Gabriel Knight: sins of the fathers hintbook

== Day One

Problem:
St. George's Book Shop

Hint:
Every morning read the paper by the coffee  pot for hints on things to do every
day. On the table you can find a magnifying glass and tweezers. On the top left
shelf  of the  bookshelves on  the back   wall you  can find  a book  by "Heinz
Ritter". On the right  top shelf of the bookshelves there is  a book on Snakes.
Read  both  books.  On  the  book  shelf  under  the  window  you  can  find  a
German/English dictionary. Open  the cash register and get  a gift certificate.
Use the "Question" icon  on Grace, and ask her for messages.  This will put the
Police Station  and Grandma Knight's place  on your map. Later  in the day, you
will need to ask  Grace to do some research on Malia  Gedde. (This triggers the
end of the day.)


Problem:
Grandma Knight's house.

Hint:
Use the "Question"  icon on Grandma Knight, and ask  about "Family" and "Family
Members". This  will put the  cemetery on  the  French Quarters Map.  Go to the
attic and take the  sketch book. Put the "operate" icon on  the clock. You will
see a close-up  of the clock. Move the  hands to 3:00 with the  move icon. Move
the outer circle until the dragon is at  the top of the clock. Use "Operate" on
the windup key. This  will open the bottom drawer of the  clock. Take the photo
and  letter. Open  your inventory  to look  at the  photo and  read the letter.
Reading  the   letter  adds  "Heinz   Ritter"  in  Grandma's   topic  and  adds
"shattenjager" to Global topics. Go ask Grandma about Heinz Ritter.


Problem:
Police Station

Hint:
Ask the desk  sergeant about Mosely. He will give  you an envelope from Mosely.
Go into inventory  and open the envelope to reveal  a murder photo and Mosely's
graduation picture.


Problem:
Mosely's Office

Hint:
Ask  Mosely  about  the  patterns  at  the  crime  scene,  this will put "Other
Patterns" in the topic menu. He will tell you about six other partial patterns.
Ask about them. This will let you know that Officer Franks has the "case file".
Go talk to Officer Franks and have her pull the case file for you.


Problem:
How can I get a copy of the Crime Scene file?

Hint:
Request another  photo of Mosely  with you for  your book. Officer  Franks will
come in to take  the photo. At this point use the  dialogue choice to leave the
room, (Hold on a  sec while I go check my hair.) Once  you leave, take the file
out of  the in box at  officer Franks desk, and  make a photo copy.  (This puts
veve copy in your inventory.) Then go  back in for your picture with Mosely. If
you steal the file, officer Franks will no longer talk with you.


Problem:
Jackson Square

Hint:
Go to the  North West room of Jackson  Square, and walk close to  the mime. You
will notice he follows whoever walks closely to him. Get the mime to follow you
by walking up  to him. It is somewhat  difficult to make him follow  you. Every
time someone walks  close enough he will follow them,  so avoid other people if
you can.  Once you get him  to follow you, go  to the motorcycle cop.  The mime
will make fun  of the cop and the  cop will chase him out  of the picture. When
the cop is gone, use the "operate" icon on his motorcycle radio. This will give
you the "Crime Scene" on your greater New Orleans Map.


Problem:
Lake Pontchartrain

Hint:
Look at  the veve marks  on the  ground.  This will add  "Patterns" to Mosely's

right side corner by the tree. This will  give you a close-up of a snake scale.
Use the tweezers on the snake scale.  This adds "snakes" to the topic menu. Use
the  sketch book  on the  pattern  that  surrounded the  body. This  puts "lake
pattern" in inventory. Take some clay by the waters edge.
