Posted by: Call me Matt
Alone in the Dark: the New Nightmare. Walkthrough. ======== WEAPONS: ======== Carnby's revolver: I'm pretty sure the reasoning behind this weapon is ballistically unsound. Furthermore, I consider it a crime against my people that Carnby's revolver is no more powerful than Aline's. It does fire remarkably quickly, and you find a lot of ammunition for it in the manor, but it's still only a handgun. Don't rely on it. Aline's revolver: A .38 that Lily Morton apparently thought would be in some way helpful, Aline is saddled with this thing because someone on the development team hates her. There's a period of time where you'll be running about with nothing but the revolver, which will probably be empty, to defend yourself with. This period is referred to in Finnish legend as the Time of Suck. You'll soon get the opportunity to upgrade to the shotgun, thankfully. Triple-barreled shotgun: It's not as good as it sounds, but really, is that possible? Three shells' worth of Morton's custom magnesium ammo packs about as much of a relative kick as one shotgun shell does in any other horror game you can think of; it takes at least six shells to drop even the weak hellhounds, and most creatures will take nine. It doesn't hit an area, either. Still, a shotgun's a shotgun, and shotguns in horror games are your basic tools of survival: lots of ammo, a decent kick, and you can't beat the price. Unless the custom shells are considerably less powerful than standard ammunition, firing all three barrels of this shotgun at once should break both the stock of the gun and the wrists of the person holding it. This has been another --WHAM--Useless Fact. Grenade launcher: This is more useful for Aline than for Carnby, as Carnby, in his version of events, forgot to include the part where he finds more ammunition for the damn thing. This is, when you get right down to it, another rocket launcher, right down to its power and relative range. This is not a bad thing. It is a bosskiller, typically, although with a little luck, Aline will have enough ammo left over to take out the occasional troublesome zombie or plant. Grenades are quite plentiful, and it holds more ammunition than the rocket launcher, so all in all, this is a good time. Rocket launcher: More of a modified flare gun, really, but it's still explosive, and that's all I need. The rocket launcher is somewhat inferior to the grenade launcher by dint of a lower ammunition capacity and rate of fire, but for Carnby, it's the only game in town. Like the grenade launcher, you're wasting this unless you're firing it at a boss. Plasma cannon: No, it's not. This thing is a flamethrower. It doesn't need a poncy name, but yet I find myself noting that it has one. You'll need to spend some time getting a feel for the plasma cannon's range before you use it in combat, but once you do, you'll find it quite useful in Carnby's scenario. Until you get the lightning gun, you will find no better weapon to use against zombies and scorpions. The cannon works on gas cartridges, each one of which is good for maybe two minutes of continuous fire. Carnby can find a couple of extra cartridges lying around, but Aline, sadly, can't. That doesn't mean it's useless for Aline, but by the time she starts fighting the creatures that are most vulnerable to plasma, she's already found the lightning gun and thus made the plasma cannon somewhat obsolete. Lightning gun: Proof positive that Jeremy Morton was the greatest man of the twentieth century, the lightning gun is obviously a linear ancestor of Fear Effect 2's Arc Taser. It works upon similar principles; when an opponent gets close enough, hold down the fire button to hit both it and any nearby friends with a bolt of electricity. The lightning gun is notable for its comparative punch--it can kill hellhounds and plants in roughly a second each--and its ease of use. It's the only weapon in the game that you can fire as you're readying it, making it the game's fast draw champion. It's also the only weapon in the game which can hit more than one target at a time (that is, without your putting some serious English on the shot, a la the grenade launcher). Its only real drawback is its short field of effect, as the lightning arc won't connect unless you're standing about a scale foot or so from your target. Once you've found the lightning gun, use it exclusively until the end of the game. Photoelectric Pulsar: Oh, it's cute and possibly marketable (I'm an American; gun fetishry is part and parcel of my culture), but this thing's worthless. It takes a fairly long time to charge up, and when it does, it fires a single burst of light. Yes, that burst will horribly maim anything it hits, but you're not likely to hit. Don't use the Pulsar. ========= MONSTERS: ========= Dogs: Undead versions of the Rottweilers from the beginning of Carnby's game, the dogs are, initially, weak siblings to the more powerful hellhound. As you progress, however, their durability increases. They frequently gate into an area, and their speed is a potential problem when they do; by the time you've registered the gate's existence, the newly arrived dog has already fastened onto your arm. Dogs don't do a lot of damage, though, and if you can shoot them once, they'll kick over