Gabriel Knight 3 Secrets

V 2.1: Deleted several more lines that are in the game after all, and I identified the painting that didn't make it into Room 25.

Like with any computer game, Gabriel Knight 3 has a lengthy creation history. With nearly three years in production, a massive amount of team workers on and off the job, and eventual rushing to get it all done, there is no surprise that eventually things are cut, although they are on the disk.

That is a known issue with games. The SCI viewer for instance has shown us the many hidden files of the many SCI-based games by Sierra. There's a number of cool sites on this hidden content. A personal favourite is by Akril.

Gabriel Knight 3 uses a different engine, Sheep, that was only used for this game. Fortunately the game itself comes with its own extracting tool. In the game, type Ctrl + Alt + `. This causes the console to pop up. The easter eggs can be activated using this tool, but you can also type Extract (space), then two brackets with quotation marks show ip. You type the full name and extension of the file you want between those, and hit Enter. The newly extracted file should now be in your GK3 folder.

If you type Extract (space) (enter), you will get a file called !!!README!!! in the GK3 folder, which explains some interesting tidbits about this feature, and a file called GK3log which contains the full name of every single file in the game's .BRN compressed folders.

Extracting each and every file like that is a pain in the neck. Fortunately a fan created a handy tool called BarnBrowser, which allows you to view the BRN to your liking.

There is so much unused content for this game!

In the on-line document GK3script I compiled every single YAK file (except for the double ones), and ordened them. In this process I found much deleted content, and the occasional secret.

Unused Easter Eggs

The Official_Eggs.doc file gives a vague hint as to where an easter egg may be found. Most were included, but not:

Gabe was initially intended to do something if you just clicked on him, like Grace and her backflip.
The cat from the moustache puzzle was initially supposed to return, and have an Easter Egg. It's described as a parade. No artwork or YAK remains, but the music that was written for it can still be found on the disk.
Clicking the flowers in the first timeblock would start the circus easter egg. The music is still there. The YAK files are there, but they don't point to a sound bite. The content of the matching .YAK files:
Announce:
Speaker, 149, GABRIEL,Starring:
Emilio:
Speaker, 149, GABRIEL,Emilio "The Hat Man" Baza
Gabriel:
Speaker, 149, GABRIEL,Gabriel "The Knight" Three
Grace:
Speaker, 149, GABRIEL,The Amazing Flexie Grace!
Jean:
Speaker, 149, GABRIEL,Jean "Spank Me" DesClerk

Disappeared Objects

Sometimes, an object that was programmed doesn't appear in the game. One known instance is the book store: originally, Gabe was able to find one of his own books in there, but it disappears in later releases of the game.

Older headstone in Sauniere grave:

A0CLNI44.QR1
GABE There's an older stone set in that cement.
A0CLNI44.QS1
GRACE It's an old headstone.
Suitcase in Madeline's room
A0J89D44.PF1
Madeline's suitcase.
A0J89D20.PF1
She's already unpacked.
Hairbrush in Madeline's room
A2NLVS0L.PF1
Was it Prince Charles that said he wanted to come back as some woman's hairbrush? No, that was . . . uh, nevermind.
A2NLVS44.PF1
Hmmm. A hundred strokes a night, no doubt.
Sari in Emilio's room

A0K81144.PF1
Looks like one of those Indian sari outfits.
A0K81132.PF1
Can you see me in a sari? I think not.
A0K81132.PF2
I need to have at least four or five different dead things on my body at once, or I just don't feel dressed.
Letter at Howard/Stiles room

