1. Intro
===============
Hi there, my name is forweg, and I adore Killer 7.
This is, obviously, a guide to the puzzles in the game. Now, in Killer 7,
most of the puzzles aren't incredibly difficult. However, a few here and
there can be mildly challenging. So, hopefully this will be helpful to
someone out there.
To be blatantly honest, however, the main reason I am making this guide, is
this: I've never submitted a guide to GameFAQs, and I would like to start
with something fairly short and easy. I wouldn't want to write a massive
walkthrough and have it rejected because of some formatting error I don't
understand and can't correct.
Oh, one more thing: Feel free to e-mail me and correct anything in this
guide, from a minor typo to a huge error.
=====================
2. Angel Puzzles
=====================
---------------------
2.1 Candle Puzzle
---------------------
Location: Celtic Building, 2nd Floor, Room 212
Firstly, be sure you've already gotten the Fire Ring from Susie in the
laundry mat. Now, before you examine the candles, make sure the air
conditioning is off. Equip the Fire Ring if you haven't already, and examine
the candles. On normal mode, you will see numbers below the candles. On the
harder modes, you'll see a certain number of rungs below each candle
signifying a number. Light the candles in order from 1 to 5, which is:
1. Candle second from left
2. Left-most candle
3. Right-most candle
4. Center candle
5. Candle second from right
If you mess up, just turn the air condition on, turn it back off, and start
anew.
------------------------
2.2 Sprinkler Puzzle
------------------------
Location: Celtic Building, 3rd Floor, Restroom
This one couldn't be more simple. Examine the sprinkler with the Fire Ring
equipped. When the sprinkler turns on, flush the toilet. Go down to the
laundry mat and grab the Odd Engraving.
---------------------------
2.3 Bloody Letters Puzzle
---------------------------
Location: Celtic Building, 4th Floor, Boiler Room Door
Another simple one. In the hallway near the door with the lock, a Heaven
Smile will crash into the wall, creating bloody letters. Stand in front
of them with KAEDE and press the Y button. The letters "N" and "O" will
remain. Obviously, enter "NO" into the lock.
===========================
3. Sunset, Part 1 Puzzles
===========================
-------------------
3.1 Vase Puzzle
-------------------
Location: Fukushima, Hallway, Guestroom
Make sure you got the Water Ring earlier in the level and equip it. Examine
the vase. The picture will change. Examine the picture and grab the Odd
Engraving.
---------------------
3.2 Feng Shui Puzzle
---------------------
Location: Fukushima, Annex
Read the sign outside of the main area, and you'll see four symbols pointing
in four different directions. These correlate to the four small houses. You
must close the door in each of the houses that correspond with the signs on
the map. Close the following:
South House: Red Phoenix
East House: Azure Dragon
North House: Black Warrior
West House: White Tiger
==========================
4. Sunset, Part 2 Puzzles
==========================
---------------------------
4.1 Vending Machine Puzzle
---------------------------
Location: The Kaku Building, Outside, Vending Machine
When you examine the car at the beginning of this level you'll see three
initials: BTJ, CSC, and WTS. When you get to the vending machine, you'll
see what this means. Buy:
Bloody Tomato Juice
Creamy Southern Coffee
Wild vegetable Tempura Soup
-----------------
4.2 Dice Puzzle
-----------------
Location: The Kaku Building, 1st Floor, Room 105
Go into the Manager's Room and open the Control Panel with Coyote. Turn it
off. Look at the poster on the wall. You'll see a woman holding a pair of
dice with ones facing out. Go into Room 105 and examine the dice. Keep
rolling them until you get two ones. This can get a bit annoying, but it
shouldn't take too long
-----------------
4.3 Cards Puzzle
-----------------
Location: The Kaku Building, 2nd Floor
Go into Room 207 and you'll see a picture portraying a straight flush. Go
into the room at the end of the hall and there will be real cards there.
What's the only hand that beats a straight flush? A royal flush. Take away
the nine to make it happen.
-------------------
4.4 Horses Puzzle
-------------------
Location: The Kaku Building, 3rd Floor
Go into the room near the entrance and examine the poster to see a horse
race, with each horse having a number. Go into the room near the end of the
hall and examine the (miniature) horse race. Place the horses in the order
they are depicted in the picture, which is:
1. 1
2. 4
3. 3
4. 7
5. 6
6. 2
7. 5
------------------
4.5 Bikini Puzzle
------------------
Location: The Kaku Building, 4th Floor
I'm honestly not even sure how to do this one myself. It obviously has
something to do with the posters of girls in bikinis, but I don't exactly
know how to piece it together. It's very easy to guess at, however, so here
is the solution:
(I think they must be done in this order, too.)
Upper Cards: 2
Right Cards: 3
Left Cards: 2
FB writes in to explain this puzzle further:
"The Puzzle you have labled as "Bikini Puzzle" is also known as the "Beer
Card Puzzle" (apparently, the posters are beer advertisements). They key is
that each poster has an animal and a plant on it. They can be done in any
order in the room with the actual beer cards. The matchups are as follows:
Deer = Maple Leaves, Boar (looks kinda like a fish, to me) = Rounded Leaves
(I'm unsure of the plant species), and Butterfly = Rose."
I thank FB for providing this info.
=====================
5. Cloudman Puzzles
=====================
------------------
5.1 Hustle Puzzle
------------------
Location: Ulmeyda Intercity, Main Street 1, Gate
If you talk to Travis at the gas station, his shirt will say "HUSTLE". This
is what must be entered into the lock at the gate.
-------------------
5.2 Ulmeyda Puzzle
-------------------
Location: Ulmeyda Intercity, Mountain Path, First Life Gate
The gate asks trivia questions based on the Ulmeyda posters on the mountain
path. You should probably try it yourself before coming here for help, but
if you need the answers, here they are:
1. 3 People
2. 4
3. Purple
4. Texas Bronco
5. A Perfect City
6. 6
7. Suit
There isn't anything in the first Encounter that I consider a puzzle, so on
to...
============================
6. Encounter, Part 2 Puzzles
============================
----------------
6.1 Cars Puzzle
----------------
Location: Blackburn Residence, Courtyard, Garage
The picture shows that the empty space needs to be in the right-center
position. So pull the lever 2 times left and 1 time down for the solution.
Alter Ego doesn't have any puzzles either, so we skip to...
=========================
7. Smile, Part 1 Puzzles
=========================
----------------------------
7.1 Electric Bathtub Puzzle
----------------------------
Location: Hotel Union, 3rd Floor, Bathroom
This one probably shouldn't even really count as a "puzzle", but eh, I'll
include it anyway. Switch to Kevin Smith. Shoot (with knives, of course) the
shiny cord. That's it.
=========================
8. Smile, Part 2 Puzzles
=========================
------------------
8.1 Robots Puzzle
------------------
Location: Coburn Elementary School, School Entrance, Data Room
The robot drawings around the room each have a certain number of robots on
them. Look closely at the robots. Now, examine the control panel, and you'll
see a symbol corresponds with a robot in each drawing. Match up the symbols
with the correct number of robots. The solution is: 3576
---------------------
8.2 Two Codes Puzzle
---------------------
Location: Coburn Elementary School, Principal's Office, Operation Panel
If you listen to all those cassette tapes you've been collecting, Holbert
(Hulbert?) will simply tell you the two codes. They are:
1. 55549
2. 72712
------------------
8.3 Emir's Puzzle
------------------
Location: Coburn Elementary School, School Entrance, Data Room
Once again, Holbert/Hulbert will tell you the answer to all of these on the
tapes (with one exception, see below). Here they are:
1. Parkreiner
2. 00480158
3. Alabama
4. 11221942
5. B
6. Michael
7. Katharine
8. 04281952
9. Eagle
FB points this out:
"Emir's blood type is never mentioned directly on the tapes (we're
apparenlty expected to know what the mention of his folks' bloodtypes
means)."
Yep, that's true, I forgot about that.

