ACT 3 - SHADOW OF PAST
Contents
You awake with someone banging on your door. Go outside and talk to Fabius, who came in response to the Doctor’s letter.
Go to the Doctor’s house and talk to the mayor. Talk to the blacksmith, he doesn’t know where the Doctor is. Talk to the guard at the main gate to find he let him out. Go to the mines. Save your game.
Go down the shaft. You will come across Greer again and will have to fight him. This time you kill him. Talk to the Doctor, who is seriously hurt by the xombie poison. Give him the Sneeya’s Touch potion. You will automatically be at your house with the Doctor, who is dying. Ask him his birthdate.
When he dies, take his body to the cellar and prepar another Soulgreep potion: 2 Gwynlock, 2 Watersleep, 1 Devil’s Luck and 2 Tear of Stone. Drink it.
In the Temple, enter the door of one who was killed by poison. At the altars, pick: knowledge; Talanos; Dahn-en-nyan.
Enter the door by the sun mural and talk to the Doctor, he has much to tell you. Learn about the demon, the stone from the bed Jesus was layed on, and the Brotherhood’s attempts at covering the whole thing. You find that the Doctor has sent information to Rome about what’s going on in Cavorn.
The password is “For so is the will of God, that with well doing“. The reply to it is “ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men“. The riddle for the location of the stone is: “Where I stood, autumn had surrendered its reign, but spring still slept. It slept like the dead in their dreamless sleep, lying all around. And before my eyes, in the direction where the day falls asleep, in the ground I found what I sought“.
When you return, go to the monastery and talk to the Abbot. Two of the monks are missing. Talk to Fabius at the cemetery. He wants the guard north of the herbalist’s house. Go to the herbalist’s house and move the mouse pointer over the guard to learn his name. Go back to Fabius and tell him about the guard.
Inspect Phillip and Helen’s plaques and the dates on the side of the crypt. Pick up a piece of cloth near the SaintJohn’s crypt. Show it to the Abbot and tell him to send someone to investigate.
Since you need to wait until Fabius leaves the cemetery, go to the mayor’s house and tell Emma that Simon is dead. You will find her in the swamp and see her with Simon’s dead dog. She’s gone insane.
To find the stone, you need the riddle. “It slept like the dead in their dreamless sleep, lying all around” is a hint to read the epitaphs on the crosses at the cemetery. “Where I stood, autumn had surrendered its reign, but spring still slept“. Jonathan Winter’s epitaph says “Winter by name, fire by heart“. The monastery is north of Winter’s cross. Look west from Jonathan?s tombstone, “in the direction where the day falls asleep.” Use the shovel on the soft ground behind the tree (next to Mary Cobb’s tombstone) near the wall to find the stone. Save your game and make sure you are fully healed.
Go to the herbalist’s house, to find she has been strangled and engage a fight with a zombie. When you kill it, you will take her body to your cellar. Helen comes over to have a chat, she wants to live with you. After that talk to the mayor. Go to the mayor’s house. The mayor drowns Helen and poisons you.
