Hello everyone,                                             
              Yep you guessed it, I'm stuck. Can anyone tell
me how to open/unlock the door underneath the statue in the 
maze garden. After falling off the ladder I lost all my     
weapons. I checked the dead body and found some items.I've  
tried everything, when I "USE" the newspaper it just slides 
under the door but then nothing happens?                    
Thanks in advance

  Where did you get the Newspaper?? I'm stuck where you are.
You have to slide the newspaper under the door, then use the
pipe cleaner to knock the key onto the paper and pull it out
-- ta daa. But where is the newspaper?? Please don't tell me
it's on one of those gangsters in the garden, because I just
barely escaped that part with my life! :(

Ramafy,                                                     
  Have you noticed that about this game.  In my opinion,    
this game is a lot more of "on your toes" action, unlike the
first one where you had to think out the puzzles.  I'm sure 
there will be plenty of puzzles later in the game.. like    
what is the point to the guy (under the trap doors in the   
garden maze) who just blocks your path but doesn't attack? >
He can be killed with a single blow from most weapons, so   
I'm just a little confused.  Maybe he comes back into the   
story later.

  I was wondering about that guy, too! The weird guy with a 
mug that just follows you. If you let him run into you he   
chuckles. BTW, how far are you into the game? Do you know   
where the newspaper is??

once you put the paper under the door, use the pipe cleaner 
to push the key out of the lock onto the paper, then you    
drag the paper back, and walaa, you have the key!

   To all:                                                  
       This game has been great so far, but I think         
something is wrong.  Actually, it's two things.  First,     
after I become Grace, I can't get the fold-down bed to fall 
on the guy, I keep re-positioning the bear but it doesn't do
anything.  Number 2) - Grace gets caught coming down the    
dumbwaiter and then the key is next to Carnby - but he can't
reach it!  None of the keys work then - I tried enter but it
doesn't work!  The girl is being roughed up by some pirate  
and the key to the lock is RIGHT next to CARNBY!  I can't   
get it!  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!                    
                 -A very frustrated gamer!!

To get the key next to carnby, just keep pressing the       
"right" arrow key until Carnby reaches the key and takes it.
Then use the key and (thankfully) the game switches back to 
Carnby again and you're no longer the girl...

I wanted to know if I would be able to run Alone2 on my     
computer. I already know the min. requirements. I have a    
486sx 25mhz with 4megs of ram. Does anyone have a similar   
system with this game? I just want to make sure it will run 
smoothly before I go out and spend the money.               
                  Thanks,

The first one ran fine on my 386/33, but it was awesome on  
my 486/66.  No slowdown or problems, except every now and   
then the music would stop, but that was fixed.

Alexander,   You shouldn't have any problems running Alone 2
other than the copy protection.

I have bought this game and when I try to run it, it        
installs and then it says extended memory manager needed.   
I have dos 6 and I thought it comes with it.  Is there any  
way I can configure it or change something to make the game 
work.

Brett,   You need to have emm386.exe in your config.sys     
file.

I have the same problem, although I do have EMM386.EXE in my
config.sys.  However, the windows version runs fine - EXCEPT
after reading that it runs better on a 486, I tried to      
install it in my 486, but alas, it will not install a 2nd   
time.  Yes, I do have the original disks!!                  
              Any suggestions - help?

    Does anyone out there know where I can download an      
unprotect for Alone 2 or give me a hex code to unprotect it?
This has got to be one of the worst protection schemes yet.I
paid for a game not a hassle.I don't usually mind copy      
protection but this is rediculous.

copy protection the first time you play it. :)

   I just found that out.I was mad for no reason.I thought I
was going to be fumbling through those cards every time I   
played.I'm happy now.

   I'm angry with this copy protection again.It is going to 
ask you for it randomly throughout the game.It wouldn't be  
so bad but having to place a card with cut outs on top of   
another card with cut outs and count to the correct hole and
then correctly put what suit of card it is and then the     
color and all this after you dug through your 6 cards each  
with 4 different faces.And to top it off you have to dig>>>>
out your manual and look up which "F" key correctly         
identifies the suit of card and color.What a pain in the    
butt.I guarantee "I*AGGRIVATE" I mean I*MOTION is going to  
hear about this junk.It took me three times to get the right
information inputed to start a game because the guy is      
shooting at you while you play with your copy protection.   
Needless to say I am better at it now.Maybe I*Motion should 
have put a bonus book in the box that would also teach us   
card tricks, addition, learning our colors, what's the      
picture in the box, and how to return to the same page over 
and over.I feel better now.              Brian in TX

stuck here.This is much harder than the first one.We need   
some more people to start playing this game so we can help

I agree that the cards stink! I would much rather look up a 
word in the manual, at least that way I don't have to worry 
about losing these small cards over time. They could have   
included which F keys to hit on the cards.                  
  I'm also stuck in the hedge maze. Gone everywhere I can   
think of and found one pit in the ground and gone inside    
the [Tomb?] to find the dead body but cant get back out.

I finally found the way in to the house!                    
In the underground passage with the dead body,              
slide the newspaper under the door                          
then use the pipe cleaner to push the key out of the keyhole
onto the newspaper and pull it back through.                
Really just use newspaper and use pipecleaner in front of   
door.

