Imagia 2: The Dome
Imagia 2 picks up right where Imagia 1 left us, pointing and clicking our way around a mysterious rooftop, gathering clues about just what we're trying to accomplish in the first place. If you were hoping for answers in this sequel from Kayzerfish, I'm afraid we're still in questions without answers mode. You know, like the first season of Lost, only no smoke monster. The observant player, however, should gather enough to seriously pique curiosity and we can only hope subsequent chapters will follow close behind.

I escaped and apparently found one of six secrets. I felt like I was lucky in finding an ending. Plus I want to find the other five secrets. I'll play it again but I feel like the first one made more intuitive sense.
I'm loving this major escape game week - three already so far! I'd read a site entirely made of escape games, really.
Also, three of six secrets, but I only actually know what two of the secrets were.
totally stuck on this one.
I have
- the frame stand with 4 pieces in it (missing top-left and bottom-right pieces)
- Sketches 1, 2 and 3
- 3/4 of snippets 1
- 1/2 of snippets 2
- a crank that I've placed in the model in the center
- a rope that I've hung from the railing by the feathers
I've tried
looking through the hole in the roof (down the rope) with the crank at each position.
No idea where to go from here... any help would be appreciated.
How did everybody else get out so easily? I'm completely stuck!
I've found all four pieces of Snippets 1, and only the topmost piece of Snippets 2 (and I've already opened the secret compartment its hint was about). I've also got Sketches 1, 2, and 3. I've found and used the rope, crank, and crystal key, and I've figured out where the frame belongs. I've also placed a white, blue, and green piece in the frame.
To boot, I've found a gold florin, but I think it's just one of the secrets.
when you go down the rope...
you can go to the right at the bottom of the rope
Heh, I managed to guess
the combo to the second archway compartment. I think it was
bottom-left, bottom-right, top
Wow, thanks mike_311. That was not obvious!
Okay, I'm very lost...
Where is the crystal key at?
I think I have everything else figured out with what I have.
0 of 6 secrets but at least I finished!
SonicLover:
It sounds like you need to find the rest of the pieces for the frame. Mostly you just have to pixel-hunt, but one of them is
in the second archway compartment
.
I assume the combo for the second archway compartment is on the bottom half of snippets 2, but I just ended up guessing it -- There are only 60 possible 3-petal combos :).
Power of posting, nevermind
i can't find the
key either, it seems there are two more compartments to open, but i cant figure it it
I also cannot find the crystal key. I am guessing that I need to find clues to the other two archway compartments and that it will be in one of those. I've been trying to work out some connection between the symbols and the "flower" combinations to open the remaining two, but no luck.
hyperbox
Nope, but you should try rotating the crank. What have you noticed that changes when you do that?
That symbol on the floor
Can't find the last fragment for the frame: I'm missing the bottom-left piece. Please, help!
Can anyone give me a hint on the significance of the
coin?
Missing bottom left piece of picture. Help!
I cant find the lower left inlay piece, any ideas?
Here are the secrets I have found so far.
Secret 1
Click on the bottom of the crystal key compartment.
Secret 2
One of the small round windows on the church model, second from the dome.
Secret 3
The window to the left at the bottom of the rope, click near the top edge when soomed in.
Found it (the bottom left picture piece)!
Southern-bay, on the floor in the right arch.
That finished the game for me.
I had two of six secrets.
Zoom in twice on one of the windows of the model.
Does anyone have any of the others?
Question about the codes for the flower puzzles:
I've gotten 2 of them based on the two-sheet puzzle, but I can't open the others. Does turning the crank to move the symbols alter what codes will fit into those flowers, or are they independent of the symbol turns? I've tried aligning the remaining flower sections with one of the two symbols that have codes, but that doesn't work. I'm so confused.
The bottom left tile is
on the screen with the rope
in the bottom of the doorway on the arch on the far right
I had a heck of a time finding it too.
The key is
under the floor tile on the screen where you have the rope. To open it try
rotating the handle on the model. Be sure to
study the chart with the symbols and the sun.
Hi everyone, I intended to be here earlier, but had computer issues.
@Ainy:
You only need to open up two areas with the flower clues.
@JIGuest:
The coin is a "secret", which is a bonus at the end of the game. It does not provide any clue.
Amy
Turning the crank does NOT move the symbols in the sense you're thinking of. If you've completed Snippets 1, it is a map of the symbols. The symbols for each "room" are fixed, in a sense. I'm not sure how to get those open, either. I feel like it might be a red herring, though.
@Will:
There are two things that can be opened using the two clues in snippets 2. If you've completed snippets 1, use the map to determine which room is which symbol. Here's one more hint:
Press the petals of the stone flower.
Also @Amy (sorry for misreading your name before):
The crank is used to open something, but it's something on the floor.
Specifically, the manhole on the floor of the 6:00 position.
Specifically, turn the crank so that the end is pointing straight left, then go to the 6:00 position and click on the floor.
Secrets
Window in the church
Click where you found the crystal key
the first round window you see when you go down the rope
check the back of all your pieces of paper
Amy; I think the two compartments are the only ones you can open. I could be wrong though, might be a secret in one of the others.
Imagia 2 Walkthrough
Staying on the Surface
-
Go through the doorway on the right, into the center.
-
Pick up the rope which is hanging over the beam at the 1:30 position (if you imagine the beam farthest from you as the 12:00 position on a clock).
-
Pick up the tiny blue piece of glass (an inlay part) at the extreme right of the screen.
-
Go to the sunny, 10:30 beam exit.
-
Pick up the sketch 1 which is lying against the wall.
-
Examine the sketch. Click the lower right corner for a secret, then back out.
-
Go forward to the 12:00 position. Pick up a piece of snippets 1 from the lower left hand corner.
-
Go right to the 1:30 position. Pick up another piece of snippets 1 from between the pillars. Pick up sketch 2 from the left side of the screen.
-
Examine sketch 2 and click the upper left corner for a secret, then back out.
-
Go down twice to the 4:30 position. Pick up the frame from the railing, sketch 3 from the lower left, and two inlay parts. One is at the corner of the inner pillar and the wall, and one is at the bottom of the outer pillar.
-
Examine sketch 3 and click the lower left corner for a secret, then back out.
Delving Deeper
-
Go to the 6:00 position. Pick up a piece of snippets 2 on the left. Pick up a green inlay piece on the right.
-
Use the rope on the railing.
-
Climb down the rope, down again, and down one more time.
-
Click on the window to zoom in. It's subtle, but there is a pale symbol on the top of the window. Click on it to find another secret, then back out.
-
Click on the right side to get to the bird's nest area. Pick up a green inlay part, another piece of snippets 2 and another piece of snippets 1.
-
Go back up to the top and go to the center. Pick up the last piece of snippets 1 and examine the tiny round window second from the left for another secret.
Solving the Puzzles
-
Now it's time to start deducing from clues. Snippets 1 is now complete, and it applies symbols to the sides of the tower, with the solid circle being the sun side of the tower.
From that, you can deduce which symbol is supposed to be which side. -
The white diamond inside a circle on the first part of snippets 2 therefore is the 9:00 position. Go there and press the petals on the flower according to snippets 2. Take the crank.
-
The other half of snippets 2 is a white triangle inside a square. This applies to the 3:00 position. Go there and press the petals in the right order to get another inlay piece and a prism.
-
Go to the center and use the crank on the hole on the right side of the model. Note the symbols on the base of the model. Turn the crank so that it is pointed to the left and the symbol facing you is the white triangle in a circle.
-
Go down to the 6:00 position and Click on the manhole in the center. The manhole lid has been removed, revealing a crystal key. Take it and also click on the bottom of the hole to remove the false bottom and take a gold florin.
-
Back out and examine the florin for another secret.
-
Now, follow the clues in sketches one, two and three to know where to place the prism, key, and frame with inlay pieces.
-
First, the prism goes on the sun side, that's pretty obvious and made explicit in sketch 3.
-
Next, go to the twilight side in the 1:30 position, the black triangle side, deduced from sketches 1 and 2. Place the frame on the railing, and use the inlay pieces on the frame.
-
Finally, go to the center and use the crystal key on the top of the dome of the model. Then, click on the key to turn it until a beam of light is reflected towards the 1:30 side.
-
Go to the 1:30 side. The frame is now lit up by the beam. Click on it to complete the game.
The Six Secrets

