The Mistery - part 2 An Online Horror Adventure By The MisteryMaster Walkthrough by Inferno August 2002 Continued from last issue Fifth Level Gateway to Hell To pass the 7 gates, It's good to know The seven names THE BOOK OF THE DEAD will show Remember the names THE DORRKEEPER'S fits Gates will be called ARITS So, you know what that means ... a search: Type: "arits" into Google and you'll get: http://www.lysator.liu.se/(1)/~drokk/BoD/arit.html The first choice Type: "arits" into Overture and you'll get: http://www.lysator.liu.se/~drokk/BoD/arits.html as well, but it's the third choice. First Gate Ishtar's Anagram Puzzle This puzzle is rather complicated, so if you get frazzled you know where to find the answer. However if bravery is taking hold, do the web search above and find out who the "DoorKeeper" is for the First Arit.the First Gate. To pass the 7 gates, It's good to know The seven names THE BOOK OF THE DEAD will show Remember the names THE DORRKEEPER'S fits Gates will be called ARITS What are the four names of the Demon of Chaos? APOPIS APEP APEPI REREK What is the Doorkeepers name? Sekhet-her-asht-aru The riddle is asking you to find the 4th name of the Demon of Chaos. That would be "REREK". It tells you then to subtract these letters R-E-R-E-K from the Doorkeepers name: SEKHET - HER - ASHT - ARU. When this is done you we have the following: SEKHET-HER-ASHT_ARU or SHTHEASHTAU. In the riddle, it asks you to "replace the rest, as it suits best". Hmmmn; an "anagram" maybe? Yup! Now how are you supposed to figure this out? Well, look at the screen. Why are the last three words written in red? This must be a clue. THAT SHE HAS _____ = SHTHEASHTAU. Do you see it now? No? See screenshot (9) - That she has ... That means "U" must be the answer. (Just remember the golden rule here, NO UPPER CASE LETTERS.) Note It is at this point here that you are welcomed into the 6th Level. You may either choose to click on the book and sign the guest register (use your browser's back button to return to the game) or just click the "next" button and carry on. Sixth Level Second Gate The Monster Name Generator MisteryMaster wants to give you a "nickname" while you play. Take it. The action itself is an important clue. Go ahead, don't be afraid. Type in a first name and a last. Hey, where are we? Is that another lightening bolt I see..yup! Click on it. OOOOOOHHHH!!! A dark figure. Let's click on that too. The DEMON OF CHAOS and THE DOORKEEPER'S name Used some letters which are the same Throw them away, replace the rest Just in place, as it suits best The answer you seek depends on you Ishtar don't know what to do She only knows, that she has .. You have the answer from one of your searches. The one about "The Book of the Dead", Here's another one which gives them all to you in one shot: http://www3.sympatico.ca/untangle/ebd7arit.html Find it??? Good. If not, you know where to look. The Bottles of Hell Judgment Next comes "The Bottles of Hell Judgment" Choose wisely, for the end result of this puzzle leads into another that has been known to drive many a gamer screaming wildly into the night!! Click on the statue of "Osiris". You'll be given 3 bottles to choose from. Choose the second bottle. Click on the skull at the pinnacle of the roof top. Gee, you turned those flames blue. Who's this "Unhat" guy anyway? Maybe we should check "The Book of the Dead" again. As you can see from your search "Unhat "is the name of the "doorkeeper", but what of the "watcher" of the second Arit or Gate? Useful information, sure. Click on that little skull again (on the mausoleum) and enter. MisteryMaster will now demand "the nickname" for the wife of Osiris. Where did you get a nickname before? That's right! MisteryMaster's own "Monster Nickname Maker" Use it! But what name should we use? " Isis "? "Ishtar"? "Horus' Mummy"? No, too obvious.Didn't we just see a clue before? Now that you know her nickname, enter it into the scales. (Still don't know it??? Check the end page for the answer.) Seventh Level Third Gate The Netherworld After you get through the "Scales of Judgment", you'll be presented with yet another Gate. Read carefully and you'll get the clue right away. Only those who have found the rune of victory Can try to solve The Mistery You'll need success to be your guide Strength must be on your side Only the strong have seen it before Only those who have looked some more Now let's take a look at this. where did we see a Rune??? A Rune of Victory? Those of you who looked some more did. I remember ... do you? Check back to The Fourth Level and the SoulKeeper's Grave. The Sowilo Rune.what did that look like? Click on The Gargoyle; Now you have 5 runes to choose from. Choose wisely. Next, MisteryMaster gives you an overt clue: Sowilo known as the sixteenth rune Will bring you luck ... as you seek the powers of Marduk The clue is asking you to do a search looking for the "Powers of Marduk". Maybe the sixteenth power? Maybe the sixteenth name??? Now, the answer of course is at the end in the "Spoilers Section"; but for those intrepid few who dare ... try this search: http://www.mds.mdh.se/~kem93mkn/fiftynam.htm Click on the talisman (which is also the sixteenth Talisman of Marduk). You'll find a green tombstone, click on it and enter the 16th name of Marduk and open the golden gates of hell. Eighth