Hints & Tips / Re: The Devil's Shroud

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.

I had asked him about the monastery "Talk about: monastery" but that wasn't something he wanted to talk about.

Hm... I just seem to be wandering around.

Spoiler

I've got the map from the drawer in my hotel room. I've discovered the Old square, Kampa, Charles Bridge and the castle.

I've been to the bar and spoken to the barman about Prague and these places.

I've looked up the monastery on the Internet, but I don't know where it is.

I've seen a lot of things around that I haven't been able to pick up, presumably because I don't need them yet.

So what do I need to do to get to the monastery?

Thanks.

thanks ali and buloght.  ;D

i didn't actually know british police didn't carry guns.  ;D thanks for letting me know.  ;)


Yep, there were a couple of other things that weren't quite English in the London section but they didn't make any difference to the gameplay. After all, this was an alternative reality, so maybe it was a London from an alternative universe. (Mordalles, if you decide to change this, British police officers usually carry a truncheon, which you might call a baton in your part of the world.)

A couple of other little bugs that I don't think have been mentioned yet:

Spoiler

* If you go into the treasure room (or some other room in the Egypt section, I'm not sure which) while you are with Bess, and then walk back out again, Bess is behind you in the black part of the screen, outside the room.
* When you are in the submarine, if you go off to the right when you are in the deeper part of the sea, a vertical strip of the part of the room containing the oyster appears on the left.
* After cutting the weed, if you look at the squirrel before picking up the acorn, Piet still says that it has an acorn in its paws.

But these don't stop the game being EXCELLENT!

spoken to the guy in the tavern and bought him lots of drinks, which is how I knew what to do in order for something to end up in the nest, but... where is this lever? He won't tell me anything more except what the guild does, and I can't buy any more ale.

It's OK - I've found it.

How do I

get hold of what the thief left in the nest in the forest (note: not the nest in the garden)?

I've tried getting the rope back that I used to get the apple, but I can't do that. I don't seem to have anything else in my inventory that will help.

Thanks.

Hm, I'm stuck again...

Spoiler

I'm trying to get into the underwater excavation site. The guard outside says I need a form from the captain. When I speak to the captain, I can only ask him about the periscope, not about a form.

I spoke to the captain long before I went underwater... I hope that I didn't do it too soon and that I haven't ended up at a dead end as result.
[close]

Can anyone help?

Thanks.

Thanks, Joyce. For some reason unknown to me, I had not completely overlooked that part of the ship.

Great game!

I'm a bit stuck though. Where can I find

the other wire on the submarine? I have the red wire, and have an idea of what I need to do to make an orange wire, but can't find a yellow one anywhere.

please someone tell me where to put the fur after i scratch the sofa I'm so stuck here

Pattica, I hope you found the answer or worked it out for yourself:
Spoiler

Don't use the fur... use the scrap torn from the sofa on Sheba.

I finished the game and got 70 out of 80... what did I miss?

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?

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.

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...

Spoiler

I'm still looking for the bleach. I know earlier postings say it is in the room behind the door in the transporter room on Borbald, but when I go into the open hatch, there are no bottles there. When I go into the open hatch, I end up in the scientist's laboratory straight away.

So where can I find it? It looks like I can't do much until I have it.

Thanks.
