SECTION TWO: VENICE
(You now have your famous whip!)
(Take note of that MANHOLE COVER - it is your way out of the
Catacombs.......you'll also need an empty wine bottle) - (when the automatic
sequence ends, you will be alone in the foyer of the Library - apart from that
deaf librarian!) - Go back outside and make your way to the patio where you
arrived in Venice - Walk over to the far left table where the two lovers are
talking over a bottle of wine - LOOK WINE BOTTLE - PICK UP WINE BOTTLE -
(Sometimes they may NOT have finished with it - in that case walk around the
other tables and keep trying to pick it up until they let you - Having
obtained the empty wine bottle return to the Library foyer.
(You now have to search all the stacks of books and obtain the following THREE
books: "MEIN KAMPF", "FLIGHT MANUAL" and "BOOK OF MAPS"........be patient,
this takes time!!) - LOOK at every stack and when you locate the correct
section for the particular title you are seeking, select WHAT IS and find
'BOOK' as opposed to 'BOOKS'. When you have obtained all three, LOOK at them
for further hints and clues - Now locate the METAL POST (with the RED CORDON)
and PICK UP both of them.......you only need to PICK UP METAL POST and the
cordon comes with it!
Now walk to the Stained Glass window (not the foyer) and Walk up to it - LOOK
WINDOW - LOOK GRAIL DIARY - (Note the design of the window on the page,
particularly the positions of the ANGELS, the pattern of the SHIELD and the
design resting ATOP THE SHIELD. Walk around the stained glass windows until
you find the one that MATCHES EXACTLY that in your diary.
LOOK GRAIL DIARY again and note the message below the picture:"If ye would
enter...........". This tells you which column to go to (LEFT or RIGHT) and
which number to take note of (FIRST,SECOND or THIRD) - Walk up to the correct
column - LOOK INSCRIPTION - (You will see a set of Roman numerals......note
the one you require, 1st, 2nd or 3rd) - Walk to the MATCHING SLAB - USE METAL
POST WITH SLAB (Number?) - Ignore the Guard who tries to stop you, and you are
now in the Catacombs!!
NOTE: It is wise to save your game at this stage and these are the items that
you should currently have with you:
EMPTY WINE BOTTLE BOOK OF MAPS FLIGHT MANUAL GRAIL DIARY MEIN KAMPF RED
CORDON OLD BOOK WHIP SMALL KEY PAINTING
Looking at the Book Of Maps provides a rough guide as to the layout of the
Catacombs.......but it is ONLY a guide!!
SECTION THREE: THE CATACOMBS IN VENICE
From the first chamber (with the steps, where you entered), proceed through
the archway facing away from you in the centre of the screen. refer to Level 1
of the Catacombs maps and make your way to the two skeletons chained to the
wall. Position the cursor over the hook on the arm of the right-hand skeleton
and PICK UP THE HOOK.
Refer to the Level 1 map and make your way to the cavern with the torch on the
wall. The torch cannot be taken or lit but it is a lever to operate a trapdoor
mechanism. However, it is rather encrusted with hard mud and this must first
be loosened with water. Exit right through the broken wooden door.
Now proceed to the cavern with skulls and bones. You will notice a stone slab
in the floor. This slab cannot be lifted from this side and is, in fact, the
only EXIT from Level 1A, as we shall soon see! Exit through the right tunnel.
Follow the maps to the pool of water. You need to get beyond this water to
gain access to the lower levels (2&3) of the Catacombs. Notice the plug at the
bottom of the water-filled cavern - this must be removed from BELOW to drain
the water away. Let's get some water first for that torch! USE WINE BOTTLE
WITH POOL OF WATER.
Now return to where the torch is. (See map). Walk up to the torch and USE WINE
BOTTLE ON TORCH to loosen the mud. PULL TORCH and down you go!! You are now on
Level 1A and you lose the wine bottle.
