Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
When should I talk to Dr. Buford?
1 of 5: The guy sitting out in front of ZeKe's eating crawfish is Dr. Buford, an old friend of Bruno's. When Nancy learns that (after she reads the Crystal Skull book and talks to Henry about it) --
2 of 5: -- she'll call Bess and ask her to talk to him about Bruno's death. That's your cue.
3 of 5: To talk to him, just click on him, and Bess will saunter over and be charming for a while. After you say goodbye and go back to your room, call Nancy and report.
4 of 5: You can talk to him whenever you like after that (though he leaves after a while). You don't have to talk to him again if you don't want to, but it might be a good idea to do so if his name comes up again --
5 of 5: -- like after Nancy gets into the secret room and reads all the stuff on the desk about the Jolly Rogers.
