Thanks Maggie and everyone else for your help, I fiinished, looking forward to the next one! 

Statue wheel buttons:

Kediri
This is the part I had difficulty with. In the end I managed to get the right buttons by accident.

Spoiler

I think I pressed the buttons that corresponded to the zodia csigns, leo, gemini libra and I think it was pisces or aries. Why those buttons I couldn't work out.Hope this helps

Spoiler

The 4th button is pisces

Hm, I'm not sure what I should do after

Spoiler

getting rid of the monk. I think I was returning to my hotel room to do something, but I don't remember what it was. Is there something I should have been doing?

Anyway I went to the bar and asked the barman about Galina what's-her-name. I went to the house and saw it was covered in devils when it hadn't been when I had looked at it earlier in the game - this looks like a bug to me. What's more, I cleaned the devils off, went away and came back, and they had returned... is this some supernatural effect that is part of the story, or is it a bug? Also if I leave the scene via the map and return, the broom is back outside the house. If you walk away, Leonard puts the broom back himself.

So apart from that, what is it I should be doing at this point in the game? I cleaned the house but I had no reason to do that... maybe that's why the devils came back.

Thanks.

some question

How can you know that you need this zodia signs - what was the clue .
Are it in the statue names ?

a Vain man
a merchant
The Dead
Arab


And what did tell the first act in the puppet theater -  ?
Second act was from the monk and third from de devils but can see the clue in the first act

[Kediri]

To get the names of the zodiac you have to look at the dial on the clock - it's the one off center between the 4 mini statues you mentioned. The wheel on the jesus statue is the same one minus the zodiac symbols. I drew mine out on paper as a reference too.

On a bit of paper indicate the devils as seen at Galina's house, then go to the puppet theatre (behind the hotel). There'll be a cut scene but the bit you need to pay attention to is the order in which the red devils go up. So write it on your paper. That is the order in which you clean off the devils

Yes thanks But how dit you know you need the signs

Spoiler

Leo, Gemini Libra Pisces . I dit read this here but can't see how you come on this signs. If i not read this how can i found that i need this symbols  ?

[close]

[paolo]

Thanks, Kediri. I see that it's necessary to interpret everything in the cutscene.

Now,

Spoiler

how do you jump off the bridge? I've had the tarot reading from the old woman, which I suppose is the reason I need to jump off. But...

a. Which room do I need to be in to make the jump? The one looking right along the bridge, or the one at the end of the bridge?

b. Where exactly do I need to go to jump off? I haven't found a hotspot anywhere to do it.

[close]

Thanks.

[Maggie]

Paolo

Spoiler

you need to be on the bridge as you come from the old square and you can jump from the left side using the hand icon

Peter

Spoiler

I found those bittons by accident. I was trying to match the hands of the clock to the wheel but that didn't seem to work so in frustration I hit other buttons. I still don't know exactly why they worked so perhaps someone else can tell you

[/spoiler]

Thanks, Maggie, but it doesn't work for me.

Spoiler

I've clicked the hand icon all over the bridge (in both the long view and the end view of the bridge), sides, statues, etc, but I'm not jumping...

Is there anything else I need to do after hearing the old woman's card reading before I can jump?

Spoiler

talk to the barman about the river and the spirits in the river, otherwise you cannot proceed.

Monks:
I found that if you

Spoiler

are holding the torch and click on the monk he turns away - it may be of use further on.
From outside the hotel "look" at the roof of the place opposite. Now I'm not certain if it's immediately accessible or you have to try getting past the monks first. Use your hand icon to get on the roof.

[close]

Only use this spoiler if you can't get across

Spoiler

If you can't get across the gap, "look" at that board. Use your hand to slide it across the gap, then you can cross - you may need to use the torch on the monk to stop him seeing you.

[close]

Then you'll be stuck where I am!

Can you or anyone give me step by step to how to deal with all monks?

I have read all possible hints but I still cannot make sense of those.

So Maggie there are 10000 possibilities with 4 numbers and you did it by trail and error -

My key card have 4 numbers  - i never give my key card at you

I think when you not give the signs names , we all still looking for this because nobody have found ? how you come at this signs ( did the barman say something about this, or are there written in the red or other books )

And what did tell the first act in the puppet theater (act with 3 old gray men) ?

Maybe this will help. Clue says look at time. The ASTRONOMICAL clock always goes anti clockwise.  There is a sun, moon and star on the pointers . So sun moves to Leo, moon moves to Gemini.

It is September month so on star chart the opposite of Virgo (September) is Pisces and also the ASTROLOGICAL clock moves Virgo to Libra

SO you get Leo, Gemini, Pisces and Libra
This is my logic

[paolo]

Actually, Peter, there are 495 ways of choosing 4 signs out of 12 (I'm not going to explain how I worked that out, but trust me on this - I'm a mathematician), but it still takes some doing to guess the right answer by trial and error.

To get rid of monks:

Spoiler

Go to the puppet theatre and watch the show (use the hand icon on the door of the theatre).

You will see a scene play out that describes what you need to do.

First you see yourself. Then you see the three monks. They rise, meaning that they have died.

Then you see the monk in black. Watch closely to see what makes him die. This is what you need to do to get rid of him. Of course, you then need to work out how to do that.

Keep watching and you will see a hint about what you need to do after you have got rid of him.

Good logic Rolyn Thanks

I have read the whole of this forum (all 6 sections) but am still stuck at the monks {hide} I climbed the low roof, went left, crossed the plank and went to the corner and poured gas down at the cornice so it lands near the monk, then lit the candle and tried clicking the lit candle on the cornice, but the game replies "I don't think it is enough".  I even tried the torch on the monk to make him turn away from the pipe before I clicked the candle on the cornice, but I still get the same message "I dont think it is enough" {unhide} Please help, someone.  Thanks, Wendy

[Wendy]

Sorry folks, my "hide" instruction (above) did not work - and I can't find somewhere in the Forum FAQs that tells me how to delete what I posted.  Someone please tell me :-
1) how to delete my posting
2) how to hide : I used the square brackets on my keyboard but I see that curly brackets came up, and I also omitted the slash before hide to say unhide.
Sorry, but I am new to this - please guide me someone.  Thanks
Wendy