Think at letter:
A0M8E60L.PF1
He mentions three documents, but there're only two here. They must have one with 'em.
Take letter
A0M8E632.PF1
I can't see why Grace or I would need the letter. It's not *that* interestin'.
Look letter
A0M8E644.PF1
It's from a Dr. Wen -- he must be their mentor or somethin'.
Peignoirs in Lady Howard's room
A0M84C0Z.PF1
But . . . I would have to *touch* 'em.
A0M84C44.PF1
Really *big* peignoirs. Geez, *Wilkes* could fit into those.
A log at Devil's Armchair
A0NKSE44.411
It's just a log. I doubt it was involved in the crime. Looks like it would fall apart if you touched it.
When Grace spots the log
A0NQSE44.411
It's just a log.
A0NQSE44.QS1
Dead wood. Now what does that remind me of? Oh yes, Gabriel's comments about *me* to Mosely. That's right.
Of course there is a hole at Estelle's site, but it can't be clicked.
Think hole
A0V7CT44.QS1
GRACE It's too bad the only thing Estelle will find in that hole is humility.
A0V7CT44.QS2
GRACE She already has that in spades.
Look hole
A0V7CT44.7D1
GRACE That's deeper than the hole I dug, but just as empty.
A0VQCT44.Q81
GABE,Estelle is diggin' herself a hole. In more ways than one.
The columns at Blanchfort only get the regular ruins line in the game.
A0ZLQA44.QR1
GABE,Kinda Grecian for this area, aren't they?
A0ZLQA44.QS1
GRACE,Those columns -- they look out of place. They must have added them later. Wonder why?
Dirty bedsheets in Roxanne's cart
A1DNO40Z.411
Roxanne obviously has some 'hidden treasure', but it's not buried in the laundry bin!
A1DNO444.411
Everyone's dirty bedsheets. Now *there's* a lovely picture.
Magazines in the lobby
A1ELWB44.Z51
GRACE,Magazines. Nothing that looks interesting, though.
A1ELWB44.Q81
GABE,They're outdated. And in French.
Dining room. Apparently it was an object once.
A1EL8344.6P1
GABE,Dinin' room.
A1EL8344.7E1
GABE,Looks like the dinin' room's in through there.
Wilkes' outfit
A04L3332.411
I don't think so. Wearin' Mosely's coat was bad enough.
A0483344.411
Wilkes' clothes. He must shop at 'Big and Bulky'.
Wilkes' floor. This line is referred to later on.
A04N3344.411
Roxanne is right, I don't see any sign of p.j.'s. Not that I can imagine what kind of p.j.'s a man like Wilkes would wear.
Something while burgling...
A2H8MP44.PF1
GABE,Apparently they don't have the Gideons in France.
A2H8MQ44.PF1
GABE,Doesn't anybody unpack around here?
A2H8NM44.PF1
GABE,Not even a hotel pen in there.
As I said in the previous paragraph, the cat was intended to return.
A1YLX244.KR1
GABE That cat *really* hates me. Ah, well. Sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.
A1YLX27O.Z51
GRACE That cat doesn't look real excited about strangers. Must have run into Gabriel a few times.
A1YLX244.Z51
GRACE Looks like a stray to me.
Emilio's newspaper in the lobby
A1741244.5Z1
'The London Times'. He's obviously not a native.
Something with B.S. in the church
A18L5Q44.BB1
GABE,'B.S.' Wonder what that stands for. No, don't say it.
A18L5Q44.O21
GRACE,'B.S.' Bérenger Saunière?
Something at the Orange Rock
A27LO044.QR1
GABE,Those things look sharp!
A27LO044.QS1
GRACE,Looks like somebody *very* large had a tantrum.
Packet of cigarettes on top of Tour Magdala
A1FLDM44.2D1
Never heard of that brand. Must be French.
A1FLDM44.A21
Gee, that brand name looks familiar. I guess the good Abbé spends a lot of time up here.
A1FLDM44.A22
Either that or he smokes *really* fast.
There is an alternative ID which identifies Gabriel as wine critic. This might just be its line.
A10KTF0L.PF1
You realize, of course, that I wouldn't know a bordeaux from a bordello.
The spinning disk at the pendulum is an object, but Gabe jumps on as soon as you click it.
A1REYA44.Q81 (look disk)
It's not movin' too fast, but I guess that's rather moot with a pendulum in the scenario.

Missing Actions

Continuing our journey calmly with objects that are in the game, but you can't perform certain actions with them, even though they do have lines.

