NOCTROPOLIS HINTS

After following directions in manual to get to Noctropolis:

Talk to newspaper guy - You must give him your comic in order to get info out of him.
Ask him, as well as anyone else in the game about EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY !!

CATHEDRAL
Go to the cathedral - talk to kid sitting down on ledge.
Pick up rope AND fence grate on left side of screen. 
Go back to right side and OPEN small door on lamppost.
Now use the rope and the grate together...This will kill the gargoyle.
Go inside and talk to Desmond - Take the jawbone from him.

STILLETTO’S APARTMENT
Go talk to Stilletto - No matter what, she’ll kick you out.
Go back to MAIN STREET and give jawbone to guy @ Hall of Records - Ask him questions.
In order to talk to him, click on the dark outline of a figure @ the top of the screen using TALK.
The conversation should progress from there and you should give him the jawbone and talk some more.

MAUSOLEUM
Go to mausoleum and enter through the right side door.
Once inside look around and the move the corpse closest to you and get the key.
NOT the corpse next to the wall - Now go and open the coffin and hop in !!
You will be picked up by a couple of guys and taken to the mausoleum.
Succubus will bite you - No way around it. Once you wake up, MOVE the statue at the far end of the room.
Take stairwell down to Succubus’ lair. Once down there, MOVE the pillow and read her diary.
To leave, get the spear from the small statue and USE it on the grate. Go back to CATHEDRAL.

CATHEDRAL
Talk to Desmond again about the bomb. To find the bomb, move the pillow in front of the altar.
Get the detonator and then get the chalice from the altar. USE the chalice with the holy water.
Soon, Succubus will arrive - USE the chalice w/ holy water on her to kill her.

SHADOWLAIR
You will awake in Shadowlair where you are healed by the Liquidark pool.
Kick Stilletto around and she’ll eventually leave - You can’t help this.
Now, move stuff around (i.e PILLARS) to find your new Darksheer suit and book.
Now go back to STILLETTO’S APARTMENT and ask her to give you another chance.

SUNSPIRE BUILDING
Talk to guard until he mentions Sam Jenkins and won’t talk to you any more.
Talk with Stilletto and get her to talk with the guard.
Go out onto construction site and ride the lift up to the second level. pick up glass shard.
Go back down and pick up glass cutter - Leave site and go back to Stilletto.
Take a look at the truck. Go back to MAIN STREET and ask about Greenhouse.
Go to Hall of Records and ask about Sam Jenkins.






GREENHOUSE
Use glass cutter to get into Greenhouse.
Go inside, if you get hung up in plants, use your grenade - It can be replenished @ Shadowlair.
Go back outside and pick up the flier that blew past you. Go to the truck parked outside.
From inside of the truck, get the seeds and the solution.
Since you’re probably injured go back to SHADOWLAIR. Go to Cygnus.

CYGNUS
Talk with the secretary and mention you’d like some ice water.
Pick up the elevator pass from the floor - you’ll need it.
You need to make a deal with the secretary that you’ll get the AC fixed if she’ll let you meet w/ Jenkins.
She’ll show you Leon’s room - Jaw with Leon for a bit and then let Stilletto handle him.
Turn on the AC and go back out. You should now be able to talk to Jenkins.
After you finish with him, you will need to use you pass you found on the floor to go see Ms. Shoto.
Talk to Ms. Shoto for a bit and find out some things and then leave. Use you pass to get back down.
Now you will need to go to the OPERA.

OPERA
Not a whole lot to do here the first go around except watch Stilletto get abducted.
You will need to go to the OBSERVATORY to get the lens for your “trade”.

OBSERVATORY
Use you Noctroglyph to make yourself “invisible” to the search lights.
Once at the door use the seeds and the solution to “make” your entrance to the observatory.
Once inside, you will have to avoid the lights (It can be done) to go and pick up the oil and screwdriver.
You should also see a log book - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT !! GET IT !!
Once you have the items, use the lift and USE the oil and the screwdriver to get the lens.
After you come back down from the lift, you must go through the same process you used to get there.
To leave, avoid all of the guards lights on the way out the door. 
 I found a little trick to this - on the way OUT, step off of the lift just onto the floor, SAVE your game and          
get back into it. You should be standing right next to the door when you get back in.
Now go back to the OPERA.

