The last express game walkthrough

To do so, open the matchbox and get the matches out. Now move the cursor over the table. As soon as the beetle appears, the cursor changes into the matchbox. Move it over the beetle and click only when the box is covering it. This way you catch the beetle. But it might take some effort If you are playing quite quickly, you might also have time to trade the beetle with Francois for his whistle.

If you're a bit slow, you'll get another change later but make sure the trade is made! With Salzburg in sight, lunch for first class is announced. Wait for Abbot to leave and follow him to the restaurant car. You might also wait there for him.

You have to talk to him and have lunch with him. The train will arrive in Salzburg. After it leaves this city, go to Kronos private car. When Kronos and Kahina talk, read the book on the couch. You can hear some kind of conspiracy spoken about by Kronos and Kahina. They believe Anna has the Firebird scrolls. Return to the smoking salon and see people chat with eachother. At a certain point in time, Kronos will enter and ask Anna to play a duet with him.

She agrees and everyone is invited to the little concert. Go back to the first sleeping car and meet Schmidt who will talk to you. The delivery will be in Belgrade! Wait and see Mademoiselle Boutarel complain about Anna's dog.

Go to the second sleeping car and meet the conductor who will invite you too for the concert of Anna and Kronos.

Return to the first sleeping car and see how Anna's dog is removed. So it's not guarded now! Wait a while till Anna leaves her compartment and goes to Kronos' car. She will have it locked. To enter her compartment go to compartment E. In here you will find Rebecca's diary which you can read. The purpose of this break in is to enter Anna's compartment.

To get there, climb out the window. Look straight to the front of it and see three rubies. Press the middle one and open the secret compartment. Get the master key to all compartments. In the trunk there's a letter that will shed new light on the matter! Leave again through the window. Tatiana will also leave her compartment A. Go there and enter the compartment's washing cabinet. Open the closet below the sink and get the giant golden egg. Leave the washing cabinet and the count will wake up.

Talk to him and leave. Go to your own compartment and put the egg in the chest. Leave your compartment and go to « Kronos. Sit down and enjoy the concert. Watch Kahina; she will leave to search something After some time, she will return. Now it's your turn to leave the concert. If you didn't have time to search Anna's place, do so now.

You have 30 to 60 minutes for it. If you visited Anna's, go outside through the door in between of the last sleeping car and Kronos' private car. Get on the roof of the train, turn around and walk on till you reach the roof window.

Break the glass and jump down. This is Kronos' room. Read the papers on the bedside table. Tyler had the egg when he left Paris! Go to the tapestry and find the button to the secret cabinet. Open the briefcase and see all the gold it contains. Take the briefcase. Leave through the door and enjoy or fear! Go to your compartment and put the briefcase under your bed. Get the golden egg from the chest and leave your compartment. Go to the dining car and go through the crimson curtain. Walk till the end until you reach the cage in which Max, Anna's dog, is locked.

Open the cage, let Max out and put the egg in the cage. Return to the sleeping car and see Alexei ask the conductor to open his compartment. Put the master key from the inventory to you hands click on it and it will be shown right of the small photograph. As soon as the conductor opened Alexei's compartment and walks back to his seat, use the master key on August Schmidt's compartment number 3 and enter.

Examine the large suitcase and find a letter he's written. After you read it, put it back and return to the concert. Wait till the end of the concert may take a while! Get the suitcase with the gold and go to compartment 3. Wait till Schmidt enters and then follow him to show him the gold. Then leave. In the corridors, both Kahina and Milos will come to you. Kahina points a gun at you so you might obey her first.

Take the suitcase with the gold and go to Kronos' private car. Talk to him and loose the gold. After that, go to Milos compartment G and talk to him till Vesna is caught listening through the keyhole.

Go to the smoking salon and overhear the conversation between Schmidt and Abbot. After Abbot leaves, talk to Schmidt. Go to the baggage car which is now open! Open it and take a look. Unfortunately Anna disturbs you and you get some more info on Tyler, his death and the golden egg.

