Trilby's Notes - help thread

[Sam.]

I might as well start this thread as people will inevitably get stuck, as I am, and to limit the amount of needless threads.

Plus, im stuck.

Spoiler

I'm just wandering the hotel, confused. I unlocked the toilets and read the journal, what am I actually supposed to be doing?

[close]

[advent]

I don't know what to do at the beggining of the game, in the pitch black room, I just opened the window curtains.

[Adamski]

I believe zooty should

Spoiler

Take one of the pills

[close]

As for myself I'm a little further on...

Spoiler

I've seen the painting cutscene, opened the safe, and used the crowbar on the door to the exhibition room in the alternate hotel. Now not much seems to be happening and I've probably missed something!

[close]

[Sam.]

um

Spoiler

which pills?

[close]

and advent

Spoiler

try looking at things in teh room, what is on the floor?

[close]

[Lucky]

Spoiler

I can't even get through the painting scene. Am I supposed to push the painting through the gap, if so, how?

[close]

[Bernie]

I believe Zooty should...

Spoiler

...look around in the toilet a bit more until he finds something.

[close]

As for Mr. Lucky...

Spoiler

...you're on the right track. Best to try some rephrasing (don't remember the exact command I used).

[close]

[Khris]

I was stuck there, too.

Spoiler

push painting door

[close]

[jane]

Am stuck, am in bllod stained hotel, have unloced toilet and read journal but can't fathom out what to do next? Read above that there should be a pill somewhere but can't find it, is this later in the game

[Adamski]

The end sequence has me... stumped... if anyone has a clue they can throw out I'd be happy!

[Bartimaeus]

As for myself I'm a little further on...

I've seen the painting cutscene, opened the safe, and used the crowbar on the door to the exhibition room in the alternate hotel. Now not much seems to be happening and I've probably missed something!

Spoiler

I waited until i was in the alternate dining room, took a pill and walked into the exhibition room. Quite obvious when you think about

[close]

[Khris]

Stuck again:

Spoiler

I drank water and put it on the pills. I was in a grey room with two fires but now I don't know hot to get back there?

[close]

Or am I missing something else?

[Bartimaeus]

Lol damnit.
Thanks for the quick reply Adamski.

[Sinitrena]

I need help:

Spoiler

I'm on the Sea Angel (or whatever this ship was called) and I don't know what to do. I think I have to talk to the sailors somehow but I don't know how. Any hints?

[close]

[DoorKnobHandle]

Spoiler

I suppose I need the crowbar to open the boarded door in the alternate dining room? Where can I get it? I have a matchbox, a piece of meat, pills and lockpicks. I don't know what to do. I already had the painting-cutscene.

[close]

Any help?

[T_ed89]

I'm stuck at the exactly same place as dkh, please help...

[Khris]

Sinitrena:

Spoiler

Walk to the one at the right and "gesture knife", then "climb" down the ladder and "carve idol".

[close]

dkh:
Hint:

Spoiler

look at one of the grey doors next to the hotel room doors.

[close]

Solution

Spoiler

"use match" in one of the corridors, fire doors will open.

[Bartimaeus]

Stuck on the really weird ending sequence now 
Must... Finish... Game.

[Sam.]

humm humm

Spoiler

Ihave seen the harpsichord scene, and spoken with Abed in the display room, i have gone down to the basement and drunk the dirnk and mixed it with pills, I am stuck. Halp?

[close]

[Bartimaeus]

What the?-
Now Im really confused.

Spoiler

I did the scene with the slave man and then left the display room after picking up the cola and the note. I spoke to the professor and he said I must speak to the woman in the bar. I spoke to her, went up to her room, spoke to her again and now Im getting charged down by a maniac with a white face and a black robe.
What's all this about a harpsichord and mixing pills with water?

Okay, I'm stuck:

Spoiler

I've got these porcelain limbs, but can't find Abed (who has the head).  Where's he gone

[close]

[BovineBeast]

Argh, a thousand apologies.  Can someone fix that for me, since I'm just a guest, I can't edit it.

[Gord10]

Spoiler

I have used the crowbar on the door in the nightmare level, and entered to the room where the corpses are hanged. What should I do now?

[close]

Thanks in advance

[Khris]

Gord:

Spoiler

go outside the exhibition room, take a pill, then enter it.