OPERA
Once you make the trade, you will be captured by TopHat - No way around it.
Ask the janitor that comes by to help you down from your predicament.
Now, go over by the stage and pick up a brick from the pile.
Go and stand over the trap door (Look real hard for it) and then USE the brick.
Now you are underground - Get the makeup kit from under the desk/mirror and get the jewelry.
Go over to the rack of clothes and MOVE them - You should see another door. GO TO IT.
Once you are inside this room, pickup the screwdriver, USE it on the other door you see.
Now MOVE the faucet and USE the hose to break open to bricked up entrance.
You should be staring at the gang now - After you have talked to them, GIVE them the knife.
They should ask you for something else as well for payment - GIVE them the jewelry.
Since you should’ve heard about the butcher, go back to MAIN STREET and ask about the butcher.
Now go see him.........

BUTCHER
Talk to the butcher - At some point in the conversation, ask him if he makes his own sausage.
Offer him the paper for the sausage.
Go into his freezer - the door on the left and pick up the meat hook.
Now, MOVE the hanging meat to find the door leading to Master Macabre.

MASTER MACABRE
Guess what ? There’s Stilletto ! Once again, you will be captured and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Once you are strapped to the gurney - Kick the tray of tools at the foot of the gurney - Keep trying.
After the tray loosens the brake on the generator and bumps Stilletto’s cart to free her, she’ll free you.
Macabre should come in at some point and you and Stilletto will kill him - Don’t remember how though - 
It’s Easy !!
Before you leave this room, pick up a beaker from the wall on the left and THEN leave.
You will now begin the MAZE.

THE MAZE
Next you’ll enter a room full of Christmas lights, bodies, and rats.
All you need to do here is fill the beaker with battery acid - the glowing green stuff.
After leaving this room, you enter another larger room - GO TO the fan and walk through it.
Don’t worry about dying, the computer won’t let you pass until you get it right.
In this room pick up the wheel under the table - VERY IMPORTANT !
Next go over the right wall and USE the glass shard from the construction site and cut the rope.
GET the rope - you’ll need it next. 
Now, jump back through the fan into the room you just left.
USE the rope on the hanging stuff and the fan - this should get you out of this room.
After the hanging bulk blasts you a way out, GET OUT !!
Now you are in the sewer - USE the battery acid to make the pipe fall and give you a walkway.
Now you should be on the catwalk - TURN at the first door and pick up the rebar on the floor of the room.
Leave this room and get back out on the catwalk - USE the rebar so you can pass over the walkway safely.
Now, go to the room at the end of the catwalk.
USE the wheel on the apparatus in the far left hand corner of the screen.
You can now leave this room and get back on the catwalk - GO BACK to the door (now on your right).
Using the wheel cut the sewage flow and you can walk into the pipe on the right of the screen.
You should now see a large room - There’s nothing here, just get out of the sewer.
Now go through the large opening/door.
Now you should see this real ugly guy - Talk to him and you’ll find out more stuff on Shoto, Sunspire, and 
	maybe even Whisperman.
At the end of your conversation, give him the makeup kit you got at the opera.
Now the puzzle - Guys, save your game here b/c after this, you see a part of Stilletto you’ve only dreamed       
	of  !!!! 

The puzzle is arranged like so ................................

			1	  4 
			   2         5
			       3  6    
                                                      7
                                                      8
                                                      9                                 10

Now, MOVE the pins in this order...9,  2,  6,  3,  8,  5,  2,  8,  4,  1,  9, 10. You’re outta here !

Since you are dying, you will end back up at Shadowlair.

SHADOWLAIR
After Stilletto morphs into Drealmer and your eyes go back into your head, you’ll be at DREAMLAND !!





