Hi all, just hit a wall..trapped in the in the temple room trying to do this pentagram puzzle..any thoughts or hints on this? please send help soon..

The minute I saw your post, I knew it was the pentagram puzzle you were writing about. Real popular, that puzzle. If it will help, Kheops has a video on YouTube showing you how to do it.

Gil.

Thanks, Gil.

Let us know how it goes, deleterman.

Thanks for the help, I went to that sight and watched but when I try I get no solid blue line..?? what a'm I not doing right ?? ... update !! went back and tried again and again uptell I got it... thanks for all your help.

Yikes-back again,just hit a road block !!and I thought that the pentagram puzzle was hard..ok this is the deal- trying to do this blood testing on all the blood in the cabnet done,i got fresh blood and so on.and I think that I got all the steps right and entered into theblood test report but not so..now do I have to start over and redo from Dr.Kruger's research and re sterilize the medical equipment..and go on from there..??I don't know how to git rid of all the blood samples.and I think that starting over would be easier to do.that do you think ??

If I remember correctly, you can dump the experiment on the sink. See that is the one.

I don't think you need to sterilize afterwards, at least I don't remember doing it.

I went back and did just like you said ,It worked like a dream...thank you so much for all your help & patience.. now on to decoding..

Have fun then and enjoy the game.

back again.boy that didn't take long..trying to type in the codes on the decoder and after typing in about 15 or so I screwed up , now how can I undo It with out starting over ? and after some time I went into documents but didn't see any decoded message at all...it said in the w/t that after typing in 2-3 rows it would be in there ..what gives? please send help soon..

See if it is restarted; if you pull out of the puzzle and then come back.

Check this old thread to see if it helps.

thanks it worked out I think I got it..

Great!

just when things were working out great,bang hit a snag- ok I take the photo paper and drop it in the developer and count off 12 sec pick it up and drop it in the stop bath count off 7 sec pick up and put it in the last try and count off 7 sec and he sez this is ready for the trash...it goes on and on like this...what am I doing wrong ??? please send help soon...

This is a picky process.

Have you turned on the red light before doing the process?
Did you time it 12 - 7 -7 for each solution?
Are your solutions properly made?

thanks, that's a good idla ,can I redo the solutions ???

Yes - dump the solutions in the sink and start over.

Thanks, I went back and redid all solutions,all ok,now when I get to the last solution it starts to turn black after just about 2-3 seconds and if I count to 7 it is black as the ace of spades..any thought on that???

The middle tray should stop any reaction and the last tray fixes it.

Can you double check that solution in the last tray.

My saves are not labeled.

Hi, so you think it the solution in the last tray ..I will go back and check on it ..thanks.

back again,went back and started over at the dispensary..and when I got to the part of enlarging the micoflim I got out my stop watch..and used that for the time..guess what ? it worked..now off and running like a wild dog..thanks for all the help and patiences..until next time

yikes,just as I got out of the dispensary - and went up to talk to Luana the gypsy -got lost !!trying to get to the chaple.looking down to see the stele of lord Mircea xiii used as a bridge over the spring..my hesd is spinning ..after talking to the gypsy where do I go ???lost in space.. please send help soon..

Right across the gypsy is a path. Luana opened that path for you.
This is a crossroad - so take the path on the left with Luana on your right.

she sez that the time has not come and to know my enemies , something like that but I seeno place to go..

Ah - that means you have not done all that is necessary to proceed yet.

Chief posted this for a gamer that had your problem:
you need those: Maria's bloody shawl, ashes from a tomb beside a wild rose bush, also at the cemetery in Martha's mauseleum a ring, rose from the rose bush on the side of the road going to the castle, the forked slingshot from Ionel and berries found in front of the castle.

thanks for your info,i only have the bloody shawl, what are the rowan berries.? it looks like I need to do a lot of back tracking..this should take me some time..

They're the berries from the Rowan tree.
The tree is up at Castle of Twilight at the end of the road by the crossroad.

Thanks for the info, what should I try to get 1st on the list ??

The order doesn't matter.

Wow -went back and some of those items I never had a chanch to get but the bloody shaw..now what ?

You should be able to get them.

how far do I need to go back ?

This is the list:
Maria's bloody shawl, ashes from a tomb beside a wild rose bush, also at the cemetery in Martha's mauseleum a ring, rose from the rose bush on the side of the road going to the castle, the forked slingshot from Ionel and berries found in front of the castle.

So visit the cemetery and look for those that can be found there: ashes, ring.
Walk the road to the castle and get the rose; then pick the berries.
Talk to Ionel and see if you can get the slingshot.

thanks a million,i can't get in to Martha's mauseloum its closed..also can't get ashes ..now ionel want to trade for the slingshot, what do I have to trade ??he doesn't know..help!!

Ok went back and got in to Martha's mausoleum and got the ring and the cross.but can't get the rose.or the ashes.and I can't get the slingshot.any other thoughts..??

Rose: Use the knife to cut roses from the rose bush beside the grave of Luciana Hartner or from the bush on the left side of the road going to the castle.

Ashes: go to the tomb at the end beside a wild rose bush.
Use the shovel on the lid of the tomb. Take ashes from the body with a stake driven on the chest.

Slingshot:Go to Ionel again at the end of the road from the cemetery.
Give him the gramophone and in exchange, you can look in his treasure bag.
Take the forked stick-slingshot-hazel wand.

Thank you so much for that info..

Thanks ,I got everything but one thing ,I don't have the shovel ! how do I get a shovel ?? just got the slingshot from Ionel,now where do I go to get a shovel ?

From MaG's walkthrough:

Thank you so much for the info,now I have everything !now what do I have to do to get Luana to show me the way...still stuck.what do I do now ??

If you are at the point where Luana is saying to know your enemies first, here are some things to consider:

thanks ,I have recheck everything and the only thing is -to get to know my enemies and my friends.. any more thoughts on this ?

A lot of gamers have been stumped here. Usually, they miss clicking all active items and reading them in Janos' room and your room. Some have missed things in the Clinic.
Usually it is a leaflet that is tucked in the file in the drawer in Janos' room.
Be sure to also read everything you collected in documents.
Go back and click everything there.

----- Knowing your enemies means - learn through reading that they are your enemies and know what they have done.

Also make sure you have looked in Maria's closet where the dresses are hanging.

you guys are the best and thank you for your patiences..now something clicked and now off and running..

Have fun!

Hi,back again...ok this is the deal-doing the skull and hat puzzle,in the walkthrough I just can't see good..can you help me?and in the blood ,sweat and tears puzzle can that be reset ?

If you fail the blood, sweat, and tears puzzle and want to redo it, you just need to close all the gates.

ok I got that ,thank so much for all your help & patiences.. oh can you help me with the skull andhat puzzle ?

In this video walkthrough here, you will see the skull and hat puzzle. Make it full screen and hopefully you will be able to see it better. If this doesn't help, we can try to explain it more. This is a tough game - you are doing great.

That was a great help !! Y didn't I think of that .....duh.

well the vid was good I just had to do it my way..i played this game 5 years ago and this time it took me twice as long to finish it..thanks for all the help along the way. now on to what ???

Congratulations on finishing the game twice!
