Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints

How do I keep from getting caught by the sentry robots?

  • 1 of 4: Don't let them see you -- that is, don't let their yellow laser sights hit you. If they do it's not a disaster; the game will just send you back to the spot where you entered this level. But it's annoying all the same.
  • 2 of 4: Watch for their patterns, then run to a spot where they can't see you. They always start in the same spot when you enter an area, so the same moves will always work (or not work).
  • 3 of 4: There are three kinds of robots here. The green ones move slowly, the blue ones move moderately fast, and the red ones really book.
  • 4 of 4: Finally, you can navigate this area with either mouse or keyboard. I find it much easier to use the keyboard, since you never need to go diagonally and it's easier to control Nancy with the arrow keys.
