I don't believe the rate at which I'm posting these "Help me, I'm stupid" threads, but what the heck, HERE'S ANOTHER! :cool:
Anyway, I'm playing Viktor Gaspar (BTW, this FM is quite a puzzler so feel free to leave your questions here too), and I have broken into the gallery and stolen the one mask I need. I also went to the library and found-[SPOILER]-the key hidden in the secret alcove behind the chair....but all it does is open up another one of those lock boxes (there's about a bjillion of them in this FM).[/SPOILER] Now I have no clue what to do. I think I need to open up the [SPOILER]genie bottle[/SPOILER] but I don't know how I would go about doing that? Help would be much appreciated.

yeah, this one's a definite puzzler - i'm stuck too.
and don't think i can answer your question since [SPOILER]i'm not even sure where this genie bottle thing is that you speak of?[/SPOILER]
all i've been able to do so far is:
[SPOILER]find the one mask & find the medallion[/SPOILER]
and i've been running around clueless for some time now.
The Mike, did you get
[SPOILER]the key hanging under the desk in the office of that pomegranite place? i think that was the one that opens the money box in the secret-area in the library... which gets you a key to open one out in the water - really hard to remember which key was found where to open what here! i drop them after i use them to try to be a little less confused :)[/SPOILER]
but it hasn't helped me too much, obviously :)

I figured out how to open the bottle:
[spoiler]Use the 'Djinn Medallion' you got from the box under water[/spoiler]
[spoiler]only 3 wishes though[/spoiler]
The only doors I can't seem to open are the 2 grey ones across from the GASPAR sign, the one with all the windows.

@sxerks: [SPOILER]you shouldn't -need- to open those doors - there's a secret door up on a walkway that leads to a lab with hints on a secret entrance around the corner - which leads into that place[/SPOILER]
edit:
now i'm stuck again
[SPOILER]after frobbing the genie bottle ... if i choose an item when it teleports me back to that place for the 3rd time, i always die with it saying something about not 4 (but i only take 3 in total & if i take 2 & sit there on the 3rd transport to this place, nothing happens?)[/SPOILER]

grey doors,
[spoiler]I don't know how, but that secret door open on the ledge, I don't remember hitting a switch. But I did get in now.[/spoiler]
bottle,
[spoiler]you can get 3 items, and if you frob it a 4th time you die, are you saying you die on the 3rd time? do you get teleported to a red room?[/spoiler]
Now the only thing I need is the Sun mask.

door:
[SPOILER]i think the secret door that you didn't notice opens when you get the medallion by itself, but not positive[/SPOILER]
bottle:
[SPOILER]i frob the genie bottle - get transported to the items, take one - go back to the museum, get transported back to items & take 1, back to museum, back to items, take 1 - go to the red room & die[/SPOILER]
:)

The bottle thing must be a bug, it works fine for me.
dreamer on 12/3/2004 at 06:23
Can anyone give me a hint on where to find the genie bottle? [SPOILER]And has anyone found a use for the four talismans?[/SPOILER]
Thanks
raetsel on 12/3/2004 at 06:56
a hint?
hmm, ok...
[SPOILER]i'm sure you've been in this place before - especially if you have a mask that was an objective[/SPOILER]
it's not so obvious that it hilights, by the way - think that's why i passed it too, first time around

I'm stuck.[SPOILER]I went through the Lost City part, got the talismans- which I can't figure out a use for- and got ANOTHER fake sun mask. Joy. Still can't get in the doors under the gallery, still no idea where the real mask is, still only able to open 2 boxes in the vault. No idea what to do next.[/SPOILER]
