The Devil's Shroud

desimaui · Tue 05/12/2006 06:06:26

Boy, this game has really gotten to me. I can't seem to figure out what's going on. I'm in DS 2 and am walking all over town but can't seem to do anything. I can't get into the madame's house, I don't have a map to keep from getting lost, and what do I do with the locked door near the telescope. Also, I need 20 cents to use the telescope. Do I have any money?

sthomannch · Tue 05/12/2006 20:25:37

oh God! More than one thread for the same game... I posted something in the other thread, because the other one was referring to DS2. Have a look there :-)

desimaui · Wed 06/12/2006 23:33:42

Sorry I was in DS2 and posted to DS1. I went through this entire thread and I cna't find anything to help me. In the room with the missing torch and the altar what do I do? It looks like I need to put a light source where the torch was, but he can't use the one at home???

sthomannch · Fri 08/12/2006 05:28:33

As far as I remember, I made a makeshift torch

Spoiler

I took bandages from home and a stick and some oil. Needed more than one light source.

I can't pick up the bandages from his BR because he says he doesn't need them. And where do you get a stick?

sthomannch · Fri 08/12/2006 16:27:41

The stick is at the parking lot in front of the abbey. About the bandages: Perhaps you have to do something first. Can you tell me a bit more what you achieved in the game till now?

desimaui · Fri 08/12/2006 23:58:30

I cannot pick up the branch, if that is the one you are talking about. I have been to the abbey and talked to the
priest, found the dead body and took a pic of it and have looked at it on the computer but not sure what to do with the pic. Have walked to all the areas in the abbey and around it. I have these in my inventory: keys camera, cellphone, wallet, remote, notepad, travel agency info and business cards. Can you help?

sthomannch · Sat 09/12/2006 09:58:50

desimaui,
the torch and all these things will come into play later on. I replayed the game and give some hints for the start. When you later on have more problems while playing, ask again.

Tip: You can consult your notebook anytime and your progress.

Take the letter and car keys, look at grandfather clock and interact with it :-)
Go to living room (up) and listen to the TV, go around sofa and take remote
control and digital camera, switch off TV, get out of living room. Go down to
bedroom. Switch light on, try to take flash light, take wallet and examine it in
the inventory, pick up the cell phone. Open wardrobe (no need), turn on light
of bathroom, open bathroom, examine it. Go to kitchen, examine table. try to
take the lighter that is next to the sink (can't take it now), open fridge,
examine it and close it. Exit to street and use the keys with the car, destina-
tion St. Michele Abbey.

Spoiler

Parking lot: Can't take the branch yet. Go up and left to the abbey. Use knocker
on door, talk to friar, then give him the letter Enter the door to the right of
the friar. After cut scene, get out and talk to friar again, enter Anselmo's
cell. Interact with everything, look at everything (bed, robe, body, drawing),
take a picture of the drawing. Leave the scene, go down to well and watch the
abbot drinking, you can explore the environment, then return to home.

Spoiler

Go to living room, get a book from the upper middle (you have to search a bit)
and read it, turn on computer and open the graphics program. *A*cquire image
from camera, Click on magnify and search a spot in the image (it is a small
circle down and right of the big red drawing) and examine it carefully. Look at
book again, it must present you two pages. Start graphics program again, acquire
image, magnify the interesting spot, acquire image from book, now click on the
*M*atching button.

Good luck!

You are so nice to try and help me. As far as looking for that spot on the image, I must have clicked on every shape there but I cannot see a circle shape. (of course the pic is none too clear) Where is this shape? You said rigiht and down, tried that and still cannot find. When I click on other shapes it says "this is the drawing from the cell." When I use the book it says "this doesn't look like the picture in the cell." This game is drivng me buggy...

sthomannch · Sat 09/12/2006 20:56:15

desimaui,
click on the magnifying glass, it asks you for the part of the image you want to have zoom into. Put the middle of the hand icon on the spot indicated in the next picture (the hosting is a bit inconvenient, you have to wait a bit)

desimaui · Sun 10/12/2006 07:59:04

How do you acquire image from the book.Its not the same as getting the image from the camera?

sthomannch · Sun 10/12/2006 08:09:09

It is the same, just activate "acquire", then open the inventory and select the book (with hand icon)

desimaui · Sun 10/12/2006 18:34:05

I finally got it. I wasn't using the magnifying glass on the picture of the spot in the book so he hadn't deduced he had to make a match yet. Thanks for your help. any clue as what to do next. I imagine I go and talk with the priest. yeah?

sthomannch · Sun 10/12/2006 19:14:25

Good! To continue:

Spoiler

Go to abbey, use the path to the right of the door with the knockers and enter
Anselmo's room. Examine the body again, look at the pool of blood below that is
below Anselmo's throat, then go to abbot and talk to him. Go to Elmo, the men-
tally disturbed monk, and try to talk to him. Talk to other friar and learn
about medecine. Time to go home.

[close]

Spoiler

Take medecine and go back to abbey. Go to the fountain in the back of where the
friar stands and fill chalice with water from the tap (not the through) and put
medecine into chalice. Find Eldo (go to hall and up). Give chalice to Eldo, he
refuses, so close window and try again. Talk to him. You see the two spots of
light? After telling the story, Eldo will give you a piece of paper. Look at it,
it is empty. Go to fountain and put chalice back on it's place. Go to the place
with the torches (sanctuary) and hold paper to lit torch to reveal some text.
Go to abbot and talk to him. Go to fountain, get chalice and fill it, then put
medecine into chalice, three times. Go to abbot, leave the room, he will drink
and got back to his study. Follow him and search him. You will find a key. Find
the keyhole under the picture to the right in the abbot's study. Use key on it.
Move the painting above the keyhole. Get a book and read it, see the three spots
of light on the picture. Take a picture. Put back book and picture, lock the
mechanism again and put back key. Get out and talk to Eldo. Go home.

Gosh, you'r awesome to be so helpful, but I've hit another snag. I've talked to the monk outside the murdered monk's room and he told me about the tranquilizers but he doesn't give me any. Where do I get them from?

desimaui · Mon 11/12/2006 08:31:01

oops never mind the tranquilers were at home. Igot the key, took a pic of the book and now I am at home. I made arrangements with Eldo to get back in later through the back door.

Hi,

I am playing part three of the game and I am stuck trying to pick up the keys from the manhole: how do I join pen and knife together?

Thanks

Journer35

sthomannch · Fri 05/01/2007 18:22:29

journer35,
you can't do that in the first part of the game, and I assume you just started the game

Spoiler

you will need the keys later on, after you have seen the show in the theater. And then you can combine the pen and knife and can pick them up.

In this series of games, you cannot do certain actions just by trying, but you have to complete certain steps first and follow the story. See also Leo's web page.

desimaui · Sat 06/01/2007 05:22:21

Wow, where did you get part 3?

sthomannch · Sat 06/01/2007 11:33:58
