dracula 3 the path of the dragon

stuck in the alcove books and all that but when i click to go out i can't it said i have something to do before i can leave .what do i have to do ? i have tried to do the runic anthology but no luck.send help soon...please.

My suggestion would be to reload a game prior to doing the alcove section and follow along with the walkthrough to see what you might have missed. Otherwise, it's difficult for me to say what you might have missed.

thanks for your help.

I hope you can get it figured out. If not, maybe someone else will have a better suggestion for you.

Do you have the 3 books found at the alcoves in your documents?
If not you have not finished checking the books Irina wanted you to read.

what would be the 3 books be ?

Try looking at MaG's walkthrough and see if that helps...

thats the walkthrough i have been useing.is there something i 'm missing ?i checked off every move i have made .still can't get out .

Do you have the 3 books in your documents inventory? If you do not, then you have missed something.

i have no books, now what ? i have played this before and had no problems at all but this time yikes can't get the books .i just might have to get a saved game after this spot.

The books are not in inventory but are in the documents. See if there are book titles there.

If you don't have them; replay from before you went to the alcove. Then follow the walkthrough.
Check the chart in the walkthrough.

Have you checked your documents inventory? Oops! I see MaG already mentioned that.

thanks for your patience , now after i go into the alcove and go to the book case and then to the book shelf and the book i want what letters do i click on ? the A T E and A is all that i have clicked on now what ? i see nada in documents about books ,what are there names ?

It is explained in the walkthrough.

Irina wants you to read specific books.

- The clue on how to find the books are shown on the tab in the books already out on the table.
- The 4 clues Irina left are the 4 Latin words written using her blood - ARMA, SUNT, INDE, MALA.
- There are 5/five alcoves in the library. You have to search all 5 for the books.
- Using one of the clues; (based on the tab on the books on the table) - select the first letter of the clue and then look for the alcove which has the same letter at the end of the Latin phrase of that alcove.
- Then using the next letter on the clue, find the book case in that alcove that has the second letter at the end of the Latin phrase of that book case.
- Then using the third letter on that clue, find the book shelf in that book case that has the third letter at the end of the Latin phrase of that shelf.
- The fourth letter will then be the book you want since each book has a letter.

If you want the answer without deducing all of these; go to the chart in the walkthrough.
- Go to the alcove with the Latin phrase on first row.
- Then go through the column and find the book case, book shelf and then the name of the book. CLICK on the book or empty space.

thanks , so I need to just go into 1 of the 4 alcoves -like ad astra per aspera andclick on book case then book shelf and then click on letter A and so on t,e and a - and the books runic anthology ,the funeral of patroclus and iphigenela's sacrifice will be in my documents ? right .

No. You have to go to the 4 alcoves out of 5 to get the 3 books. The one in Astra is not there but you have to go through the motions to find out.

After Astra, do Felix, Nil admirari and Nil Nimium.

thank you so much,now when i go in to the alcoves and find the book do i use the letters in the walkthrough - A,T,E AND R ?

If you are in the correct alcove - then click on the book on the correct book case.
The letters A, T, E and A are the books to be clicked on the correct book case (in the correct alcove).

thank you ,i will try that. well none of that worked and i have no books. now what ?

As mentioned - the books are in documents (not inventory). Did you check there and look for the titles?

There's saved games here.

thanks for the save game, i down loaded the the save game part i wanted ,what do i do now ? i can't find the game dracula 3: any place in my computer .what do i do now?

Did you install the game from a physical CD or from a download?

yes from a CD .

I should have asked this question before, but what operating system are you running the game on? Is it Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10?

And did you try looking for a folder called Kheops? You might need to look for that rather than the name of the game.

1-USING WINDOWS 7, i have the the save down loaded that i got from you guys ,but what do i have to do to get it to the right place ?

Did you get it from the site posted?

If so - check if it is compressed. If so - unzip it.
Then look for the saved game folder.
Try looking also at My Documents or C - Program Files (86.
Then look as Marian mentioned - Kheops or Adventure Company - Dracula 3\Users\Profile1\

yes I did,unziped it,i-I looked in saved game folder -my doc and program files(86 and all of the otheres nada.odd huh . the funny thing is I have the other dracula game in there . but not this one ..odd huh.

Check here: C:\Microids\Dracula 3\Users\Profile1 -

that don't work..i think that i will get rid of it and reinstall it . thank you so much ..well it looks like i'm on a marry go round,same thing .....like day 1 all over again.yikes.should i just play out this game and see what happens ?? i still have the save game .

restarted game and guess what it worked ! off and running like wild dog..

That is very good news.

thank you for all your help,

You are very welcome - MaG deserves all the credit in this instance, though! She is far more knowledgeable about most of the games discussed here than I am.

Yes thanks MaG for sure. now i have a quick question- back in the Dispensary need to take my blood,i opened the refrig cabinet now i need the bottle 815 to put in the middle shelf. but i don,t have it ! what do i do now ?send help soon please ....

Is this where you are?

According to the walkthrough:

yes this is where iam so i have to redraw my blood again to get bottle 315 ? thanks I think I,M the right track now

Good luck.

yikes,I got all the blood samples -310 -815 now can,t place them in the microscope !! what do i do now ?do i have to do them 1 by 1 and not 1 after an other ?

It looks to me like you need to do them one by one.

thanks i will do that !!

restarted and redid the 1st one #310 in sampler and did all that but now can't take the test tube to place it on the microscope now what do ok i got that fingered out, but now after i got the filament in the scope and all that I can't get the test tube out of the sampler ....what gives ????

