hi. i'm stuck. i can't get into the shaft to the library. is there something that i have to do before this. i think i've done everything.

See if this old post helps - here.
and keep us posted.

i can get to the shaft but can't go into it. i tried going all the way up & then down & still no go.really weird!

Dusty, are you meaning getting to it from the elevator shaft, or from the actual library itself? Also, have you talked to both Lisa and Dexter about the library?

i'm
on the ladder & the entrance to the library with the grate hanging on it,but can't get into the duct. if that's what it's called

yeah, that's the duct off of the elevator shaft. Has Nancy commented about hearing a noise (which allows you to climb down to the basement level of the ladder?




Dusty, when I played it last, in September, I made a video walkthrough. I pulled up my walkthrough, and I think it may help you. I put it in splits (to upload to youtube faster) and I believe what you'll need is part 2 in the playlist.
Check the walkthough out here.
I hope this helps you

isn't the duct the one that goes to the library? yes she said about the noise, someone's down there.i haven't tried going all the way.hang on, no it takes me to the top of the elevator, were i go into the elevator.

Thanks for the link to the videos, Jen.

I haven't been in the library through the door yet.

The duct is like a squared metal tube. The only place it does go is into the library.

Try this:

• go to the elevator and ride it down to the basement.
• Enter the elevator shaft, by way of the door in the roof of the elevator
• This should lead you to the very bottom of the elvator shaft. From here, climb the ladder up all the way and then click down once. On your direct left is a doorway (I'll add a screencap in the bottom of the post) when you put your mouse there, it sound become an arrow, which should allow you to click there. This is the duct that leads to the library

Here is the screencap from the video: http://i67.tinypic.com/15ezuvl.jpg

I believe you have to enter the library through the duct first (to get the alarm code or you'll snag and end-game)

I noticed in the screencap there are 2 cards, i have the oil can & the key to the library as well. maybe i should put the key back.

finally got it. i went upstairs & set the time to 10pm, used the stairs to the basement & tried again. it worked. thanks everyone.

glad you got to move on If you get stuck again, let us know This is one of my favorite ND games (love it's work with Marie Antoinette, too ) If you do get stuck and want a save, let me know, I do have saves for this game too

Thanks very much for your help.
