'''Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars''', known as '''Circle of Blood''' in the US, was developed by Charles Cecil of [[Revolution Software]] and released for [[Windows]], [[PlayStation]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]. This is the first in a series of {{c|Broken Sword}} games, spanning from [[1996]] to the latest one released in [[2006]]. It has also been ported to the [[Palm OS]] by [[Astraware]], and to the Wii and Nintendo DS. It was followed by [[Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror]].


<pre>
On March 21, [[2009]], [[Ubisoft]] released a special edition of Shadow of the Templars for the [[Wii]] and [[Nintendo DS]]. The special editions are extended versions of the original. Unlike in the original, players can play as Nico. The new ones include new puzzles designed specifically for each platform. The Wii version is titled Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars - The Director's Cut and features new character artwork during conversations and a new first person view for certain puzzles. Unlike the original game, the updated version also allows for multiple solutions to puzzles and a new co-operative mode for two players.

Opening in the city of Paris, George Stobbart is enjoying his autumn vacation when he narrowly escapes an explosion outside of a café. Following the clues left behind by the killer, who is dressed as a clown, George discovers there is something much larger and more dangerous going on that stretches back in time as far as the [[WikiPedia:Knights Templar|Knights Templar]]. You play as George and enlist the help of a French journalist, Nicole Collard, to follow an intricate manuscript which points you in the direction of various locations such as Paris, Ireland, Syria, Spain and Scotland.

Life went on around me, but the explosion was to chance my life forever...
 
------
Street
------
 
After the introduction, check the table to the southwest and also the broken
glass window. Not much in the form of clues from both of them, so walk over
to the streetlight and pick up the newspaper. After reading the suspicious
writing on the back, George will pocket the newspaper. Next, walk into the
cafe.
 
----
Cafe
----
 
A dead man resides near the door. George will check his pockets, but it is to
no availability; it seems this very dead man has no identification. On the
other side of the room you will find a bottle of Brandy, but we don't like
that stuff. A waitress is sitting south of the bar. Talk to her, and tell her
that you are a Doctor. Also give her the bottle of brandy; she has had a hard
day.
 
...but not that hard of a day. She gobbles the Brandy like it is air! It
seems she hasn't lost consciousness yet, as she asks if the man is dead. Tell
her the truth; he looks dead enough. Now you can finally question her. Opt to
ask her everything you can. Choose the same option, such as the dead man,
until it is not an option anymore. This signifies that you have asked her
everything you can about the subject.
 
Besides her own suspicion that the dead man was having an affair, she won't
be very helpful. There are not any clues in this room, so leave the cafe the
way you entered.
 
-------------------
Rosso's Questioning
-------------------
 
Once outside, head to the northern area to meet Moue. It seems Americans are
never innocent. Rosso will break up the arrest and bring you into the Cafe
for questioning.
 
For the first question, answer that you saw him enter the cafe. For the
second, choose the clown option. Rosso will tell you to kindly leave and give
his card just in case you remember anything else. Of course, it just happened
five minutes ago - I can't imagine George recalling anything else.
 
----------------
Questioning Nico
----------------
 
Outside, a woman will be walking around, taking photos of things. Talk to her
and George will take it away. Her name is Nico, she's a Reporter, and, most
importantly, she knows about the clown. If you press her on the matter,
though, she'll say that it's a long story and she doesn't have time to tell
you. Choose the next option, the dead man, and she'll give you his name
(Plantard). It seems Plantard wanted to meet Nico at the cafe because he knew
of a really good story.
 
After the small conversation, Nico will cut it off, saying that she has to
develop some pictures. George, being the sly dog he is, gets Nico's number.
We could all learn from the great George Stobbart. Alone again, it's time to
investigate further. Walk up the road to the northern area you were at
earlier. Y'know, the one where Moue pulled a gun on you.
 
-----------------
Construction Site
-----------------
 
Talk to the construction worker, Flobbage, who seems to be digging some sort
of hole. Talk to him about the clown - pursue the conversation a couple times
and Flobbage will say "I wondered what that bang was...!" Heh heh, either
they are stereotyping the French or construction workers, probably the
former.
 
Anyway, continue questioning him about everything. George will say he's a cop
when you flash Rosso's card to him. Give him the newspaper and Flobbage will
reveal what the writing on the back of the newspaper means. Something about a
race horse. He'll go off to bet on that same horse. Construction workers. But
who cares, you can now raid his toolbox!
 
Do just that, and take the T-shaped tool from his box. George will
automatically do it, saying that "it looks useful." Ha. Try the door near the
construction site but it's securely locked. Ignore the telephone - you don't
need to call anyone right now - and go back to the cafe west of this screen.
Walk down the road to the streetlight and go east, over to what looks like an
alley.
 
-----
Alley
-----
 
The clown escaped this way, as you might already know. Try to climb the drain
pipe near the entrance to this area, and George concludes that the clown
didn't use that to get away. Check both of the trash cans in this area to
find out that he isn't hiding in those. Of course, if he was, he must smell
horrible. Finally, use the T-shaped item (in the item screen) to open the
manhole. George, of course, repockets the tool. We must have to use it again.
Enter the manhole.
 
------
Sewers
------
 
Interesting sewer we have here. A red ball resides in the middle of the
walkway. Walk over to it and George will realize it is the clown nose! No,
the clown definitely wasn't down here. Continue to the next area of the
sewers to find a soggy tissue. Walk south and pick up the scrap of material
off of the "thing." It is a piece of the clown costume! Boy, this clown must
have a good time dropping incriminating clues on the ground. Exit via the
ladder.
 
--------------
Albert's House
--------------
 
Albert thinks you're a bad guy. After George calms him, ask him about the
clown. Albert won't budge - he thinks you're in the same "league" as the
clown. To further his suspicion, he doesn't know what you are doing down in
the sewers. Show him the police card that you obtained from Rosso and he'll
think you are a policeman.
 
Now he is putty in our hands. Ask him about the clown, Plantard, and the
briefcase. He will give you good answers to each of the questions. It seems
the briefcase is of some importance. Finally, show him the clown scrap to him
and it seems he has the clown costume, but it's in repair. He knows all the
specifics on it, though, from time at the "desert." I wanna go to the desert.
When you are done questioning him about the jacket, opt to leave his house.
 
-----------------
Construction Site
-----------------
 
Albert knew the phone number and the telephone is right there. It practically
has "Call Todryk" in neon lights over it. So call the guy. It turns out that
Todryk doesn't know anything at all about a bombing, or Plantard, or the
clown. He doesn't know nothing! Leave the construction site to the east.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Go to the southern dot on the map.
 
--------------
Police Station
--------------
 
Fancy police station... anyway, talk to the guy at the counter. He isn't much
help, though. Rosso and Moue both aren't here, so decide to end the
conversation and use the telephone at the far west of the room. Call Nico and
George will brag about everything he has discovered. Nico is so impressed
that she'll invite you over to her apartment. Oh my! Exit the police station.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Nico's apartment is in the middle of the three dots, to the left of the
police station.
 
