HTML A Spell for All [v14.16c] [Cmacleod42]

[Peter Thompson]

Hi there,
first of all I really like this game even tho I find it kind of challenging.

I like to try solving games and riddles by myself but I have to admit I dont want to spend to much time finding a path when I feel stuck. So using a walkthrough from time to time is my personal way to cheat a little.

This brings me to my question:
Are there any good walkthroughs besides those on the wiki-page?
And is the content lenght of all 3 paths (murder, cons, appr) roughly the same or is one of the paths much longer then the others?

Snip

Little bit of using search function would tell you to look at the Help folder and using the walkthrough there, its almost up to date, but all that is missing you can figure out yourself.

 

[Peter Thompson]

Thank you for your fast reply. I will check what you recommended.

The amount of content is the same for the paths, except on the Murder path you can charm a person you cannot on the Apprentice path, but then there are a couple of events with said character you cannot see on the Murder path

I just finished playing the soft/false murder path as a male character. Currently I am trying to do the conspiracy path as a female. I'm stuck because I cannot manage to find the possess spell. Ms. Titus is not offering me a scroll and I've went all over town looking for it.

The walkthrough only says that for male characters, Ms. Titus will give you the scroll. It says nothing about females.

Mr Beasley will teach you the spell

Mr Beasley will teach you the spell

After learning Charm, Mr. Beasley doesn't show up again until after I get thrown in jail trying to steal the dragon vase. ATM, I need to learn possession in order to get Gina's heirloom necklace. If I show up in front of Mr. Beasley without it, he will charm me and I get a game over.

Do I have to wait until the weekend so I can learn the chant from Alison?

EDIT: I found out that Mr. Beasley shows up again after I find the hotel cellar (or maybe when I meet Jessica) so I just need to make sure I see him before trying to steal the dragon vase. I was trying to be efficient by getting the hotel plans and closing the museum (after being jailed) in one trip.

Yes, or go to the Church if it is available and get Pamela's bracelet

Please see the Apprentice walkthrough included in version 14.8.1, it has a walkthrough for the Mom and Gabby events at the end

Basically, check Gabbys office and then talk to someone who will be there, Sarah Gates or Mayor Thomas. They will take you to it

I've tried both now Sarah and the Mayor more than once, they both said they would help me get ready and everything, but then I kill time till before 6pm and neither one of them have a "get ready" or "leave" option...seems to be a bug maybe? I've tried going without them too but of course the townhall just closes.

It is not clear what is going wrong for you here, I am not aware of any issues for these events in version 14.10 or later.

Please post your save game for me to check, save to file and attach to a post if you can or use the export option and post the text in a spoiler in a post here.

 

[cmacleod42]

No, lol, don't think that woks! How the heck do you save a save to file?

In the game, open the save game page, and select 'Save To File' it is not made obscure there

I was in the LOAD save, lmao! What can I say, I'm a dummy! In this save I had already went to the mayor and had the Conference talk, but I did notice that it was also still available at Sarah, when the time before when I used Sarah, I noticed the talk was NOT available at the Mayor...not sure what that means, but anyway here's the save and thank you! Sorry to make you work.

No worries
BUT
there is a problem, I cannot load that file into the current version of the game, 14.10.1. From a little that is logged it does appear to be from that version but there is something wrong, it could be incomplete or it is not saved at the right place, or at least not from a loaded save as such

To make this did you
a) load one of your saves at the appropriate point, and possibly go somewhere etc
b) then open the save page and select 'Save To File'
c) then post the file saved to your browser default download folder

I do not really see why you would not of done this process but just checking. It is smaller than most save files, definitely one for late in the game, these are commonly 3kb, twice the size of the file you attached. There is a little variation in size based on things like photos saved but generally not a huge difference.

Could you repeat and update your post with the updated file?

Again I messed it up, I didn't first load a save (now I notice the game looks all different), and I can no longer load the save with that name, it now says turn 0, and is at the top?...but maybe the one before that will help?

Thanks, that works, I will check and get back to you

EDIT:
everything worked just fine for me. Please do note when you ask Mayor Thomas the conference is TOMORROW at 6pm, so after talking to her you can only leave for now. The notes in your phone do say this as well.
Go and talk to Mr Beasley about the necklace, then do other things until the following day and then visit the Mayor again well before 6pm. Choose the option to wait with her and then the conference will happen and as you talked to Mr Beasley you can charm Gabby etc

Apprentice path here, i'm trying to find a way to charm lauren and have access to sarah gates room, but lauren never appears in any location of the gates mansion and sarah is always in the room with ronald gates, but i can't interact in any way with her

 

[hameleona]

At one point you can see some funny stuff with Lauren and Sarah, but you can't charm ether, iirc, unless something changed radically in the last updates on the apprentice path. The point when you trigger their content on that path is after the Seance

I am well after the seance, i already took care of Davy, but i haven't seen lauren or her with sarah once during my playtime, she basically disappeared

After you meet Sarah on the way to visit Sir Ronald, the next time you visit the Mansion Lauren will meet you in the entry hall and tell you about Sarah being tired etc. Follow and peek but do not enter the bathroom

After this you can visit Sarah in her room, and sometimes Lauren will meet you on the way up and at those times you can try to charm her. You have to repeat this 3 times

You can also study with Sir Ronald until after night falls, try to leave and be blocked. Ask Sir Ronald and you will be offered a room and again encounter Lauren

BUT
I am not 100% sure you can charm Lauren currently on the apprentice path, it has been but it is difficult and you must use every opportunity. I will be checking this for the next release but I am planning on altering their content and expanding then
