Episode 1 Walkthrough [EN] (At the Gates of Eden - Sound Belief)

This is the walkthrough I've translated from my French one when Adam's Venture games weren't reunited in Chronicles. It concerns The Search For The Lost Garden.

Introduction

Well, it seems that Adam Venture's Chronicles is reuniting all episodes in one "game". So it's normal to also publish guides here. Nothing changes from the already existing walkthroughs.

You will see French words on the screenshots. I'll put under them the legend.

At The Gate of Eden

When you take control of Adam, enter the cave and climb down the ladder. Go to the base.

After the talk with Evelyn, go to your dog and speak with him several times until you unlock the achievement concerning that action.

Go near the fire at the feet of the left statue, ignite your torch then take the left path and join the Professor.

Once your talk is finished, go back to the base, stay on the left and go forward (with the view, it means that you have to go towards the bottom of your screen).



You'll find a machine that will produce TNT. It's your first puzzle. So how it works?

The first barrel (triangle) weighs 100. You need only 25. The whole barrel is going down in the second line.

The second barrel (square) weighs 160. You need only 40. The barrel is cut in two when going down in the second line.

The third barrel (circle) weighs 120. You need only 30. The whole barrel is going down in the second line.

The last barrel (diamond) weighs 40. You need only 5. The whole barrel is going down in the second line.

All barrels from the second line will go down with everything they contain. The difference is that the middle one and the right one will be mixed.

Finally, the left barrel from the last line will let half of its content and the right one the quarter of it.

To understand, here is a screenshot:



Go back to the Professor and put the explosives near the rocks. Ignite them (if you choose to ignore your torch, go ignite it now). Once you found a passage, go in.

After the cutscene, run to avoid the giant blades.

The Search Begins

Go to left, jump over the rocks and crouch to take the passage in the wall. Keep going till you see a wall with bricks on it. Now, it's time for some Tomb Raider time! Jump to grip the bricks and go to your right. Then, press CTRL to come back on the ground.

After the cutscene, take the big crate in the middle of the water and drag it elsewhere. Crouch and take the passage that was previously blocked.

You're back to the beginning. Go to the far right to press a button. You will see a fence in the waterfall room going up. Come back to that room and take the new path.



Once you have entered a new room, go to the right, near the entrance, to find a chest which contains the code CREATION.

Vers coffre = To the chest
Vers salle précédente = To the previous room

Go to the left and climb up. Then go push the button to activate a lift in the beginning room. Go back to that room.

Take the lift, then go forward and ignite the wood. Go forward.

The cutscene shows you speaking to Evelyn and noticing a black smoke. Anyway, you're facing three choices: FAITH, HOPE, LOVE.

Go to the pole and make sure that the following message appears:



Enter the LOVE cave. The message gave you the answer but you can also see a fresco on the wall where the heart (love) is taking over a cross (faith) and an anchor (hope). If you take HOPE or FAITH, the black smoke will kill you.



Jump on the rock on the left to open another chest with the code LIGHT. Then, keep going till you're in front of a fence and a strange receptacle.

Coffre = chest


Use it to launch a puzzle.

You have to make sure that every line and column make 10. This is one of the solutions:

I	I	VIII
I	VIII	I
VIII	I	I

You get rewarded with a piece for the final puzzle.

Go in the passage and ignite a fire. Pass the door.

Here, you don't have any choice. You have to go under the left waterfall (and extinguish your torch) for another pole with a message.

The following sentence is the right one:



Water will stop. Ignite your torch then go to the right and ignite a fire. Keep going, go to the left and take the key. Come back and open the fence.

In that new room, you'll see a big waterfall. Before taking a leap of faith, climb down (you have bricks on the right side) and enter the cave on your right. You can see a fresco with someone taking a leap of faith. Go to the left to find another chest with the code FIRMAMENT.

Coffre = chest


Go back at the entrance of the room. Position yourself there, run and jump. You should land on the other side of the waterfall. Keep going until you see a new receptacle. Use it for a new puzzle.

II	VII	I
IV	II	IV
IV	I	V

Take a grip on the bricks on the wall, go to the right and once you're on the wooden bridge, go further.

A Full Spectrum

Keep going and ignore the passage with cristals in it. Climb up the ladder, ignite your torch and enter a new room.

Go to the pole for a new message.



Go on your left to ignite a fire then go to use the red and yellow mirrors to make an orange ray (as the door is surrounded by orange cristals). Go back to the pole then go down behind it. Crouch and go in the narrow passage to retrieve the missing cristal. Go to the left to land in the passage with cristals.



Come back to the main room, ignite your torch and put the cristal where the red and yellow lights cross paths.



After the cutscene, keep going. Go to the left after the bridge and solve the puzzle.

