Art of Murder 2: Hunt for the Puppeteer Hints

How can I calculate the route through the catacombs?

  • 1 of 15: This one's a little tricky.
  • 2 of 15: You're going to need two separate artifacts to interact with the map.
  • 3 of 15: Once you have the dagger and the key, and the map is held back together, you can work out your route.
  • 4 of 15: Use the key first. Place it on the map and see where you might wanna position it.
  • 5 of 15: The handle of the key sure looks like that red symbol on the middle of the map, doesn't it?
  • 6 of 15: Position the handle of the key over it, and Nicole will remark that it's positioned properly.
  • 7 of 15: You can now right click the key to rotate it. Try to align the distinctly-shaped handle with areas on the map underneath so that they too match up.
  • 8 of 15: You need to position the key facing directly upwards, and then face it 90 degrees to the left. 12 o'clock, then 9 o'clock.
  • 9 of 15: Next, add the dagger to the mix. Use its central point with the same place on the map, and angle it to find the direction.
  • 10 of 15: The blade needs to be pointed to approximately 11 o'clock.
  • 11 of 15: We now need to move the key's handle to a NEW anchoring point.
  • 12 of 15: The anchoring point is not related to the map... it's related to the dagger.
  • 13 of 15: Use the key's handle with the small notch on the hilt of the dagger, and you can rotate it again at THAT position.
  • 14 of 15: You now need to rotate the key again. This time, rotate it to around 8 o'clock, then to around 5 o'clock.
  • 15 of 15: After you've done all of this, the paths will all be drawn on the map.
