GK1 - Mummies

DustyShinigami · 06-25-2007, 04:53 AM

Could someone give me some advice on how to avoid those bloody mummies in Gabriel Knight 1? As soon as i've placed that rod into the correct hole i go north and get to the third room, with that mummy blocking the doorway, but i can never seem to get around it. I've managed to get past the first few by merely brushing past them but this particular one gets me even when there's plenty of space between us.

I've been swearing like mad at this section,

and it's soured my experience a tad. I really wish these sorts of puzzles weren't in adventure games!

I remember being stuck here for quite some time as well.
If I remember correctly...

Spoiler:
In one room where there are loads of zombies (i.e. the room where you can't just brush past them) you need to click on a vine hanging from the ceiling and use it to swing around and so disable the zombies

The above hint is for the room with multiple mummies. If it's just a single mummy you want to get past then.

Spoiler:
Click on the lower middle of the right wall then on the doorway. If I remember rightly this makes the mummy get hung up on a pillar of some sort allowing you to slip past.

Aha, that's done it! Thanks for the tip stepurhan.

I loved that section of the game. Just the relative slow pace of the first couple acts of the game, and then once the game has tricked you into believing that there'll be no life or death situations, suddenly you're attacked by the snake in the Voodoo museum, then thrown into an ancient lair with mummies acttacking you.

Absolutely love GK1.