But « Vesna seems to be not too happy with this and tries to stab Anna in the back. You pull her away and another fighting sequence begins. When he finds Tyler murdered in his compartment, he'll pull on the emergency brake, police investigation will commence and you'll be arrested maybe just for riding without a ticket, but likely for your part in the Ireland murder discussed in the newspaper article.

The large amounts of various 'bad endings' are generally described by means of Rebecca Norton's diary, as can be seen here. What needs to be done here is simple. You need to get rid of this body, nobody is to know. Mertens will approach compartment 1 and knock on the door. If you haven't done anything to fix the situation, you're in trouble. You can pretend to be Whitney be talking through the door and send Mertens on his way.

If you don't, Mertens will open the door to find you standing over a dead body. Open the window, and pick up the body of your late friend. Then, throw the body out. Not an elegant solution, but the best way of making sure nobody will find him soon.

The downside here is that the police will find his body along the tracks. Members of the French police will enter the Express at some point, during which you must hide. In addition, Francois Boutarel, a little kid, will have seen the body of Tyler roll by the train and will chat about it to his mother, who doesn't believe him.

Open up the couch to find the bed. Strap Tyler's body in, and close it. The downside here is that conductor Mertens makes the beds during the journey; you'll have to catch the good man in time before he discovers Tyler's body and instruct him to leave your bed alone. Robert will learn about the conductor's housekeeping plans when he gets into a row with the Persian eunuch who does not wish him to enter the harem's chambers. Past that point, you can talk to Mertens and make sure Tyler remains undiscovered for the time being.

In both cases, you picked up Tyler's body and gotten blood all over yourself. Grab Tyler's old green one and Robert will throw his old jacket out the window. In your fancy new jacket, you can find a box of matches; take the matches out. It is possible to meet Mertens in the hallway and have him approach you about herr Schmidt waiting for you.

When you come across one of the conductors there's one on both sides of the first sleeping car , he'll notice the stains of blood on your jacket and raise the alarm.

You'll be arrested for the murder of Tyler Whitney. Hey, fun to do once. Alternatively, if either herr Schmidt or Milos catches you with the bloody jacket, it's all over as well. Let's have a look around. There's a flamboyant orange suitcase resting on a chair. Opening it will reveal that two items were meant to placed within, but both are gone.

Did the murderer take them? Was the "exceptional" discovery of Tyler the motive for the murder? Only time will tell Below the orange suitcase lies an orange and purple scarf.

Pick it up. A woman's? It seems to be embroided with the letter 'W'. Paging through the passenger list, you can at least find Mademoiselle Anna Wolff, Autrichienne Austrian. Maybe it's hers? You could've seen a woman leave the compartment just when you entered the sleeping car, is she the culprit? Look up. Tyler's suitcase can be found in the luggage nets. Opening it up reveals two items of interest; the reply you sent Tyler and what appears to be a kind of Russian poem?

Robert takes it with him but leaves the telegram in there. If the window's still open, you can opt to look outside. Afterwards, you even get the option of climbing out! When you do so, you gain nothing that helps you, but you now know you can spy on your neighbor should you ever want to. Your neighbor is the Russian Alexei Dolnikov, traveling to Budapest.

By examining the glasses in your bathroom, the clicking on the upper rim of the top glass, you get some kind of strange easter egg. I have no real explanation for it Let's walk out of here.

Francois Boutarel, the little brat, will run around blowing on a whistle. You can try to catch him and ask what he's blowing on to see a very pricey toy. When he returns to his mother in compartment D, and you chose to throw Tyler out the window right away, you'll hear him talk about him seeing a dead man rolling along the tracks. If you try to go back to the private car owned by Kronos , you'll be stopped by the conductor. Nothing for you there. Lounge car: Monsieur Boutarel French, compartment C is minding his own business at a table, and you have no need to converse with the man.