and lie there long enough for you to either finish them off or escape. Hellhounds: Strange, chitinous things that actually quite resemble insects, hellhounds are very common. They're deadly in close quarters, but if you catch one at range, it's a bad memory after two shotgun blasts or seven to ten shots from the revolver. They do tend to travel in pairs, so you'll need to watch your ammunition level as you're fighting them. They're also sort of stupid, so you can fake them out and run past with relative ease. Zombies: What? They're zombies. Slow, stupid, moaning pink things wearing khakis. The sine qua non of survival horror. They frequently show up to block narrow hallways, and they are remarkably durable (three shotgun blasts will kill one of them), but they're more like bleeding barricades than any sort of actual monster. The plasma cannon, once you get it, carves through zombies with ease and grace. Beetles: Small, but quick, and traveling in swarms, beetles will spring crude ambushes on you every so often while you're in the manor. They're the only valid reason to use the revolver, as a single shot from it will kill a beetle. Anything else is like swatting flies with a pipe bomb. Plants: These little bastards. Plants are ambulatory greenery, and they almost always show up in groups of two or more. They're repelled by your flashlight's beam (although they're smart enough to try and wriggle away from the beam if they can, and you can only repel one of them at a time), and will be slain outright if you turn on the lights in the room they're in. On the bad side, they've got terrifying range and take way too much ammunition to kill with normal weapons; it takes six good hits with the shotgun, or two grenades, to take out a single plant. You should run away from plants most of the time, but once you get the lightning gun, all bets are off. Lightning + plants = smoked kelp. Small Lizards: Little "peep"ing things like Dino Crisis' compys, the lizards are an annoyance at best. They'll show up in swarms once you're outside the manor, on Disc 2, and will valiantly attempt to strip all the flesh off of your ankles. Use up revolver ammunition on them if you must, but they really aren't worth fighting. They'd be worth punt-kicking over the nearest cliff, were that an option, but they aren't worth a bullet. Scorpions: These haunt the back roads of Shadow Island, waiting for Carnby. By the time you run into them, you'll have found the plasma cannon, which is the best weapon against them. About two seconds' worth of plasma fire will kill a scorpion. In wide-open areas, such as in front of the chapel, you can also safely run around them. Crocodiles: There are only three of these in the entire game, but they're worth mentioning just the same. Arguably among the least threatening monsters you'll face, their only real asset is the ability to sneak up on you underwater. However, as they only show up in watery areas, the ripples in the water will give them away. Once you see the ripples, ready the shotgun or revolver and get ready to shoot them as they spring up behind you. ============ WALKTHROUGH: ============ Edward and Aline's games only slightly coexist. There are hints, here and there, that they're going through the same things simultaneously, but as a general rule, your main character is the definite focus of the scenario you're playing. In Aline's game, she's the woefully underestimated protagonist who no one takes seriously (which proves to be more than one person's downfall); in Carnby's scenario, she's basically Rebecca Chambers, a damsel in distress who occasionally pays you back with behind the scenes work. It's an interesting dichotomy, and I am a frequent guest in that house. In any event, I'll begin the walkthrough with Carnby's scenario, as I recommend that most players should start with Carnby. If you're looking for Aline's game, you can scroll down a bit; I'll be with you shortly. ========================== EDWARD CARNBY: WALKTHROUGH ========================== You'll start off on a forest path. Going southwest will bring you to a locked door, the combination to which you won't find until much, much later. Instead, opt to go northeast. Aline will radio you, and introduce you to your first objective: reach the manor. Continue down this path until you reach a small cabin by the side of the road. Carnby, being a trained detective, will note the presence of blood. Enter to receive the traditional Marvin Branagh Warning (wounded guy, check; thinks you're doomed, check; ominous warning, check). Leave, and as you walk away, you'll see and hear a couple of gunshots. Re-enter the cabin and shine your flashlight about. The gleaming thing on the floor is the first in a series of Small Bronze Keys. Grab it. Your new Key unlocks the wrought-iron door at the end of the path. Behind it, you'll see a box of bullets lying on the wall. Walk towards it, and you'll see a cutscene featuring a very unfortunate dog. (No animals were hurt in the making of this game, my entire ass.) Now, this may seem stupid, but the chained-up dogs from the cutscene are behind the gate in the corner. Go say hello. As you get to the end of the path, the dogs will break free. Don't worry, though; they'll run right past you, enabling you to get the two