The Messenger Hints
How do I open the locked chest?
1 of 5: This is the 1300's; daintiness is not "in."
2 of 5: You'll need brute force to open the lock.
3 of 5: Think of how a police officer might open a lock without a key -- especially in the movies.
4 of 5: You'll need to "shoot it off."
5 of 5: Use your crossbow to shoot the clasp. You'll need to combine the crossbow with a bolt before firing it at the clasp.
