Returning the Chalice

More of the plot is clarified in Nicole's apartment. You next task is to bring the chalice back to the contessa. Go to Spain. After speaking with the gardener, go into the contessa's living room to return the chalice. Speak about all topics and then explore the grounds. You can pick up two items: the mirror from the downstairs closet and the bible from the mausoleum. Speak to the gardener about all topics again to open up a new lead, then return to the contessa. Speak to her about the chess pieces and all new conversation paths. Next, show her the bible, which she and George will use to identify the chapter and verse references from the tomb. Another lead will send you back to the gardener. Ask him about the well. He will tell you its general location but ask him to think more about it. Return to the mausoleum and examine the large yellow candle hanging from the ceiling. You will need to light it. First pick up the pole beneath the window and then use the window. Place the grease-painted tissue on the pole and then use the combination on one of the candles on the nearby table. Now, light the ceiling candle to watch a mysterious stone key appear. Return to Lopez (the gardener) and ask him about it. Then ask him about the well again to discover that you need to find a tree branch for dowsing. Follow the water hose to the side of the house and the open window. Pick a branch from the tree nearby. When you show the branch to Lopez, a lengthy set of cut scenes begins, eventually landing George at the bottom of a hidden well.

 

In the Well

To the right is the lion's head statue. Examine it once to loosen its tooth. If you operate it normally again, the stone will fall upon you. Try operating it with the right mouse button rather than the left, and George will dive clear of it in time. Try to operate the panel behind the statue to find that it is indecipherable. Take the mirror (from Lopez's work closet) and drag it onto the lit portion of the well wall. George will reflect light on the right wall to reveal a lock. Now you can use the stone key from the mausoleum on the door. Go in to see the sequence resolved and George back in Nicole's apartment. Go to Scotland.

On the Train

In the train car, speak to Nicole about the two of you, and then discuss all topics with the masculine-sounding lady in the opposite bench. Try to leave the compartment, and the mysteriously familiar conductor will show up. Once he is gone, you can leave as well. Go the left and into the next compartment to find and speak with a drunken man. Go back to the hall and continue left into the next train car. As you try the last door on the left, the assassin comes out for a smoke. Head back to the previous compartment without speaking or trying to pass the hood. Go in and speak again with the drunk. Return to your own compartment, only to find the old lady and Nicole missing. Go back to the drunk next door and discuss Nicole. He seems willing to help. Now try the window and go out to the train roof. Save now! Go right to the next car and go down the ladder in the middle of the car in order to then use the door. To survive this scene, ignore the fire extinguisher and ax. They are distractions. As soon as control returns to your cursor, use the emergency brake located to the upper left of the door that you entered . After the scene, speak with the dying assassin and try to leave the compartment. After the sequence with Nicole, exit through the left door of the train.

At the Castle

Enter the church. Examine the small pile of rubble in the middle of the room repeatedly until George no longer finds anything. At this point you should have the cog, coin, plastic pen top, and pipe. Examine the demon statue and the gears near the window. Try using the pen top on the demon and then the pipe. Finally, use the cog on the demon. Go to the contraption and use the handle to spin the machine and break off the handle. Now use that same area of the machine again to get the second cog, which then goes into the demon. Now use the handle on the demon to open the large panel. Go in. Note the old gunpowder on the floor. Speak to Nicole. Try to use the torch at the far end of the hall. After Nicole stops you, try to use the door. Once you go in, a very lengthy cut scene ensues. Control returns to you only when you run back into the gunpowder room. To survive assassination here, you must use the torch next to George. This will bring you to the final cut scenes and the game's end.
