The Mistery
An Online Horror Adventure By The MisteryMaster
Walkthrough by Inferno
August 2002
Note
This is an online point and click
adventure game. Its genre appears to be Horror and
there are bits and pieces from ancient religions and mythology.
This is an extremely interesting game with a subject matter that
can be gory and explicit at times.
Saving Your Game
You can die in this adventure. Its
important to save your game so if this happens you can go back to
a start point of your choosing; rather then that of the MisteryMasters.
Although in some areas of the game you can just click on the
Redisplay tab at the top of your browser. The Back
button will bring you back to the beginning of the Gate that you
attempting at the time; to optimally save your game, a good
suggestion would be to create a Mistery Saved Games
folder in your browsers Favorites or Bookmarks
section. Then add the areas you wish to save to that
folder. Keep in mind that there are specific areas that you may
save. These are usually at the beginning of each level and
sometimes just before a Gate.
Good Save Points
Searches
This is an important part of game play as many questions are posed regarding mythology and the ancient religions. You might want to consider having 3 browsers open while you play so that you may be able to toggle between them.
Entering the Answers
Use only lowercase letters, no capitals in your answers.
Spoilers
As for the rest of this walkthrough Ill give you what you need to find and where you can search to find it. But for the actual words to type in and solves for puzzles youll find these on the very last page in the Spoiler Section (Sorry Im a meannie .yeah, I know.)
The Beginning
Go to the website. http://www.pcpop.nl/ Wait to load. This sometimes takes a while for those of us with phone connections, but dont dishearten! Its definitely worth the wait. Click on the skull.
You should hear a voice saying Excellent (hey, isnt that reminiscent of the voiceover for the set up mode in Ripper??? Hmmm, so hes in Hell too? )
At the next screen you can click anywhere. The
screen changes to: 
Followed by The Mistery Screen; which scrolls by and blows up! Wonderful stuff!
Here you can click on any number of the skulls and listen to all kinds of sound effects.
As you pass the cursor over the skulls their eye cavities will light up red. But the arrow points to the only one youll need to open the Crypts Gate. (Third skull in from the right.). Click on it, then click on the opening to the crypt.
Ring of Skulls
There are 7 skulls (like the 7 gates ) youll need to activate here. Think of the ten skulls as initialization points to activate the 7 gates of Hell. That means there are only 7 skulls you need to click on but which ones?? If you randomly click on them; eyes glow green, red and white. Click on the wrong one and youre back at the beginning of the puzzle as hideously mocking laughter follows you.
There is a pattern here. The middle skulls eyes, in the center of the circle (the one with the four tiny skulls around it), must glow green, a violet flame must appear at the top of its head and then the four surrounding skulls must be lit with fire. When this is done the large center skulls eye sockets will glow red. Next you must make them glow white. Then you must make them turn blue. (Heres lookin at you, kid!) The final correct skull activates the gates and youre ready to enter The Place of Hell; Where Evil Hides.
Right before The Crypt
of Doom Screen appears
youll get a message:
Remember this password.
Click on the gate to enter. WHOOPS! Who was that??? Remember that password? Well, now would be a good time to use it. If you typed in the right password, the real game begins here.
Note
It seems that throughout the rest of The Mistery, youll be required to perform many searches. Ill warn you now: the best hint to surviving this game is to give it exactly what it asks for and all words with no capitals in your answers. You can either choose to use The Overtures Search Engine provided during game play or (if youre like me...) open a separate browser for your searches. Ive also found that Overture was fine; but Google was much more to the point.
Ex:: In Overture: if you type in: This outlaw was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri.You would receive no matches.You would have to change the wording to: Who was shot at his home in 1882 St. Joseph Missouri The answer is the first one on your list. InGoogle: This outlaw was shot at his home in 1882 St. JosephMissouri This search engine will give you the answers the first time around for most of the questions.
The next question unless you are extremely specific in Overture you will get the wrong answer (it aint Eric, folks!) So I would advise to use Google as much as you can. Once you have figured out these answers click on the message on each gravestone in turn. A cell will appear above it. Click there to type in your answer (remember MisteryMaster doesnt like uppercase letters) Then click the skull beneath it. Do this for each question. If you were right youll move on to:
Now heres a really jolly fellow!