Make your way to the stone bridge. Cross the bridge to the other side and you
are now inside a small cavern. Walk up to the first inscription and READ
INSCRIPTION. They refer to a description of the correct Grail. Walk back over
the bridge and stop directly under the plug. USE HOOK WITH WOODEN PLUG. Now go
left of the plug and USE WHIP WITH PLUG/HOOK. The water will now be drained
from that pool, collapsing the stone bridge in the process!! Exit left, walk
to the tunnel with the ladder and go up through the stone slab, back to Level
1.
Exit right and make your way to where the pool was. There we are - all
drained! Exit far right and follow the maps to the wooden machinery. Walk up
to the machine and USE RED CORDON ON MACHINE to replace the drive belt. Now,
walk over to the wheel on the right and TURN ON WHEEL. This will lower a
drawbridge for you on Level 2. (Turning the wheel again will RAISE the
drawbridge again!). Exit right.
Follow the maps to the wooden figures panel. Walk in front of the statues and
LOOK GRAIL DIARY. Note the correct sequence from the LEFT page. Start with the
RIGHT statue and PUSH STATUE until it matches the right figure in the diary.
Now go to the LEFT statue and PUSH STATUE until it matches the left figure in
the diary. Finally, PUSH the centre STATUE and, if you've got it right, the
door will now open. Go through the door and down the steps to Level 2.
Follow the maps and proceed to the drawbridge cavern. Cross the drawbridge
(which you lowered earlier) and exit the other side. Follow the maps to the
cavern with shelves and exit left. Follow the maps again until you reach the
musical skulls cavern and wooden door, which leads down to Level 3. Walk up to
the skulls and LOOK GRAIL DIARY. You will now see a musical notation set on
one of the pages. Read the notes in the diary from LEFT to RIGHT. The TOP LINE
of the staff corresponds with the LEFT skull; The SECOND LINE corresponds with
the SECOND FROM THE LEFT skull, and so on. A note BELOW the staff, corresponds
with the RIGHTMOST (SIXTH) skull. Note the order of pushing the skulls. It is
a good idea to select PUSH from the text then position the cursor over the
required skull and clicking, to ensure that you push the correct one. After
pushing the skulls in the correct sequence, the door on the right will now
open, affording access to Level 3.
Go through the door on the right and follow the Level 3 map to the Crypt. Walk
up to the casket and OPEN CASKET. LOOK CASKET..........Ta! Da!!....You will
now see the body of a Knight!! The shield is the second marker that Donovan
spoke of.......it mentions the ancient city of Alexandretta......today, the
city of Iskenderun is built on its ruins.......we'll find the Grail near
there.
Go RIGHT and you come to an iron grating. Position the cursor over the lock
mechanism and OPEN OLD RUSTY LOCK. Exit right through the pipe. You are now
back under the Piazza. Go up to the ladder and OPEN MANHOLE COVER then go up.
Elsa will now rejoin you.....as will a wet Marcus! He tells you that your
Father is being held captive in the Brunwald Castle on the Austrian-German
border and you tell him that the Grail is in Iskenderun. You arrange to meet
in Iskenderun after you've rescued your Father. You now travel automatically
to Castle Brunwald.
SECTION FOUR: CASTLE BRUNWALD
NOTE: You will need to thoroughly explore the Castle to familiarise yourself
with its layout, before attempting to solve all its problems!
On arrival, enter the Castle and bluff your way past the Butler to gain more
points than if you fight. To save time, I have used a series of numbers
corresponding with the lines of dialogue available, so for the Butler, select
choices 2, 1 and then 2. (2.1.2.). The Butler will now leave the Castle.
Take the top exit to the North Wing and locate the room with the Drunken Guard
in it. Talk to the drunk and ask him every question except the one accusing
him of being drunk on duty. You should now be carrying his stein.
Exit this room and locate the Kitchen. Walk to the keg and fill the stein with
ale and then walk over to the fireplace and extinguish the hot coals with the
ale. Wait a few moments for the steam to disperse then take the roast boar and
head for the Castle Entrance.
Walk past the swastika emblem and enter the ground floor Hallway. Head
Southwards where you will meet a Guard. Use the dialogue lines: 3.2.1 then
head for the Laundry Room. Here steal the Servant's uniform, then leave this
room and walk towards the top of the screen in the direction of the staircase.
