I'm in the Motel Lobby…What do I
do?
- Get your 1st bahos stick from the "jack in the box" by ringing the bell (see below).
- Read the note in the #6 mail slot behind the desk and note Pearl's phone number
(555-6312). Call the number.
- Read the insurance letter on the desk
- Read the bible in the desk drawer
- notice the razor (you can't take it) in another drawer
- purchase some batteries from the vending machine (after you find a quarter in Phil's Market-See question below)
- Take the odd shaped object from the bottom, right drawer. You'll need this piece in the library (see that section for more information).
- take the used chewing gum from the ash tray
- stick some gum over the red light on the TV (see below for reason)
- This is also a good time to watch the music videos on the TV (use gum first)
What do I do in the Motel
Rooms?
In Room #5
- Listen to all your phone messages
- Listen to the radio stations
- use your key to open your locked truck. Get the video cassette from the trunk and look at the various papers in there too.
- Watch the video cassette in the VCR
- You will find a bahos stick in one of the dresser drawers (It appears their later in the game so check it often.
- Notice the picture of the griffin over the dresser (this is a clue to a puzzle)
- Get the bahos stick from the bottom dresser drawer (It's not there at the beginning of the game. You must first call Dark Cloud on the phone before it will show up here. Refer to the section below on the Café). Here is the corresponding petroglyph puzzle solution for this bahos stick:
In Room #6
- Get the crow bar from the floor
- Listen to the phone messages
- look through the wallet on the dresser
- You might find a chess piece in one of the dresser drawers. These chess pieces are used on a puzzle in the gas station. There are four pieces to find and the appear to be scattered randomly throughout Cyclone
- You can NOT do anything with the camera on the floor.
Every time I click on a TV, I get
"transported" someplace! Why?
Every television set in Cyclone (except in the two
motel rooms) has a red light on its upper left corner. This light is
hypnotizing and should be avoided. Use the used chewing gum from the motel
lobby to cover these lights. You'll then be able to watch Trip Cyclone music
videos etc. and get important hints.
What are all these numbers I keep seeing
on papers?
Numbers such as 1-9-18-8-3 are actually codes.
You'll see these numbers in several location in the game such as on the letter
from your trunk in the motel and in Wendy's notebook. The code is a variation
of the alphabet. Each code number represents its alpha equivalent LESS FOUR.
For example: The number 18 would translate to the letter N. 18-4=14. N
is the 14th letter in the alphabet. The following chart is the
completed code listing.

Therefore, the above code (1-9-18-8-3) would
translate to "WENDY"
Where do I find these Bahos Sticks and
how many are there?
The sticks are located all over the town of Cyclone
(usually hidden by puzzles). You'll get your first stick from the front desk
of the motel. Ring the bell on the counter! Get the stick and take it to the
canyon. Don't forget to notice the shape of the symbol on the box which the
bahos was in. You'll need to find the same shape inside the canyon.
There are a total of 12 Bahos sticks to
find.
I've got a Bahos Stick but I don't know
what to do with it.
You must bring your stick into Devil's Mouth
Canyon. You can see the location of the canyon from your map.
I keep getting killed in the
Canyon….Help!
Each of the 12 Bahos sticks has a corresponding
symbol. The symbol for each stick is always displayed close to the location of
where you found the stick. When you get to the Canyon with your stick, find
the same (or similar) symbol (called a "petroglyph") on one of the canyon's
walls. A puzzle will appear whenever you click on a corresponding petroglyph.
The following is a picture of the solution for your first petroglyph (for the
bahos you found in the lobby of the motel office).
Once you solve the petroglyph puzzle, proceed
through the canyon until you find a locked, wooden door (blue in color). Click
on the box to the right of the door to reveal a skull. Clicking on the skull
will open the door to the altar. If you fail to solve the petroglyph puzzles,
the skull will not allow you access to the altar room.
Always try to save your game at the mouth of the
canyon because the petroglyphs will try to steal your life essence. This makes
it important for you to quickly find and click on the petroglyph you're
looking for.
These music videos don't seem to tell me
anything.
Pay close attention to the actors. Their body
language can show a lot. You may also want to turn on the captioning feature
so that you can see the lyrics.
I need help opening the warehouse
door.