Geez Louise! What a voice
sort of Vincent Pricey isnt
he?? If you go to Google and do an
exact search youll get: http://homepages.ius.edu/RVEST/Beast666.htm
The Electric Gate
Now how do I get through this gate you might well ask. Some of adventurers refer to this screen as the Electricity Gate. Why??? Click on the posts and youll see.
Go ahead; Ill wait ..
Back already??? Lightening bolts, huh? The trick here is to click on the two posts (use the circles that face you) so that each nodule (there are 4 facing each other) send a bolt of lightening to the Gate Lock in the center of the Gate. Try it. (Got it? No? Oh well. Not to worry the answer is on the last page.)
Gate Lock
The Next screen gives you a close up of the Gate Lock. Pretty interesting, huh? This is where those web searches will come in handy just what do you know about The Number of The Beast??? Lets do some searches:
http://homepages.ius.edu/RVEST/Beast666.htm
http://www.aloha.net/~mikesch/666.htm
http://www.cforc.com/kjv/Revelation/13.html: this is the one you want .can you find the verse?
No, not exactly, but something very, very close isnt it? Whats the Chapter and Verse? Well, we know its Revelations Chapter 13 and the Verse is .. is .. (The Answer well, you know where to find it.)
Click the bottom stone (#11)
Et voila! The gate lock blows up sending you into:
Here we come across a graveyard with many tombstones and gravesites. Theres a particular obvious one here with a strange glow issuing forth. Dare we examine it??
Oh, why not! Go ahead, click on all the head stones. If you read carefully youll understand that this place is very special. Lots of clues and hints here. The answer to this puzzle is given to you.
Here is what the Soulkeeper wants you to do.
The answer can be found in something to do with sixes. 666 maybe???
Or does it refer to a particular language?
Or maybe how many letters in the name youre searching for???
Hmm Michael Scheiflers Bible Light & 666? What was that search??
http://www.biblelight.net/666.htm
666 Hmmmm Could it be referring to that article??? The answer is here
.and here! Didnt work?
Maybe you should try typing in the translated name you found from your search at Bible Light.
Or
You could check the last page
When you think you know the name.
Click on the gargoyle on your right and enter the name then click again.
Ok. After all this research (Dont worry, I know you read everything and you now have the answer ) So click on the center tombstone. Click on the gargoyle to your right. Type in your answer, then click on the skull to your right.
OR
Check the last page and type in your answer and click on the skull on your right.
The SoulKeepers Grave
In the graphic screen you view a very dark picture indeed. Not only in terms of horror but literally. This is one dark picture. Welcome to the MisteryMasters Pixel Hunt There are lots of places to click here. Youll be able to find 9 objects. 6 of those have pretty good hints about what happens in the next level. Out of those 6 youll only need 2 to continue the game.Happy Hunting!
The numbers on the graphic above are approximately where the nine items are hidden.
The first two in the upper left hand corner are two scrolls, one on the Egyptian Book of the Dead and the Seven Arits (1) the other on The Legend of Charon. (2) Be sure to read them both. The one below them is where the Sowilo Rune (3) is hidden, make a note of it (youll need it later.) The numbers 4 and 5 to the Runes immediate right hides The Useless Sword (4) and The Talisman (5) which releases a demon. Underneath these youll find The Ancient Artifact (6). This holds an important clue for the next Gate.
Click on it to open the scroll to find the clue. If you click on the dead childs mouth, youll find The Coin of Charon (7). In the nose of the skull on the right youll discover The Smell of Death (8) and awaken The Gatekeeper. The last one in the center bottom holds The Key (9). This unlocks the grave and allows you to enter. You need this key and the coin to continue. Youll need the information and clues from the others to help you later on in the adventure so note them well.
Note:
You may only click on an item once. If you need to see it again youll have to hit the redisplay button at the top of your browser and begin again...
Once youve found the key, click on it. Then click on the gargoyle in the center of the key... Youre in! All you have to do now is click on the doorway. Its on the upper right of your screen. Its open now you can go in leave your fears behind you as you pass through. Muahhaahaahaahaaha (..sorry).
