INTRODUCTION
*************************************************************************
Being that this is my first and probably only walkthrough I will ever do, I'll just say now that I originally just wrote this stuff down to help my wife when she played the game, and since there were no walkthroughs up for it yet, I decided to go ahead and submit it.  The walkthrough, while truncated, answers every puzzle, reveals every secret item and will successfully get you through the entire game including the "Revisited" levels.  The nitpicky little stuff like controls I won't be including because I feel like if you went through the trouble to look up a walkthrough, then you are probably capable of reading the book the game came with to
get the controls.  I'm also not going to retell you the story of the game. If you want the story, read the book.  This walkthrough is designed simply to get you through the game when you get stuck.

UPDATE JUNE 10, 2006 - Due to the popularity of this walkthrough and from numerous requests to do so, I will retract my statement about this being the only walkthrough I am doing. I am beginning work on the walkthrough for Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.

Ok, ordinarily, I hate these things. I believe it sucks all the challenge out of a game, however, everybody else is posting them, so I might as well jump on the bandwagon. These can be entered by entering the codes menu in the game:

Et In Arcadia Ego -------All bonuses Unlocked
Apocrypha -----------------All Visual Database entries Unlocked
Sacred Feminine --------Double Health
Vitruvian Man -------------God Mode(infinite health)
Clos Luce 1519 ----------Level Select
Phillips Exeter -----------One Hit Fist Kill
Royal Holloway ----------One Hit Weapon Kill

Credit for this list goes to every walkthrough site listed in my permissions
list and the 38,000 of you that submitted them by e mail.

Do they work? Probably. Nobody's bitching.

BEFORE YOU WRITE TO ME!!!
************************************************************************

I do not mind answering questions, in fact I have enjoyed hearing from folks all over the world already and have met some really great people, but I would ask this:  Please don't write with a question until you have CAREFULLY checked the walkthrough to be sure the answer isn't there.  I have been receiving a LOT of e mail and I'm the type of person who has to answer EVERY SINGLE ONE (it is just the kinda guy I am and I wouldn't sleep if I didn't answer one - not that I sleep anyway).  Far too many of the questions have been things that were answered in the walkthrough, and either because the individual read too quickly or they had not read far enough, they didn't find the answer they needed. Please help me by making absolutely sure the answer isn't in the walkthrough already.

I am a writer. I write in english and I appreciate those that respond to me in english, do it correctly. I do not respond to "internet shorthand". Do not write "r" instead of "are". Do not write "4" instead of "for". Do not write "2" instead of "to" and for God's sake, don't write "knoe" instead of "know". I took the time to write using proper english, you will take the time to respond to me in proper english. I believe "internet shorthand" is an abomination of the language and simply goes to demonstrate INCREDIBLE laziness. I also used capital letters, punctuation and sentence structure. I expect you to do so as well. The idea here is that if you can read it correctly, then you ought to be able to write it correctly too. This is a major pet peeve of mine and I will not bend on it. Any e mail sent to me like this will
simply get this paragraph, copied and pasted, in return.

**EDITED JUNE 3, 2006  -- OK PEOPLE, FOR THE LAST TIME, IF THE ANSWER IS IN THIS WALKTHROUGH, I AM NO LONGER ANSWERING YOUR E MAILS!!  ONE GUY HAS EVEN DECIDED TO ARGUE WITH ME THAT I DON'T GIVE THE 4 DIGIT CODE NEEDED AT THE BEGINNING OF BANK OF ZURICH, WHEN NOT ONLY IS IT THERE, ITS THERE TWICE!! SO FROM THIS POINT FORWARD, IF I DON'T ANSWER YOUR MAIL, THE ANSWER IS IN THE WALKTHROUGH AND YOU MISSED IT!!!!!!**

 

The Walkthrough

 

************************************************************************
I.  The Louvre (3 Secrets)
************************************************************************

Secrets will be indicated by surrounding stars, all capital letters, highlighted in red and boxed in for easy identification.   e.g.: **SECRET** If you don't get the hint beyond that, I really can't help you.

Starting with the opening scene with Silas sitting on the bed, carefully watch the entire opening scenes.  Take special note of the order in which each character appears in the opening sequence.  I know it’s a little early to be talking about it now, but this sequence of character appearance will be important to you in the very last puzzle of the game.


(Sauniere's body must be examined in the order shown above)

You'll go through some more scenes and finally you will gain control. You will get a phone call that doesn't make any sense to you, and you will say as much to Sophie.  She will then slip you a business card.  Go into your inventory and examine the business card and you will find a number on the back of it.  Then use the cell phone in your inventory and dial "454" on the phone and there will be a message that will clear things up a bit.

You'll then end up in the bathroom with Sophie.  Get the bar of soap from the counter, go into your inventory and combine it with the tracking device. Use the buttons you are instructed to, to lift the window and throw the resulting device out.


