Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints
How do I get all the stars in the Meta Awards?
This is a new way of doing the nickname thing, and on the whole I really like it. No more wondering what the other names are or how you get them; now you can have them all! The awards are:
No Clue Left Behind -- for discovering the truth behind Bruno's purloined letter
To get this one, dress Iggy up as a mailman so he retrieves the letter, read it, call the authenticator, talk to Renee about it, then finish the game (when she'll tell you more about it).
Sweet Tooth -- for your obvious enthusiasm for Koko Kringle bars
To get this one, eat as many Koko Kringle bars as you can until Nancy gets woozy and stops.
Cajun Cookin' Connoisseur -- for trying that spicy gumbo
To get this one, order yourself some gumbo and put hot sauce on it. (And for extra fun, buy all three items and put hot sauce on all of them. Man! I thought Bess was more polite than that.)
Gumball Geek -- for never meeting a gumball you didn't like
To get this one, eat a whole bunch of gumballs in the secret room. You can eat as many as you want, but I stopped at ten.
Wasp Whipper -- for showing those pesky hymenoptera who's boss
To get this one, subdue the wasps at least four times.
Chit Chat Champ -- for never missing an opportunity to chat someone up
To get this one, stop and talk to Henry and Renee every time you walk by.
Dummy Dearest -- for spending way too much time with that creepy dummy
To get this one, have the dummy say a bunch of stuff before you do the phrase from Renee's wall. (Because after that, he doesn't work anymore.)
Marble Marvel -- for solving the square and marble puzzle in record time
To get this one, solve the coffee table puzzle the first time.
Powder Puff -- for nosing around in all those powders at ZeKe's
To get this one, sample all the powders in ZeKe's, not just the sneezing powder.
Egg Head -- for finding an Easter egg
To get this one, get at least one of the three Easter eggs in the game.
Basket Case -- for finding all three Easter eggs
To get this one, get all three of the Easter eggs in the game.
Trivia Tamer -- for guessing the correct answer to your trivia question
To get this one, get the right answer to the trivia question given at the end of the game.
