Hi Connie & Bob,

   You know, this Dagger game has ups and downs. Sometimes it's annoying and
sometimes its interesting. There's another posting near Bob's complaining
that the game allows you to begin a new act, without having found all major
important objects/facts from the previous act, therefore being impossible to
complete the game successfuly. I second that opinion. In the sixth (and final)
act you'll see what I mean, just wait (and pass the fifth !).

   Now, I could have spent a couple of hours preparing this posting, to make
sure the spoilers aren't too obvious, but I'll give you what I'd like to be
given: strait tips, so you wont have to say "I wonder what this guy is talking
about ...". Besides, by the time you both read this, I'll bet you'll have it
all solved already, so, here go the tips:

   ACT 5 SUMMARY:

      1. Run east to the room where you found Ziggy dead (yeah, it's Ziggy,
         and his head is hanging on the wall of the masks exhibit room, in
         case you didn't find it).
      2. Use hand on door to close it (begining of a series of actions to
         delay the mysterious killer).
      3. Use the wire (the one you get in the insigth of Ziggy's dead body,
         try the wire cutter (the one you get from Eddie's office, in the tool
         box) on the wires hanging in the west part of the insight) on the
         door you just closed, to tie it close (delay 2)
      4. Run west to the ancient weapons room, use hand to close another door
         behind you (delay 3), and another hand to close the lock (delay 4)
      5. Run north (to the corridor where is the door you never could open 
         before, you won't open it now either). Find the chair, use hand on
         it, then climb on it, use hand on the opening at the top of the door,
         just to open it (this will fool the killer, he will think that you
         entered this room)
      6. Run north, then west, to the mummy's room. Use hand in the mummy case
         in the middle, it'll open and you'll hide in there, while the murderer
         cames in the room and then goes away. You'll hear him breaking the
         door of the mysterious room. Go back, enter the room and ...

   I don't want to take all the fun out of the game. Try those steps and 
you'll be able to proceed !

   Good Luck !
