Me again...
ReplyDeletefor some reason, you can place books in corners...
ReplyDeleteI'm here too :) hi again
ReplyDeleteFor all who are interested: Awakening machines is continuing!
ReplyDeleteThat seems to be a hard game, not much done so far. Just stacked books in corners. Placed a stone/core in the 'washing machine'
ReplyDeleteOne stone is behind "washing" machine, you have to prolong the stick.
ReplyDeleteIn the view with lightbulbs you get hint for buttons bellow
ReplyDeleteopened machine under bublbs with clue under lightbublbs
ReplyDeleteThanks Urban...
ReplyDeleteYes, Marko, done that too...
Tubes also go to the machine, I think they will lose a bit of the substance when all the right things will be in the machine.
ReplyDeleteHi guys ;-)
ReplyDeleteOpened the blue hatch! The stripes under the lifted corners show the order how to click the colored squares under the blue hatch. Make the corners go up, count where the clack stripe is of all corners and then click the colored squares in that order.
ReplyDeleteThen you can operate the 'washing machine'...
ReplyDeleteAnd you get the shapes to put into the grey circle in the wall. Got the upper one, the orange jewel.
ReplyDeleteNow I need green liquid...

ReplyDelete@escapism: great find, but where is 2?
ReplyDeleteSpoiler for blue hatch:
ReplyDeleteSPOILERblue3,9pink4,8green1,5,6brown2,7,10SPOILER
Urban: sorry, realised that I forgot the two and deleted the wrong solution... Above is the correction.
ReplyDeleteJust one question @escapism: how did you lift the corners?
ReplyDeleteI think we need to find the blue substance for one of the stones.
Has anybody found more than 2 stones?
@escapisme, thank for the hint for the blue hatch!
ReplyDeletei think we need to place all corners down and then press "play" button?
ReplyDeletebut how?
You lift up the corners by placing the books
ReplyDelete@marko: put the books on the little cb left of where you got books
ReplyDeleteplace books in the corner close to the cupboard with books...make that goes down by placing enough books on it...another cornor goes up...than put there the books up etc.
ReplyDeletesome kind of stuck now =)
ReplyDeleteWhat would that decoder sign on the floor mean? I declare stuckness too :)
ReplyDeleteWoah. Big breakthrough! Good idea, Marko!! Place 10 books on one of the corners to the right of a lifted corner, then place them on the lifted corner. So all are down. Then press the button beside the bookcase and a new room opens.
ReplyDeleteHi everyone! I followed your clues until here - now I'm stuck with you with one changed stone. Missing more liquids and stones :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea guys!!!
ReplyDeletegreat find! new room to explore!
ReplyDeleteyes but i can't seem to take enough books to do that..
ReplyDelete..,, and i think my fever is not helpig me think
pop
ReplyDeleteIn the new room I'm trying to push buttons like the hint in first room says (first left and then right CB), but it doesn't work.
ReplyDeleteyes!! new room!!
ReplyDeleteand a stone from the bag ( behind a cupboard)
ReplyDeletenotice the black/white colors under the book cupboards in new room, then check the hintstone in first room. now twist the cupboards 90° in your mind, first the left one then the right one.
ReplyDeleteHint: left one you need to turn 90^ clockwise, right one 90^ counterclock
hope I could express well enough...
look it at fro the other angle..
ReplyDeleteshelves..
Got the green liquid! Opened the green hatch in the new room:
ReplyDeleteLook at the two bookcases when the books are out. See the grey/black marks down? These are the same as on the hint beside the door (the one that looks like a grave stone)
Yes!!! I opened it and got green liquid!!
ReplyDeleteI see there is a wt for how to do it ;-)
ReplyDelete@pao, thanks but somehow it doesn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteGot all three stones now...
ReplyDeleteDoor opens, but still not the end... Oh my...
ReplyDeleteand another new room ...lol
ReplyDeletepop, left to right is then the right order, not from top of cb to bottom.