Sophie de Bretheuill French, compartment E and her friend Rebecca Norton English, also compartment E are discussing current political affairs when you enter the lounge car, but will eventually turn the subject to your striking looks. They were discussing the case of madame Caillaux, second wife to the Prime Minister of France who only about a month prior to the game's start shot a newspaper editor who in her eyes wrong her husband. They compare the case to that of the Dreyfus affair a scandal sharply dividing the French populous about the supposed treason of Alfred Dreyfus, who was later proven to have been framed by the French military court.

The reinstatement of Dreyfus happened eight years prior to the events of this game. Everybody's out dining. In the dinner car are sitting at the moment: mr.

August Schmidt German, 3 , mr. You cannot converse with the Serbians or the Russians. You can talk briefly with mr. Dolnikov, who appears to have rather anti-governmental sympathies. When he leaves, he'll forget his book, which is a copy of Nietzsche's "Also sprach Zarathustra".

Within its pages, you'll find Alexei's boarding ticket. While he according to the passenger list he'll be traveling to Budapest, he marked the time of just prior to arriving in Budapest. But it is especially your conversation with herr Schmidt which is interesting.

It seems Whitney made a deal with this man to exchange 'the gold' for some kind of merchandise, which will be boarding the train at Munich. There certainly didn't seem to be any gold in Whitney's compartment, and while Robert bluffed his way through the dialogue, it's up to you to get his ass out of this situation. He cannot pay for any merchandise, as there is no gold. Russian nobles, it seems. No wonder such a heavy look was passed between the girl and the Russian liberal.

Stay a while. Herr Schmidt will order a roast duck and a bottle of Bordeaux, and the Serbians will leave to make room for other guests at a later time. If you meet her in the hallway, you can stop her for a light; after that, you can call after her to ask if the scarf you found in Whitney's room is hers. She declines. You can also ignore herr Schmidt for a long time. Eventually, he'll leave the restaurant car and enter Tyler Whitney's compartment. If the body is there, Game Over the same ending you receive when you startle herr Schmidt into action as Robert Cath.

If you hid or dumped the body, you can visit him there for the same dialogue as you would've had in the restaurant car. If you let him stew in Whitney's chamber for a long time, he'll eventually give up and return to the restaurant car, where he'll be there to get into a conversation with ms. She must travel by means of this train more often. Anyway, Robert will attempt to socialize with the young woman.

After she declines Robert's offer, you can ask her about the scarf if you picked it up. If you asked her in the hallway, Robert will have inquired twice; she sticks to her answer.

When herr Schmidt is finished with his duck, he will walk over to miss Wolff's table. They are old acquaintances from London. You have the option of mingling with the two by talking to miss Wolff, at which point herr Schmidt will introduce you as Tyler Whitney.

You can also do this if you haven't spoken with herr Schmidt earlier, introducing yourself as Tyler Whitney here. In this conversation, you learn that Tyler was a champion of foreign liberty causes, which is probably the cause of your disagreement surrounding Cuba. Miss Wolff seems quite surprised at hearing your name. If you don't butt in, herr Schmidt will leave the young lady alone when she reminds him of his English wife.

If you spoke with herr Schmidt earlier, he'll discuss miss Wolff's beauty and Jewish heritage with you the latter condescendingly, I might add. If you interrupted the conversation as a stranger, herr Schmidt will make an arrangement with you to meet him in his compartment in five minutes, though I trust you did all this already. He'll leave it around , at which time you can visit you room again.

If you picked the Russian poem from Tyler's briefcase, you can give it to him. Robert will ask for a translation, but aside from learning that it is a Russian fairytale about something called a 'firebird', you learn nothing what you couldn't have extracted from the first few pages of Das Kapital.

Outside in the hallway, you can walk up and down a single time to learn that the second serving is starting in the restaurant car and that conductor Coudert is a sketch artist; a notebook filled with artwork can be found under his chair when he's up and about.

