Hi, everyone!

I've made it to Chapter 3 and am now trying to solve the 3 bowls puzzle in the tomb. So far, I've filled up the "strife" bowl and the "earth" bowl but, for the life of me, I can't figure out what to put in the "harvest" bowl. Richard is busy and Samuel doesn't want to bother either Eleanor or Louis.

There's a lock in the tomb that I probably should be doing something with, but the key to open it isn't on the keychain I swiped from Louis. Also, my cursor turns red when I run it over the contents of the drawer inside the abandoned house, but Samuel isn't interested in taking anything.

Thanks!

Susan, did you pick that kettle back up from the stove...

Hi, Jenny!

No, the kettle is still sitting there cooling off. Of course, I didn't right-click on it, so I'll give that a shot :-)!

Thanks.

Susan

Hi, Jenny!

Who would've thought that a kettle is "harvest" <G>! Now I'm staring at this fascinating altar puzzle that I don't have a clue what to do with. I hate slider puzzles at the best of times, but I've looked through William's journal and can't find anything that resembles this one.

Help!

Susan

Susan,

The kettle has water and it is for the old God of Water - I know you're grinning!

Check here for the Partial walkthrough Black Mirror - graphics for the slider.

Hi, MaG!

Oh yah! I'm just ROFL <G>! I scoured every inch of the estate looking for what I thought should be harvest (fruit, veggies, anything that would grow in the ground).

Thanks for the link to the walkthru. At least now I know what I'm aiming for. Slider puzzles and mazes are not my friends <VBG>!

Hi, MaG!

I finally solved the dreaded slider puzzle. I'm sure there's some sort of logic to solving those puzzles, but it sure escapes me. I always manage to solve them by dumb luck <G>!

I had just finished celebrating my success when I was rudely thrown out of the tomb. I eventually got back in again and Samuel was promptly beheaded. It was not a pretty picture :-)! At that point, I decided to pack it in for the night, so I'll tackle the tomb again today.

Susan

Hi, MaG!

I don't believe I read the inscription <sheepish grin>! I avoided the abyss and headed straight for the tomb :-)!

Susan

Hi, MaG!

I think you're confusing me with my husband <VBG>! I always read the instruction sheets on machines, and I usually read the game manuals, provided they're not the size of small novels.

When I resume "The Black Mirror" tonight, I'm gonna read every inscription and description in that tomb so poor Samuel doesn't lose his head again :-)!

I was complaining about the altar stones in Chapter 2, on which I worked for four days and gave up. Today my cleaning lady came in and solved it in less than five minutes. Hooray!!! Now I'm on that dreaded slider in Chapter 3. She's a whiz on those too. She'll be back in two days, but I'll keep trying in the meantime. Like Susie 07, I can't grasp the logic to them, and usually solve it my dumb luck. I just love this game. Teddo

Slider puzzle - there are 4 glyphs of the zodiac signs to show wher to start and how the rest are arranged. The zodiac signs are arranged in order around the perimeter starting from top left. Now as to how many steps to get them arranged. There were a lot and I got lost writing 2-3 steps somewhere. I might take the time to redo and add that and the white/black puzzle on the walkthrough. Well, depends on if I have the time -

That cleaning lady is one smart cookie! Ask her to write it down for me then!
