Chiron, did you already enter the pointy tower on the roof?

Another question: With help from the boards I figured out the hint concerning the location for the last artifact. But I still have no clue what to do with this information, although the bit about a certain room is obvious.

I can't figure out where to look for the Dragon's Eye. I've done everything else except leave and I've got Lord Smith. I read the clues already posted but it still doesn't make sense to me. Spoil it for me please, either here or by PM.

Do you have Smith's letter regarding the eye?

If not: [SPOILER]There's colored smoke coming out of four vents in Smith's secret room.[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]You found something high up in the aviary?[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]You should have found all four "special objects" - which are usable like keys............................on the vents.[/SPOILER]

If yes: [SPOILER]Music room[/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]Don't worry about the numbers, yet![/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]First examine the windows closely![/SPOILER]

bye

I saw that in Vadrigar's Prison, so maybe you forgot to unload it first. :)

OK, here's some major solutions:

The secret door in the graveyard:

[SPOILER]Read the story book about the necromancer and it will give you a hint by saying that the seal was hidden at the base of the old lighthouse. The old lighthouse is now the large tower in the northern part of the mansion. Once you have reached the basement level of that tower, have a very good look around where the wall meets the floor. :cheeky: This is meant to be the toughest secret to find so please excuse me for hiding it so fiendishly...[/SPOILER]

Exactly how to get the Dragon's Eye (only possible on Expert btw):

[SPOILER]When you have the Mirror, Globe, Dagger and Compass, go to the secret passage where Lord Smith's journal is. There you will find four switches emitting coloured smoke. Use the artifacts on their corresonding switches (a hint about this can be found stashed in one of the pigeon holes in the aviary) and another secret room will open. Enter and you will be disappointed to learn the Dragon's Eye is not here. Instead there's a helpful hint scroll. [/SPOILER]

Read on if the hint scroll doesn't help...

[SPOILER]You need to read aloud the names of the artists who painted the pictures all around the mansion aloud. They will spell out a sentence. Here it is:

Theck Lewis Forth Ensick Sever Nandet Tafter Wood Scott Uther Musy Kroom

Translates to:

The clue is four then six, seven and eight. Afterwards go to the music room.

So you have the number and location mentioned by the hint scroll. So go to the music room and inspect the windows. There should be 2 switches up near the top of the window frames. Frob both of them to reveal a secret passage in this room. You will be confronted with a number pad. Enter the code (4678) followed by a 5 and a 6 as mentioned by the hint scroll, and you will gain access to the Dragon's Eye!

Is that obscure and evil enough for you? :cheeky:[/SPOILER]

Finding the will:

On Tricky (Hard): the will is on a table in the first shack you come across in the pirate caves.

On Fiendish (Expert): the will is in the refrigerator, along with something else quite surprising! The key to the fridge is on a desk in the pirate shack with a tunnel leading to the pirate ship (it's behind the door on the other difficulties)
