Section 03 - Controls [CTRL]
Point and click. That's it. When you see a hand, that means you can move. A
hand holding a wrench indicates an action can be taken. A hand holding a
magnifying glass indicates that you can examine something. The game allows 360
degree rotation by moving the mouse around. Try not to get motion sickness.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 04 - Level One [LVL1]
The game begins with a cutscene. (Get used to the bad voice acting; it's there
through the entire game.) Once Holmes enters the mansion, the game begins.
[FOYER]
Examine the sarcophagi. Note the dates of the eras.
The door to the next room is locked, so we should look for the key.
There are two lions at the entrance, one on each side of the door. Examine the

[KHAEPASETH MUMMY ROOM]

At the far end of the room is a really big rock with heiroglyphics on it. Walk
over to it and take the seal of Bes from behind it.
Behind you are sarcophagi. Walk over to them.
The one right in front of you slides over. Move it to reveal a locked storage
space. The lock is old, so you could just break it...
Use the screwdriver to break the lock.
Open the compartment and take the key.
Oil the lock of the door that is to the right of the big rock.
Use the key to unlock the door. Enter the room.
[DUSTY ROOM]
Ooh, a mirror! Let's have a look, shall we? Hey look, a mummy. Anyway...

Now walk over to the other desk.
Take the matches from on top of the books and use them on the candle.
Go over to the heater.
There's a weird box with gears on it next to the heater, but it's missing a few
gears. Put the big gear, middle gear, and small gear on the box to finish the
chain.
Open the heater and put in the newspaper, wood, and whiskey. Light the heater
and watch the cutscene.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 05 - Level Two [LVL2]

Enter the hallway.
[HALLWAY]
Walk straight through the doors in front of you.
[LIVING ROOM]
You're facing some doors. Why? I don't know. Sherlock seems to have walked into
the room backwards... no matter. Turn to your left and examine the glass case.
Momphis XI has gone missing... and left some sand in his place.
Move over to the sofa and read the letter under the table.
Move over to the picture of the tree and turn to the desk to the left of it.
In the cabinet under the desk there is a pipe cleaner. Grab it.
Leave the room.
[HALLWAY]
Go down the hall and enter the first door on your right.
[STUDY]
Turn left and grab the book from under the dresser. It's a fake register!
Walk forward and... hey, why is there a fire lit? I thought this place was
supposed to be deserted...
Look out the window. What the...? There's a man jumping around on the roof!
Turn around and take the letter of resignation from the desk. So everyone has
resigned? Then who let us in...?
Leave the room.
[HALLWAY]
Look down and to your right. You should see something shiny. Pick it up.
It's a fork!
Go back into the study.
[STUDY]
Walk over to the painting of the safari that's hanging above the fireplace.
Examine the painting.
In the bottom center of the painting, there is a small black splotch. It's
actually a crack.
Use the fork on the crack to reveal a hiidden area!
Take the real register and the cane.
Leave the room again.
[HALLWAY]
Take a right and enter the door on your right.
[BATHROOM]
Walk over to the sink and grab the soap.
Turn to your left and... there's water in the bathtub. Investigate.
The water is still warm! We shouldn't leave water lying around and nobody's
using it now, so let's pull the plug. Look in the bottom of the tub.
There's sand there. No doubt the same sand from the living room... let's leave.
Leave the room.
[HALLWAY]
Take a left and head to the Living Room.
[LIVING ROOM]
Walk over to the Lion head and use the cane on it.
Take the package.

a locked door.
Place the fake register under the door.
Use the soap on the lock.
Use the pipe cleaner on the lock.

