* 100 % Completion can be achieved if you follow everything within this guide. * Morphing Objects are found through out the game. As you are exploring, you may notice an item appear out of nowhere or an object change from one item to another. These are called morphing objects and you must collect 50 of them to earn an achievement. See Morphing Objects Guide in the Appendix below for more information. * There is no time limit like in previous games. * If you see sparkling anywhere in the game, this is an area that needs to be explored further. Multiple sparkling indicates an H. O . G . (hidden object game). * If you get stuck or can't seem to go any further, go back and search every room. Look for more sparkles. Sometimes completing something in one area opens up more stuff in other areas. * If you cannot solve a particular puzzle you may bypass it by clicking on skip puzzle over the Crime Computer. This will complete the puzzle for you, but you cannot come back to it later. Note: The only exception to this rule is the Celtic Ruins Puzzle, you must complete this on your own, but with this guide, it will be no problem. Note: Skipping puzzle will prevent you from getting the "Look Ma, No Hands" achievement, which in turn will mean not getting 100% completion. * If you are in a H. O . G . And cannot find a particular item, click on your hint above the Crime Computer and it will circle the area the item can be found in. Once you do this, you will have to wait for some time to pass before using it again. Note: Using hint will prevent you from getting the "Eagle Eye" achievement, which in turn will mean not getting 100% completion. * Penalties are assessed if you click on several wrongs items in a row. The screen will freeze and you won't be able to continue for a few moments. You should avoid this if you are trying to get 100% complete. Note: Freezing will prevent you from getting the "Perfect Intuition" achievement, which in turn will mean not getting 100% completion. * Not everything that can be clicked on will be required to complete the game. There are several things in the game that are there for fun or to carry the story-line along. However some things will be added to the Case File automatically if you miss getting the clue, but complete that particular job anyway. * Video Cassette Tapes (referred to as tapes from here on) can be found throughout the game. These can be reviewed on your Crime Computer. I recommend doing this in between stages of the game. This will keep your inventory to a minimum. =========================================== III. Starting the Game =========================================== Once you start the game, you will be in your "Case File. " This is where all of your clues will be collected and stored for future reference. Read what is written on the page and refer back to it often.

There are arrows on either side of the page number that can be used to turn the pages. Once you have read it, click close. =========================================== 1.

Go to the open car door and into the vehicle. There are several things that you can click on in the car, but only a few are important. First, click on the video camera. This will move you to a short cut scene. Your Crime Computer in this MCF game consists of video cassette tapes. Through out your time in the game, you will come across these tapes, pick them up and they will go into your inventory. Go to the Crime Computer and click on the tape in the inventory and it will play for you. This process is important and you will see why later in the game, so make sure you are observant and pick them up when you can. Next you will see the note from the video laying on the seat. Click on it to add it to your inventory. Finally, note the glove box, there is a combination lock on it.

Celtic Ruins =========================================== To gain access to the Celtic Ruins, you must solvve a puzzle. This is the only puzzle that you cannot use the hint for. To solve the puzzle, you need to have collect all or most of the video tapes scattered through out the game. If you have been following this guide, you have collected them all. If you have not been following this guide, check appendix for listing of where to find them all. Click on the crime computer and make sure you have placed all of the video tapes from your inventory into the Crime Computer. If you look at the display screen of all video screen shots, you will see a relic in each of the four columns. The placement of the Runic Artifact in the Crime Computer is the placement it needs to be in to solve the puzzle. Simply use the spacers provided to elevate the artifact where it is needed to be placed. It is different every time you play the game so it is important to collect the videos as you see them. You don't need to have all of them (unless you want them for achievement purposes) to solve the puzzle, process of elimination will work just fine. Head over to the Celtic Ruins. Collect the tape on the bottom right hand side of the screen. Now if you click on the piece of stone that is exposed, you will get a puzzle. This is the entrance to the Celtic Ruins. You cannot skip this puzzle. It must be completed. Don't worry though, if you have followed this guide and collected all of the tapes, it will be easy. Open your Crime Computer. Remember that each of the relics you have collected is represented