Ugh puzzles drive me insane. Any clues on how to solve the code key you get in BS1: DC?

Hi Mag
Yes, that's the one. What do you mean by frequency and location? I just tried substiting the first letter for A, second for B etc, but it didn't yield anything worthwhile. Is there a pattern to it?

This is a cryptogram puzzle. In English language, the one letter words are: I and A. So if you see a symbol in the code that is just one symbol forming word - chances are it is I or A. As mj2c mentioned - in words that are made up of several symbols; the more often the symbols are found might be deduced that they are vowels (a, e, i, o or u). Then you deduce if that is so or try them and see if a word is formed. Then if a 2 similar symbols are side by side; they might be those letters that are commonly seen in English words: tt, ll, oo...

Oh, this is bloody...I thought that "surely this is way too complicated for them to put in the game", but I guess they did. I will try some more tonight, hopefully I will get it right.

Well, I managed to get it right. It wasn't that hard after all. I was just going to "see what happens", and I ended up completing 55% of the game (according to the counter). This is the farthest I have ever gotten in an adventure game without a walkthrough; I'm quite proud of myself. I'm stuck now at Montfaucon, though. I have no idea how to get rid of the cop outside. Do you have any tips? (I don't want to check a walkthrough; I might risk spoiling the game for myself)

Hi Drizzt,
Quick tip: Red noses can be useful.

Hi, Don't worry, I'm keeping away from walkthroughs. Thanks, Rushes, but I still don't know what to do with it...I'm stuck.

In Montfaucon, the policeman should be sat at a table outside a cafe. A manhole cover should be set in the ground away to his right, with a juggler standing close by to it, juggling. Is this where you're at? Maybe describe your surroundings so we can tell. I haven't played the Director's Cut, so I'm not sure if there are differences?

Yes, that's exactly where I am, but there is no juggler there. Hmm...

Well, it seems I could also go to Spain, so I guess I will do this first. Maybe the juggler and crowd will turn up after that. Now I'm stuck trying to get past that gardener. I put the blood pressure device on the water hose, but I can't find a way to sneak past him. Maybe that suit of armor has something to do with it. And it sounds like a goat when I try to use the manhole tool on it for some reason, I just noticed. No idea why.

Yes, the armour will help. If you can get the dogs to bark and then hide behind the armour, that should distract Lopez to allow you to go upstairs. I don't remember the goat sound. I need to replay this game.

One thing I didn't quite get though; In the ending sequence, who is the guy that shoots the man about to shoot you? I can't recall him.

Drizzt, I just watched the ending on your Tube here.I didn't see anyone shooting any baddie. Eklund catches both of them. Then the Grand Master came. At the end Guido was holding the gun and was ordered by the Grand Master to kill them.

Well, it seems in the original version it's a knife thrown (in DS it's a shot) but I think it's actually Rosso, I thought he was the grandmaster first. But I guess the bald guy is Rosso.
