I located bench with an oiler in Engine Hall but how to get it? When I type "get oiler" small conversation with Giovanna appears on the screen and it ends with "You can't".
I checked around and I think there is a bug in the versions of the game where the three parts are spliced together in a single file (such as the Amiga one), revision 1.0.1. When you say to Emilia to take the oiler you get this:
> take oiler
- Nanna, can I please borrow you some tools?
- Yes, but do not leave them around after you finish.
You can't.
And the oiler is not in your inventory. However, if you continue, Emilia behaves like the oiler is with her! I did not notice this bug, as it appears only in the versions of the game where the three parts are spliced together. I always check that the game can be finished with a standard solution and it did. I haven't noticed the "You can't." message that here is indeed very confusing and incorrect.
I will correct it in the next week or so.
To continue playing, try with this sequence from start of part 2, it should work:
n
n
w
talk to father
read letter
read message
e
s
e
talk to voicepipe
push button
w
n
talk to nanna
s
s
open the door
e
activate compressor
x compressor
open valve
w
n
n
x bench
take oiler
s
s
e
put oil on the valve
open valve
activate compressor
Let me know if this lets you continue playing.
I had a closer look and could find the error on the game logic. However, I still have to work to put together the build system to get the Amiga game. I changed my computer in the meanwhile and the compiler I used does not like the gcc version I have now. I think I will manage to get something working as I need it for other things, too, but it will require some time.
In the meanwhile, I tried with the FS-UAE emulator with this sequence on Silk Dust for Amiga version 1.0 and it worked:
restart
shibboleth ohbastala
n
n
w
talk to father
read letter
read message
e
s
e
talk to voicepipe
push button
w
n
talk to nanna
s
s
open the door
e
activate compressor
x compressor
open valve
w
n

x bench
take oiler
s

e
put oil on the valve
open valve
activate compressor
It's strange - your last sequence looks exactly the same like the previous one (posted few days ago) which didn't work. I'll wait for fixed Amiga version.
Anyway I've played Spectrum version and I have gone further in the game. I met Father Antonio and talked to him. When I come back to my car and want to drive it a message "you forgot about something" appears. What should be done here?
Thank you for your patience: I'm currently battling against the cross compiler, I'm confident I will succeed one day or another :-)
The sequence was almost identical to the first one but I wanted to be sure to start from scratch, hence the password. I suspected a different behavior from what I got may came from something different on the start of part 2.
I'm glad you could advance the game on the Spectrum. Give the tunic back to Salvatore, or put it back on the shed. You don't want to steal it after all.
