Chapter 8: Day 3 part three: Ending
As Gabriel
9:00: The Final stage of the game is about to begin
We are gathered in Gabe's room. Emilio and Mesmi explain a few things. It is then decided that Gabriel, Mesmi and Mosely will enter the Underground Temple.
Grace will stay in Gabe's room with Emilio and give hint via Mesmi's radio. Gabriel and Mosely and Mesmi have prepared their plan and leave for the temple entrance.
You will regain control of Gabriel in the first room of this temple. The temple consists of 5 rooms. The 5th room is the "Holiest of Holies" where you have to play the final game. Gabriel has to make his way through each of the rooms to eventually end up in the Holiest or Holies. Each room contains a puzzle that needs to be solved and Gabe can die in every room...... So SAVE your game frequently now. We start in the first room. I call it the Chessboard Chamber
Chessboard room puzzle:
Gabriel, Mosely and Mesmi are standing at the beginning of a chessboard floor. They have to cross over the floor to the other side and then go through the door to the next room.
The "chessboard" floor is of course a floor of 8 * 8 tiles, so there are 64 tiles. On the tiles you see Swords, Skulls and some tiles have no image. So you have to move Gabe from tile to tile in a certain order in order to safely reach the other side. You have to do this according to the HORSE JUMP move of the chess game. If you land on a SWORD tile, it becomes dark and Gabe is safe. If you land on a SKULL tile Gabe will die. A WHITE tile is neutral, but you can not go back.
The intention is to enter each sword tile only once and thus to get to the other side. The sword tile that is just in front of the door on the other side must be THE LAST TILE on which you land. If you succeed, the door will go open and you can enter the next room. You can get hints from Grace via the radio. Just click somewhere and then choose the radio icon. You then have a connection with Grace in the hotel and she can give you directions. First zoom in, via the "Inspect" icon in the Action menu first on the floor .......
There are, of course, several solutions to safely reach the other side, but here's my solution.
Number the COLUMNS of the tile floor, from left to right, as 1 to 8 and number the ROWS of the floor, from top to bottom as A to H.
You jump from tile to tile via the "Jump" icon in the Action menu. Left click on the tile where you want Gabe to jump to, to open the Action menu on that tile an then click the "Jump" icon.
First jump to tile on H4 because that is Gabe's starting tile ....... the camera position then changes ........
From H4 you do the following jumps:
H4 to G6; G6 to F4; F4 to H5; H5 to G3; G3 to H1; H1 to F2;
F2 to D3; D3 to E1; E1 to C2; C2 to E3; E3 to D1; D1 to B2; B2 to A4; A4 to B6; B6 to A8; A8 to C7;
C7 to E8; E8 to F6; F6 to G8; G8 to H6; H6 to F7; F7 to D8; D8 to B7; B7 to C5; C5 to B3; B3 to A5.
On A5 Gabe is safe and he yells to Mosely and Mesmi that he has reached the other side ......
Gabe goes through the door into the next room:
Temple Circle Room:
Stay put in the door opening and look around to see what is happening in this room. and SAVE YOUR GAME NOW
Let Gabe stand in the gate but use your arrow keys, or your mouse, to enter the room to look around ........ This is a large circular space. It is a deep fall down into the pit and when Gabe falls down he dies. You see a damn big AX swinging from wall to wall. This ax is obviously also deadly. In the middle of the deep pit a PILLAR is pointing up. On the Pillar there is a platform with a number of objects on it. A floor is rotating through the room along the wall. First you have to get Gabe on that PLATFORM that's on top of the pillar and you must do this via the swinging axe
Observe the rotating floor. The floor is divided into tiles. On one of the tiles is a GOLDEN SQUARE.
Follow the rotating floor with the camera and see which tile of the floor is simultaneously with the ax at the left wall. That is the Gray Tile behind the GOLDEN SQUARE tile.
