The Black Mirror Hints
How can I open the two locked chests in here?
1 of 6: You'll need to find a key.
2 of 6: Have you searched the contents of the roll-top desk for a key?
3 of 6: How about the drawer? The desk has a drawer on its left side that you can open and examine separately from the main roll-top portion.
4 of 6: Take the book from the desk drawer and examine it (right-click on it in inventory).
5 of 6: Samuel will discover a key hiding inside the book, so try it on both chests.
6 of 6: You'll find that it only unlocks the massive chest over to the right, but that's enough. (The other chest can't ever be opened.)
