The Procession to Calvary Walkthrough

A guide to completing The Procession to Calvary (murder-free)

Before You Begin

To succeed in your task of bringing Heavenly Peter to justice, you must reach him without doing any murders. If at any point you do kill someone, word of your deeds will spread quickly, townspeople will stop offering you their support, and the only way forward will be to continue killing anyone who stands in your way...

• Return to the dressmakers to pick up your dress

Kill Peter

• Give your bribes to the bishops

Alternate Endings

There are two alternate endings. To reach the first, follow the steps above until you meet Heavenly Peter, then talk to him instead of murdering him. Accept his offer of great riches. Two reach the second alternate ending, simply murder someone (or everyone who stands in your way) before reaching Heavenly Peter...

thanks, the map was stumping me

[Chayoneko]

Great walkthrough! Thanks a lot!

[GrumblePug]

This was a great game! Thank you so much!

[Mrneotokio]

woah thanks i love this game

[mimar]

Put it INTO the crypt with Martin Luther. Ie eyeball MLuther IN crypt, (where you have tried to TAKE the book).

[Addckt]

What you mean with "guy in graveyard"? Poor Steeve? Im giving Lamb to him, but nothing happens.

On my second playthru (16 hours) about to pass the Cardinals to see H. Pete. In my first, I wound up KILLING everything I could (in frustration). This second attempt I had gotten all but the Broach. Never thinking my friend the skunk was a necessity to follow me ( I then read this Guide)to find another way of approach to gain the key. Then lots of trouble getting the HAND to appear over the map. SHHHEEESH!

With lots of thought into your puzzles (loved 4 Last as well), I am oft times troubled and frustrated. But when I DO FIND the answer, there is a smile of satisfaction on my face. But to think that I had to have the skunk follow?

I do look foward to the next title Death of the R. When do expect it's release?

Concerning the riddle...
"From crucifixion they oft derive" - means we have to look for crucifixion's scenes at the gallery.
"In Jan's there's one" - Jan Provoost [Jean Provost] 's painting is at the far right of the room.
"Antonello's, five" - Antonello de Messina's painting is a small one downward of the room.
"Search Pete's to find another one" - Peter Gertner's is right to the guard.
"But altas, Cornelis features none" - Cornelis Engebrechtsz's is next to the two ladies.

As said in the guide, the answer is "a skull".
The riddle also hint you where to start looking for it.

how to examine the music? I'm having trouble with that

If you do bribe #2 before bribe #1, does that make you stuck in the game? I am unable to progress, all the doors in the city are shut now.
