use boat to
get back.
[close]

Spoiler

Go to hotel room and examine suitcase. The length of cloth from Turin has been
stolen, report it to the hotel staff.
[close]

Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Mon 11/12/2006 18:50:38
Okay, I'm back at the hotel and have reported the stolen item to the desk clerk. Not sure what to do next...
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Tue 12/12/2006 05:57:18
next steps are:

Spoiler

Go to hotel room and examine suitcase. The length of cloth from Turin has been
stolen, report it to the hotel staff. Talk to the man in the lobby again. Leo
will ask him about the bookstalls. Then go to the telescope. If you do not have
change ready, go into the church and interact with the wallet on the offering
box. Use the wallet on the telescope, use hand icon on the embankment. Look
through the telescope and search the area. You will see the book stalls and the
street with the shops. Exit and use the hand icon on the hotel. You will see
Giuseppe. He entered the hotel room again to search for the bracelet. Exit and
use the hand icon on the Place Bellecour. Giuseppe is hiding behind the statue.
Time to follow him. Go to the Place Bellcour, save here your game and keep this
savegame for now. Use the looking glass icon on the statue and a short cut
scene will follow.
[close]

Now some arcade game...

Spoiler

For the next sequence, save often. Leo will shadow Giuseppe, but he must be very
careful not to loose him and not to be seen. If Leo complains about being seen
or if he cannot see Giuseppe anymore, you have to load an earlier savegame. I
used two savegames in case I made a mistake just before saving.

When you shadow Giuseppe, you must find a hiding spot in several screens and use
it immediately. But first, go to the Place Bellecour and use the hand icon on
the statue. A cut sequence with hour clock will follow and you cannot interact,
but as soon as you arrive at the old city of Lyon, it is your turn.
[close]

Spoiler

1. screen, stairs at the old city of Lyon: Hide behind the wall left of the
stairs, and when Giuseppe turned around to verify that he was alone, follow him.
To do so, walk up to the wall, use the hand icon on the wall until Leo ducks and
as soon as the hour glass disappears, follow him.

2. screen, Madam Libault. Just follow him, but do not overtake.

3. screen, the stair at the restaurant, walk behind the wall just left of the
restaurant and as soon as Giuseppe turns around, follow him. He will be almost
at the top of this screen, so wait long enough, but then hurry or he will dis-
appear.

4. screen, middle of the stairs, hide at the entrance (black door) left of the
stairs.

5. screen, top of stairs. Hide at the greyed out en-
trance. This was the most difficult spot. I wait a second, then I used the walk
icon to go directly to the entrance. Took me several tries.

6. - 9. screen, front of church, follow him to the subway, go underground, step
into the train, in train go down (south) and sit down behind Father Giuseppe.
Take newspaper from inventory and read it (use it's icon on Leo).
[close]

Spoiler

When the train stops and Father Giuseppe leaves the train, use hand icon on the
door to follow him. Another cut scene. Leo will automatically follow Giuseppe
and listen to a conversation with another monk. When Giuseppe leaves the area,
Leo will automatically hide behind some trees, but when he goes back to the
garden, the monk will have disappeared (you cannot do nothing about it, I think).
[close]

Spoiler

We now go to the bookstalls (remember the note that you found in the cell of the
dead monk?)
[close]

As for the telescope, what do you mean by embankment? Where is that? I can't get the telescope to move where I want it to.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 13/12/2006 16:28:59
That place is at the river, about at the middle of the screen and on the farther side from the telescope. Click on the upper shore where you see some green from the trees.

BTW: You have to use the wallet or insert a coin every time when you arrive at the telescope and want to use it. Try to find other locations (you can either point the telescope to these locations by using the hand icon on the corresponding hotspot or the game will tell you that there is no reason to point the telescope there). If you are out of change you can use the wallet on the offering box in the church that is next to the telescope. If you changed money, use the coin from the inventory on the telescope instead of the wallet.

Post by: desimaui on Thu 14/12/2006 07:44:14
So its aloing the river eh? I clicked all along that river and
no hot spot. Am I clicking on the trees, the river,a building? I knoiw I am lookin for a bookstall but its hard to tell with the graphics where that is
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Thu 14/12/2006 17:38:51
Yes!
Up and a little bit to the right of the telescope is a bridge (the bigger one). Click on
the upper bank, a bit to the left


                                ----- Here --    --------------- ---
                                                 |    |                |  |
                                                 |    |                |  |
                                                 |    |                |  |
                                --------------    --------------- ---

Perhaps you should talk to the man in the hotel again. The hotspot will only be visible when you asked him about the book market and he told you that it is
somewhere at the river.