Level Fourth Gate Ishtar's Gate Here are two searches about Ishtar and her descent into Hell Through the Seven Gates: http://www.gatewaystobabylon.com/myths/texts/classic/ishtarde sc.htm http://www.piney.com/Ishtar.html After arriving at the "Golden Gates of Hell", we come upon yet another burial place. There are many stones to click on here. Some of the names you may find strangely familiar; still other just strange. Click every where you can. You are looking for clues and a way out of here! The three "X's" approximately represent where you need to click. The one on the face of the crypt will give you a headstone with many names on it. At the top it reads "psalm 55:10" Psalm 55:10 For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills are mine. The "X" on your left side of the crypt will yield yet another clue. It reads Ezekiel 8. See screenshot (10) - crypt 1 Both of these are quotes from the Bible. This search will help: http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/EZE/EZ E8.HTM Ezekiel 8 And he brought me to the entrance of the court; I looked, and there was a hole in the wall. Then he said to me, "Mortal, dig through the wall"; and when I dug through the wall, there was an entrance. He said to me, "Go in, and see the vile abominations that they are committing here." Save this information ... you'll need it in a few.. Once you have that information click where the "X" on the right side just underneath that little gargoyle' wing: This is where you need to click to bring up the Sanctuary of Ishtar. When the Sanctuary appears click on it. You now see the door to the crypt. Just above the door to the left and right there are 2 square slabs click on either one in turn. The one on the left first shows The Talisman of Ishtar, but if you click on it again it speaks of the name and number of INANNA (another name for Isis or Ishtar) this is a very important clue! The one on the right, holds a foreboded warning (click on it again for the English version). Now click on the one in the center to take you back to the graveyard. (Isn't that lil' demon a cutie??) Now click on the very front of the crypt ("X" marks the spot!) See screenshot (11) - crypt 2 The front tombstone will come forward and ask you for the sacred number of Ishtar. Don't know it??? Well looks like it's time for another search: http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/gods/explore/ishtar.html Enter the sacred number and click on the gargoyle. Now you must dig. Where? Through the wall of the Tomb, silly! See screenshot (12) - crypt 3 (Actually all you have to do is click on it approximately where the little "X" is in the graphic.) This will bring you to Ishtar's Sanctuary; to enter it, you must knock three times. Do exactly as it says; knock three times (in your case, remember you're playing a point and click adventure here. So...that means you'll be clicking.) Just one more puzzle and it's off to the next Level. What was left behind? Click on the middle plaque: What do you want to find? What has been left behind? Byblos, a name with many meanings to know Ask Osiris what to show The word you seek must be found in Greek You can click on the other two, but it's the middle one that gives the answer. (In this game .as you probably have guessed by now "what MisteryMaster asks for is the answer!!". So, then "Byblos" is the answer. Did you type it in? No good? No capitals? Still no good? Hmmmn. Did you read that little part about that it has to be in Greek? Time for yet another search: http://www.middleeastuk.com/destinations/lebanon/byblos.htm (I did this one in Google, entering "byblos &Greek") it was second on the list. Did you find it? About the 3rd paragraph down. Of course you could just look at the last page for the answer too. Enter the answer and click on the gargoyle. You'll see a bouncing arrow atop the coffin. Looks like a clue to the next level and gate. Go ahead and click on it. Ninth Level Fifth Gate Cerberus "Cerberus" I know him. Wasn't he in The Harry Potter Movie? Yeah ... he played "Fluffy". Well, he also was used to guard the entrance to Hades. And for now, he's your password into Level Eight. Let's click on the papyrus and go on to the next level. Here, yet another desiccated resident of the underworld demands a password. Type in the word "cerberus" and click away to the Fifth Gate. Uh, oh! there's a book there ... that could mean only one thing, more searches and more reading. Actually this is quite an educational game, isn't it?? So, what do you know about the mighty Hercules and his 12 Labors??? Or more importantly, his friends, because that's the answer MisteryMaster is looking for here! Click on the cave and type one name in the left box and the other name in the right box. And give that poor doggie a bone! (... still having trouble? You know where the answers are by now.) However for those of you, who insist on doing it yourself, I provided yet another search to get you started: http://www.clubi.ie/lestat/ofgodsh.html Click on the door in front of you and follow me along for a little "modern age torture" Tenth Level Persephone's Torture Chamber This one is the unsuspectingly easy one. Just click your heart out and kill the pop up ads; (ok, ok! There is a detailed spoiler for this one in "The Spoiler Section".) Now this really was torture for me. I