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)

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?

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.

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.

I talked to girl in bar and she told me to come to her room 2A but when I go there it won't open... the dude from next room said she went for a walk but I cant find her + cant open 2A door

[z00ze]

So how I can open that door?

[paolo]

Not only that, but...

Spoiler

how does Siobhan get free? She's struggling with the ropes the whole time, and then, after Chzo comes and goes, suddenly she's there resuscitating Trilby.

[close]

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...

She should be in her room. Maybe it's a bug?

Spoiler

get the pliers from the bar, and use them on the nails that are hammered in the skeleton hands. Then pick up the brown envelope that have pills inside.
There is a complete walkthrough here http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=27118.msg344927#msg344927.

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.

Code: ags

[piperhcombs]

I have finished, too

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.
