In the WT in the beginning of Act 4 I spoke with S. Lang, then talked to Linda. The WT said to go up to the tower and use the binocs to see Blatt with white sails now, turn R and see periscope. I have not seen Blatt, nor have I seen a periscope. Now, cannot get Poirot to pace off the area where the treasure may be. I can't see anything I've missed, but that's happened before! Any thoughts?

Marian Global Moderator Sonic Boomer Joined: Jul 2000 Posts: 48,412 near Yosemite	I found this online about finding the treasure; spoilers ahead: Click to reveal.. Go to the Smuggler's End Pub and click on the upstairs dartboard. Hastings will immediately make a deduction that he never could make before. On your way to the island summit, you must pick up a shovel that was never there before. After you reach the tennis court, pick up the green tennis ball that is indistinguishable from the grass it's sitting in. Then head to town and ask the pub owner where the real summit is. Then back to the island, go to the new summit, and pick up some darts. Now go to the downstairs dartboard and insert the darts into the groove on the upper quadrant of the dartboard. (Having fun doing completely random things yet?) Next, enter the tunnel and click the spatula on the upper half of the wall to your left. ...Just kidding! Observe the footprints and pick up the coat lying on the ground. Q: What do I need to go further into the tunnels? A: You can't yet, despite Poirot's task list commanding you to find the treasure. Just head back upstairs. Q: What the- All that and Act Four STILL isn't over, and I still have no idea what I'm supposed to do! A: Have you done your daily watching for U-boats yet?

gillann OP Addicted Boomer G Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,208 no. California	I've just read two different WTs and am thoroughly confused. MaG's WTs are always spot on...The spot to find the treasure, which Poirot still refused to dig for, is supposed to be near the path to the Rocky beach where Miss Brewster hangs out. The other WT had Poirot digging near the Bathing Beach...So far, he's been to the tennis court, picked up the green ball but refuses to dig anywhere...There is no action indicated. I've had all of the conversations with the owner of the Monks Hood pub, and everyone else, but can't get Poirot to dig!

gillann OP Addicted Boomer G Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,208 no. California	He has only paced off the area near the Summit/tennis court. He found the green ball at the left of the entrance to the court, and Hastngs remarks about a spot that looks soft, or something, but Poirot does not respond, and does not dig there. I believe he's supposed to dig and find nothing.That the real spot is near the path to the Rocky Beach. I don't have the darts, yet. Help!

gillann OP Addicted Boomer G Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,208 no. California	I've spoken to the bartender several times...can't remember, but he may have mentioned the summit in an earlier dialogue. Now, Poirot asks if the dog is not back yet. No further conversation about the summit. Bagley is mad that they used Baskerville on the mean cat! At the tennis court Hastings remarks about the low place on the court, but there is no digging anywhere around there, and Poirot does not leave the scene. Where on the court is he supposed to dig? Can't get him to move on the real summit.

The first time I played this game years ago, I breezed through. This version seems to escape me! Thanks, MaG...I'll go back and recheck.

Double check that you have selected the binoculars correctly so that an icon of them is showing in your cursor before you click on the cog. Be sure also that you are clicking on the cog and not a different section of the window where the binoculars won't work. If there's nothing interesting to see out of any window view, then nothing will happen and Poirot will just make a general comment.

gillann OP Addicted Boomer G Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,208 no. California	I've decided to go back to the beginning and start over. I've also decided that this version is abbreviated. In the first scene at Poirot's office, he talks about the stories he will tell Hastings and their ties to the crime. In this version, the stories are not told. Too, the scene with Christine Redfern where she's sketching and remarks about Blatty and his red-sailed boat, and Patrick out swimming neither are shown. There are a few more missing scenes throughout the game. I'll give it all another try! Thanks for all of the help.

gillann OP Addicted Boomer G Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 1,208 no. California	Thanks, MaG. Breezed through Act 1 without a glitch. Began Act 2. Poirot back in his hotel room with Gladys the maid. She mentions new towels, P. and H. remark that she still seems put out. Poirot goes to the bathroom and takes the towels re: the WT. He exits room, and per the WT he is to remove certain items from Glads's cleaning cart. Neither Gladys nor the cart are there! Here we go again!
