The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure Hints

How can I reach Ulcombe?

  • 1 of 9: In order to reach Ulcombe, you need to first identify exactly where it is, in a similar way to how Nigel wouldn't head to Northfield Church until we had seen it from a distance.
  • 2 of 9: Think about a place you could go, and a tool you could use, to see Ulcombe from a distance.
  • 3 of 9: You need to find a high vantage point. And since Ulcombe is not in Saxton, a place outside of Saxton would be your best bet.
  • 4 of 9: Where can you look upon Saxton town from a distance?
  • 5 of 9: Head to the coastal path, up past the Celtic Corner.
  • 6 of 9: In order to see the town of Ulcombe, you need a magnifier of some sort.
  • 7 of 9: The magnifier you need is the item you stole from the museum yesterday.
  • 8 of 9: Use the telescope at the end of the coastal path at the lower-left side of the water, and Nigel will see Ulcombe Church.
  • 9 of 9: You can now walk to Ulcombe Church by continuing to the left to where we found the Pasque flower, and continuing on to the left.
