BLUE MADONNA WALKTHROUGH

Carol Reed Mystery #7

 Len Green        lengreen@hotmail.com        29th December 2010

 

PREFACE

 

        There should be no need to use this walkthrough since there is a very sophisticated & detailed dynamic hint system built into the game itself! (It is fully described both in the tutorial and the manual.)

         It has been excellently and almost uniquely devised for a non-linear game so that the player can get help at EVERY stage of the game without revealing future gameplay.

******   But if you so desire --- carry on !    ******

         This walkthrough describes ALL the actions which you must take in order to succeed, together with a relatively small number which are not essential to completing the game.

However, please don’t use this walkthrough unless you absolutely have to. Some aspects which are not absolutely imperative have been omitted. A lot of these are interesting and provide much of the background story to the game, and particularly to the fascinating (and artistic) character, scenery and history of Norrköping … a relatively small town in Sweden, and home to the Developer, Mikael Nyqvist.

Warning:-  The main purpose of this game is to examine items, interview people, solve puzzles and to unravel the mystery and apprehend the criminal. In addition to all this, to view the interesting sights and scenery, and generally ‘act the tourist in Sweden!’, etc. .

If you simply take this walkthrough in your hand (or consult all the built in hints) and follow exactly what to do and not to do, you can probably finish the game quite quickly. However that would completely defeat its whole purpose!

     The walkthrough does not do justice to “Blue Madonna”! A very great part of the interest and beauty of the game is wandering around through the vast number of locations, views, residences, etc

         There is a lot of interesting history and material in Norrköping, a small but quite important city whose population is a little under 100,000 and whose original roots date back to the 14th century, or earlier!

 

HINTS & TIPS

 

v      This is a first-person completely point'n-click  game covering many different locations and interesting places. It does not contain many ‘stand-alone’ puzzles, and those included are generally not too difficult.

 

v      You should most certainly NOT have to follow the same order of accessing locations or performing actions as described in this walkthrough since the game is mainly non-linear.

There are a very great number of permutations of routes, and it is almost impossible  that two players will follow exactly the same route and itinerary throughout the whole game from start to finish. Many locations of course will not appear on the map and hence be available until you have completed certain tasks in other locations: And so, due to this, in these cases a particular order is mandatory. Other than that, you are free to visit (&/or revisit) all locations on the map and perform all actions as and when you see fit!

In addition it is quite possible that this walkthrough does not describe the best or even optimum route to play the game (and finish it completely)!

 

v      In Blue Madonna you cannot get killed – or its equivalent! However, as in most adventure games, it is easy to make wrong or redundant moves! So it is advisable to save frequently.

There are 200 save-slots… in case anybody needs that many! So you can save as often as you like.

 

v      Every time you obtain a new item, it will appear in your inventory. You should observe each new inventory item immediately it appears there by right clicking on it to get an excellent greatly enlarged picture of the item together with a very short caption outlining its description (just in case it's not 100% obvious!).

 

v    .It is imperative to view, and sometimes to manipulate, some of the inventory items in close-up to complete some action upon them. In addition, some inventory items will combine with others to form new items there. And so attempts must be made to test this.

 

v    In the text (following), all objects which are acquired and entered into the inventory are written in  bold, underlined, italicized, blue.

All objects which are used from the inventory are written in  bold, underlined, red.

 

v    Whenever a new location appears on the map and until you go there for the first time, the location-label remains continuously 'blinking' on the map!

 

v    In the text, where the instruction says to 'click'', the meaning is to LEFT-click only: Otherwise it will read, ''right-click'.

 

v    If you are not too acquainted with this type of Quest-Adventure game, play through the short tutorial which will familiarize you with the controls and interface.

****    Otherwise… skip it!    ****
