DISCWORLD NOIR HINTS V1.0
-------------------------
Here are some handy hints for anyone stuck in Discworld Noir, Perfect /
Teeny Weeny's Pratchett-related film noir tribute game. The hints are
ordered by Act, and are in turn split up into three categories, Hints,
Nudges, and Spoilers, each level offering progressively more help,
Spoilers offering, er, spoilers. This is in text format - it's probably
best to view this
using a Word Processing package or Word with word wrap one as there are
a few long lines
in thss - I'll fix this later. I'll also be putting out a walkthrough
soon - about a week
after these hints were written, about the 18th of July. The walkthrough
and any updated
versions of this hint file can be found on the Discworld Game Pages
(also in HTML format and
user-friendly javascript operated hint-o-matic format) at

Q. How do I get started on the case?
A. Go down the Wharf and speak to the First Mate. Make general
chit-chat with him then ask him
about The Milka's Passengers , The Milka and Mundy. Then, go and speak
to the Cafe Ankh and
speak with Nobby about Vimes. Next, go back to Lewton's Office, to meet

give you enough information
to get into the investigation.
Q. How do I get on board the Milka and what do I do there?
A. Go to the Cafe Ankh, enter the side alley where the golem is loading
barrels, and take the
crowbar from the cart. Go to the side of the Wharf, and use the crowbar

skylight. Pick up the
matchbook in the warehouse and leave the way you came in.

scrap of paper from the cabin on the Milka on the matchbook to put them
both together,
revealing that it says '9 Whalebone Lane', the address of the Octarine
Parrot. Talk to Mankin
the bar-elf about the matchbook, which proves Mundy has been to the
Parrot. Talk to him about
Lies, and he'll tell you Mundy is upstairs. So go through the exit at

-------
Q. How do I find out more about Mundy's murder?
A. Try searching his body and the room and noting anything interesting -
speak to Mankin and
Sapphire, then visit the casino and check out your employer's alibi.
It's also worth speaking
to a certain conspiracy minded temple inhabitant about the way Mundy was
killed - and using this
info to learn something more from someone who may well have been nosing
around the murder scene.
Q. How do I prove Sapphire was lying?
A. Speak to various folks down at the casino and her employer to see if
you can disprove
Sapphire's story.
Q. How do I find Regin?

on the case. Ask
around - in particular, check out where Regin may have been going, and
remember to ask
a policeman.

You have to spot the difference, to find out where Regin's hiding a
certain item. Then,
once you have it, ask around to find out where the item can be used.
Q. How do I get to meet Therma?
If you've blackmailed Sapphire into setting up a meeting then you just
need to take
care of the Regin case and things should start moving.
Q. I've been arrested - what do I do?
A. Wait and see how the cell's other smaller occupants make their
escape, then follow
their cue, and try to escape through the back of the next cell. Then,
you'll get a reprieve.

A. There's only one living witness, one who isn't going anywhere, so
speak to him.
Q. How do I track down the sword?
A. Speak to one of your employers about the cargo the Milka was carrying
for a little
assistance, then try tracking the item down. You won't find the crate,
so see if you can
find out what else was being shipped with the sword, and where these
items were delivered,
and ask about them. Get into the room where they ended up and speak to
the occupants of the
room to find out where the sword went - but you may have to help someone
out before you
can get in there.
Q. Where can Two Conkers hide?
A. Try hiding him somewhere you've already been yourself, and know to be
pretty safe -
though escapable.
Q. How do I get into the Archaeologist's guild vault?
A. Distract the occupant of the guild by setting up a meeting with an
old aquaintance,
then check out the various fixtures and fittings to find a secret
passageway. There's
someone versed in matters of magical security who can help you beat the
security system,
so offer them something lucky and they'll help you out. To actually find
out the reference
number for the correct crate, just remember what position Mundy was in
when he scrawled
that message, match the number with the crates and you'll find what
you're looking for. Then
use an object sharp enough to cut glass on the cabinet, to find the
sword and
a whole lot more besides.
Spoilers:

room at the back left of
the bar and speak to her. She'll tell you about the money (learning
about the Saphire's money
topic) and the casino (learning the location of Saturnalia). Speak to
Mankin again about
Sapphire's money (to learn about Sapphire's secret meeting). Go to
Saturnalia and enter the

a meeting with Therma for you.
Q. How do I find Regin?
A. After visiting Horst, go to Saturnalia and speak to Carlotta about
the Golden Sword.
When she's finished with you, you'll have learnt about Regin so speak to
the Count about him who
gives you an iconograph of Regin and asks you to find him. Go to the
Wharf and show the
iconograph to the First Mate - you'll learn about Regin's carriage.Then,
go to Pseudopolis and
ask Nobby about the carriage to find out that it was seen heading to the
Maudlin Bridge..
visit the bridge and take the bit of red cloth off the railings. Go to
the Count and show it to
him to identify it as part of the carriage. Go to the now empty wharf
and use the grapnel on
the mooring line to get the rope. Go back to Maudlin bridge and use the
grapnel
and rope on the river to dredge it and learn there's something in the
river. Go to Rhodan's
workshop and speak to Malachite about this something in the river, then
give him the rope and
grapnel and he'll pull it out for you, finding out about Regin's murder.
Q. How do I find out what Regin has been hiding?
A. On Maudlin Bridge, look at Regin's body and use the iconograph to to
find the key. Speak to
the Count about Regin's murder, if you want, and then go to Saturnalia
and speak to Whirl about
your purse, bribing him. Then ask him about Sapphire's money - learning
that Sapphire has had a
losing streak, and the key, learning that it's a key for a safety
deposit box here. Head to the
left of the casino, to the deposit boxes, and use the key on the boxes
to open Regin's locker,
getting an empty envelope and a charm bracelet.
Q. How do I get to meet Therma?
A. Once you've proved Sapphire is lying, you have to find Regin's hidden
item, and then
when you return to your office you'll find a note waiting for you. So
read the note and go
and speak to Malachite about the meeting with Therma to set events in
motion.
Q. I've been arrested - what do I do?
A. Events will take an unexpected twist and you'll be caught and
questioned by the watch - say
anything you like to them, till you get the 'give up' topic. Use this
and you'll be put in a
cell at the Patrician's palace. In the cell, stand still till a Rat
appears and wait till it
goes through the wall, revealing a crack. Use the crack to reveal a
loose block, then use the
block to get into the cell next door - Leonard Da Quirm's cell - look at
the gaping hole to
learn how you can get back into the cell later, and then you'll be
called back to your cell
and released.

