Finding Jacks route of travel

When traveling by ship as Aliena, select the dialog options as you prefer. After the girl goes ashore, she will receive a note about the sinking of the White Korab in the "Objects" tab.

Talk to the bricklayer on the bridge to find out what's going on, and you'll find out that it's worth looking for Jack at the Lessay Abbey. Go right and talk to the man sitting on sand - he can be found in the bottom of the screen. He directs Aliena to Amee - the carrier. Go to the woman's horse-drawn cart (even more to the right), where you'll get another suggestion about Jack's possible place of residence: Barfleur. Raise all the issues and finally express your willingness to leave the port.

On the map, indicate the places of your journey - to visit all of them, select the following order: Barfleur, Harfleur, Lessay, Mont-Saint-Michel, Le Mans, Saint-Denis, Tours (although it is worth mentioning that the trip to the nearby Paris Saint-Denis will be completely unnecessary).

Asking for Jack

After arriving at the construction site in Tours, talk to a master builder (located in the background of the location, to the right of the figure of the Virgin Mary). Come up with the topic and continue your questions until the man finally admits that he hired Jack. As a result, Aliena will gain three more trails: La Rochelle, Angouleme and Limoges. No matter which one you choose, the girl will feel so bad on her way to the south that even if you continue the walk, she will eventually be forced to return to Tours. During her raving due to health problems, point Greece or Arabia on the map (again it doesn't matter), and finally choose Kingsbridge anyway. To improve the condition of your baby, warm it up or feed it - each option is equally good.

When Aliena is back at the construction site of the Cathedral in Tours, click the statue of the Virgin Mary (on the left) so that the girl can pray. Then look at the bracket on the right, and finally talk to a bricklayer working nearby.

Presentation of Three Devices

When Raschid asks Jack to present the devices, go to the table and take a small tank from the structure in the center. Immerse it in a blue bowl on the right and install it, filled with water, in the construction bracket. Now take a burning candle next to it and place it under a small tank. In the "Objects" tab you will find a note about the brothers of Banu Musa. Explain the mechanism.

Take the small tank again and fill it again with water from the bowl. Now pour it into the tank on the back of the mechanical donkey standing at the entrance of the room. Explain the mechanism again (you can also joke and then Raschid will do the explanation). It's your choice if you agree with Aysha's proposition.

Finally, take the sculpture of the woman standing on the left side of the table and place it on a round table next to you. Just use any answer to the question of how this mechanism works. During the further conversation, select the dialogue options at will.

Finding Jack

When your child starts crying, leave the German pilgrims sitting by the campfire (as Aliena). Walk to the river bank (left).

Talk twice with the crying woman standing in the water to find out that she has lost the commemorative ring. Look around for it - check the bushes several times which are located to the left of the woman. Also check the place opposite to her, right by the shore, where something shines. When you have found the ring, give it back to the blind woman. Talk to her at the bonfire to hear her story. A note about Camino de Santiago (St. James's Route) will be added to your "Objects" tab.

On the map choose the stages of the St. Jacob's trail (Los Arcos, Burgos, Leon, Astorga, Ponferrada). When Alba feels unwell, decide whether you will stay with her or leave (Aliena will stay anyway). Finally, get to Santiago de Compostela.

Talk with the woman who sweeps cobblestones in front of the tavern. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to find a common language while speaking two different languages. Show the landlady your son (use him from your inventory) and ask if she has ever seen his father. Exhaust all the topics, and when you have the opportunity to define Jack's profession, select the option "Point something" and show the woman the cathedral which is located far away (in the background of this location). After that, talk to her one more time, select the same dialogue options, and show her the cups standing on the well. Finally, use the same system to show the woman your book. You will find out that your beloved went to Toledo (to be sure of it choose the appropriate dialogue option). Open the map and point the route to Toledo city.

On the premises of the estate of a wealthy merchant named Raschid, go right and look inside the building through the passage on the right. Confirm that you want to enter.

Approach the left side of the table and take Jack's slingshot (you will get the achievement Jack was here!). Go outside. Talk to Aysha standing by the fountain. On your way to Paris, decide how to greet your beloved if you finally find him.

In the Basilica of Saint-Denis, turn right and take a look at the light of colourful stained glass windows falling on the column.

Calming the Crowd

In the port of Cherbourg, you play as a Jack. Notice the agitated crowd which blocks the road. The mob will not allow you to get to the ship. Talk to the priest standing to the left of the cart (by which you have just arrived here) to find out about the situation. Then take out the sculpture of the woman from the wooden chest with the blue front, which is your luggage, placed next to the cart. Place the sculpture in a shady place on the sand at the platform (at the bottom of the screen), and when the weather gets colder, show it to the crowd (use it on the crowd). Choose the dialogue options as you like.
