The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure Hints
How can I get past the stone wall?
1 of 11: The solution to this problem lies in repairing the waterwheel one screen after the archway here.
2 of 11: If you fix the waterwheel, the stone tile on the wall next to the wheel will become functional, meaning that you can lower the stone wall.
3 of 11: To fix the wheel, first we need to identify the problem.
4 of 11: The wooden pipe that the water flows down is broken at one position, which is unfortunately allowing the water to drip down. This means that it isn't reaching the wheel.
5 of 11: We need to use an item to bridge the gap between the broken pieces of pipe.
6 of 11: The item we need was not found inside the mine, but it wasn't too far outside.
7 of 11: If you were reading my hint on how to get to the mine, you will have the item by now.
8 of 11: If not, you can find it outside in Carrion Woods -- and the item is itself made of wood.
9 of 11: There is a pinecone a couple of screens back towards Raven Lane.
10 of 11: Grab it, and use it on the gap in the piping to bridge it.
11 of 11: You can now press the tile to lower the stone wall and continue on your way.
