------------ DAY 1
Problem:
St. George's Book Shop
Hint:
Every morning read the paper by the coffeepot for hints on things to do every
day. On the table you can find a magnifying glass and tweezers. On the top left
shelf of the bookshelves on the back wall you can find a book by "Heinz
Ritter". On the right top shelf of the bookshelves there is a book on Snakes.
Read both books. On the book shelf under the window you can find a
German/English dictionary. Open the cash register and get a gift certificate.
Use the "Question" icon on Grace, and ask her for messages. This will put the
Police Station and Grandma Knight's place on your map. Later in the day, you
will need to ask Grace to do some research on Malia Gedde. (This triggers the
end of the day.)
Problem:
Grandma Knight's house.
Hint:
Use the "Question" icon on Grandma Knight, and ask about "Family" and "Family
Members". This will put the cemetery on the French Quarters Map. Go to the
attic and take the sketchbook. Put the "operate" icon on the clock. You will
see a close-up of the clock. Move the hands to 3:00 with the move icon. Move
the outer circle until the dragon is at the top of the clock. Use "Operate" on
the windup key. This will open the bottom drawer of the clock. Take the photo
and letter. Open your inventory to look at the photo and read the letter.
Reading the letter adds "Heinz Ritter" in Grandma's topic and adds
"shattenjager" to Global topics. Go ask Grandma about Heinz Ritter.
Problem:
Police Station
Hint:
Ask the desk sergeant about Mosely. He will give you an envelope from Mosely.
Go into inventory and open the envelope to reveal a murder photo and Mosely's
graduation picture.
Problem:

Hint:
Ask Mosely about the patterns at the crime scene, this will put "Other
Patterns" in the topic menu. He will tell you about six other partial patterns.
Ask about them. This will let you know that Officer Franks has the "case file".
Go talk to Officer Franks and have her pull the case file for you.
Problem:
How can I get a copy of the Crime Scene file?
Hint:
Request another photo of Mosely with you for your book. Officer Franks will
come in to take the photo. At this point use the dialogue choice to leave the
room, (Hold on a sec while I go check my hair.) Once you leave, take the file
out of the in box at officer Franks desk, and make a photo copy. (This puts
veve copy in your inventory.) Then go back in for your picture with Mosely. If
you steal the file, officer Franks will no longer talk with you.
Problem:
Jackson Square
Hint:
Go to the Northwest room of Jackson Square, and walk close to the mime. You
will notice he follows whoever walks closely to him. Get the mime to follow you
by walking up to him. It is somewhat difficult to make him follow you. Every
time someone walks close enough he will follow them, so avoid other people if
you can. Once you get him to follow you, go to the motorcycle cop. The mime
will make fun of the cop and the cop will chase him out of the picture. When
the cop is gone, use the "operate" icon on his motorcycle radio. This will give
you the "Crime Scene" on your greater New Orleans Map.
Problem:
Lake Pontchartrain
Hint:
Look at the veve marks on the ground. This will add "Patterns" to Mosely's
topic. Use the magnifying glass on the marks in the grass. The grass is on the
right side corner by the tree. This will give you a close-up of a snake scale.

the sketchbook on the pattern that surrounded the body. This puts "lake
pattern" in inventory. Take some clay by the waters edge.

12 rooms. There are a total of 12 tiles. You cannot take tiles 7 and 12. The
room with the face carved into the wall is room number 7. Each tile has a
number of snakes corresponding to the number of each room. Match each tile with
the correct tile spot. Once you have the tiles in place, go to room number 3.
Be sure to save your game. Use the Snake Rod on the Snake Tile. This wakes the
dead guards. You must run "clock wise" to room number 7 without getting caught.
In room number 6 you will be confronted by several guards. The only way past
them is to use the "Operate" icon on the vine hanging down in the middle. Gabe
will swing out and knock over one of the guards. In room 7, Wolfgang will
appear. He will hold off the guards while you use the "Snake Rod" on tile
number 7. This will operate the secret passage to the "Inner Snake Mound Room".

Problem:
The Final Confrontation
Hint:
When Tetelo comes to sacrifice Grace, use the Talisman on Tetelo. Toss the the
Talisman to Mosely. Once Tetelo grabs Gabriel, use the "Pick Up" icon on the
"Stone Idol". The stone idol will appear under the ceremonial table. At this
point you have two options to end the game. First, betray Malia and use the
knife on her. Then you can either do nothing, or use the "Pick Up" icon on
Malia while she is hanging in the pit. Either choice will lead you to The End.
Notes: I got this directly off of The Sierra BBS, and although I edited out
the prompts and stuff, it's exactly what was up there (unless I accidentally
deleted something). Anyhow, great game, hope you enjoy it.
