LEVEL 4

THE DEMOLISHED TREASURE ROOM ANTECHAMBER

You might want to save your game here as you are about to embark
on another timed sequence:

The Scorpion Puzzle:

1. Swing around and pick up both buckets over near the half cask
of water.

2. Look down to see a busy scorpion.

3. Quickly take a bucket from your inventory and cover the
scorpion.

4. Move to the door.

5. Turn around and click behind the Chess puzzle (what's left of
it).

6. Look down when you arrive there and put the second bucket on
the new scorpion.

7. Pick up the WOODEN PLANK.

8. Look down and pick up Parkey's BAG with the fifth Anubis statue
safely tucked inside.

Go back through the door to the destroyed rotating room.  You
probably observed Parkey's dismembered body on the floor near the
door, but don't take the time away from solving the puzzle and
getting out of there. Note: If you have trouble solving the
scorpion puzzle, try reversing the order of the buckets you use.
Use the big one on the first scorpion and the little one on the
second, or vice versa.

Look out as you enter the rotating room here. You just might take
a nasty fall.  Turn right and look down. Use the wooden plank to
create a thin bridge to the corner statue.  Go to the statue and
pick up the MIDDLE GEAR WHEEL at the statue's feet.  Turn left and
take the CHAIN.  Go back to your starting position in front of the
door you came in through, and walk out to the center of the axle
of the wheel mechanism that turned the rotating room.  Remember
that interesting ring in the ceiling?  Use the chain on it now.
Pan down and left to see a niche in the wall beside the exit door.
Click on it to see a cutscene where Sherlock swings his merry way
through the niche and into the now destroyed wine cellar.
Sterling move, Sherlock!

THE DESTROYED WINE CELLAR

Go forward once. Turn around and look for the grasping hand on one
of the wine casks.  Click on it. GUN POWDER, rather than the
anticipated wine, flows from the cask. Uh oh!  More explosions
just might be possible, so be careful.  Use Parkey's bag (and find
a note) to pick up some of the gun powder.  It may come in handy
later.  Turn around and go left forward to the huge mound of
broken wine bottles.  Pick up a BROKEN BOTTLE.  Sherlock may need
to clobber someone, or something similar with it.  Turn right.  Go
forward and take the unlit LANTERN from the table.  Turn right and
see that you now get a pointing finger at the stoned up doorway.
Look down right and pick up a PAINT BRUSH from the cask on the
right.  Place the brush in inventory.  Click on the doorway.  Use
the paint brush on the top center stone to reveal the number "3."
Now you must click on every third stone to open the door.  Ah, but
where to start counting? There is the rub...believe me!  This is
one of the two hardest puzzles in the game. But, there's always a
solution coming right up, if you wish to read on:

The Stone Door Puzzle Solution:

1. Press the first stone on the bottom on the right side.

2. Starting with the next stone up, count 1, 2, 3 and click on the
third stone.

3. Traveling up; count 1, 2, 3 and click on the stone just under
the right corner stone.

4. Count 1, 2, across the top from right to left, press the third
stone just right of the "3" stone.

5. Count 1 on the "3" stone, 2, 3 and press the stone to the right
of the left corner stone.

6. Count 1 on the cornerstone, then 2, 3 going down the left side
and press the third stone down from the corner.

7. Count 1, 2, 3 continuing down the left side, and press the
second stone from the bottom.  Hallelujah!!!!  It seems you now
"can go through the door."

THE DEVASTATED RECEPTION HALL

Wow! Was that an explosion or what? The sad results of the blast
seem to be evident everywhere!  Its even still smokin' here in the
reception hall.  You can take your time if you enjoy picking
through debris, but I'd suggest making a bee-line for the area
beside the (left side) staircase, straight ahead.  You'll find a
note in the lounge area there that encourages you to go upstairs.
That is, if you aren't afraid of the lurking mummy.  On the coffee
table, you'll discover someone ( the mummy of Montcalfe?) was
writing a note and its been partially burned.

To the left of the lounge area in the corner, there's a mirrored
cabinet.  If you click on the mirror, Sherlock will remark that
there's something behind it.  Also, you need "something thin."
Store that in your memory banks for a moment and move on to the
other side of the hall.  use your lantern on the remaining lighted
candle on the chandelier and place the LIGHTED LANTERN in your
inventory.

