Adventure at the Chateau d'Or Hints

I need help finding and using the CDs.

  • 1 of 7: The CD player is located in the Library, near the bottom of the spiral staircase.
  • 2 of 7: This is a fairly simple system, operated by "pointing and clicking" with your mouse.
  • 3 of 7: Select a video from the rack by clicking on it.
  • 4 of 7: Insert it into the viewer by dragging it to the insertion slot near the lower right side.
  • 5 of 7: If the video doesn't start immediately, click on the "play" button.
  • 6 of 7: When done with each CD, click the "eject" button (second button from the right).
  • 7 of 7: Take careful notes.  Watching the videos causes "information bits" to be added to your Knowledge Base (in your Inventory).  However, you will need to know what those items are about, when you try to use them to answer the Duke's questions.