So, you know what that means a search:
Type: arits into Google and youll get:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/(1)/~drokk/BoD/arit.html The first choice
Type: arits into Overture and youll get:
http://www.lysator.liu.se/~drokk/BoD/arits.html as well, but its the third choice.
First Gate
Ishtars Anagram Puzzle
This puzzle is rather complicated, so if you get frazzled you know where to find the answer. However if bravery is taking hold, do the web search above and find out who the DoorKeeper is for the First Arit the First Gate.
What are the four names of the Demon of Chaos?
What is the Doorkeepers name?
Sekhet-her-asht-aru
The riddle is asking you to find the 4th name of the Demon of Chaos. That would be REREK. It tells you then to subtract these letters R-E-R-E-K from the Doorkeepers name: SEKHET HER ASHT ARU. When this is done you we have the following:
SEKHET-HER-ASHT_ARU
or SHTHEASHTAU. In the riddle, it asks you to replace
the rest, as it suits best. Hmmmn; an anagram
maybe? Yup! Now how are you supposed to figure thisout?
Well, look at the screen. Why are the last three words written
in red? This must be a clue.
THAT SHE HAS _____ = SHTHEASHTAU. Do you see it now? No?
THAT = SHTHEASHTAU
SHE= SHTHEASHTAU
HAS= SHTHEASHTAU
???= U
That means U must be the answer. (Just remember the golden rule here, NO UPPER CASE LETTERS.)
Note: It is at this point here that you are welcomed into the 6th Level. You may either choose to click on the book and sign the guest register (use your browsers back button to return to the game) or just click the next button and carry on.
The Monster Name Generator
MisteryMaster wants to give you a nickname while you play. Take it. The action itself is an important clue. Go ahead, dont be afraid.
Type in a first name and a last.
Hey, where are we? Is that another lightening bolt I see .yup! Click on it. OOOOOOHHHH!!! A dark figure. Lets click on that too.
You have the answer from one of your searches. The one about The Book of the Dead.
Heres another one which gives them all to you in one shot: http://www3.sympatico.ca/untangle/ebd7arit.html
Find it??? Good. If not, you know where to look.
The Bottles of Hell Judgment
Next comes The Bottles of Hell Judgment Choose wisely, for the end result of this puzzle leads into another that has been known to drive many a gamer screaming wildly into the night!! Click on the statue of Osiris. Youll be given 3 bottles to choose from.
Choose the second bottle. Click on the skull at the pinnacle of the roof top. Gee, you turned those flames blue. Whos this Unhat guy anyway? Maybe we should check The Book of the Dead again. As you can see from your search Unhat is the name of the doorkeeper, but what of the watcher of the second Arit or Gate? Useful information, sure. Click on that little skull again (on the mausoleum) and enter. MisteryMaster will now demand the nickname for the wife of Osiris. Where did you get a nickname before? Thats right! MisteryMasters own Monster Nickname Maker Use it! But what name should we use? Isis ? Ishtar? Horus Mummy? No, too obvious Didnt we just see a clue before?
Now that you know her nickname, enter it into the scales.
(Still dont know it??? Check the end page for the answer.)
The Netherworld
After you get through the Scales of Judgment, youll be presented with yet another Gate. Read carefully and youll get the clue right away.
Now lets take a look at this where did we see a Rune??? A Rune of Victory? Those of you who looked some more did.
I remember do you? Check back to The Fourth Level and the SoulKeepers Grave. The Sowilo Rune what did that look like? Click on The Gargoyle; Now you have 5 runes to choose from. Choose wisely.
Next, MisteryMaster gives you an overt clue:
The clue is asking you to do a search looking for the Powers of Marduk. Maybe the sixteenth power? Maybe the sixteenth name??? Now, the answer of course is at the end in the Spoilers Section; but for those intrepid few who dare try this search: http://www.mds.mdh.se/~kem93mkn/fiftynam.htm
Click on this talisman (which is also the sixteenth Talisman of Marduk). Youll find a green tombstone, click on it and enter the 16th name of Marduk and open the golden gates of hell.