----------------
Apartment Street
----------------
 
Walk over to the door in the middle of this area. It will be locked. South of
the door you'll find an old lady. Talk to Fleur; she is a flower seller by
day and a fortune teller by night. Ask her about Nico and she'll give you the
trick to opening the apartment door. Continue talking about Nico to find out
that she isn't really successful. Ignore the other options (they both yield
nothing) and open the door to Nico's apartment.
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
A snowman, a penguin, and now a clown! Osh Begosh, I think Nico is on to
something! Continue to talk about everything you can - Nico will find a shop
name in the clown nose. I guess George thought it was mucus. She'll shoot
down most of the other items you let her see, though. Talk about her and
she'll go on about her father and college. When there are no options left,
opt to leave.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Enter the new dot - it should be the most northern dot, also.
 
------------
Costume Shop
------------
 
At the costume shop, talk to the man on the other side of the counter.
Claude, the shop worker, starts up the conversation with some idle talk about
dressing up. Next, we get to the questioning. It seems that Claude sells
substantial amounts of clown costumes and can't look in the records for
anyone who has bought one. He recognizes the substance on the tissue has
grease paint, "white pancake."
 
This guy must have quite a nose. Claude also knows the man in the photo that
you acquired from Nico. His name is Khan. Anyway, opt to leave and Claude
will have a little surprise for you. He gives the electronic device to you as
a gift, I guess he has a ton lying around. After the trickery, leave the
Costume Shop.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
The costume shop dot will turn black, signifying that you can't go back to
that dot. Return to the police station, which is the most southern dot.
 
--------------
Police Station
--------------
 
Talk to the guy at the counter. It's none other than Moue. He must be
workin' counters now. Talk to him about Khan, to which he doesn't know
anything, and then about Rosso, who is at the police station currently. Rosso
will walk out to the counter, and in the words of George: "He was pompous,
and patronizing, but he had style."
 
Quiz Rosso on everything that you have found. He won't budge from his
original tirade, though, that you shouldn't investigate the clown. After
talking to him, finish up questioning Moue, who will also say nothing and
admit everything is "circumstantial." I think the developers are trying to
depict that police people aren't helpful. D:
 
Well, now that we know the suspect's name is Khan, we might as well call
Todryk again. Use the telephone in the police station to call him. Choose the
third option - Khan - and Todryk will spill where Khan is located. We've got
you now, Mister Clown! Exit to the world map.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Walk to the southeast dot, now, next to the river.
 
---------
Hotel Ubu
---------
 
What an extravagant exterior to a hotel. And two suspicious looking
characters near the entrance to boot. Talk to both Flap and Guido about
everything - all the options - and they'll answer rather oddly, like they are
hiding something. Anyway, enter the hotel.
 
Inside, talk to the pianoist, Piermont, who acts all snobby and "royalish."
She'll talk about her dead husband and how he made a good excuse to leave to
Paris. Witch. Continuing the conversation, she talks about the man of her
dreams that she saw a little while ago. Blah blah blah. Show her the picture
of Khan and she'll recognize it as the man of her dreams!
 
Moerlin is the name she got from him. She'll talk about Moerlin giving the
clerk some papers. Talk to the guy reading the newspaper next to the statue
now. He knows that Khan is a killer ("amongst other things"), but he won't
help you investigate. After this, talk to the clerk at the counter to the
west.
 
He denies everything but, according to George, his expression changed when he
talked about the scar. The clerk won't give you access to anything unless you
have an investigator's license, so he turns out to be a dead end. Try to get
the keys north of the counter and the clerk will catch you. Nothing more down
here, so ascend upstairs.
 
The two doors on this floor are both locked. Blast. Go back downstairs and
talk to the clerk about keys. It seems that one of the rooms is vacant.
However, guests will be arriving for that room, so you can't buy a night
there. Talk to Piermont about the keys and she will distract the clerk long
enough to get your key!
 
Walk back upstairs and open the first door. In this room, try calling Nico on
the left side of the phone, but she won't pick up. Open the drawer on the
other side of the room but it won't yield anything, either. Enough horsing
around - go over to the window and, after opening it, walk outside to the
ledge.
 
Sidle over to the east where Khan's room resides at. It seems that Khan likes
to leave his windows open so unsuspecting burglars can jump on in. Check the
drawer on the right side to yield nothing - I guess the assassin was smart
enough to not leave incriminating evidence lying around. This must not be the
same clown. Walk to the front of the bed and check the bed. George will find
Plantard's briefcase, but Khan wasn't stupid enough to leave anything in
there.
 
Check the wardrobe, which is to the left of the bed. Finally, try to leave.
Khan will be just outside the door, but - thankfully - he won't see George.
Immediately, George will hide inside the wardrobe. Immediately, Khan gets a
new suit in the wardrobe. Khan must be blind along with having a scar,
because he won't see you. After Khan changes, he'll leave the room.
 
Walk on over to the bed and check the pants that Khan left. Cool, we found an
electrician's passcard! And Thomas Moerlin was one of the names Khan was
using! Leave the room and walk downstairs to the lobby. Talk to the clerk
about the passcard but he *still* won't give you passage to the safe.
 
Return to Piermont and talk to her about the passcard. She'll agree to help
you again with the clerk. You just gotta know how to rid'em. Once you get the
parchment, talk to Ostvald about the parchment. It seems he knows something.
Choose the match option and he'll say something incomprehensible. Now it's
time to go back upstairs.
 
Return to the first room and out to the ledge. Go to the item menu and choose
the parchment (it should be the first option). George will toss the
manuscript to the alley floor to make sure the two men outside don't take it
from him. Now that you don't have the manuscript, walk out the front door of
the lobby. After being checked by Guido and Flap, go to the alley to the west
and pick up the parchment from the ground. Finally, you'll be taken back to
Nico's apartment.
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
After sitting down, talk to Nico about the manuscript. And talk to her again
about the manuscript. And talk about the five sections of the manuscript. And
talk about Nico's past boyfriends. Finally, talk about the matches and clown.
Then we're off to the museum in search of "some guy who gets horny on
fossils."
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Crune Museum is located to the southeast, next to Ubu Hotel, which is now a
black dot.
 
------------
Crune Museum
------------
 
Walk inside the museum and talk to Goinfre, who will be walking back and
forth at the northwestern part of the room. Goinfre doesn't know anything
about the Shadow Templars, so take a peak at the thing in the middle of the
room. It is the tripod, and George gets an epiphany to tour Ireland. Now that
we have the information we need, leave the Museum.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Walk to the northeastern part of the map and you'll be transported to the
Europe map. Walk to the northwestern dot, which some of you more intelligent
people might know as Ireland. Enter.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.2  -  Ireland
=============================================================================
 
------
Street
------
 
On the street, talk to the boy beside the bar. His name is Maguire and he
won't give up much enlightment on anything. It seems that the castle is
locked up, but that's about all he'll tell you. Kids. Anyway, the entrance to
the bar is right near Maguire.
 
-----------
Ireland Bar
-----------
 
What a stereotypical bar! Talk to the man in the blue shirt on the counter of
the bar. Ask him about the castle but he won't know anything. Continue by
saying that you are a Professor and he'll ask why you aren't with the other
people.
 
