Introduction
This walkthrough assumes you are familiar with operating the game's user
interface.
The Last Express is not a completely linear game, so this walkthrough is only
one order of events while others will also lead to a successful game
completion.
The events in this game do not always happen at the same time or in same
place for each game played. For this reason you may find it difficult to
follow this walkthrough exactly. You may get behind schedule and miss
opportunities. Usually you will get another chance to perform critical
actions. If the game ends prematurely you can always rewind.
General Hints
1.Whenever the conductors are not at their stations take a look at their
books. One of them sketches the passengers. These pictures may provide clues.
Check this book as often as you can. As the journey progresses, you will find
more sketches in his book. The other book contains the passenger list. 2.The
newspaper in the smoking compartment contains interesting political
information. 3.Whenever the conductors' views are blocked you can try to
enter other passenger's compartments. 4.When the guard leaves his office in
the baggage car, usually to make announcements for meals or stops, you can
explore the forward baggage compartment. 5.Eavesdrop as much as possible.
6.Engage the other passengers in conversation as often as possible. This
walkthrough will not enable you to listen to every conversation, but you will
hear most of them. 7.Follow the passengers when they move. This may represent
another opportunity for eavesdropping or conversation. 8.This game, although
mainly a puzzle solving adventure, involves a few action sequences where you
have to fight with an assailant. The fights involve hand-eye coordination and
fast reactions. They get increasingly difficult as the game progresses. The
game will end prematurely if you lose the fight. But with practice you will
win. Don't despair! 9.To begin with you will be unfamiliar with the layout of
the train. Here is the initial configuration:

go inside. You find Tyler's dead body. You must get rid of the body or you
will be arrested for Tyler's murder! Open the compartment window. Pick up
Tyler's body and throw it out of the window. Your jacket is bloody. If the
conductor sees you like this you will be arrested, so swap it for Tyler's
jacket hanging near the window. Get Tyler's case down from the rack and open
it. Read Cath's telegram to Tyler. Take the Russian scroll. Try to read it.

hearing a fairly loud ticking. Remember how Alexei had noted down the time of
10:40 p.m. on his train timetable?
Track down the sound of the clock to the Guard's forward station panel. Open
the panel and find the bomb. Move the bomb once only. Use a cigarette on the