hate popup ads! Just remember to click over the same spots again at the bottom. The door will eventually open and you'll be presented with: Solomon's Gate A "boiler room of sorts". See how the spigots turn on and off? There's a pattern here. Can you find it? There's a valve in the middle (we'll call that one M) and a valve on the far right (that will be R) There's a lever on the far left (that one will be L) and a little one in the middle that freely turns. Try the following: M-R-L-R-M, then turn the little free wheeling one. Be careful that you don't accidentally hit the free wheeling one as you're turning the valves on and off... When this is done correctly you'll get: A pool of blood, which will promptly turn into a pile of gray salt. (hey, you use your imagination .and I'll use mine!) Click on the pile of gray salt (WOW!) It turned into a gray rock! Click in the gray rock. Now there's a pentagram! Click on the pentagram. Yuk! Now there's a dead guy! Click on the dead guy. What is that on his chest? (actually, it's the answer to the puzzles in the next level ...but because it's too faint to make out, we'll have to solve those the long way!) Click on the faint black Pentacle of Solomon's Key on the dead guy's chest. (If I remember my high school Latin correctly the words on this screen tell you to put something in the dead guy's right hand ... but I'm just guessing here.) Click on the Pentacle of Solomon's Key. Yikes! It's the Scary Red Icon! Click on the Scary Red Icon. It will go to the left of the screen. Grab it and put it in the dead guy's right hand. (another pixel hunt! It should be just a hair above his fingers.) And..after some wailing and gnashing of teeth, we're in! Eleventh Level Sixth Gate The keys of Solomon You find yourself in front of a desolate Mausoleum. One in which, has three doors. Go through the middle door. To get through this gate you must solve the riddle that MisteryMaster has imposed upon you. (Although, he did give you the answers.they are within that pentacle on the dead guy's chest. If only you could interpret that pentacle, you could solve the game straight away!) However, if you're like most of us in the modern world, your "Pentacle Interpolation Skills" are probably like mine ..NON EXISTENT!!! Anyway.you come across an ancient gaming board: "Time to play, Time to Die" .Time to do another search. http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/kos/kosfig.htm You need to find the correct pentacle from the Keys of Solomon and unlock the Sixth Gate. Remember the pentacle that was on the dead guy?? You have to find the right one. Press the various patterns on the board and you find a planet below it. Click on the planet to get the various pentacles. They're all different. The key here is to read what they are. You're looking for one that will "unlock" or "open" the gate. When you find a likely one, click on it and it will disappear and return you outside the mausoleum. Enter the door on your left. Don't forget to open the grate first then click again to enter. Click on the pentagram, it will change to a six pointed star. Click on it again to reveal the code. Click one more time to return to the outside of the mausoleum and enter the door on the far right. Now to test it and see if you're right. Click on the specter sitting in the chair and a place will appear where you can enter your code. Enter it. If it's the right one it will cause the last doorkeeper to disappear. Click on the doorway to enter: If not, you'll have to repeat the process again (Or, you could check The Spoiler Section for the answer). Twelfth Level Seventh Gate Notice what is surrounding the door. Planets: well, the names of 6 of them Mercury, Mars, Moon on the left and Saturn, Venus, Jupiter on the right. What are those pots along the sides of the stairs? Click on them. Anything interesting happen? No? Try the one on the right, in the middle. Hmmmn "multicolored and sound effects". What are the others? Red, Green, Blue are on the left from bottom to top and Grey, Multicolored, Black are on the right from bottom to top as well. Where did you see an explanation of the planets and their "colors" before? Oh yes, it was here: http://www.sacred- texts.com/pag/kos/kosfig.htm So the idea here is to match up the planets with their colors in the order of the planet names located around the door from left to right in sequence. Choose the wrong pot (there will be no sound) and you'll have to start over. When you click on the right color a sound will signal your success. (And, as always, the answer is ...well you know the rest!) Thus ends the Twelfth Level and The Seven Gates of Hell. I found it to be an intriguing and fascinating game. I hope this is not the last we'll hear from MisteryMaster. I look forward to his next adventure. http://www.pcpop.nl/credits.html Spoilers for this part of The Mistery Fifth Level The First Gate The MisteryMaster's Pixel Hunt The Book of The Dead The Legend of Charon The Rune : Sowilo The Useless Sword The Cursed Talisman ( it releases a demon) The Smell of Death (awakens the GateKeeper) The Coin of Charon The Ancient Artifact (click on the scarab to get the legend of the Demon of Chaos The Key (click to enlarge, click on the gargoyle in the center) Ishtar's Anagram All she has left is: U Who was the greatest god of the Egyptians?
