Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
I'm stuck, and I can't find the answer!
1 of 5: Well, as always, make sure you READ TO THE END OF THE HINT. Almost every time, if you read all the way to the end of the hint, I'll give you the exact step-by-step answer to the puzzle.
2 of 5: There are a couple of places in this game where you can get really stuck in the doldrums and it doesn't seem like anything is happening. When you get to one of those places, the way to get moving again is to solve a puzzle you don't realize you haven't tackled yet.
3 of 5: The easiest place to get stuck is at the beginning of the game, before you've found the key to the locked crypt in the cemetery.
4 of 5: What you'll find there leads you to the Secret Room, and after you get there things will start to move pretty quickly.
5 of 5: The other place where things can grind to a halt is in finding all of the Glass Eyes. You can find out which ones you're missing by checking the eye cabinet in the Secret Room.
