ARK OF TIME
- A Basic WalkThru -
by
Matt

Note: This walk-thru is written from my notes, after playing the game just one time thru. I did *not* play it again to de-bug walk-thru (so I may have missed a detail) or to see if a more efficient approach were possible, i.e., if more could be done at a location at one time. This walk-thru reflects the way I played the game and the way I made discoveries, as I played.

Caribbean

After talking to editor, leave office and (map screen) go to Carib Island. Talk to painter and get cup. Go Right to museum. Try to use cup with fountain, tap can't be used without knob.
Enter museum. In Gallery, notice the Pirates wall hangings and the compass set on East (with message about South wind). Go up stairs to gunnery. Notice cloth in wall and the shield on wall that seems like it should turn. Go thru alcove to library. Open window (see car below) look at ancient book and read letter in it. Return to painter and ask about Pirate.
Go to Beach: See flat rock in lower left of screen, with crack in it and crab crawling around. Open bungalow door and examine jacket (piece of cloth missing). Take the dirty mug and mexican corn. Read Prof's note....about ancient tomb and church.
