I was doing what the solution guide says, earlier i sharpen the axe, clean the bottle and filled it with anger tears, later at the end before i enter the tomb, i put the robe on, in tomb follow the acolytes, when waiting for the discovery of the main acolyte that turns out to be my father, i hit him with the axe. Now here's where the frustration begins, i remove the cork from the bottle and i try to pour water on the devil bunch of the times as fast as i can, but it always seems that the other acolytes have me pin down, i even try a few different solutions like remove the cork from the bottler before following, but still didn't work. I don' what the deal is, if anyone has any ideas or ways, or questions , please do let me know! Thank you very much. Jason

You don't have to unplug it, just type in: "hit devil with bottle" after you killed the chief acolyte.

I'm afraid it did the same thing!

I'm actually having this same exact problem and it's driving me crazy. No combination of words kills the devil, and I keep getting killed. It's driving me crazy. Does anyone know what's wrong? I followed this guide here precisely:

Necro post, but it is relevant to the problem. I'm leaving it here for future reference:

A watched a LP on youtube, and it could be a combination of two problems:

1. You might have to write “throw bottle at devil”
2. There might be a problem with the dos version. The youtuber used a save file from the Amiga version that he found on the internet to finish the game.

Quote:

BigRouch: ‘Haha I cannot believe "throw" worked but "pour" did not! Well done for finally cracking it - it was great fun to watch and finally I can put that childhood memory to rest...!’
LowResHero: ‘Actually it was way more complicated than that. It involved an Amiga save state...the dos version apparently is bugged.’

The DOS version seems inferior in many ways. Perhaps GOG could use ScummVM to run the ST or Amiga version instead. Then again, those versions don't support day / night transitions unfortunately.

I know I'm super late, but I figured out what the problem is here. When you're filling the bottle with the tears from the angel statue, you need to PUT THE CORK IN THE BOTTLE first, and then FILL THE BOTTLE WITH THE TEARS. It's illogical, makes no sense, you should do it in the other order, but if you cork it first, then fill the bottle with tears (assuming you cleaned it already), you can follow the rest of the steps to the guide and you'll finish the game. This took me way too long to figure out, and I'm assuming it's a bug with the DOS version of the game sold here at GOG, but I haven't confirmed by trying other versions.

The secret to finish the game is "PUT THE TEARS IN THE BOTTLE" and not "FILL THE BOTTLE WITH TEARS". Proven personally with DOS and amiga versions. I also used "kill dad with axe" and "hit devil with bottle". Have fun! ;)