Yay! My first completed FAQ! Thanks for reading.

minor. General comments and criticism are welcome as well.
Please DO NOT send me:
-Extremely stupid flames ("ur gide sux u r looser")
-Spam or viruses

-Asking for help for something that is already clearly covered in the FAQ
Make the title something like "Killer 7 Puzzle FAQ" so I'll know it's not
spam.
And yes, I do realize my e-mail address is misspelled. I've known it for
three and a half years. I don't care. I'm not gonna change it now.
====================
10. Version History
====================
Version 0.40, 11/6/06: I started the FAQ and completed the Intro, Angel, and
both Sunsets. I've worked on this for over seven straight hours today, and
I'm not even halfway done. It's been much, much harder than I expected.
Hopefully I'll be able to finish it in the next two or three days.
Version 1.00, 11/6/06: It's the same date, but about twenty hours later. The
entire guide is finished. Again, this thing was way more difficult than I
expected. Maybe next time I'll try something a bit bigger, like a full
walkthrough. If everything goes smoothly, this should appear on GameFAQs
within the next few days.
Version 1.01, 11/8/06, 12:05 AM: Added the Credits section and added info on
what sites can host this FAQ.
Version 1.02, 11/8/06, 7:50 PM: The solution to the "Bikini Puzzle" was
incorrect. I fixed it.
Version 1.03, 12/21/06, 2:52 AM: Added some info provided by FB. This is the
first useful e-mail I've ever received for one of my FAQs.