boxes of bullets and the first-aid kit they were hoarding. Now, go back outside and up the stairs. At their top, you'll find yourself standing on a garden terrace that's so Gothic it's dead. Any motion on your part will summon, as though by arguably predictable dark magic, the thoroughly unpleasant-looking corpse of one of the rottweilers. Plug it with three shots from your revolver. Poor little guys. Just the same, though, you'll have to fight three more of them before you reach the next set of stairs, so be careful and be quick. This next path will lead you to the front gate of the mansion, and of course, it's locked. Trying to open it will start two short FMVs and a cutscene, where Aline's voice actress sorta phones in a performance about how scared Aline is. Way to go, lady. You can't go through the front gate, so you'll have to go through the other door you see on your map, at the other end of the front walk. Before you do that, you will, of course, encounter adversity. The end of the walk is occupied by the first of many hellhounds you'll encounter over the course of the game. It takes about ten shots from the revolver to drop a hellhound, so you don't really want to mess with the little bastards right now. Instead, opt to go straight through the wrought-iron gate in the foreground. This encounter illuminates something important about the game. The monsters in AitD4 will sometimes gate in without preamble, so you need to be constantly on your guard. This isn't Resident Evil, where you should be carefully watching unattended windows at all times. Past the gate, follow the short path to the gadget that looks like an ornamental shield. It is, in fact, a water valve. Turn it to open up your next path, but be ready to outrun a hellhound on your way down the stairs. Make your way down the sewer tunnel, into the large room at its end. Once you arrive there, a large crocodilian creature will spring up from the water and attack. It's predictable, but you can't simply outrun it; if you try, it'll pounce on you at the next doorway and Edward will resurface in the room's center. Instead, wait for it with your revolver readied. It'll always spring up right behind you. Swing around and shoot it once. It'll fall down, and renew the cycle a few seconds later by springing up right behind you again. Repeat this ballistic waltz six times, and the creature will stop bothering you. You do, of course, want to climb the ladder at this passage's end. At its top, in a wrecked access room, you'll find a Charm of Saving on a ledge by a metal door. That door, in turn, leads into the treasure trove that is the manor's basement. On one side, you'll find a box of bullets, a box of cartridges, a first-aid kit, and your best friend for the next couple of hours, the shotgun; on the other, you'll find two locked doors and a casket. Opening the casket--which is really a profoundly stupid thing to do, don't you think?--will get you a good scare and a Gilded Key. Take everything here. (There is a ladder leading to a locked trap door in the basement. Don't worry about it for now. Much later on, Aline will automatically open it for you.) The Gilded Key will unlock the door closest to the casket. Enter, and go up the narrow staircase. You'll walk through a mirror, and find yourself in the front hall of the Mortons' manor. Aline will radio Carnby, and once she's done, the lights will go out and a hellhound will arrive Deal with it in your chosen manner (hint: bullets). If you'd like to turn the lights back on, the switch is on the wall behind the stairs. Take note of the bust near the mirror, and furthermore, note the skid mark on the floor by it. The bust has a code gadget on it, but Carnby doesn't know the code... yet. ========================================================== PUZZLE: Howard Morton's Bust (huh?) As a general rule, things like this need to get shoved, and the bust is no exception (no snickering, please, we should all be adults here). Push it along the floor, and the reflection in the mirror will tell you the bust's password: HM. Input it into the bust (I said no snickering!). This triggers a short scene of a painting, somewhere else, making a "click" sound. The painting in question is on the balcony overlooking the front hall. You can reach it using the stairs by the mirror. ========================================================== Aline will radio you as you approach the painting you just "unlocked." First, inspect the painting and activate the mechanism to get the Small Rusty Key, then push the chest of drawers out of the way. A hellhound will attempt to stop you, but I think your shotgun has something to contribute to that conversation. Go inside for a talk with Aline. When she's gone, inspect the room. The roll-top desk in the corner has an Acrobat Statue and a Dictaphone in the drawer, and Alan Morton's Diary--a Document of some importance--is on the nightstand next to the bed. There's only one new door in this room, and there's nothing of any real value behind it. You can follow the passage to its end to collect a Charm of Saving and peek into a room you'll visit much later, but it's not mandatory. In any event, go back to the first floor; the only unlocked door in the front hall is behind the stairs. I'll be referring