The Cameron Files Hints

I can't find anything to do in the distillery.

  • 1 of 11: MacGrab sounds like a clever guy.  He wouldn't leave anything incriminating out in the open.
  • 2 of 11: There's probably a "secret room" of some kind, somewhere.
  • 3 of 11: Look around carefully.  Pay particular attention to the water wheel, and its flow.
  • 4 of 11: Where is the water going?
  • 5 of 11: There must be someplace for it to go.
  • 6 of 11: If only there was a way to stop the flow of water....
  • 7 of 11: Perhaps if you could stop the water wheel temporarily....
  • 8 of 11: Now check the location where the water was flowing. 
  • 9 of 11: You'll need to follow the flow of water all the way to the end.
  • 10 of 11: To do that, you'll need to go back inside the door to the distillery.
  • 11 of 11: You should now find an accessible trap door that leads to rooms and tunnels underneath the distillery.