Meanwhile, conductor Mertens will inform you when you meet him that 'his Excellency' invites you to his private car. It sure is an honor, but we've got more to see at the moment. Head back to the restaurant car. Around the same time the Boutarel family takes a seat in the restaurant car, the old man and his granddaughter decide to leave, though they must pass through the lounge car where Alexei is waiting for them.

If you're there with them, you'll get to see Russian struggles personified before you. You can talk to Alexei when the two have left, but you won't help much.

If you choose to linger in the restaurant car, you get to eavesdrop on the Boutarel family fun, but not too important and later on miss Norton and miss de Bretheuill.

You can easily deduce that their relationship goes somewhat further than mere friendship. As long as the ladies are here, and conductor Coudert is occupied, you can enter compartment E and find Ms. Norton's diary under her pillow to give some background story on the travelling companions. Around this time, one of the Serbians will seek out Tyler Whitney in his apartment, who will not be there.

He knows Tyler's face, and spots you looking at the blood stains on the floor. Then, he will brusquely introduce you to the Last Express' combat system. Milos has two attacks; a low slash and a high slash. He will always start with at least two low slashes. You can simply press the action button to move away and avoid Milos' attack. When Milos tries a high slash, grab his arm instead by holding the mouse over his arm and clicking.

Somewhat illogical, but you do get to see Milos' reaction on seeing Tyler dead; he pulls on the emergency brake. If you chose to hide Tyler's body in the bed, you'll be in trouble once Mertens arrives to make your bed. You can talk to him in the hallway to instruct him to leave your compartment alone, you can wait in your compartment and instruct him through the door or throw out Tyler's body just prior to Epernay, which won't alert the police.

Only mlle. Norton are sitting fashionably late in the restaurant car. You can go behind the curtain of the restaurant car to the kitchen where the cook is chewing out an apprentice and beyond, where the luggage is stored. If the trainmaster is there, he'll explain that luggage is off-limits to passengers during the trip, and invites you back to the passenger cars. If he isn't there, you can nose around his documents not at all interesting and proceed up until the locomotive, where you can't find anything of interesting except for a cage with some hay in it, probably for safe-keeping of animals during the trip.

There IS a hidden Easter Egg in the documents of the trainmaster, though. Flip to the last page, then look at the line which starts with the word "mouvements".

A bit will be erased, then something French with an 'a' I cannot discover what it says. Click the 'a' to find a picture of, I believe, one of the designers. Shortly after leaving Epernay, conductor Mertens will complain to conductor Coudert about how little he's got going on. They'll talk about Robert a bit in French, knowing for sure he can't understand them which he can. You can use the distraction provided by conductor Mertens to enter compartment E, though you can't do anything there.

Norton's diary is unavailable, and while you can climb out of the window to take a look through the window of compartment F ms. Wolff's , the curtain is closed. You can't enter compartment F; it's locked, and the growl of a dangerous-sounding dog is heard.

This is a good time to visit Kronos in his private car, since you got nothing going on elsewhere. The painting you pass to your right is a painting called 'Sin' by Franz von Stuck, a depiction of Eve and the snake. Now nice. Kronos' bodyguard Kahina opens the door for you.

In your talk, it becomes apparent that Kronos is a dangerous man. He knows you're Robert Cath and he knows the authorities are after you. He had a deal with Tyler Whitney, and hints at a 'heavy briefcase'. Does he have the gold? Wolff can be found in the lounge car, reading the newspaper. You can engage in a short talk with her about ms. Caillaux and Rasputin, the Russian mystic. Later, herr Schmidt will join her for some pleasantries, at which point you can disturb neither of them.

Kahina, Kronos' bodyguard, will be up and about as well. She'll enter Tyler's room, then try to enter ms. Wolff's which is locked. Then, she'll nose around in chamber C, which is the room of mr. After that, she'll return to Kronos' car. She doesn't really do anything in your room. If you're there when she tries to enter, she won't. You can't open the door when Kahina is in there, so there's no way to catch her snooping through Tyler's stuff. You can, by the way, climb out the window and spy on Alexei now; he'll just be reading through his Nietzsche though, nothing alarming.

