The Black Mirror Hints

How can I get Samuel to access his travel map?

  • 1 of 13: At first, the game will be pulling its favorite routine of forcing you to stay in one region until you do a certain number of things.
  • 2 of 13: Most of those things have to do with investigating Henry's death.
  • 3 of 13: After you've drained the fountain, opened the metal box, and talked to Morris, make sure you've finished investigating at the fountain.
  • 4 of 13: You've looked at the symbol, right?
  • 5 of 13: You will want to remember what this symbol looks like.
  • 6 of 13: Take a photo of the symbol. (Use the camera on the symbol in the close-up like you did with the symbol in Chapter I.)
  • 7 of 13: What else can you find around the fountain?
  • 8 of 13: In particular, search the ground nearby.
  • 9 of 13: Did you find the footprint next to the fountain? (It's right near the big rain puddle.) Click on it to examine it.
  • 10 of 13: Perhaps someone can tell you more about the footprint.
  • 11 of 13: Remember, Morris was the one who found Henry's body.
  • 12 of 13: Go talk to Morris about it.
  • 13 of 13: Once you've completed all of the above activities, you should be able to access the travel map.
