Syberia

I'm stuck in the very beginning of this game already! I don't want to look at the walkthrough cause I'm afraid it might spoil the game for me. I'm outside of Kate's hotel. I have found the notary house. There's this mechanical head with arms which looks like it is guarding the house. Kate keeps claiming that the anamotran needs something in order for it to work. WHAT????????? I've looked up and down the street twice and searched Kate's room, thoroughly! Any hints would be great! Thanks! I'm in the little town of Validilene! Remember just hints!

Have you called your office on the cell phone to let them know what's going on? If so....you need to check in at the front desk of the hotel and see if you have any messages or faxes. Sometimes that sort of information can come in HANDY!

If this is the automaton that will let you into the notary's office, it would really like to look at something you have before it lets you in.

I will check back later to see if you need more hints.

I was a little confused here too. just remeber there are two parts of your inventory, one for objects and one for documents. You can pick up and use the documents, but you have to click on the 'hand' icon in the document screen, not the 'eye' icon. (otherwise you just look at the document).

Thanks, guys! I got past that part! I just got by the cutscene with Hans and Anna as little kids. I'm still in Valadilene in case you were wondering. I had Kate take the toy from its place after the cutscene ended. Now what? I'm hopelessly stuck here! Hints only!

Have you found Oscar yet? Check out the factory thoroughly........

Sorry I didn't inform you guys of this already. I already found Oscar, made him some feet and now Momo wants Kate to draw him some mammoths just like Hans did. Hmmmmmmmm.......a little help here. I think I've already explored all the nooks and crannies that Valadilene has to offer. I'm thinking I should go back to Momo and hand him the new toy I found so he'll tell me the secret he has. Will that work? Please let me know!

Kate is not much of artist, but she might be able to come up with something to satisfy Momo anyway. Stay in the attic. Look at stuff carefully. What you are seeking is difficult to see.

There are lots of "nooks and crannies" to find. Did you take your paper and pencil over to the light and turn it on? Just a hint!

and do you know how to do a 'rubbing'? It is lots easier than trying to draw what you need.
Love, Betty Lou

I got it all! Thanks, guys! Now, I just finished the beautiful train ride and landed at my first stop (The University). I went out exploring a little bit and went back to receive a message from Oscar. Should I ignore the message for a little bit and keep exploring the station or go ahead and go up to the leaders of the university? Hints only!

It doesn't matter. Explore all the areas and you will find things to do.

I am at the university town. I have run out of options, as my only source for the grapes has run off somewhere. These grapes are attractive to the Amerzone Cuckoos that dominate the station aviary. My question is this: Where do I send Kate now? How do I get out of this mess and on my way again? I am absolutely clueless on what to do here. Please help! Hints only! Thanks!

Mac, Have you ******SPOILER ALERT*********

Have you spoken to the Professor yet??? And those three stoogies??? There's something they want you to fix for them. Find the wall yet???
Maybe there's something that you have the Professor might be interested in. The train guy is never very far from you. And check in with Oscar every now and then.
Inferno

Seems to me you have to give the Station Master something to induce him to open the doors to the woods (forest, whatever) for you.

Gee, what could you give him?????what about that scam the 3 amigos have cooked up??? maybe you should talk to him about it.....on the bridge.
just a thought, mac.
Inferno

Thanks, guys! Got the berries, got rid of those pesky birds! Unfortunately, I still have not found THE WALL, yet. Where in the world do I start looking for THE WALL?????

Mac, go through the place where you get off and on the train, and on the other side walk forward quite a ways.

You will have to get the people who run that barge to bring the train up here, and that will involve some more fun......

I am stuck in the game once again! I have found the wall and received a bottle of wine from the stationmaster. Now what?????? I'm absolutely clueless on what to do from here. Please help!

Have you been to a lecture?

Find anything at the beach where you found the Station Master. At our beaches we find shells and such. The beach there has something a bit more practical!

Okay:

Past those pesky three birds I did the following:

-Went up to where the automatron (spelling?) was and examined it. Found the egg and couldn't take it down.
-Went back to the three bridge crossings and received the wine bottle from the stationmaster.
-I have found the barge before I got rid of the birds and talked to the couple on the boat.
-I have talked to the professor, the three stooges, the stationmaster about their smuggling deal going on.

So, BB. What now??????? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

Hi mac

Did you take a climb up the cagged ladder where the birds were?

Is my memory failing? I used the wine somewhere else. Later. Much later.

Have you talked with the professor; given him the Mammoth toy and attended his lecture?

Yes! I gave the Mammoth to the professor after I logged off of here for some time. I'm guessing that Kate has automatically given the Prof. her number? Now what??????? Do I just wander around? I listened to the second voice cylinder and I gathered the powder and the test tube holder to from the lab. Do I give the Prof. the powder to see what he does? Please help!

Mac....Did you get TWO items from the glass cabinet in the Professor's lab? I looked again, and it appears you did. Maybe one of those thingies could possible be used to retrieve a certain egg from a certain nest. I'm sure you already know where that egg goes??????

Love, Witchen =O)

Mac, why don't you make another stab at getting that egg from the nest?

You gals were right! It worked! Now, I've figured out how to open the first boat lock. The number was 42. But, how in the world do I get the other lock to open?????? I can't even figure that out! How do I start to figure it out? Please help!

BTW..........figuring out that first lock number was pure luck out of thin air!!!!!

Isn't there an emergency number posted somewhere for when you need help.....

Yes! I know that's the clue. How would I know if the number is right or wrong, though?????

Is the barge in the lock, Mac? If so, you'll be able to tell if the number is correct, because the water level will lift the barge.

If the barge isn't in the lock, you need to go talk to the barge owners......

Alright......I've searched the Helena Romanski shrine. Now what? Where do I start to bring her back for the director? I have Metal Shears and The Screwdriver in my current inventory. Please help!

You may have to -talk- to someone else first...

Hi Mac....There's a ladder around there somewhere. You might be able to use an implement you already have to access it.

Love, Witchen =O)

Alright, I'm stuck! I just tested the blood from the drunk to see if he was okay to pilot Hans' airship! No go! Now what????? I know I need to get somebody else's blood, but, I can't get downstairs again and get to the monorail!!!!!! Is there another way to get a sample of blood?? Please help!!!! <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

maybe you can use your own blood....

Okay........it's time to make some wine! Please help! Where do I start?????

I've placed the lemon and the crystallized honey and the vodka in their correct places. I have the musical scale and I think the numbers I found in the Kronsky brochure tell me which order to press the keys in. Unfortunately, Helena still refuses the wine no matter what mixes I try. What am I doing wrong? Is the switch to the right of the piano keys supposed to be on towards the right or the left????? Please help!!!!!! I need hints here!!!!

Would anybody care to join me for a cognac afterwards????? <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/woozy.gif" />

(1) Did you warm up the crystallized honey so it is liquid?
(2) Sure you have the formula for the drink?
(3) Didn't confuse the markings for ice and honey on the controls?
(4) Switch to left = 2nd key
(5) Then to the right = 3rd key

Still can't get it? Let us know!

What do you mean when it comes to question number four, BB?

Also isn't this the formula: 46433643. I found it in the Kronsky hotel brochure! Let me know if I'm doing anything right here, please!

Mac, you have to call that number on the cell phone to get the formula.

And what BillyBob meant was that with the switch in the left position, you hit the second key, and then with the switch in the right position, you hit the third.......
