Dracula 3: The Path of the Dragon Hints

What could the tiny holes signify?

  • 1 of 16: Maybe they're marking the letters that make up a secret message-within-a-message.
  • 2 of 16: Make an ordered list of those letters and see what you get.
  • 3 of 16: You'll end up with C-C-H-H-H-H-O-O-N-A-N-A-S-H-H-O. Not very communicative-looking, is it?
  • 4 of 16: Those are clearly not meant to be separated into words, so what could they mean?
  • 5 of 16: Look around in the developing room for a big clue.
  • 6 of 16: Notice that there are bottles of chemicals near the light tray with labels like C2H4O2 and K2S2O5.
  • 7 of 16: Apparently, the secret message is telling you what chemicals to use for some special process.
  • 8 of 16: Try combining the duplicated letters in the message to see what you get.
  • 9 of 16: They'll combine to form C2H4O2NA2SH2O.
  • 10 of 16: There's undoubtedly more than one chemical in that list, so try to break it up using the labels you see on the bottles.
  • 11 of 16: TIP: Don't try to read the on-screen labels, but point at each bottle to get some text at the top of the screen that'll be much easier to read.
  • 12 of 16: Looking for something that starts with C2, you'll find that concentrated acetic acid (the bottle that Father Arno clumsily spilled) is C2H4O2.
  • 13 of 16: That takes care of the first part of the secret message, so now look for something that starts with NA2.
  • 14 of 16: Two bottles to the right of the concentrated acetic acid is a bottle of sodium sulfite (anhydrous), which has the label NA2S.
  • 15 of 16: That just leaves us with H2O, and I'm sure we all know what that is!
  • 16 of 16: The lower row of bottles includes one with distilled water, so that's the third "chemical" in the series.
