Tricky Story Level 219 – Help Cece Persuade the Duke

Overview

Looking for the solution? Follow this guide to beat the stage without guesswork.

Your objective: Help Cece find items to persuade the Duke.

Welcome to Tricky Story: Story 3 Level 4! Cece (the white-haired girl in the red dress on the right) has come to the Duke's dignified study. The Duke (the gray-bearded man sitting upright on the left) has a cold expression and a very tough attitude. To achieve cooperation, Cece must find 8 core key props or hidden clues in the study that can completely move and persuade the Duke. This level's core mechanism is action counter mode (0/8). You need to conduct a carpet-style physical investigation of the double-layer tea cart, vintage gramophone cabinet, tasseled cushion on the floor, huge classical bookshelf, and wall badges in the room.

Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Here's the complete solution. Follow these 8 steps in order — each one is a concrete action you take on screen.

1. Check the thick parchment scrolls on the large desk (Progress 1/8): Click the thick stack of parchment old scrolls tied with rope on the Duke's right hand side to unfold the first agreement.
2. Move the silver carved teapot on the tea cart (Progress 2/8): Press and hold the silver carved teapot on the top layer of the double-layer wooden tea cart and move it to the right onto the desk surface.
3. Ring the golden hand bell on the cart (Progress 3/8): After moving the teapot, click the golden hand bell exposed on the cart. Tap the bell 2 times to make it ring clearly, awakening hidden layers.
4. Lift the tasseled embroidered cushion on the marble floor (Progress 4/8): Click and drag upward the square golden tasseled embroidered cushion in the center of the marble floor to expose the ancient family seal key hidden underneath.
5. Turn on the vintage horn gramophone (Progress 5/8): Click the golden horn vintage gramophone on the wooden high cabinet on the left. Turn its side crank to make the vinyl record start rotating, playing a soothing classical symphony.
6. Search for the misaligned book on the huge bookshelf (Progress 6/8): Notice the middle layer of the tall bookshelf on the right. Among a row of neat brown books, there is a special hardcover ancient book flashing with faint blue light. Click this special book to pop it forward, exposing the hidden compartment behind the bookshelf.
7. Extract the black vinyl record below the golden lion badge (Progress 7/8): Look at the high wall on the right. Below the golden lion shield badge hangs a black vinyl record decoration. Click the record to take it down and precisely drag it into the slot below the large horn of the rotating gramophone on the left to change the music band.
8. Hand the Ashford highest trust covenant to the Duke (Progress 8/8): When music, scrolls, seals, and records are all activated (progress reaches 7/8), a scroll tied with a red ribbon will drop from the bookshelf secret compartment. Press and hold this covenant and drag it directly to the contemplating Duke. The Duke's face changes dramatically, he slaps the table and agrees to all of Cece's conditions (progress reaches 8/8), persuasion successful!

Pro Tips

Use these tips to make things easier — they cover the common traps and fastest route through.

• Dual-hand speed flow: Clicking the parchment scrolls and moving the silver teapot are parallel actions at the start. Use both thumbs simultaneously to save 4 seconds.
• Strict logic sequence: The highest covenant (Step 8) is the final winning flaw. You must first complete Step 6 to open the special blue light book and ensure Step 7 has connected the vinyl record with the gramophone before the file drops.
