Walkthrough by Harry Laudie

 

You start at the top of a staircase in a house. To the north are a red key lock and a closed door. Further north on the balcony is another closed door. Go south and open the first door you reach. Enter the bedroom and notice a fireplace with a BBQ mesh at the south wall. Go west and crawl under the foot of the bed and pick up a crowbar. Look out the south window and you can see an item on he outside balcony. You can enter the bathroom in the north-west corner and admire the non-rectangular bathtub. Push open the middle doors at the north wall. Go to the left and push a button to turn on the light in the room. You can see an empty pedestal at the north wall. Exit these rooms and return to the balcony.

 

Go east and see a closed door. Stop at the opening in the railing. Run and jump to the north and grab the bottom of the chandelier. Climb to the top of the chandelier. Climb the chain and back flip into a north tunnel. Go through a crawl space to the chain of the other chandelier. Grab the edge of the hole and shimmy to the left to pull up into an east crawl space. Crawl through and drop at the end. Grab the ledge and shimmy to the right. Drop onto the windows above the door. Pick up a Green Key and safety drop to the floor.

 

You are in the main hall. Admire the highly reflective shiny floor. Go to the south-east corner and go through the open doorway and enter a small room. Go to the south-west corner and go down the ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, notice the picture on the east wall. Leave it for later. Go west into a small room and pick up flares off the north-east corner box. Pull back the large barrel in the north-west corner. Go behind it to push a button on the wall. Go south and go out the open door and into the snowy outside.

 

It is possible to grab the east wall and slide down into a pit. But you are stuck with no escape so do not try it. Go west to the frozen patio. Climb onto the box at the north wall and pull up onto the north wall. You are outside the bedroom. Side jump over the railings and follow the balcony east to pick up the Frozen Crown. Go west over the glass roof towards a white tower. The camera view changes to confuse you. Run off the end and drop onto a block. Drop down again and go behind the tower to enter the tower. Crouch down beside the item on the snow to pick up the Caucasus Egg and secret #1. Exit and climb back out of the hole. Drop down to the south onto the frozen patio.

 

Go south-west and into the ice cave. Dive into the water and swim into the underwater tunnel in the west wall. Pull up into another ice cave. You can see a large cave behind the west ice wall. Go east onto the ledge above the water. Enter another tunnel and go south to a T-junction. Go west into the large cave that you saw through the ice wall. Go to the west wall and push the button. Climb onto the snowy block in the middle of the cave. Run and jump to the snowy column to the south corner. Run and jump to grab the lower left side of the crevice on the east snow column. Shimmy to the right and around the corner. When the camera view changes, you should be safe to drop onto a ledge. Grab the ceiling and monkey swing to the south. Release and grab the crevice below you. Shimmy to the left and pull up onto the column. Go south into the alcove and use the floor lever. Exit the alcove and safety drop to the floor.

 

Go east to the far end. You enter a room with a Christmas tree. Go south to enter the open door. Pick up a Faberge Egg of the floor. Exit the tunnel and return to the room. You can shoot the presents near the Christmas tree but they contain nothing. Go west and down the north tunnel to get back to the water. Dive into the water and pull up to the north-east. Exit the ice cave and go north-east back into the house.

 

Still ignore the picture. Return to the main hall and go up the stairs. Go to the south balcony and enter the open door to the bedroom. Place the frozen crown on the BBQ mesh in the fireplace. The crown thaws and you now have a Golden Crown in the inventory. Enter the north room and place the golden crown on the pedestal at the north wall. You get a cut scene of a door opening on the south balcony. Exit this room and go east on the balcony to the open door.

 

Go through the open door and enter the room. Go to the east window and the camera view changes. You can see leaves that may indicate a climbable wall. Pick up a large medipack from the floor. Use the LOOK key and you can see a pool with two blocks on the outside of the window. Go to the small cabinet in the south-east corner of the room. Take one step back and use CTRL to search the cabinet. You find a small waterskin. Exit the room and go down the stairs. [Note] You could use the crowbar to pry open the door in the south wall. Inside is a pool of water where you can fill the small waterskin. I opened that door later in the game. [End note]

 

Enter the south room again and go down the south ramp. Now shoot the picture on the east wall. Pull up into the crawl space behind the picture. You enter another room and see a wall switch. Go east and find the water that you saw from the window above. There are two blocks in the water. Pull down the wall switch and a block rises in the water. Jump onto the lower block and fill the small waterskin with water. Jump onto the block and run and jump to grab the leaves on the south wall. Climb up and shimmy to the right. Drop onto the window ledge and see another room through the window. Run and jump to grab the leaves on the west wall. Climb up and shimmy to the right and find a jump switch. Pull down the jump switch and get a cut scene of a door opening on a balcony. Pull up out of the water and push up the wall switch.

 

Go east and see that another block has risen in the water. Run and jump to grab the north wall. Climb up onto the ledge from the cut scene. There is nothing to do here yet. Jump back into the water and pull up onto the west ledge. Exit the room and go back through the crawl space. Go up and ramp and exit north to the main hall.

 

Go west under the left archway and push open the right side doors. Enter the room and go to the fireplace. Jump over the railings and carefully stand at the north side of the fire.

Go up the ramp and enter the main hall again.

Jump into a dark west wall alcove and pick up the revolver from the pedestal. Go back to the entrance tunnel and exit back to the balcony. Go down the stairs to the main hall.

 

Go west under the right archway. Turn to the right and see the open door from the cut scene. Enter the open door and follow the corridor to a room with moveable pieces on the reflective floor. Look at the floor at the west wall and you see that two floor tiles are different in design. Move the two pieces from the center of the room onto those design tiles. One tile is in the south-west corner. The other tile is at wide column at the west wall. A block rises behind the piano to the north-east. There is a small medipack in the lower north-west alcove.

 

Hop onto the block and pull up onto the second floor. Jump into the north wall alcove and pull down the wall switch. You get a cut scene of a rope dropped from the ceiling.

Refill the small waterskin in the shallow pool if you want. Go east and south to enter the large gymnasium. You can see a yellow key lock and a closed gate in the east wall. Go south to find some sloped columns. Stand with you back to the smaller sloped column. Back flip onto that column and jump forward to grab the taller column. Climb up and shimmy to the left around the comer. Climb up, slide down, and jump onto a flat column. Pick up the Ruby Cube from the column. Safety drop to the floor. Go to the south wall and push a moveable block into a small room. Use the flare to see the block. Pick up a small medipack from the floor. Push the button on the wall near the room entrance. Exit the room and see that a door has opened in the upper south wall.

 

Return towards the entrance and see two blocks to the west. Jump onto the low block to the west. Pull up onto the higher block and grab the ceiling. Monkey swing west and then south to the end. Release and grab the ladder on the sloped column. Shimmy to the left and climb the ladder to the top. Pull down the jump switch and get a cut scene of a block dropping in the west wall.

 

Return to the blocks and grab the monkey swing again. Monkey swing west and release to grab the edge of a slope. Pull up, slide down, and jump with grab to glide into an upper west wall alcove.
