Use your vidphone to listen to the message from Lucia Pernell, then call her back. Get the new fax from your fax machine, then go to the computer room. Use Malloy's disc in the laptop computer and enter "MERGE THE FOUR RARE CASES TO SEE MAPS". Read the information.

Electronics Shop

Look at the video phone call tracer on the counter to the right. Talk to Zac, then buy the Robco Call Tracer.

Tex's Office

Use the Robco Call Tracer on your vidphone, then use it to call Elijah Witt (B, A, B, C, C, C, C, C). Save your game, then travel to your new destination on the North America map.

Elijah Witt's Apartment

As soon as you enter, an alarm goes off. Look at the alarm panel next to the door to see that there are 4 colored zones. Head first to the potted plant in the far left corner, and press the green button behind it. Go back towards the entrance door and turn left to see 2 masks on the wall - move the top one, the press the purple button that is revealed. Stand on the platform that takes you upstairs, then go to the dresser on the right. Move the plant here, then press the blue button. Go back downstairs and head towards the fireplace. Pick up a bamboo pole from the right, and use it to press the red button high up on the left.

Go back upstairs and take the notes from the bed, then examine them. Open the bottom drawer of the dresser and take the scrapbook from inside. Examine this to find a photo of Witt's statue, then examine the photo and note the numbers on the back. Look out over the railing and use your bamboo pole to retrieve the plaque on the wall near the entrance door. Take the tweezers from on top of the other dresser, then go back downstairs.

Pick up the calendar book from the floor near the sofa, and the culture book from the floor behind the arm chairs. Move the potted plant to the left of the fireplace and press the small switch behind it to disable the fireplace. Try to take the foil packet from inside the fireplace, then use the tweezers to get it. Examine this to get a copper key from inside. Now look at the stone statue in the corner of the room, and use your copper key on it. You now need to slide the numbers around so they match those on the back of the photo (70, 12, 84, 65, 39, 67 from top to bottom). Go back to the bookcase near the entrance and take Witt's puzzle box from the hidden compartment.

Examine Witt's puzzle box - you need to interpret each symbol across the bottom, and set the two dials to show the same date in the Gregorian calendar and the Mayan calendar, then press the Set Dials button. From left to right, these are:

  • 8 September, 4 Ahau
  • 20 May, 10 Chuen
  • 17 April, 3 Muluc
  • 12 July, 11 Men

Examine the unlocked box to get Malloy's device piece #3 and some onyx pieces.

Garden House

Take the package on the bed and examine it. Combine the untranslated letter with the Yucatec Made Easy book, then read the translated Yucatec letter. Combine your onyx pieces with the Garden House puzzle box, then solve a difficult jigsaw puzzle (don't forget you can rotate the pieces). Examine the unlocked box to get Malloy's device piece #4. In your inventory, combine all 4 pieces and the power cell.

Tex's Office

After a long cutscene, talk to Regan (A).

Day 9

A Black Sun Ascending

Look at the entrance door to see a small circle beneath the snake. Look around the room to find a papyrus roll and 14 Mayan puzzle pieces (one is up high, and another is beneath one of the benches). Use one of the puzzle pieces on the altar, then put together the jigsaw puzzle, creating a map of the temple. Leave via the star door and pick up the charcoal along the right wall. Combine this with your papyrus to make a map of the temple that you can refer to. On this map, you can check your orientation within the rooms by noting the symbols above the doors:

  • White sun: north
  • Star: west
  • Moon: east
  • Black sun: south

For now, continue straight at the intersection and follow this path to the end, where you will find a small stone cup. Turn around and return to the intersection, then turn left. Take the first left branch and pick up the white dagger, then follow this to the end and turn left again. Keep going along this path until you reach Oliver Edsen. Pick up the glasses, gun, lantern and handkerchief. Examine all of these to get some bullets, lantern fuel, a whole lens and a broken lens.

Turn around and go back to the 4-way intersection, then go straight across. Turn right at the end, then right at the branch, and you will discover an ancient Mayan warrior. Take the Mayan shield, then use your broken lens to cut the hemp cord, so you can take the hemp cord and the Mayan spear. Now return to the opening room.

Head out through the white sun door. When you reach a T-intersection, turn right. Explore the paths here to get a silver dagger and a blunt hatchet. Return to the T-intersection and go straight, then turn right at the end and enter a new large room. Look at the entrance door to see a small circle to the left of the hatchet. Look at the crystals on the altar here, then use your blunt hatchet on them. You need to hit crystals with matching tones, so strike them in this order:

3
5
6
7
4
1
8
12
11
13
9
10
2

Go through the star door and immediately save your game. In this room, you need to make your way across the walkways without falling into the lava, and avoiding the fireballs. Crouch down so you can see the paths more easily. Go right from the start and make your way to the first 2 doorways - when you are near them, the fireballs pose no threat. Check these 2, then make your way over to the left to check the other 2 doorways - it is always the last of the 4 doors that will open for you.

Now follow the passage and take the first branch left, then the first branch right and enter the room ahead. There are wasps in here that will kill you if you stay, so turn around and leave immediately. Combine your handkerchief and lantern fuel, then add your spear. Enter the room, then combine the matchbox and spear, and use your flaming spear on the wasp nest (above the black sun door). Pick up the king tiles, then use them on the altar - you can solve this by trial and error, as the tiles snap into place when correctly rotated and positioned. Look at the entrance door to see a small circle beneath the wasp. Leave through the star door.

Turn left at the T-intersection and continue until you find a gold dagger, then return to the wasp room. This time, leave through the moon door. Turn right at the T-intersection, then keep going straight until you find the red dagger. Turn around and take the first left branch to find the dagger room.

Look at the entrance door to see a small circle to the right of the dagger. Also look carefully at the relative positions of the paintings on either side of the door, then use one of your daggers on the altar. Insert your 5 daggers in these positions:

Leave through the black sun door, and follow the passages to the pentagon room. Look at the entrance door to see a small circle to the left of the pentagon. Go over to the 5 symbols on the wall - you must move them so that the circles are correctly positioned relative to the symbols:

  • Move the snake 3 times
  • Move the hatchet 1 time
  • Move the wasp 2 times
  • Move the dagger 3 times
  • Move the pentagon 1 time

Pick up Regan's backpack and examine it to get a rope. Use this on the statue in the middle of the room, then pull the rope. Examine the stone fragments until you notice a crack in one of them. Combine the jack-knife and bullets in your inventory, then examine them to get gunpowder. Combine the gunpowder and small stone cup, and the lantern fuel and hemp cord, then put it all together. Combine this with your matchbox, then quickly use it on the statue. Pick up the 2 statue fragments from the ground. Put these on 2 of the raised pedestals, and you and Regan will automatically step on the others, then get out of the chamber.

Assuming you are headed for one of the good endings, you will end up at the controls of the ship, and must input these commands:

  1. Black sun
  2. Up arrow
  3. Circle
  4. Red
  5. Right arrow
  6. Cross
  7. Orange
  8. Down arrow
  9. Triangle
  10. Yellow
  11. Left arrow
  12. Diamond
  13. Green