Tatiana Obolenskaya brought her grandfather to his bed in compartment A after the nasty encounter with Alexei. After that, you can find her in the space between the first sleeping car and Kronos' private car. If you find her there, then try to leave, she'll ask you for a match. After that, you can ask her about the Russian poem; she'll agree to make a translation for you.

If you never spoke to Alexei, but did witness the scene between the three Russians in the smoking car, you can ask her about Alexei and her grandfather. Around twenty past nine, if you dumped Tyler's body out of the car along the tracks, two members of the French police will enter the train. The trainmaster will talk about a 'routine check', but that needn't be the case; they may actually be looking for you or investigating the case of the body along the tracks.

You cannot meet them, as you'll get a Game Over. Condcutor Mertens will leave the car to discuss the situation with Coudert in the next sleeping car. The smoking car will be locked, so you cannot go that way. If Schmidt was waiting for you, he'll clear your room just in time. You can hide in three ways. You can walk into Tyler's compartment, then open the window and go hang outside until you hear the police leave. Another option is to walk to the next car and entering compartment A, then go into the washroom.

Finally, you could visit Kronos now if you never did before; if you time it right, the coppers will have left by the time your talk with Kronos is over. What you cannot do is hide in your own washroom, or stay in your room and simply lock the door.

You'll just get the same cutscene you get when you meet the police in the hallway, but I assume the conductor can provide them with a key and they're thorough enough to enter your washroom when you find nobody home.

You're in trouble, friend. Boutarel to explain the situation. Coudert will explain about the body; Francois will make a fuss since still nobody will believe him. After that, the trainmaster will make his rounds and inquire with both conductors about the police and how it went down. Past pm immediately after the police leaving, should they have stepped onto the Express , Milos the Serb will come looking for Tyler.

You can wait for him in the compartment or walk in there after you've seen Milos enter the room, you'll get different scenes. If you chose to hang at the edge of the train to hide from the police, Milos will walk in before you get a chance to leave. Tatiana will remain near Kronos' car for a while, then head off to bed. In the red sleeping car, you can find mme. Boutarel complain to conductor Coudert about ms. Wolff's dog. Conductor Coudert remains a perfect gentleman.

Milos, at this stage, can still be found in Tyler's compartment if you chose to ignore him so far. In the lounge car, ms. Wolff is still talking to herr Schmidt, and monsieur Boutarel is enjoying a cigar in solitude. Nothing for you here. In the green sleeping car, the conductors discuss politics. Conductor Coudert has socialist sympathies; conductor Mertens is a young patriot.

They would both turn out to be right; the first world war would be a massacre without winners, but France would take back L'Alsace-Lorraine after the war after a short period of independence. After a while, ms. Wolff will leave, monsieur Boutarel will return to his compartment and then herr Schmidt will leave as well. The two friends from compartment E will enter the lounge car. There's a newspaper here, which you can examine. Among the articles you can find some thing of interest related to this game.

Tension between Serbia and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy is rising after the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand. There's some things about mme. Caillaux, and another example of the article printed on the Belfast murder. American doctor still on the run from the authorities After a while, conductor Coudert will fall asleep in his chair, giving you the opportunity to enter compartment E.

Nothing here still ms. Norton took her diary with her to the lounge car , but you can now climb out the window and spy on ms. Wolff tossing and turning in bed. It serves no purpose but to portray Robert Cath as a peeping tom You can also enter compartment A, the room occupied by the old man Obolensky. This room is always open because Tatiana needs to be able to have access; room E is always open because the girls just aren't all that careful. All the other doors remain closed to you.