Dig at Saunière's grave
A0CLNF1O.2E1
GRACE Those cement slabs were no doubt poured to prevent that very thing.
A0CLNH1O.1J1
GABE Uh . . . give me a bulldozer, and I might have a shot at it.
Thinking at Madeline's clothes
A0J8WP44.PF1
Too bad. I was hopin' for somethin' kinky.
Thinking at stuff in Emilio's room yielded some Gabe response that never made it.
A0K8WQ44.301
Somethin' tells me I'm not gonna find the lost treasure of the Templars in there.
A0K8WS44.3L1
Nope. Not a bauble in sight.
A0K86F44.511
I wouldn't have thought Emilio was the born-again type.
A0K86V44.PF1
There's just one more outfit in here. I wish I could pack that light.
Pick up Emilio's journal in Aramaic
A0K88E32.HV1
Not even SIDNEY could translate that.
Think at Howard/Stiles bed
A0M87Y44.IO1
One bed. Isn't *that* cozy?
Looking at absence of footprints at Devil's Armchair
A0NK2E44.411
I don't see any prints -- 'cept Mose's big ol' feet.
A0NK3X0L.331
They've been drained all right -- right into the ground over there. Almost seems to be somethin' symbolic about the gesture.
Look a little closer at Larry's alarm clock
A0QK3I4A.T91
I think that's the 'snooze' button.
A0QK3I4A.TA1
I don't need to *set* the time.
Extra lines one could find at returning to Larry's dig
A0U3Q41K.3J1
I doubt Larry will be back tonight.
A0U37G1B.411
He hasn't seen me yet. Maybe I should keep it that way.
A0U36L18.3J1
Uh-oh! I'd better get outta sight!
A0U37G44.411
Larry, Larry quite contrary . . . Planting bulbs are we?
A0U34944.C81
What's this? Gophers, perhaps?
A0ULQ144.Q81
It's from the hole, remember?
A0UL4944.CM1
That's where Larry stashed his manuscript. Not particularly *effective*, was it?
A0ULQ444.3L1
Nice tree.
A0UQ491O.411
I already dug up what was here.
Grace reading the hotel register
A1EL9144.QS1
It's a list of the people staying at the hotel. Not including *me*, of course.
Tour Magdala had some different lines for Grace at 2:7-10
A036ME44.PF1
Someone put a pile of money into this place -- with all these built in shelves and seats.
A036MD44.PF1
Someone was a bibliophile. Of course, Gabriel could fill up this much shelf space with his paperback mysteries alone.
This occurs in the dining room. It looks most like a table with dirty plates and sheets.
A17LJ144.QR1
GABE,God, Gracie'd *kill* me if I did that at home. Or Gerde. Or both.
A17LJ144.QS1
GRACE,I wouldn't be a bit surprised if *Gabriel* did that.
Look at Arnaud tape
A10LD944.9R1
It's a tape of the good Abbé's conversation. Unfortunately, it's in French.
About the mysterious object found by Dr Wen:
A10LF60L.R11
The Egyptian artifacts Dr. Wen found must have been a stash from the Adepts of the Holy Blood. This looks like something the bloodline weavers might have used in their blood-sampling rites.
About the spritzer. Or perhaps the spray gun.
A10LTH44.PF1
You don't suppose the Abbé will miss that, do ya?
Look bed on day 2. Or sofa.
A1L8GV44.411
I get the weirdest damn dreams when I'm on a case!
Extra toothbrush lines
A2JQVJ44.Q81
GABE,Those toothbrushes look frighteningly domestic lyin' there together.
A2JWVJ44.QS1
GRACE,I *could* dunk his toothbrush in the toilet, but that would be immature. Well-deserved, but immature.
"Looks like an accident waiting to happen... kinda like my life."
A1WLK344.XG1
See now, that accident hasn't happened yet, but my life . . . that's *really* fucked up.
Look Ma's e-mail
I can't *believe* my mother! This is the second time she's had some guy I don't even know writting to me!
A02O247L.PF2
One day she's going to send a serial killer my way -- *then* she'll be happy!
A02O2458.PF3
Ugh! Mother!
Look Chadrel's e-mail
A02O5744.PF1
God, I wish I could talk to him face to face.
No audio file for this line, when Gabe starts tracing angels...
You know, I never thought about it before, but the hand positions on those angels are kind of interestin'. Let me see if I can work it out.
Look Stations of the Cross
A18LKX44.QR1
GABE,They're Catholic Stations of the Cross.
A18LKX44.QS1
GRACE,They're plaques showing the crucifixion story. I'll never understand this morbid fascinations Christian's have with it.
Something with the winepress
A19B653J.411
I'm not sure I want to get that close.
Think talisman
A109HE44.3L1
I think it's silver. Heavy sucker.
Think at black moustache
A1093C0L.MM1
Good thing I have this black moustache. Many a time I've said, damn!, I wish I had a black moustache. So I'm real glad I have one now.
About making the costume
A109540L.MM1
I hope you have some idea what we're doin' with this stuff, because I haven't a clue.
Think at Mosely?
Alternative of talking to Mosely at 1:10-12:
A174121B.5Z1
The guy's got his nose stuck in a newspaper. In body language that means 'buzz off.'

