Mysteries of the cemetery | Chapter 1: Vambery Manor Dracula 4 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

Go down and use the phone to call the museum and then Adam. Afterwards you can leave and check if the statue is really beside the window. Unfortunately its location will be obscured by branches. Head right, behind the corner of the manor, to find garden tools, including shears and a ladder. Place the ladder below the statue and use the shears to get rid of the branches. Click on the statue and it will turn around, unveiling a key. Take it.

Return behind the corner of the manor and press on the gate visible on the hill. Put some oil on the lock and you will be able to turn the key. Right after heading in, bend down and pick up the metal bar. Head to the mausoleum on the left. Use the shears on the door and afterwards the key found in the statue. Inside, look at the sign and on the circles beneath it. Another puzzle awaits you.

The smaller buttons are used to change the triangle of the lower circle adjoining the upper one. Click on the middle of each circle to make it turn. The idea here is to create three identical circles - as shown in the above screenshot. Focus on choosing the proper colours of each circle and the whole task will go smoothly. Successfully arranging the circles will open the passage and rewards you with the "Amateur Detective" achievement.

Using the metal bar, open the grave on the left and take out the rope ladder and pick axe from the bag inside. Use the ladder on the entrance. Below, pick up the bone and take a look at the stone plate. On the left, by the wall, you will find a terra cotta pot. Note that there are three entrance here. On the lintel of each of them there's a symbol which you have to remember.

Collect three stone snakes from the ground. One of them is lying between some rubble to the left of the board, the second in the puddle on the right and the third at the base of the ladder. Take a look at the board and place the snakes in the empty places. You will now have to recreate the symbols from above the doors to make them open. Begin with the middle one. The board should be arranged as shown in the above screenshot. Take a look at the opened passage.

The screenshot above shows how to arrange the symbols to open the door on the left. Before heading inside, you should also check what's on the right.

Arrange the circle a shown in the above screenshot and enter the small room. Ellen is afraid of the snake protecting access to the bottle, but you can use the plate to neutralise it. Take the bottle and use the knife to take a part of cloth from the corpse.

Return to the main cave and open the door on the left. Use the flashlight to enter inside, but you will learn that it's not enough. Connect the piece of cloth with the bone, use the oil and light it with the lighter. Enter the darkness and once you come across the gate, put the torch on the handle on the right. Note that to the right of the torch there's a strangely regular shape. Click on it to unveil a sign which will help you with the next puzzle.

Click on the symbol in the middle of the door and place the St Benedict's medal on it. You need to set the letter on the door just like on the medal. The arrows in the middle are used to turn the whole circle, while the buttons change a given fragment with the neighbouring one. Note that the middle ones where the arms of the cross are don't move. It's best to start off by placing IHS at the top and then move V, R and other letters towards it. From time to time you will have to move the whole of it, change a given letter and then put IHS back on the top. It's not a difficult task, however slightly time-consuming. Eventually it will turn out that there are more letters on the shield than on the medal. A hint can be found on the unveiled sign. Place the letters in the following order (clockwise): IHS V R S N S M V S M Q L I V B.

Enter the mysterious room. Take the strap off the cloth and afterwards take it off as well. Soon afterwards you will watch a short cutscene. Beside the door you will see a hanging rope, while on the shelf, in a box with a cross, some vitamins. Take a look at the brick wall on the right and afterwards on the floor. By the box your task is easy - you need to arrange three colours: red, yellow and blue, just like on the flag of Romania visible in the corner.

Fix up Ellen's fragile health and afterwards take out silver bullets, a broken wax cylinder, a short piece of string and a leather box from the box. Also take a look at the book. In the inventory, use glue on the broken cylinder. Equip the pick axe and try crushing the brick wall. Combine the knife with the silver bullets and pour the received powder into the leather box. Just add the piece of string as a fuse and you will have a dynamite. Use the lighter on the fuse - you will unlock the "Kamikaze" achievement. Place the dynamite in the hole made with the pick axe and light the fuse.

Pick up the grapnel from beside the coffin and combine it with the rope. Put it into the hole and click on the rope. Use the tape on Vlad Tepes's bust, click on the hanging end and then on the bust. Head out through the created hole. Upstairs, talk with Adam about everything you can.

Go down to the ground floor and head to the phonograph. Place the repaired cylinder in the spot visible in the above screenshot and press on the tube. You can turn on the device by pressing on the crank. After listening to the recording, approach the phone and call the museum. Return to Adam and use the two new dialogue options.

Head to Adam's bedroom and use the piece of paper from Friedlen's acts on the device on the desk. Notice! You have to click on it a couple times before you're able to read the full address. Its last part is Istanbul. Speak to Adam about your discovery and head downstairs to call the museum. Afterwards visit Adam once again. Before doing that however, check Ellen's health.