At a later time, conductor Mertens will also fall asleep. At this time, when you climb out your window to spy on Alexei, he will be building a bomb. A young Russian revolutionary, on a train with an old Russian noble, while the former is building a bomb? This looks like trouble. You'd better head off to bed as well. If you haven't talked to Milos, he will still be waiting for you in your compartment.

If you haven't talked to Schmidt yet, he will be waiting for you. If you spoke to neither, Schmidt will get up to go to Tyler's cabin as soon as Milos has left. Regardless, you can not get the option of sleeping if you've still got one of the two left on your to-do list. If you chose to hide Tyler's body earlier, now is the time to get rid of his body by throwing it out the window. You will do so above a river.

Tyler's green jacket will remain untouched by Tyler's now-clotted blood. You can choose to stay awake, but you'll have to wait until am until the next activity takes place, and you have nothing to do in the meantime, so I suggest you go to bed. You cannot sleep on the mess, so make your bed and get some rest. You'll appear to wake up, but you cannot look in your inventory or interact with anything in your room. You can go out to the hallway to see that conductor Mertens isn't there.

Alternatively, you can unlock an easter egg; push the top bell near the door three times; the third time, you should hear the bell ring. Enter the hallway to see conductor Mertens. Try to walk towards him to see his head cloven clean off and his body juggle three copies of his own head.

Quite disturbing. Mertens or no Mertens, try as you might, you cannot move an inch from where you're standing, so you can only return to your room, where Tyler Whitney has a message for you You wake up.

Robert Cath isn't ready to continue his rest just yet, so let's walk around a bit. You can check up on Alexei by climbing out the window, but you don't see him.

You can walk to Kronos' private car, and you'll hear the piano being played, though you cannot enter. In the red sleeping car, you'll hear ms.

Anna Wolff play her violin. Knock on her door to engage in some small talk that quickly takes a turn for the Your chatter is interrupted by upheaval in another compartment, and ms. Wolff leaves to check up on it, forcing you out of her compartment as well. You cannot return to it, as Max guards the door. As you near compartment A, you see how Vassili is making a scene while Tatiana doesn't know how to handle it.

Robert expertly diffuses the situation. When all is over, you can eavesdrop at the door to hear ms. Wolff mention how she feels someone was in her apartment.

It certainly wasn't you. Wolff asks Tatiana if it's okay is Tatiana will safeguard 'it'. What is so important? Regardless, when ms. Wolff leaves compartment A, you can talk to her briefly before calm is restored on the Orient Express. Wolff will walk to compartment B one more time, but you cannot interact with her and you cannot hear anything through the door this time. Conductor Coudert will remain awake for a good while.

Time for bed. Bonne nuit, monsieur Cath. If you want to engage in a little morning gymnastics, you can climb out the window to find Alexei reading again. If you stubbornly neglected to collect the W-embroided scarf from beneath the orange box, Robert will pick it up first thing in the morning, nothing you can do about that. In the red sleeping car, conductor Coudert and the trainmaster will discuss in French how the master key that opens all compartment doors was lost during the ordeal with old man Obolensy.

While they appear to suspect Robert most of all, we know that he didn't do it. Tatiana certainly doesn't seem to be the type, and apart from her and ms. Wolff, nobody was up at that hour. A strange affair. In the red car, you can hear ms. Wolff practicing on her violin and the ladies in compartment E having fun. In compartment G, a very important cutscene is waiting for you. Milos Jovanovic owes you an explanation. When you enter, a cutscene will make a lot of things clear. Tyler Whitney got mixed up in the Serbain struggle for independence.

He was ordered to sell a national Serbian treasure, called 'The Firebird' for money, then use this money to purchase weapons from 'the German'. In other words, Tyler was to sell the treasure to Kronos, and use his heavy suitcase of gold to purchase weapons from herr Schmidt.

You found Tyler murdered in his compartment, the treasure gone. No treasure means no gold, no gold means no weapons for the Serbians. They're not pleased. You must recover the treausre or obtain the gold in another way to pay off Schmidt, of you'll find yourself on the bad side of the 'Black Hand', Milos' terrorist group.

