Shivers two - Harvest of Souls
© 1997 Sierra On-Line, Inc.
Comments:
Shivers Two is a dynamic, epic adventure game which is full of some of the most challenging and creative puzzles to hit this medium since Myst. However, unlike its predecessors, shivers Two offers a near 360 degree game environment, smooth game play, a user-friendly menu interface, Internet connection and a rockin' sound track. Couple all this with a unique story line and smoothly integrated video clips and the result is one of the best PC games to come into existence.
Shivers Two is not a linear game. The path which is described in this document is only one of many. Feel free to explore on your own…you'll always be able to go back to find missed items.
Many thanks go out to Willie Eide (for developing this game) and for all his on-line help to us gamers.
Further on-line information on this game can be obtained from Sierra at www.sierra.com.
Solutions:
For this game, I have chosen to provide solutions to most of the more difficult puzzles you will encounter. This is not a step by step walk-through. Most likely, such a document would become redundant and unwelcome. To sum up the smaller details, please do
the following:
- Always listen to and save every telephone
message
- pick up everything possible (notes,
items, objects etc.)
- use common sense
One of the best tips I can offer on this game is to READ THE MANUAL! Everyone hates doing this but, in this case, it is very important….so do it. Please also keep in mind that the music videos (which are discussed later) contain exclusive clues to some of the game's puzzles. I strongly suggest that you watch these videos a few times (at least).
I'm in the Motel Lobby…What do I do?
- Get your 1st bahos stick from the "jack in the box" by ringing the bell (see below).
- Read the note in the #6 mail slot behind the desk and note Pearl's phone number
(555-6312). Call the number.
- Read the insurance letter on the desk
- Read the bible in the desk drawer
- notice the razor (you can't take it) in another drawer
- purchase some batteries from the vending machine (after you find a quarter in Phil's Market-See question below)
- Take the odd shaped object from the bottom, right drawer. You'll need this piece in the library (see that section for more information).
- take the used chewing gum from the ash tray
- stick some gum over the red light on the TV (see below for reason)
- This is also a good time to watch the music videos on the TV (use gum first)
What do I do in the Motel Rooms?
In Room #5
- Listen to all your phone messages
- Listen to the radio stations
- use your key to open your locked truck. Get the video cassette from the trunk and look at the various papers in there too.
- Watch the video cassette in the VCR
- You will find a bahos stick in one of the dresser drawers (It appears their later in the game so check it often.
- Notice the picture of the griffin over the dresser (this is a clue to a puzzle)
- Get the bahos stick from the bottom dresser drawer (It's not there at the beginning of the game. You must first call Dark Cloud on the phone before it will show up here. Refer to the section below on the Café). Here is the corresponding petroglyph puzzle solution for this bahos stick:
In Room #6
- Get the crow bar from the floor
- Listen to the phone messages
- look through the wallet on the dresser
- You might find a chess piece in one of the dresser drawers. These chess pieces are used on a puzzle in the gas station. There are four pieces to find and the appear to be scattered randomly throughout Cyclone
- You can NOT do anything with the camera on the floor.
Every time I click on a TV, I get "transported" someplace! Why?
Every television set in Cyclone (except in the two motel rooms) has a red light on its upper left corner. This light is hypnotizing and should be avoided. Use the used chewing gum from the motel lobby to cover these lights. You'll then be able to watch Trip Cyclone music videos etc. and get important hints.
What are all these numbers I keep seeing on papers?
Numbers such as 1-9-18-8-3 are actually codes. You'll see these numbers in several location in the game such as on the letter from your trunk in the motel and in Wendy's notebook. The code is a variation of the alphabet. Each code number represents its alpha equivalent LESS FOUR. For example: The number 18 would translate to the letter N. 18-4=14. N is the 14th letter in the alphabet. The following chart is the completed code listing.

Therefore, the above code (1-9-18-8-3) would translate to "WENDY"
Where do I find these Bahos Sticks and how many are there?
The sticks are located all over the town of Cyclone (usually hidden by puzzles). You'll get your first stick from the front desk of the motel. Ring the bell on the counter! Get the stick and take it to the canyon. Don't forget to notice the shape of the symbol on the box which the bahos was in. You'll need to find the same
shape inside the canyon.
