MaG is away for a while today, robert, so I'll attempt to answer your Q. If MaG's walkthrough doesn't specify a particular question that should be asked, or to warn against a question that you should not, then it's entirely up to you. If you feel more comfortable asking questions top to bottom, then do that. At least that way you won't miss anything.

Hi robert, I believe this is approximately where you are in the game, starting with someone having broken the antenna to the radio. Read this over and see if you can figure out how to proceed: Check the radio and see that someone broke the antenna.
Trapped in Stones
The trap (triggered by opening the professor's compartment):
Go to the freight car. Talk to Legrand about the purse and then the professor.
The lights go out. An envelope is on top of the safe. It has a black feather in it and a letter addressed to Nico. Legrand opens the safe and then the box. It's a bomb!
Zellner quickly throws the bomb to the back of the train and pulls the 2 men out. He closes the door. The bomb goes off.
Uncouple the freight car:
Legrand issues orders. Oliver is to go to the engineer; Legrand will take care of the passengers while Zellner uncouples the freight car. (Achievement Survivor obtained).
Read the notebook for updates.
Check damage: Go outside. Examine the damage on side of freight car. Have you now read your notebook for updates? Have you gone outside and examined the damage on the side of the freight car?

Robert, Let's check the sequence that should happen inside that freight car. - You talk to Legrand. - Light goes out. - See a cutscene of the envelope on top of the safe and Legrand reading it and opening the safe. Zellner throws the bomb and it explodes. - The cutscene continues and Legrand issues the orders. - After that you are back in control and you should go outside the car and check the danmage. You should be between the 2 cars now. It looks like you have not seen the cutscene yet and still in the dark. -------- If you have done the above - to uncouple the train - you have to collect items first. Continue with the walkthrough to see which items and how to get them.

I can't be of much help here, I'm afraid. According to the walkthrough: Take the curtain from right side window.
Look at the overturned chair of the last left table. See that there is a fire extinguisher on the floor here also. Can you see the right side window, the left last table, or the overturned chair? That might help you get oriented as to where you are.

I am not sure why that is happening to you, but let's go over the steps of the walkthrough one by one: Stop the train:
Go to next car. Try to enter the Baroness' compartment.
Archeologist compartment: Enter the next compartment. Check the gin bottle on shelf.
Explore the corner compartment. Look at the mirror. Examine and take the towel.
Turn on the tap. Use the towel on running water of the tap to get wet towel.
Sitting area car: Go to next car. Check the emergency brake on the wall middle of the open doorway.
See an axe just behind the glass doors of the sitting room car and left of the emergency brake. Take the axe.
Pick up Zellner's book from the floor beside the chair at right.
Coal tender door: Go to the end of the car.
Since the emergency brakes are now known not to work, open the door. Ouch!
Use the wet towel on the door. It is locked.
Take the axe Zellner laid down on floor and then use it on the door.
Open the door and Zellner crawls to escape the smoke above him.
Uncouple the cars: Examine the coupling. Turn the lever. It's not working.
Use the axe beside Zellner. Release the lever with the help of the axe.
If you have a saved game before "stop the train," maybe you could reload that save and play through this part again. Otherwise, maybe MaG can give you some additional advice. Wish I could be of more help.

Hi robert, let's look over the walkthrough together:
Cargo Hold: It is dark here. Look around. There's a cylindrical object at left. Take the flashlight. Use the flashlight with the room. Check the red convertible.
Chest: Go to the back of the room and see the chest.
Examine the suspicious chest at left foreground. Open the chest. It is empty.
Go back to bottom right of the screen to the car and stairs.
Shards: Examine the shards by the foot of the stairs. Hear another sound. Zellner is hit on the head.
There is a video here - go to around 22:45 minutes; it shows what happens after you get the flashlight - maybe this will help.

Hi robert, according to the walkthrough: Search the cargo hold: Go to the back room. Examine the white bulkhead door. Try to open the bulkhead door at left.
Go back to the front area by car. Examine the cell under the stairs, chairs and lockers.
Examine the crate at right and see it has a bullet hole. Examine the bullet hole. It needs to be examined later.
Examine the pipe by the car and shards. Take the bloody pipe.
Go upstairs and try to open the door. Open the door with the pipe. Leave the cargo hold. Have you done everything above prior to trying to take the pipe?

I need help, the lock puzzle is driving me nuts! Are all of the posts supposed to be pushed up evenly. The lock looks like brass and steel but which parts are supposed to be at the same height?

Thanks Marian. That wasn't a lot of help because the description was not exactly correct, at least not as I read it. However I did finally got it. Perhaps because I was so irritated at the poster for his rudeness to the previous poster that needed the help. Fifty lashes with a wet-noodle would not be sufficient for him. Terri

Robert, When you are first inside the ship, you will have stairs on your right, entryway to the bar in front of you and exit to outside on your left. If you press the space bar, it should also show you exits; aside from hotspots.

Hi Robert, I would just do the following, as the walkthrough describes: Get a sachet - cotton swab left of the dropper and Petri dish-glass bowl. That seems to be all that is relevant at this time.

Hi Robert, try watching this video and see if it helps. The canopic jars sequence starts at around 1:15, which will take you afterwards to examining the board.