  Well I still haven't gotten past the hedge maze. I figured
out that you place the Jack of Diamond card on the altar to 
make that trapdoor open to the rope, tho'. <G>

You can kill the ghost by hitting it several times.         
The dead body is down a secret path in the garden,          
I believe it is the second right from the entrance, then    
you'll find a hidden path on the first left corner, Hack the
vines with the sword and use the rope and hook on the statue

Since AITD1 looked so much like a Hollywood movie (different
camera angles and all), then I guess it should've been      
obvious that AITD2 would seem like most Hollywood *sequels*.
As you might expect, this means that AITD 2 is a "typical"  
sequel, that just isn't up to par with its award-winning    
predecessor...                                              
   From the first time you play the game, you know this game
is nothing like AITD1. First of all, you're no longer       
fighting zombies, werewolves, and demons; for some odd      
reason, you're fighting *pirates*, though most of these guys
look like gangsters from a "Godfather" movie more than      
pirates. Even worse, these "pirates" are armed to the teeth 
with GUNS; some even with machine guns (again, I ask; these 
are *pirates*...?!?!?). The plotline is also much more banal
than its predecessor, probably because H.P. Lovecraft       
inspired the original, and obviously had no part whatsoever 
in the sequel. In the first AITD game, you were trying to   
prevent the world from being enveloped in darkness by a     
being of supreme evil. Compare this plot summary to the one 
for AITD2, where some guys ("pirates", or so they say)      
kidnapped a girl and you have to go find her. Cute, but "not
worth the price of admission", especially for a game.       
    This "save-the-girl" plotline gets even worse halfway   
into the game, when the lead character ("Edward Carnby") is 
caught in the pirates' "jail" and you're suddenly the little
girl, who needs to go find keys to release him.  This       
wouldn't be a bad idea in itself, except that the Frenchmen 
who made this game were apparent fans of the Spielburg movie
"The Goonies", and suddenly this so-called sequel to the    
Lovecraft-inspired AITD1 turns into a COMEDY (?!?!?). First 
of all, she doesn't "run"; she "skips" through the pirate   
ship, almost as if she were going on her way to the         
Peter-Pan ride instead of trying to keep herself from       
getting maimed or killed. Even worse, you click on          
"Open/Search" and not only does she not open or search an   
item/door, but she either does a little dance or makes a    
face, depending on what key you press. Pirates that were    
once making Edward into Swiss cheese with machine guns are  
suddenly kept at bay with sticky molasses or slippery ice.  
There are times when such a plotline would be funny.        
This isn't one of them.                                     
    Worst of all is that the game has kept all of the bad   
points of AITD1, which mostly involved its interface. There 
is still no mouse control, and getting your character to    
shoot/punch fast enough (and in the right direction) is     
tougher than ever. AITD's classic "camera angles" also make 
it tough to figure out where to aim your gun during a fight.
Camera angles also make it tough to notice something on the 
ground (at least twice a dead-body left behind a coin or key
that I didn't "see" until I luckily walked over the correct 
spot). And as far as the interface used to control the      
"little girl", forget it. I've nearly given up at this      
point.                                                      
   In short, people who played Alone in the Dark 1 will most
likely be disappointed in this so-called "sequel". However, 
I still wouldn't give this game a complete "thumbs-down",   
since the award-winning "3D" graphics and animation still   
make it an intriguing game to play. AITD2 is a good game to 
get if, like me (and most people), you're *desperate* to    
finally get a new game "hot off the shelf". If you want to  
spend $50 on something "worth it", though, I'd suggest      
waiting for Ultima 8, or get DOOM if you haven't already....

  Could you please help me with a part of the game? I got it
since I enjoyed AITD1 but am having problems. Is ther eany  
strategy to killing bad guys? I keep dying in the hedge     
maze. I know what I must do (hook & rope, etc.) but get down
to two zombie gangsters left and can't kill them (I run >>> 
out of ammo). Please help! I got past this maze once before 
(miracle!) but next time I played the save game wasn't      
there. :(

  Excellent review.  A bit late for myself but I saw the    
game and picked it up without a second thought.  I'm not    
finished with it yet but I find the arcade shoot 'em up pace
a little bit of a change from the first one.  Not saying    
it's better! <g> Just different.

The best strategy for killing bat guys in AITD2 is to try to
get behind a hedge (like in a "crossroads" type of path) and
shoot at them from there. I also notice that if you get     
close enough to a bad guy they often "shoot right through   
you" and you can just defeat them with "hand to hand"       
combat, though if they're a "fast shooter" this won't work  
at all. Also, don't bother with the two guys guarding the   
entrance; they won't bother you unless you go towards them, 
and there's nothing there to get, anyway, so it's just a    
waste of ammo. Hope these hints help, but if they don't I'll
try to come up with some more...

  Thanks for the info... where do you get the newspaper? I  
think you get it from the fat peg-legged guy guarding the   
statue, but how do you kill him?? I'm always out of ammo by 
then and he is a rapid-shooter. :(                          
  Also, what is the point of the fat zombie carrying a mug  
that follows you in the passage under the card?

