Everything you see is new and the FAQ will not be updated anymore unless the Dutch FAQ is also updated. ___ /_1_\_______________ \ C / PREPARATIONS / ������������������ This document is a translation of my other Dutch walkthrough. While translating I did not play the game anymore, so it is possible that some translations (Especially names for items, locations, etcetera!) are not entirely correct. Read the tips below before you start the game and use this walkthrough. These remarks contain valuable information about using this FAQ or the game. In this game, different signs will tell you what you can do with a person or object. If a question mark appears, you can get historical information by clicking. A mouth means that you can talk to a person and an eye means you can look at something. There is also a weird sign that says you can use or pick up on object. A normal hand means you can�t do anything. Directions are shown by a pointing hand. =============== = 2 = G A M E = =============== ___ /_2_\________ \ A / STORY / ����������� Although this game is fun and all, the total picture is a bit unclear to me. It seems that there are few people are conspiring to harm the reputation of the royal family, but how it all starts is a big question for me. A man named Bontemps orders you, Lalande, to investigate the matter and to report suspicious things to him. So off you go, to save the king from his downfall. ___ /_2_\_____________ \ B / CHARACTERS / ���������������� [ALEXANDRE BONTEMPS] Bontemps knows all, sees all and tells everything to the king. He knows everything about the king but doesn�t say anything. The first �valet de chambre� has the absolute trust of Louis XIV, who is also godfather of his child. He is one of the few people that attended the wedding of the king and Madame de Maintenon, two years ago. Governor of Versailles since 1665, the best informed man in the palace. He makes use of his Swiss guards. [MONSEIGNEUR] A friendly and uninfluenced man of twenty-four years of age, always ready to organize a ball or masquerade. The son of the king, who appreciates the fun of eating and hunting, is tall and pretty fat. The man is highly educated, even though he has a reputation of being dumb. He got a complete education from the notable of Boussuet. He is a great art lover and turned his private apartment, with his impressive collection, into one of the most beautiful museums. [CHARLES LE BRUN] Charles Le Brun is sure of his position, the king has always had him in high regard and trust. Even to a point where he interrupted the meeting of the council to admire the painting �Christ on the cross�. When Colbert died two years ago, Mignard was able to give him this position with help from Louvois. Before that time, Le Brun put much of his talent into his work and career. A member of the founders of the Royal Academy of the Art of Painting, in 1648. [MONSIEUR] The big moment of his life was the victory over Willem of Orange near Cassel, in 1677. Since then there haven�t been any glorious moments in the life of Monsieur. He was unfortunate to be born second and he would never recover from this bad luck. His brother, who distrusted him, kept him away from political affairs. He is doomed to live a life of luxury, only spiced up by his favorites. [P�RE DE LA CHAIZE] P�re de la Chaize has been Louis XIV�s priest for ten years now, a position that he will keep until he dies. This professor in philosophy travels to Versailles every Friday to attend the meeting of the king�s conscience. He is one of the people that know the secret of the king. It is also a fact that he was the official man at the wedding of the king and Madame de Maintenon in 1683. [DUC DU MAINE] This boy of fifteen years old who drags his foot through the hallways of Versailles is the son of the king and Madame de Montespan. He is declared legitimate, together with his younger brother and sister. He chooses the company of Madame de Maintenon over that of his own mother, because she raised him and still continues to take care of his foot. He was a student in literature. ___ /_2_\___________ \ C / CONTROLS / �������������� Below are all the buttons for the PlayStation controller.

