Required items:
~ Milena's necklace, given to you by Pat
The basis behind the puzzle is to rearrange the tumblers so they
represent the design on Milena's necklace (diamond, diamond,
heart, diamond, diamond). Examine the necklace in your inventory
and then click on the chest to get started.
From left to right, click the following tumblers:
~ 2, three times
~ 3, one time
~ 4, three times
~ 5, three times
Required items:
~ Piece of paper with the code written on it, located on the shelf
in the Old Chapel
The object of the puzzle is to open the safe by placing each square
in their appropriate slots. Of course, just finding the
code--74821536--isn't enough. Now we've got to decipher it.
Basically, each symbol is either identical to a number in shape or
is based on the number of lines (shown by the clock sitting on the
same shelf you found the code).
The object is to rearrange the knobs so they're in the correct
order as shown in the chart hanging in the crane room wall.
~ Move 2 to middle left
~ 6 down and above 1
~ 2 to top left
~ 6 to middle left
~ 1 to top middle
~ 3 up below 1
~ 6 to bottom right
~ 3 to middle left
~ 1 to bottom center
~ 4 down above 1
~ 3 to top right
~ 4 to middle left
~ 1 to top center
~ 4 to bottom center
~ 1 to middle left
~ 2 down above 4
~ 1 to top left
~ 2 to top center
~ 4 up below 2
~ 5 to middle left
~ 4 to bottom left
~ 5 to bottom center
Required items:
~ Cutters, located on the ground outside the crane room within the
junkyard
Since Gus doesn't feel like becoming the main course for dinner,
the object of this puzzle is to rearrange the crates in order to
get across to the boxcars.
Using the crane:
~ PC players move it by using the directional arrows. Xbox players
move it using the direction buttons (not the analog).
~ Pick up and lower crates by clicking the crane.
Move the two available crates until they form a path from the roof
of the building you're on to the two crates stacked on each other.
Go outside and jump towards the chained crates using the ones you
just moved. Cut the chains using the cutters and then go back to
the crane control panel.
Relocate the crates so they form a straight path from the roof
to the top of the boxcar. Go outside and jump across. The end.
*** BAKING COOKIES A.K.A. MAKING THE PERFECT MAN ***
Required items:
~ None
Probably the most pointless puzzle in the game.
Check out the ingredients on the table and then read the recipe in
the cookbook:
~ 1 cup of love
~ 1/2 cup of generosity
~ 2 cups of commitment
~ 1 cup of sweetness
~ 1/2 cup of integrity
~ 1 tablespoon of romance
~ 1 teaspoon of sensuality
~ 1 common sense
'In a bowl, cream together generosity, sweetness and love to give
your man a sweetheart. To give him devotion, sift together
commitment, sensuality and romance. Blend devotion to his
sweetheart. Finally, add intelligence, a mix of common sense and
integrity and beat it with the rest to make your perfect man. Give
him a form and place in the oven. Remember not to overcook.'
Put a 1/2 cup of generosity (butter), 1 cup of sweetness (brown
sugar) and 1 cup of love (milk) into the bowl. Click the button to
mix it.
Next, add 2 cups of commitment (flour), 1 teaspoon of sensuality
(cinnamon) and 1 tablespoon of romance (ginger). Mix again.
Finally, add 1 common sense (egg) and 1/2 cup of integrity
(molasses). Mix, and then click the oven button.
Required items:
~ Lock pick kit, given to you by Kubina
It wouldn't be Gustov McPherson if he wasn't breaking into
something...
The object is to move the bars up or down using the lock picks
until they click into place. If you mess up, you can exit the
puzzle and it will reset.
The top bars, from left to right, will be labeled: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6, 7, 8, and 9. The bottom bars, from left to right, will be: 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. Now click...
Required items:
~ Silver rose, located at Richard's gallery at the 6th murder
~ Silver apple, half located in the fruit bowl between the
statue, half in Mia's bedroom
~ Silver mask, located on the wall at the Red Lantern
~ Silver nail, located on the wall at the Red Lantern
~ Mia's note, located in Mia's photo album in her bedroom
Each item belongs to a statue. Read Mia's note to know
which goes where in what order:
'Let us be behind a veil, left to our secret designs. Then present
me with the object of your desire and I will show you the meaning
of temptation. Be ready, because our passion will flow like blood
that runs through your veins. And at the end, you will be ready to
welcome the blissful pain that will open to you a new world.'
~ Use the silver mask on the Queen of Secrets
~ Use the silver apple on Lady Temptation
~ Use the silver rose on the Baroness of Blood
~ Use the silver nail on the Mistress of Pain
Required items:
~ Tile puzzle piece, located on the mantel in the hidden chamber
below the Red Lantern
I use to love these when I was a kid. The object is to rearrange
the tiles so that the painting looks like the one above the
fireplace where you found the extra tile.
There are nine spots in all. For the sake of explaining the
puzzle, they'll be labeled as follows:
Look at the chart on the wall. The idea is to fill the water tank
with four units of water to turn the power on.
~ Click the bucket and it will automatically go under the tank
~ Click the red faucet at the top of the pipe to fill the tank
with five units of water
~ Click the red faucet under the tank to fill the bucket with
three units, leaving two in the tank
~ Click the drain in from of the sink to empty the bucket
~ Click the faucet under the tank to empty the tank and put two
units into the bucket
~ Click the red faucet on the pipe to fill the tank again
~ Click the red faucet at the bottom of the tank to drain one
until into the bucket
~ Press the red button
Required items:
~ Six metallic rings, located in the following places: park, burnt
neighborhood, junkyard, old lavatory, sewers
~ Turn Ring 1 left once, place it in the top middle slot
~ Turn Ring 2 right three times, place it in the bottom left slot
~ Turn Ring 3 left five times, place it in the top left slot
~ Turn Ring 4 right five times, place it in the top right slot
~ Turn Ring 5 right three times, place it in the bottom right slot
~ Turn Ring 6 right once, place it in the bottom middle slot
The idea is to slide the squares so that (all of) the key ends up
on the first row so you can slide it into the slot and unlock the
door.
The top rods, from left to right, will be 1, 2, 3. The right,
from top to bottom, will be 4, 5, 6. The bottom, right to left,
will be 7, 8, 9. The left, bottom to top, will be 10, 11 12.
