CHAPTER 5
Confession of the Truth
Another nightmare – the morgue, the saw, the body and the head of Dr. Hermann. Samuel is awakened again by Bates. Ashburry’s head nurse called and wants you to go there. The weather is foul.
Murder pouring like rain
Ashburry – Ring the doorbell. Talk to the nurse. Robert is dead. He and James were found at the lighthouse. When the nurse leaves, enter James’ cell. See James hanging from the ceiling. Look at Samuel’s name on the wall in blood. Click on James to get Robert’s key. Go to the plastered hole and use the small knife on it. The knife breaks. Talk to Ralph and find out that James didn’t kill Robert and knows who killed Robert.
Lighthouse at Sharp Edge – Look at dark hole. Use lit lighter on the dark hole and see another symbol. Click William’s diary on symbol to record it.
Morgue – Ring the doorbell and nobody answers. Click on door and find it open. Go down to the morgue. Click on the sheet of the body on the table. It is Dr. Hermann. His head is in the bucket. After Samuel’s bout at the sink, look at the symbol on the sink. Click William’s diary on symbol to record it. See the rise of an altar on a tower in front of a throne. The tower came up from a green abyss. It seems that the 5 mortals’ statement on the book found with Marcus is coming true. Mordred is coming! Look at the body again and see his clamped hand holds something but you can’t open the fingers. Go to the lamp at the table at far wall. Click on drawer for a close up look at the table. Take the medical forceps. Click on the book at the drawer to get small plastic bags. Go back to the body and use the forceps on Hermann’s hand to see hairs. Use plastic bag on hair.
Black hair – James has black hair. You need to get a sample. The doorbell rings. Meet Detective Collier at the foyer. He blames James for all the killings.
Get some of James’ hair
Ashburry – Ring the doorbell and talk to nurse. Find out that James’ body is at the chapel in the old graveyard behind the sanatorium.
Chapel at Graveyard – Go left and back of the sanatorium. Talk to the boiler man and he won’t talk to you. Go to the graveyard at left and see that the chapel is locked.

Get the chapel keys
James’ cell – Go to the front of the sanatorium and climb down the sewer to James’ cell. Go out of cell and to the boiler room.
Boiler room – Look at the locker close to the exit of the boiler room. See and take the man’s rubber boots. Hmm… Get the rag from the rail by coal. Use rag on boiler door. Too hot. Go back to James’ cell and wet the rag either from the fountain in the foyer of the sanatorium or the tap by the toilet in James’ cell to get a wet rag. Back at the boiler room, open the boiler using the wet rag. Try to throw the rubber boots in boiler. It is best to turn the valve above the boiler door to shut the vent to the chimney. Place the rubber boots in boiler. Automatically leave the room. Go back to James’ cell, under bed and to the boiler room in the back. Take the keys from the boiler room door.
Chapel – Use the keys on chapel door at graveyard. See James’ body. Take glass shard from floor and use it on James to get hair.

Bookcase – Click on the MCXX (1120) above the middle bookcase and Samuel says it is the year prior to building the foundation of the castle.
Clock – Note the clock chimes and is exactly 12 o’clock. Hmm. Click on the red button at the middle of the hands and change the time to 11:20. Press the needle on top. If done correctly, the needle will do a full turn and the clock will chime.
Safe – The middle bookcase opens to reveal a safe.
Look in the safe and read Robert’s diary about his experiments and his plans for James. Read William’s last will that states that Victoria gets all of William’s personal possession while Samuel gets the family’s estate – Black Mirror and the lands. James was to stay in the Castle for as long as he wants. Robert was disowned. Take the ring. Read undelivered William’s letter to Samuel right before he died. Right click on the ring and see that it has runes and Latin words.
In search of Lothar’s key

Foyer – Talk to the nurse about ancestor’s grave and find out that the Warmhill parish administered the graveyard before Ashburry.
Warmhill vicarage – Enter the church. Go to the altar and talk to Father Frederick about the ancestor. He wants you to come back. Go out and look around. I went to the castle, morgue, pub and cemetery twice before I got an answer from Father Frederick. He said that Lothar was cremated and is now kept at the Gordon family vaults.
Rear Cemetery – Go to the rear cemetery. Find that one of the crypts is open. Talk to the gravedigger and ask him to look for Lothar’s urn. He comes back and gives you the urn.
