The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure Hints
How can I get the book from Gruel's table?
1 of 8: You will learn quite quickly that talking to Gruel is not going to achieve anything at all -- he's clearly quite mad.
2 of 8: However, a quick cursory glance around the area near him will reveal a much more useful clue.
3 of 8: There is a book showing the three crowns motif we're interested in -- it's pretty much right in front of him.
4 of 8: However, you're going to need a way to take it without him stopping you.
5 of 8: The solution was pretty obvious to me -- you just need to wait for a moment when it's not obvious to HIM.
6 of 8: He seems to place that weird doll in front of his face at certain times, doesn't he?
7 of 8: Perhaps if you waited until he had it over his eyes to take the book, he wouldn't notice?
8 of 8: Wait until he has lifted "Jemima" over his eyes, then grab the book quickly, and he will let you take it.
