Touche: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer is a classic third-person adventure game set in 16th Century France. You play as Geoffroi Le Brun, a musketeer in His Majesty's service, tasked with searching throughout France to track down the stolen will of the Comte d'Itee, William de Peuple.

Rouen

Talk to the wounded man, then talk to the beggar and trade your gold coin for a silver coin. Head inside the tavern and talk to the innkeeper, the beggar, the barmaid and the guys playing cards. Show your silver coin to the guys at the table, then threaten them and you will wake up the next day in your room upstairs. Examine the floor to find a hole, then search the hole to get 1 franc.

Leave your room and leave the tavern. Henri will talk to you - accept him as your manservant. Talk to him again and get him to pick up the body. Go down the street just to the right to find the church. Knock on the door and talk to the priest, who will give you a notice about the church renovations. Go left to the junk store and buy a souvenir for 1 franc. Head back to outside the tavern. Call up to the balcony on the right to talk to Juliette, then use your dagger on the rope to the left to get inside. Talk to Juliette again, then take the handkerchief before heading out through the window.

Continue right to the stables. Talk to the blacksmith. Take the horseshoe from the wall near the arch. Take the tongs from the left wall (Henri will pay for them). Try to leave through the archway, but you will need some transportation first.

Leave the stables to the left and enter the shop at the far left. Talk to the shop owner, then take the needle and thread. Go back outside and go into the large building with the blue door. Go in to see the captain. Talk to him then examine the bowl on his desk to get a melon. Examine the papers on his desk to find out he has lost a letter. Examine the rest of the papers until you get a blank sheet in your inventory. Use this on the candle to reveal the message. Now talk to the captain again to get a pass. Read the papers on the floor and you will take one with you.

Go back to the stables and talk to the blacksmith again. Agree to get on a coach, and head to St Quentin.

Traveller's Inn

You will stop along the way, so enter the hotel and talk to the innkeeper. After you wake up in the morning, give the church notice to the priest, then talk to him. Head outside and get back on the coach, going to Amiens.

Amiens

Take the pot on the left shelf in the stables to get some horse liniment. Leave the stables to the right and enter the far right building in town. Talk to the shop owner, then take some sandals from the floor and repair them with your needle and thread. Leave again, then go through the gate into the monastery. Open the door on the right, but you can't get inside unless you look like a monk. Go and take the washing from near the trough, then try to go inside again, but you need a better disguise. Take the soap from the wooden bucket here, then leave again. Go back through the stables to leave town.

St Quentin

Leave the stables to the left, then go to the church by clicking on the spire in the background. Take the cross from the table, then after the conversation take the candlestick from the table, followed by the altar cloth. Examine this in your inventory to take the candle off. Now leave the church.

Try to enter the tavern but you are blocked by the guards. Throw your melon in the river, then quickly enter the tavern while they are distracted. Talk to the customer on the far right then give him your handkerchief to get a poem. Next talk to the innkeeper, offer to help with his problem and buy a bottle for the officer. Go and talk to the officer about everything and you will be given a marked card. Leave and you will be given an old bottle.

Do this on all 3 doors until you find the assassin. Inside his room, examine the saddlebags to get a note, then use your sword on the pillow and you will get a will.

Go back through the stables to leave town and head towards Rouen.

Rouen

Leave the stables and visit the musketeers again. Talk to the men outside, then talk to the captain, then to the men outside again - you will shoot a gun and hope to break a souvenir from the shop outside the cathedral. Leave this building and outside on the ground pick up the hammer. Use the hammer on the ladder to break it. Pick up the broken ladder (you will just take the pole). Also use the hammer on your souvenir to break it. Go back in to the musketeers and give the broken souvenir to the teacher; you will get a certificate. Visit the captain again and show him the certificate, so you get a new pass. Leave the musketeers again.

Next enter the tavern. Go and examine the pot in the fireplace, then dip your altar cloth into it. Use your pole on Juliette's balcony to get inside. Give her your poem, then talk to her - now she wants flowers. Take the bottle from her sideboard before leaving through the window again.

Go back to the main street and enter the musketeer's headquarters (use your keys to unlock the door). Enter the captain's quarters and take the big blue flag, then leave again. Back at the street, head to the far left and you will see a man caught on top of a gate. Use your tongs to get the key on the ground behind the gate, then use the key to unlock the gate.

Go through the gate and talk to the man. When you reach the boat, use your flag on the mast, your coffin plate on the pipe, your stockings on the wheel, and your coals on the boiler. Now use the tap just above the old man's head. On the river, just right-click on the boat and use the big lever, then the oily lever twice, the red lever and finally the big lever again.

Open the door, and say "Henri, show the man our invitation" to get past the guard. Talk to Juliette and give her the potion. Examine the busts, then pick both of their noses, and a secret passage will be revealed. Use the sack in the corner and you will feed the crocodiles.