by different shapes. There is a square, circle, and two triangles. On the Crime Computer screen are 16 different squares. These represent the 16 different placements in the puzzle. The relic shapes have been placed on the screen in a gray scale color. All you have to do for the puzzle is place the relics in the exact position as they are on your Crime Computer screen. Use the spacer stones that are on either side of the puzzle to elevate your relics as necessary. If you have completed it correctly, it will open up a door into an icy crypt. If you have made a mistake, click on the circle below the puzzle and start over. The solution is different every time and that is why it is important to collect as many tapes as possible. Once you have opened the entrance, head down inside. You see a light at the end of the tunnel, but you cannot climb down. You need a ladder. Head back to the Farm House and collect the ladder that you used earlier. =========================================== 68. Farm House =========================================== That ladder is gone. It appears that Alison has awoken, for she is no longer there. Maybe she took the ladder with her. =========================================== 69. Celtic Ruins =========================================== Head back down into the Celtic Ruins and you will find that the ladder is in place. Climb down. Here you will see four people, "The Farmer, The Hunter, The Fisherman, and the Blacksmith. " They will each drop their relic puzzle, which is a key of some sort, into the hole. This will open up a portal, but it requires the fifth element. . . You. If you are attempting 100% Completion or all Achievements, this is the time to go back through and make sure that you have collected everything. Check the map in the Bonus Room, to make sure you collected all of the morphing objects. At this point you should have 49/50 (check case achievements on your home screen to find out). If you have everything, click on the center of the portal to go to the final puzzle. =========================================== 70. Celtic Ruins Crypt =========================================== In the center of the crypt lay the remains of the Banshee. In the upper right hand corner is a skull. Click on it, this is your last Morphing Object. You should now have 50/50 and completed that achievement. Now you stand before five different puzzles. Each puzzle, if you click on it has a riddle. The solution to the riddle is an object in your inventory (excluding the snow shoes). Now if you reference your Ancient Runes Translation Guide, you can fill in the missing letters to spell out the answer to the riddle. Then a piece of stone will rise with a cut-out of the item in your inventory which matches the answer to the riddle. Place the item in the cut-out and you are done. Move on to the next riddle. The answers to all five puzzles, from left to right, are: Feather - Seeds - Salt - Ashes - Mercury Feather - found using Ice Pick by river. Seeds - sunflower seeds purchased from vending machine. Salt - salt collected from basement in Manager's Office. Ashes - collected from fireplace in Lobby Room in urn.

Tape Transcripts =========================================== Tape 1 Alison: The Celtic legend of Dire Grove has been passed down for centuries, from generation to generation. Considered by most a fairy tale, it was told by campfires or as a bedtime story. Again and again it was told, until like most ancient accounts, it bore less resemblance to any factual occurrence and slowly became a superstition. And that is how it remains for over 2, 000 years until today. However absurd it may sound, it is my contention that an artifact unearthed two days ago in the United Kingdom is evidence that the legend of Dire Grove is in fact very real. Judging by today's turnout, I will assume I am the only one that understands this to be true. Tape 2 Alison: I hate packing. It makes me nervous. I always think I'm gonna forget something. Susan: OK, so you really think there's truth to this legend? Alison: Well, it is the source of my dissertation. This relic that they found is the missing link. You're gonna believe me when we get to Dire Grove. Susan: Got a big enough suitcase? Make sure you lock it, you don't want anyone making off with your undies. Don't forget the combination. Alison: Oh, I set it to the last four digits of my phone number so it's easy to remember. Oh, man. Do you think the boys are gonna behave? Susan: It's only for a couple of days, how much trouble can they get into? Besides, they can carry our stuff. Alison: Speaking of stuff: flashlights. Susan: Oh, check. Alison: Sleeping bags? Susan: Check. Alison: Oh, it's Matt. Should I tell the guys we just pick them up a couple hours before the flight? Susan: Sounds good. Alison: Done. Dire Grove, here we come! Tape 3 Jack: We just took off on our way to Dire Grove, and don't tell Susan I borrowed the camera! This is tricky. Jack: So which wagon's ours? Matt: The guy said number six. Jack: There it is. What's with all the paparazzi? Alison: Hey, no messing around. This isn't a pleasure cruise. Tape 4 Susan: So, where to first? Alison: The relic was found by a bed and breakfast, but it's closed for the season. So, we're gonna go camping. Can somebody find it on the map? Jack: Sure. Matt: So how long are we gonna be roughing it? Alison: One or two days. The