I’m stuck in need a little help - day 5 and its HOGs is seriously getting on my nerves -

In Sessen I have to get the 7 symbols pieces to open the door, I what have them all except the one at the bottom of the well, I have a rope but probably need another object to combine. Any pointers?

Look at the entrance to the Sense for a hook, beside a lamp, right beside where you have to pass the card to enter.

Niclas, I’ll try to help you as much as I can. Do this:
At the bottom, you have the choice to change the colors of the column. First, do just the left most colors for each row. Change the color, click the up arrow. See if the combination lights up green on any row at the right. Of course, you have to change the color for the right to, but that doesn’t matter now. Once you find out which color of the left column lights up green on each row on the right, note down the sequence. For example, first row: yellow, second row: red: third: green, etc. Now, work with the right sequence of the colors on the left column. Eventually, you will find out the exact color of each row (i.e. first row: yellow/red, second row: red/yellow, and there you go). It will just be a matter to arrange them in the right order by pressing just the up/down arrows. I hope this can help. Otherwise, if you want, I can give you the right sequence of colors to each row.

Stuck again in day 5 , now in the the part where you have to avoid the monks that are wondering around

Maybe I shouldn’t have started in gamer mode, getting a lot of frustration. Probably best just to stop playing for a while

I complained about this a few pages back and I still hate this kind of thing in adventure games. This one’s not just in gamer mode either, and made me stop playing for a couple of hours as well.. Your goal there is to walk around undetected and look at the various signs and pick up 7 letters that will let you into Mason’s cell. Two of the signs are inside the area where the two monks/guards are resting. I failed to see a pattern in their walks (because I’m impatient and got motion sickness from all the running and sneaking around), but somehow I finally managed to get in there when they were both out on their round, using the left entrance. When you’ve done that (assuming you’ve now got the all 7 letters), quickly proceed to Mason’s cell and use the letters on the sign and spell “Supreme” to open it.

One thing I found that helps when sneaking around is to use the storage room, headmaster’s room, or the entrance where you came in. Even if you open the doors from the inside of the rooms, the guards don’t see you, so it’s a good place to keep watch. You also only seem to be visible to them if you’re in the light, be it the sweeping security lights or their flashlights.

That part could be frustrating. But after a while I found out that you can pass easily the monks on doing this: Try to catch all “letters” in the corridors with a certance distance (you do not need to be very close to catch the letters). Then, go to the left most alcove and stand at the corner, waiting to the monk to leave the place. He will not spot you as long as you stand at the corner, looking to him and looking to the monk that is walking around. You have to time the exact moment that the monk that is walking around is coming to you and the monk sitting in the alcove decides to leave his place. Then, quikly capture the two other letters and leave. You did it.It is not that hard.

@UruBoo

Once again, super thanks for trying to help out. I feel really stupid, I have been doing all the time exactly what you describe above, but is does not work. I’m starting to think that there is some kind of bug.

I try to change color first in the left side color field of the column. And then when they are aligned I will change the colors in the right field. (OR AT LEAST TRY TO DO THIS) However the PROBLEM is when I change color by going up and down using the arrows, the colors are changing ALL OVER the columns, which makes it hard to get the correct sequence of colors. The color combination that you pick, does not really “stick”, and when trying to change colors for another row, the above or below color combination (that I have picked) will be ruined. I can’t really explain by writing, really hard to describe in words what I am experiencing .

Ok Niclas, try this: Pressing just the left arrow, change the first color on the leftmost color to yellow and press the up arrow. Now, change the color to red. (Always just pressing the left arrow to change the color). Press up arrow. Next, to green. Press up arrow. Next two to red, pressing up arrow. The last one will be yellow. Now you have all the right sequence for the leftmost color column. Now, go for the rightmost color: (pressing the right arrow) red, press down arrow. Yellow, press down arrow, red, yellow, green and red. After that you just have to sincronize the left and right color/column by pressing the up and down arrows. Hope that this finally helps you out. The complete sequence of colors should be, from top to bottom: yellow/red, red/yellow, green/red, red/yellow, red/green and yellow/red.
If, for any reason, the colors on the column you change after you press the up or down arrow changes, then you have a bug.

Thanks Uroboo and Spock, I got it. I hope the x numbet of hidden objects puzzles stop showing up.

I think my game bugged in Day 5…

I’m doing the Steath section with the monks. I got all the letters, and for the longest time I couldn’t interact with Borough’s room. The two security cameras kept catching me if I got to close. Eventually I got caught but triggered the door lock panel to open up, so next time I managed to place the letters and unlock the door.

But now I can’t walk through the door, without being caught by the cameras (not the Monk, he’s not around)

What is the deal? Bug? Or did I miss something? I can’t get into the Headmaster’s room, I’ve not found a key for it. Nor the cabinet in the storage room.

This is seriously irritating.

Also got stuck there You have to turn off the cameras in the headmaster room, search the storage room carefully