to this hallway as "Edenshaw's hallway," as here is where you'll make your first wary acquaintance with the man, and because this hallway is a major landmark in Carnby's game. In this encounter, Edenshaw will get all mysterious and Indian on your ass, and give you a Charm of Saving as he leaves. You'll be looking east when the cutscene's over. Walk that way, and you can turn on the light switch en route. The first two doors you see are both locked; one leads to the library, and the other leads to a dangerous entry hall to the library. In either event, you won't be able to open these doors for a while, so don't worry about them. Go through the door at the east end of Edenshaw's hallway. The small sitting room beyond that door is one of the few totally dark rooms in the manor. The big pink things in here are zombies, and in these close quarters, they're nigh-impossible to dodge. (Apparently, these zombies know their limitations intimately. They'll rarely show up in any location where there's space to fake them out and run past.) These particular zombies are guarding two important rooms to the north and south. The northern door is locked, so proceed south. This is Richard Morton's study, and is thus important. Turn the lights on, and take a Crowbar from the stack of crates in the corner. The desk holds Richard Morton's Will and Testament, which is a valuable clue later. Obed Morton's Notes are on a nearby shelf, and the Book on the Abkanis Indians is hidden on the shelves next to the desk. A Flask is on a desk near the shelves, but taking it will turn out the lights and trigger a gate ambush by a couple of hellhounds. Ignore the hellhounds and keep running around the bookcase, down and away from where you found the Flask. A door next to a cupboard leads to the front hall. Reenter the study, and the hellhounds will be gone. This frees you up to get a first-aid kit from the cupboard, and to peruse the issue of Science (featuring the lean and sexy Mr. October, Obed Morton!) on a nearby table. Use the Flask on the amphora full of water to fill it. (Note that the painting above the issue of Science is something else entirely if the room's dark. I think that's the creepiest bit yet.) The zombies outside the office have respawned. It may be safer and faster to use Edenshaw's hallway again. This time, go west, and through the first door you see. (If you're running low on ammo, there's a box of cartridges further down the hall, on a bureau.) The hallway past this new door is somewhat run-down, and it, too, is packed to the rafters with the undead. You can easily run straight past the first one as he's standing up, and into the first door. In here, you'll notice something that looks like a shattered aquarium. It's your next "puzzle." ========================================================== PUZZLE: Diorama Trick (The phrase "diorama trick" is TM and (C) 1998 Alfred Ashford, all rights reserved.) The Photograph on the dresser across the room offers a clue as to what can be done here; you need to complete the diorama. Fortunately, you have a filled Flask with which to do it. Unfortunately, beetles will drop on you as you inspect the aquarium, and again as you take the Wolf Mask in the corner. A single shot from the revolver will do for either of them. Use the Flask on the diorama to trigger another painting mechanism on the front balcony. ========================================================== In the run-down hallway, you can slay the zombies and proceed towards a dead end. In the clutter here, you can find a first-aid kit on top of a dresser, and a box of cartridges hidden in the clutter. Invest in this if you like, then go see what you just uncovered in the front hall. Careful, though--you just did something right, so naturally, the halls' monster population is going to explode. Too bad for them. On the balcony, you'll find a Gilded Key behind the painting of the explorer. Examine the Gilded Key. It says "GND F EAST," so you need to go find a room on the east side of the first floor that's locked. Fortunately, you know of just such a thing. Go back through the office, from the front hall, and into the dark room beyond it. The Gilded Key will unlock the northern door, which leads to the Mortons' den. As you walk in, break to Carnby's left as fast as you can; a hellhound is waiting in ambush. Shoot it down, if only so you don't have to run around the room like a goof while you solve the next puzzle. There's a Small Gilded Key on the table in the center of this room. Take it, then poke around a little. The owl statue in the corner seems important. Turn off the lights to see just how important it can get. Use the Wolf Mask on the owl statue to get the Steel Key. Now, head back out to Edenshaw's hallway. Remember the bureau where you found some shotgun cartridges? Go through the door next to it. You'll find yourself on a dark spiral staircase. At its top is the door to the attic, where all good New Englanders store their grenade launchers. As the Mortons are no exception, you'll want to relieve them of theirs. Aline will radio you now. She'll mention a set of hollow floorboards. They aren't right here in this room, though she makes it sound like they are. Use the Small Rusty Key to unlock the door on the other end of the