Case 8 (Dark Motives Case 4) - Miss Direction- wound mould on XBOX

[amandaned]

Hi,
I am completely stuck on case 4, Miss Direction on Xbox. I don't seem to be able to make a mould of the wound. I have got all the evidence that I can see. I have asked for a hint, but all it comes up with "Nothing for you right now".
Could someone help?
Thank you.

Hi

If the Xbox version is like the PC version, you may find it easier to take the cast of the bullet wound once the body is in the morgue. Try to go as close up to the wound as possible [try using the scope] and try to take a cast using the microsil [the tube one]. You may need to click it on just the right spot.

Hope that helps!

I have tried that, but for some reason it just wont let me make the mould. I have followed a walk though but it must not be right for the xbox version. Does anyone know of a good walk though for the xbox? Would appreciate it a lot.

Rechecked the PC version- if the XBOX version is similar, you need to first find out what kind of bullet it was that killed Meryl.

Doc Robbins should have given you a bullet fragment when he checked over the body after he recovered it. Check out the bullet fragment in your inventory, and then give it to Greg. [If you've given it to Greg before, but didn't look at it closely, look at it closely and give it back to Greg.] Greg will ID the calibre, which you can then go back to the prop rooom and get a bullet sample. Go back to Greg and verify it's similar.

Then go back to the theatre and talk to Heather again- she will mention the orchestra pit.

You are now cleared to start taking trajectory tests- the first step of which is to get a microsil mould of the bullet impact and take it to Greg to measure. Then go back to the theatre and play with the dummy

Hope that helps!

I have an Xbox Version as well and am at the same stage as you was amandaned. I asked Nick for help and he advised me use the Magnifying Scope. How do we do this on Xbox? Or should we be doing this at all... I have tried to Double Press 'A' before giving the Bullet Fragment to Greg but this is not possible.

I have tried asking Gus, Heather and the Husband more questions and they have nothing more to say.

Please help.

Sorry I'm not much help with the XBOX version of the game.

All I know is that in the PC version, you can only take a mould of the wound in the morgue WHEN Nick says you should set up for the trajectory tests.

This is after Doc Robbins has given you the bullet fragments from Meryl, and you have looked at it closely and given it to Greg. Looking at it closely is the key part, as well as giving it to Greg. I had to give it to him twice.

You also must have found the comparison bullet in the Prop Room and matched the type of bullet first.

Then you can go take a closer look Meryl's body, get as close as you can to the lower wound and use the microsil.

Hope you can find the XBOX solution to this problem soon!
Good luck!

i also cant get a mold i have tried everything i cant go any further now. Also heather has never mentioned the orchestra pit when i talk to her she says she has nothing else to say? dose anyone have a complete walkthrough?

[thekay]

There is a complete walkthrough in the articles section [I wrote it for the PC version, so some XBOX nuances might be left out].

As for the orchestra pit, Heather does not talk about it until you found the evidence in it- to get access to the pit, you need to play with the dummy [the one they use with lasers to track bullet paths]. Once you get the wound mold, [in the morgue] you can get access to the dummy on the stage. [Other evidence probably has to be found first, so don't give up!]

I am on the 8th or 9th case and the young lady was shot at the play she was going to be in and im trying to take a mold of the gun shot wound. and also check the bullet that came out of her for markings. But it will not allow me to do either one please help me.

[thekay]

This is probably not a bug to do with your XBOX...

For the mold of the wound, make sure you are using the microsil [the one that looks like toothpaste] on the lower wound. Get as close as possible- it might be easier to get it when the body is in the morgue.

For the bullet- get as close as possible to it a la pop up window.