ReplyDeleteYou need to push both buttons the same time. Place books and let them fall like dominos...
ReplyDeleteand now...push red dots at the same time? I tried with books too... but nope :/
ReplyDeleteahaa..pop!
ReplyDeleteHave a red jewel now, but the door locks.
ReplyDeleteLook at the word on the side to open the door again.
use ALL books to push buttons same time
ReplyDeletewooww...such a great game!!!!
ReplyDeleteSAVE before you go out the door!!! There is a dialogue going on and I don't know if it is good or bad!
ReplyDeleteaarghh...work is calling...and I try to get the code with the "LIFE"...but got to go.. :((
ReplyDeleteGood luck to all of you !!
Hm, think I'm out, but not sure... A lot of green characters are raining down, looks like 'The Matrix'...
ReplyDeleteOk, wasn't out, game is going on. The game decodes the panel beside door. Easy code... Door is open. A lot of dialogue again, waiting...
ReplyDeleteFinally out, but I don't know if with good or with bad end. There was a room with a sign of a pit and skulls in it (a warning??), then japanese/chinese characters and a retry option...
ReplyDeletehm, decoding seems to take forever! or did the game freeze? will wait a few more minutes...
ReplyDeletePao, yes, it takes some time, and I think you have to let the window with the game open, otherwise it wont go on (???)
ReplyDeletewas gone for a while...
ReplyDeletecan somebody spoil the bookshelves dot order.. having trouble tilting my head
:)
@marko:
ReplyDeleteDL, UL, DR, UL, UR, DL, DR, DL
@escapism, got the same ending as you. Hopefully someone will come by and translate the text at the end.
ReplyDelete@Marko: well, I hope I can do, didn't write the correct order down, sorry. So without guarantee:
ReplyDeleteDL, UL, DR, UL
UR, DL, DR, DL
TY escapism - seems my browser was having trouble, so I emptied the cache... game is gone. but maybe i replay it later. I really enjoy these games.

ReplyDeleteCan someone PLEASE help me!!! WHErE do i have to place all books?
ReplyDeleteEverybody is out? Am i the only blond here? :(((
ReplyDeleteAnn, where are you?
ReplyDelete@escapism in the new room
ReplyDeleteThe one with the two red butons or the one with the two bookcases?
ReplyDeletethe one with the bookcases...ahhh is there another room?
ReplyDeleteHMM..not getting light bulbs/arrows thing
ReplyDeleteYes, ann, for the room with the two bookcases you need the hint where the dots in the bookcase are to get another liquid, for the solution see urbans post from 4:36.
ReplyDelete@grannypeace when you push the botton with the bulbs, one goes out, and then you see (pretty hard to see) the clue for the arrows
ReplyDeletewhat am i supposed to do with the 'life' hint ??
ReplyDelete@escapism thank you for helping me, but i cant push both bottons at a time, or do i understand something completely miss?
ReplyDeleteThanks ann, had to look close to see that
ReplyDelete@rgannyrecipe: and then push the upper lonely arrow button on the red lid
ReplyDelete@E-Addict: count the 'strokes' in every letter. L is made of 2, I of 1, F of 3... That is the solution for the door riddle
locked with a red diamond !!
ReplyDeleteYEAH got it! I DID understand something completely miss! Thanks escapism
ReplyDelete@ann: so you are in the room with the two bookcases, right? You see the panel in the back with 4 buttons in the corner. The hint how to push those buttons is in the bookcases.
ReplyDeletethanx escapism .. now back to the main room !!

ReplyDelete@E-Addict: the 'box' might be the door where you came in, this is the 4th episode of a series...
ReplyDeletei see .. thanx escapism always appreciate ur help !!
ReplyDeletewow... I can't explain how I got out of this game all by my own O.O must be a special day...
ReplyDeletevery good game
I'm feeling stupid.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to get all pillars down.
I got the relation between the pillars' markings and the colored buttons and figured that part all out by myself.