[close]

[Gord10]

Thanks KhrisMuc

Spoiler

Does anybody know if the pills are unlimited? I avoided using so much pills as fearing they might be run out.

[close]

[BovineBeast]

Just finished it.  Best ending ever.

[Khris]

Gord:

Spoiler

I'm pretty sure that the pills and cola are unlimited.

[close]

BovineBeast:

Spoiler

Where did you find Abed? I went fetching the wine and now I can't find him.

[Adamski]

Hi Bovine, could you give me some hints as to what to do on the final sequence?

Spoiler

I assume it's a talking puzzle, but every verb i try is a dead end!

[Khris]

Spoiler

You've got to find all four limbs, they are all in the normal world, afaik.
Did you look outside the hotel?
I believe one was in Trilby's room (3C), one in the reception office, one outside. Forgot where the fourth one is, I think in the bar.

[treq]

I'm stuck after the painting event, where you play as Matthew. Abed said there was a gallery in a room next to the dining room, but the doors are locked. Can someone tell me what I have to do next.

Another question. Is there an easier way to find out what commands to use. Cos someeimes its difficult to tell what something is and what to call it. E.G. I was stuck in the bathroom cos I didnt know what that orange thing was till someone said that it was an envelope. So is there an easier way to figure this out or do you have to guess. And one more question. Whats that red and yellow thing on the desk at the reception room.

Spoiler

"get the matches" on the counter. go to the hotel rooms and "use a match on the smoke alarm". "open the fire escape door." "pick up the crowbar" and "climb" ladder. go to the dining hall and "use crowbar on nails" near the boarded door while in the shadow realm. ''take a pill" and then enter the door.

use "look" and "look at table"

room behind reception = reception office, isn't it?

Still stuck at the end:

Please tell me what to type, and when. Thanks in advance.

[treq]

Spoiler

Thanks for the reply. I'm stuck again. This time I'm on the boat with Mbuata and I have to find a chisel and wood. I know where they are but I cant get the chisel. The sailor guy who has it cant talk to me cos I dont understand his language. How do I get the chisel out of his hand. Thanks

[close]

Spoiler

He doesn't say anything of the sort at all. When Tall Bloke is summoned, he walks to the stump and then it goes black. Every time between the cutscene starting and that happening I've tried to "die" and it hasn't worked. Trilby doesn't say a thing to himself, he just sits there bleeding.

[close]

[AJA]

Well, then it must be something I did that made him say it ...I'll try it again.

-edit-

Spoiler

Okay, try this: "move", after that you should get those messages. If not keep trying to move.

[close]

[bovinebeast]

Well, then it must be something I did that made him say it ...I'll try it again.

Perhaps you have to keep the guy talking?  That's all I did.

[mätzyboy]

About the end scene...

Spoiler

First of all I tried dying, and he said it wasn't time yet. I kept trying to do all sorts of things. I drank lots of cola because I thought the caffeine mentioned in the response would give me power to get up. I tried kicking the idol, grabbing my coat, drinking wine (which gave the wierd response that I should specify if I wanted to drink from the wine bottle or the cola bottle.) Talking to Siobahn. Then I tried dying again, and it worked! I don't know what out of all this actually made a difference... I did notice that the messages displayed indicated him becoming less and less strong...

[close]

And then I want to ask...:

Spoiler

Did anyone manage to drink the wine? And did anybody actually find any use for the cola? Has anyone found any easter eggs/hidden puzzles/in game jokes?

[close]

[Ferret]

...kept walking in and out of rooms when I wanted to go to the dark world. I figured the pills out though... Was pretty apparent with the note that came with it I guess...

[close]

[DeviantGent]

Spoiler

I 'died' after I got the message about 'the only thing keeping me going was my will to live'. I did lots of talking and moving beforehand though.

[close]

[Khris]

I was able to die now, didn't get all the messages before, though.
Great game.

[T_ed89]

I'm stuck when you shall serve a drink to the professor, I read that I should search in that bag in 2a, but I can't open it (a bug maybe?). Somebody got a tip?

[treq]

Sorry I have to ask for help again, but I'm stuck. I wish Yatzhee used point and click instead of a text perser. its quite annoying.

Anyway I'm stuck in the celler where those isects are. I used the lump of meat on the insects. But what do I do with the hand. I cant pick it up or anything.