Just before you get to the stairs you will bump into another Guard. Use the
dialogue lines: 1.2.2. and ascend the stairs.
At the top of the stairs quickly nip into the first room on the right (LEFT ON
SCREEN!). Change into the Servant's uniform and leave the room, follow the
corridor down the screen until you meet another Guard at the T-Junction. Offer
this one the PAINTING and then move right across the screen and along the
corridor and up to the door on your left. Enter this room and open the chest
that you find there. Take the Uniform and examine it to find a Small Brass
Key. Now return to the room at the top of the stairs - where you last changed
clothes - and change back into your original Indy clothes.
Go back down to the Laundry room and you can now operate the key on the lock
on the clothing rack. Take the Grey Uniform and go back upstairs to your
'changing' room. Change into this uniform. Leave this room and follow the
corridor around past the room where you found the last chest, and left and
upwards on your screen to the next door on your left. Enter this room and use
dialogue line: 3 with the Guard and leave.
Go up the screen and then right at the T-Junction and enter the room at the
extreme right end of this next corridor. Talk to this Guard using the dialogue
lines: 2.2.3. Leave this room and walk to the extreme left end of this
corridor to enter the Castle Security Centre. Here, offer the Guard your copy
of Mein Kampf - which you should have obtained from the Library in Venice -
and he will leave you alone here. It is possible to de-activate the security
system by pouring some ale through that grating, but for the purposes of this
solution, we're gonna get captured!! Now, simply leave this room.
From your current screen position in the corridor, walk to the right then down
the screen, then across to the extreme right of your screen to the base of
another staircase - DO NOT go upstairs just yet! Instead move down the screen
to meet yet another Guard. Talk to him using the dialogue lines: 3.1.2.1. then
go into the room behind him and take the First Aid Kit. Leave this room and go
up the screen and ascend those stairs to the upper floor.
Here you will meet another Guard where you should challenge him by using the
dialogue lines: 1.2.1. Vogul's Office is the FIRST door you see from the head
of the stairs so when you have dealt with the Guard, enter it. Approach the
dog and give it the roast boar that you lifted from the Kitchen. Take the
Trophy and the Pass from the filing cabinet, leave the room and find your way
back downstairs to the head of the lower staircase where you changed your
clothes earlier, enter the room and change back into your Indy gear.
Now leave this room and go back to the Kitchen to fill your newly possessed
TROPHY with ale. Go back to your 'changing' room and change into your uniform,
then go up to the Upper Floor. Proceed down past Vogul's Office and walk
towards the left of the screen where you will bump into 'Biff the Nazi'!!!
Words mean little to this creep! Offer him your trophy full of ale and he'll
quickly swig it down before preparing himself to knock your block
off......however, the ale will affect his performance and, provided you have
maintained your fitness, one swift punch from you will send him to
tweety-land!!
Right, just one more Guard to deal with. After dealing with Biff proceed
downwards and along the left of the bottom corridor. When you meet the Guard,
use the dialogue lines: 3.2.3. Go back towards the right of your screen, then
up to the top and left along the top corridor to the last door. Enter this to
locate Henry!! Pull the wires above the door to activate the alarm and you
will both now be tied up downstairs in front of a statue of armour.
[SAVE GAME HERE!!]
Saving is particularly important here as you must be positioned EXACTLY in
order for the axe to cut through your bonds!
Pull the chair until your bonds are exactly in line with the axe above then
KICK the armour and the axe will - hopefully - cut the ropes! Now PUSH the
statue on the LEFT of the Fireplace and an opening will be revealed. Proceed
through this opening, take that convenient motorcycle combination waiting
outside and head for Berlin!
SECTION FIVE: BERLIN
NOTE: There are several methods of completing this particular section so what
follows is a guide as to the order of business as opposed to step-by-step
instructions.
Arriving at Berlin you will first retrieve the Grail Diary from Dr. Schneider.
Having turned around you will come face to face with the Fuhrer himself. Give
him the Pass and, thinking that you are a fan wanting his autograph, he will
sign it. You now have a pass authorised by the Fuhrer himself!
You now get back on your motorcycle for a tour of Nazi Germany! From time to
time you'll be stopped by German sentries. Simply show them the pass in order
to continue. Eventually you should arrive at the Aerodrome.
Get HENRY to ask the man with the newspaper about his grandchildren. While
they are engaged in conversation, you should carefully rifle his pockets and
steal his TICKETS. Now head outside to the waiting Zeppelin airship. Climb
aboard and give your tickets to the Steward. Once the airship is airborne send
Henry to the left, towards the piano player. Get him to place his coins in the
pianist's bowl and ask when the Zeppelin is due to land.
Meanwhile, the craft's Radio Operator will hear music and leave his post. You
must quickly duck inside his cabin and OPEN the CABINET. Taking the wrench you
must then smash the Radio and then leave. (You may be confronted by the Radio
Operator if you're not quick enough, in which case you will have to fight!).
HINT...If you still can't do the radio smashing in the time allocated, simply
SWITCH to Henry and ask him to request another song, then SWITCH back again as
the Operator leaves again! It is possible!!
Now, insert the wrench into the hole near the Radio Operator's cabin and TURN
it. A Ladder will appear from the Roof and you should climb into the
Zeppelin's upper reaches. Avoiding the Guards you must negotiate the maze of
catwalks and locate the exit at the bottom left. There is a biplane below you
here! Climb into the biplane.
FLYING HINTS.....Indy does the FLYING and Henry does the SHOOTING. The more
fighters you can shoot down, the farther out of Germany you will get, and the
more Checkpoints you will fly over. Eventually, if you shoot down all the
enemy planes - 18 of them - then you will run out of fuel and crash land!
There is no SIMPLE winning strategy but the following may help: Always try to
start with your plane centred in the screen. The first time this is easy
because you automatically start here! Later, you'll find that you'll have to
hurry to reposition yourself after shooting down an enemy.
When the enemy plane appears, watch the cross-hair move towards it. This
represents Henry's aiming point for his machine gun. Just BEFORE the
cross-hair and the enemy plane come together, hit the key to send your biplane
AWAY from the enemy, in as near a straight line as you can manage. This will
often result in Henry successfully shooting him down. If the enemy plane is
still there when your plane reaches the edge of the screen, move your plane
along the edge by making a right-angle turn, then back towards the centre to
try again.
If the enemy first comes in from the LEFT side of the screen, wait until the
cross-hair is almost centred upon it then move YOUR plane to the RIGHT. When
your plane reaches the RIGHT edge, move it up or down until it reaches the
corner of the screen. Then move DIAGONALLY back to the centre.
Remember....PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
Eventually you and Henry will crash land.........how far you've travelled will
depend on how many enemy planes you downed. Now take the BLUE car and get on
your way - with Henry - towards Iskenderun. Show your 'Hitler-signed' pass at
any Checkpoint to proceed.
SECTION SIX: ISKENDERUN
Upon arrival at the Temple, Donovan will take a shot at Henry! Proceed to the
North direction to face your first test. You should refer to the PRINTED Grail
Diary that came with your game now. Page 56 shows a picture of some rocks, a
mechanism and a 'X'. The 'X' marks the spot in the graphic that you have to
walk to. Your character will automatically kneel when he reaches this spot on
the screen. Now wait and you have passed your first test - the Breath of God.
You must now face your second test - the WORD of God. Here you must simply
step ONLY on the lettered stones that are in the NAME OF GOD, i.e,
J-E-H-O-V-A. This name will be repeated as you cross. You can back up and move
diagonally as long as you don't step on the WRONG letters! Once you are safely
across you will have completed your second test.
The third and final test is the PATH of God. This is so simple it's almost
unreal!! But real it is and just BELIEVE that it is possible and it will be!!
As soon as the chasm screen appears quickly click on the RIGHT side and walk
straight across........thin air.......if you pause for thought you'll blow it
- have faith!
Having completed the three tests sucessfully you will now meet the last
remaining Knight who has been guarding the Grail for 700 years! He will ask
you to choose a Cup from many others that are on display along the wall.
If you remember the inscriptions in the Catacombs of Venice which refer to
your PRINTED Grail Diary you will know whether the real Grail GLOWS. Pick up
the Grail that fits the CORRECT description. Now, use the Grail with the Holy
Water. This will tell you if you have made the correct choice. With the
correct Grail in your possession, return to the Temple's entrance to help your
father.
Meanwhile, Dr. Schneider will grab the cup and try to make good her escape. As
she does this, so the floor will open up and she'll fall with the Grail. Well,
you cannot save the Doctor but you DO have a chance to save the Grail. You
must quickly USE your WHIP on the GRAIL to save it.
You can leave now, but the noble thing to do is to give the Grail back to the
Knight to complete the game!!!
As I've hinted at throughout this solution, there are various OTHER ways of
tackling some of the puzzles and more than one route to its successful
conclusion!.......Have fun finding them!!!
TALK to Marcus at the start - (Select: "What do you mean, considering his
situation?", then: "After my job, eh? Who is this expert?"...to learn of John
Reid) - Walk to the drinking fountain - USE DRINKING FOUNTAIN - Walk to the
Gymnasium - CLOSE DOOR - Walk to the Locker Room - (You will automatically
change and enter the boxing ring..........select: "Go easy on me. I'm a bit

Looking at the Book Of Maps provides a rough guide as to the layout of the
Catacombs.......but it is ONLY a guide!!
SECTION THREE: THE CATACOMBS IN VENICE
From the first chamber (with the steps, where you entered), proceed through
the archway facing away from you in the centre of the screen. refer to Level 1
of the Catacombs maps and make your way to the two skeletons chained to the
wall. Position the cursor over the hook on the arm of the right-hand skeleton
and PICK UP THE HOOK.
Refer to the Level 1 map and make your way to the cavern with the torch on the
wall. The torch cannot be taken or lit but it is a lever to operate a trapdoor
mechanism. However, it is rather encrusted with hard mud and this must first
be loosened with water. Exit right through the broken wooden door.
Now proceed to the cavern with skulls and bones. You will notice a stone slab
in the floor. This slab cannot be lifted from this side and is, in fact, the
only EXIT from Level 1A, as we shall soon see! Exit through the right tunnel.
Follow the maps to the pool of water. You need to get beyond this water to

bottom of the water-filled cavern - this must be removed from BELOW to drain
the water away. Let's get some water first for that torch! USE WINE BOTTLE
WITH POOL OF WATER.
Now return to where the torch is. (See map). Walk up to the torch and USE WINE
BOTTLE ON TORCH to loosen the mud. PULL TORCH and down you go!! You are now on
Level 1A and you lose the wine bottle.
Make your way to the stone bridge. Cross the bridge to the other side and you
are now inside a small cavern. Walk up to the first inscription and READ
INSCRIPTION. They refer to a description of the correct Grail. Walk back over
the bridge and stop directly under the plug. USE HOOK WITH WOODEN PLUG. Now go
left of the plug and USE WHIP WITH PLUG/HOOK. The water will now be drained
from that pool, collapsing the stone bridge in the process!! Exit left, walk
to the tunnel with the ladder and go up through the stone slab, back to Level
1.
Exit right and make your way to where the pool was. There we are - all
drained! Exit far right and follow the maps to the wooden machinery. Walk up
to the machine and USE RED CORDON ON MACHINE to replace the drive belt. Now,
walk over to the wheel on the right and TURN ON WHEEL. This will lower a
drawbridge for you on Level 2. (Turning the wheel again will RAISE the
drawbridge again!). Exit right.
Follow the maps to the wooden figures panel. Walk in front of the statues and
LOOK GRAIL DIARY. Note the correct sequence from the LEFT page. Start with the
RIGHT statue and PUSH STATUE until it matches the right figure in the diary.
Now go to the LEFT statue and PUSH STATUE until it matches the left figure in
the diary. Finally, PUSH the centre STATUE and, if you've got it right, the
door will now open. Go through the door and down the steps to Level 2.
Follow the maps and proceed to the drawbridge cavern. Cross the drawbridge
(which you lowered earlier) and exit the other side. Follow the maps to the
cavern with shelves and exit left. Follow the maps again until you reach the
musical skulls cavern and wooden door, which leads down to Level 3. Walk up to
the skulls and LOOK GRAIL DIARY. You will now see a musical notation set on
one of the pages. Read the notes in the diary from LEFT to RIGHT. The TOP LINE
of the staff corresponds with the LEFT skull; The SECOND LINE corresponds with
the SECOND FROM THE LEFT skull, and so on. A note BELOW the staff, corresponds
with the RIGHTMOST (SIXTH) skull. Note the order of pushing the skulls. It is
a good idea to select PUSH from the text then position the cursor over the
required skull and clicking, to ensure that you push the correct one. After
pushing the skulls in the correct sequence, the door on the right will now
open, affording access to Level 3.
Go through the door on the right and follow the Level 3 map to the Crypt. Walk
up to the casket and OPEN CASKET. LOOK CASKET..........Ta! Da!!....You will
now see the body of a Knight!! The shield is the second marker that Donovan
spoke of.......it mentions the ancient city of Alexandretta......today, the
city of Iskenderun is built on its ruins.......we'll find the Grail near
there.
Go RIGHT and you come to an iron grating. Position the cursor over the lock
mechanism and OPEN OLD RUSTY LOCK. Exit right through the pipe. You are now
back under the Piazza. Go up to the ladder and OPEN MANHOLE COVER then go up.
Elsa will now rejoin you.....as will a wet Marcus! He tells you that your
Father is being held captive in the Brunwald Castle on the Austrian-German
border and you tell him that the Grail is in Iskenderun. You arrange to meet
in Iskenderun after you've rescued your Father. You now travel automatically
to Castle Brunwald.
SECTION FOUR: CASTLE BRUNWALD
NOTE: You will need to thoroughly explore the Castle to familiarise yourself
with its layout, before attempting to solve all its problems!
On arrival, enter the Castle and bluff your way past the Butler to gain more
points than if you fight. To save time, I have used a series of numbers
corresponding with the lines of dialogue available, so for the Butler, select
choices 2, 1 and then 2. (2.1.2.). The Butler will now leave the Castle.
Take the top exit to the North Wing and locate the room with the Drunken Guard
in it. Talk to the drunk and ask him every question except the one accusing
him of being drunk on duty. You should now be carrying his stein.
Exit this room and locate the Kitchen. Walk to the keg and fill the stein with
ale and then walk over to the fireplace and extinguish the hot coals with the
ale. Wait a few moments for the steam to disperse then take the roast boar and
head for the Castle Entrance.
Walk past the swastika emblem and enter the ground floor Hallway. Head
Southwards where you will meet a Guard. Use the dialogue lines: 3.2.1 then
head for the Laundry Room. Here steal the Servant's uniform, then leave this
room and walk towards the top of the screen in the direction of the staircase.
Just before you get to the stairs you will bump into another Guard. Use the
dialogue lines: 1.2.2. and ascend the stairs.
At the top of the stairs quickly nip into the first room on the right (LEFT ON
SCREEN!). Change into the Servant's uniform and leave the room, follow the
corridor down the screen until you meet another Guard at the T-Junction. Offer
this one the PAINTING and then move right across the screen and along the
corridor and up to the door on your left. Enter this room and open the chest
that you find there. Take the Uniform and examine it to find a Small Brass
Key. Now return to the room at the top of the stairs - where you last changed
clothes - and change back into your original Indy clothes.
Go back down to the Laundry room and you can now operate the key on the lock
on the clothing rack. Take the Grey Uniform and go back upstairs to your
'changing' room. Change into this uniform. Leave this room and follow the
corridor around past the room where you found the last chest, and left and
upwards on your screen to the next door on your left. Enter this room and use
dialogue line: 3 with the Guard and leave.
Go up the screen and then right at the T-Junction and enter the room at the
extreme right end of this next corridor. Talk to this Guard using the dialogue
lines: 2.2.3. Leave this room and walk to the extreme left end of this
corridor to enter the Castle Security Centre. Here, offer the Guard your copy
of Mein Kampf - which you should have obtained from the Library in Venice -
and he will leave you alone here. It is possible to de-activate the security
system by pouring some ale through that grating, but for the purposes of this
solution, we're gonna get captured!! Now, simply leave this room.
From your current screen position in the corridor, walk to the right then down
the screen, then across to the extreme right of your screen to the base of
another staircase - DO NOT go upstairs just yet! Instead move down the screen
to meet yet another Guard. Talk to him using the dialogue lines: 3.1.2.1. then
go into the room behind him and take the First Aid Kit. Leave this room and go
up the screen and ascend those stairs to the upper floor.
Here you will meet another Guard where you should challenge him by using the
dialogue lines: 1.2.1. Vogul's Office is the FIRST door you see from the head
of the stairs so when you have dealt with the Guard, enter it. Approach the
dog and give it the roast boar that you lifted from the Kitchen. Take the
Trophy and the Pass from the filing cabinet, leave the room and find your way
back downstairs to the head of the lower staircase where you changed your
clothes earlier, enter the room and change back into your Indy gear.
Now leave this room and go back to the Kitchen to fill your newly possessed
TROPHY with ale. Go back to your 'changing' room and change into your uniform,
then go up to the Upper Floor. Proceed down past Vogul's Office and walk
towards the left of the screen where you will bump into 'Biff the Nazi'!!!
Words mean little to this creep! Offer him your trophy full of ale and he'll
quickly swig it down before preparing himself to knock your block
off......however, the ale will affect his performance and, provided you have
maintained your fitness, one swift punch from you will send him to
tweety-land!!
Right, just one more Guard to deal with. After dealing with Biff proceed
downwards and along the left of the bottom corridor. When you meet the Guard,
use the dialogue lines: 3.2.3. Go back towards the right of your screen, then
up to the top and left along the top corridor to the last door. Enter this to
locate Henry!! Pull the wires above the door to activate the alarm and you
will both now be tied up downstairs in front of a statue of armour.
[SAVE GAME HERE!!]
Saving is particularly important here as you must be positioned EXACTLY in
order for the axe to cut through your bonds!
Pull the chair until your bonds are exactly in line with the axe above then
KICK the armour and the axe will - hopefully - cut the ropes! Now PUSH the
statue on the LEFT of the Fireplace and an opening will be revealed. Proceed
through this opening, take that convenient motorcycle combination waiting
outside and head for Berlin!
SECTION FIVE: BERLIN
NOTE: There are several methods of completing this particular section so what
follows is a guide as to the order of business as opposed to step-by-step
instructions.
Arriving at Berlin you will first retrieve the Grail Diary from Dr. Schneider.
Having turned around you will come face to face with the Fuhrer himself. Give
him the Pass and, thinking that you are a fan wanting his autograph, he will
sign it. You now have a pass authorised by the Fuhrer himself!
You now get back on your motorcycle for a tour of Nazi Germany! From time to
time you'll be stopped by German sentries. Simply show them the pass in order
to continue. Eventually you should arrive at the Aerodrome.
Get HENRY to ask the man with the newspaper about his grandchildren. While
they are engaged in conversation, you should carefully rifle his pockets and
steal his TICKETS. Now head outside to the waiting Zeppelin airship. Climb
aboard and give your tickets to the Steward. Once the airship is airborne send
Henry to the left, towards the piano player. Get him to place his coins in the
pianist's bowl and ask when the Zeppelin is due to land.
Meanwhile, the craft's Radio Operator will hear music and leave his post. You
must quickly duck inside his cabin and OPEN the CABINET. Taking the wrench you
must then smash the Radio and then leave. (You may be confronted by the Radio
Operator if you're not quick enough, in which case you will have to fight!).
HINT...If you still can't do the radio smashing in the time allocated, simply
SWITCH to Henry and ask him to request another song, then SWITCH back again as
the Operator leaves again! It is possible!!
Now, insert the wrench into the hole near the Radio Operator's cabin and TURN
it. A Ladder will appear from the Roof and you should climb into the
Zeppelin's upper reaches. Avoiding the Guards you must negotiate the maze of
catwalks and locate the exit at the bottom left. There is a biplane below you
here! Climb into the biplane.
FLYING HINTS.....Indy does the FLYING and Henry does the SHOOTING. The more
fighters you can shoot down, the farther out of Germany you will get, and the
more Checkpoints you will fly over. Eventually, if you shoot down all the
enemy planes - 18 of them - then you will run out of fuel and crash land!
There is no SIMPLE winning strategy but the following may help: Always try to
start with your plane centred in the screen. The first time this is easy
because you automatically start here! Later, you'll find that you'll have to
hurry to reposition yourself after shooting down an enemy.
When the enemy plane appears, watch the cross-hair move towards it. This
represents Henry's aiming point for his machine gun. Just BEFORE the
cross-hair and the enemy plane come together, hit the key to send your biplane
AWAY from the enemy, in as near a straight line as you can manage. This will
often result in Henry successfully shooting him down. If the enemy plane is
still there when your plane reaches the edge of the screen, move your plane
along the edge by making a right-angle turn, then back towards the centre to
try again.
If the enemy first comes in from the LEFT side of the screen, wait until the
cross-hair is almost centred upon it then move YOUR plane to the RIGHT. When
your plane reaches the RIGHT edge, move it up or down until it reaches the
corner of the screen. Then move DIAGONALLY back to the centre.
Remember....PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!!
Eventually you and Henry will crash land.........how far you've travelled will
depend on how many enemy planes you downed. Now take the BLUE car and get on
your way - with Henry - towards Iskenderun. Show your 'Hitler-signed' pass at
any Checkpoint to proceed.
SECTION SIX: ISKENDERUN
Upon arrival at the Temple, Donovan will take a shot at Henry! Proceed to the
North direction to face your first test. You should refer to the PRINTED Grail
Diary that came with your game now. Page 56 shows a picture of some rocks, a
mechanism and a 'X'. The 'X' marks the spot in the graphic that you have to
walk to. Your character will automatically kneel when he reaches this spot on
the screen. Now wait and you have passed your first test - the Breath of God.
You must now face your second test - the WORD of God. Here you must simply
step ONLY on the lettered stones that are in the NAME OF GOD, i.e,
J-E-H-O-V-A. This name will be repeated as you cross. You can back up and move
diagonally as long as you don't step on the WRONG letters! Once you are safely
across you will have completed your second test.
The third and final test is the PATH of God. This is so simple it's almost
unreal!! But real it is and just BELIEVE that it is possible and it will be!!
As soon as the chasm screen appears quickly click on the RIGHT side and walk
straight across........thin air.......if you pause for thought you'll blow it
- have faith!
Having completed the three tests sucessfully you will now meet the last
remaining Knight who has been guarding the Grail for 700 years! He will ask
you to choose a Cup from many others that are on display along the wall.
If you remember the inscriptions in the Catacombs of Venice which refer to
your PRINTED Grail Diary you will know whether the real Grail GLOWS. Pick up
the Grail that fits the CORRECT description. Now, use the Grail with the Holy
Water. This will tell you if you have made the correct choice. With the
correct Grail in your possession, return to the Temple's entrance to help your
father.
Meanwhile, Dr. Schneider will grab the cup and try to make good her escape. As
she does this, so the floor will open up and she'll fall with the Grail. Well,
you cannot save the Doctor but you DO have a chance to save the Grail. You
must quickly USE your WHIP on the GRAIL to save it.
You can leave now, but the noble thing to do is to give the Grail back to the
Knight to complete the game!!!
As I've hinted at throughout this solution, there are various OTHER ways of
tackling some of the puzzles and more than one route to its successful
conclusion!.......Have fun finding them!!!
