SECTION TWO: VENICE 
(You now have your famous whip!) 
 
(Take note of that MANHOLE COVER - it is your way out of the 
Catacombs ....... you'll also need an empty wine bottle) - (when 
the automatic sequence ends, you will be alone in the foyer of 
the Library - apart from that deaf librarian!) - Go back outside 
and make your way to the patio where you arrived in Venice - 
Walk over to the far left table where the two lovers are talking 
over a bottle of wine - LOOK WINE BOTTLE - PICK UP WINE BOTTLE - 
(Sometimes they may NOT have finished with it - in that case 
walk around the other tables and keep trying to pick it up until 
they let you - Having obtained the empty wine bottle return to 
the Library foyer.

 
(You now have to search all the stacks of books and obtain the 
following THREE books: "MEIN KAMPF", "FLIGHT MANUAL" and "BOOK 
OF MAPS" ........ be patient, this takes time!!) - LOOK at every 
stack and when you locate the correct section for the particular 
title you are seeking, select WHAT IS and find 'BOOK' as opposed 
to 'BOOKS'. When you have obtained all three, LOOK at them for 
further hints and clues - Now locate the METAL POST (with the 
RED CORDON) and PICK UP both of them ....... you only need to 
PICK UP METAL POST and the cordon comes with it!
 
Now walk to the Stained Glass window (not the foyer) and walk up 
to it - LOOK WINDOW - LOOK GRAIL DIARY - (Note the design of the 
window on the page, particularly the positions of the ANGELS, 
the pattern of the SHIELD and the design resting ATOP THE 
SHIELD. Walk around the stained glass windows until you find the 
one that MATCHES EXACTLY that in your diary.
 
LOOK GRAIL DIARY again and note the message below the 
picture:"If ye would enter ........... ". This tells you which 
column to go to (LEFT or RIGHT) and which number to take note of 
(FIRST,SECOND or THIRD) - Walk up to the correct column - LOOK 
INSCRIPTION - (You will see a set of Roman numerals ...... note 
the one you require, 1st, 2nd or 3rd) - Walk to the MATCHING 
SLAB - USE METAL POST WITH SLAB (Number?) - Ignore the Guard who 
tries to stop you, and you are now in the Catacombs!!
 
NOTE 
It is wise to save your game at this stage and these are the 
items that you should currently have with you:
1.EMPTY WINE BOTTLE    2.BOOK OF MAPS    3.FLIGHT MANUAL 
4.GRAIL DIARY    5.MEIN KAMPF    6.RED CORDON     7.OLD BOOK 
8.WHIP     9.SMALL KEY     10.PAINTING 
 
Looking at the Book Of Maps provides a rough guide as to the 
layout of the Catacombs ....... but it is ONLY a guide!!
 
SECTION THREE: THE CATACOMBS IN VENICE 
 
From the first chamber (with the steps, where you entered), 
proceed through the archway facing away from you in the centre 
of the screen. Refer to Level 1 of the Catacombs maps and make 
your way to the two skeletons chained to the wall. Position the 
cursor over the hook on the arm of the right-hand skeleton and 
PICK UP THE HOOK.
 
Refer to the Level 1 map and make your way to the cavern with 
the torch on the wall. The torch cannot be taken or lit but it 
is a lever to operate a trapdoor mechanism. However, it is 
rather encrusted with hard mud and this must first be loosened 
with water. Exit right through the broken wooden door.
 
Now proceed to the cavern with skulls and bones. You will notice 
a stone slab in the floor. This slab cannot be lifted from this 
side and is, in fact, the only EXIT from Level 1A, as we shall 
soon see! Exit through the right tunnel.
 
Follow the maps to the pool of water. You need to get beyond 
this water to gain access to the lower levels (2 & 3) of the 
Catacombs. Notice the plug at the bottom of the water-filled 
cavern - this must be removed from BELOW to drain the water 
away. Let's get some water first for that torch! USE WINE BOTTLE 
WITH POOL OF WATER.
 
Now return to where the torch is. (See map). Walk up to the 
torch and USE WINE BOTTLE ON TORCH to loosen the mud. PULL TORCH 
and down you go!! You are now on Level 1A and you lose the wine 
bottle.
 
Make your way to the stone bridge. Cross the bridge to the other 
side and you are now inside a small cavern. Walk up to the first 
inscription and READ INSCRIPTION. They refer to a description of 
the correct Grail. Walk back over the bridge and stop directly 
under the plug. USE HOOK WITH WOODEN PLUG. Now go left of the 
plug and USE WHIP WITH PLUG/HOOK. The water will now be drained 
from that pool, collapsing the stone bridge in the process!!
Exit left, walk to the tunnel with the ladder and go up through 
the stone slab, back to Level 1.
 
Exit right and make your way to where the pool was. There we are 
- all drained! Exit far right and follow the maps to the wooden 
machinery. Walk up to the machine and USE RED CORDON ON MACHINE 
to replace the drive belt. Now, walk over to the wheel on the 
right and TURN ON WHEEL. This will lower a drawbridge for you on 
Level 2. (Turning the wheel again will RAISE the drawbridge 
again!). Exit right.
 
Follow the maps to the wooden figures panel. Walk in front of 
the statues and LOOK GRAIL DIARY. Note the correct sequence from 
the LEFT page. Start with the RIGHT statue and PUSH STATUE until 
it matches the right figure in the diary. Now go to the LEFT 
statue and PUSH STATUE until it matches the left figure in the 
diary. Finally, PUSH the centre STATUE and, if you've got it 
right, the door will now open. Go through the door and down the 
steps to Level 2.
 
Follow the maps and proceed to the drawbridge cavern. Cross the 
drawbridge (which you lowered earlier) and exit the other side. 
Follow the maps to the cavern with shelves and exit left. Follow 
the maps again until you reach the musical skulls cavern and 
wooden door, which leads down to Level 3. Walk up to the skulls 
and LOOK GRAIL DIARY. You will now see a musical notation set on 
one of the pages. Read the notes in the diary from LEFT to 
RIGHT. The TOP LINE of the staff corresponds with the LEFT 
skull; The SECOND LINE corresponds with the SECOND FROM THE LEFT 
skull, and so on. A note BELOW the staff, corresponds with the 
RIGHTMOST (SIXTH) skull. Note the order of pushing the skulls. 
It is a good idea to select PUSH from the text then position the 
cursor over the required skull and clicking, to ensure that you 
push the correct one. After pushing the skulls in the correct 
sequence, the door on the right will now open, affording access 
to Level 3.
 
Go through the door on the right and follow the Level 3 map to 
the Crypt. Walk up to the casket and OPEN CASKET. LOOK CASKET 
.......... Ta! Da!! .... You will now see the body of a Knight!! 
The shield is the second marker that Donovan spoke of ....... it 
mentions the ancient city of Alexandretta ...... today, the city 
of Iskenderun is built on its ruins ....... we'll find the Grail 
near there.
 
Go RIGHT and you come to an iron grating. Position the cursor 
over the lock mechanism and OPEN OLD RUSTY LOCK. Exit right 
through the pipe. You are now back under the Piazza. Go up to 
the ladder and OPEN MANHOLE COVER then go up.
 
Elsa will now rejoin you ..... as will a wet Marcus! He tells 
you that your Father is being held captive in the Brunwald 
Castle on the Austrian-German border and you tell him that the 
Grail is in Iskenderun. You arrange to meet in Iskenderun after 
you've rescued your Father. You now travel automatically to 
Castle Brunwald.......