In the restaurant car, breakfast is served. Herr Schmidt is dining, the Boutarel family is there as well as Tatiana. Boutarel is angry with her boy, who made contact with the harem. She must be in for hard times, being so suspicious of Persian culture, seeing as to where she's heading. If you talk to Tatiana, she'll thank you for helping out her grandfather and she'll give you the translation to the poem if you gave it to her earlier. If you didn't, Robert will give her the poem for translation automatically.

In any case, she'll walk over to Alexei and have an interesting chat with him in which it becomes apparant they were childhood friends once, when Alexei was a young noble himself.

You can briefly chat with herr Schmidt, who did not wake from his slumber during the events of last night. Always good to know when somebody is a heavy sleeper when you're a thieving rogue like Robert Cath :p You can take a look at conductor Coudert's sketchbook when he's busy with one of the passengers.

He's quite an artist, and he's not too fond of little Francois Boutarel The kid can be found running around as well, blowing his expensive whistle, talking about a black beetle he lost to his mother and entering the harem's chambers, despite his mother's protests. If you sit down in the lounge room, you can find the Francois Boutarel's missing black beetle scurrying about. Use the empty box of matches found in Tyler's jacket, and try to scoop up the beetle when he's near the edge of the table.

If you manage to catch it, Robert will put the beetle away with a satisfied smile. You can trade the captured beetle with Francois for his expensive whistle.

When you meet Francois in the hallway, Robert will refuse to give his prized possession, but later Francois will return with a suitable item to trade it for. The golden scarab whistle can be placed in the orange box in Tyler's room; this is one of the missing treasures! Keep it with you, just to be sure. You can blow on it, but that gets annoying real quick. Note that this is one of two possible solutions, so you need not do this; you'll find the whistle just prior to you really needing it, but it's more satisfactory to have it earlier.

In addition, a renewed newspaper is waiting for you if you are interested in the latest developments. You can knock on Kronos' door this morning. If you heard about "the Firebird" either from Tatiana's translation or from Milos, Robert will use it to persuade Kahina to let you in. If you haven't, you won't get far just yet. After you've talked with Kronos the datura stramonium mentioned by Kronos which was used by Robert to sedate Vassili is a powerful hallucinogen , you can eavesdrop at the door farther down to listen how Kronos instruct Kahina.

Kronos seems under the impression that ms. Wolff has the Firebird, but if that's the case isn't it the Firebird that she entrusted to Tatiana? At any rate, it seems Kronos will stop at nothing to obtain the Firebird. It recounts a popular myth surrounding the Firebird relic. When the ladies of compartment E are out in the restaurant car, you can sneak into their room when conductor Coudert is kept busy or when another passenger is between his sharp eyes and your dealings.

You can read ms. Norton's diary again; it's filled with impressions of the other passengers calling Robert "quite uninteresting" and filled with, for her day and age, deviant feelings for 'her seductress' Sophie and ms. Anna Wolff. The ladies will have a chat on the subject of ms. Norton's diary in the restaurant car if you're there to listen in. Herr Schmidt will join the ladies some time before Munich in the lounge car, but will eventually scare them away when he gets a little too flirtatious.

It's a funny dialogue if you've read ms. Norton's diary which reveals her true feelings on the subject of mr. Schmidt, in conversation polite though she seems. Note how Schmidt will almost fall out of his chair trying to get a good look at the ladies walking away When the ladies have gone off, herr Schmidt will start pacing up and down the hallway.

The Orient Express is almost at Munich, you see, and while he must load the merchandise on the train in Munich, he still hasn't seen his payment. Once you run into him, you'll get into a cutscene about the merchandise. If your German is good enough, you'll learn the merchandise consists out of weapons. You can also see mr. Abbot boarding the train, an Englishman. You find Robert sitting in the lounge car, more than an hour past Munich. Their back-and-forth teasing is amusing, but not really of any consequence to you.

