It's easy to tell if you're having a Good or Bad day.

Go into your inventory area. The bottom of the left pillar has the selected zodiac sign and shows that day's horoscope, good or bad. This changes often, so keep checking back to it as you come up against the different puzzles.

thanks Rushes, i got to the roof. robert.

Great!

hi Rushes. can i tell if i correctly entered each gorgon name - Greek alphabet? robert.

Yes:

Enter the names of the 3 Gorgons by pressing on the Greek letters. Verify the letter by the label at top right of the screen.
The letters on the floor do not repeat, so once it is pressed down, continue to look for the next letter to be entered. Thomas will say when the name is finished.

hi Rushes. i have jumped to Akkad's workshop and poisoned Kordax but his washbowl is crossed out and i cannot take it. where have i gone wrong? robert.

If Kordax is already asleep, then you are doing a "good day". You don't need the washbowl then. You need the washbowl if you';re doing "bad day" and have to make a new poisoned washbowl.
Continue on:
Open the bag on the floor and take the heliotrope and half of Akkad's crown.
Take the horn and automatically blow the horn.
Go back to Iris and talk to her.

thank you very much, Mag. robert.

hi Mag. i would like to replay, about where Kordax is poisoned and falls asleep, to get my play right, but i keep overshooting the mark. i find the 'slider' to go back several games to be very imprecise. is there an easier way without asking for a saved game? robert.

Are you referring to the scroll bar to select the saves in the saved game list?

If so, is there an arrow? I can't remember what the "load page" look like.

Can you tap instead of click-hold-move?

hi Mag. Ah, the scroll bar - i wasn't sure what it was called. anyway, tapping the scroll bar gets me nowhere so i got back to Kordax by sheer trial and error. i followed the w/t but the slab was not recessed and i didn't see a circle made up of astrological signs which tells me i have done something wrong. can YOU tell please? robert.

Did you do this first:

Go to the back of the structure. See a barge with 2 men holding their hands out. Place the Aries medal on the right man and the Taurus medal on the left man. Hear a noise.

The recessed slab should then be at the front of the structure, close to the entrance.

thanks, Rushes, robert.

hi Rushes. how do i look at the frescoes on both sides of the structure when the program won't let me. robert.

Can you see it when you have the door on your back?
If you can see it, then continue to:
