Check List and Puzzle Solutions
By Eileen Caraher
sneakers@msn.com
Visit my message board: Message Board I opted to do a check list and puzzle
solutions, because the game has so many twists and turns, that a step by step
walk through would be near to impossible.
First things first, Everyone should read their manual. It gives great insight
as to how the cursor act, and shortcuts for your keys, etc. It also gives you
a run down of the puzzles to be solve, and the People of Cyclone.
The premise of the game is that you arrive in the God-Forsaken, hotter than
all get out, po-dunk of an Arizona town, in the middle of Canyon Country. Your
mission Ч should you decide to accept it--hehe that was a joke~!! Anyway, you
need to find your friends, that have come to town, as a band, to play music
and help " Aunt Pearl" with her Cafe. But EVERYONE has disappeared~!! The idea
is to find 12 Bahos Sticks, place them in the Altar at the Kiva in Devil's
Mouth Canyon, and solve the mystery of the missing people~! To release you
friends from the grasp of the Spirit in the Canyon.
Remember throughout the town are Artifacts, and plaques that explain part of
the mystery you are trying to solve. So click on everything~!! And read and
pay attention to it ALL~!! You will be guided along by the ghost of Norah
Wharton and the mystery man in the Kochina Mask called Dark Cloud.
I will list the places in the town and the things you supposed to accomplish
in each place, of course, you do not do these in order as this is not a linear
game, you may do some things at a place and then have to come back later to
finish what you started. You must periodically watch some music videos on one
of the TV's, these have important clues in them. They also trigger other
events to happen.
GAS STATION
1.)Look around at Everything. Petrified Indian w/ Plaque.
2.)Notice the table with the drawer in it, this is where your chess pieces
that you collect will go. After a picture appears above the table on the wall.
They are at Sheriff's Office on the jail cell table, the Toucan's mouth at
Pearl's house on the dresser, the card catalogue at the Library/Museum, and in
Motel rm#6 in the dresser drawer. Once you have your chess pieces, look at
them with your eye, they will be marked for placement, refer to Olivia's
notebook, that you will obtain from the Warehouse.
3.)Listen and save the phone messages
4.)Look at calendar in bottom desk drawer
5.)Once you have placed the chess pieces, the cabinet will open and there will
be a screw driver inside and a note.
6.) Use the screw driver to unlock the desk drawer and get the gas can that is
inside. Use this on the pump outside to obtain some diesel fuel for the
generator at the Mine.
7.)There is an air compressor in the garage part of the station, that will
only work after you have completed other things throughout town. To use the
compressor, flip the switch, turn handle so that air pressure is 230psi and
then use other lever across the garage to lift the car.
8.)Retrieve Dave's Notebook from under the car, read it carefully and take the
key that is inside of it. It goes to the donation box at the Church. You must
have seen the video(Know Your Enemy) for any of this to work.
MOTEL LOBBY

must read the note on the counter from Dark Cloud, and pay for your Motel Room
with $40 and pick up your $2.50 in change. Then you are off to your room for a
nap and dream. Pay attention, to all these auto sequences, as they are full of

transporting you, so use your gum to cover the red light on the upper left
corner, and then watch some videos. Watch until you get Dark Cloud's message.

$2.50 plus a quarter from Phil's Market)for batteries to use in a cassette

Petrogliph Puzzle for this Bahos---
THE DEVIL's MOUTH CANYON The canyon is a set of 3 chambers with petrogliphs on
the walls, these chambers are separated by empty chambers, at the end is
another empty chamber followed by a stairway up to the Kiva which contains the
Altar for placing your Bahos Sticks. This Kiva is entered by use of a Blue
Door, that is only opened by clicking on the panel of petrogliph pictures and
touching the Blue Skull.
When placing your Bahos sticks in the Altar it is a good idea to keep you eye
on the cursor. Watching carefully when it changes to green, as some of the
holes for placing these sticks are kind of ambiguous.
The petrogliphs correspond to each Bahos, and the picture that was present
when you picked up the Bahos. When you enter the canyon with the Stick in hand
you must find the Petrogliph Puzzle and solve the placing of the pieces to be
able to then place it at the Kiva Altar.
While doing this the spirits of the petrogliphs are after you, they will zap
you life essence if you do not hurry through the canyon. You can be killed if
you lose all of your life essence. But if you need more, I mean really really
need more life essence you can click on one of the swirls and they will give
you a boost. As soon as you have a Bahos Stick in hand you will start to lose
your life essence, so hurry~!!
At some point during the game, the phones will ring, you may answer them, it
is generally Dark Cloud with some ominous message for you.
TV's all throughout town will transport you when the red/hypnotizing light is
not covered with the gum. You must watch the TV's to view the music videos
that contain the clues for the game.
You can also transport yourself, by clicking on your Map Option, and clicking
on any highlight area on the map to be transported there. You can only do this
with places that you have already been, as they will not highlight until you
have visited them.
Numbers such as 1-9-18-8-3 are actually codes. You'll see these numbers in
several location in the game such as on the letter from your trunk in the
motel and in Wendy's notebook. The code is a variation of the alphabet. Each
code number represents its alpha equivalent LESS FOUR. For example: The number
18 would translate to the letter N. 18-4=14. N is the 14th letter in the
alphabet.
Therefore, the above code (1-9-18-8-3) would translate to "WENDY"
One other trick, is that in your options menu is a configuration button,
clicking on this allows you to turn on your captions, turn up the lights, and
solve those pesky puzzles--but you will lose points if you solve the puzzles
with this button---LOTS of points.
Ok I have made you wait long enough for the end sequence --so here it
is.........
There are four endings
the Norah Ending
the Max/Dark Cloud Ending
the Spirit Ending
these entell giving the Real piece of the Lanyi to each of these characters
when you are in the Kiva standing before the Altar.
and the correct ending-----
Once you have all 12 Bahos Sticks placed in the Altar at the Kiva, you should
have in your possession
a cassette tape player
with batteries in it and
a cassette tape inserted(these 3 should be combined)
a bottle of ceremonial sand
the fake half of the lanyi
and the real half of the lanyi
Go to the Kiva, the back way through the Mine, when you get there you should
put the cassette player over the Black Hole and let it play Dark Cloud's Chant
for the Spirit.
*******this is where you should save your game*********
then you place the ceremonial sand over the Sand Painting on the floor to
complete the picture... you will be prompted to change disks here.
Then you can try all the endings.
But for correct ending follow this----
Insert the fake half of the lanyi in its place on the Altar, and Dark Cloud
will put his half in, then when he is bending down to speak to the Spirit, you
grab the fake half, and replace it with the real half(white markings). Now you
must complete one final Puzzle --but you have to do it QUICKLY~!! The object
of the Crystal Puzzle is to direct the beam of light through all the Crystals
and then back into the receptacle at the bottom of the puzzle. To do this you
must reposition the mirrors that the light is reflecting off of.
Here is the finished puzzle----
That's it, You're Done----Happy Shivering~!!!!!