Look at the painting above the fireplace in the next room. Beneath it are four jars. Open the second one from the right and get the key from it. Exactly opposite from the fireplace is a door, placed a bit deeper in the wall. Go through that door and turn left to talk to the man in brown, Le Brun. Choose for the upper option when talking to him and again after he said something. When you have to choose again, pick the middle option. Now an option will appear that will let you offer to look for the drawings. This is the middle option, so choose it and Le Brun will leave. Turn right to see two doors. Go through the left one to get inside a dressing room. Pull open the curtain to get some light. On the right side of the room are multiple closets, open the second one from the left and get the scissors from the fourth drawer from the bottom. Close this closet and open the second one from the right. Get a piece of paper from the third drawer from the bottom and read it. Close this closet as well and leave the room, back to the place where you ran into Le Brun. Turn a little to the right and use the door to return to the room with the fireplace. To the left of that fireplace is a door next to the window, go through it and up to get to a hallway. Follow the hallway to a dark, small room. Look at the chest in the back of the room and use the scissors on it. Get the piece of paper from the chest and then look at the small desk with candle and writing equipment. Use the piece of paper you just collected from the chest on the candle and pick up the other paper from the desk before you leave the room. Go back down the stairs again to end up in the room with the fireplace. Now the door to the bedroom is open, so go through it. Talk to the man next to the door and tell him Bontemps is waiting for your report so he will let you pass. ___ /_3_\_________________________ \ B / FROM RISING TO COUNCIL / ���������������������������� Turn to the left and walk through the open door. Look at the king�s bed and talk to Bontemps. He will order you to look for a specific woman. Turn left again and enter the room with the fireplace. Go through to the door across from it to end up in Le Brun�s room. On arrival, choose the door right in front of you, which will bring you to the guard�s room. Again choose the door right in front of you to get to the room of the woman your looking for. You�re not allowed to enter, so don�t talk to the servant next to the door. Instead of talking to him, select the Pamphlet On The Arts you�re carrying with you and use it on the servant. Talk to him after that and ask him if you may talk to the lady, that�s the first option. After that, ask him if he can deliver a message. Then there�s only one option left, so pick that one and the conversation will end. Go back through the door on the right behind you and then through the door in front of you. Do the same in the room after that. Turn to the right and use the open door to reach the bedroom. Select the Transformed Paper you have in your inventory and use it on Bontemps. End the conversation right now and turn a little to the left. Get a key and a candle from the closet on the left side of the bed. Turn left more and go to the room with the fireplace. Opposite from the fireplace are two small closets, use the key you just found on the one on the right and take the drawings. Go back through the open door to the bedroom and then through the open door in front of you. You are addressed by a highly placed person, you answer the questions honestly and correctly. So the first time you pick the middle option. Then choose the third option from the top to avoid coming across as an idiot. Select the drawings you found and hand them over to this gentleman, Louis de France. Thank him to end the conversation, then turn right and go through the open door. Turn a bit to the right again and walk forward twice into another room. Turn left, select the drawings and give them to Le Brun. Select the forged drawing and put it on the table in front of Le Brun. Pick up a brush, dip it in the golden paint and use it on the drawing. Leave the room, back into the hall of mirrors. Immediately to the left of the door stands Bontemps, the man in blue. Select the drawing and give it to him. ___ /_3_\_______________________ \ C / FROM COUNCIL TO MASS / �������������������������� Turn left and talk to the guard next to the door. Ask him if you may enter the room, that�s the middle option. End the conversation and turn back right to go through the open door. Walk forward again, through the open door. Turn left and pick up the stick from the pool table. Turn back right and walk through the open door again, then another time to end up in a hallway with paintings of Hercules. A bit to the left is a fireplace and if you move the cursor around it you can see that you�re able to walk past it on the left side. So do that, between the two paintings in front of you is a secret door. You can�t open it yet, so move back to the room with the pool table by turning around and walking through the doors a few times. Face the pool table and notice a statue behind it. Go through the door to the right of that statue to enter a nice room where a man and a woman are talking right in front of you. Turn left and go down the stairs, turn right and face the three gates with the guard. Talk to the guard and choose the top option to ask him for a key. Then select the middle option to tell him you�re an a mission for Bontemps so that he will give you the key. Turn around and go up the left stairs. Go through the door on the right to go back to the room with the pool table. Turn right there and walk through the open doors until you reach the fireplace I mentioned earlier.

