The Blackwell Legacy Walkthrough

[Vince Twelve of xii games, the designer of such beautiful -and quite freeware- adventure games as Anna and Linus, is also an avid adventurer, who adventures, and a provider of walkthroughs (even rain some would argue), who provides us with walkthroughs. Take the brand new indy adventure The Blackwell Legacy for example... Vince promptly beat it and here's the walkthrough to prove it.]

Walkthrough:

Day one:

-watch opening cutscene.
-Talk to doorman, exhaust all dialogue options.
-Go to the park.
-Head left to the fountain.
-Lure the dog down and around the lamp post. When he gets tangled he'll start barking.
-Talk to Nishanti, continue the dialogues until you wind up in your apartment building.
-Enter your apartment.
-Take the elevator out and head to the psychiatric hospital.
-Talk to the guard to gain access to the doctor's office.
-Talk to the doctor, exhaust all dialogue options.
-Return to your apartment.
-Pick up the envelope from the floor and right-click it to examine.
-Read the letters.
-Answer the phone.
-Head to the dorm.
-Talk to Adrian and Kelly.
-Be honest with Kelly and she'll answer your questions.
-After grilling Kelly on everything, ask Adrian about "JoAnn slept all night"
-Open your notes, use "JoAnn slept all night" with "Kelly sleeps elsewhere"
-Re-ask Kelly all the questions in your notebook, making sure to get a picture.
-Back to your apartment.
-Use the computer and write up your article.
-Rosa has an episode, notice the photo on the TV flash.
-Go to the hospital and ask the doctor about the headaches. He's no help. (maybe not necessary)
-You can also visit Nishanti now, exhaust all dialogue options to get to know her, and feed the dog (or swipe a treat).
-When you're done, return to your apartment and watch the cutscene.
-Remember where it started? Back at the park.
-When talking to the dog park ghost, lay on the charm to get all the info out of her.
-Rosa's had about enough of this. She heads to bed and to...


Day two:

-Lots of talking. Exhaust all dialogue options.
-You can talk to Nishanti again. Turns out dogs+Joey=barking.
-Head back down to the dog park and talk to the ghost again. Add "Deacon" to your notebook.
-Back to the dorm. Examine the bulletin board. "Davenport" added to the notebook.
-Talk to Kelly about the picture of the girls, "Alli" and "Susan" added to notebook.
-Use the phone on the desk. While holding the phone, click on Joey to pretend to talk to him on the phone.
-Ask him for a little performance.
-While Kelly picks up the papers, grab JoAnn's notebook off the desk.
-Examine JoAnn's notebook to get the doodle and notes. Examine both. "Alexander" added to notebook.
-Open your notebook Use "Alexander" with "Davenport", get "Alexander Davenport"
-Adrian's no help, so back to the dog park.
-Talk to the Alli's ghost about "Alli" and "Susan" to get last names for both.
-Head back to your apartment and boot up the computer for some research.
-Searches for "Alli" and "Susan" will reveal new info. "Ouija boards" is added to the notebook and Susan's apparently in the Hospital.
-Searching for "Alexander Davenport" tells you that he was on the Hockey team.
-Open the notebook. Use "Ouija boards" with "Deacon" to get "Deacon and Ouija"
-Back in the park, talk to Alli about "Deacon and Ouija." Definitely something up there.
-Head to the hospital. Yup, Susan's here, but you can't get in to see her.
-You can talk to the doctor, but it'll just make Joey all antsy.
-Try to see Susan again, give a lame excuse to the guard.
-Hmm... we need a name that might be on the list. The only names in our notebook connected to Susan are either dead, and therefore not on the list, or boys names.
-In the notebook, use "Alexander Davenport" on "Adrian" to get "Alex Davenport." Try that with the guard.
-Talk to Susan, be honest. Ask her about "Deacon and Ouija."
-Ask her about everything else. Apparently Alli likes dogs.
-It's night now. You can no longer go to the Dorm.
-Visiting Susan again, she'll give you her diuretic pills.
-Use the pills with a dog biscuit (If you don't have one, go back to Nishanti's and ask for one).
-Give the pill to Nishanti's dog.
-Take Moti to the dog park and enjoy the cutscene.
-Head back to the Hospital.
-Lure Joey close to the radio. While the guard tries to fix the static, you can grab the fusebox key.
-Open the fusebox (near the elevator)
-Click the fusebox again to shut off the lights. The guard will come to check it out.
-Quickly hide in the telephone nook in the upper-right corner.
-After the guard has passed you, walk through the door and up around the corner.
-Enter the Deacon.
-Play a little "Good cop, bad cop" with Joey. The way you handle it (very) slightly affects the ending:

Ending one:
-Just let Joey handle it the whole way

Ending two:
-Let Joey handle it for a bit then switch back to Rosa.
-Offer him hope, then tell him no one else will help him, then he'll trust you.

Either way:
-Talk to the Demon about Deacon's sins.
-Talk to Deacon about his flask.
-Open the notebook, combine "Deacon's Sins" and "Deacon's Flask"
-Tell Deacon to drop the flask.
-Pick up the cobblestone.
-Click on the flask.
-Smash the flask with the stone.
-Enjoy the ending.

Bugs:
-After using the phone in Kelly's room, Kelly says something, but the wrong speech file plays.
-It is possible, after turning "Alexander" into "Alexander Davenport" to get another "Alexander" by examining the doodle again.
-Talking to Alli about "Deacon and Ouija" repeatedly makes Joey walk further and further away.

  1. A fine walkthrough and even finer links... what are anna and linus like?

    ReplyDelete
  2. Especially Linus is absolutely innovative and totaly great... Anna on the other hand is the only 3Dish AGS game. Both are excellent and freeware point-and-click adventures...

