Hallowed Legends: Templar
Platform: Mac, Windows
Ah, France... Hubert Keller, little animated rats, Les Misérables... oh, and the big angry Templar that just stormed in and sucker-punched you in your hotel room, of course. In Elephant Games' new hidden-object adventure Hallowed Legends: Templar, you fly in to France upon hearing your brother has gone missing, only to be ambushed before your investigation can really begin. You soon discover, however, it's not just one lunatic in a suit of stolen armor, and there might be something a lot bigger, and older, than you ever expected going on in town.
Hallowed Legends: Templar has three difficulty settings for those of you who prefer to tackle things easily or in a Bear Grylls-y fashion, and you can swap between them any time you wish by opening the options menu. You'll explore the town and the area around it searching for clues, gathering items and solving puzzles while trying not to cross paths with the knights you'll see prowling the area. The area has more than a few secrets, and there are quite a few people doing what they can to keep you from unraveling them.
Naturally, in addition to dodging attempts on your life, this also involves solving hidden-object scenes. Occasionally you may run into one of these where you have to use an item from your inventory to be able to get the item onscreen, so if you can't seem to collect something from the list and you're not carrying anything appropriate, you may have missed something you needed to pick up elsewhere in the town. Fortunately, once it's charged you can rely on the hint button to tell you explicitly what you need to do to proceed.
Analysis: For hidden-object adventures with real creativity and intrigue, Elephant Games is rapidly becoming the developer to beat. Hallowed Legends: Templar is a big, strange, engrossing game packed with strange characters, excitement, and even a bit of supernatural mysticism that sets it apart from other titles. Mixing recorded cutscenes featuring real people with beautifully drawn visuals and environments, it helps give the impression that you're in a movie. A slightly crazy movie best enjoyed with a big bucket of popcorn on the couch at three in the morning, but a movie nonetheless. The game is great at doling out tidbits of information that fill you in on what's happening, while events keep popping up to move the action along at a quick pace and keep you interested with new developments. The story itself is admittedly a little convoluted, but if you don't demand big, serious narratives and just want to enjoy yourself with something imaginative and different, this might be right up your alley.
Click detection is, unfortunately, rather temperamental; too quick and the game might not register it, and the place to click to pick up or use an item can sometimes be annoyingly small and precise. This can also factor into problems with hidden-object scenes, where the art style occasionally makes it difficult to tell what you're looking at. Are you clicking on the wrong item, or just in the wrong spot? Is that a candle, or a teacup? Then you also have a few instances of what might be called "muddy descriptions", such as "white chess piece" actually referring to something the stunted artist in me would call "orange-y beige-ish". None of this is game breaking, and it is something you become more adept at noticing the more you play, but it does feel like it interrupts the flow somewhat. It's also worth mentioning that some players (though not yours truly) have reported performance issues on different machines, so as always, make sure you try the demo before you buy.
Despite that, however, and a somewhat stiff written translation, Hallowed Legends: Templar is still easily recommended. It's over four hours on average, with another hour or more to play the bonus content, and throughout the game rarely feels like it's dragging its feet by trying to artificially extend the gameplay. It's silly, it's exciting, it's weird and imaginative, and it's just the thing to relax with when you're looking for something fun. Try the demo to dip your toe into it, and keep an eye out for runaway cars, crossbow bolts... and pungent cheese, which is just as dangerous. This is France, after all.
A Collector's Edition is also available. It contains a bonus chapter, art gallery, strategy guide, and more. Remember that Big Fish Game Club Members pay only $13.99 for Collector's Editions (or 2 club credits), and collector's editions count 3 card punches of 6 total needed for a free game.

