IT`S WORTH SAVING HERE (Immediately you re-obtain interactive control) !! - If Ben doesn`t do something, he`ll die (You have 30 seconds just to perform one fairly obvious and uncomplicated action ... so there should be no problem!) - From inventory, `In a fit of desperation, you put the DoorSucker 2000 up to the vent, and are surprised to see that it fits.` ( Automatically `You quickly press the button on the remote labelled `pull`` ) - The villain is defeated through his own device {7} - Cutscenes:- THE END ... until the next (sixth) episode of Ben Jordan entitled `Scourge of the Sea People`. Total points for day~5 = 18 TOTAL POINTS FOR THE WHOLE GAME = 22+23+17+28+18 = 108 out of 108 PATH #2 - Return to the last save - Choose the second option - Ben alone is automatically transported to outside the Yamamoto Inc building {1} - Enter the manhole ... since there is no ladder, Ben falls down with a bump (but apparently without injury!) - Ben is in a sewer - Get him to turn right round and walk - Around the corner is a staircase ... walk up it - Ben arrives through a door into a hallway - Walk forward (i.e. along the corridor, `off the bottom of your screen` and continue) - Enter the brown door of the room at the right of the screen - Take note of the puffer fish there - Exit the room - Look carefully at the picture on the wall to the right of the abovementioned door - Enter the brown door of the room at the left of the screen - Look at the large metal filing cases `lined up against the wall` - Open the filing cabinet and look at a folder labelled `Corporate Takeovers. However, all it has in it is `a paper with the words `Fugu, Sumo, Dinner` written on it` ... Ben jots down those 3 words. From Ben`s notebook in the game`s taskbar you can read those 3 words again {1} IN YOUR NOTEBOOK - Have a good look at the painting on the wall - Exit the room - Walk towards the bottom of the screen and onwards - Look at the keypad alongside the door ... `it probably leads somewhere important`! - Type in the access code. This is probably the most difficult puzzle in the whole game ... see the ACCESS CODE PUZZLE at the end of this walkthrough {4} - The access code is correct! The door opens and Ben enters the `important` room - Cutscene:- Confrontation with the villain who STARTS to eliminate Ben! IT`S WORTH SAVING HERE (Immediately you re-obtain interactive control) !! - If Ben doesn`t do something, he`ll die (You have 30 seconds just to perform one fairly obvious and uncomplicated action ... so there should be no problem!) - From inventory, `In a fit of desperation, you put the DoorSucker 2000 up to the vent, and are surprised to see that it fits.` ( Automatically `You quickly press the button on the remote labelled `pull`` ) - The villain is defeated through his own device {7} - Cutscenes:- THE END ... until the next (sixth) episode of Ben Jordan entitled `Scourge of the Sea People`. Total points for day~5 = 18 TOTAL POINTS FOR THE WHOLE GAME = 22+23+17+28+18 = 108 out of 108 QUIZ ANSWERS (1) Ankylosing Spondylitis (2) Harry Haller (3) A Daughter (4) Ehrich Weiss (5) Cats (6) Venus (7) Tiddlywinks (8) The Human Brain EVADING THE ZOMBIE - From inventory, quickly use the camera`s flash on the zombie ... this blinds it, and it `shuffles back out of the alley.`... there is enough time for you to do this! - However, if you have still have difficulties due to the somewhat rapid actions necessary, the following will make it very much easier:- [A] Immediately before leaving the OPD, go to inventory and `obtain` the camera ... it will now replace your ordinary cursor. [B] When the zombie approaches you and as soon as you have interactive control, make 4 mouse right button clicks ... this will `rotate` the icons so that the camera icon is the active one. This should only take a VERY few seconds giving you plenty of time to move this onto the zombie and click the mouse left button once to evade it! ACCESS CODE PUZZLE Graduated Hints:- - One of the keys to this puzzle is the phrase `Fugu, Sumo, Dinner` - But it is not the words themselves which are important - The words are only indicative of numbers - Their order is also important - First word `Fugu` - Fugu is a food made from puffer fish - How many puffer fish did you see in the room with the brown door? - 3 - Second word `Sumo` - Where did you see a reference to Sumo wrestlers? - In the picture outside and to the right of the room containing the puffer fish - How many Sumo wrestlers were on that picture? - 11 - Third word `Dinner` - Where did you see something very recently in Yamamoto`s concerning dinner? - In the room containing the large metal filing cases - There was a painting on the wall there - How many women were eating in that painting? - 5 - So the three relevant numbers are 3, 11, and 5 - The only remaining question is in what order. - Evidently the order of `Fugu, Sumo, Dinner` - So the access code is ........ 3115
