Eternam - Walkthrough
The first thing you need to learn is how to talk to
people. The people who are outside will always
say exactly the same thing, so you only need to
talk to them once. People inside building and so
on, however, can carry on an interactive dialogue.
The biggest problem here is that sometimes they
only give you a single chance to let the dialogue
go the way you need it to in order to finish the
game (ARGHH!), so you may want to save your
game and ask them in each order until you get it
right. Remember that often what they say will be
included in a "test" of sorts which you must pass
in order to continue. Usually, though, if you say
the wrong thing to a person you will just be killed
outright. So just reload the game and try another
tack... FIRST ISLAND Walk about until you get to
the Duke's Castle. A short animation sequence
(isn't there a way to abort these?) and you are
inside. Off to the left is a room with sweetmeats.
Pick one up. Talk to the guy in the next room
down for a bit. Back out to the main hall, go up
one, to the right. Pick up the match. Take the
next left from the main hall, and go on just past
the mirror. The guards pass, and you continue on
your merry way. Go up and take the infrared
goggles. Back to the main hall, keep going up,
(another animation sequence), and give the
sweetmeat to the clerk. Go back for another
sweetmeat for the guard. Talk to the guys in the
next room for your 1st quest: the ordeals. In the
room on the left and down, take the medieval
camera. Two rooms to the right, and down, and
up the stairs, to the left, down a few times, and
off to the right are the onion skins. Pick them up,
and you are off to the ordeals. Go back down the
stairs, to the right twice, use the onion skins and
walk under each eye once. Hurry now to the right
through the flames before you dry off. Take a
short step down in the next room, and then
"speak". Walk across the board to the next room.
Believe the signs, go to the next room, and then
ignore the monster and go into the next room.
Use the infrared glasses and follow the path.
Only the switch on the left should go into the "up"
position. In the next room use the match
immediately, and then continue into the last
room. Step on the central floor panel and you
have solved the ordeals. More animation, and
you get a small, very sharp knife. Go back down
to near the entrance to the castle. If you want,
you can go back to the left and down and take a
picture of the guy with his statue. Leave the
castle. Further on is a building: take the letter
from the woman at the entrance. You can now go
to the next island. Just follow the path until you
get to the water and stay near the rocks. No
problem. SECOND ISLAND The people here are
thieves! Talk to any people when you are outside
and any GPs you have will disappear! This sucks,
but can be useful if you need some more cash...
more on this later. Follow the path and take the
first left, and give the letter to the revolutionaries,
and they will give you a rosette. Continue back
down the path, to the left twice, and talk to
Charlotte. If you say she's quite an artist you will
get 10 GP. Whenever you come back to her, if
you are out of cash she will give you more. I don't
know how many times it will work, but so far she
has given money to me twice... This is where
letting people steal from you can be useful. If you
_need_ another gold piece or two, let them steal
it and go back to Charlotte for a total of 10 more.
Then back to spend your cash. Anyway, once
you have your cash, leave her house and go back
down the path. Take the left twice, and talk to the
old lady. Get her to say for you to ask the
barkeep for something "strong". And now go into
the city. Talk to the fisherman, and ask for how to
get off the island. Continue on, and enter the city.
You don't need to buy a compass now, I figure it
will be better to wait a bit. Besides, you will need
to use _all_ 10 GPs later anyway. Go down into
the next screen. Animation (sigh), and you are
invited into the ring. Speak up, and get your knife
ready. When the fight starts, throw the knife and
it will cut off his shorts and win you the fight and
one more GP. (No compass yet, you still need
_all_ 11 GPs.) To the right of this screen is a
building, and go trample its lawn. You will be sent
into the prison. Talk to the people outside and
they will tell you how to get out. Out the building
you are. Go right, down, collect all the stuff here
(key, rackets, thermometer, canis), go down and
talk to Marcel. Go up twice, go right, into the
building, go up and talk to whats-his-name. Get
his permission to use the ferry. Off to get the
other authorisation... Out the house, up, left, into
the building, go right, up, talk to him, up, hide
behind that thing over on the right, use the
camera, animation, go back to talk to the baron.
Leave the house and talk to Marcel. And you are
off to the next island. THIRD ISLAND Now you
have to pass a quiz. Well, you don't _really_ have
to (there is a way to get by it) but it is cheaper to
do it this way. Answer all the questions correctly
and you get sent farther along. Assuming you
have asked every person every possible thing as
you went along, you will have more than enough
information to pass the quiz. And what you don't
already know you can actually look up in an
encyclopedia. A set of answers to the quiz is:
2,2,3,2,1,1,3,2,2,2,1,2,3,2,3,1,1,2,3,1 If you feel
like it, you can fail the test and get kicked back to
island two. In the bar, ask for something strong,
etc, go to the hidden room, and ask the guy back
there for something "special". You can buy your
way to the next island for 10 GPs. But since you
can pass the test for free anyway I figure this is a
waste of money. In any case, you will be in the
complex. Wander around up and down floors
collecting cards to other floors, they will be
scattered around. On floor three, when you get
there, you need to ask the Kirk-guy to see the
Commander and he will give you a card to floor 2.
