Replaying this game, and am already stuck! Have exhausted all conversations with characters, and have covered everything in the WT. I've also gathered up all the available objects for Inventory. The WT states that Hastings will automatically get thrown back to Poirot's office, but it's no happening. What am I missing? Can't go any further..

It would be really difficult to ascertain what little thing(s) is halting your progress. It would be a good idea to make sure you have read all documents and have right-clicked and examined everything. Also continue to look over the walkthrough carefully to see what you might have missed.

As someone who loves this game but does get stuck each time I play, what I do if I've spoken to everyone, I go through the inventory and right-click/examine ALL items and do that for all of the documents and suspects (basically EVERYTHING in that top toolbar)

If that fails to progress you, you can click on Hastings' face in that toolbar to manually go back to Poirot's office and talk to him and do the finger of suspicion.

Thanks, everyone.. I've exhausted all the dialogue with available characters, built the blind, been everywhere and am just stuck. Will go through all inventory items, again, and if all else fails will start over! I've missed something, somewhere!

Well, I'm back. I've gone back and redone the game, and did find out that I hadn't completed all of the stop watch timings. Did that. Did everything in Poirot's instructions. Checked all suspects, all inventory, made the blind, saw Arlena and Patrick, though Poirot did not comment. I've completed everything re: WT, and I am still not directed back to Poirot's office. I did go back there, but he just gave Hastings a hint, which is unknown and encouraged him to carry on. Baffled. I have no idea what I am missing...Any hint would be welcome!

Just re-read the WT and am wondering about a time line glitch. When Poriot spoke with Christine she mentioned that Patrick was swimming. She stated that she'ed had enough sun, and left. When Poirot went to the beach and spoke with the 2 men there, he also picked up the cord and checked the water. There was no sign of Patrick. Later he returned to the beach, and saw Patrick and Arlene in the water together, but did not remark. The WT said Christine witnessed them there. Christine had already left, so how could she have seen them? When Poirot spoke to Christie, the Marshall's were still playing tennis...He spoke to Kenneth and learned about the 2 letters. It was after that scene, that Arlene was seen swimming, or floating with Patrick. Very confusing...

Try going back to a very old saved game and redo the walkhrough step by step. See if it matches. There's a possibility that you might have opened a saved game where things have already been done.

Or you can watch this video walkthrough.

Thanks, MaG. There aren't any Saved games...I went back and started all over. I'll try to see if I can get back to an older game, but doubt it. I just went straight through without saving anything.I played this game ages ago, and don't remember having any problems with it.

If you still have the problem, look at some of the saves here: http://www.nicouzouf.com/en/?id=agathachristieevilunderthesun I have used them myself when I've gotten stuck

Thank you, Jen. I couldn't get your saves to open on my computer, will try later on my husband's. I did go onto YouTube and checked their WTs. The first WT was one from several years ago when the game first came out. The game I have now, is newer. In the older version. there Poirot mentions 3 stories..A ghost at the pub, a girl being murdered, and one other. These game scenes do not appear on the game version I'm playing. Could that be the problem? I've done everything else mentioned in the WT.

The version I have I bought at Walmart in 2006 and it has those 3 stories in it. I would have thought the game would be the same

Also, be sure when you download those saves, you unpack them with a zip program (such as winzip, though I personally use B1) you'll have 2 files for each save (the Agatha Christie games are unique that way, you have the save file and a thumbnail

Thank you, Jen!

Thanks Jen.

After days of trying to figure out the problem, I watched YouTube, and solved the problem. I'd never actually checked on the guest register as the names were already in Poirot's notebook. As soon as I did. I was sent back to Poirot's office. Voila!
Thanks, everyone!

I'm stuck again. Have done everything per Poirot's instructions, and the WT. Have just returned from Leatherscomb and have returned the book, gotten money from bank, picked up spatula and oough meds. talked to everyone, and am back at the hotel. The WT says to return to Poirot's room and find Linda in the bathroom with the previously saved Guillemot..She's not there. Now what?

If all else fails, perhaps you could try watching the video walkthrough again; there's a video walkthrough of the entire game.

Gillann, try going back down to where Poirot and Linda rescued the guillemot at. I had this problem the last time I played too and I was missing something which caused Linda to not automatically go to Poirot's room.

Also, be sure you have the Caring for Birds book (I can't precisely recall the true name of the book) in your inventory and have opened/viewed it, and have the soap, brush and I think oil.

Oh, and I think you need to have towels too.

Also try talking to Linda, if you haven't

Thank you for your help, Jen.

Have finished up cleaning the points on the car, and went outside to meet Will. He said the sea tractor was fine, Poirot explained he had cleaned the points on the car, and then, Will left. The WT states to "return to Seacliff"..How? Will wandered off and doesn't appear to be around anywhere...The newly repaired car is also gone. How to get back?

I believe that you have to use the sea tractor phone to the right of Will Jenks' garage. If you have done everything that you need to do up to this point, the sea tractor should get you there.

I did use the phone, but Will is not around, and the car that Poirot "fixed" is also gone. I've visited Weston ...no dialogue, been to the pub, the store/p.o., but no dialogue. Stranded in Leathercombe!

I was having trouble catching the sea tractor back to Seacliff, so I went back to a Save and redid the car repair. Will did not disappear...the car did, but in the scene Poirot was standing in front of him blocking him from sight! Found Will, and am on my way again!

Thanks for letting us know that you got it figured out. Have fun.

It has occurred to me that this must be an abbreviated version of the game. I played it years ago when it came out, but this version I bought as a 3 for 1, and some scenes are just missing. The WT says after the ride back to Seacliff in the tractor, Poirot walks back to the hotel...He sees the Gardeners by the lounge chairs, but automatically walks off in a different direction, and ultimately digs, or looks for the treasure spot. In my version, as soon as Poirot spots the Gardeners, she begins a dialogue with him, and he does not walk off to seek the treasure. One other hint was for him to walk up to the summit near the courts..he didn't pace off there, either. Did find the shovel there, though. Not sure how to proceed. Not sure where he's supposed to go. He's not going on is own, though!
