Just did a little bit on the game today. I knew I was almost finished with Egypt (and found out that Vienna is the next location), so I decided to do that. I had this one major puzzle that was supposed to get to the mysterious document hidden in the evil tomb.
The gold-weighing puzzle was just math. Then there was a puzzle to figure out which of the many little pyramids I'd picked up along the way were the correct ones. That wasn't tough once you played with the puzzle screen for a bit. Then we had to figure out in what order to place the pyramids (I'd already done the blood puzzle). After that the secret door opened, but I realized that there was more to do in the room, and figured out how to deal with the ancient boat on the far end of the tomb.
Once we brave the dark doorway, we get a nice cutscene with a hungry crocodile:
This guy must really be hungry after millennia in this tomb!
After that I still wasn't done. I got by the croc, but then faced a black mist that Ven Helsing thought was a supernatural force stopping him. I tried every item in my inventory with no luck. OK, the WT. Turned out I need to modify an item before I could use it. I admit, there was a very obscure clue in the documentation, but I don't feel badly that I didn't suss it out.
From there I only had to talk to a couple more folks and I was automatically transported to Vienna. Yay! I had to go through the initial dialogue in the first scene there before I could save, but save I did, and put the game on the shelf until tomorrow.
I gotta say, this is a good game!