Talk to the man standing next to him. O'Brien knows that no one is permitted
into the castle, and that Professor Peagram dug up a gem. He left
mysteriously afterwards, though, so you can't question him or anything.
Continue talking to O'Brien and say that you aren't a Reporter - apparently
he hates them.
 
After this, converse with the man sitting at the table in the middle of the
room. His name is Sean Fitzgerald, and apparently he used to play at the
castle as a little kid. However, when someone died one day playing, he never
went there again. If you want to knock down a pint or two of Ale, just ask
the Bartender, Leary.
 
Lastly, talk to the man in the eastern corner of the room. At first, George
(being the cheapstake he is) thinks that the necklace wire is for a woman.
The man corrects him, saying that it is for a rabbit. After the conversation,
take the necklace from the table. And after that, loot the towel at the end
of the bar.
 
With the booty in hand, walk back outside and talk to Maguire again. This
time, however, bring up Peagram in your chat. If you press the option enough,
you will find out that Sean actually worked for Peagram! Back at the bar,
converse with Sean again. The usual: he exclaims that Maguire is lying.
 
Armed with a lie, talk to Doyle now. It seems he doesn't know anything at
first, but he quickly realizes that his brain needs some *lubrication*. Buy
him some beer and his brain circuits will suddenly start functioning again -
Sean _was_ working with Peagram.
 
Confront Sean and he'll think that you are from social security. With that in
mind, he pours out everything he knows about Peagram, the gem, and this
Marquet guy. Try to persuade Sean to give you the package but he'll have none
of it. After he runs outside, Maquire will immediately enter the bar and howl
that Sean has been run over.
 
The bartender runs a tight ship, though, and doesn't care much about Sean.
Exit to the street and Maguire will tell you everything. It seems a
leprechaun in a ferrari ran over our poor Sean (well, Sean ended on top of
the car). After chatting with Maguire, take a look over at the black spot on
the left side of the bar's entrance.
 
It seems that the car knocked the cover off of some type of switch. George
tries to flip the switch but ends up snapping it. Klutz. Reenter the bar and
ask for another pint of ale. Everything in the shop is broken but thankfully,
being an electric man, you can fix it.
 
Walk around to the inside of the bar and take a look at the pump. Use the
handy dandy trap necklace that Ron gave you to fix the pump. Leary will be so
happy that he'll let you fix the other pumps in the cellar. Joy. The cellar
door is located near the newly fixed pump.
 
Downstairs, go to the center of the room and pull down the lever. Once that's
complete, ascend upstairs and exit the bar completely. Take a poke at the
black trap door on the sidewalk near the window. George will thrust it up
with all his strength.
 
...only to find Khan lurking down the street. George will smoothly sidestep
him, though, saying that he didn't see the car or the leprechaun or the
parcel or the ferrari. He also vouches for Maguire. Now that Khan's out of
the way, enter the bar and descend to the cellar. It's really bright in here
now. George will pocket both the flashlight and the gem.
 
Maguire, being a kid, can't see a bribing opportunity if it smacked him in
the face and said: "Hey, I will bribe you!" Dolt. Anyway, while you're down
here, you might as well use the free water. After turning the water on, soak
the towel with the water. Now that we're done with the bar, exit to the
street and go east to another area.
 
------
Castle
------
 
Talk to the man ensconced on his hay. He's relieved that his nephew was
abducted, apparently. The conversation ends with the farmer heading towards
a different bar in search of a nephew. Break the poor farmer's only rule by
climbing on top of the hay stack. It seems George is just a little short of
the wall.
 
Go a little left of the crack in the wall and thrust the manhole remover into
the wall. With the extra step George has no problem scaling the wall. At the
top, a goat guards the excavation ladder. Walk around the lower half of the
screen to the western part of the area. Try to use the black plow on that
side of the area and George will move it over to the goat. After the goat
rams George he'll get tangled up in the plow. Good job.
 
Descend via the ladder to the excavation area. Go to the eastern part of the
room and take the Plaster of Paris. This stuff will be really handy in the
future. Once you have the plaster, walk over to the ladder and move the
statue, which is on the ground a little north of it. Move it another time and
George will find a couple holes in the ground.
 
Drop the plaster into the holes in an attempt to make a mold. To finish
making the mold, squeeze some water from the towel you soaked in the bar.
This will make a perfect mold. After picking the mold up, insert it into the
wall a little north of the statue (near the door) and the door will magically
open. Enter the door to see what Peagram had recovered.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.3  -  Paris II
=============================================================================
 
After the cutscene, you'll be back at Nico's house. If you forgot to turn the
water off in the cellar, George will have a terrible night because he had to
help get the water out. (^_^) After some talk about everything George found,
you're off to do the dirty work once again while Nico lounges in her
comfortable appartment.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Back to the police station, the most southern dot.
 
--------------
Police Station
--------------
 
Talk to Moue (our best friend) at the counter of the police station. He'll
tell you everything about Marquet without any fuss, amazingly. It seems he is
at the hospital, and is also know as "Marquet the Mole." Moue won't tell you
why, however. I guess you have to bake some donuts for him. Anyway, once you
have exhausted the conversation options, head back to the world map.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
The new dot on the map, located below the northern black dot, is the
hospital.
 
--------
Hospital
--------
 
Try to open the door to the ambulance - George will almost faint. Open the
clinic door, which is to the left of the amulance. This is one happenin'
muse- err... Hospital. Wow, this place is almost like Versailles! Gold walls,
walls of glass, all kinds of plants, and extravagant chandeliers! Anyway,
talk to the guy at the entrance dressed in white.
 
It seems respective doctors wear white bathrobe to work. Doctor Felix isn't
very respective, though. He won't permit passage to Marquet, that son of a
monkey's uncle! Additionally, Felix won't tell you who checked him in or
anything. Basically, he's a complete waste of time.
 
Now it's time to talk to the receptionist. Her name is Elsa and she's a big
help. If you want a funny response, tell her that you're Marquet's long lost
brother. Of course, she won't believe you (George needs to work on his Irish
accent). However, if you flash her the electrican card, she'll let you see
him. Apparently, he wants to see the guy on the card.
 
This little card is becoming more useful by the second! Just your luck; it
seems that Nurse Grendel -- the lady who looks over Marquet's room -- is a
witch that runs a tight ship! She'll give you long directions that no one
would ever remember. Talk about the clown and she'll comment on a bear in an
old suit that comes to entertain the kids every Thursday.
 
With all this in mind, walk northwest of the desk to a new area. In here,
you'll see a janitor making Versailles look even more prettier by polishing
the floor. Talk to him to learn about Mr. Shiny, the superhero vacuum with
super uber powers! The game stereotypes janitors here -- crazy, obsessive
people who don't know anything. Sam fits this image perfectly.
 
You can unplug Mr. Shiny's power at the other hallway if you're a cruel
person. Ha, that was fun! Anyway, walk into the room in the southwest part of
the area to find Grendel. She's a big let down because she won't let George
speak to Marquet, even though he came all the way from California. At least
he's working his American accent now.
 