attic, and enter a storeroom. This storeroom is where you'll first encounter the biggest pains in the ass in the game: the plants. Grab the ammunition from the foreground, and watch for the blue gleam on a desk in the corner. That gleam is the Lighter. With those safely in pocket, get out of here. (Anthony Locascio writes in to note that there's a kerosene lamp in this room, to your right upon your initial entry. I never saw it, but if you do, you could probably use the Lighter on it to kill off the plants.) In this next room, the first door you'll see is sealed up. Through the narrow passage to Carnby's right, upon first entering, you'll find the "trap door" Aline mentioned. You'll know you're there by the sound of the floorboards under Carnby's feet, and when the camera angle switches to an overhead perspective. Use the Crowbar here to receive a Small Key and a Small Gilded Key. There's only one other door in here that you can open. Do so, and you'll find yourself in a beetle-infested storeroom, complete with what would appear to be the Tell-Tale Heart lying on the floor. A box of bullets and a box of cartridges are in storage; liberate them, and go trigger the beetles' crude ambush. What this means, really, is that you should run really fast around the corner, and as they drop, whirl around and ventilate them with the revolver. There's a candle on the crate in here. Light it, and the flame will give you another hint. The boards next to the crate are loose, so use the Crowbar to make yourself a new door. Onward! On the other side of your improvised entrance, you'll be forced to confront another pair of plants. There's a light switch in this hallway which will deal with them nicely; when you reach the opposite end of the hallway (the camera angle where you can see two first-aid kits next to a door in the foreground), run to Carnby's left, into the background. The light switch is next to that door. Dodge the plants, or herd them out of your way with the flashlight, and hit the switch to--ahem--do some weeding. From here, you've got two possible exits: -- the door in the foreground, with the first-aid kits, leads into the sickbed and eventual tomb of Lucy Morton. Lucy's seen better days (...d'oh!), but her rambling monologue provides useful plot information. Otherwise, she's about as useful as a rubber crutch. She doesn't even have the common courtesy to have easily stolen medical supplies lying around. Once you're done chatting with Lucy, all you can do is turn around and leave. -- the door in the background, next to the light switch, can be unlocked with one of your Small Gilded Keys. Past it is another spiral staircase, thus perpetuating the motif that Shadow Island is swirling down the drain. Naturally, you'll want to take the stairs if you want to continue the game. On the staircase, leave via the first door you see. This leads to a dark hallway on the second floor, where Aline will radio you with some useful information. When she's done, head to the nearest door; a hellhound will gate in as you do so. Avoid or kill it as you wish, then head inside. You'll find yourself in another study. A first-aid kit is on a cabinet near the door, next to the smashed gun rack. Alan Morton's Journal is sitting on top of the desk at the other end of the room, and to its left, you'll find a locked drawer. Your Small Key unlocks it. Inside, you'll find a Large Ornate Key and half of a Photograph. Inspecting the Ornate Key reveals that it's a key to the library, which you've probably wanted to get into for quite some time. No worries there; it's one of the locked doors on the east end of Edenshaw's hallway. Before you go, however, take a bit of a field trip. Hellhounds are all over the hallway outside the study. It's worth the risk, as there are two important rooms in this hall that you've yet to explore. One is to Carnby's left, all the way at the end of the hall, near a light switch. Now, the light switch would be enough to warrant the trip by itself, but the more important stop is through the nearby door. In this guest bedroom, you'll note the presence of shiny things on the nightstand next to the bed, as well as a Charm of Saving on a dresser. Try to get the shiny things, and, well, a tentacle demon will express its displeasure. Fortunately, it's chosen to pop up underneath an oil lamp--no one ever accused hellbeasts of being real smart, after all--which means you can set the creature on fire with a single shotgun blast. When it's gone, grab the rocket launcher and three boxes of shotgun cartridges off of the nightstand--w00t!