Hallowed Legends: Templar walkthrough (complete)
General Information
Main Menu
From the main menu, you can view credits and options, quit the game, and view achievements.
Options include setting graphics, sound, and difficulty.
The center button lets you start a new game ("Play"), or continue an existing game ("Continue game"), depending on your profile.
Set a new profile if you want to start a new game, by clicking the name above the center button.
When you create a new profile, you can also choose between one of three difficulty modes. You can also switch the game mode at any time through the Options menu.
Casual mode features "sparkles" to indicate important clickable areas, plus faster recharge times for the Hint meter.
Advanced mode doesn't use sparkles and recharges the Hint meter more slowly.
Hardcore mode has no sparkles, hints, or puzzle skipping.
Gameplay
Your journal is in the bottom left corner. Click it to view a map with your current location, and to see the notes you collect throughout the game.
Your hint meter, if you have one, in in the lower right corner. In the normal game screen, click it to read a tip about what to do next. In a hidden-object scene, click it to see the location of one object. In a puzzle minigame, use it to skip the puzzle, once it charges.
Clicking the menu button in the lower-left corner will bring up the Options menu, which is identical to the Options menu in the Main menu. You can also return to the Main menu, where you can quit the game
You can view your inventory bar by hovering over the Inventory button, next to the Menu button. The items list for hidden-object scenes is in the same place, and you can switch between your items list and your inventory by clicking the tabs at the top of the bar.
Your cursor changes according to the context. An arrow means you can go to a new screen. A magnifying glass means you can take a closer look, or start a conversation with a character. A "grabbing" gauntlet means you can take an item. A gauntlet with gears means you can use an item from your inventory.
You will often need to complete hidden-object scenes to find a particular item for your inventory.
There is no click penalty. Click an item, and it will disappear if it is on your list.
If you click on the space between an item, it will not be selected, so make sure you are clicking on the item itself.
Items listed in orange require some special action to be found. Often this means combining some item on the screen with some other item. Look for the "grabbing" and "gear" cursors, and click on those spots for clues about what to do.
Other items listed in orange may require an item from your inventory to be found. Click over to your inventory to select the item and use it where it is needed. If you can't find such a hidden-object, it might mean you haven't found the inventory item it requires.

Start by putting ring 5 in position, then 1, then 3, then 4.
Put ring 2 in position by alternating between clicking ring 2 and ring 5. You may need to click ring 5 twice in a row on one occasion to get the two rings to align.
Solution
Use the Iron Amulet from the aquarium in the Restaurant to open the panel, then take the Crown Mask (Note that the place to put the Iron Amulet will only open if you got the Amulet before you solved this puzzle. If you did it out of order, you can "resolve" the puzzle by rotating the innermost ring 360 degrees).
Using the Masks
Go to the church square outside the Hotel (via the Back Entrance).
Zoom in on the statue you saw the Templar enter earlier.
Use the masks on each of the figures so they match: From left to right, use the Helmet Mask with the warrior, Crown Mask with the king, Mitre Mask with the patriarch, and Wreathed Mask with the orator.

Examine the safe in the back right of the room (it looks a bit like a television). Use the Badge from the victim in the dungeon entrance on the card swiper.
Solve the puzzle by lighting up all the lines. Do this by clicking one dot, then the next. The line in between will light up. Dots have to be connected in sequence.
There are a few ways to solve this puzzle. A good strategy is to start on top and trace halfway down the shield outline. Then trace the cross so you end up at the top of the emblem again, then complete the shield outline.
Solution part 1
Solution part 2
Solution part 3
Solution part 4
Take the Film reel from the open safe.
Turn on all the lamps above the desk. One will open the panel behind the painting. Examine it.
Take the key in the middle, which is the key to Room 12. Go back to the kitchen and up the ladder to the 2nd floor.
Room 12
Examine the door to the left and use the room key. Enter the door.
Examine the body laying on the hole through the roof. Click the tape machine to listen to his message, then take the Whistle from his hand.
Zoom in on the chest and take the Fireplace Poker sticking through it.
Click the raven that flies out of the chest, perched on the wardrobe. Use the Whistle to scare it away and get the Hacksaw.
Zoom in on the round puzzle on the back wall. Solve it by sliding the columns and rows until you complete the picture.
The best tip I can offer is to focus on one column at a time, and proceed carefully from left to right. Once you complete a column, you'll have to undo your work to complete other columns, but for the first several columns, it should be easy to restore your work by reversing some steps. Even so, I only solved the last few sections by persistent trial and error.
Screenshot
Take the Sword from the open panel.
Zoom in on the dresser below the window and complete the hidden-object scene for a Stone Eye.
Use the key with the desk drawer to get the Teapot.