-- START PUZZLE --
POKE THE BIG EYE.
POKE THE WOMAN WITH THE ANKH.
POKE THE CAT.
POKE THE MAN WITH THE STAFF.
-- END PUZZLE --
Take the scepter.
Look up at the fan. There's something on its blade.
Ignoring all common sense, you can't use the scepter to get the object on the
blade. However, you CAN turn the fan on...
Use the scepter on the white button on the fan.
Oh no, the jar that was on the fan blade broke! Go investigate.
Get the scarab beetle from the floor.
Leave the room and go back into the hallway.
[HALLWAY]
Go to the Study.
[STUDY]
Walk up to the desk and click on the left side (with the white circles on it).
It will swing open.
Use the scarab beetle on the wheel closest to you, then turn the T-bar.
Click to reveal another hidden area!
Read the two letters and try to get the last item, which Sherlock doesn't want
because he is not familiar with it.
Turn to your left and walk to the hallway door, but do not leave yet.
To the right of the door is a small box. Click on it.
Ah, an infamous sliding puzzle! The easiest way to do this is to break the
puzzle in half and do half at a time. I will do the top half then the bottom
half.
NOTE: for this puzzle, I am going to use the following numbers:
01 02 03 04
05 06 07 08
09 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
The numbers correspond to the spaces where the boxes go, not the boxes
themselves. For example, at the start, clicking on 12 will move the box to 16.
Clicking on 12 a second time will do nothing because there is no box there.
Get it?

Walk along the shelving until you see an oil flask behind another big rock with
heiroglyphics.

Note the urns that are decorated with cobras. If you've ever seen The Fifth
Element, you're about to reinact the scene where they save the world using
the elements and the stones.
For those of you who haven't seen The Fifth Element, I just spoiled the second
coolest scene in the movie (the first being the shootout). Sorry... >.>

Contribution By A Fellow Reader And Wonderful Human Being
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is called (according to my logic puzzle magazines) "logic art" the numbers
tell how many of the spaces and how many in a row/column are filled in. for
example: if the number next to a row is 25, then there will be one long row
of 25 squares filled in. if there are two or more numbers like 13, 4, 4, then
there will be one string of 13 in a row and two more of 4 and 4 always with at
least one unfilled square in between them.
the strategy to this game is to work logically from what you know to what you
don't know.
tatoeba: if there are 25 squares in a row and the number on the side of the row
is 20.
first count from the beginning of the row till you reach there twentieth
square. that is the limit that it could be to the left. then do the same
from the right. all the overlap squares definitely have to be filled in. In
this case we would have 15 squares in the middle filled in. from there we can
look at a column and use one of those filled in squares to extrapolate some of
what can and can not be true. again, if the columns have 25 squares apiece and
the only number is 8, then the filled-in squares cannot stray more than seven
from that one we already filled in. and so forth.

Section 09 - Letters [LTRS]
Letter 1: From Elisabeth to Holmes
Dear Sherlock Holmes,
Thank you so much for you interest in this affair. Finally,
I have found some peace after knowning that the matter of the dis-
appearance of my father Lord Montcalfe 6 months ago is now
being investigated by you, my savior. I know that you will find
the truth, and you will tell me exactly what happened to my father.
I do not believe what the police are saying - that he killed himself by
self immolation.
He was a brilliant man, on of the best Egyptologists.
Nothing can explain his tragic death. I know that my father
began to lose his senses, but we do not know why.
My father's butler will let you in and show you the way.
I hope in the manor you will find all the clues necessary to solve
this horrible matter.
Yours Sincerely,
Your devoted future cousin
Elisabeth Montcalfe
P.S. Please, I beg you to keep this business secret. I
really don't want your dear cousin Andrew, whom I am going
to marry very soon, to find out about it.
Letter 2: From Elisabeth to Holmes
Dear Sherlock Holmes,
I deeply regret that I cannot give you the
key to the manor; I don't believe that such an
obstacle will stop you, but I'm ashamed to ask
you to force the home of my father.
I fear that the manor is full of traps, as my
father lost his mental health five months before he
disappeared.
Be cautious: our happiness depends on your
success!
Your humble and grateful cousin.
Elisabeth Montcalfe
Letter 3: Newspaper
A STRANGE PHILANTHROPIST.
Lord Montcalfe, the well-known scientist and
explorer, is going to open his manor's doors to the
public and display the artifacts from his numerous
expiditions. His greatest work was to deliver from the
Sands the mummy of Aton, priest Khaepaseth. The
mummy is said to be cursed - Official opening date
will be announced soon in our newspaper.
London, May 7, 1893

Letter 4: From Elisabeth to Lord Montcalfe
My dear father,
Since you returned, I haven't seen you, so
I have decided to leave my lessons at university to
spend a little time with you.
I deeply regret that you are so angry that I
chose to study Archeology. I don't despair that
one day you will open the door to your Study to
me.
Do you know that the teacher decided to be
really hard on me given you knowledge?
Despite this I'm still the best in my class.
Your daughter,
Elisabeth.

