Title: The Devil's Shroud
Post by: lakerz on Sun 13/06/2004 22:55:46
I'm very stuck on this game, although I've completed a decent amount of tasks withing the game.

Spoiler
Does anyone know how to get more evidence to present to the Abbot regarding the murder?  I've taken the picture of the blood and matched it up with the picture in the book but the game says that isn't enough.  I have a feeling I need to do a Ogle search on the PC, and I've tried typing in a dozen variations of the Followers of Satan or Satan's Followers but have had no success.

I am also stuck.  How did you match the picture up with the book?  Also does anyone know how to get a light source to explore the area where he says it is to dark to go in?

Hi!

For what I've played,
Spoiler

there's a torch on his bedroom. Go down from the living room to enter it. I couldn't get it before going to the Abbey. I suppose the batteries can be in the tv remote. Who did you talk to about that dark area?!...
To match the picture, first use the magnifying on image (try on a very little right blot , then look at pic and book, then get a pic from the book and match both.

Lakers, have you tried that on Italian? However I don't know if that works yet.

Thanks I'll try that.  For the dark area go down from the monk that is walking in circles and you will be in a small room where there are tourches.  One is missing.  Walk to the far left and he will say it is too dark to enter.

Thanks to you too, Tvcooper2001!

Spoiler
After having matched the pics I returned to the Abbey and that time I got that "hint" from Ketmaier. But I reloaded and didn't get that hint again, so I don't know yet if the torch can be got.
What I know is I maybe need a container for water (in clalice room). Let's see if I can get one, or then that can be a red herring, what I doubt anyway.
DAMN, that ogle must be a red herring, or else Ketmaier would have also translated it...

Primus,  I tried to get the flashlight but it says I don't need it.  Must be some other light source needed.  Will keep trying.  Will let you know if anything new develops.

I am still stuck in this game the same place as before.  Any one know how to get a light source or how to proceed after matching the blood with the book?

Hi, TVcooper!

Spoiler
you may obtain the torch from the bedroom after you get a photography of the Abbot's secret book from his room. Now the problem is we need to put the abbot sleeping. How is that made? I didn't figure it out yet...

That part is already on the complete game announcement thread.

So, PLEASE, does anyone know
Spoiler
how to sleep that abbot without being the old way (eg crashing the photographic machine on his head?!...)

Hi, Porchbeast!

No, you don't have a film.
Spoiler
Go home and use your digital camera (it isn't a PolaroidÃ,  ;) ) with your laptop, more precisely with the graphics program.

Hi again Porchbeast!

The same as us, I think we're al stuck in the same point nowÃ,  :-[
Pls check this thread as well:
http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=14655.20

Oh, BTW,
Spoiler
so to make the abbot come again to his room, walk a screen up once, then come back: and you'll see him going back to his room: I'm sure he had eaten to much codfish, as almost you do that, he'll be in search of more water...Ã,  Ã, ;)

Hi!

Thanks for posting.
You're far advanced than me: my soundcard is with problems, so I don't have sound at all...
And I coundn't gone to the travel agency homepage; I think it's  later in the game, a trip by plane...
Yes, it's a short for goOGLE :) !

Sounds like you guys have made more progress than I have.  Sounds like finding the Abbot's book is something I totally missed the first time I tried playing this game.  ;D
