Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/06/11 03:36 PM

Try and follow the map or the step by step in the wt. You have to do this woods walk several times.

Go back inside.
Enter the shop.
Exit through the other door left of the postcard stand.
Go forward and then down the stairs to the glass shop.

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/08/11 02:38 AM

I don't think you're able to change time on this game. It will be nighttime for the whole game.

The solution is here. luck

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/09/11 02:45 PM

i have the walkthough but your solution does not work on my game.

mags this is your solution3,4,2,1,2,2 again and immediately 3 what do u mean by again
Posted By: MaG

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/09/11 03:53 PM

From left to right, press buttons: 3, 4, 2, 1, wait, 2, 2 again and immediately 3.

If you look at the picture - see that each of those numbers are clicked on at the spaces between the knobs.

The 2 is just a repeat of the 2 previously (press 2 once more). I better remove that confusing "again" from the wt.

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/09/11 06:56 PM

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/09/11 07:04 PM

ican get all but 1 letterin the legend letters can you send a saved game please. thanks
Posted By: MaG

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/10/11 11:42 PM

Is this the decoding? If so - you need only to type the letters as seen in the paper. But you should change the 3 letters on the wheels first. luck

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/13/11 10:40 PM

Stuck. Don't know what I have forgotten to do. MaG, in your wt I'm at the heading "Find Lukas". I have not received a call from Karl and Lukas is where Lukas always is. I have completed all possible conversations with everyone. Wandering everywhere doing everything and no call....Lukas is still not missing.

Any help??? Thank you!
Posted By: MaG

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/13/11 11:48 PM

Check (if junior) your task list and see what else needs to be done.
Be sure that you have exhausted all dialogue and puzzles with Renate.
Check also how many legend pages you have and verify it with the walkthrough. Keep us posted.

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/14/11 02:38 AM

Hi, MaG!

I've deciphered Lukas' message and located the first note on the upstairs portrait. Do I have to physically remove the notes as I find them, or just note that they're there?

Thanks!

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/14/11 02:42 AM

Hi Susan,

No, you can't take them - just as long as Nancy acknowledges those letters. Have fun.
Posted By: Susie07

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/14/11 03:12 AM

Hi, MaG!

Thanks! Nancy has acknowledged 2 of the notes, so I'm off to find the rest.

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/16/11 01:33 AM

Hi, MaG!

I seem to find myself stuck again frown . Where are the keys to open Karl's desk and the desk in the Gift Shop hiding? I also haven't found the second roller for the decoding machine in the Security Room.

Thanks!

Susan

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/16/11 02:16 AM

Hi Susan,

1. Did you read the RAID guide book completely? There's a character there that is seen on the wall in Karl's office.
2. Which decoder key do you have?
Have seen Renate while at the gift shop in the security camera? Have you followed through that one?
Have you opened the box outside Karl's office?
Posted By: Susie07

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/16/11 02:22 AM

Hi, MaG1

I did read the RAID book, but maybe I missed something because I did check the picture of the sparrow on the wall and nothing happened ... no hot spots ... no nothing.

I'm missing the decoder key on the left side of the machine.

I saw Renate do something with the clock in the Gift Shop, but I need a key to set the time. I assume I will find that in the desk, but I found the key to unlock the desk.

Yes, I comnpleted the glass puzzle in the hallway outside Karl's office.

Thanks!

Susan

Edited to add that I didn't read through the entire RAID manual, so I found the keys I was missing and am now trying to decode the message. Thanks again!

Hi Inge, welcome to GameBoomers.

Which save do you need -- the rearrangement of the purse contents? MaG's walkthrough HERE shows screenshots of how to lay out the items so that they don't wake up Renate.
Posted By: IH311

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/17/11 04:49 PM

Hello,
I mean the metal balls. I tried it for so many days.
Please send me a save. Thank you.

One thing that helped me personally is this. Before even pulling the pin on the left that releases the bar, I took a nice cleansing breath (I know that may sound silly, but it helped) Also, I watched Arglefrumph's video walkthrough on the game on youtube. His section on that puzzle as well as the Legend Letters helped me immensely.

The part on this puzzle, is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOeqOpatthc What I suggest is pausing the video so it can buffer, then when you can, skip to 03:37, that's where this puzzle starts. This video should help on Legend Letters too if I remember correctly

can someone please send me a save game for renate bag,i can't get pass that part,can someone refresh my memory how to put the save into the game i forgot. thank you very much!

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/23/11 04:12 AM

Okay. I have tried close to 20 times now and I'm frustrated. I cannot for the life of me set the time on the cuckoo clock to open what I'm assuming is a secret compartment of some sort. I read on another site that there is a bug in the game where if you get a monster sighting while using the blue cutout on the book in the hallway, it won't let you. And that happened to me, but no matter how many times I try to trigger the clue again, I can't.

So can I please get a save game for the cuckoo clock in the gift shop? Please and thank you.

abby, Saved game sent.

gwennylou, I sent you a saved game - Hopefully this is the one you want.

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/23/11 06:00 PM

How do I get down the trap door to the secret passage with out ending the game?
Posted By: Rushes

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/23/11 06:20 PM

Glad you're progressing now, abby.

Hi jenniejenn31, I'm still to finish the game, but from looking at the walkthrough it doesn't seem that Nancy can get down there for herself. What's down there seems to be a cell, rather than a secret passage. smile
Posted By: jenniejenn31

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/23/11 06:32 PM

The check list says to explore the hidden passages and the walk through mentions to go through the door. I guess I am confused where to go next so that I can get the phone call lukas is missing.
Posted By: Rushes

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 07/23/11 08:17 PM

The walkthrough says: Turn the relief counterclockwise to open the door to the secret passage.

The door opens up in the wall next to you then, rather than the trapdoor, which opens if you turn the relief in the other direction. smile

Having trouble finding the hot spot when trying to take a pic of the monster. I turn left to the tree and I can't get the hot spot of where to click in order to be behind the tree. Does anyone have any hints?
Posted By: MaG

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 08/23/11 03:04 AM

welcome nicholle,

Be sure that you have examined Renate's map and Nancy comments on where the monster was seen.

HI anyone I need help with the Enigina decoder
I dont unstand what I doing here. i could use some help. THANKS Maxwell
Posted By: Rushes

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 09/10/11 01:54 PM

Hi maxwell,

Do you have the 2 wheels to make the decoder work?

Do you have the coded messages that need to be decoded?

The solution is in the walkthrough. Just enter the first letter of each of the pictures and then type in the letters only of the coded message.

luck
Posted By: maxwell

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 09/10/11 03:49 PM

have the two wheels install what message has to be decoded the sun one? Where to you enter the first letter on the key board ? or on the wheels because they do not move for me !! Maxwell

Re: nancy drew the captive curse - 09/10/11 04:48 PM

3 rotors are needed.
The 2 rotors are taken from the glass tile puzzle box and the cuckoo clock. luck