You will notice that there is one bar missing from
the center of the puzzle. You must find this bar before you can open the door
(see above). Put the bar from the CD case in its place on the door puzzle.
Move the sliders to match the position which were displayed to you on the
paper from the CD. If you forgot what they were, you can use the "flashback"
feature on your menu bar. Each of the bars in the puzzle will turn when you
click on them.
What do I do in the warehouse?
There is a cassette tape hidden inside the cymbals.
The tape has a recording of Dark Cloud's chant. Use it with the cassette tape
player (see Pearl's House section for more information).
Go into the recording room and look through
Olivia's notebook. Pay attention to the chess board layout. This image will
also be stored in your "flashback" inventory.
Look inside the van. Now you must solve the puzzle
in the crate to get another Bahos stick. Here is the solution to the marble
puzzle inside the crate. This solution was provided by Mona on the Sierra
message board…Many thanks to her!:
Number along the top, left to right, one through
seven. And letters A through G down the side, top to bottom. Move the marbles
in the following order:
6G-3G, 1F-1C, 2A-5A, 7F-7G, 7G-6G, 7B-7F, 6E-7E (FREE), 7E-7B, 2C-2D (FREE), 2D-1D, 1D-1F, 5D-5E, 5E-7E (FREE), 2B-2D (FREE), 3B-3C (FREE), 5B-2B, 2B-2A, 5F-5B, 5B-2B, 4C-4B, 3F-5F, 6F-6D, 6D-5D, 6C-6E, 3C-6C, 3D-3B, 2D-3D, 2E-2C, 4E-4F (FREE), 6E-1E, 6C-6F, 6B-6E, 6E-4E, 4B-6B, 5A-5B, 2C-6C, 2F-2C, 2C-4C, 4F-2F, 3G-3F, 1E-2E, 1C-2C,
7E-6E
Here is the solution to the corresponding
petroglyph puzzle:
What do I do with this $2.50 change I
have?
You need to buy some batteries for your cassette
player. You can buy the batteries from the vending machine in the motel lobby.
However, they cost $2.75. You can find that extra quarter on the floor in the
market store by the cola machine. Once you get that extra quarter, add it to
your other $2.50 by viewing the change with the eye on your menu bar. Add the
extra quarter to Your $2.50 using this close-up view.
What do I do in Phil's Market
Store?
- You need to get the 25 cent piece from the floor by the cola machine (see above).
- Click on one of the tiles on the windowsill to reveal a hidden token. Take the token and insert it into the vending machine. Press the cola buttons to get a mechanical, letter decoder. You will use the letter decoder on information you get from the computer in the Safari Savings and Loans building.
- Solve the egg puzzle in the cooler to get a Bahos stick. The following is the egg puzzle solution and the corresponding petroglyph puzzle solution for this bahos stick:
The white dots on each openings indicate how many
spaces the egg will be tossed. Your objective is to get the egg into the
bottom, right opening. Use these moves to solve the puzzle:
| 1 | 13 | 14 | ||||
| 6 | 7 | 8 | 5 | |||
| 2 | 3 | 4 | ||||
| 16 | 12 | 15 | 9 | 17 | ||
| 11 | 10 | 18 |
- If there is a rattle snake in a terrarium on the counter, come back to the store later and it will be gone. Look inside the terrarium at the yellow dish. Use the code on the dish to open the cash register on the counter. Get the "S" piece from inside the cash register. This piece will be used in the library later.
I'm in the Gas Station…What do I
do?
- Look at the paper on the wall which talks "black is the warrior from the lands above." You must locate 4 various chess pieces from around Cyclone. Collect them in your inventory until you have all four. Suggested places to look are in the jail cell at the sheriff's office, in the card catalogue at the library, in the mouth of the wooden bird in Pearl's house and in the dresser drawers of the motel rooms.
- There is a chess board located in a drawer in the main part of the gas station. Examine your chess pieces using the eye on your menu bar. Notice that each piece is labeled with a position. Place the pieces on the board according to the diagram in Olivia's notebook.
The drawer below this one will pop open. Read the note and take the screw driver.
- Use the screwdriver to pry open the locked desk drawer
- Take the gas can from the desk drawer
- Click your gas can on the gas pump hose outside the gas station. It will fill with diesel fuel. You will use this fuel in the mines.