Look through the periscope and you will see the
disaster and be sent on your second mission:
stop the thing from blowing up. Down on floor two
you will be given a card to access the
transporters, but you don't actually need to use it
yet. Just go to floor 0, off to the right, the exit sign
comes on, go out. Wander along the road to the
left and you will come to the pumping station.
Walk in, up to the machine, and you will give it a
good smack. Fixed! Walk a bit more to the right,
and robot-guy will tell you you need your own
boat. Go back down the road, go straight through,
and go straight through again. Walk inside the
building, jump in, and you can get sent on your
third mission: find a space map. Pick up the flag
to get rid of the interference, and back through
the hole. Go back to the other building, up to floor
1, and go to the washroom. Each of the three
stalls teleports you to one of three islands. You
want to use the one way at the back to get to
island 2. Teleport, go back into the city, to the
bar, in the back, ask for something special, and
buy yourself the starmap. Pick it up, back out the
city, transport back, and leave. Back to the moon,
talk to the astronaut, back to the other building,
talk to the programmer and watch him transport
out. Done! PYRAMID Teleport here from floor
one of the complex. Go in the pyramid, to the
room on the right, to the far wall, pick up the
Rosy Stone, back out to the other room, walk up
to the wall at the far left, take a peek at that
particular picture, and go to the next room. Tell
the genie to open the door, and go in.
R,U,L,L,D,L,U,U,R,R,R,R,D,D,R,U,U,U,L,L,L,U,
out. Ignore the scorpion on the right, go left, left,
take the sceptre, use it on the cup, pick up the
cup, use it, go through the new door, right. Ignore
the statue's head, go right, avoid the little bee,
right, kill the snakes, speak to the wall, pick up
the pieces, go down, left, take the statues
(except blue), left, take the statues, kill the
spiders, back to the right, right, right, down,
down, left, left, take the knife, use it in the cup,
go back right, up, up. Place the yellow, orange,
blue statues in the upper, left, and right doors. Go
back to the hall which was just before the
scepter, place a piece of mirror, follow the light
beam along, place another piece. Go to the room
with the "X" on the floor (Superman is shown on
the wall), use the big piece of mirror, cross the
path of the X without being near it, pick up the
pieces of mirror, go back to follow the beam of
light placing more mirror bits. Before you enter
the room where you placed the little statues, use
the rackets and go in. The answers to the
questions which come are 3,3,1. Pick up the rod,
use it, teleport back, use the first stall on the left
to go back to island 1, enter the castle, go to the
boat room, use the rod, leave the castle, teleport
back to island 3, go back to the pumping station,
use the boat, use the rod, and you're off sailing.
DRAGOON ISLAND Wander to the Warren,
enter, go right, avoid the jigglers, right, go to the
top of this screen, enter, get the remote, talk to
the Alchemist, and leave. Leave the warren, find
the scientist, use the flag on him, use the remote
on him, and then go back to the warren. Enter, go
up two screens, go left through the semi-hidden
door, talk to the Priest, make friends with him. Go
left, get captured, say "this might be weird...", talk
to the baroness's daughter, take all the
mushrooms, go down, put the plank down, go
right, take the diamond, back to the room with the
women, use the green mushroom, go right, right,
up, right, right, right. Take the bone and bowling
balls, go back left, left, left, use the diamond, go
left. Save here because you will probably slip and
fall the first few times, but you will get used to it
after a while. Use the bone to stop the lizard,
avoid the first door with the bear, and enter the
second door. Go left, hide behind the pillar, get
the round mushroom ready, when the chef goes
to the stove run and quickly take the spices and
then use the round mushroom so that it takes
their place, and run back behind the pillar again.
Wait for him to leave the stove again, go right,
right, up, left, talk to the prince, use the bowling
balls in the empty cell, go back right, use the
flute, go up, up, talk to the Evil Prince, offer him a
gift, the spell "throw the boat", and he dies. Take
the key, go back down, down, into the hole.
Wander over to the shark pen, throw the lever,
throw the lever again, swim across. Go to the
right and push the rock, walk over to the other
side of the "pool", push the rock back, enter the
pit. Walk up and look out the window and the
game is done.