forecast said it's in the 50's, so it shouldn't be that bad. Susan: Hey Al, tell your fans a little bit about what you're doing. Alison: We are gonna go look at some Celtic Ruins and then I'm gonna talk to the museum director about the relic that was found at Dire Grove. Jack: Here is Dire Grove. Nothing too ominous about that, eh governor? Tape 5 Alison: Dire Grove, here it is. I think it's just up that trail. Matt: Why is it snowing? Susan: It's freezing, and we didn't pack for this kind of weather. Matt: Isn't it supposed to be in the 50's? Alison: I don't know. It's exciting though, isn't it? Come on. Jack: Looks like we're in the right place. Matt: "Dire Grove: closed for the season". Seems deserted. Alison: Come on you guys, this is gonna be fun. Tape 6 Jack: Should we just break in? Alison: I don't know about that. Matt: Is it even locked? *whispering noises* Tape 7 Matt: What are you doing? Susan: Just leaving a note in the guest book. Jack: "The legend is real". When are you going to fill us in on this legend anyway? Tape 8 Matt: We can all this way. When are you going to tell us about this mysterious legend? Alison: Well, it just so happens that I have my slides from my lecture right here. So, roughly 2, 000 years ago on this very spot, lived an ancient civilization called the Celts. What is now Dire Grove was once the settlement of Gaelin. Jack: Should we be taking notes? Alison: Four counts: a hunter, a blacksmith, a farmer, and a fisherman: all gathered in Gaelin and successfully contacted their deceased ancestors by performing the ceremony with these four magical objects. Unfortunately, a gate was opened between the warm grain land of the living and the icy void of the dead. Not knowing how to close the gates, the Celts watched in horror as the icy land of the dead crept into their world. They realized if they didn't know the ice, it would overtake the whole earth, so they had to close the gate. They abducted this young woman and thrust her, like a sacrifice, into the portal. It worked. The ice receded; the earth was green and warm. The Celts collected those magic objects and hid them in difference places so that they would never be united again. Matt: And what happened to the girl? Alison: Well, some people call her the Banshee; other people call her the Ice Lady. Supposedly she waits for the discovery of the relics so that she can come back and turn the earth to ice, so that we may all feel her pain. Susan: A few days ago, archaeologists unearthed a relic near Dire Grove that Alison-- Matt: You believe it's one of the four devices used to open a gate to another world. Alison: Right. Tape 9 Matt: So if they found the first relic, do you think the other three are buried around here somewhere? Alison: That's my guess. The carvings that were found on the relic that was found represent the blacksmith: fire. The Celts place great reverence in the four natural elements of earth, air, fire, water. It just makes sense that the other relics would represent the other elements. Remember who opened the portal? Farmer: earth, fisherman: water. Susan: So if the relics came together again, you're saying the portal would reopen and release the soul of the woman trapped thousands of years ago? Alison: Yes, but unfortunately it would also freeze the entire world in the process. Jack: And there'd be no turning back. Alison: I suppose. I mean, that's how the story's been told for thousands of years. Although, the Celts do believe in this mysterious fifth element, which would trump the other four. Susan: What was it? Alison: Roughly translated, it's known as the "silver soul". There's not a whole lot known about it. It's thought to be highly magical by the Celtic elders, the Druids. Anyway, if an object representing the fifth element was in some way combined with the other four, it would lock the portal forever. Matt: Let's hope we don't have to find out. Tape 10 Jack: I can't sleep I'm so cold. Are you freezing? Susan: It's gotta be twenty below in here. Looks like the fire's out. Alison: Where's Matt? Jack: His sleeping bag is cold. Maybe he went to the bathroom. *whispering voices* Alison: Matt? Matt? Susan: Matt! Alison: Hey Matt? Matt, come on, this isn't funny. Susan: I'm gonna go help her. Tape 11 Alison: Matt? Hey Matt come on this isn't funny. Jack: I'm freezing. Alison: Maybe we should look outside. Jack: Hey, check it out. Foot prints. Alison: Matt! Jack: Dude, where are you? Alison: Matt, it's too cold to be playing out here. Jack: Look, more footprints. Alison: Looks like somebody's been digging holes. Jack: More holes over here. Alison: Matt? Matt. Matt. ? Jack: Dude, what are you digging for? *gasps* Tape 12 Alison: We need to go get help. Susan: We can't just leave him here! Jack: I'll go with her. Will you be OK? Susan: Yeah, just hurry. Jack: OK, I'll get help. Just stay here, OK? Just watch him. Alison: Jack, I'm really scared. I think he's gone totally off. Jack: Hey, it's gonna be OK. I promise, OK? We're gonna get out of this. Alison: What's wrong? Jack: The car, it's too cold or something, it won't start! Alison: Come on Come on. Jack: I'm trying, I'm trying. *whispering noise* Jack: Did you hear that? Alison: Hear what? You're totally freaking me out, stop! Jack: She's calling my name. Alison: Jack, look, you need to get the car started! Stop! *Jack freaks out, Alison screams* Tape 13 Alison: Susan! Susan-- Where's Matt? Susan: He wouldn't stop digging, and I got too cold. It's getting worse out there. Where's Ja-- Alison: Jack's. Gone. Susan: What? To get help? Alison: No, he freaked out and he ran into the woods. OK, we need to start a fire right now before we freeze to death. Susan: No, we need to get help. Alison: No, it's too cold. We need to start a fire right now. What's that? Susan: I found them behind the desk while I was looking for matches. If we're gonna stay here, that's fine, but keep this with you. Alison: Stop. I am worried about the guys too, but we have to start a fire. I don't know what else to do. There's something out there. Tape 14 Susan (via walkie-talkie): Alison, can you hear me? Hello? Alison: Susan? Where did you go? Susan: I don't. Help! Alison: Come back to the room! Susan: She's got me. *screams* Alison: This is a distress call to anyone who finds this tape. The legend is real. I came here with my friends Susan, Jack, and Matt, and she took all of them. I knew this was gonna happen. It's getting really cold. I can feel the ice moving under. Susan: Help! Alison: Susan, are you there? *whispering voices* Alison: Susan? Ahh! Tape 15 Alison: Susan, is that you? Susan? I'm scattering these tapes to increase our chances of being found. The legend is real. This is not a stunt. I'm a graduate student. My name's Alison Sterling and I come from Strayer University. Susan? Is that you? Susan, is that you? Leave me alone, leave me alone! No! Tape 16 Alison: Come on, start! Come on start, please! Oh {unintelligible} I'm so worried. I don't know what to do. "If you find this note, please help, the legend is real. She is real. . . " Whatever you do, don't. . . {screams} =========================================== F. Locations & Descriptions =========================================== Abandoned Car This is where the game starts. You come upon an abandoned car and find your first video tape and your first HOG. Dire Grove Hotel There is a wooded pathway that leads away from the Abandoned Car. At the end of it, in a clearing, is a quaint hotel. This is where are large portion ofthe game takes place. In this guide, it is often referred to as just "Hotel. " Manager's Office Inside the Dire Grove Hotel, on the right when you first walk in, is the Hotel Manager's Office. Inside it is a hidden wall safe, and the entrance that leads to Hotel Basement. Front Desk Within the hotel entrance is the Front Desk. Here you will find a couple of HOGs, but nothing of use otherwise. Hotel Lobby The hotel Lobby is at the end of the hallway found just to the left of the Front Desk. It is actually made up of two screens, but is one continuous room. On the left hand side of the Lobby is the fireplace as well as the backpack which will house a couple of HOGs during the game. Hotel Bathroom The Hotel Bathroom can be found at the top of the stairs and just to the left. This is where you will actually break through the floor to gain entrance into the Manager's Office below. Honeymoon Suite When you are standing in the upstairs hallway of the Dire Grove Hotel, this room is the first room on the left. I named it. It just seemed appropriate what with all the red coloring and the ready bottle of champagne. Nautical Room This is the first door on the right in the upstairs hallway of the Dire Grove Hotel. It houses a footlocker puzzle, the oars for the boat in the Boathouse, where the cell phone charger is plugged in. There is a tape inside the room. There is also a tape outside the door too. Hotel Library This is the second door on the left in the upstairs hallway of Hotel. This is where you get the combination to the hidden wall safe that is in the Manager's Office Floral Bedroom This is the second door on the right hand side of the upstairs hallway of the Hotel. This is where Alison's suitcase is located. The window also has a rudimentary rope made of a knotted bed sheet that leads to the Hunting Lodge and Frozen River by way of the Wolf's Tree pathway. Dumpster This is found just outside of the Floral Room Window of the Hotel. It has a couple of HOGs. Graveyard This is just past the Dumpster and can also be reached from the Floral Room window in the Hotel. When you first come into the Graveyard, a hand reaches out for you from behind a grate. This is where one of the Vending Machine coins is located. Wolf's Tree The Wolf's Tree is located at the back of the Graveyard and can be reached by going out the window of the Floral Room in the Hotel. You have to pay him with a piece of meat before he will allow safe passage. Frozen River The Frozen River is at the end of the left hand path at the Wolf's Tree. This area can be reached by going out the window of the Floral Room in the Hotel. This is where the feather is buried in the ice. Hunting Lodge The Hunting Lodge is at the end of the right hand path at the Wolf's Tree. This area can be reached by going out the window of the Floral Room in the Hotel. This is where you find "The Hunter. " It also houses the lamp that requires kerosene and there are several HOGS as well. This is also where you will pick up the bag of chips for the Bonus Room access. Covered Bridge The Covered Bridge is located to the left of the Hotel. You will need a rope to get across it. This bridge leads to the Farmhouse, The Celtic Ruins, The Dire Grove Historical Heritage Museum, and the Ye Ole Mill Groc.
