'Dark One' is identifiied by its number '666'. Just select '6' each time.

After you meet the Stringiamano, you need to go left at the split. It will attack you again in the library. After that, it will atack you a third time downstairs. You'll need to trap it instead of destroying it, and then unleash it when you get the chance.

It's possible to enter the painting multiple times by going back to the split and reentering, giving you multiple blessings. I assume this wasn't intended. Secondly, and possibly more seriously, when I search the robes in the secret tunnel behind your bedroom, the text says I find a pearl. No pearl is added to my inventory.

I've only ever encountered the Stringiarmio in the Stringiarmio room, for a start, and your response seemed to indicate it was elsewhere too. I've found the vial of black liquid, and discovered the hard way that it's a poison, but I can't seem to figure out the way I need to go. Unless I've missed something, I need to go right at the first split (after going to the painting room, obviously!), or I'd meet Hazrukiel, but then my options are 'escaping' the house through the Old Man's room, or going into the games room. While I can fail a luck test to get to the door to the Star, I then haven't talked to Grisela, and I die when I enter the room. I think that what you get from the statue is affected by how you got the item, but I can't find anything 'good' except the diamond (which gives an ok healing potion, but I have a feeling there's a plot item in there somewhere). I also haven't found a use for the Pravemi stamp (I'd hoped to use it on the parchment!)

The Stringiamano plays a major role in getting through the story. You'll need to meet it more than once; and then, if given the option, place it in some type of container.

Forget about Hazrukiel- if you meet him / it, you're on the wrong path.

got the Star of Ages, but can't seem to stop D'Onoffrio from fleeing and alerting the brothers.