Before you can ask him, you must have read the notebook in the cell of the dead monk and used the looking glass on the note that mentions the purchase of a book at the embankment.

I have found the bookstall through the telescope but where is Guiseppe? How do I find him.Is he already at the hotel???
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Sat 23/12/2006 07:22:49
Finding Giuseppe
Spoiler

During the game, you should spot Giuseppe in your hotel room twice. Use the telescope to find out that he broke into your room, then point it to the statue that is at the square next to the hotel. If you see Giuseppe hiding behind the socket go down, look at the statue and follow him.

Merry Christmas to you too!

Sorry but I still can't figure out how to spot Guiseppe through the telescope. Everytime I use it I only see the book stall. Can you be more specific on how to find him through the telescope. And can I only buy 1 coin at a time from the altar?
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Sun 24/12/2006 23:04:07
Desimaui!
Only one coin at a time, but this is sufficient. To find Giuseppe: Use the looking glass to find the hotel, east of the bookstalls. You will easily find the square with the statue, the hotel is to the right of it. If you use the hand icon on it, the telescope will point into this direction. Look through the telescope (as long as you don't leave it, one coin works well). Search the hotel and look into the windows. Then point the telescope to the Place Bellecour and see Giuseppe hiding: Behind the statue of Louis XIV on a horse, not the athletic one in the park.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Mon 25/12/2006 04:14:03
Thank you I got it now. Okay, the trouble I am having now is by the restaurant because while he is walking I have the hour glass and so cannot move. Then when I try to move its too late he sees me. Any hints on how to beat this. Did you have trouble at the restaurant area?

PS Merry Christmas to you too and I thank you so much for being so willing to help me. You are tops!!!
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Mon 25/12/2006 21:29:26
Desimaui, read the hints on this page, up where you see "Now some arcade game...". It was also difficult for me and I restored the game several times.

I try to make it more clear about the restaurant: When you enter the scene, go straight to the house that is to the left of the stairs and hide behind the wall, before the hourglass appears. When the hourglass disappears, go up the stairs immediately. You have to act swiftly. I recommend keeping more than one savegame during these scenes. Save when you enter a new scene, but use alternate savegames and also keep one savegame of the scene at the statue, before you shadow Giuseppe, just in case everything fails.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Tue 26/12/2006 06:07:04
Okay, It was tough but I made it through. I rode the train hiding behind the newspaper and have overheard the conversation between the two monks. Now I am at the bookstall but the seller will not turn the book over to me. Only to Father Jacques. What do I do now?
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Tue 26/12/2006 21:06:41
Desimaui,
Spoiler

Look at the dealer. You noticed that he was angry about the birds? Click on the river (important) and examine the pegs at the right hand side, under the table. There is a bolt, but you have to distract the dealer before you can do anything with it. Go back to the rowing boat at the abbey and record the bird song. Try a bit until you succeed. Then go to the hotel and use the computer. Open the sound program and use "acquire". Use the walkman as source. The only thing you can do is to use "reverse". The result sounds like the birds at the bookseller.

I got the book now and I returned to the Abbey after I read it. The Police are not there anymore and I can go right up the walk instead of taking the boat. The problem is that I don't know what to do in the church???
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 27/12/2006 07:36:29
When you read the book, make sure that you click on the pictures.
Spoiler

Try to take pictures from the columns in the church of the abbey. It is too dark. Go to the dead monks cell, it is still closed. Go around the corner to where the cows are and look at the window and the lamps. Click on them.

Back to the rowing boat and find there an anchor. Take it and go back to the window of the monks cell.
[close]

About the photos
Spoiler

You will need copies of both pictures of the column. You can't use the camera, but you can use paper (you have it in the inventory already) and a pencil. The pencil will break. From the room where you got the egg you can also get a cork and burn it with the lighter. You will have a lump of coal.
[close]
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Thu 28/12/2006 03:29:32
More trouble I am afraid.  First I can't get the cork off the wine bottle. Did you have trouble? Secondly, what paper? Do you mean the newspaper because that is all I have that closely resembles paper. I tried using it on the pics once I used the hour glass on it but nothing happens. I lassoed the broken light outside the window (near cow) but not even sure what I could want in the room again. Help please!!!
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Thu 28/12/2006 10:22:16
I think that you must finish some tasks in a certain order. When I played through the game I had the same problems until I tried something else in another place. Also, it is important that you use the hand icon and look icon on important items. Not only to see a hint, but also to advance. I did the following things in order:

Spoiler

First try to take a picture of one of the columns. There is a relief of a devil on each one. Before you take the picture you cannot do anything else.

What to do in the room of the dead monk: Open the drawer and take the pencil. You can't take the other item yet.

