Tier 1:

Objective:  Confront The Spirit That Weighs On Sophie

Well, unless you’ve been leveling up your ‘Spirit Speak’ skill,  (OOOooOoOoooOOOooOoo  100 points if you know what I’m talking about!  Beware, a correct answer will show your age!)   Or you’ve some how spec’d your character as a ‘Spirit Medium’ you’re going to need to find a way to commune with the dead.

What better way to accomplish that goal, than by dying!

Go ahead and  ’ /reset ‘ yourself, or go out front and find something dangerous and give it a hug.

Objective:  Check Out The Ghost Hovering Around Sophie. 

It kind of goes without saying that as a ghost, return to the bar.  Approach and you should hear the Ghost speak.   If not, you should also get a visual on your screen of what he’s saying.  Try to pay attention to this, if nothing else, walk out and back in to get the ghost to repeat …  ”Ioan Patrascu” – Your first major clue.

After that, it’s time to resurrect and get on to clue hunting.

Objective:  Search For More Information On The Haunting.

First order of business, let’s see who’s staying in the rooms.   Click the Guest Register behind Sophie.

Ioan Patrascu – Room #1, head up stairs, first door on the right.

In the room, you’ll find a laptop, some Bingo soda, and some papers.

First item is to investigate the “Hand Written Note”

ROMANIAN

Mihail sasu a fost gasit mort, spanzurat de gat.  a fost chemat un comisar de politie de la cluj. Nu asa merg lucrurile in harbaburesti.  spune-i patrascu numai ceea ce trebuie spus si da-i viteza.  Dupa aceea o sa ne ocupam de treaba asta asa cum stim noi.  De vreme ce spiritul bietului baiat se tot invarte pe aici, i-am putea intreba ce isi aminteste.  Daca este tulburat, ii vom aduce pacea.  Daca arata cu degetul, vom face dreptate.

ENGLISH

Mihail Sassu was found dead, hanged. A police inspector was called from Cluj. Things don’t work like this in Harbarburesti. Tell Patrashcu only what he need to know and leave asap. After that wi’ll take care of things, our way. As long as the poor boy’s spirit is still around, we should ask him what he remembers. If he’s troubled, will bring him peace, if he points with his finger, will do him justice.

After looking at the note, then turn around and Investigate the laptop.

**IGNORE THE “SEARCH BY EVIDENCE” OPTION FOR NOW**

On the laptop, we can query various things… So let’s find out about Ioan Patrascu.  Type ‘ Ioan Patrascu ‘ in the query.

You’ll get a report about an investigation regarding “Mihail Sasu”

Type ‘ Mihail Sasu ‘ in the query.

After doing that, you should get a quest update…

There are some importan clues here, but the main take away is where his body was discovered:
Coordinates (1000 , 695).   Time to head out!

Tier 2

Objective:  Go to the Initial Crime Scene 

Head out to the Coordinates (1000 , 695)

Objective: Investigate The Crime Scene

For a clue, Volaric, with his eagerness to die, killed himself and noticed that a Ghost was patrolling the area.   If you follow the Ghost closely, you’ll notice he slows down and stops at certain points.  That’s about as much of a clue as you’re given to figure this out.

There is a cellphone on the ground, directly behind Mihail.  Seek the blood splatter on the wall directly behind him.

Investigate the cell phone. 

Once you pick up the cellphone, it will create an item in your inventory.  Use the cellphone in your inventory. 

ROMANIAN
Minute expirate.
Acume e in mainile tale. Cauta.

ENGLISH (almost..)

Objective:  Continue Investigating The Crime Scene

Look down, if not I swear I’ll haunt you forever

This is located behind Mihail, past the cellphone look on the ground along the rocks.

ROMANIAN

Sophie,

Noaptea tarziu, cand dormi, spiritele vorbese prin gura ta. Nu vorbesc despre lucruri bune. Asemenea orori nu-si au locul pe chipul tau dulce. Haide sa fugim impreuna. Departe de secretele acestui oras si de aceasta vale a stafiilor.
Am lucrat pe campul Olaru in acest week-end, alaturi de parintii tai. Ma plac suficient de mult. Nu am indraznit sa le spun ca sper sa te rapesc.
Vina la ferma cu mine, duminica. Pot fi curajos. Le voi Spune despre viitorul pe care vreau sa-I construiesc Alaturi de tine, la oras. Nu vrei sa vii?
Mihail.

