Nancy Drew 17: Legend of the Crystal Skull Hints

What's with the symbols on the wall?

  • 1 of 4: Aren't they bizarre? Fortunately, there's a reference book in this room somewhere.
  • 2 of 4: Did you notice the chest in the corner of the room with the weird symbols on the top?
  • 3 of 4: It's in that chest.
  • 4 of 4: Once you have it open, use the book to translate the symbols on the wall. No, they don't make sense, but write them down anyway; you'll need to know them when you get into The Secret Room. In the meantime, ask Renee about them to see what she says.
