Veil of Darkness
Very partial solve for Veil of Darkness
Hey, a superior game from the folks who gave us the summoning. Similar interface, somewhat difficult to get used to but an all around attractive game. The following is a brief description of what I have accomplished so far, which is about two tasks out of many.
Talk to the girl, she says to go talk to her father. Do so (I might throw in some half baked maps here at the end, if not figure it out for yourself.) Talk to her father "Kirill". Now go talk to Ivan. When through, instead of clicking bye, type in coins and he will give you a whole bag full. Now go to the inn. I dunno if all this needs to be done, but it is what I did. Obviously like Sherlock Holmes, doing some things triggers responses from other unrelated characters. Talk to the girl in the red dress "Sophia". Talk to the Barkeep, Seth. Talk to the patrons. Go to the herb shop. Buy some fennel seeds from the shopkeeper, Annabelle. Go to the shack next door and get the prybar (looks like a crowbar to me). Go next door to Jon's store and buy an oil lamp. Go to the other shack and talk to the boy (Anton or Ghorghe, guess it is anton). Go down in the basement and talk to his father, Josep, who promises to sell you some candles later....to date he still won't. Shades of the lady in the play in Sherlock Holmes. Now go into the last house with the broken windows and pickup the cloth on the floor. Push open the bookcase. Take the two coins and the hammer next to the body. Go back to Kirill and give him the hammer by talking to him. He will give you some pages and the Prophecy.
Click on the Prophecy and it will show you all the tasks you need to get done. Go back to the little boy (Anton) and type in Natalia. I also went to the herb shop and typed in garlic (on a hunch) and it did give me a response. Now go talk to the bar hangers-on. This apparently triggers the next event occassionally, kind of like going to the overlook in Robin Hood. They talk about Boris and Sylvia and give you a map.
You can now click on the map, giving you a full screen map, and you click on their farmhouse. Talk to Boris. Talk to Sylvia in the next room. Do not do this just prior to eating your own dinner.
Exit the house. Having talked about the barn it is now on the map.
Click on the barn, get the pitchfork. Exit. Click on the crashsite.
Time for some fighting. Put the cursor near the top of the lower part of the screen where it splits till you get a double arrow and scroll down. Take the sword, put it in your hand. Now go attack the wolves, clicking on the upper left of the four "what is in your hand" symbols. Should wax the wolves with little effort.
Walk around and talk to the tree. Go back to the bar. Talk to the hangers on about the monastery. Click on map and monastary. Talk to the monk, I bought one holy water from him. (obviously I need the cup from the barkeep and some ashes from the tree to perform the next task I think but so far no such luck.). Go downstairs. Talk to the Writing Monk. Go further back and get the Crystal Innate and the ceremonial gothic mace. Go back to the tavern. tAlk to the musician. Pick up the darts. Go back to the start and talk to the girl, she will give you the red scarf.
And stuck I now am. I have the red scarf, the mace the crystal innate, the holy water, the sword, three darts, the fennel seeds, 2 coins, pitchfork, cloth, lamp, a bag of coins, pages and a pry bar. And no idea what to do next.
