"Gabriel Knight 2: The Beast Within" Walkthrough There's two ways to use this (or any other) walkthrough: either as a last resort when you're stuck, or as a map to get through in the fastest time possible. I heartily recommend the first use, since the puzzles in GK2 are not that hard and the satisfaction when you solve one on your own is very rewarding. Besides, slamming through as noted here takes at least four hours anyway, so you might as well slow down and have some fun. When you have the opportunity to "talk" to a character, say everything you're given to say. With one exception that will be noted, you can go in any order you like. When you have the opportunity to read something, it's often helpful to have the character read it out loud; sometimes they'll add useful comments along the way. In general, there's no time constraints in this game, and you can have Gabe or Grace just stand there while you think. In those places where time is an issue, I'll remind you to save before it starts. I haven't noted many explorations that garner no points and have no effect on the final game. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't click on everything you can; there's some fun comments scattered throughout (like Gabriel's comment on the woodpecker clock before he buys it). Always look at things after you pick them up, and read Grace's notebook every now and then to see what she thinks of what she's seen and heard. Her omissions are sometimes as revealing as her notes. This game gave me 678 points out of a possible 679. I suspect that the ending movie counts as that last point, but if you find a point I missed, please let me know; this kind of thing drives me nuts. - Lynn Hendricks (72320,3420) Chapter One Lochham: Open Gabe's bag 1 Get stuff from bag 1 Look at stuff 3 Write to Grace (using paper on table) 1 Pick up newspaper on table 1 Read newspaper 2 Read Huber's note 1 Get car keys 1 Look at pawprint by water trough 1 Look at hair by forest 1 Get hair 2 Mix cement in barn 1 Pour cement in print 5 Pick up cast 1 Total: 22 Thalkirchen: Try to attract wolves 1 Read wolf sign 1 Talk to Thomas 4 Talk to Klingmann 4 Total: 32 Lochham: Splice tape 10 Total: 42 Thalkirchen: Search Klingmann's coat 2 Look at both sides of receipt 2 Use spliced tape on walkie-talkie 5 Look at Marguerite's tag 1 Pet Marguerite 4 Total: 56 Lochham: Look at receipt in mirror 5 Total: 61 Marienplatz: Find lawyer's office 1 Talk to Harald (lawyer) 5 Mail letter to Grace (on Dienerstrasse) 1 Enter 54 Dienerstrasse (club) 1 Talk to Xavier 1 Ask Harald for papers 1 Total: 71 Prinzregentenplatz: Talk to officer on duty 1 Total: 72 Universitaet: Give samples to Michael, get report 7 Total: 79 Marienplatz: Get papers from Harald 1 Give papers to Xavier 10 Total: 90 Ending movie Chapter Two Opening movie Schloss Ritter: Check locked door 0 Talk to Gerde 4 Check car 0 Talk to Werner at gasthof 4 Talk to mayor at rathaus 2 Ask Gerde about car 0 Get screwdriver (by fireplace) 1 Use screwdriver on hole in fireplace 3 Enter secret tunnel (in wardrobe) 5 Get in Gerde's room 2 Get key in her wardrobe 2 Unlock library door 5 Get werewolf book (second shelf) 1 Read werewolf book 2 Read Ludwig letter 2 Get journals (third shelf) 2 Read journals 4 Look for Ludwig bio (first shelf) 0 Call Prof. Barclay 5 Talk to mayor 8 Look out dungeon window at church 2 Talk to mayor 2 Give note to priest in church 2 Talk to mayor 5 Talk to Werner 2 Write to Gabriel 5 Get address from Gerde 2 Mail package 5 Total: 167 Ending movie Chapter Three Opening movie Lochham: Read newspaper 1 Look at von Glower's card 1 Total: 169 Marienplatz: Talk to Harald 0 Read Grace's letter and books 2 Talk to Harald 2 Total: 173 Lochham: Write to Grace 1 Total: 174 Marienplatz: Buy cuckoo clock 4 Mail letter to Grace 1 Go to crime scene 1 Try to talk to Leber 2 Give lab report to newswoman 5 Crime Scene movie Talk to Xavier 3 Put clock in plant by locked door 5 Wait for Xavier to leave;
