Barrow Hill The Dark Path

Its been too long since I've played an adventure game. I can't figure out what to do after lighting the candle? Thanks.

I printed out the WT, something I've rarely done.

Hi TLC,

There's a path going to the back of the station. It is a hole on the wall by the swing. Go there and a new area to explore. Have fun!

Hi MaG, Thanks. I'll have to do that tomorrow. Already shut down the laptop.


I'm stuck again, I can't find the office.

If you already jumped down to the lower area to the back of the garage, the office is diagonal top left from where you landed.
You jumped down - over the fence where the tires are piled up.

I'll have to look later, Thanks MaG.

to you too MaG.

I am stuck again. I'm at the Find Olly section, I can't find the 4 way crossroad sign.

After you exit the quoit, turn left and go forward. I think 2 clicks forward.
You will see several road signs - not one specific sign. These signs shows the other paths in the crossroads.
Have fun.

When I turn left, I can't go foward? Or do I back up from the quoit first? Thanks MaG.


Well that didn't work. When I go left, I can't go forward, unless I go left again. Then I'm totally stuck to where I can't move at all.

Do you have the flashlight? It's dark in that path.

--
As soon as you step through the opening of the Quoit, turn left.
One click forward, then use flashlight. :)

Yes, I have the flashlight. But I have to turn left twice to use it, then I eventually get stuck.

Be back.
Making a screen to show you.

---------------


You get here one click forward after the flashlight on.

The turn arrow at left goes back to quoit/station area.
The top left (see road sign) goes to picnic and 2 other areas.
The top arrow (see another road sign) goes to tree trunk area.
The right arrow takes a long path parallel to station and eventually to tower and road.

That helped, I can now see the phone booth ahead of me. This is a hard one!

Thanks, MaG.

to you and yours.

Ok, I got the power back on and went to the office, I don't see any orange edged paper under the monitor. Then pick up what phone?

This part is triggered if you have done:
- talked to Olly earlier at the Quoit.
- Seen the Groshawk Security sign with the phone number - 5557869 on the rock shelf at hole in wall during the Quoit part of game.
- Open the power electric box from key taken earlier from office.
- Got power back on at the office - kitchen. Have to do the power electric box.

Then read the monitor, get orange paper under monitor and use phone.
The phone receiver is close to monitor.

I decided to start the game over. This one is so difficult or I've been away from adventure games too long.

Good luck! It will work now that you know the locations. Enjoy!

It took me awhile too, TLC. I really loathe this kind of navigation. But once I figured out how to get to the individual locations - I made note of the landmarks to help - then it went much easier.

Has anyone else found the dead end, where ya can't move in any direction, and the only thing to do is exit the game?

No, I never found anything where I couldn't move at all. Where is this located?

See if there's something you're supposed to do with the phone.

Hard to tell where it is, its deep in the woods.

PS. I can't do anything at that point.

Send me a saved game and I'll see where you are.

If you got this from steam - see if the saved game folder is at: C:\Users\computer name\Saved Games\The Dark Path

Can you get to your inventory?

Hi MaG, Sent my save after I restarted the game. I bought the boxed version.

Draclvr, Yes, I tried that and used the phone. Then was able to move.

Do you still need me to check?

I just got the saved game. Was in la la land.
Then my steam decided to do 4 updates.
Be back.
--------------

The saved game I opened is in the garage.
- Check the work table to get a screwdriver and later do a puzzle.
- check the wall to see an electric plug schematic for a later puzzle.
- main thing is to raise that car.
- to do that, get power to that power box on the wall right of the car.
- you need to check the right wall in front of the car.
If you need more - tell me. Good luck.

Thanks MaG. I did those things, then got the computer up and running. During 1 clip I guided someone somewhere. Now I don't know what to do, I'm supposed to use the crowbar on a door with a dark path symbol, can't find it.

Remember the large power box you did the puzzle to get electricity? The door is beside it.
They are at back of that building.
You can get there via the path right of tower or go through the fence where your car is located.

I think that's why Jenny100 mentioned using your phone. Yay for you!

Draclvr, Now when I hear that sound, I check the phone. MaG, I can't find the back of the building now, where I got the power going, I keep ending up at the office area and can't find the fence to go through.

You have to walk the path from the crossroad at forest to get to the tower or road.
If you are down at the office - you are behind the the path of the forest and the other part of the station.
You got here by jumping down from the tires and fence and won't be able to go back up the fence.

How do I find the crossroad? Thanks.

If you are at the office, turn around to go through the fence and see the Quoit at left.
The crossroad is where you go right before the quoit opening. Then follow the way on previous post with a screenshot.
Go right on that crossroad.

Somehow I found the kitchen. Thanks MaG.

Great. Have fun in that infested kitchen.

Those flies were nasty. I'll be heading into the cafe, when I play again later. Thanks for your help MaG.

Anytime. Have fun.

Ok, I'm stuck again at the burned pagan wheel, where is the spot with the circles to turn?

I found the spot but the Crystal won't go in the center?


Never mind, duhhhh me was trying to put the crystal in the hole, not the key.

Glad you got through.

Now I keep getting lost trying to get to the phone booth, after Gus calls.

Where are you now?

If you are at the kitchen - exit to be outside by the large power box.
Go to the road or your car by going through the fence and swing set.
At the road - go left.

I'm outside the Quoit and facing where I'm supposed to go left. I keep messing up the turns, I guess.

Go back inside the quoit. Turn to exit again.
Click on opening once.
Turn left - forward - forward - right.
Go forward until you see the tower.
Go diagonal left and forward. See the phone booth.

Thanks. I think I keep missing the diagonal left. Off to try again.

Yeah it was the diagonal left, I kept missing.

You're getting there. Keep it up.

Make note of those landmarks... I learned to recognize a certain tree or sign to get to places. Otherwise I would have been lost all the time!

Thanks Draclvr.


What's supposed to happen at the old stump, when I do the shapes? If they're supposed to go to inventory, they don't.


Ok, got that done finally. I'm now at the part, of getting the glass ball pendant. I don't know where to go back out and through the woods. to get to the phone booth?

Are you sure you're getting the shapes done correctly? They won't go to inventory unless they are perfect.

I got that part done. Thanks. Now I'm stuck trying to find the phone booth after getting the glass ball pendant from Olly.

I never did like finding that phone booth!!
Maybe go back to the quoit and follow MaGs steps from there.

OMG, I finished the game. Thanks so much everyone for your help.

Congrats, TLC!

It sounds like it can be a tricky game to navigate.

Thanks Marian. It sure is a tricky game, those woods drove me nuts.

Great! Hope you enjoyed it.

Thanks MaG. I did enjoy it between the stuck spots.

Good for you, TLC!

Thanks Draclvr. I decided to replay it.