Back outside the ward, go over to Sam and try to open the door west of him.
It seems that important contents are inside the door. So, if there is
important stuff in the door than that means we must have to obtain it. Go
over to the adjacent hallway to the west and unplug Mr. Shiny. When Sam gives
the little man life again, walk over to the door and George will take a
doctor's outfit out of the closet.
 
Hah, we were just laughing at Felix's white bathrobe and now we have to wear
one. That's ironic, isn't it? At any rate, head back to Grendel's ward and
her short term memory loss will kick in. She'll think you're a doctor and
give you a blood pressure device. Exhaust all the options of conversation to
find out where Marquet resides.
 
Try to go southeast to Marquet but Eric, a patient, will stop you. George
will fluff off taking Eric's blood pressure but he'll still call you every
time you try to get to Marquet. Too bad George doesn't know how to take
someone's blood pressure! Couldn't he just wing it?
 
Bleh. Anyway, go back to the entrance and talk to Felix again. He doesn't
recognize you, either, and thinks you're a prestigous doctor. So prestigous,
in fact, that he allows Bunny, a new doctor, to follow you around and see
what you do. Take this mission and walk back to the Ward.
 
Inside, arm Benoir (the Bunny dude) with the blood pressure device and tell
him to use it on Eric. With Eric distracted, you can finally get through to
Marquet's door. Talk to the guard, first, to find out that Marquet has
anthrax. I guess it was "big" when this game first came out. Finally, go
inside Marquet's room.
 
For an almost dead guy, Marquet sure spills the beans on everything. George,
being the smooth talker he is, persuades Marquet with the help of the gem.
You have to deliver the gem to "grand master," according to Marquet. After
you learn a few more things, another Doctor will enter the room and tell you
to kindly leave.
 
Outside, Benoir comes to the realization that the doctor was an imposter!
Marquet eats it, and the officer breaks the door down with his spider-man
powers. Inside, everything is dead or gone.
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
Spill everything to Nico and she'll give you a funny remark about people
disguising themselves as doctors. Well, George did it, too. Anyway, George
brings up some new information - he states that the imposter had fish eyes.
Whoa. Talk about everything else (besides the manuscript, of course) and opt
to leave the apartment.

Crune Museum, now, which is the southwestern dot.
 
------------
Crune Museum
------------
 
After walking inside the museum, Goinfre will inform you that the museum will
be closing soon. Boo! Now we're going the haunted, eery approach as
apparently some kid died in the museum. Anyway, it's finally time to talk to
the highly acclaimed Andre Lobineau.
 
This guys probably the most knowledgable person you've come across in the
entire game. He dates the Hashish-word (whatever it is) back to the eleventh
century, and proceeds to bore everyone. He tells a story of the Assassins and
basically how they operate. After this, talk about Montfaucon to learn where
it's located.
 
Continue talking to Andre and he'll continue his intelligence streak. Though
he doesn't know anything about Peagram, he does know that two people riding
the same horse symbolizes the Knights Templar. George will tell him to drop
by at Nico's if you press her option a couple times. He'll talk about the
Knights Templar for five frickin' minutes, so just hang in there.
 
Persuading Andre into giving you the tripod doesn't work, so it's time to
protect it the only way you really can. Go right of the tripod to an Egyptian
looking tomb. This is called a sarcophagus. This is the really tricky part.
You have to open the sarcophagus and get inside without Goinfre looking. This
might seem easy, but he can hear and it takes an amazingly long amount of
time for George to stuff himself inside a tomb.
 
Go over to the left of the windows. If you open the blinds, Goinfre will come
over and close them. Wait until Goinfre is two-third to the right on the
bottom half of the screen. When he starts walk over to the sarcophagus
(north) pull the blinds. Immediately start walking in his direction over to
the sarcophagus and stuff yourself inside the first chance you get. If you
did this correctly, George will get inside right after Goinfre closes the
blinds.
 
This takes a small bit of practice to accomplish, but you should get the hang
of it after a little while. It's all about timing it correctly so Goinfre is
walking to the sarcophagus. When you have that down, the walking and stuffing
part is pretty easy. Once you stash yourself inside the sarcophagus, Goinfre
will directly afterwards lock up.
 
Wow, it's dark. They gave the Museum a blue tint to it and called it night.
Anyway, our best friends, Guido and Flap, decide to show up. They will walk
up to the tripod and George will stupidly walk outside the tomb. When you
first see the option to hide behind the totem pole please do so. If you
don't, Guido and Flap will make mice meat out of you.
 
Once you hide behind the totem pole, the two gangsters will decide to leave.
However, George, trying to be a hero (or impress Nico) pushes the totem pole
in a last ditch attempt stop the two shady characters. Well, something drops
on George and he falls to the ground. After that, someone bungie jumps from
the ceiling and takes the tripod. Great.
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
Again, George's smooth talking and American innocence persuades Rosso to let
him go again. At Nico's Apartment, you shockingly find out that Nico stole
the tripod! The one time that she actually does something and she doesn't
tell you. What a wonderful girlfri- err... partner in crime.
 
Hah, Georgie. We should start calling her Nickie. Choose the gem option and
George will put the gem on the tripod. Sort of anticlimatical because nothing
happens. Oh well; George swipes both items, thinking it has to work in a
certain location. After a small chat about Andre, you're off to the races
again.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Time to play at the Montfaucon, which happens to be the most northeastern dot
on the map.
 
----------
Montfaucon
----------
 
It's... a clown. Before we engage in a heart-throbbing conversation with our
entertainment, opt to talk to the officer ensconced on a chair by the cafe.
Ha, what really did happen to duty? The officer likes to sit instead of help
traffic, amazingly.
 
In the second option the officer thinks you are carrying illegal substances.
But he doesn't have to make an arrest; it's just Plaster of Paris. Another
funny quip is when George flashes the gem. It's either the gem's glass or
George is a madman. ^_^
 
The tripod, sadly, yields no funny result. Go talk to the clown and George
will start the conversation with: "Hey! You with the balls." Americans.
Anyway, exhaust all of the clown's conversation options. He's an artiste, and
not a juggler. Another funny excerpt in reference to juggler's being
important in the past: "...Thank God we've go Chuckles the Jongler to throw
his balls around."
 
Haha, that was pretty funny. I don't know how much information we'll get out
of the clown, though, if we mock him. After a failing attempt to juggle three
balls (not the ones you're thinking of), it's time to get a critique from
Gendarme. After a short conversation, go back to the clown.
 
Try to juggle again and George will use his "secret weapon." The crowd will
roar with laughter and the clown will turn into a mime. He'll also collect
his balls (yes) and make a serious walk for it. Gendarme will also have an
epiphany and decide to go somewhere. Probably the donut shop...
 
Now that the black manhole that the clown was standing is vacant, opt to open
it with T-shaped tool that you have used so many times in the past.
 
--------------------
Montfaucon Catacombs
--------------------
 
Cross the plank of a bridge over to the eastern area of the catacombs. From
here, you should see three arches and a boat. After toying with the boat,
check all three arches. The most southern arch is in worse condition than the
other two, according to George.
 