**I have received numerous e mails about people not being able to get this window open.  You have to tap the button that appears at the bottom of the screen REPEATEDLY until that icon turns bright green (you have built up his strength), then you must QUICKLY push up on both joysticks and the window will raise.  If you don't push up quickly enough, Langdon will lose his strength and you will have to start again.  Get used to this procedure!! You will be using it a lot in this game!**

Now you'll have a cryptogram puzzle.  Rearrange the letters in "OH LAME SAINT" to make "THE MONA LISA"  A clue!

Now you'll be Sophie and you'll have to creep towards the entrance way to get the UV light from the Crime Investigators box.  Just crouch and sneak past the first two guards and in the next room grab the pole on the ground and sneak up behind the third guard staring into the box and club him quietly to the floor.  Examine the box and you'll eventually find the UV light. 

 

Poof - You're standing in front of the Mona Lisa and Langdon is with you again.

Examine the Mona Lisa with the UV light and you'll see the cryptogram. Use the UV light to highlight EVERY SINGLE character and it will switch you over so you can solve the puzzle by replacing the symbols with letters.  The solution will be:

DA VINCI
PAINTED THOSE
THAT KNEW
BETWEEN BACCHUS
AND URIEL LIES
THE CLUE

Congratulations, you've solved the first of many cryptograms.

Grab the **SATURN SPHERE** from the statue in the middle of the room.

Take note of the glowing symbol on the statue before you grab the item. This is what you will look for to find further secret items.  Now head out the door back into the main hall.  Just outside the door you'll find the paintings of both Bacchus and Uriel and a cut scene will ensue. Examine the painting in between the two and you'll find something. Lift Sophie up and she'll grab the PRIORY RING. 

 

More cut scene.

Now you'll be heading to Sauniere's office.  Either hide out in the main hall and sneak past the guards (wait for them to walk out), or double team them and beat 'em up, your choice.  Go into the office (the guards won't return).  Examine all the objects on the desk (grab the small bandage in the top right drawer if you need it).  When you've done that, move to the wall and examine the map with the UV light.  Another clue! Go to the air vent on the wall just to the left of the map and lift
Sophie up to climb in. 

 

She'll open up the Restoration room and let you in.

In here you'll need to examine another desk and read the notes to learn about the 5 chemicals and the Director's instructions for mixing them.

 

 

Directly behind you on top of some boxes, you can find **DA VINCI'S ARIAL SCREW** (There are no glowing symbols to indicate any of Da Vinci's contraptions, you've actually gotta look for those)

Now you want to head to the table with the chemicals on it and examine that.  Just to sort out what you read at the desk, you want 1 shot of Chitinase, 1 shot of Dismutase and 1 shot of Catalase (1st, 2nd and 4th chemicals) and you'll have your mixture. 

Now look by a yellow toolbox and find the TOWEL.  Combine the towel and the chemical.  Take the resulting red rag and use it on the dirty painting. 

When the cut scene is done, grab a first aid kit from a corner of the room behind some tall paintings and you can head out of this room.  You're heading back down to the Mona Lisa room.

When you get back in there, creep up the left side of the room because a guard will come around from the right side of the Mona Lisa.  You want to go where he came from, you just want to get there from the left side of the painting.  Creeping will avoid having to deal with him at all.  Go through the doorway behind the Mona Lisa and creep directly to the left side of the two doorways and hide in that corner.  In just a second, the two guards in the next room will get called away and you can cruise in there without having to deal with either of them.  There is nothing of importance in that room so just run on through to the other side and you'll enter the Nike room.

Go down either stairwell, it doesn't matter.  When you get to the landing and start to go up the next set of stairs, a guard will pop out from behind the Nike Statue.  If you're creeping, then he won't see you and in just a second, he'll turn his back to you and go up a set of stairs to the left.  Creep up behind him and do the stealth knockout and you can breathe relief.  Examine the statue and learn stuff.  Go back up to the platform you knocked out the guard on and examine the display case there. 

You'll see a round hole here.  Be sure to pan the camera so that the round hole is in the center of the screen and is indicated as such at the top of the screen.  Use the PRIORY RING on it and a drawer will slide out to give you a FLEUR-DE-LIS DISC.

You're all done here and now its time to escape the Louvre.  Go down to the landing below the Nike statue and two guards will start to come up towards you.

Hide to the right, wait for them to separate and you can take them both out with stealth attacks.  After both guards are knocked out, look around on the lower landing (the right side as you came down the stairs).  You should see a glowing symbol on the wall as you turn to look back up the stairs. 

Examine the railing and you'll find the **LEAD COIN**

Finally, head carefully out the exit door there at the very bottom.  You'll see one guard, but there are actually two.  Creep up behind the statue to the left and if you're lucky, you can take out one of them with a stealth attack, but at a minimum you're going to end up fighting at least one of them, so take them out.  When they are disposed of, head to the exit and the level is over.
