Has anyone here ever played this game? I'm incredibly stuck. Right now the abbot has dismissed me, but my agenda, nonetheless, is to get into the crypt. My problem is that my character refuses to pick up the electric torchÃ, or lighter from his house. He also won't take the towels, or the stick at the driveway of the abbey...
I suspect the crypt is underneath the abbey... down the stairs where the torches and alter are there is a dark alleyway, but the character refuses to go because it is too dark.
This is the game site:Ã, http://leok.altervista.org/download.html
And it seems to instruct players to come to AGS for help.
... anybody got any ideas?Ã, ???
Just started to play....Have used digital camera to photo marking on priests wall.Ã, Ã, Gotten a book out ofÃ, Investigators library on Satanism.Ã, Found oil on the floor of the little room off stairs in Abbey...and a missing torch.Ã, Will keep in touch if I get a little further.Ã, Jacquie Clarke
Thank you so much! I'm relieved somebody else is giving it a whirl. I can't believe how utterly stumped I am... ;D
*sports Jim Carey's goofiest face and shouts* ... Allrighty Then!
Spoiler
Go to the water fountain by the Christening font in the abbey and fill the chalice with a TRIPLE dose of the tranquilizers. Put the chalice back down and wait for the abbot to return for another drink. Watch him as he yawns a few times, then heads back to his chamber to pass out
YEAH! :D
Well, I'm giving it a try too, and I've got as far as JClarke and I'm already stuck ???
I'm really not sure what I'm supposed to be doing at this point... anyone care to enlighten me? :)
Takara.
Spoiler
Takara, read the book on Satanism, then go the computer. Choose the imaging option. Take your digital camera and upload the picture you took from the crime scene. Next, you want to upload a picture from the book there too. You need to now do a comparison between the two pictures to verify that the blood on the wall at the crime scene is part of a satanic ritual. After doing this, you've got to head back to the abbey. Make sure you've scoured all possible clues so that you actually have something to talk to the abbot about. Once you've discussed your findings with the abbot, he'll dismiss you.
Okay... I'm suddenly beginning to wonder what I'm doing wrong, cos that's exactly what I was trying to do.
Spoiler
When he reads the book he says "I don't see anything like the drawing on the cell door"... Using the computer I can get the image off the camera to load but when I do the same thing with the book nothing happens :(
I downloaded the game to try and help you out and I seem to be asking you so many questions! :)Ã, he he :)Ã, Still, it's keeping me entertained for today :)
Takara.
I really appreciate you downloaded this to help me out. This makes AGS a good forum :)
Spoiler
Did you examine the blood on the dead monk's neck, and on the wall with the magnifying glass? Very important. Now the next step is to upload the blood picture, and then examine it with the computer's magnifying glass icon. You want to ZOOM IN to take a GOOD LOOK at the satanic symbol that was made of the smeared blood on the wall. Take a GOOD LOOK. Go to the library and get the book. Examine it with the magnifying glass. Get a picture of it. Take it to the computer and with the computer's magnifying glass, choose the button in the imaging program which allows you to COMPARE the book's picture to the blood one you've already got uploaded. The book closes. Click on graph, click on the photograph and okay.
I hope this works for you.
:) Thank you! I missed one little step in all that and now I've progressed, woo! :) I'm not all that good with games which don't give you a clue where hotspots are, I tend to miss things!
Inevitably, I'm stuck again :-[
Spoiler
So a lot of stuff happened, and now I'm supposed to be going to Lyon... but the travel agent's phone is busy... so I guess I'm actually supposed to be doing something else first but once again, I've no idea what! Any idea?
I like the AGS forums too, they're everso friendly :)
Takara.
What would we do without you Marie.? This is a very linear game so that if you don't do thongs in the right order, nothing can happen, I was trying to download the picture onto the computer too.....but I didn't examine the neck with the magnifying glass...Looks like you're out there all by yourself playing with no help from me....yet. Thanks.. Jacquie

Which is particularly ironic since it's because she asked for help that we both ended up playing this in the first place! :)
Ah well, I'm sure all three of us will complete it eventually :)
Takara.
I just downloaded this game too, so if you three keep playing and keep posting your hints I should be able to get through it too. I didn't download it because I thought it sounded a bit scarey lol but if you guys are playing it I should be able to too. sooooo keep posting

Spoiler
Click on the computer, and select internet explorer to get to Google; when the search engine pops up, type in the travel office, ' tourviaggi ' and click on OKAY. Your destination, obviously, is Lyon. Make sure you have your credit card number on hand.
*waves to Joyce who sent me a link to a bundle of fabulous game links* :D
The Devil's Shroud was one of the games on the link. :)
Well you guys must be a heck of a lot smarter than me because I am wandering around totally lost.
Spoiler
where is the library to get the book on satanism?
I can't pick up the chalice because he says he doesn't need it.
Where is the tranquilizer?
Found the room where there is 3 indentations on the floor, don't know what to do there.
I get in my car to go back home and I click on home and it won't go. I am stuck at the abbey.
Told you I was completely lost!
