Black Mirror III Hints
How can I solve the map-marking puzzle?
1 of 12: Figure out which of the menhirs is the special "starting point" menhir, then draw lines from it to the five portal locations.
2 of 12: Exit the puzzle screen and look through your inventory for something that has six points and some lines on it.
3 of 12: The drawing of a star constellation that Darren made after his most recent hypnotherapy session has six stars and some lines on it. That must be your clue.
4 of 12: Looking at the drawing, you'll notice that one of the stars isn't connected to the others with lines.
5 of 12: Use the pencil with the walking map to get the puzzle screen back up, then check the X's to see which one might correspond to the left-out star.
6 of 12: It's pretty obviously either the top middle one or the bottom middle one.
7 of 12: Trying it both ways, you'll find that it's the top middle one.
8 of 12: So here's how to connect the X's: top left to top right, top right to bottom right, bottom right to bottom middle, bottom middle to bottom left, and bottom left to top left (in any order).
9 of 12: When you get it right, Darren will make a comment. You'll then need to draw lines from the unconnected X to the five locations where portals can be found.
10 of 12: Each of those lines will pass directly through one other X on its way to its destination, so use that to determine where the lines need to be drawn.
11 of 12: If you draw lines from the unconnected X through each of the five other X's, you'll find that three of them end up at Warmhill, the hotel, and the northern of the two yellow marks that are south of the castle. The other two lead to locations that aren't marked on the map.
12 of 12: You'll get a comment from Darren for each of the five lines that are drawn correctly. (Note that you don't have to draw all five of them right away, but you might as well do so to complete the puzzle before moving on.)