Boy am I glad that is YOUR opinion.  I think this game is   
fantastic!  It's good to see them tackle a different genre' 
and not continue with the same thing as last time. I mean,  
just how many times can you travel to the lands in Ultima   
and save the world, and not be sick of it.  I hope when the 
third and fourth come out they continue to change and grow. 
Don't be so hyper-critical....it's alot of fun!

Steven--thanks for the info, this was a well thought out    
review, unlike alot of "reviews" where people provide       
insights like, "this is rotton," or "awesome!" I almost     
bought the game today, but decided to see what the games bb 
said about it...now i may just wait. I truly enjoyed the    
first game, simply because it WAS based on HP Lovecraft, and
therefore looked and felt different than any other game.>>  
Being a Lovecraft fan, i was eager for the sequel to this   
odd, offbeat game.  Now i find it is so changed that i would
most certainly be disappointed! And not only because it is  
NOT Lovecraft-influenced, but from what you describe, it    
sounds ridiculous! A LITTLE GIRL SKIPPING AMOUNG PIRATES??? 
What the hey?!? I'd LOVE to see Yog Sothoth show up and     
blast her to another dimension!                             
So thanks, Steven, for saving me money! and i hope the      
creative people who gave us the 1st game figure out why we  
all liked it so much, and get back on track!

I think that the underground "card" area is only so you can 
get the sword from the "ghost" so you can cut through the   
branches. I may be wrong, though. As for the peg-leg guy,   
right after defeating the two branches step forward slowly  
until he says "morning, sir" or whatever, then take a few   
steps back (this way, he's coming to you and not the other  
way around). Then when he's in range keep shooting at him   
and if you do it right he won't be able to shoot back in    
time. Hope this helps!

Okay, I hate to be a pain, but could someone give me a      
walkthru from the basement on up. I've gone up the steps,   
passed the little chef, and explored the second floor--after
fighting the guy twirling his guns. I beat some guy with a  
derringer, I even placed the crown on the queen and saw the 
amulet. But I think I'm missing something, so please give me
the play by play from the basement on up. Thanks in advance.

I am still having trouble after I kill the 2 goons in the   
cellar (spinning card room) I can make it upstairs, but the 
little chef screams for help, and I can not retrieve the    
crown from the first floor, approx 4-6 goons appear and     
slaughter me, Yet I have already beaten the 2 sworded arms  
upstairs to retrieve the parchment. This game is very hard, 
there is not enough ammo to survive. And correct me if I'm  
wrong but isn't Detectives Carnby's aim terrible ? Please   
help if possible. THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!!!

You'll do a lot better inside the house if you grab the sack
in the card room, open it, and put on the ridiculous Santa  
suit. I'm not kidding!

hello,                                                      
I am having trouble opening the door in the billiard room,  
the room with the cards on the wall, and the door next to   
the fold-down bed thing. If anyone knows how to open these  
please reply.                                               
 Thanks.

Ok, to open the door in the room with the cards, shoot them 
until they are all diamonds (I think any suit will do--they 
just have to be all the same).                              
You probably can't open the door in the pool room yet.      
Later you get a key.  Actually, pretty far later.  What room
are you talking about with the fold-down bed.  I don't      
remember anything like that.  At the moment I am quite PgDn 
far along in this great game.  I am animating a young girls 
body and it's quite humourous.

     Ok, I think I know what your problem is.               
                                                            
First, one thing though.  You are installing from copies of 
the original disks, correct?  Yes, you are.  You can admit  
it.                                                         
                                                            
The install program doesn't look at the files to see PgDn>>>
which disk has been inserted.  It looks at the disks'       
labels.  You must relabel the disks as "Disk1," "Disk2," and
so on and so on...                                          
                                                            
This should correct your problem.

Ok, take the rope and hook over to the statue in the garden 
maze (the one in the photo).  Using the hook will open the  
door below.                                                 
No, wait.  You can't do that yet.  That's after the vines.  
Go over to the four huge cards laying on the ground in the  
garden.  Stand on the right one (I believe the copy         
protection tells you which to choose--that is, if you PgDn> 
have this game legally).  Once down there, push the chest   
and kill the strange shadowy beast.  You will eventually    
find a sword.  Use this pirates weapon to destroy the vines.

most good software stores.

This game looks as good as the first one, but I'd appreciate
a review (gameplay, mechanics, etc.).  It appears that there
is no mouse support, like the first one.  Is this true?     
                                                            
Thanks in advance!                         *PUG*

I'll be creating a "ALONE 2 REVIEW" subject very soon. If   
you can't wait, my summary is this: basically, the game     
interface is exactly the same, which is good in the sense   
that you can "jump right into the game" and start playing   
right away. However, this also means there's still no mouse 
interface. the "hedge maze" outside is cute but I'm still   
wondering when the heck I'll get into the house in the      
first place. Even worse, the enemies are EVERYWHERE and are 
a LOT tougher to kill than the zombies in AITD 2. As if that
wasn't bad enough, all of them are armed with GUNS! More    
later when I post my "review", which I'm hoping to do       
tomorrow after a day's worth of playing the game...