Is this where you are? Here is what the walkthrough says:

yes this is the place . and after i look through the scope and get the info to put in the blood test report papers i can't take the test tube out of the sampler ...tired of washing my hands..

Did you do the second parameter on that sample?
You have to do 2 parameters per sample.
Then you can do the next sample.

thanks for the info, i didn 't know that . so how do i do that ?

It's in the walkthrough. It's below the first parameter section and the pictures.

ok I entered all the data and he said not right ? should I start over ?

Might be best to start the test.

thanks ,so I will restart @ the 1st parameter,glad I saved at that point.....

Good luck!

thank,got that done now back at the inn,talked to Ojana now to find Janus room can't find the desk??? can't find room

I think it's the first room on the left upstairs.

yes it is the 1st few times I just knock ,now ready to decode Janos messages.thanks for your help.

You're welcome. Enjoy.

stuck again,at the part with the photographic paper , when done i hung up on line above table.but when i go to study the picture it turned black ??what do i do now .I have redid it 3 times ..what now ? how do I study the picture ? how do I know when it is dried ?

Check this; http://www.gameboomers.com/forum/ubbthre...gon?#Post457201

ok I think I know what I need to do now,I messed up at the 1st part of the developing room so i will have to go back and redo from there ...

Good luck. The only advice I can give you at this point is to read over the walkthrough carefully.

Boy U got that right!

I think I spend at least a couple of days in this part... carefully and step by step would be my advice!

ok a quick question - when it sez to put photo paper in tray 1 for 12 sec how close does that have to be ? do i have to use a stop watch ?

It probably needs to be fairly close. You could use a stopwatch, but counting aloud should work too.

ok now when I pick up paper from tray one and put it in tray 2 - 2sec later it turns black.and i pick it up after 7 sec and he sez no good got to trash it ????? whats going on ?

How are you doing with the game? It appears that a lot of people had trouble with this part.

There is a video walkthrough here.

And if you need a saved game, you can find some here.

This is the part where I spent about 2 days in the game trying to get this right! So you are not alone here.

marian I checked out the video and when he puts the paper in the 1st tray it was longer than 12 sec...just in case how do i down load the saved game ? i think it is 066 but i don't know how to down load it...

Well, whatever works for you, right? The guy who did this video said he thought this part of the game could be a little buggy. I guess you will have to experiment.

Instructions for downloading the saved game can be found earlier in this thread - check it out.

thank you so much for your patience ,i did go to the place for saved games just in case , but I like to do the game with out a save . just me...

I know what you mean - I feel the same way.

BTW I dug deeper into this part and found out that up don't need to count when you put the paper into the bath !! as soon as you put the paper in a few sec's it changes color pick it up and hold it in the air for 2-3 sec's then go on to the next bath and repeat..what do U think of that...

That's very interesting - good to know!

Glad you found that out - that part of the game drove me nuts!

ok got past that part but when i leave the dispensary and go up to luana she said that the time has not come i need to know my enemies are, ok what did i miss ??

Did you do all of this?

ok, I studied the dried picture and looked at the trident,pi and ladder,went back to shed and put wires in the right spots.exit despensary, but the rest nada. is he suppose to say that??

I don't think so - I think that the information is there for the story line.

so what do I do now ??

Maybe this video will help you out. You are in the dispensary when it starts but it also includes talking to Luana.

thanks I have watched this , when I went into the room and checked every thing on the desk and go to the chair he don't say ant thing ,is there something I missed at the desk???

I looked around and found this thread from Big Fish. There are several suggestions in this thread for those who talk to Luana and she replies saying that you need to know who the enemies are. Try looking over the suggestions and see if there is something there that you might have missed that you can do.

looks like I'm not the only one that has problems with this game ! I just keep going back and checking every thing but this has me stumped .

Yes, this seems to be a difficult point in the game (although very little of it looks easy to me). And apparently the game is nonlinear in that the walkthrough shows just one way of getting through the game and you can do things in a different order. That makes it very hard for me to determine what you might have missed.

It's a pain, but I would suggest reading over the WT step by step to see what you have not done. And make sure that you have done everything that is mentioned in that Big Fish thread.

I agree with what Marian said. I actually have a game of this one on my computer which I can't finish because I missed one little thing and now I am unable to go back and complete the task. I finally had to give up. But trying one more time with a step-by-step approach might unearth some tiny little thing you missed.

I have played this game 3 times before,1st time 2008 only took me 18 days to finish,2nd time 36 days,but this time I have run into alot of stumpes , and it looks like this last one if i get it right and get luana to help me there's another road block just around the corner.the last time I played it was 2013 and I nad no problems at all..

Same here, deleterman. First time when it was first released, I didn't run into any problems at all. But the replay I tried to do last year was awful!

Yah what gives ?? it looks like a lot of other player's have had the same problems.

It's a hard game deleterman. I've played it twice with problems both times.

Your persistence amazes me!

Yeah I'M like a dog looking for that bone LOL.

well i just restarted Dracula 3 down loaded from GOG ,question wow do i get it to full screen ?

Please post this question in the Glitches forum; someone there should be able to help you out.

Please don't tell me you're going to replay it from the beginning.

yes I'm ! cool huh ?

Not cool for me. I would not want to redo that library puzzle or the blood test puzzles again or the photo stuff.

You ARE good!

I'm with you oldbroad! Good puzzles, but done once and never again! Deleterman is a rock...

I guess i will take a brake from this game for now i have a few others i would like to play 1st..
