The Black Mirror Hints
How can I keep the grave-digger from interrupting me?
1 of 8: There is nothing you can say or do to convince him not to.
2 of 8: However, there is a way to make sure that he cannot stop you.
3 of 8: You need to trap him in that crypt he's working in.
4 of 8: Examine its door. What's keeping it open?
5 of 8: There are two things.
6 of 8: One is the wire that connects the door to a nearby railing. Click on the wire to eliminate it. (NOTE: You can't do anything with the wire until you've tried using the shovel on William's grave at least once.)
7 of 8: The door is also kept open by a peg wedged in under the door. Click on it to eliminate it.
8 of 8: Once both obstructions are gone, the door will swing closed by itself and Samuel will use the peg to wedge it in place.