    ReplyDelete
  3. Except not a lot of pointing or clicking in Anna, since it's completely keyboard controlled!

    ;)

    Thanks for the interest elderly, check out the games!

    ReplyDelete
  4. A perceptive point indeed, but it doesn't really count as you made the game yourself and are thus aware of its hidden features ;P

    ReplyDelete
  5. Sorry. I was unaware that the mandatory keyboard control was a hidden feature.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Next thing you'll tell me is Anna can't be run on a Dreamcast...

    ReplyDelete
  7. ..what you can't run anna on ....

    (butts out of conversation... makes tea........)

    ReplyDelete
  8. What no Dreamcast action? Go on now go! Walk out the door! Just turn around now... Cos you're not welcome any more... Etc.. etc...

  9. (gulps tea, spills some on Dreamcast, microwaves DC)

    hic!..... feck this tea is strong.....

  11. (gnome does as told... gnome remains hopelessly perplexed)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Hmm... Joey doesn't want to "put on a performance" for me, it seems. Is there a specific order or timing one needs to do this in? I'm getting a little tired of visiting the cranky roommate!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Unfirtunately I can't help you, as I haven't played the game... It was Vince xii who did the walkthrough...

    ReplyDelete
  14. I can't examine the bulletin board. Anyway, great walkthrough

    ReplyDelete
  15. Unfortunately I can't help you either, as I haven't played the game... It was -as noted above- Vince xii who did the walkthrough...

  16. I can't get the picture from Kelly...Wat do I do?

    ReplyDelete
  17. same answer... anyone care to help?

    ReplyDelete
  18. After connecting "Alexander" with "Davenport", My access to notes, menu, ect. disappears. What do i do?

    ReplyDelete
  19. For some reason I can't get Joey to help in the dorm! I've tried every possibility that I can...

    ReplyDelete
  20. I'm having the same problem as caleil and neener. I can get to the point of talking to Joey from Kelly's phone, but there is no option to ask about a performance. There is an option to ask for advice, or a distraction, but none of the options elicit any actions, so there are no papers to pick up, and no opportunity to grab the notebook as stated in the walkthrough.

    Without the clues in the notebook I can't get in to see Susan, and can't progress in the game. I'm stuck. :(

    ReplyDelete
  21. to get Joey to do his "performance" you have to go to rosa'a appartment and talk to him, ask him about his ghostly powers then go to the dorm and use the telephone

    ReplyDelete
  22. Hmmmm... perhaps you should try following the walkthrough in strict order? Don't know really...

    ReplyDelete
  23. Asking about "ghostly powers" worked perfectly. Thanks a million! :)

    ReplyDelete
  24. Hi-

    I can't seem to get Kelly to give me a photograph of JoAnn. Am I supposed to link clues together? How do I proceed. Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Miss Emily,

    I did what was explained in the walkthrough, and it worked wonderfully. Here's that section in case you missed it.

    -After grilling Kelly on everything, ask Adrian about "JoAnn slept all night"
    -Open your notes, use "JoAnn slept all night" with "Kelly sleeps elsewhere"
    -Re-ask Kelly all the questions in your notebook, making sure to get a picture.

    Yes, it's the one in Kelly's room. Try right clicking it. Confused me a little too at first. Make sure to click each of the pictures as well. :)

    -Back to the dorm. Examine the bulletin board. "Davenport" added to the notebook.

    Right click the board in Kelly's dorm room. Then click the pictures.

  32. i can't access my note book now and i need to combine the deacon with quiji board, any help??

    ReplyDelete
  33. You need to make Joey perform in your appartment, go back to rosas appartment and ask about joey performance, without this you cannot distract Kelly. Wow what a short game I finished it with no cheats in a day, I had to read the walkthrough to know if I missed something lol

    ReplyDelete
  34. JOEY'S PERFORMANCE: Make sure you go to Rosa's apt. and ask him questions - ask what he can do. Then go back to the Hospital and you should be able to get Joey to perform, however, you do have to be in a certain area near the door but still on the elevator side.

    LOOKING AT THE BULLETIN BOARD: You have to right-click on it.

    PICTURE FROM KELLY: First you have to figure out that Kelly hasn't been there and yet she said that she knew JoAnn slept well. So you confront her on lying then she'll give you the picture.

    NOTEBOOK: While Joey is distracting Kelly right click on the notebook on JoAnn's the desk (near the phone)- that will make you pick it up.

    ReplyDelete
  37. After the talk with the hospital guard when I try to get to see Susan I can't play the game further anymore cause the upper pannel with collected items, notebook and options buttons dissapear. I mean it won't appear when I put my cursor there - there's just that black stripe, which this time is a bit narrower then before.

    Does anyone know of any patch that was made to fix it?

    ReplyDelete
  38. To anyone experiencing the bar at the top (the one with items, notes and options) dissapearing; I experienced this once, and if I remember correctly, I solved it by pressing F5.
    This brings up the Save menu. Click "Cancel" and you will be brought to the Options menu.
    Now click "Exit" and you are back in the game, but the bar at the top will now hopefully be functional.
    I cannot guarantee that it works, but it's worth a shot.

    ReplyDelete
  39. How do I get Kelly to give me a photo? What is the exact sequence of questions/actions to use, because Kelly keeps refusing to give me one.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Sorry Marco, but I really do not remember. It's been ages.

    ReplyDelete
  41. @Gnome. Thanks.

    @Marco. In your notebook, combine the "Kelly sleeps away from the dorm" with "Kelly says dead girl sleeps all night" and then confront Kelly with the combined clue.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thanks for the walkthru. I also got to Kelly's room and couldn't get Joey to do his 'performance'. This really helped!!