ENGLISH (sort of…)

Sophie,

When you sleep late at night the spirits talk through your mouth. They don’t say nice things. Such horrors should not be coming from you, from your sweet face. Let’s run together far from the secrets of this town and from this valley of ghosts. I worked on Olaru’s land this weekend, along with your parents. They like me pretty well. I didn’t have the courage to tell them that I hope I’ll kidnap you. Come with me to the farm, Sunday. I can be brave. I’ll tell them I want to build our future together in the town, Do you want to come?

ROMANIAN

Am stiut intotdeauna ca salbaticia o inbeste. Spiritele se asaza in jurul ei precum cainii langa foc. Insa anul acesta, cand a condus paparuda, mi-am dat seamu ca si en o inbesc.
Am gasit scrisorile fratelui meu. Scrisori catre ea. Chiar trebuie oare sa ne intrecem la toate? Atunci asa sa fie – Si fie ca cel mai bun dintre noi sa-i afle numele adevara.
Lumina din ochii ei a stralucit pentru o Clipa, apoi a pierit. A incercat s-o ascunda, insa am stiut. M-a luat drept el. L-a ales pe el.
Daca eu nu o pot avea, de ce sa o aiba el?
Nu asa mi-am inchipuit eu de-loc nu mi-am inchipuit asa. Sa ma intorc singur de pe podul indragostitilor. Sa ma intorc criminal.
Pasarile negre se strang la fereastra mea. Daca adorm, o sa-mi scoata ochii.
A venit un politist de la oras. Pasarile negre mi-au spus-o in clipocitul apei din uluci.
Razand ca tevile de scurgere, azi-noupte, in-au dus la ferma. pacatuiesc iar si iar. im are un gust sarat, ci dulce. Dulce ca otrava de soboiani.
daca eu nu o pot avea, de ce sa o aiba altcineva?
Politistul stie ca eu am fost. Se joaca cu mine asa cum o pasare neagra incoiteste sarmanul miel. nu va muri in somn, ca ceilalti.
Bolboroselile intunericului, iuresul iubitilor si fratilor morti. Imi spune sa aduc politistul. Adu-l acolo unde a inceput ura mea.

ENGLISH 

I always knew she loves wilderness. The spirits hover around her like a dog around a fire. Sadly, I realized this year that I also love her. I found my brother’s letters to her. Do we really have to compete for everything? So be it. The best amongst us should find her real name. For a moment there was a shining light in her eyes . It disappeared after a while. She tried to hide it, but I knew. She took me for him (my brother?) She chose him. If I can’t have her, why should he? I never ever believed this was possible. To return alone from the lovers bridge. To return as a criminal. The black birds fly towards my window. If I sleep they will pluck my eyes. A policeman care from the town. The black birds told me. Tonight at the farm..I have sinned again..it gave me a sweet and sour taste… weet as rat poison, If I can’t have her why would anybody else? The policeman knows it was me. He plays with me, like a eagle around his prey. He’s not going to die sleeping, like the others. The darkness mutterings, the lovers and dead brothers’ excitement, tells me to bring the cop. Bring him where my hatred started.

After reading the notebook, the mission will update once more …

Objective:  Locate The Corpse Of Ioan Patrascu

Trying to make sense of the poor Google Translation, we arrived at a few clues, but took us a bit to actually discover that the main clues to focus on from the translation are… “Get back on the bridge …”  BRIDGE being the key.

We found Mr. Patrascu located under the bridge at Coordinates: (943 , 794)

Once you inspect him, your final mission update…

Objective: ”Kill the Herald of Hatred” 

Note:  We welcome any translation from people who can actually translate the text used in the mission.   Some times Google Translator just doesn’t get it!   Let us know in the comments below.