Here are two searches about Ishtar and her descent into Hell Through the Seven Gates:
http://www.gatewaystobabylon.com/myths/texts/classic/ishtardesc.htm
http://www.piney.com/Ishtar.html
After arriving at the Golden Gates of Hell, we come upon yet another burial place. There are many stones to click on here. Some of the names you may find strangely familiar; still other just strange. Click every where you can. You are looking for clues and a way out of here! The three Xs approximately represent where you need to click. The one on the face of the crypt will give you a headstone with many names on it. At the top it reads psalm 55:10
Psalm 55:10 For beasts of forests, cattle all on thousand hills are mine.
The X
on your left side of the crypt will yield yet another clue. It
reads Ezekiel 8.
Both of these are quotes from the Bible.
This search will help:
http://www.hope.edu/academic/religion/bandstra/BIBLE/EZE/EZE8.HTM
Ezekiel 8
And he brought me to the entrance of the court; I looked, and there was a hole in the wall. 8Then he said to me, "Mortal, dig through the wall"; and when I dug through the wall, there was an entrance. 9He said to me, "Go in, and see the vile abominations that they are committing here."
Save this information youll need it in a few .
Once you have that information click where the X on the right side just underneath that little gargoyle wing:
This is where you need to click to bring up the Sanctuary of Ishtar. When the Sanctuary appears click on it. You now see the door to the crypt. Just above the door to the left and right there are 2 square slabs click on either one in turn. The one on the left first shows The Talisman of Ishtar, but if you click on it again it speaks of the name and number of INANNA (another name for Isis or Ishtar) this is a very important clue! The one on the right,holds a foreboded warning (click on it again for the English version). Now click on the one in the center to take you back to the graveyard. (Isnt that lil demon a cutie??) now click on the very front of the crypt (X marks the spot!)
The front tombstone will come forward and ask you for the sacred number of Ishtar. Dont know it??? Well looks like its time for another search: http://www.mesopotamia.co.uk/gods/explore/ishtar.html
Enter the sacred number and click on the gargoyle. Now you must dig. Where? Through the wall of the Tomb, silly!
(Actually all you have to do is click on it approximately where the little X is in the graphic above.)
This will bring you to Ishtars Sanctuary; to enter it, you must knock three times. Do exactly as it says; knock three times (in your case, remember youre playing a point and click adventure here. So ..that means youll be clicking.)
Just one more puzzle and its off to the next Level. What was left behind? Click on the middle plaque:
You can click on the other two, but its the middle one that gives the answer. (In this game as you probably have guessed by now what MisteryMaster asks for is the answer!!. bSo, then Byblos is the answer. Did you type it in? No good? No capitals? Still no good? Hmmmn. Did you read that little part about that it has to be in Greek?
Time for yet another search: http://www.middleeastuk.com/destinations/lebanon/byblos.htm
(I did this one in Google, entering byblos &Greek) it was second on the list.
Did you find it? About the 3rd paragraph down. Of course you could just look at the last page for the answer too.
Enter the answer and click on the gargoyle. Youll see a bouncing arrow atop the coffin.
Looks like a clue to the next level and gate. Go ahead and click on it.
Cerberus
Cerberus I know him. Wasnt he in The Harry Potter Movie? Yeah he played Fluffy. Well, he also was used to guard the entrance to Hades. And for now, hes your password into Level Eight. Lets click on the papyrus and go on to the next level. Here, yet another desiccated resident of the underworld demands a password. Type in the word cerberus and click away to the Fifth Gate.
Uh, oh! theres a book there that could mean only one thing, more searches and more reading. Actually this is quite an educational game, isnt it?? So, what do you know about the mighty Hercules and his 12 Labors??? Or more importantly, his friends, because thats the answer MisteryMaster is looking for here! Click on the cave and type one name in the left box and the other name in the right box. And give that poor doggie a bone! ( still having trouble? You know where the answers are by now.)
