The Scroll: What is the Answer to the Riddle in the Catacombs?

Has anyone played The Scroll? It's the CD version of the game Daughter of Serpents. There are two character options, the Occultist and the Egyptologist. I started with Occultist, and now I'm stuck. I found a walkthrough that tells me to go to the lab and grab a flask and use it on the apparatus on the right. Then I have to go out and talk to the girl. I do all that and I can't talk to the girl. I decide to move on to the next step which is go to the catacombs, talk to the guy on the right and then give him a coin. I talk to the guy, and he gives me a riddle to solve: "There are two kinds of people. Those who save lives and those who destroy. Which one are you?" I don't have the answer to that. I try clicking on the guy and he repeats himself. I try to give him a coin but it doesn't work. What should I do? Here is the link to the walkthrough that I found. http://www.mogelpower.de/cheats/loesung.php?id=37842

I know a couple of GameBoomers members who played this game, but unfortunately it's been years since they have posted here.

I hope someone will be able to help you out. I couldn't find any walkthroughs apart from the one that you linked to. I will take a look at the walkthrough and let you know if I come up with anything.

Thanks Marian. I appreciate it.

I tried doing the Egyptologist role in the meantime and I got stuck. The walkthrough told me to go to an antechamber and check out the shenanigans. I did that part. Then it told me to go to the policeman. There is no way for me to get there. The game goes there automatically but nothing happened.

I found a YouTube video and I found out what I did wrong. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgvGmEa10Zc&index=3&list=PL0FD02E85C3D3FF18

Just in case it's of any help there's a walkthrough HERE

Cheers.

Glad you found a YouTube video - I did take a look at YouTube but didn't see that. Glad you got it figured out.

Thanks for the walkthrough link, Mad.