Click on the body that emerges to take the note, then take the Revolver.
Zoom in on the big bomb in the hole in the sewer wall. Use the Screwdriver from the reception area on the screws.

Click the board game to play the game the madman offers you. The goal is to surround the madman's pink gamepiece with your green ones. It's similar to Chat Noir. Hint:
Start laying your pieces far away from the pink piece, focusing on the direction it moves. That way you have a chance to build a suitable barricade before it arrives.

Descend the well. Take the Shield.
Zoom in on the culvert to the left. Use the Forceps from the hospital room to bend the bars, then take the Right Lever.
Return to the hospital. Zoom in on the hanging safe and use the two Levers (from the carriage in the ruins and from the well) on either side. Play the minigame.
Use the arrows to move the chits from one section of the panel to the other. The goal is to get eight chits in the big left section and eight in the smaller lower-right section.
You only need to click the red arrows. Start by clicking the top red arrow, then the right red arrow.
Then click the top, right, bottom, and right red arrows, in that order. Repeat these four steps until the puzzle is solved (you will go through the cycle 3.5 times).
Zoom in on the open safe and take the Surgical Saw.
Go down the well again. Zoom in on the pirate skeleton and use the Saw on its arm to get the Pirate Seal.
Return to the abandoned storehouse. Zoom in on the chest and use the Pirate Seal to unlock it, then use the Drill from the carriage in the ruins to open it.
Use the Rope from the coffin in the ruins to tie the dynamite sticks together, then use the Timer from the chest in the sewer. Collect the now-functional Dynamite.
Go to the dungeon entrance. Look right and use the Dynamite with the sealed entrance.
Chapter 3: The Church
The Wild Garden
Go right to the church steps. Now that you have the Shield, you can proceed safely up the church steps to the churchyard.
Zoom in on the bench. Take the blade from the Scythe.
Zoom in on the roses behind the bench, to the left of the gate.
Untangle the vines to clear a path. Do this by clicking and dragging the flowers so the vines don't cross. Vines that do not cross other vines will become highlighted in yellow-green.
Solution
Go down the cleared path.
Zoom in on the pile of leaves to the right of the path. Click three times, then take the Inscription that you uncover.
Inside the Church—Getting the Grappling Hook
Go back to the churchyard and zoom in on the doors. Use the Inscription from the wild garden in its place below the doorway, then enter.
Go up the spiral stairs to the belfry. Zoom in on the basket of groceries below the work table and take the sack of Grain.

Go upstairs again. Zoom in on the jukebox for a series of minigames.
Trace the circuits from the numbers in top left corner to the switches. Flick the switches in numerical order.
From left to right, number the switches 1-6. Flick switches 5, 1, 6, and 3, in that order. Screenshot.
Use the red buttons in the corners of the screen to move the gold record to the red arrow. The right arrow moves 5 slots to the right, while the left arrow moves 7 slots to the left.
Screenshot
Clear the path of the record to the record player by pushing the buttons to depress the golden platforms. Trial and error will eventually clear the path.
Take the Punch Card.