Are you telling me that you can only use a keyboard with    
this game - no mouse!!! Are these people still in the dark  
ages or what!!!

Yep; no mouse yet. Maybe there are no mice in France <VBG>, 
since the game was originally made there. I agree with you  
that they should leave the "dark ages" and start making this
game mouse-compatible...

  HELP! I just got this game. Seems great, but much harder  
than the last. In the hedge maze, I just can't figure out   
what to do. It seems impossible with all those guys shooting
at me...should I start over? I use up almost all of my      
Thompson's ammo in the very beginning where I kill the      
zombies carrying guns.                                      
  P.S. Any hexes?         Ballyhoo

How in the world do you kill those 3 guards in the beginning
of the game.  After you blow up the fence, I use my gun, but
keep running out of bullets.  I really think this is a lot  
harder than Alone 1.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I'd be happy to help you out when I get where you are;      
personally, I'm stuck trying to "open" the door next to my  
now-dead friend. I've sort-of figured out that it might be  
the pipe cleaner that's needed, but whenever I use it on the
door, nothing happens...

The door beyond the spear room is very easily opened if     
you've been to the kitchen and grabbed the poison bottle on 
the ground and the wine bottle on a counter. "Use" the      
poison to drug the wine, then go up to the door across from 
the spear guy. When it says "It's closed/It's locked",      
"Drop" the wine, which is actually "giving" the wine to the 
guard beyond the door. Take a few steps back and wait; the  
two guards will soon walk out the door and pass out, leaving
the door wide open. This also happens to be the "music room"
so this more or less answers two of your questions. You     
other question  (of how to open the secret door that is     
revealed after the billiard game) requires a "key" that you 
get in the attic, which you get to by taking the amulet     
(which I don't think you can get until you use the two      
tokens on the organ and get a One-eyed Jack coin that       
appears on the floor). How to get out of the attic is a     
truly stupid puzzle so if you ever need the answer to that  
puzzle, press [next]...         Hope these hints help!      
Top get out of the attic, used the one-eyed-jack dubloon on 
the jack-in-the-box that's in the junk-filled room, and get 
the pom-pom. Go into the jumping puppet room and just before
entering the snake room, throw the pom-pom into the snake   
room. The puppet will go into the snake room luring the     
snakes away. BIG WARNING, though; the only exit is through  
the chimney, which leads in the room where you got the      
billiard ball (the room with 5 or 6 bad guys), but you      
probably killed them all already to get the red ball so you 
should have no problem...

game, enjoying every challenging moment. I will, of course, 
buy alone2, but untill I do Id like to hear from some of you
who are fortunate enough to allready own it. Does it live up
to its predesessor? Whats the new plot? How is it different?

  It seems much better. It is 9 disks long (compared to     
Alone1's 4 disks) and has better music/sound fx, but is much
more challenging. I haven't gotten far, but I hear you get  
to play other characters like a little girl.

Read a review of AITD2 under the subject "alone 2 review" a 
guy there just blasts the game, does not like it and gives  
very well thought ot reasons why...he had several responses 
that agreed. If you like the 1st game because of its        
Lovecraftian influence, it sounds like you will be          
disappointed. also, it seems #2 isn't sure if it wants to be
mayhem maddness or just plain silly, as apparently you 1st> 
play a guy who gets gunned down every few seconds, then you 
play a little girl who skips around and the nasty pirates   
who were so cruel to the guy, get confounded by things like 
sticky molasses! that doesn't sound like the same kind of   
game to me!

Shelly,  That review doesn't some up what everyone thinks   
about this game.I happen to think it is a really good game.I
liked the first one also and I'm glad they changed it up a  
little on the second one.The graphics and camera angles are 
still fantastic.The enemies are armed with guns but so are  
you.There are still a lot of puzzles to figure out so give  
it a try.I think you will be missing out on a really good >>
game because of a couple of peoples opinions.Buy the game at
a store that allows returns and decide for yourself.The only
complaint that I have with Alone 2 is the rediculous copy   
protection.This takes the cake.Please, someone break the    
protection on this thing before I put my fist through my    
monitor!

I agree that ALONE 2 is BETTER  than ALONE 1(Sorry Lovecraft
Lovers!).  The gameplay is what counts and there is MORE of 
it in ALONE 2.  ALONE 2 is harder than ALONE 1, so maybe    
that is your real problem with the game. By the way, I do   
like good stories, but I will NOT base my decision to buy   
something on a storyline.

Hey, I just got this game and it is really cool. However I  
can't seem to kill all these !@$% guards! I am always       
running out of ammo. Is there some extra lying around? How  
do you kill that ghost in the "card" trap door? It is really
hard for me to explore with all the monsters all over the   
place. They should have been given guns later in the game.  
Can someone please give me some clues on this and how to    
get into the house? Also some kind of stragedy to kill all

Well, all I did to kill the ghost was shoot at it. As for   
always running out of ammo, if you have a modem, look for a 
cheat for it. I currently have one. I can u/l through *P if 
you want. talk2ya later...

  Could you PLEASE upload it to me over *P? Or telling me   
the number of the BBS you got the cheat off of would be     
helpful.

