Clues & Hints

Q:	How do I solve the marble puzzle in the first VR world?

Go to the divan and find the scroll. Take and read in inventory; this tells you how to play the game.

Find and go to the game board in front of the divan.

Solution: row 1 has default stone already in place; row 2 needs 4 stones, beginning on left edge, skip every other space; row 3 needs 2 stones, 1 one space in from left edge and 1 one space in from right edge; row 4 needs to match row 2; row 5 has default stone already in place.

Q:	How do I solve the fountain puzzle?

Turn off the fountain water by and then go to niche to right of door between this room and fountain room. Manipulate the lever and return to fountain close-up. Now, manipulate lever on fountain. The water is now off and can be turned back on at any time from this view.

Once the water is turned off, you will hear a cacophony of voices; proceed to the Voices tile puzzle.

Q:	How do I solve the clock puzzle?

Find the clock on a table in the library. Apply the star button to the empty hole in the clock. Your clue is revealed by piecing together the riddle fragments.

Solution: first, set the clock hands to 12:00 and press the sun button; second, set the hands to 6:30 and press the moon button; third and last, set the hands to 3:45 and press the star button.

When done, a clock "animation" will play. At the end of this, a compartment in the clock facade will open and a key will be available. Also, a replica of the glass vase held by the mechanical girl will be available on the table. Take both the key and the vase. The vase is used to open the door to the secret passage, and the key is for a treasure chest found at the end of that passage.

Q:	Ok... So I solved all the puzzles in the first VR world. Now what?

Now that all the puzzles have been completed, you must navigate the passage and find the treasure room. Go to the door to the right of fountain; go through the door - you are now in the passage. The key to successfully navigating through the passage is to take the first left upon entry, after that it is merely traveling forward until you get to the treasure room.

Explore the treasure room; notice that all the exits are blocked by gates. Go to the table with the treasure chest and apply the key from inventory to the lock. The box opens and a ruby ring is inside. Take the ring and KLIO will extrapolate. One of the gates is now gone. Go through that door and into another (shorter) passage. Go forward and up the stairs. At the end of this passage you'll be in the Sweet Meats room. Exit from here by (1) locating sliding panel cabinet in wall to the left of the closed door; (2) click on lever in compartment and door unlocks. You have now completed the first VR world!

Q:	How do I solve the Ephesian Letters puzzle?

Go to the door to the right of the entrance, along the right wall and near the corner closest to the entrance. Find the names of the 4 statues (seen outside) mixed up with names of the Ephesian Letters. Replace the statue names with the Letters, using the Myth book from the book bazaar as a clue.

Solution: replace "thought" with "dark," "knowledge" with "truth," "wisdom" with "year," and "virtue" with "sea."

Q:	What do I do with all those Zodiac Sign ingots?

		Pisces
		Aquarius
		Capricorn
		Sagittarius
		Scorpio
		Libra
		Virgo
		Leo
		Cancer

Q:	What is the security code for the door keypad?

A:	The clue for this is (1) the notebook found in the duffel bag with the pencil impression made and (2) the lime on the counter inside the nargile bar, and (3) the green tiles of the Okey game next to the lime.

Q:	These clues still don't help me at all. What should I do???

Well, there are several things you can do.
Check out Usenet if you have access to that feature of the Internet. There are several adventure game discussion groups where users are discussing Byzantine as you read this! A good group to start with is Comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.adventure (you can get to this group through AOL or the Internet!). Also, a walkthrough has been posted to the Gamezilla website.
