Dracula: Resurrection Walkthrough
=================================

This is the complete, game-spoiling walkthrough of Dracula:
resurrection. For those of you who have played Zork: Nemesis, the
interface is similar. This is one game where you do not need the
keyboard at all!

Please note that you can rotate 360 degrees and look up and down.

"Forward Arrow" - move forward
"Upside-down-U arrow" - to "back off" one screen
"2-gear symbol" - means that you can use an item from your inventory
here (whether you have it or not) "gear+hand symbol" - use/operate
object (no need items from inventory) "magnifying glass symbol" -
Examine/zoom in for closer look

-You cannot use one item (from inventory) on another item (from
inventory). i.e. you cannot/"don't have to" combine items in this
game.

You are Jonathan Harker. You supposed to find your wife Mina before its
too late. Relax, unlike Prince of Persia, you don't have to rush and
save your bride within a certain amount of time! So, just take your
time to familiarize yourself with your surroundings. I strongly
suggest you get used to the interface and how to navigate your way
around.

If you get lost trying to follow this walkthrough, it is very difficult
to get you back on track because there is no compass or other means to
get your bearings. So normally if there is a fork in the road I will
describe the direction of the path you have to face to go to, and
after that I'll describe the screen you'll be in after you have moved
to it. If that screen doesn't match my description then most likely
you have taken the wrong path, turn back and choose the other one. If
neither path matches my description, then you're probably playing a
different game! Just kidding.

Alright, no compass...and oh yes, the items in your inventory have no
descriptions on them (text/speech) so there might be some confusion
and to which "key" in the inventory I'm referring to, but if you
notice, the easiest way is to look at your inventory screen
(Right-click or press Tab). You will notice that your inventory has 20
item slots and each item has its own position on the "20 item wheel"
of your inventory. No doubt during later stages of the game other new
items will use the same inventory slots as items before, but it
doesn't matter. When I mention eg. (Item#12) It means the item which
you should have currently in inventory slot number 12.

So, numbering your items from the top-most item (North) and going
around clock-wise, you get the following items: For example, (I won't
list out all it'll spoil the fun!)

NOTE: to exit out of the inventory screen you must click on the
"Upside-down-U arrow" on the bottom-left to "back off" to the game
screen. (You can't press Esc)

Okay! After that long drive from London to Transylvania, you arrive
infront of this arch with the words "The golden crown" on it. In case
you're wondering why this is so is because pass this arch is the Inn
called "The golden crown". Duh! Anyway, don't approach the Inn yet,
because there is very little you can do there until you get certain
items first. So here's the more optimal route.

Note that if you are new at this interface then you might get a tiny
bit lost! But, never fear! I will use my verbose skills in long-winded
descriptions to guide you through it. (If you still can't find it,
tough! ..For me and you!)

Now, after all these words you should not have moved an inch! That's a
good thing. Now from this screen, (facing the arch) turn 180 degrees
around. You should see a snowy path (*duh! Its all snowy!) with a sign
at the far end (middle of screen) and the moon should be at the top
left corner of your screen. Your cursor should be an "Arrow", click to
go forward. Look at the sign (cursor-magnifying glass). The sign
pointing left says "PONS" and the one on the right "LACUS".

Now I know very few people can read/write Transylvanian but here's what
all the signs mean (in case you decide to do some exploring and end up
getting lost!)

PONS - refers to the bridge (with the "bum" warming his hands at the
barrel with fire) No, it doesn't describe all that in one word!
LACUS - refers to the lodge (not the "golden crown" Inn) (Its got a
"Beverly Hillbilly" at the front porch) CUEMETERIUM - refers to
the cemetery. (maybe they misspelled it? Nah!) CALVARIUM - refers to a
cross on a stone platform with a (yucky) crucified bird
on it. METALLUM - refers to the mine. AUREAL CORONAE CAUPONA - the
golden crown Inn.

Go down the path to the left (PONS). You should be looking down a path
facing the moon. Go forward again. You should be at the end of the
path and at a junction. Behind you there should be a signpost with a
lantern hanging on it and it has 2 directions (one to PONS and the
other to AUREAL CORONAE CAUPONA or "the golden crown" Inn) Note you
cannot zoom in to this sign. To the left of that, there is another
sign (you can zoom in to this one - its to the CUEMETERIUM) Go down
this path. You should now be facing another signpost. Examine it (Left
to CALVARIUM and right to CUEMETERIUM) Go left to CALVARIUM path. Go
forward again for 2 screens. You should be right up against a stone
platform with a cross sticking out of it the moon should be on the
top-left of your screen.

Now don't move (rotate your view or other wise) unless I tell you if
you find it hard navigating (I know its not that bad but just in case
your new at this!) turn to the left until moon is at top-right of
screen, click to go forward. Turn right until moon is at
top-middle-left of screen and go forward. Go forward again. Turn right
90 degrees and go forward. Now look DIRECTLY down, there is a
magnifying glass there! Just kidding. Click to zoom in to item on the
floor. It's a slingshot. Get it. (cursor-hand symbol). Back off one
screen (cursor-"Upside-down-U arrow")

If you right click and view you inventory you'll notice that the
slingshot is in item slot#2 (according to the way I number the items
on my list) I might refer to items as Item#2 eg. for the sligshot.

(NOTE: The following procedure is just a long-winded way of saying, "go
back the base of this stone platform" {Now turn back around 180
degrees and go forward. Turn 90 degrees left and go forward. Go
forward again. Turn about 45 degrees left you should be able to go
down. You're at the base of the platform.}

Turn 45 degrees right and go back down the path you came from (there's
only one). Go forward. Go forward. STOP! You should be at the signpost
(Left to CALVARIUM and right to CUEMETERIUM) Go right to CUEMETERIUM.
Go forward. Go forward. You should be at gates to cemetery (don't wet
yourself, there's no undead here!) Go forward. *HELP*!! Just kidding!
Go forward. Go forward.