However for those of you, who insist on doing it yourself, I provided yet another search to get you started: http://www.clubi.ie/lestat/ofgodsh.html
Click on the door in front of you and follow me along for a little modern age torture
This one is the unsuspectingly easy one. Just click your heart out and kill the pop up ads; (ok, ok!There is a detailed spoiler for this one in The Spoiler Section.) Now this really was torture for me. I hate popup ads! Just remember to click over the same spots again at the bottom. The door will eventually open and youll be presented with:
Solomons Gate
A boiler room of sorts. See how the spigots turn on and off? Theres a pattern here. Can you find it?
Theres a valve in the middle (well call that one M) and a valve on the far right (that will be R) Theres a lever on the far left (that one will be L) and a little one in the middle that freely turns. Try the following: M-R-L-R-M, then turn the little free wheeling one. Be careful that you dont accidentally hit the free wheeling one as youre turning the valves on and off... When this is done correctly youll get: A pool of blood, which will promptly turn into a pile of gray salt. (hey, you use your imagination and Ill use mine!) Click on the pile of gray salt (WOW!) It turned into a gray rock! Click in the gray rock. Now theres a pentagram! Click on the pentagram. Yuk! Now theres a dead guy! Click on the dead guy. What is that on his chest? (actually, its the answer to the puzzles in the next level but because its too faint to make out, well have to solve those the long way!) Click on the faint black Pentacle of Solomons Key on the dead guys chest.
(If I remember my high school Latin correctly the words on this screen tell you to put something in the dead guys right hand but Im just guessing here.)
Click on the Pentacle of Solomons Key. Yikes! Its the Scary Red Icon! Click on the Scary Red Icon. It will go to the left of the screen. Grab it and put it in the dead guys right hand. (another pixel hunt! It should be just a hair above his fingers.) And after some wailing and gnashing of teeth, were in!
The keys of Solomon
You find yourself in front of a desolate Mausoleum. One in which, has three doors. Go through the middle door.
To get through this gate you must solve the riddle that MisteryMaster has imposed upon you. (Although, he did give you the answers they are within that pentacle on the dead guys chest If only you could interpret that pentacle, you could solve the game straight away!) However, if youre like most of us in the modern world, your Pentacle Interpolation Skills are probably like mine .NON EXISTENT!!! Anyway you come across an ancient gaming board:
Time to play, Time to Die Time to do another search.
http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/kos/kosfig.htm
You need to find the correct pentacle from the Keys of Solomon and unlock the Sixth Gate.
Remember the pentacle that was on the dead guy?? You have to find the right one. Press the various patterns on the board and you find a planet below it. Click on the planet to get the various pentacles. Theyre all different. The key here is to read what they are. Youre looking for one that will unlock or open the gate. When you find a likely one, click on it and it will disappear and return you outside the mausoleum. Enter the door on your left. Dont forget to open the grate first then click again to enter. Click on the pentagram, it will change to a six pointed star. Click on it again to reveal the code. Click one more time to return to the outside of the mausoleum and enter the door on the far right.
Now to test it and see if youre right.
Click on the specter sitting in the chair and a place will appear where you can enter your code. Enter it. If its the right one it will cause the last doorkeeper to disappear. Click on the doorway to enter:
If not, youll have to repeat the process again (Or, you could check The Spoiler Section for the answer).
Notice what is surrounding the door. Planets: well, the names of 6 of them Mercury, Mars, Moon on the left and Saturn, Venus, Jupiter on the right. What are those pots along the sides of the stairs? Click on them. Anything interesting happen? No? Try the one on the right, in the middle. Hmmmn multicolored and sound effects. What are the others? Red, Green, Blue are on the left from bottom to top and Grey, Multicolored, Black are on the right from bottom to top as well. Where did you see an explanation of the planets and their colors before?
Oh yes, it was here: http://www.sacred-texts.com/pag/kos/kosfig.htm
So the idea here is to match up the planets with their colors in the order of the planet names located around the door from left to right in sequence. Choose the wrong pot (there will be no sound) and youll have to start over. When you click on the right color a sound will signal your success. (And, as always, the answer is...well you know the rest!)
Thus ends the Twelfth Level and The Seven Gates of Hell. I found it to be an intriguing and fascinating game. I hope this is not the last well hear from MisteryMaster. I look forward to his next adventure.