Look down just in front of the stairs to see more sand and some
gray hair.  More mummy discards, no doubt.  Go up the stairs to
the first landing.  Look on the next up riser and find a HAIR PIN.
Sherlock will comment something to the effect that " this woman's
trinket" wasn't there the first time he went up the stairs.
Elisabeth's trinket perhaps?  Something more to mull over
concerning the probability of an unseen populous roaming about the
mansion. Why would Elisabeth be in the mansion without announcing
herself?

Ahem, oh well.........time to press on, Sherlock.

Turn around and go back down to the mirrored cabinet in the
corner.  Use the hair pin.  you'll find an "absolutely dreadful
document" ..... DIRTY PAPER.  Go back over to the chandelier and
hold the dirty paper up in front of the burning candle to see a
map or chart. After you've examined it, it will be held in your
letters folder, so no need to copy it.

Return to the stairs, then on to the first landing.  Look at the
painting on the wall directly ahead of you.  Click on the broken
lamp bracket to the right of the painting.  The painting will move
aside revealing three levers:

The Levers Puzzle Solution:

Each lever has three positions: down, middle, and up.  There's a
dark red light above each lever's slot.  When you solve this
puzzle, the lights will be dimly green. (Hard to see, so watch for
the change.) Don't back out of the close up while you are working
on the puzzle as it will reset.

1st pass = all three levers to the down position

2nd pass = middle lever up two, to the top position

3rd pass = first and third lever up one to the middle position

Exit the closeup and go up the stairs to the second floor.  Turn
left and continue around to the only set of doors on that side on
the mezzanine.  Click to enter the hallway behind a brick wall.
You are back behind the library, Montcalfe's private quarters,
under entirely different circumstances.

THE HOLOCAUST HALLWAY

Some of the rooms are now a blazing inferno.  So use caution here,
Sherlock!  You could be toast!  Turn around to the right of the
door where the fire is burning.  Click on the painting that's been
knocked to the floor by the earlier explosion.  Read the encrypted
message:

XLDU OLIC UFFU WIYT INO

There are two rows of ankh symbols underneath, with a set of three
and two sets of four in the first row.  There is one set of two
and two sets of three in the second row.  Once you've viewed the
message, consider that the placement and grouping of the letters
may be more significant than the letters themselves.

The "HOOKS" you hear Sherlock mention, will go into your
inventory.  Okay, let's go on.  Turn back to the left going down
along the hallway and immediately click on the painting leaning
against the wall on the left; a dark landscape.  Click for a
message "EGYPT WILL HELP YOU."

Proceed down the hall and look down right to click on the fallen
wall panel to learn all this damage may not have been caused by
the explosion that killed Jonathan Parkey.  Another puzzlement.

Find a glass on the carpet that has been smashed by something
"very narrow.....like a woman's shoe."  Further indication that
perhaps Elisabeth is meandering about the mansion in all this
devastation.  Sherlock is one impressive detective isn't he?  How
could he possibly know what smashed that glass?  ESP?

Go one more step to the end of the hall and turn around to click
on the fallen painting of a mounted horseman.  Click again to view
a more complex encrypted message:

UTLNLH NHITAI DEGHCN ERIEEE REOPSS

Under it, three rows of ankh symbols:

5 in the first row

3 and 8 in the second row

3, 5 and 6 in the third row (numbers of letters per word, per
line?)

What do all these hidden messages mean?  In any case, once you've
viewed this one it will also pop into your letter folder with the
others.

Save your game here!

Swing to your left and enter the smoky parlor. You might have to
go out and take a deep breath here a few times. In fact, I'd
highly recommend it.

Go to the right side curtains by the single door to the bedroom.
Use your broken bottle to cut a piece of curtain to mask your
breathing somewhat against the smoke. Now who'd have thought
that's what you'd be using that broken bottle for!  Leave the room
and get some air.  Go back in and go to the shield on the wall
above the sofa.  Click to swing it open it and reveal a word
puzzle.  Use the messages from the hallway to solve it on your own
if you like.