When you are hinted off like that, what do you think you have to do? Take out
the trusty T-shaped tool and it's time for some baseball practice. Today, we
practice batting. After bashing in the wall, George will discover a lever.
Flip it and the door will open just a little ways. Not enough for George (who
happens to be a skinny American) to get through, though.
 
Go over to the boat and George will automatically put the rope on the door.
After cranking the wheel on the boat, it's time to enter the secret room.
With the background, it would seem we are in a cave. Walk a little north to
yellow light and it's showtime.
 
It would be great if we knew what the heck these five people are talking
about. Gibberish after gibberish of people that we don't even know. However,
little by little, the people seem to seep into your brain. And the end wraps
things up that didn't make sense quite nicely. They will leave in the boat.
 
Walk down the stairs and to the area the people were talking in. Examine the
circular area that they were standing on and George will read the latin part.
After that, place the tripod and gem on the stump in the middle (in that
order) and the gem will make five awesome light rays. The rays hit letters on
the circular area and make out "Marib." Coolio.
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
George seems to have this all thought out; they killed Plantard because he
was going to find the sword. Nico knows about Marib, which is a small village
in Syria. How she knows it's a small village in Syria, I don't know. Maybe
she's reading tons of books while you're out spying on bad guys and trying to
kill gangsters?
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
It's time to blow this popsicle stand and explore the unknown. Go to the
northeastern corner of this map to get to the world map. From here, go to the
southeastern dot. This is Marib, Syria.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.4  -  Syria
=============================================================================
 
-----
Marib
-----
 
This place looks oddly like Agrabah in Aladdin. Must be a coincidence.
Anyway, talk to the boy by the shop at the entrance. Nejo's sort of an
entertainment buff so (naturally) he doesn't know much about the Templars.
He's a good swindler, though. After chatting it up with the local, walk to
the eastern part of the area and exit through the doorway.
 
In this small area, go to the (d)rug dealer and talk to him. He seems a
bit... odd. Open up your item and show him the matches. He'll take them and
move one of his rugs to reveal a doorway. George will automatically enter and
engage in conversation with the guy at the counter.
 
Apparently, this place is the Alamut Club. Try to open the door in the
eastern corner of this room. It's the toilet room (huh?) and you can't go in.
From here, quiz Ultar, the manager at the counter, about everything. It seems
that the brush for the toilet was stolen, and everyone has to use their
superior willpower until it is given back. But hey, you can always use
Ultar's deluxe bucket!
 
If you flash him the picture of Khan, he will know exactly who he is.
Apparently, Khan went through here yesterday asking for "Stobbie." It's later
clarified as "Stobbart," which is George's last name. Uh-oh. He also states
that Khan went to Bull's Head Hill. Well, if Khan went there then that must
mean you have to do the same.
 
But first, we have to find Ultar's long lost toilet brush and get some money
to pay for the ride to the Hill. Go back to the rug (not drug) dealer and
back to the entrance of Marib. By the doorway you should see a man dressed in
red. If you try to talk to him (whose name is Arto) George will find out the
"horrific truth"; the man is basting things with the friggin' toilet brush.
Ewwww!
 
Walk back to Nejo and talk about Arto. He'll help you if you give him the
red ball. After agreeing, Nejo will say that if you are polite to Arto he
will hand over the brush. After George memorizes the words, walk back over to
Arto and choose to chant the words. Arto will run you off his area.
 
Trudge back to Nejo and really give it to him. However, you will find out
that Nejo swiped Arto's brush while he was chasing you. Good man, that Nejo.
Always smarter, quicker, and more quick-witted than the other bunch in this
area. With the brush in hand, walk back to the Alamut Club.
 
After giving the brush to Ultar, he'll just walk off with no "thanks" or
anything. However, he'll give you the keys to the restroom. It's time to go
rest, apparently. Use the keys on the eastern door to enter the restroom. In
here, you need to get two items.
 
The first is a towel. By the water faucet you'll find a box that is the towel
dispenser. It seems that you need a key to open it, however. Good thing that
Ultar threw all the keys at you. After using the key, take the towel out of
the dispenser. The second item can be found in the stall. Try to use the
chain over the toilet and George will yank it off.
 
Now that we have both of these items, exit to the entrance of Marib, which is
the marketplace. In this area, go over to Nejo's stand and pet the black cat
of one of the shelfs. The cat will jump up onto a statue. When you first have
control of George ring the bell that is near Nejo on the stand. Nejo's father
will walk outside and the cat will break the statue.
 
Pick up the remaining piece of the statue on the ground. We have to stretch
this statue out fifty dollars worth, sadly. Combine the statue and
greasepaint (the blue cloth you got in the sewers) together to make a cool
looking statue. And that's all that counts when selling stuff, right?
 
With the statue talk to the fat guy that wanders around this area. He stands
out pretty obviously from the background. When you find him, choose the
statue options and he'll offer fifty bucks. George, obviously, will take it,
though I think he could of gotten a little more out of it.
 
Cool, we have the money! With it, we can get to Bull's Head Hill in the safe
environment of an air-conditioned taxi. Go back to the Alamut Club and tell
Ultar the "good news." Agree to the payment and you'll automatically walk
back to the entrance of Marib.
 
In this area, go north on the eastern side of the area to meet up with Ultar
and his taxi. Sadly, the fan belt for the ta- err... truck has taken it upon
itself to break. The really funny part, though, is when Ultar responds with
the time being "One day, maybe six." Give the towel to Ultar (it's a
conversation option) and you'll be off to Bull's Head Hill.
 
----------------
Bull's Head Hill
----------------
 
Hey, we're in the desert now! Walk over to the cliff and you should see a
dead tree. George will break a branch of the tree; this should prove very
useful. Combine the branch and the half towel (from Ultar) together to make a
stick-towel! Whee!
 
Now it's time to put this new device to good use. Walk about four steps east
from the tree and you'll hit a crack. Use the stick-towel to make an anchor
and go down the ledge. In this small area, go north passed the ledge shadow
to find a small hole in the wall. Try to use it and George will stick his
hand inside.
 
Well, there is a metal ring of some sort, so put your hand in again. George
will exclaim that it did something, but to what it did, I don't know. Maybe
it opened the doorway in the ledge shadow to the right of the hole? Go inside
this secret area and you'll meet Klausner.
 
He's not very proactive, is he? The door will slam behind you and, sadly,
you'll be locked in. Good job, Georgie! Examine the statue next to Klausner
but nothing will happen - not a single death trap. I guess Klausner just fell
apart next to it.
 
Speaking of Klausner, search him for a key item. George has searched two dead
guys in this game already! With the lens in hand, look west of Klausner to
find an inscription of some sort. Stupidly, George didn't bring a notebook or
camera, so he has to try and memorize the inscription. Then the door will
open and all hell will break loose.
 
Khan has you point-blank with a gun... so will Nico bungie jump from the sky
and kill him? Sadly, she is settled in her cozy apartment, probably watching
a sitcom of some kind. Anyway, it's time to answer Khan. First, I'd like to
say that there are several ways to do this correctly, but I'll just list the
one that I did.
 
First, tell him the truth by selecting the "Angel George" option. He'll
believe you, oddly enough. In the second option, choose "Angel George" again. 
George will smooth talk his way out of this one, stating that the lens might
break if he shoots you. For the third option, tell the truth again. Khan will
accidently slip something of Caesar.
 