I've been looking for a cheat for AITD2 for a while now.    
Could you possibly upload it to me if it's not too big?

Try lining all the guards up and fight just the front one,  
the others will start shooting at themselves.  As for the   
ghost under the trap door, just fight it.

In the room where the statue shoots a pitchfork at you      
(the same statue that you got the crown from) when you step 
on dark square:                                             
There is a door directly across from the statue (next to one
of the kitchen doors) that I cannot open.                   
There is another door in that same room (near the stairs)   
that I also cannot open.  Help please!  -Len

I have a question about ALone 2.  Could someone take the    
time to write all the new weapons here.And also, Is it the  
same moan and groan death? Or did they change it every now  
and then?

I can't run the Demo. What's up??  What are the hardware and
RAM requirements for Alone 2?  I downloaded the demo from a 
BBS and I either get an error messege that says,"not enough 
dos memory" or "out of memory, buffer anim".  I only have a 
386sx 25 with 6megs RAM, 512 video card.  Is that enough    
hardware to get the demo to come up?  I appreciate any help.
Thanx.  Stephen in L.A.

Charles,  The best I could figure was to push the cement    
anchor to the side and go through the garden maze.Be ready  
because there are a lot of enemies in there.

 Sorry but I got stuck on door in the cave under the        
statue.I did the hedge part.I think part II is harder then I
because you have to shoot strait and fast.

  Please help! I can't get past the hedge maze! I know where
all the items and things are, but those d@mn zombie gangster
people keep killing me! I run out of almost all my ammo in  
the very first fight, in front of the mansion... Are there  
any strategies or anything?

You get the newspaper when you kill the guard of the "statue
in the photo". Just pick it up before you throw the rope &  
hook on the statue arm!

  I believe you have to place the mirror(s?) on the         
pedestals nearby...

I'm roughly where you are in the game. The only thing I did 
that you didn't mention is push the cannon so it's now      
aiming towards the doorway (though I have no idea why "I"   
did that!). The only other thing I did was try to shoot my  
gun inside the now-unlocked powder room, next to the jail   
room; big mistake, though nice animation of the ship        
exploding. One thing I though of while "online"; maybe the  
hole in the floor of the "cannon room" means something...?  
It leads to the furnace room. Maybe you're supposed to do   
something with this hole and the furnace...? Let me know if 
you figure anything out before I do...

What am I supposed to do in the room with the spinning      
cards? How do I save the little chef? Where are all the     
extra bullets?! This game needs more bullets! Please help!

The spinning card room was tough to figure out, though I    
think what I did is make all cards look like the card that  
opened an underground passage in the hedge area (the red    
diamond). The little chef problem took me a while to figure 
out, until I realized he was crying "help" because of me,   
knowing I was an "intruder". Soon after completing the "card
room" you'll beat up a guy with a santa claus suit in a     
sack, which will solve the problem of the little chef crying
"help". Sorry that I can't help you in the bullet dept.,    
though some of the guys who shoot more slowly can be        
defeated with "hand-to-hand" combat, and sometimes if you're
at the right angle you can fight them "hand-to-hand" and    
their shots will keep missing you. Hope this helps out!...

I don't know what to do with the pack of goons that are in  
the room with the billiard ball.  The little chef screams   
for help and they all come for me.  I don't have nearly     
enough ammo to kill them.  I tried to go in one door, get   
their attention, and go to the other door, but they still   
kill me.  Could someone please give me a SUBTLE hint, or    
suggestion.  Please, no blatant walkthroughs.  Thanks!

I seem to be stuck in the house as the little girl.I've     
gotten as far as stopping two of the guards one with ice    
one with molasses but can't get into the cellar or the      
other bedroom upstairs.Any suggestions?

     Before you can go into the other bedroom upstairs, you 
must get the key to the shackles.  To do this, use the      
captain's staff on the captains desk in his room (through   
the billiard room).                                         
     Now the other bedroom should be open.  All you have to 
do is--wait, I won't tell you just yet.  Try and figure it  
out yourself first.  Also, watch out.  There is a third PgDn
guard downstairs in the kitchen.                            
                                                            
                                                            
BTW-you are almost where I am!!  Once you get there we must 
brainstorm for ideas.  Well, unless you happen to figure it 
our right away.  That would be nice, wouldn't it.

 I seem to be stuck right at the point where you become     
the little girl. I know you have to push the boards to open 
the door, the problem being that when I try to push         
something nothing happens. The man bent down as if he was   
trying to push something - the girl just stands there.

     The ice and mollasus(sp?) are in the cabinet in the    
kitchen.  Use the key that you found in the dumb-waiter.    
From the view that you see just as you get out of the       
dumb-waiter, the cabinet is almost directly away from the   
screen (the computer screen that is).  It is to the left of 
the door leading to the dining room.

How do you convert the Captain's Staff into the Loa(sp?)    
staff? I'm in the bedroom, have the key to the shackles. And
when can I use the bell again to free Carnby? Everytime I   
try to use it, it says I have other things to do before     
that. Any help appreciated.