The Shield Word Puzzle Solution:

First Line:  YOU WILL FIND

Second Line:  IF YOU CUT

Third Line: (skip this line)

Fourth Line: UNDER

Fifth Line: THE RELIGION

Sixth Line: THE PLACE SHINES

Click out of the closeup and click back on the now open window in
the wall.  See that "X" next to the tilted family tree picture
behind you?  Pick up a SPEAR HEAD on the floor near the lion's
head on your way over to X marks the spot.  Use the spear head
there.  From the alcove, pick up THREE WEIGHTS, a SMALL KEY and a
LETTER from Montcalfe to Elisabeth stating his sorrow at having
failed to save the world from the curse of the mummy he's loosed
upon humanity. Sounds like the laudanum is talking here.

Now that you are back out in the hallway (I hope you are) catching
your breath, proceed down the hall to the middle door on the right
side.

THE SMOLDERING STUDY

Save your game!

Click on the clock device on the right side of the door and attach
the three hooks at the extreme bottom of each weight.  Then, place
the middle gear wheel behind the center bracket of the clock.
Place the three weights on the bottom hooks left to right, as
follows:  Gold, then Blue, then Silver.  The clock face will open.
Click the gold key in the face of the clock to wind it.

"THERE'S A BOMB IN THE BUILDING!"

and you are just about to detonate the darn thing...............
Cross the room to the little door that leads back to the library.
Put the bag of gun powder on the door handle and then place the
lantern beneath it.  Sherlock will ignite the powder in a
cutscene.  The door will blow open loudly and you'll be up on the
gallery, an action which culminates in the long anticipated
meeting with Lord Montcalfe.  After a short and panicky scene
where Montacalfe warns about the pending bomb explosion, which
will undoubtedly destroy the mansion, and everyone in it, you are
ready to begin the last level of the game.


-----------------------------------------------------

LEVEL 5

THE ELECTRIFIED LIBRARY

Save your game!

Do not touch the gallery railings!

Walk around to the opposite end of the gallery and turn around to
see a large blue book on the shelf.  Click on it.  In a cutscene
the shelving will move aside to reveal an antiquated Faraday
machine which is producing the electricity for the railings.  Pick
up the SHOVEL from the left, beside the open doors of the machine.
Use the shovel to scoop the hot coals out of the fire box.  Then
pull the lever on the right side of the round boiler mechanism
above.  The machine has been deactivated, so the hand railings are
now safe to the touch.  Go back around to the full door that leads
back to the hallway.  Look down and pick up the old rifle. Examine
it to find the mummy who's trying to blow up the museum, along
with your very own self, Montcalfe and whomever else might be
lurking about, apparently has "skin on his fingers."  Aha, just as
you thought.  This mummy isn't quite dead after all.

Go down the spiral stairs and left to pick up the ladder standing
nearby.  Take it to the shelf with red books in the opposite
corner of the library.  Set it against the shelves and climb it to
find a receipt for explosive materials and a dynamite user's
guide. And, to the right a DROPLET PIPETTE.  Leave the room by the
double doors and return to the bottom floor study.  Take the
CANDLE from the candlestick on the desk to the right.

THE DILEMMA IN THE STUDY

You can walk around the toppled furniture to find another puzzle
on the same wall (to the left) where you came in.  You will have
to leave this room and examine the adjacent rooms, picking up
several more items and the additional tiles or squares you need to
solve the puzzle.

Leave the room and enter the first exhibit room.  Go across the
room and look down in front of the shattered mummy case to find a
trap door with some kind of mechanical device.  Remember where it
is.  Go across the room to the tall display cabinet. Pick up that
familiar sacrificial KNIFE from the bottom shelf.  Go forward,
turn left and move the blue urn.  Get the BATCHER hidden inside.
Turn around and enter the next exhibit room through the double
doors on the end wall.

Find the broken case in the middle of the room with drawers.  Use
the knife to open a drawer and get the BLACK SQUARES and the WHITE
SQUARES.  Note that the mummy has disappeared from the case in the
center of the room.  Just past it, on the floor, pick up an AXE.
Go into the next room (pale blue walls) and go along the left side
to pick up (using your knife) two small CONTAINERS and a gray CUP
which looks like a salad bowl.  Proceed to the end of the room
where the god and goddess statues were kept in the glass case.
Some of them have fallen to the floor. Find an odd LAMP in front
of the cabinet.