You should've checked the bag already at that point. Go to the normal cellar and take the wine (yellow/green spot at back wall). Then return to the bar. Abed's not there, so go the dark world bar.

As for Mr. Lucky...

Thankies. Got through the rest of the game without too much trouble.

[treq]

I'm stuck again. I drank the water in the celler and world went back to normal, but now I dont know what to do. I cant take the wine. I talked to Abed about sioban and himself.

PS: Dying in order to save the world makes a lot more sense in this game that in the 3rd Matrix movie.
PPS: How did the girl untie herself and how can Trilby come to life again after he lost too much blood to keep his brain working?
PPPS: Thanks to Zooty for helping me not once, but twice.
PPPPS: Letters and random horror moments are not included.

[Bartimaeus]

Heh, that was a sweet game.

[Gord10]

PPS: How did the girl untie herself and how can Trilby come to life again after he lost too much blood to keep his brain working?

[close]

I think it is because

Spoiler

She was tied in the other world; so when the ritual got unsuccessful, the hotel turned back into reality again. And she was not tied in real world. Guess the same is also valid for Trilby's wounds.

By the way; were the musics are in .mid format? I couldn't hear any music in the game, and my PC doesn't play midis for a long time. I would be really sad if I had finished the game without any music

[Kweepa]

By the way; were the musics are in .mid format?

.mid or .mod, since the music is bundled in the main executable.

I couldn't hear any music in the game, and my PC doesn't play midis for a long time. I would be really sad if I had finished the game without any music

Yes, you missed out. It's very odd that your PC doesn't play midis... if you open Windows' master volume properties there's a separate channel for midi - perhaps that's turned down low or muted.

Oh, and thanks for the walkthrough, jet!

[BlackDragon1200]

By the way; were the musics are in .mid format? I couldn't hear any music in the game, and my PC doesn't play midis for a long time. I would be really sad if I had finished the game without any music

From the readme file: On some computers the Windows WAV sound volume may be automatically turned down when the game is started, making sounds but not music inaudible (you will notice because the movement of the cursor on the title screen is supposed to make boop boop noises). To rectify this, alt-tab out of the game and manually change the Windows volume control to a comfortable level.

[Rosie]

amazing that everyone is finishing this game..... I cant get him to open the blinds.......LOL

I see his silhouette by the window, but he says he isnt close enough.  Tried over and over again, moving him inch by inch, no show..........Well Congrats to all of you....I feel so dumb

[Kweepa]

Tried over and over again, moving him inch by inch, no show..........Well Congrats to all of you....I feel so dumb

Try getting the silhouette over the door, then tap UP to get him against the door. Then tap RIGHT to until he's in front of the window, and then tap UP again. That should do it.

Don't feel bad - I had no idea what to do in that room either until I read jet's walkthrough. It seemed particularly tricky for the second room in the game, when you're not exactly sure how the movement works or how much the parser understands.

[skyfire2]

[Rosie]

Thanks Steve, that did the trick,,,,,Very good directions you gave me......

[R4L]

Just finished, and my god is this game awesome! Hail Yahtzee!

[Radisshu]

Sorry, I'm not sure how to wrap texts in a hidden spoiler window, but

BEWARE, SPOILERS APPEAR BELOW

I've come to the top of the house, seen the scene with the woodcutter and his son, gotten the note from the agent which tells Trilby to meet him in the cellar, and gone there. It was empty, and there doesn't seem to be a way of returning to the "light" world, I tried drinking water from the puddle. The walkthrough says "SPACE: Walk to chest, OPEN CHEST", but I can't get to any room containing a chest.


EDIT: Nevermind, solved it.

EDIT, AGAIN: Yes, this was indeed awesome. I even think this series is comparable to professional "classic" DOS-adventure games (such as LOOM).

[jetxl]

Hmm, the Space part must have been one of those random horror moments. I'll remove it.

[sergiocornaga]

There already is one, above. Although, I would like to know, relating to possible easter eggs...

Spoiler

I drank some cola in the real world and entered Siobaun's room, which led to a room with the number 287 scrawled all over the walls. I assume this is the date 28th of July, so I tried setting that as the date on my windows clock, but noticed little difference. Trying to leave the room leads to a grey firelit room (The druid's house from the last flashback) and shortly after was teleported back into the hallway. A while later I found myself in the cargo bay with the coffin from 7 Days a Stranger (did this happen to everyone?) and was then teleported to the lobby. Is there anything to do in these rooms that people know of?