Click on the music notebook and keep turning the pages until you�ll eventually take one with you. Walk forward and give the same page to the musician. Choose the top option once the conversation begins and choose it again to offer some help. Confirm that by picking the middle option. Choose the upper option to tell him you saw the man you were talking about this morning, then select the middle option to be able to go look for him. Walk back through the hallway and enter the right door at the fireplace. Follow the open doors until you reach the room where you saw a man do something with a closet, that�s forward twice. Turn to the left wall and you�ll see two closets, open the bottom drawer of the closet on the right and pick up a key from it. Walk through an open door again to end up in the room with the pool table. Turn right and go through the door right of the statue again. You�ll need the man that�s talking to the lady here, so join the conversation. Choose the upper option to get the right answer and to end the conversation. Turn around and exit through the door you used to come in. Follow the open doors on the left until you reach the room with the secret door. Go through that secret door, turn left and follow the hallway to the musician. Talk to him and choose the top option twice. Go back through the hallway and the door on the right near the fireplace. Walk through the open doors again until you get to the room with the pool table, go through the door to the right of the statue. Talk to Racine again and choose the upper option. After the conversation, go back the way you came and through the open doors in the hallway again to reach the room with the secret door. Open it and follow the hallway to the musician, his name is Lully by the way. Talk to him again and choose the second option, then the top one. Follow the long hallway back to the fireplace and go through the door on the right again. First walk towards the plants, then turn left and enter the next room. You�ve been here before, this is where you colored the forged drawing. Next to the wooden construction is a small table. Look at the table and then pick up the piece of coal and the empty paper. Go back through the open doors to the room with the pool table and open the door to the right of the statue. Walk down the stairs on the left, turn right and walk outside past the guard. When you�re outside, turn left and walk forward once. Turn left more to see a gate in the building. Next to the gate is Bontemps, so go talk to him. First choose the bottom option that mentions Lully. Select the Musical Score that you have with you and give it to Bontemps. Pick the top option to get more freedom in your quest from Bontemps. After the conversation, go back the way you came and into the palace again. Walk forward a little and go up using the stairs on the right. At the top, go through the door on the left. Turn right in the next room and go through the open door to the room you started in. The guard you have right in front of you is not the right one, so turn right and give the Authorization from Bontemps to the other guard. Then enter through the door to the right of him and open the drawer of the table in front of you. Use the empty piece of paper you found on the collection of medals and then use the piece of coal on the paper that now covers the medals. Leave the room and follow the open doors to the room with the pool table. Give the Reproduction Of Medals to the man leaning against the table, it�s the king�s brother. Choose the top option in the conversation and give the piece of paper to him again after it ends. Continue through the open doors to the room with the fireplace and the secret door. To your left is a man next to a silver piece of art, give him the piece of paper with the medals on it as well. Turn a bit to the left and follow the open doors to the last room where both guards are. Now talk to the guard that�s right in front of you. ___ /_3_\_________ \ D / DINNER / ������������ Turn around in the first room and go through the door in front of you next to the guard.

Turn left and walk down the last part of the stairs to end up outside Turn to the right and follow the huge outside area to a gate in a fence. Turn right again and find out where you can walk forward. Do that when you can to reach a new building. On both sides is a door and they will both bring you to a minister�s office. Take the left door and talk to the man next to the desk. Select the piece of food you took earlier and offer it to this man. Look in the direction of the desk when the man is gone and turn a little to the left to see a small seat in the corner of the room. Move the cursor a bit up and to the right, to the second shelf from the bottom. Click here to find another note. Now examine the desk, but not the map yet. Get the feather from the jar of ink and use it on the empty piece of paper on the right side of the desk. You can select the letters one by one. Spell the words FOX AND CRANE, they will end up next to each other though. Now you have to go all the way back to the room you started in, so leave the room and walk down the stairs to get outside.