Petrogliph Puzzle for this Bahos---
THE DEVIL's MOUTH CANYON The canyon is a set of 3 chambers with petrogliphs on
the walls, these chambers are separated by empty chambers, at the end is
another empty chamber followed by a stairway up to the Kiva which contains the
Altar for placing your Bahos Sticks. This Kiva is entered by use of a Blue
Door, that is only opened by clicking on the panel of petrogliph pictures and
touching the Blue Skull.
When placing your Bahos sticks in the Altar it is a good idea to keep you eye
on the cursor. Watching carefully when it changes to green, as some of the
holes for placing these sticks are kind of ambiguous.
The petrogliphs correspond to each Bahos, and the picture that was present
when you picked up the Bahos. When you enter the canyon with the Stick in hand
you must find the Petrogliph Puzzle and solve the placing of the pieces to be
able to then place it at the Kiva Altar.
While doing this the spirits of the petrogliphs are after you, they will zap
you life essence if you do not hurry through the canyon. You can be killed if
you lose all of your life essence. But if you need more, I mean really really
need more life essence you can click on one of the swirls and they will give
you a boost. As soon as you have a Bahos Stick in hand you will start to lose
your life essence, so hurry~!!
At some point during the game, the phones will ring, you may answer them, it
is generally Dark Cloud with some ominous message for you.
TV's all throughout town will transport you when the red/hypnotizing light is
not covered with the gum. You must watch the TV's to view the music videos
that contain the clues for the game.
You can also transport yourself, by clicking on your Map Option, and clicking
on any highlight area on the map to be transported there. You can only do this
with places that you have already been, as they will not highlight until you
have visited them.
Numbers such as 1-9-18-8-3 are actually codes. You'll see these numbers in
several location in the game such as on the letter from your trunk in the
motel and in Wendy's notebook. The code is a variation of the alphabet. Each
code number represents its alpha equivalent LESS FOUR. For example: The number
18 would translate to the letter N. 18-4=14. N is the 14th letter in the
alphabet.
Therefore, the above code (1-9-18-8-3) would translate to "WENDY"
One other trick, is that in your options menu is a configuration button,
clicking on this allows you to turn on your captions, turn up the lights, and
solve those pesky puzzles--but you will lose points if you solve the puzzles
with this button---LOTS of points.
Ok I have made you wait long enough for the end sequence --so here it
is.........
There are four endings
the Norah Ending
the Max/Dark Cloud Ending
the Spirit Ending
these entell giving the Real piece of the Lanyi to each of these characters
when you are in the Kiva standing before the Altar.
and the correct ending-----
Once you have all 12 Bahos Sticks placed in the Altar at the Kiva, you should
have in your possession
a cassette tape player
with batteries in it and
a cassette tape inserted(these 3 should be combined)
a bottle of ceremonial sand
the fake half of the lanyi
and the real half of the lanyi
Go to the Kiva, the back way through the Mine, when you get there you should
put the cassette player over the Black Hole and let it play Dark Cloud's Chant
for the Spirit.
*******this is where you should save your game*********
then you place the ceremonial sand over the Sand Painting on the floor to
complete the picture... you will be prompted to change disks here.
Then you can try all the endings.
But for correct ending follow this----
Insert the fake half of the lanyi in its place on the Altar, and Dark Cloud
will put his half in, then when he is bending down to speak to the Spirit, you
grab the fake half, and replace it with the real half(white markings). Now you
must complete one final Puzzle --but you have to do it QUICKLY~!! The object
of the Crystal Puzzle is to direct the beam of light through all the Crystals
and then back into the receptacle at the bottom of the puzzle. To do this you
must reposition the mirrors that the light is reflecting off of.
Here is the finished puzzle----
That's it, You're Done----Happy Shivering~!!!!!