Gabe must be standing on this Gray Tile when the Ax is hooked in the wall ..... Now do the following ...... Make sure you see Gabe standing in the gate ........Wait until the tile with the Golden Square is near the gate and then quickly click with your arrow on the tile ....... Gabe will jump on the Golden Square tile ....... Quickly ..... Follow the rotating floor with the camera and quickly click on the Gray Tile A and ......
Gabe lands on the Gray Tile A ........the rotating floor carries Gabe to where the Ax will hook into the left wall ............
WAIT and KEEP READY TO CLICK the AXE As soon as the AXE is at the left wall, you quickly place your cursor on the axe.
If you do this fast enough then you will get the FIST icon on the axe ...... CLICK quickly and ............
Gabe jumps to the Axe and he will now stand on the axe
When you have Gabe stand on the Axe .... SAVE YOUR GAME again. On the axe Gabe swings from left to right and from right to left .....However, Gabe must jump from the ax to the platform that's top of the pillar. Place your arrow cursor on the platform. Every time the Axe approaches the Pillar, you will get, very briefly, the FIST icon However, if you click too soon, Gabe will jump down but he will miss the platform and dies. So you have to click with the FIST icon at precisely the RIGHT moment so that Gabe lands on top of the pillar.
This is really a matter of "Trial and Error" . You can do this when the Axe moves from right to left, but also when the axe goes from the left. Wait with clicking until the axe is close to the pillar. Then quickly click with the white FIST icon and Gabe will land safely on top of the pillar. Did you succeed ... SAVE GAME again
On the platform you'll find a scale and a number of golden objects. You now have to place 3 of the golden objects in the scale in the correct order. Ask Grace for advice.
The correct order is: first the Infinite symbol (1), second the Egg (2) and third the Apple (3). You click on the objects with the "Scale" icon .......
If you do this correctly, the pillar drops completely and Gabe moves on to the next room. We then see another conversation between Grace and Emilio.
Emilio tells us further and then we are back at Gabe who enters the:
Temple Hexagram room:
Gabe has entered the front hall of the Hexagram Room through another "slide". Turn to the left and then enter the actual Hexagram room through the narrow door. In this room there are a number of niches in which there are triangular altars on which there are always 2 objects. There are also a few dark corners. Investigate everything and ask Grace to explain the different objects, such as the Solomon statue and the Latin texts. Gabe must choose the RIGHT of the 2 objects on all altars. Do the following:
Go to the niche with the 2 gloves and take the LEATHER glove. Gabriel will automatically put on the glove.
Walk to the altar with a bowl of fire and a bowl of water. Use the "Inspect" icon to look at the scale with fire.
There is an object in the fire bowl. Click on it and click on the Glove Icon, or the "Pick Up" icon.
With the gloved hand you take the object, a STONE, out of the fire. Gabe will bring the Leather Glove back. Now go to the niche with the 2 statues.
The left statue looks like a devil and the right statue looks like a knight. Now place the newly acquired stone in the extended hand of the Devil.
The dark corners are then illuminated and in each of these "new" niches there is also an altar. First go and examine these new altars again and if necessary ask Grace again for an explanation. Then go to the niche with the two mirrors and the button. The mirrors are tilted upwards. Stand on each of the platforms in front of the mirrors, via the "Step" icon.
Gabriel sees himself in the mirrors. In one of the mirrors Gabe will be seen as himself and in the other mirror Gabe sees himself as an OLD MAN.
Remember in which mirror Gabe looks like an OLD MAN. This was in the left mirror. There is an arrow handle at the top of the triangle altar. Click on the Arrow handle and then turn the handle with the pivot arrow to the mirror where Gabe saw himself as the OLD MAN. For me, this was left.
Then go to the altar with the three buttons. Press the button with the Yin-Yang symbol.
If you have asked Grace to explain everything in this room, you know which button this is......... it is the button on the top left.
When you have pressed the good button, the door will open to the next room and Gabe will enter the
Temple VEIL room.
