Nancy Drew: The Haunting of Castle Malloy Hints

What am I doing with the wall with the designs?

  • 1 of 10: This wall is on the right after you leave the castle door. There doesn't look like there's any way to get to the other side of the wall --
  • 2 of 10: -- except that there's a section, up near the castle, that has a blue outline around it. Click on it to look at it from ground level.
  • 3 of 10: That part of the wall has a whole bunch of symbols on it, and you can push them. If you can figure out the right combination of symbols to push -- well, who knows what will happen? Read to the end of this hint for the symbols, but they won't work until you find the answer in the game.
  • 4 of 10: You don't have to memorize the symbols here, but take a look at them, then keep an eye open for somewhere else on the grounds where you'll see some of those symbols repeated.
  • 5 of 10: Like the three Celtic crosses on the other side of the grounds.
  • 6 of 10: Once you have the lens from the hut in the bog --
  • 7 of 10: -- pop the lens into each of the three crosses and draw the pictures you see. Now you just have to figure out what order to push those shapes in.
  • 8 of 10: Rather than left to right, look for some other way to order the three crosses. Is there any writing on them?
  • 9 of 10: Each one has a date on it: 1801, 1845, and 1916. Try putting them in that order.
  • 10 of 10: Here are the symbols you need to push. But remember, this won't work until you've gotten the lens from the bog hut and put it in the three crosses.
