I don't think anybody is playing the full game but just in case there is,I'm stuck at the second half of the music box. I have to enter a date to open it.
tried every date but no good.
Richard

Richard,

I just downloaded the game. I don't know when I can get to it yet. There is a clue on the demo thread about the musicbox. Does that not help?

MaG
I've looked at all of the books but couldn't find a date to enter in the box. Hurry up and start playing so you can help me-just kidding. Sure is a lot of talking. I opened the first part of the music box with Lozanovi. Thanks
Richard

I'll try.

-----
Just opened the first part of the music box. I have to stop and do some work. I'll try to get there.
I have that Chinese Box yet to work on, right?

I'm stuck there, too. When he asked for the daughter's birthdate, I thought surely that was it....but no go.

Is the chinese box the one that's got the cigar in it? I opened it if thats the one. I didn't find any use for the cigar. I entered the birthday in the music box to but didn't work.
Richard

Oh. No need to open that Chinese box then? I will pass it and maybe play it later.

I'm rushing work.

Richard, you will need that cigar in exchange for some paper and pencil.

Chief

Edit: an about that date for the music box:

Chief, if you know that, do you know how we get the date for that music box, too?

Edit: Oh. I just saw your edit. Sorry.

Okay. That took some time to get to that point.

From the letter of the father to Carmen: There are 3 important time in the father's life - England, back to Toledo/Carmen and Different Sun.
It is not Carmen's b-day.
Check Different Sun founding: 14 years before this Easter.
After talking to Francisco, talk to Carmen. She will say the priest wants to talk to Hunt.
Go church. Learn when Easter is calculated by the church.
Calculate the date of Easter using the calendar in police station.
The day of the week is in the Almanac in the book in Francisco's room at his home.

If you want the exact date - please post.
Now I will Good night.

I have looked at all of those but still can't get it. Sorry. Thick headed, I guess. Would you mind posting it?

Date: The priest stated that Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon or following the Spring Equinox.
You can check the Spring equinox in a book in the father's bedroom - the one beside his bed, top shelf. OR like me, I checked the full moon in the moon calendar in the police station.
The priest stated it is between March 22 and April 15th.



Now for the day of the week: Go to the almanac book below the window at Francisco's bedroom.
Follow the graph shown for the year 1889. Left column-page - select 89. Move across to the graph on right page and find the row under the column 3 (March).
See that the number is 30.
Add 5 to that and get 35.
Now you find which day of the week on the top right page frame.

.

Went in the dark room and openend the trap door and went down in the sewer (another maze) got lost. Finally made my way out. Nothing down there I could do. The music box has another puzzle.
Any help MaG, your sure doing a lot better than me. Hate any hard puzzles.
Richard

Richard,

I have not been back to the game yet since last night. Sorry. Things, work and life are here. Maybe later tonight again, I can get back to the game.

Ok MaG,take your time I'm in no rush.
Richard

Richard, about the third code of the music box, write down the letters of each of the three small wheels to realise that there is only two possible combinations of three letter.
Then try all numbers found in the bible page of these two combinations.
Not to long to do.

Not very scientific but got it open.

And thanks about the trap door. Had not see that.

Chief

Thanks Chief will try that.
Richard

Thanks, Chief.

Richard, I played that part until opening of the music box third part.

Talk to Carmen after seeing the third lock of the music box. She talks about the passage said by the priest at funeral and about El Greco.
Talk to priest at church. He gives bible.
Go back to father's bedroom. Look at the 3 unfinished picture of beside the easel.
Go to bookcase top shelf and look at El Greco's paintings. The last painting is the one that is unfinished - The Fifth Seal.
Open the bible and read it on where they are marked.
The last one is the Book of Revelations. The bottom left passage mentions 'fifth seal'.

Thanks MaG,was really stuck.

Another question MaG or Chief ,should I buy the sword from the pawn shop guy?
Richard

Thanks, guys. I've gotten as far as opening the rest of the music box and have the weird key. I've been in the sewers and looked at the locked gate and the garden with the bird up above; told the guy at the pawnshop that I'd buy the sword from him - don't know if that was good or bad; now I don't know what to do. I did get the developing solutions ready for when I use the camera, but I don't know when or where to use it. Nobody's talking to me. I have the feeling I'm supposed to do something else in the painter's room area.

Any ideas?

Melia
Did you combine the two keys to make one to fit the iron door in the church. I can't open the iron door until the priest leaves.
Richard

Melia, did you start installing the camera at the Candelas home in Francesco's room? Remember the close blind at the pawnshop..........

Chief

Richard,
It doesn't matter with the sword. Hunt will string the antique dealer on.
The priest can be tricked into leaving. If you have talked to him completely before remember he said that he's waiting for a call from his sick friend in Madrid. Talk to Domingo only after you have finished the developing the picture.

Melia -
You are at the point that you can do several things.
You can walk the sewer maze using the clues from the book. Or do what Chief stated - take the picture of the opened window across Francisco's room.

I've already walked the maze. Looks like I'm going to try combining keys and do something with the camera. I tried messing with it in the painter's dark room, but nothing happened. I didn't think of trying it in Domingo's room. Thanks, guys, I'm off!

Melia,

Did you find the secret room in the sewers already?