Go to the room where the mummy was (center room) and find a small
OIL FLASK to the right of the side door to the reception hall,
where the chandelier is blocking it.  Go back (left from front
hall door) out to the next room and down the right wall to the
orange cabinet in the far right corner.  Use your knife to open it
and find MORE SQUARES.  That should do up the preparations to take
on that daunting looking puzzle in the ground floor study.

Turn around.  Go down to the other end and out the left side door
back to the study.  Approach the Japanese tile
(Gridder/Conceptis/Nonogram) puzzle in the wall niche.  If you
have everything you need, Sherlock will say, "Let's do it!"  The
squares will magically appear under the puzzle in two
"containers."  Each contains colored squares for completing the
puzzle.

The Japanese Tile Puzzle:

Instruction:  This type of puzzle is called among other thing,
Conceptis, Gridder, and Nonogram.  It's made to look more
difficult because you have two colors to work with here.  The
object is to fill in the appropriate squares to form a picture.
The picture is comprised of ight gray and dark gray tiles, which
are appropriately placed to create the picture.  The numbers at
the top and side of the grid represent the consecutive darker gray
square placement.  Light gray is the background color.  An example
would be 1.9.1.2 and would involve 1 dark gray tile followed by 9,
then 1, then 2. The question is where would these tiles or strings
of tiles be placed along that particular line. Using the
horizontal and vertical numbers, you can logically derive the
arrangement of the darker tiles (and the background tiles,
secondarily).  You might want to copy your particular grid (yes,
I'm sorry, but the picture changes from game to game) to paper and
work it out off line, without running out of time. (Oh yes, I'm
sorry two times, the puzzle is also timed!)


-----------------------------------------------------

Note: If you are totally exhausted just thinking about all this
and are now in the last throes of anguish before you start
forcibly removing your hair, or worst yet, you are beginning to
show signs of criminal behavior.....THERE IS A BYPASS FOR THIS
PUZZLE.  I won't include it here in the content of the walkthrough
as it is too easy to read accidentally. But, I'll be happy to
provide the bypass if you email me at the address shown at the end
of the walkthrough.


-----------------------------------------------------

After the puzzle is solved (by some combination of genius and
magic) you will be able to pick up a large LEVER from the puzzle
alcove. Take the lever back to the first exhibit room just outside
the study door.  Use the lever on the mechanism in the floor that
you found there, under the carpet runner (in front of the mummy
case in the middle of the left wall).

Use the lever on the mechanism to move aside (in a cutscene) a
sarcophagus in the farthest (third) room from the study.  When you
click on the machinery under the sarcophagus, Sherlock will let
you know you need more light.  Turn around around and go back to
the first exhibit room off the study.  Go to the glass encased
sarcophagus on the right wall. In inventory combine the oil flask
with the ancient lamp.  Then use the lamp on the wall mounted gas
lamp above the sarcophagus.  Go back through the other two rooms
and click the now light lamp on the open sarcophagus. You'll find
yourself back in the storage room.

With the ladder you just descended at your back, go to the far
left corner fo the room and pick up a ROPE dangling from the shelf
in the left corner of the storage room.  It doesn't look much like
it did on your prior visit, but you'll remember its where you
dropped several items in the standing urns.

THE TREACHEROUS LABORATORY

Go to the far end of the long table against the wall and pick up a
wooden BOX.  Take it across the room and into the alcove that the
explosion has exposed behind the fallen display case.

Yikes, its THE bomb!  Save your game!

The Bomb Puzzle:

1. Put the box you just found on top of the big box you see in the
corner.

2. Put the batcher/scale on the small box.

3. Put the cup (gray bowl) on the left side of the batcher (hard
to see here.)

4. Place the pipette above the bowl.

5. Put the candle on the right side of the batcher.

6. Combine the axe with the rope in inventory.

7. Put this combined apparatus on the hook on the wall up to your
right.

8. Light the candle with your lamp from inventory, and step out of
the room for safety.

You will see the candle burn the rope in two, the axe drop and
sever the steam pipe, and the dynamite bomb will be forever
silenced.

HOORAY!  You've won and have saved your own hide as well as to
have captured the culprits.

The ending movie reveals the appearance of the vacationing Watson,
along with sufficient numbers of local law enforcement.  In the
company of the guilty, Sherlock unwinds, in a lengthy narrative,
the mystery of the mummy.

Congratulations, Sherlock!