Cut Discussions

Here I'll put discussion sections, entire discussions, and second lines that were cut.

“I don't think I would want that between my legs, Looks dangerous."
A0FLJG44.3L2
'Course, I've *got* somethin' dangerous between my legs already -- but I'm used to that.”

From Buthane's lecture
A0G66L3W.814,100
But the third painting, the Poussin, we know for certain. In fact, I have a copy with me.

Cut from the scene between Emilio and Grace towards the end
A0KD6L3W.GV1
EMILIO,I am so very glad you came. Won't you sit down, Miss Nakimura?
A0KD6L3W.GV2
GRACE,No thank you.
A0KD6L3W.GV3
EMILIO,Very well.
And, between “You and Mesmi?” and “You are correct about Mesmi”, this once fitted:
A0KD6L3W.GVB
EMILIO,Do you mind if *I* sit, please?
A0KD6L3W.GVC
GRACE,No. I mean, yes. Sit.

Some lines were cut from the Montreaux interview
About the murder, after “there were two men...”
A0PKAJ0A.413
GABE,Two!?
A0PKAJ0A.414
MONTREAUX,Frightening, isn't it? But don't get the wrong impression of our little valley! The men probably brought the trouble with them.
After “The juice of the forbidden fruit?”
A0PKAJ2E.41B
MONTREAUX,The fruit from the tree of knowledge! The fruit that bestows the gift of consciousness! It is this gift that the grail offers us! . . . Metaphorically speaking, that is.
A0PKAJ2E.41C
Well, hell. I'm just as lost as I can be.

Extra Larry dialogue
A0QK4K4H.291
LARRY,Mr. Knight. I'm afraid I don't have the luxury today of . . .
A0QK4K4H.292
GABE,I'm not here about the Templars, actually. May I come in?
A0QK4K4H.293
LARRY,Very well.

Talk to Larry again
A0QK4K4H.881
Any more "talkin'" would be counterproductive. Funny thing, though. I have the feelin' he was nervous *before* I showed up.

Just before you climb the ivy at Serres:
A0SBRQ3H.5Y1
Okay. I just hope I don't break my neck.

Rennes-les-Bains banter between Gabriel and Mosely
A0T77P1I.3A1
GABE,. . . It all comes down to really *knowin'* a person.
A0T77P1I.3A2
MOSELY,So that's what you call it!
A0T77P1I.361
MOSELY,Knight! That's no way to talk about Ken Williams!

After talking to Estelle at 3:3-6
A0VJ5M39.299
GABE,Good luck.

A friendier goodbye to Estelle at 3:10-12
A0VK4V22.8O1
GABE,Well, guess I'll leave you to it. See ya.
A0VK4V22.8O2
ESTELLE,Good-bye, Mr. Knight.

At Serres parking lot
A0WJ8H44.PF1
I'm tired of fartin' around. Besides I have the feelin' I'm runnin' out of time.
A0WJ8H44.PF2
If I'm gonna catch Montreaux with his pants down, I'm gonna have to be ballsy about it.
A0WJ8H44.PF3
Gee . . . I coulda worded all that better.

“Roit. Who has a copy of Le Serpent Rouge?”
A0Z6E01I.OOB
BUTHANE,She does.

“You're not trying to have your way with us, are you dear?”
A0Z6E039.LO8
HOWARD,Of course, people are impossibly rude but what can you expect from the French?

Room swapping escapade
A1AC6L3W.JA1
HOWARD,Mr. Knight.
at the end:
A1AC6L3W.JA7
EMILIO,Oh. Hello, Mr. Knight.

Extra lines of Madeline talking on her phone through the door:
A1AK2P23.HN1
Oui. (…) Deux hommes étaient tués près de Rennes-le-Château.Non. Je ne les connais pas.
Yes. (…) Two men were killed near Rennes-le-Château. No. I don't know them.
A1AK2P23.HN2
Je trouvait les corps avec mon groupe de touristes. Non, je n'ai pas pu rester. (...)
I found the corpses with my tourist group. No, I couldn't stay.

