The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure Hints

At Martello Tower, how can I get Nigel to pass into the caves?

  • 1 of 10: Nigel is a cautious fellow -- and he would like to know what he may be up against before embarking off into a dangerous and dark cave.
  • 2 of 10: Did you take a look at the sides of the rock wall next to the cave?
  • 3 of 10: There seems to be a piece of a sign on the wall, and three more screws -- almost indicating that there were other pieces of that sign.
  • 4 of 10: Those pieces are going to need to be found, collected, and put back onto these screws in the correct position.
  • 5 of 10: Once you have all of the pieces, you need to attach them to the screws in the wall.
  • 6 of 10: You can then left click (and hold) or right click (and hold) in order to rotate the pieces clockwise and anti-clockwise.
  • 7 of 10: There is no real difficulty in assembling the pieces. The two quarters with the larger text (which make up the word "BEWARE") go in the top two spaces.
  • 8 of 10: The smaller text (which reads "DANGEROUS UNDERCURRENTS & EROSION") goes underneath.
  • 9 of 10: The text is the obvious way up, and it won't be a difficult task at all to re-assemble the pieces.
  • 10 of 10: Once you have done so, there will be a sound played to indicate that you have successfully solved the puzzle, and after this, Nigel will happily waltz off into the caves.
