I finally finished Aphebus or whatever it is...or I think I did. He didn't say anything, it just kind of went into a burst of light. Didn't know which to do next cuz he told me nada. So I picked Bos. I am totally confused, what is the point? Maybe I'm doing it in the wrong order?

Patzi, this is definately a unique game. I'm playing it too and it is very confusing. I think you are in the correct place. Bos comes after Aphebis. I don't know if this game is linear or not. Have you seen the WT? I am following that as close as I can. Good luck.

Yes I've got the walkthrough...I found all the guys and made them appear in the little boxes. However, the wt says click the rectangle thingy then the square thingy or some such...and I don't see any thingys except the picture boxes. LOL Quote: "It/s one of those doors that needs a thingy thing" I love it. hahahaha

The square box that you click on is located to the bottom right of screen picture. Its very small and easy to overlook. Look again and see if you can find it.

Well now I'm on Chnouph... you have to spell Sol Invictus by I don't know...clicking on the letters but they explode and stars keeping getting in the way. This has been the worst one by far. I've worked on it 2 days and give up in frustration. Dang this better be worth it. I need a little kid myself, to help me through this arcade stuff. Some have been fun, there's logic to some of them and I like that. But this is awful. I'm SSSSTTTUCKKKKKKKKKK!

Hi, Patzi!

Ah yes, good old CHNOUPH! Don't you find that once you start collecting letters, the stars begin to gravitate towards you?

The key to solving CHNOUPH is not to move around very much because, the more you move, the more the letters spread out and the easier target you are for the stars. Pick up your letters and then stay still until you see either your next letter or a star heading your way.

Dear Rockingrjranch, and "HI!, and Welcome!" to our newest moderator (Kay... that's my family name, too!)

I was re-playing this game last night to see if it was as hard the second time, when I got stuck at Sol Invictus. The first time, I just played it 'til I got it, probably took quite awile, if I remember correctly,
But got thru it last night, in just 3 tries (Oh, and I like to turn of the sound for these- less nerve-wracking). Big Spoiler!!!

I kept thinking it would be nice if you could pause the game for just a sec, so you could look for the next letter, or avoid the stars. You can but not with the Pause button (of course)!
Hold down the PRINT SCREEN button (at least on the Win XP keyboard), find your next letter, or place you want to zoom away from 'cause there are 4!!!! stars aiming their pointy little heads at you, then let go of hold button just a bit, to adjust if neccesary, or if ready, let go and get that letter!
Then, hit that nice "hold" button and look for the next letter. If it's not on the screen yet, let go of button until it comes up, click it and release button again.
Hope this helps,

Hi, everyone!

I *finally* made it through PEPISOTH, and now I'm stuck on the second part of VARI where I have to move the rings and tabs around. I've looked at the picture in the walkthru and am pretty sure I've got it right, but nothing happens.

I'm sure the music is key, so what should it be doing if I'm on the right track?

Thanks!

Susan

I need help on the Soithir. I have grouped the lights over Agia Sophia but nothing happens. I have even tried grouping them on top of one another (very difficult) but nothing. They are all in the dotted square and I am getting frustrated. Other than that this has been a great game.

Hi, Dudemom!

SOTHIR gave me fits as well because, no matter what I did, nothing happened. Try moving the lights towards the right side of the dotted square making sure they're still above "Agia Sophia" and see what happens.

I have a feeling that the game felt sorry for me and solved the puzzle all by itself because, all of a sudden, the screen went black :-)!

Susan

Dear Dudemom, what she said, should work! (to the right of dotted line. The lights seem to move like reversed polarity or magnets.

Hey Susie!
If you are having trouble, it may be because you are trying to follow the solution for the European version (the one by Gamehound here at the 'Boomers) of In Memoriam's VARI puzzle.
They changed this puzzle for the Missing, American game. Now, If you are hearing loud music, this is good! That's what got me thru this 2nd part (the cities are the next, and last, part of VARI).

Use the tabs to eliminate the larger static noises, but, and I think this may be different, too, the RINGS will be the ones to shut of all noise and leave the voices.
If I remember, there were 2 tabs in the middle, 1 on top.

Unless you have gotten rid of most of, or all the white noise, fine tune the music with the audio buttons, tweaking RINGS if necessary.
After you've hit it just right, the white noise will quit, and you will only hear music.

Then just keep hitting that seemingly useless audio button- hey, it does work!

It will gradually resolve from the singing, to a man's voice, saying the names in the correct order for you to click on for the 3rd pary of VARI. As you go over the stars, a lady's voice will tell you the name of each city.
That should get you there. Have fun!

Hi, Kathy!

Is the audio button the one in the middle because, if so, I can't interact with it. I can just move the three rings and the three tabs around the outside.

I'll try it again with the two tabs in the middle and one on top.

Thanks.

Susan

The audio buttom is the one on the toolbar, the one you use for looking at movies, internet, etc, not the blackish button in the middle of the puzzle. It does nothing.
Open up your toolbar, click it, shut it to listen to the music, see if the music starts sounding less confused.
You must click and exit to listen a number of times, and use the rings as well.
When the music starts sounding like people singing a song together, instead of a bunch of different songs, you're almost there!!

Hi, Kathy!

I didn't download the sound tool, so there isn't one on my toolbar.

Susan

You kind of have to have it, to solve this puzzle. Just takes about a minte, and is harmless. Luck!!