Extra line for Roxanne
A1AN6L3W.MC3
ROXANNE,Au revoir, Monsieur.

Extra discussion between Wilkes and Gabe
A1CA3D39.8L1
GABE,Got a new spot, huh?
A1CA3D39.8L2
WILKES,What're ya followin' me?
A1CA3D39.8L3
GABE,Nope. Just saw the bike and wondered what was goin' on.
A1CA3D39.8L4
WILKES,Nothin' that concerns *you*, mate. *That's* what's goin' on.
A1CA3D39.8L5
GABE,Ooh. Oscar Wilde watch out.

Extra line with Roxanne:
A1DNBI2F.0L3
GABE,What's up this mornin'? I saw you talkin' to Jean.

Chat with Simone #1
A1EL1Y39.I31
GRACE,How are you this evening, Simone?
A1EL1Y39.I32
SIMONE,Very well. And yourself, Mademoiselle?
A1EL1Y39.I33
GRACE,Oh, just peachy.

Chat with Simone #2
A1EL1Y39.I41
GRACE,Anything new, Simone?
A1EL1Y39.I42
SIMONE,No, Miss. Not that I can think of.
A1EL1Y39.I43
GRACE,Ah, well. Never mind.

Deleted lines after bridge game discussion. No audio for them.
HOWARD,Very well. I expect we *can* get a table cleared and some cards?
JEAN,Certainement, Madame.

"Hi, I'm Mosely, wanna come back to my room?"
A09L7Y44.QR2
Loser.

Apparently the Abbé was supposed to do the Sirens part
443,Speaker, 494, ABBE,Live...
49Speaker, 505, ABBE,Be a god..
51Speaker, 593, ABBE,Live forever...
74Speaker, 80 MONTREAUX,Don't you want to live...
87Speaker, 90 MONTREAUX,...forever?

"Now let's see that map!"
A1HE4Y4P.TFO
GRACE,Here. The first shape I put on was the circle, then the tilted square . . .

Over the introduction...
A1HL4Y4P.1U1
EMILIO,Once upon a time the Aztecs believed, not that the gods had *granted* life to man but that man had stolen it. Had stolen it and was on a kind of 'get away spree' until the gods caught up and took it back.
A1HL4Y4P.1U2
EMILIO,Prometheus stole the Eternal Flame and Alberich stole the ring.
A1HL4Y4P.1U3
EMILIO,I'm only saying this is not a *new* story. No, it's not a *new* story at all.
A1HL4Y4P.1U4
GRACE,Something's buried out there. And I think I know where.
A1HL4Y4P.1U5
GABE,Yeah, but *what*? What's the secret of Rennes-le-Château?

Took place in the .BIK where Grace kicks Wilkes' ass.
A1HP4Y4P.LYF
WILKES,(HUMMING 'LITTLE CHINA GIRL')

About Chadrel picture:
A1LF442V.291
GABE,Hey, Grace. What's this picture doin' here?
A1LF442V.292
GRACE,It's for good luck.

Unused Mosely conversation. No audio for it either.
GABE,When I was knocked out on the train? I thought I heard one of the men say 'San Grael'. I think that means 'holy grail.'
MOSELY,Really? The kidnappers said *that*?
GABE,Yeah. Weird, huh?
MOSELY,Yeah.

After "somebody might just beat you to it!" There's no audio for it.
GABE,I gotta do *somethin'*. Right now I can't even go out with other women without feelin' guilty 'cause Grace is always around. I'm goin' nuts.
MOSELY,And you still haven't given in to temptation? God, you are afraid of commitment! Pathologically.
GABE,Yeah, and thank you for pointin' that out.

When looking at the houses outside Tour Magdala, Grace'll remark it's not as small as Rittersberg...
A20LO144.QS2
Sometimes I *really* miss New York.

After "Poor bastard!"
A22L3D44.3D2
I wonder if Wilkes was already here when I ran into Mosely last night?

Cut line, probably since it sounds tinned.
A074760S.6XA
MADELINE Knowledge has a price, Monsieur. Do you wish to find the treasure or not?

Oops...