Note 90 degrees to your left, there is a grave with a "hand holding a
dagger" sticking out of it, its got no significance whatsoever, I just
mentioned it so you'll know where you should be at this point. Now
face back the way you were going, and go forward you'll "hit" the
wall. Turn 90 degrees right and go forward. In the middle of the
screen there is a pickaxe (Item#5) Get it (cursor-hand symbol).

Turn 180 degrees and go forward. Turn 90 degrees left, go forward. Go
forward. Go forward. Turn 90 degrees left (90øL). You will notice a
"white energy cloud thingy in over a grave" to the right. Go forward.
Now, at this screen you might have to turn a little to the left before
going forward again. Now, turn (90øR). You'll see the "white energy
cloud thingy in over the grave" AND a picture/painting on the alcove
of the grave behind a grill, you can look at this if you like. Move
your cursor over the "white energy cloud thingy in over the grave"
Your cursor should be a "double-gear symbol" Use the pickaxe (Item#5)
on it. (Right-click, bring up inventory menu, click on pickaxe, cursor
changes to symbol of pickaxe with green circle around it. Click that
on it.) (cutscene)

Get the Dragon Ring (Item#3) (middle of screen). Back off one screen.
Turn (90øR). Go forward. Go forward. Turn (90øL) and go forward. Go
forward, (you might have to search for the "Arrow" a bit). Go forward.
You're back at signpost (L:CALVARIUM,R:CUEMETERIUM). Go forward (the
path neither sign points to). You should be at signpost (one to PONS
and the other to AUREAL CORONAE CAUPONA) Go down AUREAL CORONAE
CAUPONA path. Go forward.

So should be able to see the AUREAL CORONAE CAUPONA - the golden crown
Inn. So just walk up to the front door! (3 screens forward). You
should be at front door. Go in (forward). (cutscene) (cutscene,
Innkeeper talks to you)

Now turn 180ø and go forward. Turn (90øL) and talk to man sitting at
table (burn him with magnifying glass!). Now in case you're wondering
why this guy is sitting there, stiff as a board, and staring as if
you're fly was open, its because your looking at a still picture and
in order to talk to him you need to click on the dialogue options (the
icons on the right side of the screen) Click on all of them (one at a
time, of course!) to talk to him about all the above. (Each dialogue
is a cutscene) If you did not notice the icons on the right for the
dialogue, you'd probably think this guy died from a stroke while
drinking at the table! (After a dialogue has been chosen the icon will
have "rolled edges") Make sure you talk to him about everything you
have so far. Notice he's got 5 dialogue icons means there are only 5
topics/cutscenes this guy responds to.

NOTE: Btw, to skip any cutscene you can press [spacebar].

Get out of his face (back off one screen) and turn (90øL) and go 3
screens forward. You should be facing a big red cabinet. Turn (90øR)
and talk to Innkeeper. Turn (90øR) and go forward. Turn (90øR) and go
forward. Turn (90øR) and go forward (through door). You should be
looking at a grating in the wall near the floor with an unlit candle
in it. Turn (90øR) and go forward. Wow, that took you a grand total of
1-meter closer to the stairs! Go forward down the stairs (cutscene).
Go forward. Turn right and Examine cupboard door. Click on the lock
(cursor-"gear+hand symbol") to open it. Get the telescope (Item#16)
inside. Back off 2 screens. Click on stairs to the right. Go back up
stairs. Go forward 1metre. Go forward. Turn (90øL) and go forward.
Turn (90øL) and go forward. Turn (90øR) and go forward. Turn (90øL)
and go forward (to upstairs). Go forward/go upstairs. (cutscene). Keep
going forward 4 screens to your room (there's only one room down the
hall). Go in. Go 2 screens forward. Turn (90øL) and click on
chest-of-drawers to see what's in it (cursor-"gear+hand symbol").
Whoa! Jonathan seems to have other ideas! (cutscene, pushes
chest-of-drawers under the "trapdoor on the ceiling)

Turn (90øL) and go forward. Turn (90øR) and go forward (climb up
chest-of-drawers. There's a door knob (Item#8) infront of you, get it.
Turn (90øL) and look up (cursor-"2-gear symbol"). Use door knob
(Item#8) here. Open the trapdoor (cursor-"Arrow") and go up trapdoor.
Go forward. Use telescope (Item#16) on tripod stand on the floor
slightly to the left. Btw, just in case you're wondering what that
thing is hanging from the pulley, it's the sign for the golden crown
Inn (a heavy, rusty, cast-iron, crown). Turn 180ø and go forward. You
can inspect the hole in the wall above the trapdoor if you like. Go
back down the trapdoor.

Get off the chest-of-drawers (turn (45øR) and go forward). Go back out
of your room through the same door you came in (the other door is
inaccessible right now). Go down the hall, down the stairs and out the
front door.

Okay you should be just outside the Inn again (facing the moon). Go
forward 3 screens.

You're at junction with 2 signs (L:PONS,R:LACUS) Go down LACUS path.
You're at 2 signs (L:LACUS,R:METALLUM) Go down LACUS path. Go forward
(you might have to turn a bit left). You're at a path outside the
lodge, but IF you try to step on his porch the "Beverly Hillbilly w/o
shotgun" tell you to leave. Instead, from here (you shouldn't have
moved), turn (90øR) and face the other "dug-out-snow path", go
forward. Turn (90øL), go forward. You should be infront of the lodge
with a ladder on your right. Go forward (on the ladder) (cutscene)
Now, see the birds flying in the distance to your right? Use your