But AFAICS once you place 10 books on a pillar, another one goes up! So how can you guys get all 4 down?
Ahh, it's 20 books not 15! Use other half as COUNTERWEIGHT...finally. Heh.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteUchhhhhh....
ReplyDeleteI guess I know now why some only gave 3 stars for this game in which Gatamari put so much hard work in.
Gatamari managed to spoil any greatness of the first 90% of the game by the final part. It's a MAJOR CPU HOG.
This animation with the spacy things flying from the sky looks fantastic, but doesn't PERFORM fantastically at all.
I'm now having this animation running for 12 minutes, and it's still going.
So you guys with slower machines BE WARNED, you're advised to leave it running, have your breakfast, lunch or your tea, and then come back again. And chances are you will have to wait yet a few minutes longer until it's finished.
CPU has been on 100% load here for over 10 minutes now.
This is an incredibly infuriating game! There are 20 books. It takes 10 books to make the corner go down. It takes 5 books to hold it down. That means to have 10 books to push it down, you have to take away 5 books from a corner. When that corner goes down, guess what....
ReplyDeleteThe corner that does not have 5 books BECAUSE you had to use them to push down a different corner is UP!!!!
It is a perpetual arranging of books. This is NO game. However, if you want your blood pressure to rise and waste good time, then this is for you.
Help! Can't get the pillars to stay down. Very clear hint, please. I've tried many different ways. Just want to get out now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'm at the door with a decoded sign which says:
ReplyDeleteKNOCK
RFOUR
LELEV
ENRSI
XLTWO
No one else has mentioned this. I though it meant know four times on the right and twice on the left (I can zoom in the on the door knockers), but I can't find a combination that does anything. Help anyone?
@FireFly, if you're trying to get all four pillars down, see escapism's comment at 4:00.
ReplyDeleteT'Lai I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteLet me rewrite:
RFOURLELEVENRSIXLTWO
4 times RIGHT
11 times LEFT
6 times RIGHT
2 times LEFT
Try this (because I can't, as the animation is killing my CPU, as I wrote above)
Thanks @arbeitslooser. That's what I was looking for, but the L before eleven messed me up and I wasn't seeing it. :P That and I wasn't thinking of numbers higher than 9... Oh well. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteGlad I could help someone, considering that I will only be able to check out the "scene" in a future video walkthrough!
ReplyDeleteFor my part, I've given up now, because the bubbles *honestly* fall down like in a video on DVD where you set super-slow-motion. The 10 minutes I had written far above were ridiculous; even after 1 full hour, the animation was not yet finished. And in total, it might sum up to 3 hours, because it can happen the animation runs for 25 minutes, then Flash Player crashes.
Some explanation:
ReplyDelete1. This is the 4th episode of the Gate Escape series. The story is influenced by Type-moon's Fate series.
2. You have physical limit when carrying books: A maximum of 15 at any time. However, you can use ALL the books, just have to carry them separately until you get a certain item.
3. 10 books are needed to lower any pillar in the corners, and keeping it down. Pushing one pillar down will cause another one to come up, in a fixed order. Therefore to make all pillars down, you need to set one pillar as a stopper: Put 10 books on it to prevent it from coming up, then keep pushing the other pillars down using the remaining books.
4. No idea who the three figures are, but they mentioned the philosopher's stone (that red stone near the end of the game). And the skill name Emerald Tablet...probably alchemists.
The whole story in short: You are on the quest to find the "Holy Grail" which grants any wish. To reach the grail you need to go through seven rooms and collect seven "Relics", which in this series correspond to seven major(?) tools used in escape games.
Once you escaped, the next room has no locked exit, but it is dark and there is a warning sign indicating a dangerous pitfall. Guess it's a hint for the next episode's relic. Continues to episode 5, looking forward to it.
Not useful anymore, but some visual spoilers:
1. Solving the puzzle in bookshelves hidden room.
2. Reading the decoded letters.
