Chapter 2
back to the
light…
Samuel dreams of a man
under water and a key dropping to the bottom of the water.
There’s a knock on the
door. Bates informs you that Henry was found dead in the pond. Detective wants
to speak to you in the Common Room. After the interrogation and before he left,
the detective said that he will close the case after Dr. Hermann’s report.
Find out what
happened to Henry:
Stables – Talk
to Morris.

broken window.

Go to the fountain and see a footprint by just above the puddle on the ground.
Click twice and then right click the fountain. There is something glittering
at bottom.
Greenhouse –
Look at right drawer and see a metal box that is locked. We need the key.
Get Morris’
key:
After
remembering the dream and the seeing something glittering under the water in the
fountain, we have to see how to get it.
Cellar by
kitchen – See that the cellar door is open. Enter and talk to Bates at far
right. Learn that there’s a pump that controls the water flow in the castle. Go
to rear of cellar.
Rear of cellar
– Look at the pump and then the pump control. Since you don’t know what to do
yet, go talk to Bates. Bates will explain that the fountain column is the second
from the right and that you can adjust the amount of water in those columns by
using the other 3 wheels. Go back to pump control.
Pump Control
puzzle – Save game here. The object of the puzzle is to lower (L-R)
#3 column to no water seen.
This can be done is
several ways. Note the height of the columns when one of the wheels is turned.
Note that (L-R) columns 1 and 3 can be raised to the highest point before all
the wheels can not be turned anymore. Note that the last column #4 can be
raised only midway before locking all the wheels.
The best strategy is
to lower #4 column enough to allow #1 and 3 columns to be moved.
This is one way to
do this puzzle if the wheels are not yet turned. So if you have touched the
wheels – go back to a saved game and then turn from L-R wheels: Wheel #2
– left click once. Wheel #1 – right click 7 times. Wheel #4 – left click once.
If correctly done, you will hear a glurb glurb and Samuel will say READY!

grate? – Go to each sewer grate and drop a coin (right click

letting in water. The one for letting in the water is closed. See a cogwheel
floating at right edge of the murky water. Combine hook and rope together
and use it on cogwheel – the rope is bending too much.
– To get
cogwheel in murky water:
Open the closed
water outlet – Go to the railing on the left of the platform and take a
loose rod. Use rod on the opening on the pillar but it is too wide.
Remember what Bates was doing at the cellar. Go to the cellar above and use
the rod on the grinder. Go back and use sharpened rod on the opening
underground. That opened the flap of the drain. Aack – no water.
To get water to
flow – Use acid on the chains holding the wheel. Then turn the wheel.
Water flows.
Cogwheel –
The cogwheel reached the level of the drain but is still unreachable. Used the
combined rope and hook taken from the well on the cogwheel. The rope is still
bending too much. Combine rod on rope and hook to make a fishing pole. Use it
to fish the cogwheel.
– Drain the
murky water: Go back to the mechanism with red wheel.
Place the 2 cogwheels on the cogwheel above the red wheel. Turn the wheel and
the mechanism is running. Go back to the underground and see that the murky
water is drained.