Letter 9: From Dr A. Bigoudin to Lord Montcalfe
My dear old friend,
I am writing to you to confirm
the translation made in Cairo
concerning the scroll found close
to Momphis XI's sarcophagus.
It is a curse concerning anyone
who might violate the tomb.
Nothing really new, in fact it was
there to discourage robbers. Of
course it s a belief from another
time and does not relate to the
problems you had during your
last expidition. You are not
cursed!
Dr A. Bigoudin
Letter 10: From ???? to ????
Open your door to me! You know how impor-
tant it is for me to see ceremonial items! I love you
too much to tell you this secret!
God, I hope she will forgive me one
day! I cannot put her in danger!
Letter 11: From Dawn of Gods to Lord Montcalfe
Dawn of Gods

My Lord.
Following your last telegram from Cairo, we
are sending you the second letter confirming
that we will cover your expenses for the expe-
dition you will conduct.
Please, keep in mind that we insist on keeping
our correspondence in total secret, so destroy
this letter after having read it.
Upon your return you will partly be able
to furnish your manor, to make some kind of
private collection, I hope that during the next
trip you will enlarge it.
Best wishes
J.

Sir,
We know that you last expedi-
tion was more successful than you
officially said! Our association is
aware that you have kept some
items, which you were supposed to
hand over to our representatives.
We are not going to make this
affair public and dishonor your
name, but we are ready to use any
means at our disposal to get back
what belongs to us.

Letter 14: Note 2
It is advised to be very attentive with the
dose. Overdosing can result in death, very calm
however. Using opium as a tranquilizer usually
brings very bad consequences.
Letter 15: From Lord Montcalfe to "friend"
Dear friend
I have received your letter concerning your
explanation of the superstition around
cursed tombs. In fact as you already know, I
have never believed that, but I have to
tell you that I have begun to have terrible
nightmares, which often exhaust me. People
working in my manor think I am becoming
crazy. Every night the same nightmare comes
back. Some servants have even seen gaunt sil-
houettes roaming my house.
I have read many books looking for some-
thing to take away the spell but have not
found anything for now. I beg you to go to
Khan el-Khalili and find some amulet or some
other spell, which will save me from it.
Lord Montcalfe
Letter 16: Book page
Egyptian legends tells up that it is
very dangerous to disturb the rest of
the dead Pharaohs as a spell will be cast
on the person who committed that act,
as well as all members of his family,
including those who were not born at
the moment. It is very difficult to fight
against such a spell. However, the
power of the spell is often limited by
the power of the priest who cast that
spell.
Some legends tell us about desecra-
tors that were haunted by nightmares or
by ghosts of dead people from the
tomb. Usually they died very soon
after.
In Cairo, in the Khan el-Khalili
there is a market of booksellers, and an
unfortunate man has a chance to find
some protection. Whatever, we have to
be sure that it works.
27
Letter 17: Book page
We note that most of civilization
distinguished primary elements such
as fire, air, ground, and water.
Some also add dust and ice. Repre-
sentation in symbols refers to it
too, but however it is possible to
find common patterns. It is
common to drawwater as a droplet
or as waves, for the ground often a
tree or a triangle was used; fire is
usually drawn as a flame and air as
a whirlwind.
169
Letter 18: From Lord Montcalfe to ????
Also I have seen that rascal Parkey
in my house. I think he has cor-
rupted one of my servants. I followed
him; he roams in my house looking for
treasure. He can look as much as he
wants. He will never be able to find
anything. I have prepared a surprise
for him!
Letter 19: From Lord Montcalfe to ????
I am sure I'm turning crazy. It con-
tinues to follow me. I try to run away
from it but I can't. Yesterday after-
noon I saw it. I was working and sud-
denly I could smell the rotten scent of
a tomb. It was in the doorway. Then
I tried to find it myself in the house,
but it was gone. My servants look at
me more and more strangely.
I was at Doctor's Synder and he has
prescribed laudanum for me and
advised me to go somewhere to rest.
He does not understand me and
thinks I am crazy. Laudanum helps
me, but I am not sure that I will be
able to keep it up
Letter 20; Book page
Introduction to India
India has a very complicated social
system, which is defined by castes. The
entire society is divided on the castes:
the highest is a caste of Brahmans, then
goes Ksatriya i.e. warriors, the Vaisya -
caste of peasant and finally Sudra -
caste of slave and servers
However the most disraced people are
the laborer as they do not belong to any
caste.