[close]

[Alynn]

For all those quesitons about the last area...

Spoiler

The main point is to input as many commands as possible, even if you can't actually move. Each time you do seems to increase a counter, eventually you will no longer be able to talk, at this point just input as many commands as possible (Get Idol for instance). Eventually Trilby will say the only thing keeping him alive was his own will. That's when you can finally die.

A while later I found myself in the cargo bay with the coffin from 7 Days a Stranger (did this happen to everyone?) and was then teleported to the lobby. Is there anything to do in these rooms that people know of?

Happend to me too... BTW Can anyone tell me what happened in 7 days a skeptik ending i have never beated sunday

You have to search both the versions of the hotel

[Radisshu]

Hmm, the Space part must have been one of those random horror moments. I'll remove it.

You meant the 7 Days a Skeptic part? I think that can occur at any point of the game.

[Mahaloth]

Two simple questions.

1. Where is the Cola? Please tell me the room, the "reality", and the location in the room.

2. Where are the missing body parts for the body at the top of the "scary" hotel?

Thanks!

[destron]

help!

where is the exhibition room? is it the door in the dining room? if so, how do i unlock it?

[miryoku_81]

Mahaloth:

Spoiler

1.  The cola is in the exhibition room (through the double doors in the dining room), in normal reality, on a table by the doors.  2. The missing body parts you will find at a later stage in the game and they are scattered around the hotel in normal reality

Spoiler

you need to obtain a crowbar to open the boarded up doors (you need to find a way to go down the fire escape to get the crowbar)

hi,i got some question...like,first,i'm stuck.I'm with Mtoba,and i have to carve the idol...when i do "gesture" , the sailor say that he don't understand,but what's is the command to have his carving knife?...And other question,i don't know if it's an easter egg,but i found some little weird thing...the first time i took a pills and go to the bar,i find myself in the deck of 7 Day a Skeptic,with the black box in the center....i write "Look around",and it say "it's hurt" and i teleport myself in the bar...After,i was walking again in the normal world,and when i go to the reception,for 5 or 6 seconde,i was controlling the guy with the apron and the mask all with blood...so does it's easter egg,or just to make us scare???

-My last "nightmare",i discover it the same way that the other.but we teleport ourself in the basement of DeFoe Manor,near the manacles,and the Melder ,with his machete,go down the stair a approach us....That one really scare me....
Anyway,if you want to know if you are in a night mare,just tape any command that make sense,and it will say "It hurt" ...tell me if you saw other nightmare!

Downloaded and completed in one 2 hour sitting - thanks you lot for the hints, saved me ages wandering around looking for porcelain limbs.

I didn't get either the 7 Days nightmare or the Trilby-as-the-welder nightmare Gutted really.

Were they specific to having the date set to 28/07 or were they just random events?

[JoJoBoy04]

As i know,i suppose it's random,but me,it's happen most of the time when i start a new game,go to toilet,take the pills,and the first place i go is the bar.It's happen often that i do the 7 day nitghtmare there...and the trilby-as-welder,the only time he's appear,for me,is when i go to the lobby,passing in the corridor where it have the bar's door....it's the only time it's appear!(for me,i don't know if it's just luck that appear for me just there)

[Merlin]

Finished it in a two- (sleepless afterwards) night sitting. Awesome game, best of the trilby series so far despite the annoying parser interface 

Really needed to consult the hints several times though, got stuck desperately a bunch of times.

Please keep em coming yahtzee, we need another one

[Spare-Flair]

Okay, don't need help but I'm wondering what exactly is the point of the doll (even trilby says it's stupid, a kind of in-joke?) Did it relate to the story in any way or was it just there as a puzzle?

Also -> what the heck is the thing with yellow and black stripes that the tall man is holding in his left hand (while holding the man in the other hand) during the first final cutscene with the ritualists?