DREAMLAND
The first thing you need to do is pick up the paint can by the funhouse on the left.
Next, go  into the clown funhouse on the right. 
Once you get inside the room is laid out like so - a canvas on the far left, a portal (exits this room), a tower  
	kinda in the middle of the screen, a screen (above and to the left of the clown), and a clown.
Go into the clowns mouth and pick up the dental pic.
Now, go over to the portal and exit this room.
Go over to the funhouse on the left side of the screen and USE the pic on the door.
Pick up everything you see in here - I believe it’s a match(?) - Anyway, you’ll see it....
Now, go back into the clown funhouse on the right.
Go into the tower like structure - Once inside you should see a demon, don’t worry with him right now.
Get the oil lamp on the right most side of the screen - Now leave this room.
Pull down the screen and go into the room full of briars - Once inside get one of the briars.
Now use the oil lamp along with the match - You should’ve just torched the corpse.
Now, behind some of the briars you should see something like a cross wrapped up - Get it.
Leave this room and go back into the tower.
Once inside, use the cross/eggs on the demon - He will leave and you can get the diamond.
Now, leave this room and head back outside through the portal.
Go back into the house on the left - Once inside USE the diamond on the glass.
Walk through and MOVE the pepper shaker - It should tip over and you must GET some pepper.
Now go back into the clown funhouse on the right.
Once inside the room, go back into the clown’s mouth and USE the pepper.
You should get the paint brush now - Wipe it off first :)
Now that you have the brush, USE it on the canvas over to your left.
Now go though that door and you’ll see a large tower - USE the sticky webbing (briars) now.
Climb the webbing and get to the opening in the tower.
You should now see another door - MOVE the doormat/runner to find the key and open it.
Now you’ll see Drealmer/Stilletto - Talk to him/her and see what happens.
Don’t worry about getting your butt kicked ! You’ll be back at Shadowlair in no time !
After you have recovered in Shadowlair, go to MAIN STREET and ask about WHISPERMAN !!
Now you need to go back to CYGNUS.

CYGNUS
Now that you’re at Cygnus, go inside and go to the elevator.
Once inside the elevator use your pass card again.
Talk to Ms. Shoto again and find out about Whisperman.
Leave Shoto and Cygnus and go outside of the Cygnus building - See the sewer grate ? Good !
Now, go over by the lamp post and GET one of the grates - It will come loose.
Now, use the grate/spear on the sewer grate to open it - Now, go down into the sewer/underground.
Once underground, get the pieces of the chair in the junk pile on the right - You should get 3 pieces.
Go over and open the furnace and use the chair pieces in the furnace.
Once the reflecting pool opens up, go to it so you can meet with Whisperman.
Now you should know what you need to know about Flux, etc.
Now leave Whisperman - You should be back at the furnace - Now leave it as well.
Go back inside of Cygnus.
Use the elevator again EXCEPT this time use the LOG BOOK (from Observatory) instead of the pass card.
This should take you to the rooftop of Cygnus.
Now use the meat hook on the cable running from Cygnus to Sunspire.
Almost done now.............



SUNSPIRE
Once inside get the tape and the rope. USE the rope now.
EXIT out of this screen (Move cursor to right I believe).
Now you should see a broom, get it and USE the rope/sausage.
Now, USE the duct tape on the broom to attach the meat hook to the broom handle.
Once you encounter the dog - use the rope/sausage - To get the rope back, use the handle/meat hook.
After your long drawn out confrontation with Flux, use the gold coin when the “fountain” dries up.

GAME OVER !!!


*** 	I have intentionally left out a couple of scenes - The confrontation with widow Bornick, the 
	talk with the hooker outside of the opera, and the talk with “Barney Fife” outside of  Incarnate 
	- They are essentially irrelevant to the outcome of the game maybe with the exception of 
	Incarnate. You may or may not want to do these yourself. ALSO, this document will complete 
	the game for but I wrote it from memory so they may be a very, very, very small portion of 
	moves not included, but YOU CAN FINISH THE GAME WITH THESE. If there are any typos 
	or just something I left out, feel free to e-mail me. ENJOY !!!
