Spoiler

I entered two towers and found the entrance to the labyrinth. I hope to find a map of the labyrinth.
The room close to the tallest tower is also a bit weird. I can't smash the wall. A nudge in the right direction?

[close]

How did you enter the towers?
Never mind , Sorted thanks.

 How did you enter thr towers?

Spoiler

Took me a while to find the path between the castle, then there is are two trees by the sides of the wings
I suppose you already entered the west wing, so climb the tree by the left wing when the window is open

Spoiler

I need to find where the antichrist died.
I looked at the picture of rite...don't know what to do with that
don't know what the hollow on Virginia's necklace is for
don't know how to put the figures on the chess board
don't know what the hat on the green doll is for
don't know how to solve that bas emblem at the fireplace
don't know how to look at the picture of man to the left of the fireplace with emblem
Don't know how to open locker etc...
Are these things somewhat important to procede?

[close]

I know nothing
any slight directions are welcome

- I need to find where the antichrist died: likely the central room in the labyrinth. I can't enter it
- The picture of the rite: look at the grassy area at the graveyard (not the crypt, but in front of the crypt), use the scissors on the grassy area then
- Necklace: Look at the picture in Virginias bedroom. Look at it carefully... If no bell rings, ask again in this forum
- Chess  board: Did you find the armours and the horse statue? They tell you where to place the three pieces of chess on the board. If successful, you will get a key
- Dolls: I solved only a riddle on the doll on the far left and the one with the close lookup. Doll on the far left: A strange hat, isn't it? Find the record and put in on the grammophone, then look at the hat again. Ask again in this forum
- Emblem at the fireplace: You have to solve other riddles until you find one of Virginias notes. You have to find a symbol (you have to dig for it). Only when you have found the symbol you can work on the bas relief
- I can't look at it neither
- Locker: After the gardener went home, you can melt the lock with muriatic acid. As long as the gardener is around somewhere, you have no chance to open the locker
Are these things somewhat important to procede?
- These things are important. You have to make your way through the castle to proceeed (look at the time on top of the window), because you cannot work on something before the time is right.

Hello again,

I'm still on part I and I've found some old threads for parts I and II and even a walkthrough for part one but none of the posts help me figure out

Spoiler

what to ask father endo so he'll help me get back in at night. I've taken a picture of room in the book from behind the painting in the abbot's room. I can't leave until I find a way back in. I've looked all around and it seems, from the old threads, I need to talk to Endo. Do you remember what I need to say? my combo of words is failing and revolves around getting back in and the crypt.

Then you're obviously not using the right walkthrough.. ;-)
Straight from mine:

Talk to father Elmo again (help) and ask him to help you tonight.

That is incredible what you have achieved. Thank you for that once again 
I know that every hot spot is somewhat important at the certain time, but some more detailed info about what to do, or some hints in the game, would be very helpful

Tallest tower: Crash

Spoiler

I looked at the floor plan and used it on the footbridge: "There must be a door"...

[close]

then a crash and a message pops up, but too short to read, next is a Microsoft message, "do you want to send the problem report?" Strangely enough, the game doesn't stop but is only minimized. I can open it again and continue.

Let's go on

[Vagabond-Heureux]

Thanks for the link to your walkthrough. I think I should have mentioned a walkthrough earlier The one I found and was using was from an old thread on this forum. Thanks again, Leon.

Okay, I advanced a little bit (10:30pm)

Spoiler

I visited the pictures in the labyrinth. Still no map, so I tried to map it myself. Not so easy. But at least I got all the stones. Found the central crypt and Arthurs skeleton, lit up the crypt, put the mask over the skull and try to set up everything else. My next problem: Leo cannot remember the exact outline of the necromantic circle so I have to copy it. But how?

i have two bishops and one knight,where in the heck do these go on the chess board?

[david]

mdyoung40
It has been said already

Spoiler

Chess  board: Did you find the armours and the horse statue? They tell you where to place the three pieces of chess on the board. If successful, you will get a key

[close]

[mdyoung40]

yea,i seen that, so i put them on the board and no sign as to where they go.still don't know but thanks.more defined answer please

[david]

Wow finally I managed to put the figures in the right place
a little bit of tricky and misleading but
hint 1

Spoiler

two bishops are not in the same line

[close]

hint 2

Spoiler

left bishop is in the same line as the horse

[close]

hint3

Spoiler

each bishop is looking different way

[close]

hope it helps  

[sthomannch]

First of all: You must have been at the places with the armours and the horse statue.
Use the floor plan and if this doesn't help

Spoiler

label the fields of the chess board as follows: Lower left corner is a1, lower right is h1.

The rooks ("towers") are on b4, f6, g2

Put the bishops on c3 and e4. In fact, they are a little bit off set

Put the knight on f3.

[mdyoung40]

thank you sthomannch,it worked yeaaaaaaaaa,thanks

[sthomannch]

almost there

Spoiler

I copied the circle to the notebook. Every step in this game seems logical, once you have done it :-)
Try to prepare everything for the rite. A few things are still missing

[close]

[sthomannch]

Those who already visited the east wing

Spoiler

could anybody switch on the light bulb in the attic? Did you find a transportable emblem of the devil? I need it for the ritual.

[close]

[david]

no, not at all, I am faaaar from that point
but what to do in that locked room in east wing (the key is from the chess board), for example there is a handle, but he doesn't want to turn it.

There is one glitch with inner garden, I mean the gardener is gone. He moved to the front of the gate and he's gardenig
and Leo says The gardener could see me,... huh? when he tries to open the locker
Where do I find scissors?

[sthomannch]

david

Spoiler

the room in the east wing, with the four poster bed: walk over the carpet and examine one corner.

handle: I couldn't do anything with it yet

the gardener still can see you, so you have to complete other tasks first. When he is gone, you can work on the locker

shears: You will find them later in the game

[close]

[david]

this is a pretty tough part  :o

where do you find winder?