...and also say that he'll have to kill you. Great. Choose to "die like a
man," which is the second option. It obviously isn't the first with George
ducking like a coward. Khan will admire you and ask to shake your hand.
Select the second option, which is to shake his hand with the buzzer. George
will stun Khan, punch him in the gut, and jump off the cliff. Suicidal.

Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
...luckily, the canopy on Ultar's truck breaks your fall. Ha, I even thought
you were a goner! Once George states that he has the lens Nico seems really
happy to see him. The best part here, though, is that you can give Nico the
bathroom chain you acquired in Syria. Even though she comments on it being a
little "heavy," George sells her by saying: ethnic craftsmanship at its most
rustic! And we're off.

With no place to go we have to find a lead. Go to Crune Museum. If you don't
know where that is by now god help you.
 
------------
Crune Museum
------------
 
Enter the museum and talk to Andre. Hah, he refers to the manuscript as
"sexy" and Georgie thinks he's talking about Nico. It seems that the map
wants you to go to Spain now. The suit of armor is from the Vasconcellos
family, which must be Spanish.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
Head to the "world world map" via the northeast corner. On it, go to Spain,
which is the most southwestern dot.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.6  -  Spain
=============================================================================
 
--------------
House Exterior
--------------
 
That gardner is spraying the same area over and over... odd. Talk to him and
he'll be a little "pissy" towards you. Interesting, the French are all nice
people while the first person in Spain tells you off. His name is Lopez, and
he doesn't answer any of your questions. Just say no when it comes to the
lottery, the Countess doesn't do that sort of stuff.
 
So, the gardner obviously isn't going to help you. Looks like you'll have to
get in by force. Or intelligence. Walk west across the entire screen to the
beginning of the hose's slack. A hose should be outlined on the ground, so
just follow that. When you reach the end, use the blood pressure device to
stop the hose. That will teach Lopez!
 
He'll run inside to figure out the problem, leaving the door wide open for
you to enter. Lopez states that he'll sick the dogs on you if you enter, but
we need to see that Countess! Enter the house in the same door Lopez entered.
 
--------------
House Interior
--------------
 
Inside, go down the hallway north of you to get Lopez's attention. Directly
afterwards, though, hide behind the suit of armor, which is near the stairs.
Once Lopez is gone, go up the stairs to find the Countess. George will
explain the situation to the Countess and she'll let you sit down.
 
Talk about the Knight Templars and George will ask about all the "medevil"
stuff she has. After some thought, the Countess exclaims that the chess set
is very old. However, a couple pieces are missing from the set - a sure sign
that you have to find these pieces.
 
George seems to play chess because he can see an irregular base on the
pieces. Lopez walks in and gets owned by the Countess. Next, the gang walks
outside and opens the mausoleum.
 
---------
Mausoleum
---------
 
Odd name, no? After some chat about when the mausoleum was built, you're off
to look for clues. Immeditately go over to the statue and open the cover
under it to find a checkerboard. After checking that out, converse with the
Countess about everything.
 
Yes, everything. She'll straighten you out about the Templars, and then we
get to the clues. It seems that the knights were "dedicated" to Virgin Mary,
the statue that you just looked at. After that, talk about the checkerboard.
After a small revelation, it's time to take a peak at the checkerboard again.
 
The Countess becomes eager, bordering eccentric. While we're waiting for that
unintelligent manservant Lopez to arrive, talk about the Templars again to
learn about Don Carlos. Sad, sad story, but it probably ties in with
everything else in some way.
 
Hah, even the Countess trusts you now! But we have arrived at a hit-and-miss
part of the game. You have to arrange the pieces in a certain way to continue
in the game. So, first, put the bishop (round tower) at the very top. Second,
put the knight (he has a shield) in the direct middle, two squares below the
bishop. Finally, put the king (guy with the cross) directly under the knight. 
 
With all the pieces in place, something will open in the room! It's... it's
the Communion Chalice! But what the heck is that? It doesn't matter because
it's been missing for seven hundred years, so it must be of some importance.
Hehe, we have the Countess get the item first, to avoid any deathtraps!

----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
It seems George has the hots for a withered old Spanish aristocrat! And I
figured he liked Nico, silly me! Talk about the chalice (the first option)
and Nico continues her suspicion about George's relationship with the
Countess. You can return the argument with a little suspicion about Andre
(^_^) and then it's time to go.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
So where are we going to find a church? The Montfaucon, of course! It's the
most northeastern dot on the map.
 
----------
Montfaucon
----------
 
The return of the Gendarme! He's undercover as an indolent, wine guzzling
police officer. P'zang! You'll also learn about "Sewer Jacques," an urban
legend! Go inside the Church, which is to the east. I wonder why a CLOWN was
performing in front of the Church. That just rubs me the wrong way.
 
------
Church
------
 
Talk to the Priest, who stands out distinctively because he's white, has a
white beard, and a white tabard. Talk about the stained glass, which yields
little results in the form of clues. Talking about the two priests won't be
very interesting, either.
 
However, if you talk about the Chalice, the priest will see some writing on
it. How the Countess, Lopez, George, and Nico didn't see it, I don't know.
Agree to let him polish the chalice (you can chase down and tackle an old man
if he runs) and he'll start polishin'.
 
To the east of the priest is a big statue. Inspect it twenty times and George
will finally take a peak inside the scroll to see a stained glass window.
You'll get no clues from it, sadly. But if you put the lens on one end of the
scroll, it will fit like a glove.
 
That must mean something! Take another peak inside the scroll to find a
different picture. Neat-o! George will remember a date (the lack of a notepad
scares me again) and we're done with the statue. The priest must be done
polishing, so converse with him again.
 
Talk to him about the newly polished chalice; a coat of arms is on it and not
writing. Chat about the scroll and the priest will decipher the latin words.
The stained glass window of a burning man, it seems, is seen by some in this
haunted place. Spooky!
 
After exhausting all the conversations it's time to follow through on all the
priest's hints. To the north on the wall you'll see two tombs. Inspect the
right tomb to see the same coat of arms as the Countess's. After George
memorizes a bunch of gibberish, it's time to leave.
 
---------
World Map

Back to the museum we go!
 
------------
Crune Museum
------------
 
Yes, Andre is permanently stationed at the museum. Talk to him about the
statue you saw in Syria (why didn't George ask him before?) to find out it
might be Baphomet - the idol described by the Templars! Yeah, I couldn't
think of another way to say that, so I just took it from the game. And how be
danged, the Baphomet statue was birthed right here in Paris, at some long
French-named place.
 
---------
World Map
---------
 
It's the most western dot. Oddly, there are two, so it's the more north one.
 
----------------
Site of Baphomet
----------------
 
Another extravagant place! Talk to the painter at the entrance to find out
he's a little "shady." He'll tell you about the dig, though, and that some
even more shady people entered the excavation site. I wonder who they are?
The painter is very protective of his paint pot, so you can't touch it. If
you try to look through the dumpster, he'll tell you to get lost.
 