[HarmonyGrace]

Hi all, sorry if i missed this, I have read entire topic.
In walkthrough it says

Spoiler

The fire escape doors on the right are now open.
Walk to the fire escape door and OPEN DOOR.
Walk to the table.
GET CROWBAR.
Walk to the ladder and CLIMB.
Go to the dining room.
Walk to the boarded up door while in the shadow realm.
USE CROWBAR WITH BOARDS.
While in the shadow realm TAKE PILL and then OPEN DOOR.
You re now in the exhibition room.
Walk to the table and TOUCH CHISEL.

[close]

How do I get back into the shadow realm?

[jetxl]

Enter and exit rooms untill you are in the bloody version (shadow realm) of the hotel.

[BunnyMilk]

Or drink the cola?

[Fragbasket]

what the heck is the thing with yellow and black stripes that the tall man is holding in his left hand (while holding the man in the other hand) during the first final cutscene with the ritualists?

I think it's Trilby's waistcoat - it's missing from the stump room at the end, and he asks Siobhan where it is. Cabadath says at the end that they have the blood of the guide.

The fact that Siobhan doesn't answer Trilby when he asks for his waistcoat is a little suspicious...anyone think she might be in on it too? That would explain why she didn't get killed like everyone else - they only left Trilby alive because they needed him and killed Abed Cahal at the first possible opportunity. The flashbacks show that it's not possible to run from Cabadath...

Also, she never answers how she got past the doll/door to get out onto the roof. Admittedly this is probably only so Yahtzee could take the pills away from the player to make sure they were in the shadow world basement where the hole was dug.

I might be reading to much into it

Any thoughts?

[Insignia]

Correction about the final puzzle.

Spoiler

When Trilby is lying on the stump, move once. Just type "move". It makes his wound worse. Then all you have to do is wait, pressing Enter when messages pop up. The "keeping me alive" message is purely based on time since the wound got worse, and is not affected by any other commands.

You could put it all down to artistic licence or plot devices, of course, but it is a bit suspicious, isn't it? Maybe Yahtzee is leaving the way open for Trilby 4...

Hello.
This might sound silly now, but I've looked at the topic and I haven't found a solution for my problem, which is:
I have seen the painting cutscene and I have the crowbar, but Tribly won't use it on the doors in the dining room that are next to the toilet in the "hack'n'slash" hotel. He says they're just not tough enough.

Please help and would someone please tell me how to hide messages so I don't ruin it for everybody?

[jetxl]

Use it on the "boards" infront of the door, not the door itself.

[piperhcombs]

Spoiler

PPS: How did the girl untie herself and how can Trilby come to life again after he lost too much blood to keep his brain working?

[close]

I think it is because

Spoiler

She was tied in the other world; so when the ritual got unsuccessful, the hotel turned back into reality again. And she was not tied in real world. Guess the same is also valid for Trilby's wounds.

[close]

AND

Spoiler

Well, the implication was definitely some kind of divine intervention.  For Trilby, at any rate

[close]

Don't know how Siobhann got free- maybe she wriggled around enough for the ropes to loosen. I do have a comment about Trilby though.

Spoiler

I think it's possible for Trilby to have come back to life without divine intervention or reality shifts.

You see, you are technically dead when your heart isn't beating (aka no pulse, breathing, or heartbeat). If someone performs CPR within a certain amount of time (quickly), the person can be brought back to life (chest compressions force blood through the system and restart the heart, rescue breaths circulate oxygen and force the lungs to work). In the game, Siobhan said 'she didn't know if she was doing it right and that she apparently did' when Trilby came back to life. She was probably referring to CPR. It's no guarantee that someone can be saved with CPR, especially by an untrained "civilian", so Siobhan and Trilby must have had a stroke of luck.

Great game. The ending of 7 dayz  and the destruction of the idol left a perfect opining for da next game. Not to pressure the author into making a new game. None of us are antisapating it. (just hoping).......although that takes care of the soul and body..... the mind is all thats left. Also why must they need triblys life? this confuses me............

[Estaog]

Yes I was wondering the same thing, maybe they used him to attract the Tall Man into this world, but when he found Trilby to be dead, he killed the other guy (forgot the name) and came into this world by offering him?

Don't know I just figured science you can see him as the Tall Man's slave in the end.

[sthomannch]

I suggest he should send the girls and the car (even better: the girls in the car).

First I thought it was a Japanese guy who a problem with the character set. But now it looks more like stupid advertising. Stupidity is the most powerful force in the universe, q.e.d.