It's a game of memory: click a portal, then another, and try to match the birds by species.
Each portal has two sets of birds: When you match the first bird in a portal, another will appear in its place. When you match the second bird, the portal closes.
The first six matches (numbering the portals 1-6 from left to right in the top row, and 7-12 in the bottom row):
1-5

The goal is set all the pieces in each scene in the proper way. Pulling the cord on the left shows you how the scene should look. Pull it again to work with the scene.
The top two buttons lower into each scene the props and characters, respectively.
Click on a prop or character to select it. The top lever moves the selected prop or character, while the middle lever rotates it.
The bottom lever changes the background. I recommend matching the background before hitting the top two buttons.
Make sure you not only have each prop and character in the right place, but also in the right location. Also, for the third scene, I found that I needed to switch the background, even though it looked like it was set properly.

Secret Museum Room
Go back outside and return to the front hall of the museum. Zoom in on the iron door to the left and use the Key from the portrait in the town hall.
Complete the minigame by clicking each triangular panel to rotate the colored stones around them.
The goal is to match the stones with the colored backgrounds. Focus on the corners first, then the middle sections, for the easiest solution.
Solution
Enter the open door. Zoom in on the skulls embedded in the back wall on the left side. Use the Ruby from the hidden-object scene in the "third eye" of the skull. Take the electronic Lockpick.
Leave the museum and go up the stairs to the town hall yard. Zoom in on the crashed helicopter to the left of the town hall building.
Use the Lockpick with the slot on the right. Complete the minigame by lighting all the squares.
This puzzle may be different from similar puzzles you have seen before, in that clicking a square will switch it and all the squares neighboring it, including the diagonal ones.
Two strategies for solving this: Either try to make a "single L" (e.g. light up the left column and bottom row, or the right column and top row), then clicking the middle of the unlit squares. Or, try to make a "double L" (e.g. light up the 2 bottom rows and 2 right columns), then click the one corner square that is unlit.
Click to open the hatch, then take the Golf Club.
Go back to the secret room in the museum. Zoom in on the fan in the ceiling and use the Golf Club to stop it.

Use all the Golden Signs (from the secret passage in the cafe, the hidden-object scene in the flooded streets, the hidden-object scene in the mayor's office, the riverbank at the dam, and the secret room in the museum) on the map to start a minigame.
Move the discs so they line up with the map. They will glow and lock into place when you have positioned them correctly.
Solution
Go through the secret door that opens. Take the Pickax from the corner of the platform you are standing on.
The Dam and the Altar
Go back to the flooded street, then to the top of the ruined dam.
Zoom in on the broken pipe and freeze the water with the Nitrogen from the iron maiden in the museum, if you haven't already. Then use the Pickax from the secret room in the mayor's office.
Zoom in on the pipe again and complete the hidden-object scene for a Wooden Statue.
Use the key with the bikelock, then drag the wheel to the Bicycle to fix it.
Use the glue with the Beermug to fix it.

He's got a gun! Use the Elephant (from the hidden-object scene in the museum) on the hook on the right.
Zoom in on the geared mechanical device on the far left side of the screen. Use the Wrench from the dam to activate the device.
Zoom in on the ark (the golden box). You need three wreaths. The first two you got from Carl in the mayor's office, and from the dam, after the madman attacked the other Templar.
If you haven't yet, go back to the cafe to get the third wreath. It's on the head of the fallen knight in the secret passageway. Zoom in, use the Anesthetic Gel, and take the Wreath (3/3).
Once you have all the Wreaths, return to the clocktower, zoom in on the ark, and use all three Wreaths. Watch the cutscene.
Zoom in on the broken window. Take the Bell.
Zoom in on the mechanical device with all the bells. Use the Bell with the empty space. Use the Clapper from the flooded floor of the restoration house with the big bell to fix it.
Complete the minigame by playing the "bell alarm" tune on the bells, using the score. Notes that are lower on the staff correspond to larger bells. When you play the right note, it will be crossed off on the score.
Solution
Watch the cutscene and finish the conversation with the officer. Take the Ark and go back to the crossroads (in front of the museum).
Finish the conversation with Balthazar, then give him the Ark (He seems trustworthy!).
