Journey to Hell

what you need for the snake:
!!not only a hint!!

Spoiler

... asking how to get a snake you will be told to buy or catch one. Since there is no snake to buy you need to catch/steal one.  You already saw one, so we'll go “the easy way” and steal it.

The very special trick that grants you success for to catch it is a mole, because they love this delicatesse - so you need to find (and catch) a mole to be able to distract it with that yummy thing.

Thanks for your kind support...

Spoiler

but how do I know /or can figure out/ that the mole is needed for the snake? Found no clue so far.

[close]

meanwhile, I am...

Spoiler

sailing in the north sea and trying to hunt some whales. Got the instructions and managed to kill 1 whale, but as soon as the ship crashes there is no whale left in the inventory. Also, it seems that the boat sinks most times for no reason...even wehen there is no whale in sight![/hint]

about snake-hint ingame ...

Spoiler

... it is told to Martyn by an inhabitant of Egypt, when you ask for to get a snake 

[close]

about whales-hunting ...

Spoiler

... I am the worst whales-hunter you can think about , but the ship is not only sinking after crashing into the whale, there's also o rock you need to avoid â€" and if you really hit the whale from correct position, it will die and you'll get some money  - it will  be told, if you succeed. Good luck!

About the whale hunting

Spoiler

it sounds like a bug. Sorry. One whale should be enough to get your money, but probably you killed the whale while the ship was sinking (or something like that). I hope you saved the game before hunting for whales. Btw, you'll be able to skip next 'ship fight' against a water dragon (which is harder) pressing the 'S' button.

Yes, you were right and

Spoiler

I have not seen the rock, probably because I went whale hunting during the night. Now, I killed the whale, got the helmet and managed to catch the mole (what a funny event, haha). On my way back to Egypt.

who would have thought of all these adventures at the beginning of the game. Fantastic story and addictive gameplay!

[axxesfun]

At the moment,

Spoiler

I got stuck while trying to open the cave (I need to type in something and I already tried out the code of the paper and of the chest key) and still I cannot manage to get the red berries off the tree... tried with the mule, the snake, the rope on the tree and lots of other things. I do have in mind the hieroglyphs of the pyramid and I remember that guy in the dessert, who told me to make some money out of the egypt jewels - but it seems I need them for the cave . Also, have been back to Italy & Egypt... So far, I could not find anybody able to talk with me about all these subjects, nor any additional clue.

That's pretty good!
...now you just need something else to help you translate them:

Spoiler

... and you'll  need  an egyptian vase to do this.

about the red berries at the tree

Spoiler

... if you spent your earned money already, you now have the two needed items for this.
One gives you the chance to cut them off and the other one makes it possible for you to reach them.

I'm stuck in Egypt.

I'm trying to:

Spoiler

get to the lost pyramids by camel

[close]

I have:

Spoiler

the star map I took from the nunnery and the map I drew from the telescope

[close]

I already:

Spoiler

got the combination of constellations from the fortune teller from the stones from the Bedouin

[close]

But I have no idea

Spoiler

what to do with all that information. I would think that by looking at the star map, I would be able to follow the paths based on the stone combination but I can't imagine that the pattern in the sky is supposed to correspond to the constellations. If it is, I can't identify any star patterns so I must be missing something. To make it more difficult, you only get about 2 minutes to complete it because it turns light very quickly

[close]

Thank you

You are on the right track with the map and the night sky. It took me some time as well...

Spoiler

actually the night sky will show you the right way, if you figure out how to use it.

hope that helps, regards.

...you can't imagine, but it does

about pathways in the desert ...

Spoiler

... you need the stars-map to identify the pathways â€" once you did that, you can concentrate on the order that you have been told from the fortune teller.
So I'd recommend doing a ride just to “control” the sky with your map â€" after this is been done, you can give it an other go to make the way in time.

hmm...

it seems that I cant afford to buy the only available vase in the game and I have not yet found a way to get more money.

about the buying

Spoiler

... you might not need money to get what you want. Do you have something to trade?

[vjeepusofthenile]

Ok, I'm asking for a "pest control" hint:

Spoiler

I've got a staff and a helmet to cover two holes, but I don't know how to get the mole into the helmet. Raining or shaking doesn't work. The berries, seeds and pancakes don't work as bait. Waiting by the holes all day doesn't do anything. I can't even see any sign of the mole.

Still no luck

Spoiler

There's no connection between any of the star patterns and the star map. For example, I need to start with the snake. I looked at the star map for the snake pattern. You have about 1 second to look at the pattern and then try to find a match in the stars on the screen and then relate them to a path (right?). Nothing matches in the sky and the paths don't really line up with any star patterns

[close]

I must be really missing something.

[Tabata]

a big one about using the star-map:

Spoiler

... leave the stones aside first and go in the desert.
Use the map several times [on different places] on the sky to realize the order of the  star-signs ... after that you will know wich path is related to which sign ...  - good luck!

WOW!! It never dawned on me to use an inventory item on something not marked as a hotspot. That certainly changes the gameplay...

VIELEN DANK!!

[Tabata]

Hmmm -  last time I played the game there have been hotspots 
but whatever:

Bitteschön, wirklich gerne geschehen! 

[vjeepusofthenile]

Tabata, thanks for the tip. No luck so far but I'll keep trying.

[Tabata]

@ vjeepusofthenile
don't know your inventory, but it seems to me, you are missing an item ...

Spoiler

I suppose you haven't explored the area at the river that closely?  ... It has plenty of water ...