Occasionally there are lines for things that were programmed to be in a certain way, but can't happen in the game. This includes the bug where Grace suddenly gets a Gabe line at the museum, but also things that never can happen. That and stuff I wanted to include but couldn't fit elsewhere.

When checking the parsonage at night, Gabe says nobody's home.
A0C35G44.PF1
Arnaud's probably asleep.
What Grace didn't tell you at the museum...
A0FLJN44.X31
That's Asmodeus, demon guardian of lost treasure.
A0FLJN44.X32
How interesting that Saunière pictured him like this -- chained by . . . what, heaven? The *church*?
There are two paintings that get the line "Sure is... green." Apparently this line was too risque for Dennis Miller Bunker's Pool.
//,That painting is a cow's wet dream.
Leaving Larry too early.
A0QKQM22.HC1
Wait a minute. Larry's up to somethin'.
Grace can't go to Larry's dig.
A0QLO044.QS1
Hmmm. Maybe he's been doing some excavating.
You don't get Grace near Serres after Pommes Bleu.
A0SBBU44.L11
I don't want to think about what happened down there. I'm not even *sure* what happened down there!
Grace never gets in trouble with Jean.
A1EL401I.MO1
JEAN,What can I do for you, Mademoiselle?
Grace will just take Buchelli's print and says "I already got it" if you scan that in.
A1EP0259.NS1
That's Buchelli's glass, and Gabriel already took his print.
This doesn't happen either:
A2H68X44.3T1
GRACE Well, they're ready to go. I'd better get it together.
Gabe doesn't take a shower during his stay at the hotel, at least not in a way that we can bother him.
A1LLBJ20.UB1
I can't. *He's* is in there.
Line with no audio, so I don't know who said it. Fingerprints disappear from the inventory after scanning.
I already put that fingerprint into SIDNEY.
Wilkes doesn't wear a shirt with collar.
A22L0P44.411
They even folded the collar back so it wouldn't get any blood on it.
A102TU0L.PF1
I can put this in our suspect database on SIDNEY once Grace gets here. (PATRONIZING) She'll get a kick out of it.
About the leather glove, but that will disappear from your inventory and you can't pick it up after that.
A109HF44.VN1
Kinda worked like an oven mitt, dinnit?

The Lookout Point?

I'm not sure whether it's a completely new room, or a bunch of extra objects on/in Tour Magdala. Although the latter makes sense, the numbering suggests otherwise.
Gabe's text:
A1ZLG244.QR1
Whoa! Don't make me look up like that. I'll lose my balance.
A1ZLMG44.QR1
*Now* they put in a railin'.
A1ZLMH44.QR1
Good thing I'm not afraid of heights.
A1ZLMI44.QR1
Can't see much from this one.
A1ZLMJ44.QR1
Boy, you could really look up someone's skirt on a staircase like this.

Grace's text:
A1Z6MJ44.PF1
This staircase is like something from 'Jane Eyre'.
A1ZLG244.QS1
Hope there aren't any resident pigeons.
A1ZLMG44.QS1
I could have used one of those on the way up.
A1ZLMH44.QS1
That's quite a drop out there.
A1ZLMI44.QS1
There's just shrubs and stuff out there.
A1ZLMJ44.QS1
If Saunière had so much money, why didn't he put in an elevator?

Find Your Door

A short puzzle after solving the chessboard: apparently Gabe could choose doors after, or perhaps while, solving it. Gabe still sort of has to choose, but it's not as much a puzzle.
Look text:
A1QEV544.PF1
There's somethin' written above the doors, but I have no idea what it says.

Talk to Mesmi about text:
A1QEV57M.291
GABE,Those words at the other end of the hall . . .
A1QEV57M.292
MESMI,It says 'As above, so below'.
A1QEV57M.293
GABE,Meanin' . . . ?
A1QEV57M.294
MESMI,Usually it refers to astrology. But in this case it might be referring to the temple layout being like . . .
A1QEV57M.295
GABE,Like the map maybe?
A1QEV57M.296
MESMI,Perhaps.

Look text again:
A1QEV544.FI1
'As above, so below'. I still think it's about the map.

More door selection lines
A1QEGD20.TT1
I don't see any handle! I have the feelin' if it was gonna open, it would have already. I'll have to try a different door.
A1QEGD44.TT1
I hope I'm at the right one.
A1QEGD44.TS1
Somethin' tells me I have to pick one of those.
A1QEGE44.3L1
There're some geometric shapes on the doors. I'm guessin' I have to pick one.