meet Ilsa and
Two-conkers. Speak to Ilsa about the Varberg crates - you'll need to
find a hiding place for Two Conkers for her to help you get
into the Archaologist's guild.
Q. Where can Two Conkers hide?
A. Go to the Patrician's palace and click on the 'Hiding Place' topic in
your book and then

Conkers so go back to the
Wine Cellar. Now Two Conkers will go and hide with Leonard Da Quirm and
Ilsa will let you into the Archaologist's guild.
Q. How do I get into the Archaeologist's guild vault?
A. Once Ilsa has let you into the guild in return for you hiding Two
Conkers, go inside the
guild and speak to Laredo Cronk about Jasper Horst. Then visit Horst and
speak to him about
Laredo to arrange a meeting between them. Go back to Laredo and tell her

about
the merchant's murder, to learn the location of the Merchants guild. Go
to the Merchants guild and speak to the doorman about 'dead mens pointy
boots' and he'll spill the beans on the Merchant's murder. So go back to
the
Count in the Von Uberwald mansion, and speak to Death about the murder,
and he'll fill in the
final details - now you know how he was killed.
Q. How do I get lead on the cult?
A. Look at the moss outside Saturnalia, then go to to the Von Uberwald
mansion, and speak to

library.
Go to the library and look up (by using the appropriate clue or item on
the
index cards) the moss, then the sewers, learning about the entrance to
the
sewers. Visit the sewers and walk through the first sewer entrance,
turn into a wolf, and
follow the trail twice till you find the strange nest - search the
debris,
and take the gold pendant and after a brief but
non-essential-to-the-plot
chat, leave the sewers.

look up the Temple of Anu Anu to learn the copy of the book there has a
page missing. Go back to the New Hall and go into the dorms, and turn
into a wolf to find
out what's on the blackboard. Open the sturdy locker, and use the books
to
see what subjects are there. Then, use the 'Temple of Anu-Anu' clue on
the board to write it in octarine chalk, making it one of the required
subjects for studying. Leave the Hall, then return to find a book about
temples
featuring the pendant in the locker. Use the pendant with the book on
temples
to open it and get a list of members of the Cult of Anu Anu.
Q. How do I infiltrate the cult?
A. Speak to Carlotta about Regin's murder, then Malachite's murder, then
her alibi and she'll
tell you she worships Errata. So go and look up Errata in the library
to find out a little more. Go to the dressing room,
turn into a wolf, and look at the smell of the perfume. Then, change
back and pick up the perfume. Go to the temple of
Small Gods and tell Mooncalf, the person you saw through the stained
glass window, about the list to unsettle him. Go
back to the graveyard, stand just below the stained glass window and
turn
into a werewolf. Look at the stained glass window and use the window to
listen
to Mooncalf's conversation, and learn about the true believers meeting.
Go back inside
the temple and speak to Macaclypse about the true believers meeting,
then Errata, then
then the Inner Sanctum and he'll get you into the sanctum. Look at the
altar, use
it, so that you end up beneath the altar while the sermon's going on.
Then,
use the perfume on Mooncalf's foot and you'll follow him to the
sanctuary.
Q. What do I do in the sanctuary?
A. Look at the fresco, then the strange symbol on the fresco, then use
the strange symbol and Lewton will make a note of it.
Go back to the Von Uberwald libary and look up the symbol, to find out
it's the Elver Symbol, and also Nylonathep, to find out a
bout the octagram of murders. Then, you need to use the map to find out
where the next murder will take place.
Q. How do I catch the murderer in the act?
A. Use the octogram of murders clue on the map to work out which murders
are missing. Go to the Dysk theatre, and get the flyer, then take it
back to the Von Uberwald library and look it up to find references to
the
various murders in the plays, then look up the eight great tragedies in
the
library to find out specific details. Go to Dagon Street, use the
crowbar
on the shop front on the left, look at the debris, and look at the bone
(
you'll work this one later). Go back to the Dysk theatre, walk close
to the base of the stage and turn into a wolf. This will show up the
marks
on the stage base, so use the Elver Sign clue on the marks to open a
hidden
passage. Go down into the passage and use the eight great tragedies on
the circle sea map to find out where the last murder will take place.
So,
go to the Wizard's Pleasaunce and use the bushes to hide, eventually
ending
the act - in a none too pleasant way.

A. At the Mausoleum, use the Astrolabe on the sky to find out which
crypt holds the Trapezohedron, go to the crypt and
use the Grotesque on top of the Crypt to open it. Go inside the crypt
and use Mundy's coin on the indent to open the
Sarcophagus, then talk to the zombie and threaten him with the sword to
get the Jewel - the Radiant Trapezohedron itself. When
you leave, you'll be confronted by Horst who will take the Golden Sword
off you.

Carlotta, and get the Golden Sword back into the bargain.