And now this is why I dislike games where the hotspots aren't obvious... The place where you have to click to go home on the map isn't where you'd expect!Ã, It's in the grey splodge, kinda up and left a bit from the letter H.Ã, Just keep clicking lots and you'll find it eventually! :)
For Joyce:
Spoiler
For the book on Satanism you need to check out the guy's bookcase at home.Ã, For the most part he says "It's just a bookcase" but there's one section which is his bit on Satanism where you'll find the book you need.
The game is *very* linear, so until you've got the book and done stuff with the photo on the computer you're not going to be able to pick up the tranquiliser.Ã, One thing I might add for when you get there... have you found your character's bedroom and bathroom?Ã, Took me a while to wander in the right place to magically find myself in new rooms!
From Me to Marie:
Spoiler
Oh how i was hoping you wouldn't say credit card!Ã, I knew when he mentioned it wasn't in his wallet I was going to need it! Any chance of a clue as to where the fool has left it?!
And I was trying google before I asked for help, just didn't think to type in the name of the travel agent... the word didn't look English so my brain didn't register it as important!
Takara.
Takara ;D
Spoiler
Remember where your character was at the start of the game? Sitting on the couch in the living room, just off of the dining room while reading the letter of invitation from the abbot? Go sit back down on that couch and then click either with the mouse, or the lense, around the couch, and the credit card pops out.
Thank you Marie :) I can't believe how close I was to the end! But woo! Finished now :) Thank you for all your help :)
I wonder when the next part will be ready!
Takara.
Thanks for the help. So theres a bathroom and a bedroom, I wondered where he slept and showered lol. Now that I know I can get back home I will try and go on but its very frustrating when you have to click in a certain spot.

We're here Joyce! We're here :)
I definitely do not have my smart hat on when I am playing this game.
Spoiler
I found the book on satanism, looked at it, saw the picture of the symbal but I can't for the life of me take a picture of it with the camera. I have clicked all over that page and nothing happens. I have the picture of the blood stain on the wall and I was able to upload that on to the computer and I zoomed in on it like you said and I think I did that right because it then said it looks like the symbal I've just photographed. To be sure I'm going to make the matching with the computer. So how do you get the photograph of the symbal in the book? I haven't even found the bedroom or the bathroom yet because I have spent all my time trying to do the picture thing with the computer.
BTW probably wrong forum but have you played The Breakdown?
Spoiler
I know that when you were in the dead monk's room, it was very important to touch and examine with the eyeglass, the blood on his neck, as well s that on the wall and to take a good look at both BEFORE taking the picture. Next, you the eye glass eyecon on the computer to EXAMINE the picture from the monk's room that is now uploaded to the computer. Take the book, touch it, examine it with the eyeglass. Take a picture of it... This should work now. Please let me know how you make out Joyce
:)
Spoiler
I did all that in the dead monks room. I can get the picture that I took of the blood on the wall uploaded and I have examined it with the zoom and I get the message that it looks like a 9 and 6 interwoven etc. My problem is I can't take a picture of the symbol in the book. I am trying the camera on the open book on the symbol and nothing happens. Is that where you take the picture? Do you get a message when the picture has been taken? I thought maybe it had taken it but I only seem to have one picture in my camera, the one of the blood on the wall. Think I am gonna give up on this and try and get through the other one I am playing A Tale in the Zoo.
Spoiler
When you're using the computer, after uploading the picture from the camera and zooming in, press the acquire button again and choose the book as the image source. This will load the image from the book onto the computer (he must have a scanner hidden somewhere or something!)
Thanks Takara I thought I had tried that too but I will give it another go after I watch Coronation St lol
::)Ã, Ã, I. on the other hand can't get the darn book open.Ã, He just says doesn't look the same or something.....Gee I wish I knew what I haven't done to get the book to open.Ã, I did pick it up early in the game...maybe before I took the blood spatter picture.Ã, I am getting frustrated,Ã, like the game, but boy it can be a problem.Ã, Any suggestions.Ã, I've read all the messages to this point.Ã, Ã, Ã, Thanks.Ã, Jacquie
Jacquie
Spoiler
I wish I could help you, you wouldn't think that by picking up the book earlier in the game would stop you from looking at it. You are looking at it with the magn.glass not trying to open it with the hand aren't you?
I finally managed to compare the two pictures on the computer, I was trying to take a picture of the picture in the book not realising that you had to use the book with the acquire button. Duh. Working my own computer is hard enough but to have to work a computer within a computer is even harder lol

JC, what if you just look at the book, without opening it so that the character acknowledges it is a book on satanic rituals, and then take it over to the computer and acquire it's picture. Once you've done this, you should be able to read all about it. If memory serves, I don't think I could read until I did this. And somewhere along the line, I think I gave the wrong help in informing people to take a picture of the book's pictures. Like Joyce says, get it to the computer and acquire.
Okay Marie
I must be totally stupid
Spoiler
I got the water in the chalice, put the tranquilizer in, you said a triple dose, I tried the second time and he said I only want to sedate him not narcotic him. So I tried setting the chalice back down again and waited for the abbot to return but of course he didn't, then I thought maybe it was for the monk thats running around like crazy, so took the chalice to him and he said hes not thirsty. I saw a chalice in the abbots office, thats not the one is it?, I am using the one I picked up in front of the fountain. Marie next time you download a game make sure its an easy one lol
JClarke:
Spoiler
I was having exactly the same problem.Ã, Before he'll look in the book properly you have to get the image from the camera onto the computer and then magnify the little splodge of blood to the bottom right of the big splodge.