Letter 21: From Lord Montcalfe to ????
I finally finished arranging the treasure
room. It is pretty well secured now, and I can't
wait to find the stolen Anubis status. I will
just have to add it to the four hidden
statues and stop the spell. I don't care about
this kind of immortality! I wish to rest and
reincarnate! The holy fire will allow me to
access it, wait and see...
I should hurry now: this association
"Dawn Of Gods" manipulated me! They are
tracking me! This is that sect of Anubis who
wants to recover statues that I found during
an expedition they sponsored! What a fool I've
been! I cannot trust anybody! I have hidden
my treasure. No one will steal it. I am sure
that Jonathan can easily dilapidate them.
Every family has its black sheep. It is not
right that such a man receives my collection.
I have prepared a surprise for him if he tries
to seize it

house. It looks like it knows everything here.
Even me, I have never been aware of all the hidden
places which are here...
It is very dangerous, I fear to approach it.
There really is some mystery here! Anyway I
can't believe that it is several thousand years old.

I know that you're looking for truth in the disappearance
of Lord Montcalfe. The last mentioned was murdered
by his cousin, Jonathan Parkey.
Yuo will find the body of the deceased in his own manor
under the bandages of Khaepaseth mummy and the guilty
one on the crime place, probably pillaging his uncle's
collection...
Letter 31: Newspaper
Unsolved case
Scotland Yard has announced that they found a statue,
which was stolen during a reception at the Egyptian
embassy. Everyone remembers that during the attack,
a servant was killed. Moreover the statur, a gift from
Lord Montcalfe, was not valuable. Sir Jonathan Parkey
was first accused, according to the description
provided by the dying servant. He provided three
witnesses that confirmed, he was playing bridge whilst
the crime was being committed.
The mystery stays unresolved for now.

My dear Uncle, I am writing again to solieit and
ask to trade your treasure. Everybody knows that
you are now feeling unwell, and I think that in
your present state, you will not be able to make the
right decisions concerning the valuable artifacts
you possess. I am asking you to provide me with a

family treasure.
I look forward to hearing from you soon. Do not
forget that no one is immortal!!
Yours sincerely,

Section 10 - Summary [RATE]
Perhaps "Summary" is the wrong word for this section, but "Rating" seemed a bit
misleading even though that's what this really is. "Impressions" would also be
appropriate and misleading. In any case, I will be rating the various aspects
of the game on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being perfect and 1 being absolute junk.
For ease of rating, I will only be using whole numbers.
Story - 8/10
Ancient Egypt is always interesting.
Controls - 4/10
Movement was horrendous. Just trying to get across a room was a pixel hunt
and the camera turned too quickly. The environment needed to be more
interactive.
Voice Acting - 2/10
Laughable at best. Accents were terrible and Holmes' voice was annoying at
times.
Sound - 9/10
Sound did everything it was supposed to, but didn't really rise above
expectations. Small glitch during the last cutscene, but I think that was
my disc, not the game itself.
Difficulty - 10/10
The game could have used more direction. Several times, I was stuck simply
because I had no idea what to do next. The puzzles were challenging, but
not impossible.
Cutscenes - 7/10
Except for the beginning and the ending, the cutscenes were rather
unnecessary.
Tiny Unimportant Details - 1/10
Despite taking place in 19th century London, the characters did not have
British accents, the American spelling of words was used, and the last
four items in the real register were "found" in 1998, 100 years after the
game takes place!
Overall - 5/10
General Opinion: meh :-/ Should have borrowed it from a friend.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
