The Mistery (Part 1) An Online Horror Adventure By The MisteryMaster Walkthrough by Inferno August 2002 Note This is an online point and click adventure game. Its genre appears to be "Horror" and there are bits and pieces from ancient religions and mythology. This is an extremely interesting game with a subject matter that can be gory and explicit at times. Saving Your Game You can die in this adventure. It's important to save your game so if this happens you can go back to a start point of your choosing; rather then that of the MisteryMaster's. Although in some areas of the game you can just click on the "Redisplay" tab at the top of your browser. The "Back" button will bring you back to the beginning of the Gate that you attempting at the time; to optimally save your game, a good suggestion would be to create a "Mistery Saved Games" folder in your browser's "Favorites" or "Bookmarks" section. Then add the areas you wish to "save" to that folder. Keep in mind that there are specific areas that you may save. These are usually at the beginning of each level and sometimes just before a Gate.

You might want to consider having 3 browsers open while you play so that you may be able to "toggle" between them. 1. The game itself 2. "Google Search" 3. "Overture Search". Entering the Answers Use only lowercase letters, no capitals in your answers. Spoilers As for the rest of this walkthrough I'll give you what you need to find and where you can search to find it. But for the actual words to type in and solves for puzzles.. you'll find these on the very last page in the Spoiler Section (Sorry.. I'm a meannie.. yeah, I know.) (I've put the ones for this section at the end of this part of the solution ... Sue) The Beginning Go to the website. http://www.pcpop.nl/ Wait to load. This sometimes takes a while for those of us with phone connections, but don't dishearten! It's definitely worth the wait. Click on the skull. You should hear a voice saying "Excellent" (hey, isn't that reminiscent of the voiceover for the set up mode in Ripper??? Hmmm, so he's in Hell too? ) At the next screen you can click anywhere. The screen changes to: Welcome Followed by The Mistery Screen; which scrolls by and blows up! Wonderful stuff! First Level Crypt of Fear Here you can click on any number of the skulls and listen to all kinds of sound effects As you pass the cursor over the skulls their eye cavities will light up red. But the arrow points to the only one you'll need to open the Crypt's Gate. (Third skull in from the right.). Click on it, then click on the opening to the crypt. Ring of Skulls There are 7 skulls (like the 7 gates ) you'll need to activate here. Think of the ten skulls as initialization points to activate the 7 gates of Hell. That means there are only 7 skulls you need to click on.but which ones?? If you randomly click on them; eyes glow green, red and white. Click on the wrong one and you're back at the beginning of the puzzle as hideously mocking laughter follows you. See screenshot (1) - Ring of Skulls There is a pattern here. The middle skull's eyes, in the center of the circle (the one with the four tiny skulls around it), must glow green, a violet flame must appear at the top of its head and then the four surrounding skulls must be lit with fire. When this is done the large center skull's eye sockets will glow red. Next you must make them glow white. Then you must make them turn blue. (Here's lookin' at you, kid!) The final correct skull activates the gates and you're ready to enter "The Place of Hell; Where Evil Hides". Right before The Crypt of Doom Screen appears you'll get a message: See screenshot (2) - Password Remember this password. Second Level Crypt of Doom Click on the gate to enter. WHOOPS! Who was that??? Remember that password? Well, now would be a good time to use it. If you typed in the right password, the real game begins here. See screenshot (3) - tombs This outlaw was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri . What was his name? The fighter-pilot has shot down 80 British airplanes. (1892 - 1919) What was his real first name? These bank robbers have been killed at the age of 24. (1910 1924) How did they call this couple? Note It seems that throughout the rest of The Mistery, you'll be required to perform many searches. I'll warn you now: the best hint to surviving this game is to give it exactly what it asks for and all words with no capitals in your answers. You can either choose to use "The Overtures Search Engine" provided during game play or (if you're like me...) open a separate browser for your searches. I've also found that "Overture" was fine; but "Google" was much more to the point. Ex:: In Overture: if you type in: "This outlaw was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri "You would receive no matches. You would have to change the wording to: "Who was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri " The answer is the first one on your list. In Google: "This outlaw was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri " This search engine will give you the answers the first time around for most of the questions. The next question .unless you are extremely specific in Overture you will get the wrong answer (it ain't Eric, folks!) So I would advise to use Google as much as you can. Once you have figured out these answers click on the message on each gravestone in turn. A cell will appear above it. Click there to type in your answer (remember MisteryMaster doesn't like uppercase letters) Then click the skull beneath it. Do this for each question. If you were right you'll move on to: Third Level The Number of the Beast Now here's a really jolly fellow! Geez Louise! What a voice ... sort of Vincent Pricey isn't he?? If you go to Google and do an exact search you'll get: http://homepages.ius.edu/RVEST/Beast666.htm See screenshot (4) - Number of the Beast The Electric Gate Now how do I get through this gate .you might well ask. Some of adventurers refer to this screen as the "Electricity Gate". Why??? Click on the posts and you'll see. Go ahead; I'll wait...... Back already??? Lightening bolts, huh? The trick here is to click on the two posts (use the circles that face you) so that each nodule (there are 4 facing each other) send a bolt of lightening to the Gate Lock in the center of the Gate. Try it. (Got it? No? Oh well. Not to worry the answer is on the last page.) Gate Lock The Next screen gives you a close up of the Gate Lock. Pretty interesting, huh? This is where those web searches will come in handy .just what do you know about The Number of The Beast??? Let's do some searches: http://homepages.ius.edu/RVEST/Beast666.htm http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm http://www.cforc.com/kjv/Revelation/13.html : this is the one you want. ..can you find the verse? ... out of the earth and he had two horns and spoke like a dragon No, not exactly, but something very, very close isn't it? What's the Chapter and Verse? Well, we know it's Revelations Chapter 13 ... and the Verse is ... is... (The Answer ... well, you know where to find it.) See screenshot (5) - Gate Lock Click the bottom stone (#11) Et voila! The gate lock blows up sending you into: Fourth Level The SoulKeeper's Cave Here we come across a graveyard with many tombstones and gravesites. There's a particular obvious one here ... with a strange glow issuing forth. Dare we examine it?? Oh, why not! Go ahead, click on all the head stones. If you read carefully you'll understand that this place is very special. Lots of clues and hints here. The answer to this puzzle is given to you. Name the soulkeeper on the plate Enter the crypt and bring your faith Here is what the Soulkeeper wants you to do. The sixt sence Of what you seek Not in Latin Or in Greek The answer can be found in something to do with sixes. 666 maybe??? Or does it refer to a particular language? Or maybe how many letters in the name you're searching for??? Here lies knowledge Buried deep inside Michael Schiefler's Bible Light Hmm. Michael Scheifler's Bible Light & 666? What was that search?? http://www.biblelight.net/666.htm six six six has lots of tricks 666 ... Hmmmm Could it be referring to that article??? The answer is here See screenshot (6) - The Roman Man ..and here! ... Didn't work? Maybe you should try typing in the translated name you found from your search at Bible Light. OR You could check the last page Spell my name before I wake Otherwise your soul's to take Use the stones to rest my bones When you think you know the name. Click on the gargoyle on your right and enter the name then click again. Ok. After all this research (Don't worry, I know you read everything and you now have the answer.) So click on the center tombstone. Click on the gargoyle to your right. Type in your answer, then click on the skull to your right. OR Check the last page and type in your answer and click on the skull on your right The SoulKeeper's Grave In the graphic screen you view a very dark picture indeed. Not only in terms of horror but literally. This is one dark picture. Welcome to the "MisteryMaster's Pixel Hunt" There are lots of places to click here. You'll be able to find 9 objects. 6 of those have pretty good hints about what happens in the next level. Out of those 6 you'll only need 2 to continue the game. Happy Hunting! See screenshot (7) - Pixel Hunt The numbers on the graphic above are approximately where the nine items are hidden. The first two in the upper left hand corner are two scrolls, one on the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Seven Arits (1) the other on The Legend of Charon. (2) Be sure to read them both. The one below them is where the Sowilo Rune (3) is hidden, make a note of it (you'll need it later.) The numbers 4 and 5 to the Rune's immediate right hides "The Useless Sword" (4) and "The Talisman" (5) which releases a demon. Underneath these you'll find "The Ancient Artifact" (6). This holds an important clue for the next Gate. See screenshot (8) - Scroll Click on it to open the scroll to find the clue. If you click on the dead child's mouth, you'll find "The Coin of Charon" (7). In the nose of the skull on the right you'll discover "The Smell of Death" (8) and awaken The Gatekeeper. The last one in the center bottom holds "The Key" (9). This unlocks the grave and allows you to enter. You need this key and the coin to continue. You'll need the information and clues from the others to help you later on in the adventure so note them well. Note You may only click on an item once. If you need to see it again you'll have to hit the redisplay button at the top of your browser and begin again... Once you've found the key, click on it. Then click on the gargoyle in the center of the key... You're in! All you have to do now is click on the doorway. It's on the upper right of your screen. It's open now.you can go in .leave your fears behind you as you pass through.