- Click on the compressor unit in the garage part of the station. This compressor is used to lift the car. Start the compressor by flipping up the switch to the left of the gauge. You may then spin the handle until the pressure reaches 230 (you can spin the wheel in both directions to get the proper setting). This compressor will NOT work until you complete the chess puzzle in the other part of the gas station. Once you have the proper pressure set, you may then pull the control lever at the opposite side of the room to raise the car. You will find Dave's notebook under the car. Read it and take the key for the church's donation box. Note: You MUST watch the music videos for any of this to work. The number 230 was displayed in one of the videos on a car's license plate.
I'm in the Bakery…What do I
do?
- Listen to the phone messages
- Take the music box from the counter (its beside the telephone). Examine the music box with the eye on your menu bar.
- Solve the donut puzzle in the large oven for a bahos stick. Pull the red lever on the oven an then open the oven door to activate the puzzle. Here is the solution for the donut puzzle and the corresponding petroglyph puzzle:
Move the donut which is in position # 4 to position # 1
Move the donut which is in position # 6 to position # 9
Move the donut which is in position # 8 to position # 3
Move the donut which is in position # 2 to position # 5
Move the donut which is in position # 10 to
position # 7
I'm in the Church…What do I do
here?
- Look at the donation box…It's locked. Use the key which you found in Dave's notebook under the car in the garage (see the Gas Station section for more information). Read the note in the donation back, The note will be saved in your "flashback."
The picture is the solution for the locked door
puzzle in the library (see the Library section for more
information).
- Click on the altar's pulpit to watch a Dark Cloud movie
- Look at the shoes in the office
- look at the check book in the desk drawer (it will be saved in "flashback")
- Notice the dynamite in the desk drawer
- Listen to the phone messages
- Take the cross symbol from the desk drawer (this will be used in the library)
- Look at the picture on the wall
- Complete the bingo ball puzzle to get a bahos stick. Simply move the balls around in their paths until you have them in numeric order (1,2,3,4…). Completing this puzzle will give you a bahos stick. Here is the corresponding petroglyph puzzle solution:
I'm in the Café…What do I?
- Take the flower from the vase on the counter
- Look at the menu and get the computer disk (5.25"…hahahaha!)
- One of the pictures on the wall is "hot." Click on the picture and look at Olivia's drawing which is hidden under the back matting of the picture (drawing will be saved in your "flashback"). This drawing is the solution to a puzzle in the cemetery.
- Get the small piece of finger-printed paper off the weird figure on the stove.
- Light the candle on one of the dinning tables with one of your matches (found in Burt's trailer behind the paining of Norah). Hold the finger-printed piece of paper up to the flame to reveal Dark Cloud's phone number (hay, everybody has a phone!). Get to a phone and call Dark Cloud (the number is 555-9547)
- Get the "flamingo" keys which are hanging on the wall across from the stove. These keys are to Pearl's house.
- In the office, read the ledger and the note from Burt inside the ledger. Listen to the phone messages (if any). Look at the photos in the draw and the satellite TV contract.
I found a flower in the café. What do I
do with it?
This is described in one of the music videos. Go to
the cemetery and place the flower in its place on the statue (with wings). Now
click on each one of her toes from left to right. The toes will bend when you
click on them. If they do not bend when click, then you have not watched all
the videos! Go to your nearest TV and watch the videos again. An opening will
appear at the base of the statue after you click the toes. Take the bar from
the CD case and make note of the paper diagram on the CD case. These items
will be used at the warehouse.
I'm in the Cemetery…What do I
do?
- Use the flower from the Café as described above
- Read the headstones (two of them can be clicked on)
- Go to the Mausoleum at the far end of the cemetery. Pay close attention to the inscription on the "head stone." The date of death is important to solve another puzzle.
- Complete the picture puzzle by rotating and moving the pieces around. The end result should look like Olivia's drawing which you can find in the café. This is what it looks like:
I found this puzzle to be difficult even with
knowing what it should look like. After you finish the puzzle, a door at the
bottom of the mausoleum will open. Inside you will find the rock covered body
of Norah. Read the inscription. Nothing else can be done in this room (seems
like a lot of work for nothing! However, near the end of the game, the key to
Max's INSIDE door (not the front gate or front door) will be placed in
this mausoleum for you to retrieve (see the section on Max's Cave for more
information).
