GK3 Walkthrough - Day 2, 5pm-10pm
You begin the timeblock as Grace in Gabriel's Room. He's just gone down for a meal, so reach him in the
Hotel Dining Room
(05, 488/965). When you enter, you'll overhear the conversation between Gabriel and Mosely. Poor Grace! Don't let her heart fall into pieces: make her work. She told she wanted to take a look at the museum and at the church, so go
Outside the Museum
The museum is closed. And Grace wanted so much to go there... Anyway notice that there's something on the museum door. Pick it up: it's a copy of Le Serpent Rouge (02, 490/965)! Who has left it there? Get a fingerprint from it (02, 492/965): you'll compare it later with the ones you have in SIDney. Now go into the
Church of St. Mary Magdalene
First of all take a look at the painting with the angels next to the main entrance of the church. Do you notice anything? Trace on the painting (click on it, then use the "trace" icon as long as you need it; if you did something wrong you may restart the tracing using the "erase" icon): the gestures of the angels make a tilted square! (02, 494/965). Notice the pamphlets that are on the pew closest to the altar: they are about the church and they are in your language. Get one of them (02, 496/965), then knock on the door next to the altar and enter in
Abbe Arnaud's Office
The Abbe is there: talk to him about "Magdalene" and "sunrise line" (04, 500/965). Congratulations, you have made exactly 500 points! Go back to the hotel. Don't go in your room immediately, but take a look first at the
Hotel Hall
Lady Howard has left some dishes outside her door. Pick up a glass as Gabriel did yesterday (02, 502/965): it might be useful. Then enter Gabriel's Room: it's time to start working on the map... with
SIDney
First of all scan in all the new items to add them to your database (01+01+01+01, 506/965), then link Montreaux's print and Mosely's licence plate to their suspect files (01+01, 508/965). Translate from Latin to your language the word "SUM" (02, 510/965), then open the "Analysis" screen. It's time to begin the analysis of Parchment 1: select it, then click on the "Start analysis" button and follow SIDney's instructions (all the devices you need are in the menu on the top of the screen) (02+02, 514/965). I guess you didn't understand anything, but don't worry because the containing of these documents will be clearer and more helpful later. Analyse also Parchment 2 (02+02+04, 522/965) and the symbols from Château de Serres (02, 524/965). Now begin the analysis of the map. You have to solve the riddles from Le Serpent Rouge in order to find the geometrical relations between the places in the area around Rennes-le-Château by using SIDney's map analysis devices to add points, shapes, grids and so on. Read the LSR Aquarius riddle (you can do it in your inventory). To get more information, try to search in
SIDney the words in capital letters, then think about the riddle you are solving. You can also find some information in the church pamphlet, so don't forget taking a look at it, too. Now, have you understood what is talking about the Aquarius riddle? It's talking about the Sunrise line between Château de Blanchefort and Rennes-le-Château church. Use the "Enter Points" device from the "Map" menu to place two points there (do it in the left window where the map is magnified) and click on the "start analysis" button. Note: when looking for the church, be sure to put the point on the red cross. Well done, you've just solved the first part of Le Serpent Rouge (05, 529/965)! Next riddle is Pisces. Use the same procedure as before to make yourself an idea about what's its meaning: it's talking about the four churches of St. Mary Magdalene in the area, so place four points on the Rennes-le-Château, Coustaussa, Saint Just et le Bezu and Bugarach churches. Then, using the "use shape" device from the "graphics" menu select the circle, move it on until its centre is in the middle of the map and enlarge it until it passes over all the four points. Thus you have crowned the Queen - and solved Pisces (05, 534/965).
Now let's have a break: lets' go downstairs in the
Hotel Lobby
(02, 536/965). As soon as you enter, you'll overhear Gabriel, Mosely and Madeline that are going out and the beginning of a friendship between Emilio and Buchelli. Go back in Gabriel's Room and continue the work with
SIDney
Now you have to deal with Aries riddle. Read it, and don't forget to search the words "Quaternity" and "Pythagoras" (01+01, 538/965). Then search also "St.
Michael" (01, 539/965). Aries is talking clearly about a square: place it in the way that Pythagoras would appreciate - touching the circle with each side (05, 544/965). Taurus riddle will help you to place the square. It's talking about vines, so place two points: one on Château de Serres and the other on the crossing of the sunrise line and the Paris Meridian. Start the analysis to draw a line (02, 546/965), then rotate the square until the new line you drew becomes a part of it. This is the solution of Taurus (05, 551/965).
Let's have another break: go again downstairs in the
Hotel Lobby
(02, 553/965) You'll overhear Lady Howard, Estelle, Buchelli and Emilio that are going to play bridge in the Hotel Dining Room. It seems that Emilio is becoming less shy than he was! Return to your work with
SIDney
Now you have to solve two riddles together: Gemini and Cancer. They're clearly talking about a chessboard, but make yourself sure of it: search "Chessboard" (01, 554/965), then search also "Asmodeus" (01, 555/965). Return to the analysis: use the "Draw Grid" device from the "Graphics" menu, select the "Fill Shape" option and insert a 8x8 (=64) grid in the tilted square. Well, thus you have solved Gemini and Cancer (05, 560/965). Grace will work a little bit more on the computer, then she'll have dinner with... Wilkes (!). After her spicy evening adventure, the timeblock ends.