You can follow the trainmaster into the restaurant car. Through the curtain, you can hear him discuss all kinds of matters and passengers with the man who got on in Munich, mr. George Abbot.

In the meantime, August Schmidt seats himself for dinner. You can talk to him briefly and learn he's waiting for a young lady, something he seems pleased as punch about.

It's no surprise this young lady turns out to be ms. You can follow mr. Abbot about, who will seat himself in compartment C next to monsieur Boutarel. Abbot is not the quiet kind, and you can listen in on a long talk during which mr. Abbot does most of the work. Then show it to her again. Then wait. A little after the waiter clears a table and serves Anna, Herr Schmidt will approach her.

Go up to them, and click on Anna, to join in the conversation. He will mock you a little and explain that it is a children's fairytale about a firebird. Vassili and Alexei will start to argue, then Vassili and Tatiana will leave. Talk to Alexei to say "You certainly made a great first impression. Go in, and you will fight. When he swings his knife, dodge it. When he does it horizontally, click on him to grab his hand and end the fight. He will then talk about Tyler, the gold, and the Black Hand.

Go to his car, and knock on the door. Look around, and he will enter, and you will have a conversation. When done, Kahina will show you out. Tatiana will ask you to light her cigarette. She will talk a little about Alexei, and other things.

Give her the scroll. She will give you a translation later. Also, you can hear the Conductors talking about the war, and politics. Now click on the bed to sleep. Tyler will pull an egg out of his mouth, say "Why don't you make it sing? Now go outside again.

Anna will invite inside, and pull a gun on you. She will run outside when she hears moaning, and you will go out too. Follow her, and watch the brief cutscene of you "healing" Vassili Alexandrovich. After, you will leave, but stay to hear them talking about something. Then she will leave, go to her room, and come back out. Talk to her to say goodnight. Then she will give something to Tatiana and then leave, going back to her room.

Now go back to your apartment and go to bed. After Milos goes into his room, the Trainmaster comes, and talks to the conductor. They say there is a master key that opens all the doors, that was lost in the confusion of the Count. They suspect you of stealing it, but that's not true! She will talk about her grandfather, then give you the translation to the poem.

He will say that he didn't wake up with the shouting. Wait by Francois' room, until he comes out. Show him the beetle. He will return later. Follow him. He will go to the harem, come out, go to his room, and give you the whistle in exchange for the bug.

Knock on his door. Kahina will shut the door in your face. Knock it again, and they will let you in. You will have a brief conversation about the Firebird, then he will leave. Tatiana and Alexei are playing chess. Boutarel and George Abbot are staying. They will talk a little, then the Boutarels will leave to the dining car. Click on him to have a rather long conversation about various things on the train and politics. Read the newspaper if you want.

Notice that August and Anna move into the parlor later. Also, Madame Boutarel will complain about the dog some more. In the bottom drawer of her dresser, there is a letter.

Grab and read it to find out she is an Austrian Spy! Then, go look at the front of her jewelry box. Push the bottom ruby to open it, and grab the key. Now exit. Get out the key, and open the right door. Climb up the ladder. Go to your apartment, and slide it under your bed. Go into the washroom, open the door underneath the sink and grab the Firebird. Go into Vassili's room, and he will say that maybe it will sing for you.

Now go out of the room to escape. Go to the dining car, and wait for the Trainmaster to come out. Quickly go in, and go to the end of the baggage car. Look at the kennel. Click on it twice to let the dog it, the look inside, and click in the storage area to put the Firebird inside it. Of course, you cannot get in with the conductor, but when he is distracted or his view is blocked, take the key and enter.

You can check out his gun and cigars, and even more important: a letter that proves that he is a spy! Another one? If you do, check out Tatiana's book and suitcase, as well as her ballerina picture. Check out Sophie and Rebecca's diary to see what they've been thinking.
