Indigo Prophecy Hints
How do I find the book he wants?
1 of 12: First you need to find out more about it.
2 of 12: There's a table underneath the stairs on the first floor; the camera swung around to look at it when Takeo asked for help. Go look at it.
3 of 12: Put the book on the table (by using the Takeo icon) and use the magnifying glass on it. This shows you the author (de Gruttola). We'll assume the book Takeo wants is by the same man.
4 of 12: While we're at it, you have another book you'd like to examine, right?
5 of 12: Take a look at the book from the diner (by using the Lucas icon).
6 of 12: When you're done, leave the book Takeo gave you on the table with the magnifying glass and return to the search.
7 of 12: We know the author and the year, but there are no markings on the bookshelves other than little squares of color. So what?
8 of 12: Did you notice that while looking at the shelves gets you nothing but a general comment, there are two books you can actually read here?
9 of 12: There are two open books, one on the desk on the dais (on the first floor, behind where Takeo is scrounging on the floor) and the other on a desk by the door where you entered. Check them out.
10 of 12: The one tells you that de Gruttola published in 1796.
11 of 12: The other tells you that books from 1700 to 1800 are on the third floor, and that authors beginning with D are shown by a white square. Cool.
12 of 12: Go up to the second floor, then go around to one side or the other to find the stairs up to the third floor. Look for an area with white squares over the top and take any book from that area. Go back down and give the book to Takeo for a little surprise.
