Introduction
============
This is the complete walkthru of the game noctropolis.  I played this game many years ago,
and I enjoyed it a lot (esp. Stiletto).  I haven't played the game for a long time and I
probably won't in the future either.  How do I write this walkthru then, well it's mostly
based on the walkthru of Wout Delen (PcGameplay), who wrote a dutch walkthru for the game.
I just translated most parts and made some additions here and there to clarify some things.

If you have to say something, I'll give you a number.  Pick the sentence wich matches the
number.

I urge you not to mail me with any questions you might have, since I probably can't solve
them anymore myself and I'm not going to replay the whole game.


The Real World
==============

The Bookstore
-------------
Look at all the stuff in the store and then open the door.  Take the papers on an under the
desk (don't forget the papers in the corner (down/right).  Take the magazine from the little
table.  You'll have a dream.  Read the comic. (cutscene)  After you wake up, the doorbell 
will ring.  Open the front door and say this:
   
  2 - 1 - 4

Look at the package and take it. Now use the silver coin. Now you can go to NOCTROPOLIS.


Noctropolis
===========

Main Street
-----------
Go to the newspaper vendor and answer his questions with:

  1 - 2

Now trade your comic for a news paper.  Now you can ask some questions.  Ask about father
Desmond and the cathedral.  Now you should TRAVEL to the cathedral.

Cathedral
---------
Talk with the boy on the right side of the gate. Answer his questions with:

  1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1

Take the wire which is located near the left statue and take the first bar of the fence.
Now go to the right statue and open the panel.  Now use the wire followed by the bar.  The
gargoyle will die.  Enter the cathedral and walk to the confession booth.  Answer the
questions of the priest with:

  2 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1

He'll give you the jawbone.  Now ask about Stiletto and TRAVEL to her appartment.

Now use the jawbone you got from the priest and ask about Ben Hutchin's.  Now TRAVEL to the
Mausoleum.

Mausoleum

her and answer her questions with:

  4 - 3 - 2

After the Succubus has bitten you, you should move fast (notice the countdown clock).  Move
the statue and enter the secret passage.  Move the pillow and you'll find a diary.  Take a
look at it.  Take the spear out of the statue and use it.  Climb through the broken window
and TRAVEL to the cathedral.

Cathedral (2)
-------------
Move the pillow in front of the altar and take the detonator.  Also take the middle statue
on the altar and the chalice.  Now take the holy water.  When Stiletto is fighting Succubus,
she'll ask you to help her.  Use the chalice with the holy water in it.  After you've passed
out, you'll wake up in the Shadowlair.

When you wake up, talk to Stiletto and say this:

  1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 4 - 2 - 1 - 1

Now you can ask her anything you want.  At the source, there is a pillar with a panel on the
right side.  Open it and you'll find the history of the Darksheer and the Noctorlyph.  At
the last pillar on the right side of the pond is also a panel at the bottom.  Open it and
you'll obtain the costume of the Darksheer.  Now TRAVEL to Bornick Mansion.

spot you.  You can do this by walking in a clockwise circle toward the telescope.  Once you
are at the telescope, pick up the screwdriver.  Continue the clockwise circle ... pick up
the oil (somewhere in front of the 2 steps) and go up the platform.  Now use the oil and

Master Macabre's Maze
---------------------
Say anything you want, you'll get captured anyway.  Once you wake up, just talk to the guy
a bit ... eventually he'll go away.  Once again the clock will appear.  Move the bottle of
acid in between you and Stiletto.  Take the empty bottle from the rack and open the door.
Stiletto will take care of Master Macabre.  Enter the door and take a bit of acid from the
ground into the empty bottle.  Go into the next room and walk past the ventilator after the

have a piece of rope.  Go back to the previous room, use the rope and go through the opening
in the wall.  Now use the acid and enter the door on the top/right.  Now enter the first
door, you'll find some rails here.  Go back and use the rails on the broken bridge.  Now you

Now you have to search the solution of the puzzle (3 blue balls at the bottom, the white
balls on the left and the red balls on the right).  The game starts once you put the blue
ball in the opening (bottom/right).  SAVE THE GAME ... since the time won't stop.  Once you
get outside TRAVEL to Shadowlair and go to the pond.  You'll meet the Dreammaker.