Hi,

I'm kind of stuck in Trilby's notes now, please help me. I collected the arms/legs and head of that dummy on the top floor. Then I entered the backyard(the first backyard) in shadow realm and took a pill, and after that, one leg was missing. I looked all rooms that are available at this point for the (again) missing leg, but it is nowhere to be found. Is this a bug? Do I have to start again?

[Sash]

aw I'm sorry but I found it

[Mercutio]

Pretty damn good game, like the way it ties 5 and 7 days in:

The idol all the way through,
and the fact that at the end he begins to decide what to do with the idol, which links wayyyyyyyyy into the future in 7 days where the note displays "special agent trilby...DO NO OPEN" and so on.

Sorry if that was blatently obvious.

But I heard alot of people claiming that this was the best trilby theyd played...really?

[Hamed]

I'm at the end... i read the walkthrough and the thread but just couldn't finish the game. I type as fast as I can, talk to Leckmann more than onehundered times till he says he can't speak no more, then I try moving, taking, pushing... but he's never ready to die. I wonder if there's any special phrase? I came through the end without any hint, but now I'm stuck at the last puzzle even with the walkthrough, please help.

In the Normal Realm there isn't much music when your wandering round the corridors, sometimes none at all, but you should get the voices and scaary sound effects when you are in the alternate realm and in the flashbacks there is music.... I don't think there is a problem with your computer, you probably just have to do something to trigger some music... how far into the game are you?

You're supposed to do it in a hallway. On the right in one of the hallways is a door, with a fire detector above it. The correct hallway is one where you could enter a hotel room .. but you're not supposed to do that.

have a prob.
I couldn't go further in the game, so i used the walkthrough posted here.
I got the head from the professor and the walkthrough says now: "(LEFT LEG) Go to the reception and GET LEG from desk." the problem is, Trilby doesn't get it and says "I doubted i could have taken that with me." Can someone tell me what to do?

I'm currently playing Trilby's Notes, an awsome game so far, however I am stuck in the gallery with Abed Chahal.  I do not know what to do or what to say and how to say it.  Please help.  Thanks

I need to get the head from Abed. However, when I go to the cellar and type "Get wine" or "Take wine" (or bottle), it won't let me.

Abed needs to ask for the wine first; talk to him about a drink or wine, don't remember the exact words.

Hi guys,

have a prob.
I couldn't go further in the game, so i used the walkthrough posted here.
I got the head from the professor and the walkthrough says now: "(LEFT LEG) Go to the reception and GET LEG from desk." the problem is, Trilby doesn't get it and says "I doubted i could have taken that with me." Can someone tell me what to do?
thanks

hey... i got the same problem... i went asking around in many forums... need help here please!

For anyone having problems with the last scene:

I think its a bug with the timing of the level. The important messages that Trilby says only come up after a certain amount of time, and the timer seems to start when you load the level, even if the scene was half way through.

The only way I could finish the level was to say the proper word (you'll know what it is) after sitting through the entire scene and waiting for Trilby to say he was ready.

If you don't get it the first time, remember, do NOT restore a saved game from the middle of this scene, it will not work right. Load a save from before it starts and it should work fine.

I'm going to report this bug to Yahtzee. Its really the only explanation for why the scene doesn't work half the time.

The reason you can't take the leg is 'cause you're in the shadow realm ^.^ It confused the hell out of me too, but then I randomly switched back, and all the limbs are in the real world, for some bizzarre reason. Enjoy the game anywho, I just finished it, I wish I'd discovered this walkthrough before I got right to the end, would've made it a heck of a lot easier -.-

Here's a hint:

Spoiler

Trilby says "No, I'm not ready yet"

[close]

If it didn't help, read this:

Spoiler

You need to die after the Tall Guy materialises, when he starts aproaching you.

For the last scene,

Spoiler

MOVE several times and Trilby will say different things as he degenerates, the right moment to DIE is when he says his vision clouds and only will to live is left. Logically, you cannot die in any moments just your mind  wishes.

I believe zooty should

Take one of the pills

As for myself I'm a little further on...

Spoiler

I've seen the painting cutscene, opened the safe, and used the crowbar on the door to the exhibition room in the alternate hotel. Now not much seems to be happening and I've probably missed something!

Try this:

When the scene is creepy, go to dining hall then take pills then open the door
