Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
How do I get Lamont to leave the second time?
1 of 6: When Nancy needs to know the name of Bruno's dog (which will happen after she's been in the secret room and is trying to use the piece of paper from the creepy dummy) --
2 of 6: -- she'll ask you to get into the back room a second time. Well, there's no way Lamont will fall for the same trick twice. You'll have to try something else.
3 of 6: Come to think of it, I bet he's still sore about that sneezing powder thing. Maybe you ought to apologize.
4 of 6: Talk to Lamont again and talk to him about the gumbo sold by the van outside, and he'll tell you something quite useful --
5 of 6: -- namely, that he loves it but the hot sauce makes him sick. Oh, SUCH a mean thought just came to me.
6 of 6: Keep talking, and Bess will apologize for the sneezing powder and offer to go get Lamont some gumbo. Then go to the van and order some gumbo. When it comes, use the hot sauce on it, then give it to him.