Bah, forget the painter. Go downstairs to find some shady (!!) characters
guarding the door. Talk to the guard but he'll evade everything. Try to enter
the restroom opposite of the guard but it's locked. I guess they are digging
up waste there, too.
 
Talk to the guard about the toilet and he'll remarkably give you the key to
unlock the restroom door. I guess they aren't digging up waste like I
thought. Use the keys to enter the bathroom. This bathroom *does* look like
it's been dug through.
 
If you select the toilet, George will remember the good old days in Syria
when he vandalized and looted the restroom in the club. Well, that's sort of
what we're going to do here. Turn on the water and George will automatically
take the soap bar.
 
With the soap in hand, combine it with the keys to make... a key imprint!
Whoa, I think we're on to something, Sherlock! Now combine the Plaster of
Paris with the soap imprint to make a soap bar with a key imprint that is
filled with plaster! Put the soap bar under the water to mix it with the
plaster; George will automatically dry it with the hand-dryer device in this
room.
 
With the fake key, exit the bathroom and talk to the guard. Give him back his
keys and walk back up the stairs to the painter. Try to dip the key into the
paint pot but the painter will have none of it. Uggh... stupid fat painter!
Walk back downstairs to the guard and use the phone near the restroom door to
call Nico.
 
George's plan is to have Nico distract the painter on the phone while he does
the finishing touches on the key. It would work even better if Nico wore
something slutty and came over to the site, but we're not complaining. Go
back to the exterior and tell the painter about the phone call.
 
Haha: "She asked for 'that hunk of man with the nicotine fingers and his ass
hanging out of his pants.'" George will probably die for this, but meh. With
the painter gone, dip the key in the paint pot. The key now looks like a
normal key but, sadly, doesn't feel like a normal key. Walk back downstairs
and see how the phone sex is going.
 
The painter will remark that the woman was "all over him" and suddenly it was
"nothing but abuse." The latter sure sounds like Nico. Talk to the guard and
ask for the bathroom again. George will dismiss the guard's suspicions saying
that he doesn't want to get "technical."
 
Open the bathroom door with the keys. Inside here, put the fake key on the
ring in place of the real key. Once done, exit to the guard's room. We still
have the problem with the "feel" of the fake key that we must resolve before
we can trade off the key to the guard.
 
On the same wall as the excavation door you should see a bronze spot. Walk up
to it and examine it (don't press the use button) to find out it is a
thermostat. Talk to the guard about this and he'll say he must keep it warm
in here. He has gloves if it gets too cold.
 
This is our loophole; if we can get the guard to wear the gloves, he can't
feel the key! Walk back over to the thermostat and turn it off. George will
wait and the guard will put his gloves on! Eureka! Now you can give the guard
the fake key - with the gloves and paint he won't know it's made of plaster!
 
Ring up Nico again on the same phone that you used to distract the painter.
Hah, Nico won't even repeat what she said to the painter - it must have been
really bad! George will think of another good idea that involves the guard
and the painter. When the guard goes up to get the painter, the two get in a
big argument. This is your chance to enter the excavation site! Remember to
use the key...
 
---------------
Excavation Site
---------------
 
Examine the planks to the right of the door but George won't find any use for
them. Take the ladder to descend to the lower part of the excavation site.
Look at the ground first to see an odd pattern. Getting to business, walk a
little north of it to find the Baphomet statue! Set the Chalice on the odd
pattern south of the Baphomet statue and it's show time.

Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
Back here, you can pry on the matter of Andre. It seems Nico met him in
college and he hasn't changed much since. Choose to leave and George will
mumble your new mission to give the Chalice back to the Countess.

World Map

Head to the Europe Map and go back to Spain.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.8  -  Spain II
=============================================================================
 
Talk to that crackhead gardner Lopez again. He'll be in the same spot
watering the same area over and over. He'll give you a much needed apology
and say that you have restored the life in the Countess - she laughs and
smiles now! Well, if George really liked the Countess, he'll be happy now...
 
Talk about Don Carlos to find out a little more of the story. Once done, walk
inside the mansion. Naturally, the Countess is upstairs, so take the stairs
to the second floor. Yep, she's in her normal place. Walk around the chairs
and talk to her.
 
It's almost like she's on ecstacy when she first sees you. George will
proudly put the Chalice on the mantle and the Countess will be even more
delighted to find out that he cleaned it. She'll start to talk about the
knights but George will just say "Whatever." I guess he doesn't like her
after all.
 
Choose the Chalice conversation option and the Countess will be very pleased
to find out you found Don Carlos' tomb. Continue by talking about the
biblical references, which George memorized solidly. After some serious
discussion about the missing children, you're off to find the unknown.
 
Downstairs, walk west of the stairs to a little utility room. Pilfer the
Mirror (this is Lopez's retribution) and walk outside. Go to the northeast
corner of the grass and enter the Mausoleum outer area. Walk up to the door
and enter. Inside, pilfer the bible under Virgin Mary and exit the Mausoleum.
 
With the bible in hand, head back to the Countess. Choose the bible in the
chat option with her and we'll get to the clues.
 
"Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt
compass me about with songs of deliverance."
 
"The well is deep."
 
"Will bring to light the hidden things."
 
"Save me from the lion's mouth: for thou hast heard me from the horns of the
unicorns."
 
These clues are pretty convincing. Even though the Countess has lived here
her all life she doesn't know if there is a well on campus. Odd. Back to
Mausoleum we go! In here, go over to the right of the statue and you see a
small pole. Use the greasepaint on the pole and George will light the pole
and the candle in the middle of the room.
 
It will blow out, though, sadly. Go a little west and you should get an
option up on the open window. George will close the window with the pole when
you select it. With the window closed, use the now red greasepaint on the
pole again and George will light the candle in the center of the room
(again). This time, however, the candle will burn completely out.
 
A key-looking thing will be obtained from this exchange. With it, walk back
to the Countess and talk about it. She'll be mad because it is irreplacable,
but later forgive you because this mystery shakes her very soul. Exit to the
outside of the mansion and have a little chat with Lopez.
 
Talk about the candle key and he'll be a little mad. He won't be mad about
you swiping his mirror, though, which is the second option. In the third
option, George will ask about the hidden well. Yes, Lopez *knows* about it,
but he doesn't know where it is.
 
Keep on talking about the well and Lopez will get the stick idea. He'll point
to a hazel tree but there isn't ONE Y-shaped stick in the bunch! Go back over
to Lopez and follow his hose until it reaches the wall. To the right of the
wall is a suitable hazel stick.
 
Run back over to Lopez and ask him how to use the divine rod. After some
instructions, George will automatically use this technique to search the
area. It takes a while, but he finally finds a... a TIN CAN! EUREKA! George
will be more than a little pissed off and Lopez will throw the can only to
find the well! If Lopez had watered more than one area he might have known
the well resides there...
 
-----------
Hidden Well
-----------
 
Well, down here, one of our clues comes in handy. See the lion door to the
east? Inspect it to see a loose fang. Try to use it and jump to the left when
you can. If you don't, the door will squash you and George will be toast.
Yeah, you *should* save it right about now...
 