Ok, once again you are almost where I am stuck.  To convert 
the Cap's staff to the Loa Staff, you must use it in the    
room where the amulet was found.  You know, the room with   
the square on the ground.                                   
Come, on.  Get just a bit farther so you can help me!!

I'm having an awful hard time getting the little girl to do 
anything useful..And her "skipping" is getting on my nerves!
I may be wrong, but a little girl surrounded by pirates is  
more likely to run like heck, yet all she does in "run mode"
is skip around! Even worse, I click on "Open/Search" and not
only does she not open or search anything, but she makes    
faces or kicks depending on which key I press. HELP!

Okay, I guess I've figured out how to control the game      
during the "little girl" part, but I'm still finding it hard
to open doors or use anything. Now I've got the staff and   
I'm trying to get out of that area. I've heard of a         
"dumbwaiter" but where is it and how do I use it...?

After I get the Loa staff, there is a gaurd in the kitchen. 
I can't figure out how to get past him. Next, I try to use  
the token I found in the pool table on the music box and it 
says there is an evil force field blocking the box. Where do
I go from here? Maybe by the time someone replies I'll have 
figured it out. -Lawrence(What is the Teddy Bear for???) How

Pardon me for bothering you privately, but I too have been

You'll have to put the poisoned wine down next to the door  
in front of the statue. As for the other doors, they open   
later on during a sequence, but you still can't open them   
after that...at least I haven't yet.

   I take it your past the guards that u used the mollases  
and ice that u found in the cabinet on. If u used the ice   
downstairs on the 1st guard you encountered then have the   
guy in the kitchen follow you. Have him follow you out of   
the kitchen to where u used the ice and get him to slip on  
it just like the other guard....      - Seth

From:   TTHG93A    STEVEN AKYUZ          Time:     8:06 PM

Since AITD1 looked so much like a Hollywood movie (different
camera angles and all), then I guess it should've been      
obvious that AITD2 would seem like most Hollywood *sequels*.
As you might expect, this means that AITD 2 is a "typical"  
sequel, that just isn't up to par with its award-winning    
predecessor...                                              
   From the first time you play the game, you know this game
is nothing like AITD1. First of all, you're no longer       
fighting zombies, werewolves, and demons; for some odd      
reason, you're fighting *pirates*, though most of these guys
look like gangsters from a "Godfather" movie more than      
pirates. Even worse, these "pirates" are armed to the teeth 
with GUNS; some even with machine guns (again, I ask; these 
are *pirates*...?!?!?). The plotline is also much more banal
than its predecessor, probably because H.P. Lovecraft       
inspired the original, and obviously had no part whatsoever 
in the sequel. In the first AITD game, you were trying to   
prevent the world from being enveloped in darkness by a     
being of supreme evil. Compare this plot summary to the one 
for AITD2, where some guys ("pirates", or so they say)      
kidnapped a girl and you have to go find her. Cute, but "not
worth the price of admission", especially for a game.       
    This "save-the-girl" plotline gets even worse halfway   
into the game, when the lead character ("Edward Carnby") is 
caught in the pirates' "jail" and you're suddenly the little
girl, who needs to go find keys to release him.  This       
wouldn't be a bad idea in itself, except that the Frenchmen 
who made this game were apparent fans of the Spielburg movie
"The Goonies", and suddenly this so-called sequel to the    
Lovecraft-inspired AITD1 turns into a COMEDY (?!?!?). First 
of all, she doesn't "run"; she "skips" through the pirate   
ship, almost as if she were going on her way to the         
Peter-Pan ride instead of trying to keep herself from       
getting maimed or killed. Even worse, you click on          
"Open/Search" and not only does she not open or search an   
item/door, but she either does a little dance or makes a    
face, depending on what key you press. Pirates that were    
once making Edward into Swiss cheese with machine guns are  
suddenly kept at bay with sticky molasses or slippery ice.  
There are times when such a plotline would be funny.        
This isn't one of them.                                     
    Worst of all is that the game has kept all of the bad   
points of AITD1, which mostly involved its interface. There 
is still no mouse control, and getting your character to    
shoot/punch fast enough (and in the right direction) is     
tougher than ever. AITD's classic "camera angles" also make 
it tough to figure out where to aim your gun during a fight.
Camera angles also make it tough to notice something on the 
ground (at least twice a dead-body left behind a coin or key
that I didn't "see" until I luckily walked over the correct 
spot). And as far as the interface used to control the      
"little girl", forget it. I've nearly given up at this      
point.                                                      
   In short, people who played Alone in the Dark 1 will most
likely be disappointed in this so-called "sequel". However, 
I still wouldn't give this game a complete "thumbs-down",   
since the award-winning "3D" graphics and animation still   
make it an intriguing game to play. AITD2 is a good game to 
get if, like me (and most people), you're *desperate* to    
finally get a new game "hot off the shelf". If you want to  
spend $50 on something "worth it", though, I'd suggest      
waiting for Ultima 8, or get DOOM if you haven't already....