Augh, joye. I almost had mine finished, too. Yours seems a bit (read: lot) easier to follow, though.
Did you
Find any reason why the manhole is open at white triangle in a shaded circle? It seems a bit arbitrary to me.
@wlangford:
I think it's because the white triangle in the shaded circle looks like an open hole. But to be perfectly honest, I figured it out through trial and error. I noticed that the symbol on the manhole cover changed every time I turned the crank, and I figured one of them MUST be the right answer, so I just kept cranking and checking until something happened.
Maybe it's just me, but the only way I can see spoilers now is to first post a comment... So, sorry!

It really bugs me when the mysterious "secrets" add up to nothing but cursor-hunt drawings, and not anything that adds to an actual pay-off.
Okay, I've done everything, but it's not completing the game, Any ideas?
@chel
try turning the key on top of dome so that the light splays 3 ways, with the bottom one directly due south, then go to frame and click. Thanks very much to joye for the walkthrough, would never have made it through.
Accidental discovery:
I managed to make the game "end" accidentally the first time by placing the frame not on the pole where it's lit up by the beam but on the bent pole where the frame is originally found, and then clicking on the hole in the back of the frame.
On the one hand it seems odd, but on the other hand it makes me wish that the game was longer and each method took you to a different location.
You can tell the game developer listened to the previous "complaints" from Imagia1. Having the cursor change over hotspots and having better direction and manipulation over the inventory items is a step up from the first one! :)
Sorry, but, what audio clue? Maybe you are referring to the
pigeon cooing?
Lovely game. I could not find one of the inlay parts. There were supposed to be 6. I only found 5. So I could not complete the game. But very nice in spite of me.
Ah Ha! Thank you for the hint on the bottom left side piece. Completed the game.
having a little trouble starting this game.
the walkthrough says to go right then click center door where you find a rope. i don't see one. what am i doing wrong?
please help.
Paul:
The rope is in the room in the center of the tower, where the model building is. Does that help?
Fun game!
I'm missing the upper left corner of snippets 1 and I think I might be missing a piece of the inlay in the frame?
I have 2 pale blue (top left & right), 1 white (middle), one medium blue one (middle right) dark green (lower left), one lighter green (lower right).
Help!
Had to resort to the walkthrough for this one,
I'm still not sure how you were supposed to figure out how to open the manhole. Nothing in the clues provided seem to point to that solution
That was a bit of a black mark on what was otherwise a very solid game.
I agree, can someone please explain why
we were supposed to turn the crank so the white triangle in a circle is facing us? i assumed it had to be turned to the orientation shown in sketch 1, which has the white diamond in a square facing you. Was there a clue somewhere that showed us how to turn it? I did notice the picture in the manhole cover was inverted, maybe that had something to do with it?
Anyway, other than that, and how hard it was to find that lower left inlay piece, great game :)
The manhole/dome table symbols were indeed wrong (a few steps offset)!
You, teagirl and Cinderflame, were exactly right! Thanks to you lovely people we could find and fix this bug... - thanks a lot and sincere apologies!
i cant find the lower left picture piece any help?
I can't find the upper right picture piece. :\