Once you've done that and looked at it you need to examine the book again and he'll have a better look!
Joyce:
Spoiler
By reading Marie's earlier hint you're getting a little ahead of yourself!Ã, The first tranquiliser is for Farther Eldo (I think that was his name!) - the mad guy wandering around a pillar at the top room
I agree, choose an easier game next time Marie! ;)
Takara.
Yes Takara,
Like I said I did try giving it to the guy that is running around like crazy but he said hes not thirsty.
Sorry Joyce, little bit sleepy here! You need to make him hotter... check out the window :)
Yep figured that one out, I closed the window, so I was able to give him the drink and he told me his story. Now I went and put the chalice back because it said I should return it. Now I can't pick it up again to put the triple dose in it for the abbot. This game is driving me crazy.
Joyce, did you get something from Father Eldo?Ã, Something that may contain a clue? :)
You need to find out what that note says and then go talk to the Abbot again :)
If you can't work out how to read the note:
Spoiler
It's got heat sensitive ink on it
and if you're still stuck:
Spoiler
Hold it by the torch in the room with three furrows
Takara.
Thanks Takara
Its nearly 12:30 where you are, its time you went to bed lol. Just one more thing, do I have to return the chalice before I figure out the note thing and talk to abbot again?
I wouldn't have thought so... you should be fine carrying it around :) If he starts refusing to do things then go put it back, but I wouldn't have thought it would cause a problem. The game doesn't seem to let you pick things up early.
Right... now to get some sleep :)
Takara.
;D Finally compared blood patterns...wow what a reliefÃ, I guessed I needed to get tranquilizers from bathroom closet ....but no it's still just medicine........If I didn't have everybody here to help me I'd look like the Monk running around the columnÃ, lol.. So, I'll try to see what I've missed , thanks all.Ã, Jacquie :P
Thank goodness I am not a private detective, I'd never solve a case, although if I was getting paid by the hour I'd be a millionaire.
I am stuck again!!
Spoiler
I am back at apartment, found credit card, I have looked at picture of where crypt door is, can't get flashlight or lighter. I do have a way back into the abbey but he keeps saying he won't go back until police are gone so I have obviously missed doing something in the apartment.
Jacquie - you need to go talk to the Abbot and then Father Eldo before the character thinks he needs tranquiliser which is why you can't pick it up yet :)
Joyce - He said something earlier about wanting to compare the picture he took with the actual room. He's probably got an old cheap digital camera without a nice display on it, so you'll need to print out the picture.
Takara.
Thanks Takara
Spoiler
Yea I did see a message telling me I would have to check it on the spot and it never dawned on me to print it out. You would make a good Sherlock Holmes just don't ask me to be Watson. Once more I will try and go on but I am sure I will be back to ask more questions lol
Spoiler
Yep its me and I am stuck again,
Spoiler
I got into the crypt, I have put the cross in the thing in the niche. Theres a gate there which of course I can't open. I looked at the symbols on the wall, can't do anything with them. I did figure out how to get out of crypt again but I have no idea what to do next
Spoiler
When you put the cross in the niche the gate actually opened!Ã, It's just extremely unobvious and confused me too!Ã, Just click further to the left and he'll magically walk through the gate even though it still looks closed!
Thank you Takara for all your help.
Spoiler
There should have definitely been some sort of message to let you know that you could walk through that gate after putting the cross in the wall thingie. It took me a while to find the phone book too even though I had clicked on the obvious place a few times but I eventually got it. So I finished the game, you'll be able to go to bed at a reasonable hour now cause I won't be asking any more questions lol
:o Well I've got two torches lit and the light lowered , put the branch in the empty torch holder...buuuut ot won't light with the lighter. Tried diooing branch on floor oil..uh uh didn't work. I guess it's something simple... Just had a thought,,going back home to get a towel....maybe. Jacquie
Jacquie,
lol - I did exactly the same thing before I realised I needed something and had to go back home
JAcquie
Spoiler
should mention too that in an earlier post I said I found phone book but it wasn't a phone book but it was something with a phone number on it - just in case you are running around looking for a phone book!
;DÃ, Thanks to everybody for the help in finishing part one.Ã, I'm on my way to Lyon, France.Ã, Ã, It seems like there should be more completed parts or else how would the person who made the game know how many parts there would be to the game. Does that make any sense?
Jacquie
Yes I know what you mean, I just had a look at the site it was on and I don't see any sign of part two but there is a few other games on there you might not have played.
http://www.e-securenetworks.net/gamesolves/free/t/tfree.htm
Actually I just realised that link I gave you is just for the games beginning with T, if you go to the bottom there is an alphabetical index so looks like there is a lot more games maybe?
:oÃ, Thanks Joyce, I'll do that,Ã, It was fun, all . See you in part two.Ã, Ã, Ã, Jacquie