The Mysterious Room 2

An entire room was cut out of the Temple section. From the lines I guess it was a type of maze, with a block in the centre, and Gabe trying to figure out some Rube Goldberg contraption to open a trap door.
A1SE6L3W.411
So much for leavin' the way I came in.

A1SE6L3W.V61
Damn it! I thought for sure the exit would be . . .
A1SE6L3W.V62
Oh, shit!

A1SE6L18.EE1
I think the air just ran out.

A1SEH50L.411
Looks like a prop from "Titanic."

A1SEH51A.UV1
It's water.
A1SEH51A.UW1
I wouldn't wanna flood the place.

A1SEH62D.411
Yeah, but I don't think pushin' on it's gonna help.

A1SEH76I.411
I know that worked before, but that shaft's a wee bit small, doncha think?

A1SEH81A.UR1
That can't be right.
A1SEH81A.US1
That's not gonna work any better unless I figure out what's wrong.

A1SEH362.UH1
GABE,Grace? I'm in some kinda maze. Got any ideas?
A1SEH362.UH2
GRACE,'Le Serpent Rouge' talked about a labyrinth, but not how to solve it. Just try to get your bearings. Lemme know if you run into anything more specific.
A1SEH362.UH3
GABE,Will do.

A1SEH362.V01
I'd better make sure I know the layout of this place before I bug Grace again.
A1SEH362.V02
Wouldn't want her to think I'm nervous or anythin'.

A1SEH362.V11
GABE,Grace? I think I've got a handle on this place. It's square-shaped and in each corner is a kind of . . . well, some kind of vent or spigot or somethin'.
A1SEH362.V12
GRACE,Hmmm. I can help you with the square part. The square represents quaternities -- groups of four. As in the four seasons, the four elements, and four points of the compass.
A1SEH362.V13
GRACE,Have you found a way out yet?
A1SEH362.V14
GABE,No.
A1SEH362.V15
GRACE,Then I'd say your exit has something to do with those four corners.
A1SEH362.V16
GABE,Uh-huh. Right. I'll keep tryin'.

A1SEH362.V21
I don't think Gracie's *got* any better advice.

A1SEH544.UJ1
Okay. I'll bite. What does it do?
A1SEH544.UL1
It turns on the water.

A1SEH644.UY1
It's either a dragon playing with blocks or some kind of mechanism.
A1SEH644.UZ1
It's a nifty, medieval spark-producer. Like somethin' from Ghengis Khan's smokin' room.

A1SEH744.EB1
Looks like a grated shaft.
A1SEH744.411
,It's an air shaft -- like the ones in the pyramids.

A1SEH844.UQ1
Looks like a spigot to me.

A1SEUM44.UO1
It's a symbol of some sort, but I'm not sure what it means.
A1SEUM44.UO2
If I'm s'posed to cut off more of my hair, you can *forget* it.

A1SEUM44.UP1
That must be the symbol for air.

A1SEUN44.411
More symbols. I think this is the center of the maze.

A1SEUO44.411
Now that's definitely a sign for fire. Even I know that much.

A1SEUS44.UL1
I'm thinkin' that means 'water'.
A1SEUS44.411
A bunch of wavy lines. Could be anythin'.

A1SEUV44.UQ1
A range of mountains perhaps?
A1SEUV44.411
There's oil in the vase so I guess that could be . . . land? Earth?
A1SEUX0L.DN1
This has somethin' to do with gettin' out of this maze, but I'm not sure what.
A1SEUX44.UQ1
It's an old-fashioned vase. You know, from the days before refridgerators.
A1SEUX44.411
That vase has oil in it.

A1SEUY6L.291
(SIGH) I guess I have to try it.
A1SEUY6L.UM1
Okay. That was interestin'. Pointless, but interestin'.
A1SEUY6L.UN1
The water just puts it out. That can't be right.
A1SEUY6L.UX1
That *should* work, but it's so suffocatin' down here -- the fire won't stay lit.

A1SEUY6L.V41
Wow! It worked!
A1SEUY6L.V42
Uh . . . I think it's time to find a way out. *Now*.

