Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

20th Anniversary Edition


Day 5 Walkthrough

Once you gain control of Gabriel, read the newspaper, and then read both the Journal and the letter sent by Wolfgang. Next, talk to Grace and ask her to research Rada Drums for you. Take another look at the guy outside, then exit to the World Map.

First stop is Tulane University. When you enter, click on the door on the left to enter Hartridge's office. Hartridge has met the same fate as Crash, but we can still find some of his research. Use the gears icon on the desk. On this new screen, look at his notepad, then pick up the pencil. Now shade over the notepad (left click + hold) with the pencil to reveal his notes. Take these notes and exit to the World Map.

Return to the French Quarter and head to Madame Moonbeam's Residence. Talk to her and ask about "St. John's Eve", "Snakes", "Grimwald", and from that menu choose "Show me". She will then dance for you. Once she starts, use the Hand icon on Grimwald's cage to take some of his scales. Examine these to see they do not match the Lake Pontchartrain scale. Next, show her the Tomb Markings twice. She will refuse to translate them unless the Loa Machine allows it. This will open a new screen with the Loa Machine. It will look intimidating, but it is much easier than it appears.

When the screen opens, press start and it will spell out the words you need, which is "Trusted Friend", and then reset to a seemingly random combination. The levers at the bottom will change the letters, and they are color-coded. Use this color coding to work backwards to spell out the correct words, or follow these steps below. The levers are numbered from left to right.

Now exit to the World Map and save your game. You will go to the Voodoo Museum next, where one of the first possible Game Overs awaits. The Museum lights will be off when you enter, and as Gabriel turns to leave, he will be attack by the Museum's resident python. Quickly hit that switch next to the door to turn the fan on. If you don't do this in time, Gabriel will be strangled to death by the Snake and you will need to reload. After surviving the attack, return to St. George's. Grace will pull a snake scale off your face and place it in the ashtray on the desk. First use the magnifying glass on it, and then the tweezers to pick it up. Open your inventory, and combine this scale with the Lake Pontchartrain scale. We now have all we need to have Mosely reopen the case, so head down to the Police Station.

Take a look at the creepy girls outside, then head inside to Mosely's office. First inform him of Crash's and Hartridge's deaths. After this, give him the Reconstructed Veve, Hartridge's Notes, the Voodoo Article, and the combined snake scales. He will now leave the station to have the case reopen. Exit the station yourself to end the day.
