First, make sure you have inspected the dragon head on the right and then take the katana. Then use the katana on the window on the left and open the window. After doing that, you should be able to see the shadow of one of the Master's hands on the wall. Add the number of fingers that you can see on the shadow to your own entry and then give the total number. So, for example, if John is holding up one finger and the Master is holding up one finger, the answer would be two.

hi Marian, i am enjoying playing Yesterday game and in general, Magtro's walkthroughs are more than excellent and well put together although somewhat misleading. it seems there is a ton of walkthroughs out there but is Mag's the best for Yesterday? i rely on a W/T so could you recommend one to follow from the blind master to the end please? SORRY, MAG, i am not criticizing your good work! robert.

I'm glad you are enjoying the game, Robert.

Here is another Yesterday walkthrough for you to look at, if you wish:

There's nothing wrong with referring to more than one source; I do it myself at times.

hi Marian, i have restarted the game. Make a plank walkway - i don't see any decorations on the meditation door. am i in the right place? robert.

I can't be sure, but that walkthrough I linked you to says that using the razor, you unscrew the monster faces on the meditation door. So, if you aren't seeing anything like that on the door, I would think that you are probably not in the right place. Also try looking over this page again; I believe that these pictures reflect approximately where you are in the game.

The meditation door is the door of the room where the blind master is located.

hi Mag/Marian, i there a video or youtube i can watch to clear up my questions please? robert.

Robert,

I don't know about a video right now.
Try this; as stated above - in far view use the razor on that door.
See what items you get in inventory.
Then continue with the walkthrough.

Here's a 30-minute video that includes your playing the number games with the Master; maybe this will help, too:

Yesterday video walkthrough

thanks for the video W/T Marian. it answered many questions and got me over the 'hump'. i can now go ahead, robert.

I'm very happy to hear that, Robert. Very good news.

thanks for the kind words Marian, but i am confused! MaG's W/T under section 'Get a truth flower' says TAKE a katana from the dragon yak. i already have a katana in inventory! have i erred somewhere? robert.

Looking at the walkthrough for that section of the game, I think you will be fine. It looks like you are making good progress. As long as you have a katana in your inventory (and you already do), you should be all set.

hi Marian, can i take a katana from the dragon yak in ADDITION to the katana i already have in inventory? robert.

Take it, Robert. Keep us posted.
