CHAPTER 6: THE SCREAM
We see Gus beating up Skalnic and leaving. Once downstairs, Stasek tells you there has been another murder in the Old Mill, but that you can’t get there because the bridge is out. After the caht, leave the area. Click on the map and go to the Shore.
THE SHORE
Go down to the river’s edge, turn left and go under the bridge. Hop onto the boat. Gus will automatically row to the Old Mill.
THE OLD MILL
The little rowboat gets caught under the wheel and stops it. Click on the wheel to have Gus climb it. Walk around the water tank until you see the dead body. Click on it to find another ring.
There’s a scene where Skalnic arrives and opens fire on Gus, who finds refuge inside the mill. Since the only way out is through the ladder, go down.
Inspect the oil machine. The container holds 5 litres; the bucket holds 3 litres, so you need to figure out a way to keep only 4 litres in the container in order to empty the water tank.
Oil pressure puzzle solution:
- Click on the top valve to fill the oil tank with 5 litres.
- Click on the bucket. Click on the lower valve to fill it (it takes 3 litres).
- Empty the bucket by clicking on the drain.
- Click on the lower valve to drain the remaining 2 litres into the bucket.
- Hang the bucket on the wall.
- Click on the upper valve to fill the oil tank with 5 litres again.
- Pick up the bucket.
- Click on the lower valve to fill the bucket (still with 2 litres in it), draining 1 litre from the container.
- Hang the bucket on the wall. Now you have 4 litres on the container.
- Press the red button.
You will see the water tank emptying. Go back outside, around the tank, towards the sewer entrance. Click on it and Gus will descend.
Follow the path marked with the red arrow to find another victim. Inspect it to find another ring. Follow the red path back and take the blue one to the exit.
Finally, you get to use all those rings to open the lock on the door. The first part of this puzzle consists in rotating all six rings into the right position and placing them on the grid.
From left to right:
- Grab the first ring. Rotate it counter-clockwise once. Place it on the top row, middle slot.
- Grab the second ring. Rotate it clockwise three times. Place it on the second row, left slot.
- Grab the third ring. Rotate it counter-clockwise five times. Place it on the top row, left slot.
- Grab the fourth ring. Rotate it clockwise five times. Place it on the top row, right slot.
- Grab the fifth ring. Rotate it clockwise three times. Place it on the second row, right slot.
- Grab the sixth ring. Rotate it clockwise once. Place it on the second row, middle slot.
Click the letters in this order, regardless of what ring or key piece is on that position: C, M, Q, U, J, G, B, M, P, T, J, F, A, I, O, S, L, E, A, B, C.Now the complicated lock becomes another sliding puzzle, with a twist. You need to place the key on the top row by pushing and pulling the different rows. This puzzle doesn’t reset, so save your progress before you start, just in case.
When you’re done, click on the handle on the top left corner to push the key in.
A new cinematic is launched as Gus opens the door. You will now find out why his memories of Prague are something he wouldn’t talk about. It’s a very sad and disturbing story.
