Meeting Yanek | Chapter 2: Istanbul Dracula 4 Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
If you begin this level with good health, you will receive the "Perfect patient" achievement. Begin by answering the phone.
Use the knife to open the box on the table. Inside there's a nice treat - some medicine and a camera. Read the letter and head to the door.
Click on the door and head inside. You can take a look around the room. When you take a closer look at the "Lilith" painting, a man named Yanek will appear. Start by excusing him for disturbance. Use the dialogue options, asking also about Friedlen and avoid labouring the point (it will give you the achievement "Diplomat"). You need to ask about Yanek twice. Head outside and note a trash bin opposite to the apartment entrance. Move it and head inside through the therefore unveiled door.
Look through the window to make sure that Yanek went out and take a look around the room. Take the strip of metal from the barrel. On the table you can find pliers, a lock picking hook and a knotted rope. Use the pliers on the strip of metal. Head out and go to Yanek's door. You need to break in. In order to do that, push the lock picking hook so that four hooks are out and push the tension tool to the maximum position. Afterwards lower the tension tool so that it cuts the nail in the upper right corner (screen above).
Now push in the lock pick so that only one hook is visible and lower the tension tool (see the screenshot for reference). The next step is pulling out the lock pick so that five hooks are visible and lowering the tension tool. If you're doing everything as you're supposed to, nothing should happen. Making a mistake will cause the tension tool to return to the upmost position, forcing you to start all over again.
Push the lock pick so that two hooks are visible and lower the tension tool down once. The last step involves pulling out the lock pick until there are three hooks visible and lowering the tension tool. It can be seen in the above screenshot. This will also give you the "Real adventurer" achievement.
After going it, turn on the light with the switch to the left of the door and take a look at the workshop in the alcove. You will find a puppet draft. Approach the wall showing the scene at the edge and turn the last key. When the doll falls down, take it and return to the alcove. Use the brush to paint the cuff blue and the rest orange. Don't touch the palm hand itself. You can gain orange by mixing red and yellow.
Now take the scalpel and cut out the arm from the template. Click on the scalpel and follow the line, including the hand, while keeping the button pressed down. You need to be very patient - a too fast move will interrupt the whole procedure. It's the most time-consuming and irritating activity in the whole game.
In the inventory, connect the arm with the puppet and place it on the ship. Now zoom in on the scene. The aim of the puzzle is enabling the puppet with the key to reach the proper key hole. Above it there's a balloon and before it a puppet with a knife. Turn the keys in the following sequence: 5-6-2-4-1-3. In return you will receive the "Puppeteer" achievement.
Head into the hidden room and take the rod. Watch the painting and take a photo of it. After returning to the main room, approach the red painting. Turn around and take the sponge and paint solvent form the table. Connect them in the inventory and keep using the sponge with solvent on the painting until Ellen identifies it. In the end, take a photo of it as proof.
Remove the screen blocking the stairs and head upstairs. On the bedside table there's another puzzle. You need to arrange the circles so that three red dots are at the top, green at the bottom and blue on the right. The red petal from the middle has to adjoin the red one on the outer circle. Note the relation - the last circle also moves the second one and the central the third one, but only one moves counter clockwise. Focus mainly on arranging the red ones - the rest will adjust automatically. In return you will receive a hook which you have to connect with the rod.
Using the new item, you can reach the hatch leading to the attic. There you should immediately take note of the small package on the right side. Take a closer look and take it just like the screwdriver and rope. Click on the wall on the right side - take a photo of the corpse. Afterwards try going down. When you hear a noise, click on the rope.
Click on the window. Use the screwdriver on the screws to move closer to freedom. Connect the ropes in your inventory and use it on the opened window. Afterwards head out using that path.
In the hotel, use the phone to inform the police. Afterwards call the museum. Now you have to take a closer look at the package taken from Yanek. You will have to press the appropriate buttons so that all small rectangles on the upper and lower plate shine. The proper arrangement can be seen in the above screenshot. After solving the puzzle, get ready go a shock.
