Not sure what to do here. I have the camera set up on the window sill, the string is tied to the bicycle, I have the frosted glass, the lens is attached. The walkthrough says to click on the back right of the camera and something will slide out, but he says it's too early for that. Also, is the string supposed to be attached to the camera somehow to trigger the camera?

Is the window of the room across the road that you want to have picture of, already opened?
Is the camera focused? Did he say so?

Here's how to load the camera:

Look close at front of camera. Place the lens cap on the lens. Take the end of the fishing line and place it on the hook of the lens cap.

Use the loaded photo cassette on the glass plate at back of camera. The frosted glass plate is now in inventory.

Click on the right edge of the inserted cassette to take the cassette frame out of the back of the camera. This leaves the sensitized glass negative inside the camera.

The photographic trap is ready.

Ok, thanks. I'll see what I can do.

Good luck.

I don't know what I'm not doing right. I can't get the string to attach to the lens, and I don't even know if there is something in the camera to slide out.

I know I put the glass into the case in the dark room, then went back and put it in the camera, that is when I got the frosted glass in my inventory.

So, I am assuming what came next was to attach the string and pull out the fram, but I just can't do either.

Am I supposed to do something with the frosted glass?

You should have the camera, empty photo cassette and sensitized glass negative from the dark room.
While in the dark room - Combine the sensitized glass negative and the photo cassette in inventory to get loaded cassette.


Then you go to and use it in the room.
You use the loaded cassette on the camera prior to taking the picture.
Set it up as the post above.

The string - that might not be set upped correctly

There are a number of things you have to do here, maybe one is missing:
- focus the camera
- tilt the mirror to reflect light on Arriaga's window
- cover the lens with the lens cap (you say this is done)
- Cast the fishing rod on Arriaga’s window (watch the cut scene) and only then use it on the tricycle
After all this you should be able to tide the string to the lens (front of the camera).

If not, go back to the darkroom and read the poster on the wall very carefully (about assessing and using the camera). You may have overlooked something and now the best thing is to read the original instructions in the game.

Thanks, Pilaus.

Flo.

Got it! What I wasn't doing was clicking the string in inventory. I just happened to see it there this time, and selected it and it worked.

Thanks for your help, I was ready to restart.

Great, Flo. Have fun.
