    Cylinders

    Episode 03

    Episode 03

    Astrid won’t answer Louis’ questions until he has followed her trail. It starts with a cylinder in the Everetts’ mailbox, and each cylinder’s riddle leads to the next:

    The first sends him to a stump in the woods, where the second is buried. The second gives the combination of his own bedroom safe, where the third lies. The third sends him back to the foot of the mailbox, the first place, where the fourth is buried. The fourth is in the grip of the chimera in his shop. The fifth (“Eire is the key”) points to the globe in the lounge, where the sixth is hidden.

    The sixth points to the baby carriage of the woman outside the police station, where the locket is.

    What Louis says

    His lines when you examine it in the inventory, as the game writes them. Turning the 3D model over can give a line for its front and one for its back.

    • It’s a strange little metal cylinder with a rolled-up piece of paper inside.
      Let’s have a look...
    • Cylinder 1“In the middle of the forest, two cubits from the fallen King, the quest reveals itself.”
    • Cylinder 2“Seventy to port, ten to starboard, fifty to port and one hundred all sails up.”
    • Cylinder 3“At the foot of the first you will be back on the trail.”
    • Cylinder 4“The mysterious chimera will not let him go.”
    • Cylinder 5“Eire is the key.”
    • Cylinder 6“The path of revelation is in the hands of the nativity.”