About the paper: You have a notebook. Use it on either column and then draw with the pencil. The pencils tip will break and fall off.

Now get the cork and use the lighter on the cork.

Back to the columns. Use the notebook again on the reliefs. You will need both reliefs, they are not identical!
[close]

Hope this helps. I enjoyed the game much, most so for the interesting and mysterious story and think it is worth finishing it, even though there are some difficult puzzles in it.
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Fri 29/12/2006 03:11:39
S, regarding the pictures on the columns: I can't take them, I can only use the magnifying glass on them which gives me a close up. When I try to use the camera on it, it says I don't have enough light and no flash. When I try to pick up the pencil in the drawer, he says, "I don't need it!" I still can't seem to pick up the cork, even through the
magnifying glass identifies it as a cork. When I try he says, "I don't need it." I'm afraid I am stuck!
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Fri 29/12/2006 09:32:05
Perhaps you have to do one more thing before you can copy the images in the church:
Spoiler

Use the telescope and point it to the park where you overheard the discussion between Giuseppe and the monk. To the left of the scenery are two parks, one is the Tête d'Or. Look at it through the telescope, then use "exit" and use the camera on the telescope to take a picture. Perhaps this must be done before. If you pick the wrong park (both are close together and to the right of the big antenna, with a bit of green again), Leo will tell you that he doesn't need to look there.
[close]

Spoiler

I also used the "look" icon on all pictures in the book and I also read through the book which is in the drawer of the dead monks cell.
I played again the part from the abbey (when it is accessible) until I got the drawings of the images from the column. I don't know if you missed something else.
[close]

Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Fri 29/12/2006 09:34:52
And an important "detail":
Spoiler

When you have the pencil, use the notebook on the columns, but not in the close up view! You can have a close look at the images, but then use "exit" and use the notebook on the columns.
[close]
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: desimaui on Sat 30/12/2006 03:14:49
Well allright, I got copies of the two reliefs on the columns now. Do I take them to the computer in the hotel to compare them? or what?
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Sat 30/12/2006 09:39:49
Desimaui
Yes, you have to try a little bit here, because you have three pictures and can work only on two of them at a time.
Spoiler

Back to the hotel room and start the computer. Open the graphic program and ac-
quire the photo (select the camera as source). Make a picture of the paper with
the copies of the reliefs and acquire them both. When you used "acquire" to see
both images of the column, the first one will disappear, but you can work on the
photo of the park later on. When you have the pictures of the columns match them
("match" button) and examine them. The red parts are particularly interesting.
They fit almost perfectly. You may zoom in on the red parts. Now use "acquire"
again and you will see the picture of the park and the matched reliefs. Use
"Match" and then the magnifying glass on the lower part. You have found an
entrance to the catacombs that have been mentioned in the book. It is the foun-
tain in the park, where you where spying on Giuseppe and the monk. Go there and
examine the fountain (use hand and look icon on the fountain). Something is
missing. It is a button that you have already seen in the dead monks cell.

Post by: desimaui on Sun 31/12/2006 20:41:07
S, okay I am here in the catacombs with the three doors and I can't do anything. I can't even go back down the hall to the entrance. Do I use something in my inventory here because I can't think what?

PS HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Happy New Year!

You have almost finished the game.
Spoiler

As soon as you enter, the torch will extinguish. Remember the red book that you
found at the book stall? Light the torch with the lighter and go left, light the
torch again... You have to light the torches and follow a certain route to get
into the abbey again. Follow the route as shown below and light each torch.
When you arrive at the spot numbered with 7, the lights will extinguish, so
light them up again and follow the route from 7 to 22.

From 22, you can enter the crypt. Read the book on the stand and click on each
of the three monks. Now click on the relief in the background. It is a puzzle
where you can move parts with numbers on empty parts. Reconstruct the following
date: 09-11-1999 as found in the books.

To solve this puzzle, assign a letter to each box:

    A   B   C   D
    E F G H I J K L

You can activate a number and move it to an empty spot. Do the following (I hope
that there is no error in this sequence):

E A F E K D J K I C G B H I J C I H G F
B G H I C F G B E F G H I A E F G H B G
F E A H G F E I H G F J I H G B C I H G
K J I C G H I J K B G H I J C I H G B F
G H I C B G F J I H G B K J I H G D K J
I H C I J K D H I C G H I J K B G H I J
C I H G B J I C K J I H G L K J I H D K
L C I J K D H I C G H I J D K C I B G H
F G E F A E

Click on the opened mouth and get two pieces of cloth. You will be transported
to the hotel room immediately. Combine the two pieces of cloth in the inventory
and look at them. Use the cell phone, but the battery is empty (use the cell
phone on Leo). Go downstairs, look at the advertising of the travel agency and
find the phone nunmer (011235544), use the telephone in the lobby and dial the
number of tourviaggi. Then go outside and talk to the taxi driver. Go to the
airport. This concludes part 2 of the devils shroud.