This is the last room before the "Holiest of Holies". This is also the last possible chance to SAVE YOUR GAME and I advice you to do so because once in the "Holiest of Holies" you CAN NOT SAVE. Also make sure that you have selected Gabriel's TALISMAN in your inventory so that you will have quick access to it in the endgame.
Mosely and Mesmi will come into the room behind Gabe. Examine the room, and ask Grace again for advice. The room is divided in two sections by a deep gap. On the other side you can see a very large "Energy Curtain" and that is the entrance to the final. But you have to go over the gap first. SAVE YOUR GAME NOW FIRST and then go over the fixed bridge, which goes right over the gorge and ............
Ok ...... ok ..... the fixed bridge was not such a good idea .... the bridge breaks off an Gabe plunges into the depth and dies ..... Click on "Retry" to start over in this room again.
Now stand exactly between the two pillars, standing just before the fixed bridge, on the edge. Right on the other side of the gorge are also 2 pillars. But there is no "bridge" between them. THIS IS THE HIDDEN BRIDGE. You see a bridge segments appear, and disappear again. You now have to jump to the other side via these, appearing and disappearing segments, but of course you can only jump on an "illuminated" segment......
It's a matter of jumping at the right time..... The route you follow does not matter that much, but you must jump from segment to segment at the RIGHT TIME ... You jump onto the next illuminated tile with your usual arrow cursor .... SAVE FIRST before you start this crossing ......... Spring on the first illuminated tile and click on the next as soon as it appears and you and in this way you work your way to the other side. Do not stay on a segment for too long, because they disappear again and when Gabe stands on it he will fall down and die.
You will probably go wrong a few times and then you have to start again via RETRY or via RESTORE. Eventually you succeed, just like me, to reach the other side.
Once Gabe is on the last tile you can quickly click on the solid floor to get Gabe off the tile .....Mosely and Mesmi then follow Gabe ......... Then 3 VAMPIRES jump through the Energy Curtain ....
Mosely and Mesmi will deal with these 3 vampires while Gabe enters the Holy of Holies through the energy curtain
Holiest of Holies:
END GAME
There is no time to explore a few things at ease and you can not Save anymore. THIS IS THE FINAL ...... Gabe dies or stays alive. If Gabe dies, you click Retry to try again.
You see the prince's son tied an altar in the middle of the room. Montreaux, the head VAMPIRE, is right next to it. Look at the scene in which Montreaux eventually summons up the DEMON. What a nice little monster! ..... Gabe will automatically take out his dagger and his Schattenjäger medallion. You can now quickly call Grace for a hint on how to kill this beast. "All demons have a weak spot", Gracie will tell you.
You can see the BIG ALTAR on the left in this large room. Gabe goes towards this altar, walking backwards. Keep clicking behind Gabe with your usual arrow cursor so that Gabe keeps moving back to that big altar and thus stays out of the clutches of the Demon. If Gabe is then approximately at the height of 2 rear lamp post, at point A in this screenshot, then quickly click on the altar and you will get the CLIMB icon on the altar.
Then click on the altar and then move Gabe onto the Altar ... .... As soon as Gabe has come close to the altar he will climb on top of the altar .......
Gabe has climbed on top of the altar and the Demon stands before him and stretches out in full glory
Quickly open the Action menu on the HEAD of the monster and then click on the MEDALLION ICON and .......
The monster will cover his eyes with his hands to protect himself against the light of the medallion. and while doing so it leaves his throat unprotected. Quickly open the Action menu on the throat of the monster and then choose the Dagger icon. and ............. Gabriel will now cut the throat of the beast ..... (sorry .... could not take a screenshot here because it went too fast)
Monster dies and with it also his owner Montreaux dies
Gabe has done it again ....... Son saved, mystery solved.
Look at the long end scene that consists of several parts. Finally Gabe and Mosely return to the hotel where Gabe rejects the advances of Madeline because he finally see the light and want to tell Grace this....Unfortunately for Gabriel things do not always go the way he wants it to go.......Grace finally has enough of Gabe.........
THE END
