The Dig Hints
How do I get Brink to help me?
1 of 9: He's really obsessed with those life crystals of his.
2 of 9: If you could take his crystals, then he might be willing to help you.
3 of 9: You're going to have to distract him.
4 of 9: How about using those bats in the adjacent location?
5 of 9: Try scaring them out of their hideout.
6 of 9: You only have one item that will reach up to the bats.
7 of 9: And even that does so only indirectly.
8 of 9: Shine your flashlight on the creatures and they'll run Brink out of his area for a while.
9 of 9: Take his life crystals while you still can. Then when he returns, you can talk him into helping you rescue Maggie.
