> I have never run across a game quite as frustrating as this one!! looks
like a good game but I can't seem to get anywhere!!
I'm at the Gallery in the beginning of the game and can't get
the Officer to show up with the ladder!
I have a walkthrough from MaGtRo .... who I have used before with
success. But this one has me pulling my hair out.!!!!
I have learned from searching through other walkthrough sites that this
game you HAVE TO go it a certain way to have things move forward!!
I have followed the walkthrough step by step and still can't get the
officer to show up with the ladder after the thieft of the painting.
Hi Penny, It looks like you posted in HTML instead of plain text, so I put a
> at start of your paragraphs because HTML doesn't, so we will know who said
what.
> I couldn't get the shoe prints in the restoration room to say anything
about the shoe size and the walkthrough said that 4 shoe sizes have to be
spoken about. I was able to measure all the prints except the ones before
the spilled paint. Nothing was ever said about the shoe size, even when I
measured many times. But even with the 3 sizes mentioned, only one is
writtened in the notebook.
You have to do some things in this game in a certain order before certain
events can take place so I can't remember if the shoe prints in Restoration
room showed up before doing other things. When the shoeprints show up, you
are able to use the magnifying glass and measuring tape. When using
measuring tape, you have to make sure to put the cursor at the top of the
footprint and pull it all the way down to the bottom, or maye it works from
the bottom up too.
> The walkthrough says to go to the office when your done looking at
everything and talk to the Director about the theft and Lupin. But Lupin is
not on the conversation list and no officer shows up with a ladder!
The ladder won't be shown till certain tasks are done. I checked UHS about
the game and it gives you the answers you need.
http://www.uhs-hints.com/uhsweb/sherlock-arsene.php - Look under the heading
"National Gallery of Painting after the Theft". Go down a couple of lines to
" Can I get information from the blue footprints" and read it, then read the
next 2 lines and the one headed " Are there any clues near the stolen
painting's former location? " - that line tells you about when and how you
get the ladder. You can't get the ladder till you have done the footprints.
I had some trouble too about the footprints . I think you need to check the
footprints going up the stairs to the painting gallery first. When you use
the magnifying glass and tape, if its done right, Sherlock (or whoever) says
something like "this is the thief's size 9 footprints, or something.
> If anyone has a good walkthrough or can help me with this and where
I went wrong PLEASE!!! HELP!!
I don't have much hair left!!!!
The UHS hints should give you the details you need. MacGro walkthrough gives
much the same information, but UHS can often be more detailed than regular
walkthroughs. You can't UHS hints unless you are a member, but you can read
them online. I had some of the same problems as you and got stuck for a bit,
but I thought the game was better than average. Good luck. Hope this saves
some of your hair :)