There are a total of 12 Bahos sticks to find.
I've got a Bahos Stick but I don't know what to do with it.
You must bring your stick into Devil's Mouth Canyon. You can see the location of the canyon from your map.
I keep getting killed in Devil's Mouth Canyon. Help!
Each of the 12 Bahos sticks has a corresponding symbol. The symbol for each stick is always displayed close to the location of where you found the stick. When you get to the Canyon with your stick, find the same (or similar) symbol (called a "petroglyph") on one of the canyon's walls. A puzzle will appear whenever you click on a corresponding petroglyph. The following is a picture of the solution for your first petroglyph (for the bahos you found in the lobby of the motel office).
Once you solve the petroglyph puzzle, proceed through the canyon until you find a locked, wooden door (blue in color). Click on the box to the right of the door to reveal a skull. Clicking on the skull will open the door to the altar. If you fail to solve the petroglyph puzzles, the skull will not allow you access to the altar room.
Always try to save your game at the mouth of the canyon because the petroglyphs will try to steal your life essence. This makes it important for you to quickly find and click on the petroglyph you're looking for.
These music videos don't seem to tell me anything.
Pay close attention to the actors. Their body language can show a lot. You may also want to turn on the captioning feature so that you can see the lyrics.
I need help opening the warehouse door.
You will notice that there is one bar missing from the center of the puzzle. You must find this bar before you can open the door (see above). Put the bar from the CD case in its place on the door puzzle. Move the sliders to match the position which were displayed to you on the paper from the CD. If you forgot what they were, you can use the "flashback" feature on your menu bar. Each of the bars in the puzzle will turn when you click on them.
What do I do in the warehouse?
There is a cassette tape hidden inside the cymbals. The tape has a recording of Dark Cloud's chant. Use it with the cassette tape player (see Pearl's House section for more information).
Go into the recording room and look through Olivia's notebook. Pay attention to the chess board layout. This image will also be stored in your "flashback" inventory.
Look inside the van. Now you must solve the puzzle in the crate to get another Bahos stick. Here is the solution to the marble puzzle inside the crate. This solution was provided by Mona on the Sierra message board:
Number along the top, left to right, one through seven. And letters A through G down the side, top to bottom. Move the marbles in the following order:
6G-3G, 1F-1C, 2A-5A, 7F-7G, 7G-6G, 7B-7F, 6E-7E (FREE), 7E-7B, 2C-2D (FREE), 2D-1D, 1D-1F, 5D-5E, 5E-7E (FREE), 2B-2D (FREE), 3B-3C (FREE), 5B-2B, 2B-2A, 5F-5B, 5B-2B, 4C-4B, 3F-5F, 6F-6D, 6D-5D, 6C-6E, 3C-6C, 3D-3B, 2D-3D, 2E-2C, 4E-4F (FREE), 6E-1E, 6C-6F, 6B-6E, 6E-4E, 4B-6B, 5A-5B, 2C-6C, 2F-2C, 2C-4C, 4F-2F, 3G-3F, 1E-2E, 1C-2C,
7E-6E
Here is the solution to the corresponding petroglyph puzzle:
What do I do with this $2.50 change I have?
You need to buy some batteries for your cassette player. You can buy the batteries from the vending machine in the motel lobby. However, they cost $2.75. You can find that extra quarter on the floor in the market store by the cola machine. Once you get that extra quarter, add it to your other $2.50 by viewing the change with the eye on your menu bar. Add the extra quarter to Your $2.50 using this close-up view.
What do I do in Phil's Market Store?
- You need to get the 25 cent piece from the floor by the cola machine (see above).
- Click on one of the tiles on the windowsill to reveal a hidden token. Take the token and insert it into the vending machine. Press the cola buttons to get a mechanical, letter decoder. You will use the letter decoder on information you get from the computer in the Safari Savings and Loans building.
- Solve the egg puzzle in the cooler to get a Bahos stick. The following is the egg puzzle solution and the corresponding petroglyph puzzle solution for this bahos stick:
The white dots on each openings indicate how many spaces the egg will be tossed. Your objective is to get the egg into the bottom, right opening. Use these moves to solve the puzzle:
