I don't think it is necessary in progressing in the game. It is part of the storyline. You can continue on. Have fun.

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:

Quote:
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. luck

Read all of them and then when you need an update - just read the ones you haven not read yet.

I can't be of much help here, I'm afraid. According to the walkthrough:

Quote:
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.

Be sure that you are in the correct car. This is the dining area car.
Also move around and see if the positioning helps in locating the extinguisher.

hi Marian, does it matter if i don't exactly follow the strict order of the W/T? for instance, what if looking for the extinguisher i go to the next car? will it disturb things? robert.

I don't think it will disturb anything if you are just looking for the extinguisher. The game looks pretty linear to me, so that should be okay.

hi Marian, at Stop the train - i cannot pull the emergency brake as i don't see any pull-cord nor pick up Zellner's book as i don't see any pick up icon. do these really matter to the game? robert.

Looking at the walkthrough, it doesn't seem to me that you are able to do anything with the emergency brake at this point other than look at it, so you should be okay there. You are, however, supposed to be able to pick up the book, so perhaps there is something that you haven't done at this point to trigger being able to pick up the book; I am not sure whether picking up the book is important to the game or not. Have you gotten the axe? Do you have a wet towel?

hi Marian, a very strange thing happens i cannot explain why. on one screen i have the axe. the next, as called for in the W/T, it's gone. when i use the wet towel on the hot door, there's no axe! hopefully you can explain. robert.

I am not sure why that is happening to you, but let's go over the steps of the walkthrough one by one:

Quote:
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.

Look down on the floor and see the axe.

Hi robert, let's look over the walkthrough together:

Quote:


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.

I started on the game and have been saving but when I go back the save is before I quit and saved. Any one else had this problem? Also, this has got to be the slowest moving game I've ever played, not sure I will finish it! wave

Terri,

If the saved game is done when in a puzzle or in zoomed in mode - it will not take.
If it is regular screen action saved game - then might be best if you post at Glitches forum.
