Letters

From Gordon

thanks for the help but it did not help. I must have spent 3 hours checking the area that the walk threws talked about, but it was not woking. If you are familiar with Ravenloff Strads possession then you know where the church is.

the walk threws tell you go to the mirror and look at it. they then say go to the priest and look at him. after this go east and push the two buttons. I looked all over the wall to the east. I also had other people read the cheats and try the same thing. after hours and hours noone was able to locate the two buttons on the wall where there were supposed to be. If you have any ideas on how to push the two buttons then let me know.