You have to push switchs to make them yellow or red. Look at the column to understand how it works. Here, you can see the following pattern:

Yellow + Yellow = Yellow
Red + Red = Red
Yellow + Red = Yellow

The first answer is:


The second answer follows the same rules:


Climb down the stairs then the ladder on the left. Once on the ground, go to the left to find a passage. Crouch and open a chest to find the code VEGETATION.


Coffre = chest

Then go to the right to find another ladder. Climb it down, go to the left to find a nearly dead fire. Ignite it then run towards the new opened passage. If you don't make it in time, don't worry, just ignite the fire again.

Follow the passage to find a room with ropes everywhere.

Hold On To Your Belief

Go to the hole between the fences on the right and climb down the rocks. Keep going to the right, then turn around the pillar to find a ladder. Climb it up. Jump behind you to grab some rocks and climb up on the ground. Go to the rope and grab it.

Follow it, you don't have any choice in that matter. After falling down, Adam grabs rocks. Just take the right rope and keep going. Climb up on the ground and go to the left. Take a new rope and keep going.

Once you're on the ground, go to the right and grab the last rope. Jump behind you and then climb up. Once near the pole, go to the right, run and jump on the pillar with the chest. The code is SEASONS.



Come back to the pole and build the following message.



Follow the new path and when you enter the dark area, follow the green light. At the end, run and jump.

Go near the receptacle and solve the puzzle.

I	III	VI
III	V	II
VI	II	II

Take the passage on your right.

The Lion and the Snake

Keep advancing in the new room. Then, climb down the ladder and got to the right passage to find another chest with the code CREATURES.



Come back in the main room to find that message:



Ignite the torch with the middle fire then ignite the right one. It's opening the Lion Door (the Snake Door anyway will close quickly) as the message was clear about the Lion being superior to the Snake. Run to the ladder, climb up, jump on the rock and crouch down immediately. If you miss, ignite the fire back and keep trying until you manage to pass the door.

Keep following the passage then climb down the ladder and move the crate until it's facing the narrow passage.



Climb up and crouch. Keep going. Go to the far right to ignite your torch and then take the ladder. Go to the left and burn the spiderweb.

Go forward and climb up to the right. Follow the path then go down. Keep going till another puzzle.

II	IV	IV
VI	I	III
II	V	III

Keep going until you see plants. Take the left path to find another chest with the code IMAGE.

Coffre = chest

Come back and keep going down.

Sound Belief

You will arrive in a big room with instruments. Go the the pole next to the rock circle and make sure the following message is appearing.



Now that air is coming from holes on the ground, you can place the instruments as following:



Take the path that was revealed. Ignite your torch and burn the wood to launch another puzzle.

The first answer is the following (only yellow + yellow = yellow)



The second is the following (only red + red = red)



Keep going then go down with the ladder. Go to the left and keep following the path.

Another pole is waiting for you but a piece is missing. So, keep following the path. You'll arrive in front of a wall. Get over it.

Go to the right and climb up on the platform to find the last chest with REST as code.




Climb down and follow the river. You'll stumble upon a room with four existinguished fires. You have to ignite them but in a certain order because they're timed. Begin by the right one at the end of the room, near the fence and run in a anti-clockwise direction. Keep doing it until the fence is lifted. Take the missing piece and go back to the pole.

If you didn't open the chest, as it's on your way back, you can do it now.

Put the piece on the pole. The platform will move. Take the new path, run to avoid the blade and solve the last puzzle before the climax of the game.


The first answer is the following (if the first switch is yellow, the result will be always red - and the contrary is right too)



The second answer is the following (only red + yellow = red)



Pass the door and go back to your team. Apparently, the Professor has its own agenda. If you want an achievement first, try to open the door. Then go to the circles on the ground. The big drawings (outer ring) must point towards their painting pieces. The Sun (symbolizing the light) must be the top one.



After that, look at the drawings in the inner ring. They will indicate which piece in your possession is tied to them. There is a change of design in Chronicles making it easier to solve. Thanks yah to have reminded me of this! The sequence is the following:



After the cutscene, follow Evelyn. Go to the right and climb up the boxes to a platform then go to left. Climb down, take the ladder, go up and run to the exit. Keep running to the plane.

thanks I played all 3 and this chonicles was in my library so trying to fast track though the whole thing again ..Boring

Yeah I saw that too.

I followed this guide and apparently the only difference (between puzzles, paths, collectibles) is the last puzzle, as the pieces have different textures.

Either way, in this version it is much easier, with the game outright telling you which piece goes where. Here's a screenshot, sorry for shitty resolution.

You should update your guide, and you can use that screenshot, but I really recommend getting a better one yourself, as I'm playing on the lowest settings.