Then by all means, get it. I'm not saying people shouldn't  
get it; I'm just a warning people interested in Alone-2 that
1) it hasn't got a single thing similar to Alone-1 besides  
its interface, 2) Be ready for frustration when you've got  
almost 100 bad guys to kill and what seems like only 12     
shots to kill them with, and 3) be ready for further        
frustration when a pirate is chasing the little girl and all
she does is "skip along" like she's strolling in the park or
something. Just some friendly advice that I wish I got      
before I bought it...

Well, Nathan, that is Yog Sothoth, and if you liked Alone in
the Dark, then i would seriously suggest you go to a        
bookstore and find a book by HP Lovecraft...you will not    
only find out a little about ol' Yog, but you will see where
the game got it's inspiration...and you will be reading,    
too! which is gnerally a good thing! Play games, watch TV,  
go to the movies, and read occasionally, the world will >>  
open up to you!  Most bookstores, like B Dalton, have a     
horror section, and books of Lovecraft's shorts stories are 
still published today...the stories are somewhat old        
fashioned and wordy, but at his best HP can evoke such an   
eerie sense of the other worldly that he is considered by   
many to be one of the fathers of modern horror tales. Get a 
book that has in it the story, "The Call of Cthulhu," a true
classic; also "Rats In the Wall"  "Cool Air" and my         
favorite, "The Shadow Out of Time," which gave me the chills
even at the ripe old age of 28, when i first read it!       
Good luck to you! Shelley (PS-i really didn't tell you about
Yog, tho...he is hard to pin down, but he is sorta a        
spherical, bubble-like God who lives in between the spaces  
of time and space, and is variously referred to as "the     
Gate" or "the Key" by his wild eyed, murderous              
worshipers...people best avoided!)

 How do I get out of the maze.  I've found the 4 cards,     
uncovered one and went down, but it didn't seem like there  
was anything important down there.  Was I missing something?
Is there anyway I can get by the tree branches blocking the 
path?

You need to get the flask by the other ladder for openers.  
Next, push the chest along the wall and you will find a     
magnetic card.  Next, you must kill the invisible ghouly    
that comes after you.  You can just shoot it a few times.   
Place the magnetic card on the alter and the locked door    
will open.  Don't forget to get the sword from the dead     
demon.  Don't ask me why that guy follows you around with   
the mug in his hand??  Anyways, use the sword to chop the   
branches hands.  Beware, as soon as you proceed past the    
dead branches, the thing you see yonder is a guy!  Be       
prepared to shoot him.  Get the newspaper!

Okay, I hate to be a pain, but could someone give me a      
walkthru from the basement on up. I've gone up the steps,   
passed the little chef, and explored the second floor--after
fighting the guy twirling his guns. I beat some guy with a  
derringer, I even placed the crown on the queen and saw the 
amulet. But I think I'm missing something, so please give me
the play by play from the basement on up. Thanks in advance.

Where did you find the crown?  Where is the amulet?  I am   
about where you are.  P.S.  did you see the guys in the     
basement practicing their shooting?  I finally killed them  
and they are shooting at 4 posts with card faces on them.  I
think you have to line them up according to the cards on the
wall to get in that door like thing.  I could'nt get it to  
work.  Any hints?

Line the cards up to be all diamonds, that will open the    
door.  You have to use the battledore BETWEEN two cards to  
get diamonds on all faces.  It is a tough trick, but if you 
time it just right, one swinging card block will slow down  
the other and both will end up just right.

        Hi, does anybody have any codes for this game that  
you can use with the program debug?                         
                                                            
                         if you do send them to

Hi Adam!                                                    
I used to know how, but I have forgotten.  All I have       
written down is this:                                       
                     4EAA FF7F                              
                     4E90 FF7F                              
                     4F38 FF7F                              
                     4E98 FF7F                              
I copied the whole thing down off of this board months ago. 
You use the DEBUG command, but I can't remember all the     
syntax because I tried it and it didn't work.  I am sure    
someone out there knows the complete sequence.              
                                                            
                                                            
I hope this helps, and if you find out the correct sequence 
let me know.

   I have another glitch when you open the front doors and  
there is the big thing behind them that pokes you, if you   
shot it or throw somthing at it, it will say the end and the
doors will close but you will still be standing there.

Funny how you mention these glitches.  One time the Pirate  
followed me out of the unfinished room and the door was     
closed and he couldn't get back in.  I was unable to        
duplicate that feat.                                        
                                                            
It must not be my year.(See ALONE DEBUG.)  By the way, has  
anyone recieved an upgrade notice and price for AITD 2? Eric

How in the world do you kill those 3 guards in the beginning
of the game.  After you blow up the fence, I use my gun, but
keep running out of bullets.  I really think this is a lot  
harder than Alone 1.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

hook, and battledore????? please help thanks

For some reason I can't pick up the amulet after I placed   
the crown on the queen's head.  The game says, "I can't     
reach it".  Is this a puzzle, or a bug?  Also, after I give 
the poisoned wine to the guards, I can't do anything in that
room.  There is a door, but the game doesn't recognize it.  
Puzzle or bug?  Thanks.

I was was secluded from the world the moment I begane alone 
1, and I spent every spare moment wandering throughout the  
game, enjoying every challenging moment. I will, of course, 
buy alone2, but untill I do Id like to hear from some of you
who are fortunate enough to allready own it. Does it live up
to its predesessor? Whats the new plot? How is it different?
Hope to hear from you. Jaimie

I think the main thing the reviewer spoke of that has caused
my to reconsider buying this sequel, is that Alone2 seems to
have forsaken it's Lovecraft influence. I loved the 1st game
not only because of the graphics and camera angles, but     
because of its use of Lovecraft-esque horror. Now it seems  
the bad guys are mostly pirates with guns! Thanks, but i    
will probably save my money! Shelley

How did you push the cannon??? I cut one of the wires on the
cannon with the pliers but it wont let me cut the other one.
Also it wont even let me use the push function while in the 
cannon room. How do i get the cannon to be pushed??? Thanx

One of the things I did to push the cannon is get rid of the
guy sleeping there before I tried to cut the wires (just    
kick him and he'll wake up). I don't know if that helps, but
at least he doesn't bother you afterwards. The "push"       
function only works if you're on the side of the cannon     
facing the sleeping guy, near the middle of the cannon. I   
think it didn't allow me to do it until I pushed "space"    
without choosing a direction.                               
   Anyway, after pushing the cannon. take the powder keg and
put it in the room across the hall, right in front of the   
cannon. Then put the short fuse in the cannon and use the   
poker on the cannon. Nice animation so I'm guessing this is 
what you're supposed to do. Tell me if you need any more    
help pushing the cannon, though, and I'll try to see what I 
did to push it...

   Ok Steve... I pushed the cannon and put on the wick. I   
also put the keg down in front of the cannon. Whenever i try
to use the poker on the cannon it tells me "You have other  
things to do first"! What else is there for me to do??? I   
thought i did everything!.....Thanx

I can't think of what you didn't do, unless you put the keg 
too close to the cannon. I noticed a circle-type of spot on 
the flor in the "bedroom" place, in the line of fire of the 
cannon, that was where I put the keg in the game. Maybe you 
have to drop it at that exact spot...? The only other thing 
I can think of is that you might not have visited all of the
rooms yet, or maybe you haven't looked at the note inside   
the wine bottle (the bottle that you get in one of the lower
rooms by pushing a barrel away). If you throw the bottle    
there's a parchment inside. That's all I can think of, but  
let me know if this doesn't work...

I don't know what to do with the pack of goons that are in  
the room with the billiard ball.  The little chef screams   
for help and they all come for me.  I don't have nearly     
enough ammo to kill them.  I tried to go in one door, get   
their attention, and go to the other door, but they still   
kill me.  Could someone please give me a SUBTLE hint, or    
suggestion.  Please, no blatant walkthroughs.  Thanks!

Ok, I've freed Carnby, have a keg of powder, fuse, pliers,  
all of this other stuff, and now am stumped. Have cut the   
chains to the cannon with the pliers, don't know what to do 
next. I've been in every room underneath the ship except for
two of them. The others I found keys for, or they were open.
I have this book describing how this freebooter used the    
short fuse on the keg of powder, but I can't get that to -->
work either. How do I go about blowing up the ship?(if      
that's what has to be done) Please answer A.S.A.P, I want to
finish and move on to another game...thanx.....

"Push" the cannon near the middle of the cannon, on the side
that is facing (or faced) the sleeping pirate. Carnby will  
"automaticly" push the cannon so it's aiming outside the    
doorway, across the hall to the area with the two sleeping  
pirates. Sneak into that room and drop the powder keg in    
there, in the line of fire of the cannon. Now go back to the
cannon and insert the fuse and light it with the poker.>>>>>
Search the wreckage in the "bedroom" area and find a bag of 
coins and use them in the hallway to get the two chefs to   
come out of the kitchen. This should get you started on your
way to the ending (not too much longer from this point)...

P.S. - Does anyone have the same "glitch" I have with this  
game; when I try to go to certain areas of the "bedroom",   
the game hangs up saying it can't find file something-or-   
other-.PAK . Wierd!

Hey Steve,                                                  
   Looks like you are pretty far along, probably finished   
with this great game.  My question is, how do you defeat the
big white guy at the "end?", after the girl uses the chicken
foot?  I tried everything I have but nothing seems to affect
him. I thought maybe you could lure him into hole in cannon 
room and he would fall into oven below, but no dice. Subtle>
hint please.                                                
                                                            
        Thanks a mil,

I was able to complete the game by just running away from   
him; one of the ladders to the upper deck should be         
"unbarred" now. I'm sure there must be a way to defeat the  
Captain's ghost, but apparently it isn't important to figure
it out to finish the game...

 I went through the amulet and up into the attic. Wasted    
everyone up there except for this crazy bozo who follows me 
around and does this cute little jumping twirl whenever he  
gets near me. What a freak! I want to blow his head off!! I 
get bit to death whenever I go into the snake room.  I need 
subtle hints please!   thanks anyone.

Okay, some subtle hints: Check out the Jack-in-the-box in   
the junk room; think of something that "Jack" would like... 
                                                            
Then read up on "The Good Girl's Rules" in the game box...

 Thanks for the reply. Already got the pom-pom and the game 
doesn't let me use it.  Guess I'll keep trying it.
