The Crystal Key Hints
Why doesn't a new location show up on the monitor?
1 of 11: Remember to try scrolling left or right to see all of the choices.
2 of 11: You should have both the gatehouse and the desert world plus a new one.
3 of 11: If you don't see a leaf, read the hints below.
4 of 11: Listen carefully to what the scientist in the hologram said again. Your clue is in his very last sentence.
5 of 11: He said "The only thing left to do is throw away our last location crystal."
6 of 11: It must be around here somewhere. Perhaps they threw it into the water over there.
7 of 11: Turn around and look for a double-pronged rock at the water's edge.
8 of 11: You'll need to fashion a rope or something else to climb down, though.
9 of 11: Do you still have those jumper cables? If not, go back to the entry and retrieve them from the sand near the hologram projector. (Turn around while looking down at the ground to see them.)
10 of 11: Attach the jumper cables to the rock and climb down.
11 of 11: You'll find the last location crystal for your key.
