Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
How do I get past the wasps, and why?
1 of 5: The wasps have built their nest in a loquat tree. (That's a fruit that's kind of like a pear and kind of like an apple.) If you could subdue the wasps, you could pick one.
2 of 5: Seems like you need some kind of pest spray here. See that strange device leaning up against the trunk of the tree? That's an old-fashioned pest spray device called a Flit gun, just the thing you need. (Their slogan was, "Quick, Henry, the Flit!")
3 of 5: Pick up the thing and click on the tree to take on the wasps. What you're trying to do here is knock them all out at the same time, so keep squirting at the ones that are still flying until they're all down. If one turns red, that means it's about to sting you, so zap it quick.
4 of 5: When all the wasps are down, a loquat will appear in the middle of the screen. Take it and run.
5 of 5: You can only have one loquat at a time, so you don't need to come back to the tree till that one is gone. You only need three loquats altogether, if you're careful. If you take more than that, the wasps will get a LOT tougher.
