Nancy Drew 18: The Phantom of Venice Hints
How do I navigate this area?
1 of 14: It's a stinker, no question. Read to the end of this hint for step-by-step directions through this mess.
2 of 14: If you're playing as a junior, along with the key you got a little diagram that can be used here. Just go to the wheels in the order on the paper and either fill or drain so you can move to the next number.
3 of 14: Not enough info? No, it didn't really help me either. Here are the steps you need to take to get through this area. The numbers of the steps correspond to the numbers on Nico's diagram, if that helps you keep track of where you are.
4 of 14: 1. After you use the key to enter this area, look at the map on the right wall, then go right to reach the first area. Turn left, look at the signs, and turn the wheel left to FILL the circle tank one notch.
5 of 14: 2. Turn right, cross the bridge, and turn right to see another wheel; turn it right to DRAIN the circle tank one notch.
6 of 14: 3. Turn left and go down the ladder to the next level. Turn around, go across the bridge, and turn the wheel here right to DRAIN the circle tank another notch.
7 of 14: 4. Turn left, walk down the tunnel. You're now at the triangle tank. Cross the bridge and turn the wheel here right to DRAIN the triangle tank one notch.
8 of 14: 5. Turn left and go down the tunnel to the diamond tank. Turn the wheel here left to FILL the diamond tank one notch.
9 of 14: 6. Turn right and cross the bridge. Turn the wheel here right to DRAIN the diamond tank one notch.

11 of 14: 8. Turn left and go down the tunnel back to the triangle tank. Turn the wheel here right to DRAIN the triangle tank one notch.
12 of 14: 9. Go back down the tunnel to the diamond tank. Cross the bridge, climb up the ladder, turn around, and turn the wheel left to FILL the diamond tank one notch.
13 of 14: 10. Climb up the ladder to the top, turn around, and turn the wheel left to FILL the diamond tank to the top.
14 of 14: Cross the bridge and look for a red arrow on the ground just past the station. Turn left here, and you're in a new spot. (And don't worry, you won't have to follow all that to get out again.)
