Echo: Secrets of the Lost Cavern Hints
How do I paint the squares?
1 of 7: The first thing you'll need is paint -- or, more precisely, pigments.
2 of 7: Apparently, the previous occupant was also a cave painter, and left some of his pigments in the cave.
3 of 7: You should find three different colored pigments if you explore carefully enough.
4 of 7: There is red pigment on the ground near the colored squares on the wall -- just to the right of the stained stone.
5 of 7: There is brown pigment at the very back of the cave. From the rock work surface, turn to the left and look for the pigment on the ground.
6 of 7: Go one step away from the cave entrance, using the path on the right (when your back is to the entrance). In this location, look just to the left of the pile of branches for the black pigment.
7 of 7: But the pigments are powdered. They'll need to be moistened before they can be used.