Walk back over to the rope and use the mirror on the bright wall next to it.
George will flash the mirror around and find a small gap in the wall. Back
over at the lion door's darkness, put the weird key (that we got at the
mausoleum) inside the gap and it will open up a door that you should enter.
Inside... George will find... bleh.
 
Being the nice guy he is, George will give the old chess piece to the
Countess, tell her the atrocious news, and leave.
 
=============================================================================
                              2.9  -  Paris V
=============================================================================
 
----------------
Nico's Apartment
----------------
 
Andre likes the couch better than the chair. I would, too. George will recite
their adventure to Andre. The best line is: "One of the few places where
nobody tried to kill me." George will continue to talk about all the places
he almost got killed and Nico will break it up.
 
Amazingly, Andre is a huge help. He'll recall a battle in 1314 where the
Knights Templar helped some Scottish people win a big battle. So, we're off
to a church in Bannockburn! Even better, we get to share a seat with Nico
exclusively!
 
=============================================================================
                              2.10 -  Train
=============================================================================
 
A good time to save, by the way. Anyway, do the only thing available right
now, which is to try and leave the box car. Nico will stop you, however,
asking what you're doing. After George acts like a little kid, Vail, the
ticket man, will arrive and ask for tickets.
 
After chatting it up, he'll leave and George will say that the man is
peculiar to him. Try to exit again and Nico will tell you to get her some
food. In the boxcar view, go west all the way to another screen. It's...
Guido! The return of the gangsters!
 
It will also hit George that the conductor is Eklund, Marquet's killer.
Immediately go back to the boxcar view and run back to your car. Nico and the
old lady will both be gone! Go back to the boxcar view and enter the adjacent
room to the west.
 
Inside, talk to the guy in the black and white uniform. He's drunk so he
won't know anything but say that he'll fight anyone that tries to hurt you.
In this same car, open the window and Basher will think that you are trying
to jump! I'd think he would before us! Jump up to the top of the train.
 
Do not touch the metal wiring on the left side of the car. You'll feel all
kinds of pain if you do. Save the game here and exit to the east of the car.
At the roof of this car go to the center and down into the cars. Wow, that
lady must know karate!
 
The first chance you get, press the use button to hit the gangster of the
ground. You'll find out that the old lady is none other than Khan! He'll say
that we were always on the same side as him and had a common enemy. He'll
mostly talk in riddles, though.
 
Talk about Bull's Head Hill and he'll say it was a long walk back. End the
conversation and he will almost say something before he dies. Great, he can
talk about some stupid hill, but when it comes to the real stuff he goes and
dies on us! Untie Nico and George will kiss her. Ahh, what a good talker that
George is! Now it's time to jump off the train...
 
=============================================================================
                              2.11 -  Britain
=============================================================================
 
Hey... we got some C-Four, that's waaaay better than a gun! Yep, sure is.
Khan's handbag sure packs a punch! Enter the church and search the pile of
stuff in the center of the room. In all, search it four times to find a pipe,
coin, cog, and pen top, respectively.
 
Look at the demon statue to the east a few times. After that, look at the
panel to the right of the statue. It doesn't move, suprisingly. Walk a little
north of the statue and try to pull the lever. George, being a klutz, will
break the handle. That's a good thing, though, because if you check the place
where the lever was you'll get another cog and a spindle.
 
Put both cogs in the eyes of the demon statue. I guess that was why it didn't
have any eyes. We still have one thing to put in the statue, however. Put the
broken lever right in the demon's mouth. George will turn it and the door
will open. Pretty cool how Nico figured that out...
 
Enter the new doorway and try to take one of the torches off the wall. Nico
will correct you, however, talking about gunpowder. At any rate, go northeast
and try to enter the new area. Nico and George will both here chanting and
it's time for the game's biggest cutscene.
 
"Finally, the truth. The Templars had never worshipped this graven image, no
more than they'd worship a rainbow. But, like a rainbow they regarded it as a
symbol of a covenant with God, who'd revealed this place to them."
 
OMGWTFBBQROSSO! Grand Master (err... it's hard to refer to him as that) will
try to recruit George but he's just too smart now. His biggest motivation to
turn down the Grand Master, though, is probably Nico. They will start to run
and meet up with their best friend.
 
Yes, that's right, it's Guido. When you first get the chance, throw the torch
in the gunpowder. However, the stuff is over three hundred years old, so you
got to wonder if it's going to make a bang or not. It doesn't, but Nico
remembers what she has in her handbag. That's right, the person you stalked
and thought was your enemy (and who is now dead) pulls through as Nico throws
the explosives in the fire.
 
Amazingly, they don't go off right away. Even more amazingly, all the other
bad guys don't run outside. The thing goes bang when the twosome are a safe
distance away and then it's credits time. Thanks for playing!

                            3.2  -  Characters
=============================================================================
 
Characters are very important in any mystery. Yes, I am a keen observer of
the obvious. They are listed in chronological order, by the way.
 
Clown: He's supposedly the guy that killed a man and took his briefcase.
 
Waitress: She's in shock that the cafe exploded and a man died.

      throughout the entire game.
 
Nico: One of the biggest characters in the game, Nico spends most of her time
      at her apartment while you go out and find all the clues. When it gets
      to the hard stuff, though, calling Nico is always a good thing. George
      has the hots for Nico, but who doesn't?
 
Flobbage: The construction worker that is also a horce race fanatic.
 
Albert: The man that sees the clown in his house - he has the clown costume.
 
Plantard: The man that died in the explosion at the cafe.

      open the door to Nico's Apartment.

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars, known as Circle of Blood in the US, was developed by Charles Cecil of Revolution Software and released for Windows, PlayStation, and Game Boy Advance. This is the first in a series of Broken Sword games, spanning from 1996 to the latest one released in 2006. It has also been ported to the Palm OS by Astraware, and to the Wii and Nintendo DS. It was followed by Broken Sword II: The Smoking Mirror.

On March 21, 2009, Ubisoft released a special edition of Shadow of the Templars for the Wii and Nintendo DS. The special editions are extended versions of the original. Unlike in the original, players can play as Nico. The new ones include new puzzles designed specifically for each platform. The Wii version is titled Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars - The Director's Cut and features new character artwork during conversations and a new first person view for certain puzzles. Unlike the original game, the updated version also allows for multiple solutions to puzzles and a new co-operative mode for two players.

Story[edit]

Opening in the city of Paris, George Stobbart is enjoying his autumn vacation when he narrowly escapes an explosion outside of a café. Following the clues left behind by the killer, who is dressed as a clown, George discovers there is something much larger and more dangerous going on that stretches back in time as far as the Knights Templar. You play as George and enlist the help of a French journalist, Nicole Collard, to follow an intricate manuscript which points you in the direction of various locations such as Paris, Ireland, Syria, Spain and Scotland.

Gameplay[edit]

The Shadow of the Templars is a point-and-click adventure game where the player interacts with the environment to find clues in order to solve puzzles. The game features pre-rendered, animated sequences and a full voice acting cast, with the option of toggling text transcription of game dialogue on and off. A simple mouse interface is used in the Windows version, with context-sensitive cursor changes enabling multiple actions to be performed with a single click.