S,
You are the kindest person to want to help me through this difficult game. I like it though because it challanges. I am having difficulty getting through the maze because I cannot tell whether I am to go R(right) L(left) or f(forward). As a result I am wondering round and round. I tried to follow your diagram, but still confused. Can you be a little more clearer?

Desimaui, sure!
Spoiler

The drawing is a top down view, so for the first few steps (marked with 1, 2, 3 etc):
Light the torches in every room you enter (see also the book with the hint about
light and the labyrinth in your inventory).

From the first room go to the left, you will be in 2, go left again, you will be in
room 3, go up (background) three times, you will arrive at 6, go right once, you
are now at 7. Count carefully.

All torches will be extinguished by now. Light each one on your way back and up
to the crypt. Now go right once, then down (foreground) three times, right once,
up twice, right once, down twice, right once, up (background) three times and then left. That's it.

Hope that my description for the other puzzle is a bit clearer.

Good luck!

S, I got throught he maze with the help of your instructions.
But of course  am stuck again. I am in the crypt and have looked at the pics of the three monks, put in the numbers 09111999 as the numbers needed on the bottom line corresponding to the currant date but I'm afraid I do not understand your chart with the letters???

No problem.

Because there is more than one free slot, you have to indicate which number you want to move. Then you move it to an empty spot. Look at the first few letters:

"EAFEKD" at the beginnin of the first row means that you should klick on the leftmost tile first ("E"), than move it up ("A"), next klick on the second tile from left ("F") and move it to the left once. Then klick on the tile at position K and move it up ("D") etc. The puzzle is not too difficult, but a bit lengthy. Instead of following the instructions you can also try to move the tiles from one side to the other by moving them into one of the positions A,B,C,D and pushing away to give way, and repeating it (for example: to move a tile from the rightmost to the leftmost position, try to put it in D, then C, then B and E a t last).

Probably, there exist solutions which require less steps.

At the risk of sounding stupid, how do I get rid of the numbers and chnage them to letters? Why can't I get this???
Title: Re: devils shroud 2
Post by: sthomannch on Wed 03/01/2007 02:11:22
Desimaui,
I used letters for the positions, because the numbers 1 and 9 appear several times. The letters name fixed positions only, as given in my hints:

    A   B   C   D
    E F G H I J K L

Each position will hold several tiles when you solve the puzzle. Because there are several "1" and "9", I didn't use the numbers. Try klicking at the locations using a single mouse click and see how the tiles move.

Going back to EAFEKD: Klick on the lower, leftmost position ("E"), then klick on the upper leftmost position to move one of the tiles. Then click on the second from left in the lower row ("F"), then lower leftmost position ("E"), shich is empty, to move the next tile. Click on the lower second from the rightmost ("K"), then upper rightmost
("D") to move a tile there up.

Sthomannch.
Still working on trying to solve this number puzzle. I want to go on and play DS3. Just thought I'd let you know.

S, You gave this to me as part of the clue for the ending code in DS2:

You can activate a number and move it to an empty spot. Do the following (I hope
that there is no error in this sequence):

E A F E K D J K I C G B H I J C I H G F
B G H I C F G B E F G H I A E F G H B G
F E A H G F E I H G F J I H G B C I H G
K J I C G H I J K B G H I J C I H G B F
G H I C B G F J I H G B K J I H G D K J
I H C I J K D H I C G H I J K B G H I J
C I H G B J I C K J I H G L K J I H D K
L C I J K D H I C G H I J D K C I B G H
F G E F A E

Starting on the first line, can I assume that you are meaning to move E to A spot, F to E spot, K to D spot J to K spot and so on. If so, I didn't get too far. On the first row I got as far as  EAFEKDJKICGBHI  and then I am stuck on how to move.

I'm sorry about that. I will check again, most probably I made a mistake when writing down the instructions. I'll need some time though... Your assumptions about moving E to A and so on are right.

Another attempt, this time showing the click on every tile and where it has to be moved.
I also show intermediate results. In results, the top row is the four squares with a space between them (space not shown), and "." shows empty slots. The second row in results shows the lower eight slots, again with "." showing empty slots. Both rows from left to right.

Ok, you are just too awesome. I was finally able to finish DS2 thanks to you. Now onto DS3!!!

Congratulations!
It was worth the effort, wasn't it? For part III, there are a lot of hints available in the forums, but feel free to ask. There are a few rather difficult spots where I invested quite some time.