A1SEUY44.UY1
Looks like a pull-chain to me, but knowin' how this place is rigged, there's no tellin' *what* it'll do.
A1SEUY44.UZ1
It's a pull-chain for 'Barnie the Lighter' over there.

A1SEV00L.411
Reminds me of Grace's mother.
A1SEV02D.UJ1
I don't see anythin' that looks 'pushable'. Besides, he might bite.

A1SEV11A.E11
It's cranked up as far as it'll go.
A1SEV11A.UO1
It's fresh air! God, that feels good about now!

A1SEV22D.411
I don't think battin' those around will do any good.
A1SEV32D.411
It *might* move, but I don't see how.

A1SEV044.UJ1
Cute little fella.
A1SEV044.UL1
I need one of those for my bathroom at Schloss Ritter.

A1SEV244.EB1
That's obviously not there for decorative purposes.
A1SEV244.411
Wind chimes.

A1SEV344.411
That black stone must mark the center of the maze.

The Alternative Cat Hair Moustache

Cat Hair Moustache became notorious and was used as example that the Adventure genre was dead. In an interview, game designer Jane Jensen revealed she didn't like it either, and that another original puzzle was planned. According to writer ADB, Gabe was to steal a spray gun from Arnaud, then attach that to a hose near the museum, and use that to spray down a crow's nest. The poor crow used black rug fibers to build it, and Gabe was to use those fibers as moustache. It was cut because they couldn't get the spray to work well.
Note: I copied these files directly from my script. As I pasted every single file one by one, the discovery of this puzzle went beautifully gradual: initially I had a tree and a hose in the bonus file, then came more and more lines, and on the last day I found the line that dropped the main hint: I'd encovered the Alternative Moustache puzzle. Now I know how an archeologist feels!
Apparently there's an awkward tree out in RlC

A1XL4H44.QR1
GABE,These French people put trees in the weirdest damn places.
A13L4H44.QS1
GRACE,The tree is a symbol of life. In this case, however, it's more likely a symbol of indifference to motorized vehicles.

And what's more: there's a nest in the tree!
No audio
UNKNOWN,What would I want with a bird's nest? Even if I *could* get up there.
No audio
GABE,Looks like a male crow buildin' his nest. Expectin' company, maybe.
No audio
UNKNOWN,Is it just me, or does he look cranky?
A13L4H3H.CW1
GABE,*CLIMB*? I haven't done that since I was six or seven.
A13L4H3H.CW2
GABE,Besides, that bird would probably peck me to death before I could get up there.
A13L4H44.3L1
GABE,Nice tree. You could almost hang some bulbs on it and make it a stoplight.
No audio
GRACE,It's a bird's nest. Looks kind of damp.
No audio
GABE,He's using fibers from that black rug to line his nest. *I* could use some of those.
No audio. No idea where it's from but it's below the bird's nest line.
GABE,Yup. I knocked it down all right.

What black rug? This one:
GABE,It's a black rug.
GRACE,Someone's airing their rug.

Looks like there was something involving the hose at the museum...

A10LTD0L.PF1
Now if only somethin' was on fire.
A10LTD44.PF1
There's a hose by the museum that I might be able to use. Assumin' I had somethin' to use it *for*.
A10LTW0L.PF1
I suspect there was a *reason* I was able to put that spray gun on the hose.
A10LTW44.PF1
There's a hose with a spray gun near the museum.

No audio files come with the following lines:
A garden hose. Pretty high tech.
That gun attachment should help.
Hmmm. I might be able to make use of that hose, now that I think about it.
That hose was useful.
I ought to be able to use that hose on the bird's nest.
That should help.
I can't get up there.
I can't get it. It's too high.
That's not gonna work.
I think I've done enough of that.
It's not gonna work as is. I can't aim the water flow.
I don't think I hurt it any.
That bird would kill me if I touched it again.

Wait! Ive found it! It's the Alternative Puzzle That Was To Go In Place Of Cat Hair Moustache!
A139520L.CW1
I wish I could get that nest down. I need some of those black fibers.

Grace has these lines for it; without audio.
Uh . . . and what would I do with it . . . exactly?
I doubt Rennes-le-Château has a 'wet T-shirt' night.
A13L5D44.QS1
GRACE,It's a garden hose. Odd. I don't see any plants around here. Maybe it's for the tree.
There's a bird's nest up there.