--and go back the way you came. Your next stop is all the way at the end of the second-floor hallway. The hall terminates in a locked bedroom door, which your Steel Key will open. As you enter, you'll notice a light switch on the wall; turn it on to kill a plant. You'll find the other half of the Photograph on a desk, accompanied by a Hand-Written Letter from TV funnyman Judas de Certo. (Yeah, I'd be sure to accept bargains from a guy named Judas. I'd also buy real estate from a guy named Barnum.) Obed Morton's Diary is on the nightstand next to the bed, and the small alcove next to the door holds a Charm of Saving, a box of cartridges, and a Large Ornate Key. You've exhausted the resources of the rest of the manor, save for two of the portraits in the front hall, which you'll unlock shortly. The only place left is the library. There are two ways into the library, one of which is markedly safer than the other. The first is to go back into the spiral staircase and take it to the ground floor. This will let you into a very small hallway, haunted by two zombies. Exterminate them, and use a Large Ornate Key to unlock the set of double doors. The alternative is to return to Edenshaw's hallway, probably leaving the second floor via the front hall balcony (getting either Ornate Key, as far as I can tell, will trigger a hellhound ambush in the front hall, so be careful). Of the two locked doors huddled together in a corner of the hall, as mentioned above, your Large Ornate Key will unlock the one on the left. (Incidentally, I've noticed over the course of this walkthrough that this is leaving you with an unused key. This isn't a big deal. The unused Small Gilded Key will unlock the door at the top of the dark stairs, accessible from Edenshaw's hallway, and drop you off on the second floor. It's more an issue of convenience than necessity.) Once inside the library, Carnby will radio Aline for the express purpose of flirting with her. Oh, those crazy kids. Once he's done, consult the books stacked on the table for Jeremy Morton's Diary (which hints at the development of the Photoelectric Pulsar, and explains why you're currently carrying enough magnesium to light up Detroit), and an open book on a nearby podium is am exhaustive, if phallocentric, history of the Morton family. The history is an important clue, so be sure to read it to the end. On the second floor of the library, you'll note the presence of a box of rockets and a small console. ========================================================== PUZZLE: Library Console #1 The console requires a password, and you've already gotten the clues you need to solve it. Doublecheck Alan Morton's Diary if you like, and be sure to Combine and Examine the Halves of the Photograph. You'll wind up with an easy bit of arithmetic which will give you this console's password. For the benefit of those of you, such as alert reader Steve Medlock, who have lousy TVs or bad eyesight, the console password is 3926. Enter it into the console to open a secret door directly behind you. ========================================================== Inside, take the Telescope from on top of the chest, and note the presence of a backwards-written clue on the bookcase. That clue will become a Document, so don't worry too much about writing it down. Also, the stack of statues inside the fresco on the wall should look familiar to you; you've been carrying a similar statue for most of the game. Use the Acrobat Statue on its brethren to open a secret panel in the wall, revealing both a console and an Abkanis Statue. Unfortunately, you don't know the password to this newest console yet, so it's back outside for you. Go up the nearby stairs, to the third landing of the library. A monster will appear, but it'll go away on its own without any help from you; consider that foreshadowing. Climb up the ladder, and go along the ledge outside to the observation tower. Enter it. Inside, you'll find a mount for a telescope and a Charm of Saving. Take the latter, and use the Telescope on the former. You'll be able to observe the fort on the other side of the island through it. You can zoom in with the X button, and zoom out with the Triangle button. You should see, on the fort's right "tower," the number "1692" engraved above a window. Make a note of that, and hit Triangle twice to stop using the telescope. When you do, Carnby will see a man looking out of a window in the fort. Aline will radio you soon afterward, and then you're back on your own. Go back to the library. 1692 happens to be the password to the secret console in the secret room, and it unlocks another one of those portrait mechanisms in the front hall. That, however, leaves you with no more distractions; it's time for what I consider to be the hardest puzzle in the game. ========================================================== PUZZLE: Richard Morton's Book Puzzle Richard Morton's will contains a handy diagram, but it isn't as helpful as you'd think. It gives you a slight idea of where to look in the library, and I wound up doing a lot of legwork and book-checking anyway. There are four books that you can interact with on the shelves: 1: all the way at the end of the third landing, on the last bookshelf. 2: on the bookcase to the left of the light switch, on the first floor. 3: right next to the stairs on the first floor. 4: on the third "camera angle" of the third landing, on the left side of the screen. There's a gap between bookcases, and the book you want is on the left of it. Now here's where Richard Morton's diagram comes in handy. Between the diagram and the logo on the spines of the books, you shouldn't have any trouble figuring out what order to use them in. In case you do, on the other hand, I've thoughtfully numbered them, above, in just that order. Be sure to push each book in once, and only once. ========================================================== Sadly, though, there are forces in the universe that don't wish you to complete
