Moonbeam’s Residence 1st visit.{ Max. points = 9 }

***** Talk to her and exhaust ALL dialogues. [+ 3 points]

***** In inventory use the Magnifying Glass to magnify Grimwald’s Snake Skin. It is quite different from the snake scale picked up at the crime scene!. And so, Moonbeam is NOT implicated in the murders! [+ 1 point]

This is a puzzle. If you have severe difficulties, access the hints below:-
(i) View the ‘mechanism’… There are 13 coloured rectangular panels arranged in two rows, each containing one (random) alphabetical letter. Beneath them are 13 round similar coloured lever-knobs, Fairly near to the top left hand corner is a round red coloured button containing the word ‘START’.
(ii) Press ‘START’.
(iii) The 13 letters form two words. But they only remain fixed for a very short time. If you don’t read them correctly you can repeat this as often as you need to!
(iv) To solve the puzzle you have to make the two words remain permanently.
(v) Click on the 13 coloured knobs, either once or more each as necessary, in order to change the random letters into the requisite ‘ T r u s t e d F r i e n d ‘.
One way of doing this, (not necessarily the most efficient, is to start from the left hand knob and work to the end at the right.
However, although not difficult, it is not quite as straightforward as that – By making just a few letters correct (not all) they ‘undo’ other letters that you have previously fixed correctly.
But this is not a serious problem. Simply keep returning to the first letter to the left which is incorrect and correct it and continue to the right. doing the same.
(v1) After just one or a very few iterations of (v), the puzzle is solved.
N.B. There is a more efficient way (just a few less steps) of completing this puzzle, but it is a complete spoiler with no obvious tangible reasoning! [+ 2 points]
***** L:ook at the Voodoo Code in inventory. Now, beneath each of the symbols is a letter of the alphabet as follows:- ” D J C O N C L A V E T O N I G H T B R I N G F W E T K A S H “.
***** It seems that the person who left the message was no too proficient with the coding and the correct message was probably meant to be… ” DJ Conclave Tonight Bring Fresh Cash “.
***** Could the letters ‘D J’ imply that the message was intended for Dr. John??
***** Exit Moonbeam’s Residence onto the map of the French Quarter and from there move to the Voodoo Museum.

Voodoo Museum 2nd visit.{ Max. points = 5 }
***** The front door to the museum is unlocked and so Gabriel enters.
***** It is pitch dark inside – the lights are out! Nobody is inside.
***** A deadly snake (a python) attacks Gabriel and starts to choke him.
***** You have to work fairly quickly in order to save Gabriel’s life. But don’t panic and keep a cool head. If you get killed once or twice or several times don’t despair – Gabriel can very easily be resurrected as often as you need!!
***** If however you get killed too often &/or can’t act quickly then follow these easy steps:-
(i) Immediately before entering the museum and whilst still on the map, SAVE your game!!
(ii) For a while YOU CAN’T DO ANUTHING since you have no cursor and you cannot interact with the game AT ALL!. Don’t worry!!
(iii) The way I succeeded eventually was as follows:-
(iii) After a short while depress your keyboard space bar and keep your finger down on it.
(iv) As soon as the cursor appears the hot spots will be displayed.
(v) Remember from your previous visit to the Voodoo Museum that the python is afraid of the noise of the fan when operated!!
(vi) Quickly access the fan’s switch (left of the window and right of the door) and turn it on.
Its noise frightens the snake and it slithers away.
***** Gabriel’s life is saved.
***** Dr. John enters and switches on the lights. He doesn’t seem to be overly astonished or perturbed about the goings on, Gabriel’s life threatening escape from certain death or the fact that the museum was empty and dark and that the front door was left open???
***** Gabriel leaves the Voodoo Museum onto the map of the French Quarter and from there returns to his Book Store.
