I gave up on this game 4-5 mos. ago & have finally gotten bakc to it. Decided to start all over. Am stuck in temple. Have done everything I need to,but can't finish w. the left hand on the body. I have the magnifying glass on the puncture wound,but nothing happens. I think
SH needs to make some comment about the wound. I am still getting an eye icon on that hand so I know I'm not finished with it. Thanks for any help!

Hi sadirose,

Holmes should definitely comment on the puncture wound. Move the magnifying glass around the area and keep clicking, it might be a little picky about the exact spot. You will eventually get it.

Thanks for the help. I still can't get it to work. Very frustrating as I know it worked the first time I played it.

Check this thread and see if that helps - here.

Kalygarr clicked on the middle finger and the thumb to get through.

I better post that old thread where I replayed it:

I looked at the right hand. Saw only one finger that is active: He said, The right index finger is coated with dust.
I looked at the left hand. Only one finger is active and can be clicked on - the middle finger. He said even though it is the middle finger - There is a hole at the left 'thumb' used to draw blood on the passport... The thumb was not active in my game.
They might have caught the error in dialogue and added the active thumb that you got.

Check and see if that works for you.

Thanks you,thank you,thank you! It was the thumb you have to click on. Now can somebody tell me how to get to the door where the key from
Warehouse 16 fits? Thanks!

Glad you solved the problem, sadirose.

You can get to the door by following the tarry footprints. Examine the ground closely near Warehouse 16, look for footprints leading away towards the steps by the water. They're quite clear and easy to follow.

I've got that,I think. Do you go down a sort of bridg/ramp & then down steps? But which door am I looking for? What does it look like? thanks!

Sadi,

This is from MaG's WT, Follow the tracks of the footprints. Go down the stairs to a door close to the water. Use the key on door.

Yes, you go down some steps - the water will be to your left, and a high wall to your right. It's a narrow path, the door is at the very end; possibly double-doors if my memory serves me. Keep checking the ground for footprints, they'll lead you directly to it.

Stuck in lab--trying to find steps to upstairs. Found them once by accident--got as far as the aviary & then some stupid popup killed the game. Thanks for any help!I know the Wt says they should be just to the left of the lab door if I'm understanding correctly but I just can't find them. this game is so dark!

Hi sadirose,

As you exit the lab, turn right and forward to the corner. At the corner, on the opposite side a little way ahead you should see an opening. Enter through here and follow the passage around to the left, where you'll see the stairs.

Help! Stuck again. have talked to Becker & Gerda in cells. have tin of water. Am in lab,but can't pick up pink crystals. SH says he has no use for them.

Has Becker mentioned that he wants pink crystals? You won't be able to pick them up until he does.

If he has, and you still can't, might you have already picked some up? Holmes won't want to carry more around with him. Double check your inventory.

How do I get SH to put on the Prof.
Schwarz disguise to talk to Wolff? I have the disguise in items--have pulled it up but nothing is happening. Thanks for help! I so love this forum!

Sadi,

From the WT,

Take a look at the photo of Prof. Schwartz in documents. See that he wears glasses and has a beard. In items, combine the false beard and the spectacles to make Prof. Schwartz disguise. Go and talk to Wolff.

Did you look at the photo of Prof. Schwartz? Did you combine the beard and spectacles?

I did make the disguise & have pulled it from Items,but can't get anything to happen.

Hi sadirose,

Wolff should have mentioned that he will talk only to the Prof.
Holmes should have taken a photo of Prof. Schwartz from the cabinet in Gygax's office. Examine this carefully. Read Wolff's record.
Talk to Becker about Wolff, Becker will tell you that the Prof. died a long while ago.
Read the paper on the classroom desk.
Check the cabinet in Gygax's office and take (and read) the file with the unlabelled tab.
You should have a false beard and spectacles in inventory - did you combine these to make the full disguise?

Hope that helps.

Duh! I finally realized I was tryihng to talk to the wrong patient! Now,I'm trying to work the torches. The one by Gygax' office worked just fine,but I'm having trouble w. the one by Wolff. Is it next to his cell or on the wall across? Thanks!

I think it might be the one to the left of Wolff's cell door. If not that one, try any others that you see in that area. Make sure you're in front of the correct cell.

OK,thanks,got it! It's on the wall across from the cell. Wolff would be looking at it from his cell. Now...the WT says the 3rd torch isby the torture room. Is this the experiment room in Gygax' office or the disposal room? Thanks!

The torture room is the room with the well and the body parts.

Where is hotspot on Moriarty's cell door? Wt says to open w. spoon,but can't find hotspot. Thanks for help!

I think that it is on the lock of the cell. It's been a while though and my memory might have slipped.

Duh...again I was trying to get into the wrong place(the cell w. the 2 male nurses instead of the right one) Now in New Orleans--looking forward to this part because i live in New Orleans!

Glad that you're moving on. Have fun!
