Walkthrough:
------------
When the game starts you are standing in front of George 
Drussard’s house -- 2800 Broadway in the Pacific Heights 
area. Once you have retrieved the necklace (see below) a 
video clip will play near the stairway. If you enter the 
room on the left you will find a document sitting on the 
counter. Pick it up and read through it – this is the first 
Drussard letter. After picking up the letter turn to the 
right. In the next room you will find two closets. Inside 
one of the closets is a Jack-in-the-box. This is the first 
puzzle (Joey’s Toy). Solving the puzzle will give you some 
of Alex’s missing diary pages.

After you leave Drussard’s house head toward Chinatown. On 
a wall in an alley you will find an old chart posted on a 
wall. This cart is a clue to the Chart Puzzle on the Balcutha. 
After looking at leave Chinatown and head for Fisherman’s Warf. 

Once you’ve reached Fisherman’s Warf find the Balcutha, it’s 
moored near Hyde Street Pier. Search the ship until you find 
the Chart Puzzle in one of the cabins. Solving this puzzle 
will give you the Avalon Necklace, which allows you to view 
video clips of the past. Make sure you look through the ship’s 
telescope after you solve the puzzle. Go back to 2800 Broadway 
and watch the video clip near the stairs. 

After viewing the video clip head toward Lombard Street. As 
you climb the street you will find three odd bricks in the 
pavement. Note down the symbols on the bricks – you’ll need 
them later. Now head toward Chrissy Field. 

Search around Chrissy Field and the grove nearby. You should 
pick up two things here -- a broken bottle containing more 
missing pages from Alex’s diary, and the Celestial Key. Also 
watch for a tree with hash marks carved into the trunk in the 
grove. After collecting everything find the video clip of Alex 
and Nate inside the grove. After watching the video hear toward 
Fort Point.

At Fort Point go through the tunnel and find the trash pile. 
Search it to find a pamphlet. Go to the top of the fort and 
look through the telescope. Leave Fort Point and go to Fort 
Gunnybags (the old mint). Solve the Magic Square Puzzle and 
go inside. Go up to the bell and solve the Bell Puzzle. After 
ringing the bell continue up until you find the vigilante letters. 

Now go to Mission Dolores. Solve the Mission Tiles Puzzle, 
then search the tombs until you find a skull. Behind the skull 
is the Bestial Key. Get the key, then go to Golden Gate Park. 
Find the Esperance statue in the park and look at the designs 
in the corners.
 
Go to the Mechanical Museum at the Cliffhouse. Find the slot 
machine and solve the Egyptian Slots Puzzle. After retrieving 
the handle of the machine look around the museum until you 
Sutro Baths plaque. Head back to Fisherman’s Wharf and board 
the ferry to Angel Island. 

After landing on Angel Island head to the Lighthouse. Solve 
the Lighthouse Puzzle, then go through the door and get the 
Ruby. Search the Island until you find the Bowsprint you saw 
through the Fort Point telescope. Solve the Angel Flute Puzzle. 
Get the Emerald and Sapphire. 

Search the island until you find the clearing. This one can be 
tough -- you are looking for a shiny pink glow. When you find 
it pick up the Cryptogram and another Drussard letter. Now 
head toward the East Garrison and the Hospital. 

Enter the Hospital and go upstairs. After you watch the video 
clip of Dr. Holden find the x-ray viewer. Look at the x-ray in 
the viewer, then look at Dr. Holden’s desk and pick up his 
journal. Leave the Hospital and go to Wallace Battery. Find 
the stove and get the Vestigial Key from inside it. 

No go to the West Garrison and enter the Red House. Find and 
solve the 3-Lock Box Puzzle. Inside the box is the Caledon 
Treasure Map. 

After retrieving the map go back to the Bowsprint and go up 
to the painted symbol of an Egyptian Eye. Take the rod you got 
from the Slot Machine and place it in the center of the eye. 
A cave will open in front of you. Go inside and find a letter 
from King William of Caledon and the treasure.