Hi Robert, you're making good progress. If you watch this video, starting at around 22 minutes 15 seconds, I believe this will help clarify the part of the game that involves the ventilation shaft.

Have you followed these steps exactly? Look around. Look at the blanket on the cell floor. Examine the bars.
Examine the hinge of the cell door twice. Adil can't pull or push the bolt of the hinge out.
Examine the board right of the red hose wheel. The board has a nail.
Use the blanket with the board with a nail. Automatically, Adil removes the nail from the board.

I hope my memory is functioning. The museum director talked to you at the start of the museum chapter. He is out there looking for Grace. Later - I believe, you find out that Grace is a dog (or it is the other way around: find out she's a dog and later learn her name is Grace).

Try pressing your space bar to reveal all active hotspots onscreen -- that should show the skylight if you're having difficulty spotting it.

If there is no skylight for you to observe, I'm wondering if you missed checking the skylight earlier in the game. Here is the relevant section from the walkthrough, a portion which you would have done previously - the skylight is mentioned in the last sentence: Open door to basement:
Get to roof: Exit the museum. Go to side street.
Examine the fire ladder on the wall twice.
Enter the van and release the handbrake. Exit.
Push the van backwards. Climb the ladder.
Roof-skylight: Look around. Check the skylight that looks down to the treasure chamber.

In the Raven, I am in Patricia's room and I can't exit. the bathroom is on the right and that is the only hotspot that lights up. I had this the first time I went into the room and I couldn't get out, so, I went to a saved game and didn't go in there until now again. I went to youtube and found this gameplay and at about 3150 they show how she gets out but, maybe I am missing something, but, I can't leave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fHtBqBfr4Aedit: I found out on GOG that others had this problem and switched their settings to 1280 x 768 or something and when I did that, the hotspot to exit the room came up. so, it is solved! Thanks.

If there is only one coal car door in the game, you visited this door previously in this part of the game: Coal tender car: Go to the rear of the car. Study the map on the wall twice. It shows the Orient Express route. Check the door to the coal tender car. Go back to Lady Westmacott. If this doesn't help, please let us know.

Right, I only commented upon that because where you are now, the walkthrough says: Follow the butler and talk to him completely. His real name is Clive Alfred Inch. The notebook states that James has a lame arm received during the war. Check the coal car door. I don't know anything about the game apart from what the walkthrough says, so maybe someone else will be able to clarify this step.

In order to talk to Dr. Gebhardt about the gloves, you need to: Check the prints on the window of Prof. Lucien's compartment - you should have a conclusion that there are 2 prints that might have been made by a gloved hand. Then ask the doctor about his gloves. See if you are able to do this now.

Other than looking over the walkthrough from the precise point where you feel like you went astray, checking to make sure that there aren't any other steps that you might have missed, I can't really be any more specific than that. You could try watching the video walkthroughs again on YouTube, although you will neeed to search around a bit to find the point at which you want to begin watching: The Raven: Legacy of a Master Thief Video Walkthrough

Not necessary for a new game. - Open notebook. - Open the tab "content" and see a table of contents. - Click on them to open the place you want to read.

My saves will not work for you then. My saves are labeled - rabe-3 and rabe-3.ksg
Be sure that you have talked to Lucien completely. Try and see.

Robert, I am now confused (nothing out of the ordinary). Are you not on the train? As for the saved game - maybe someone else has a saved game for you. But I thought (maybe wrongly) that all saved game files of this game is labeled "rabe". Please check the Raven folder again.

According to MaG's walkthrough: Notebook has content, notes and secrets that are accumulated during gameplay. There's the table of Contents. Notes have observations. Secrets have tasks that needs to be done in the game and hidden hints that can be bought with adventure points. It sounds like both the Notes and the Secrets tab would be helpful in this regard.

The tab on the left is the "table of contents". - It has the list of the entry that are in the notes. - Click on a title (content) and it will automatically go to the title that are in the notes part. The tab on the right is the notes. - Here are the entries that are in the table of content. - It has all the thoughts of Zellner about the different characters and clues. - It can be accessed by clicking on the table of contents. The tab at bottom shows the secrets. - This is to access the hints. - If you use hints; points will be deducted. -- So to update yourself, read new info added to any of the characters or clues. It was recommended that you read the notebook since the start of the game to give background and know why you are doing certain actions.

This is from the walkthrough: Main Hall: At the foyer, go to bottom screen to be at the main hall. Displays: Examine the showcase at bottom left to learn about desert glass.So from the foyer - go to bottom screen. Now you will be at the main hall. You can now check all the active display cases.

AS stated in the walkthrough - Zellner writes the words down. Exit the basement and go to the main hall and go to the entrance. Zellner automatically goes to the director. Talk to Director Mokhtar. He will give you the meaning and other info. Once you have done this; go back to the jars and examine the board right of the jars. Now you can identify the heads. As for which position - Go to the stone sarcophagus at right by the stairs. It will tell you the cardinal directions associated with those heads.

I think you missed doing something earlier. Did Matt do the toy gun prank with Zellner already? Here is a video walkthrough. Start at around 33 minutes on.

thank you for the video MaG but it doesn't resemble your W/T. it shows a ball of wool and a wrench none of which are in your W/T. is this meant to help? i find it confusing. robert.
